wants to be accommodating. he must b-
very careful about how he does It, and

| other end of the town on a trolley car
and when he was returning a youns
woman showed evidence of a desire to-
| leave the car. The conductor was look
ing the other way and II seemed that she
would be carried past her stopping place
| " something was not done Immediately.
| The, young man came 10 the rescue
in good shape, however. and pulled the
cord which he thought would give the
motorman the signal TO stop the car and
let her of. But In his haste to render
the service he got somewhat careless and
| as he reached up to pull the cord he
| tailed 10 notice which one ne was grasp
ing and before he know IL he had rung up
a nickel. The ringing on the cash regis
ter attracted the attention Of the con-
ductor and he pulled the bell cord for
| the motorman TO stop. "a
| After the car had got under way again
| he had an interview with the accommo-
&c ting young man and while II was in
progress he collected a nickel for the
fare, which he had runs up.
