NO STRAPS IN BERLIN CARS
When All the Seats Are Filled No Pas- senger Is Permitted to En-
 ter the Car.

There is no hanging on to straps in the street cars of Berlin, even in the rush hours. The police regulations for bid the carrying of alarger number of passengers in car than is authorized, and that number, which is posted con- spicuously in every car, ia the same as the number of seats, plus few per- mitted to be carried on the front and rear platforms, usually six persons on the two platforms, says the New York Snn. .'. ; '-..-
 When all the seats are filled no pas senger is permitted to enter the car Standing in aisles or holding on to straps is not permitted. Similarly on the platforms when six passengers have found places there.
 "This regulation" says Consul Gen. eral2Tason, "often separates a man and his wife, who are not allowed to return home by the same car, but il has the effect that there is no over. crowding and standing on each others feet. The conductor and motorman are instructed to enforce the re gala, tion and they do it without fear or favor. The conductor is, in this coun. try, clothed with the authority of a policeman on board his car, and can put off any passenger who misbehaves This is probably the meat of the wh ole ! matter. The conductor is municipal officer within the prescribed limits o1 his duty"

home when he noticed what looked
uncommonly like a boats said flap
ping in the wind. This impressed
Sam as being a bit ont of the ordi-
nary for midwinter, but what gave him
a distinct shock was seeing a light in
log cabin that to his knowledge had
been unoccuped for years.
There was enough of his ancestors
blood in his veins to make him wary,
and he conjectured, not without rea-
son, that whoever was in the old cabin
had no right to be there. So he stoop-
ed down, unfastened his skates, and
slung them around his neck, and, swift
as a deer, ran to the shore of the
cove. Cautiously he crept over the
snow until he stood behind the cabin
and locked in through window.
Seated at little table were two
men. both keen-visaged. both well
dressed and both youthful. Overhead
hung dirty lantern. On the table
between them was spread out sheet
of white paper, which they were eX-
amining with great interest.

Sam waited to hear no more. The

Sam swung along buoyantly. The
next moment kissing, whistling sound
came to his ears, and he saw a flash

1t was the boat. They would beat
him yet. He dug his skates into the
ice despairingly and hurled himself
forward. But in minute or two he
became hopeful again. 1t was yet too
early for the burglars to begin work.
He could easily arrive in time to warn
the household.
Not pausing to seek the gate into
the Daleton grounds, he leaped the
high fence that paralleled the fir trees
only to alight upon a human body.
Next moment he was grasped by no
tender hands.

Sam Augustus was of the Algonquin
tribe, typical Indian of these days of
reservations-laZy, shiftless and ad-
dlcted to strong drink. AS an Indian
he was more or less despised by the
white men with whom he came in
contact. but was much too sy-going
to be disturbed by that. The possessor
of small farm on Georgina Island,
he was so far true to the traditions of
his ancestors as to allow Mrs. Sam Au-
gustus to earn his living for him,
which she cheerfully did, reaping har-
vest in the summer time by weaving
baskets of sweet grass and reeds for
the holiday seekers who annually WIS.,
tied Beaverton.
Beaverton was the most picturesque
spot on the shores of Lake Simcoe,
but Sam Augustus, on the occasions
of his periodical visits to the main
land, never stopped to contemplate its
various points of interest. There was
but one attraction in the place for
him, and that, it must be confessed
with shame, was the barroom of the
Alexandra house.
Sans visits to Beaverton or, to be
more exact, to the Alexandra house,
usually terminated in his crawling in
to the loft of the hotel stable. there
to sleep off the effects of the potent
fire water he had imbibed. But on a
Saturday night in June he enjoyed a
Aovel experience.
Paul Wilson had come to the mill
that day with load of grain and had
converted the grain not into flour, but
into greasy bits of paper which he
deemed far more useful. Then, as he
was consumed with great thirst, and,
moreover, had the wherewithal to
slake it, he naturally turned his team
toward the Alexandra house. Matters
following in logical sequence, Paul
Wilson developed ere night into a
drunken bully, with Sam Augustus the
especial object of his hectorirg. Sam,
indeed, was in fair way to get the
beating of his life when Ed Daletou
interfered.
Daleton interfered to such an eX-
tent that Paul was escorted to the vii
lage hospital while Sam Augustus,
ready by that time to consent to any
proposal, acceded to Daleton's request
to go home with him and in the morn
ing join the haymakers on the Daleton
estate.
An hour later found Sam tucked in
to the most comfortable bed he had
ever known. Ere morning came, how
ever, the bed was empty. The Indian
had already repented his rash promise
to go to work. Still, he took away
nothing but himself and his dirty
clothes, whereupon Daleton argued. he
must have felt at least half way CRATE
full.
The summer days passed away and
the autumn shadows heightened into
the blackness Of winter, but Sam Au-
gAtus had not once appeared at the
Alexandra house since that night in
June. Whatever conjectures the
habitues of the place might have haz-
arded concerning his absence were
driven out of mind, however. by n
