happened to be a gentleman, and by
paying the fare himself, saved her a
weary walk to the family residence.
She had the ten cents with her when
she boarded the car. and she still had
the money when the conductor came
through on his trip for fares, but she
did not pay the conductor. 1t was all

full of bundles, she was compelled to
hold the ten-cent piece between her
teeth The motorman turned on the
current, the car gave a jerk and she
gave a start.

and she turned pale.

going from white to red and from red
back to white.
But can't carry you for nothing"
demonstrated the conductor.
