Of its chin.
An old cOlored woman sitting next to the

these are bits of good fortune that come but

her way into the crowded conveyance.
The baby didn't have any bOnes-or, at
least, such was the impression conveyed to
some of the more critical observers on the
car, the writer among them. 1t hung over
it's mammals shoulder in a helpless. limp
manner, suggestive of a big lump Of putty
although it was wrapped up in so many
different kinds of apparel that 1t
more properly resembled a squashy pillow.
The car was crowded when the newcomers
put in an appearance. and there were no
more empty seats. In fact, three men and
two women were standing. hanging on TO
straps. But instantly a couple of men
sprang TO their feet-men who had, doubt
less, been telling themselves that they had
just as much right to seats as had the femi-
nine passengers-and insisted upon giving

Of the hand satchel she produced a leather
pocketbook. From the leathern pocketbook
she brought forth a diminutive case made
Of alligator skin and intended for no other
purpose than TO hold street-car tickets.
Everybody watched these proceedings with
great interest. 1t reminded one of Keller,
the magician, performing his celebrated
gold-ring trick, and at least one of the pas
sengers present expected to see the young
woman produce a gold ring witt a flower
tied to it and toss it to its owner with the
nonchalant announcement, you will find,
ladies and gentlemen, that this is the iden-
teal gold ring that / shot from the pistol
a momen ago" But no. the little alligator
case contained a dollars worth of tickets,
wedged into the thing so tightly that any
amount of Juggling and pulling failed to
extract them.
The conductor smiled goOd-humoredly
and put one thick, dirty finger softly on the
tip end of the baby's fiat little nose. The in
FAINT. who was a diplomat and bent upon
holding the conductors attention while its
mother gained more time, gave a gurgling,
hysterical shrek and kicked up its small,
fat legs in such hilarity that it nearly fell
into the aisle. The conductor. now the en-
Wed of all. was so pleased that he offered
to help the young woman in getting the
tickets out of the alligator case, but though
he pulled and yanked at the little card
boards he finally gave up the thing as a bad
job, declaring that he could not get EN- out
without tearing 'em. With a sigh of resig-
nation the young woman replaced the ALI
gator case in the pocketbook, the pocket
book in the hand satchel and the hand
satchel in the big cloth bag. She was so
embarrassed that she forgot entirely what
the conductor was there for until she looked
up at him, blushing furiously, and found
that he was still waiting for the fare.
"Oh, dear! How stupid of mel" she ex-
claimed. iii pay you III cash."
So she took the hand satchel out of the big
black bag and the pocketbook out of the
hand satchel and a smooth nickel out of
the pocketbook-a nickel that had long ago
seen it's best days and should have been
withdrawn from active service. The con-
ductor accepted it, turned it over, peered
at it curiously, and then, catching sight of
the baby's upturned, dimpled face and de-
lighted smile, placed the coin in his pocket
and pulled the cash register. The baby had
won it's first real victory in the battle of
life.
The conductor was fascinated by that
baby. He wasn't in a hurry to retreat to his
platform even then. and he completely COW

more of the uncles and cousins came in

what a brave little girl she was to be a
flower girl for cousin Carols wedding.
The next morning things were even more
stirring and 'Melia found her little brain
growing light with excitement. There were
strange men who came and tackled up
strands of green and set palms and tall
cathedral candles and clusters of cleaning
white flowers until the parlors and library
took on the solemn look of a church. But
there was nothing else solemn about it all,
for there were hght-footed cousins run

tons, opening parcels; aunties talking
everything over in voluble merriment:
cousin Carol flying here and there and every

owner of the boa-an overdressed miss of

1t was that the young mother lost her tenn
per-. and since she couldn't take IL out on the
people around her, whom. by this time. she
loathed and detested. she took IL out on the
poor infant. She yanked on the baby's coat

felt the change In its mothers attitude-its

straw broke the baby's back. 1t sent up a
yell that put all Of its previous yells 10
