conductor who had once been In the
ministry, and who retained some OF
his former ways of speech In his new
calling.
He had been at the front OF the car
collecting fares, and when he returned
to his platform a well-disposed person
told him that a man had boarded the
car at Houston street and had found a
place inside.
The conductor stepped inside the
doorway, and ran his mild gaze up ana
down the car, but could not be sure
which of the tightly-packed passengers
was the late arrival.
"Win the gentleman who got on a
