And he finally sold the old wagon be-

NO FARE FOR A DOLL.

True kindliness does not abound In any particular place. A conductor on a Ridge avenue car the other day gave an example Of how the ordinary things of life may be made attractive by the presence of little kindliness. The car stopped and little girl car ryins a large doll, got on. The con- ductor came in to collect her fare. The little girl who was about years old handed him nickel. He looked at it and then at her, but didn't register the fare. Her expression was that of perplexity. The con ductor then leaned down and asked her for the dolls fare. The request made the little girls perplexity even greater But the conductor quickly asked her whether the doll wasn't over three years old, and to her negar tive reply he said: "Oh! I thought she was. and was waiting for her fare" Then he smdnngly pulled the register strap, and the. other passen- gers who had witnessed the occurance somehow or other felt better for this httle- touch of whimsical comedy.
