The little man was perspiring his coat

II Conte Antonio lacuzzo,' said he to
Sergt. Fahey
The sergeant responded nfTably, ask
ing him what was the matter. The Count
tried hard to tell the sergeant, talking
very fast and pointing at the monkey,
the parrot. the cat and the coat tails. The
sergeant said he couldn't understand.
The Count shook his head excitedly and
wrung his hands. The cat Moved. the parrot
laughed and Sergt. Fahey sent out for a
boothlaok. The bootblack acted as in
terpreter.
The Count wanted very much to know
what he could do to make IL uncomforta-
BILE for certain trolley car conductor on
the Broadway line. What had the con-
ductor done to him? What? Why, look
at the parrot cage, the dents II IL; look az

and two Of the most exquisite red ones
gone altogether from her tail; look. too,

IL happened in Broadway near Fiftieth
street about ] o'clock. There were lot
OF people in the car and many others ON
the street They all saw the Count fan
II was humiliating. He had the parrot
and Bess the cat and dip with him carry
ing them just as he was when he entered
the station house. He was moving. He had
lived for several weeks in the apartment
at IA West SiXty-fifth street, but the ten
ants next door were so noisy and played
the piano so poorly that he had decided
TO take apartments in West Fourteenth
street.
And he was just stepping on the car
when the conductor appeared at the door,
and, looking at him rudely, placed hand
forceiully upon his shoulder. The Count
OF course, had no way OF protecting himself
his arms being iul, and he tottered off
backward down in the dirty roadway.
The parrot cage hit the car wheel and
Polly few across the street. Polly had
been tame only few weeks, so the Count
started for Polly first. Iip made for an
electric light pole. Polly flew to the gable
of the subway kiosk.
Tho people on the street, who were kind.
good people. although they did laugh, got
q stepladder and caught Polly and Jip
came down at once. But tho conductor
on that trolley car. he DIDN'T stop minute.
Could the sergeant have him arrested?
you will have to get the number OF the
car and bring suit against the conductor
said Sergt Fahey.
The Count. carrying Polly and Bess and
leading the monkey, left the station house
to look for cab
The Count told the bootblack that his
homo was in Naples but that he had been
In this country for some time.
