THE BOY IN THE CAR.
He Won Forgiveness From the W0man
Whose Gown He soilsd.

Whose Gown He Soiled.
The boy in the car sat cuddled so
close to the woman in gray that
everybody thought he belonged to
her. So when he unconsciously dug
his muddy shoes into the broadcloth
skirt of his left hand neighbor she
leaned over and said:
"Pardon me, madam. Will you
kindly make your little boy square
himself around? He is soiling my
skirt with his muddy shoes"
The woman in gray blushed a lit
tie and nudged the boy away.
"My boy" she said. my good
ness! He isn't mine"
The boy squirmed uneasily. He
was such a little fellow that he
could not begin to touch his feet to
the floor, so he stuck them out
straight in front of him like pegs to
hang things on and looked at them
ueprecatlngly.
'1'm sorry 1 got your dress dirty"
he said to the woman oD his left.
"I hope it will brush off"
The timidity in his voice took a
short cut to the woman's heart, and
she smiled upon him kindly.
"Oh, it doesn't matter" she said.
Then as his eyes were still fastened
upon hers she added, "Going up
town alone?"
''Yes, ma'am," he said. Il al
ways go alone There isn't anybody
to 90 with me. Fathers dead and
mothers dead. l live with Aunt
Clara over in Brooklyn, but she says
Aunt Anna ought to help do some
thing for me, so once or twice a
week when she gets tired out and
wants to 90 some place to get rested
up she packs me off over here to
stay with Aunt Anna. I'm going up
there now. Sometimes | don't find
Aunt Anna at home, but | hope she
will be home today, because it looks
like it is going to rain, and l don't
like to hang around in the street in
the rain"
The woman felt something move
inside her throat, and she said,
"You are a very little boy to be
knocked about in this way" rather
unsteadily.
"Oh, don't mind" he said. Il
never get lost. But get lonesome
sometimes on these long trips, and
when l see anybody that | think I'd
like to belong to | scrooge up close
to her so | can make believe that |
really am her little boy. This morn
ing was playing that l belonged
to that lady on the other side of me,
and l got so interested that | forgot
all about my feet That is why |
got your dress dirty"
The woman put her arm around
the tiny chap and "scrOoged" him
up so close that she hurt him, and
every other woman who had over
heard his artless confidence looked
as if she would not only let him
wipe his shoes on her best dress, but
would feel like spanking him if he
didn't.-New York Sun.
