It was In a Boston street car. When
the car stopped at a crossing, a lady
got up and went to the door, AS she
rose there was the chink Of a coin on
the floor. but before It occurred tc any
ore to step her she was out of the car
ard across the street. Two ladies who
had sat next 10 her looked with anx-
ious indifereuce or the floor. One OF
them leaned slightly forward, but slld
nothing. Just rs the conductor was

remember the coin fell into a glass
compartment first. and then the driver
pushed a lever which sent II into the
strong box below.
"As my wife heard the click Of the
lever she thought OF her i've dollar

Sure enough, II was gone. She went
forward and spoke to the driver. He
said he hadn't looked very carefuily,
but he thought there were only three
nickels In the glass receptacle when he
pushed the lever.
"My wife insisted. The driver said
IL she would ride to the end OF the line

miles beyond our street, and my wife
was IN u hurry.

door said lie was going to the end OF

found the FIVE dollar ~goldpiece In the
