THE SPOILED BIFF.
[From the Washington Star. ]

A good looking young woman with
laughing eyes and a bulldog got aboard
the upbound Metropolitan avenue car
at Sixth street. The car was only
partly filled. The young woman had
been leading the dog by the chain, but
just before getting aboard the car she
had unsnapped the chain from the
dogs collar. She walked into the closed
car, and the dog followed right after
her. She took a seat about in the mid
die of the car, but the dog went up to
the front door of the car and sat down
with his back to it, licked his chops,
regarded his mistress with a jealous
eye, and acted dignified.
The bulldog was bow legged, chunky,
bloodshot eyed, tusked and all bulldog.
That dog'H have to stay out on the
platform, miss said the conductor
when he came after the young woman S
fare.
But he won't remain there" said the
young woman. L know that is the
rule, and so, perhaps. does Biff, but he
won't obey rules"
Cant help it, miss said the con-
ductor. 'Gainst the rules to have him
inside, unless he could be taken in your
lap, and, of course, that

laughing eyes, sweetly. We'll" with
a sigh, If he really must stay on the
platform, suppose he must, that's ALL
Sorry. miss-Iule, you know"
''Yes, 1 know" said the young wo-
man.
Then the conductor leaned on the
other leg and waited for the young wo-
man to take the bulldog out to the plat
form. She made no move.
DOg'll have to go on the platform,
you know miss" said the conductor
after waiting a couple of minutes.
Why, dear me- were you waiting for
me?" inquired the young woman, in a
SURPRISED tone oldh KNOW you
were, really. You know, Biff won't mind
a word 1 say to him. Just call him out
and maybe he'll mind you"
The conductor opened the rear door
of the car and stood on the platform.
Come on here, you poodle" remark
ed the conductor to the bulldog. The
bulldog was studying the ads ranged
around the car, and occasionally look
ing at his mistress out of the tail of his
eye, and the conductor might have been
a craven image for all of him.
You dog, come out here, now, you
hear me?" remarked the conductor
The bulldog yawned in a bored sort
of way and blinked lazlIy.
<'The dogll really have to come out
on the platform, you know, MISS said
the conductor, addressing the young
woman again.
Il quite understand that" replied she.
"but what am to do? He is so spoiled
you know My brothers have quite
ruined Biff, so far as his minding me is
concerned. Biffie, Biffle, the conductor
man says you'll have to so out on the
platform" "
The dog didn't even turn his head
around to look at her. He was reading
the ads on the other side of the car
''Well,I just have to make him come
out, that's all" said the conductor. and
he charged on the dog with his hands
