TWO Stories of Courteous Conductors
Who Looked After Their
Passengers.

Once l was down in Louisiana" a
traveller began, "on a little railroad
that runs from Franklin to Weeks
island. 1t took five hours to go 20
miles. The most amazing thing to me
was that the conductors stopped the
train anywhere he was asked to, and
If there were no one to meet a woman
passenger with innumerable bags and
the inevitable baby, he helped her
across a plowed field or sent a brake
man to carry her traps to her own
gate and the train waited until he
came back"
Nothing surprising about that" re-
turned a born New Yorker. THE
Madison venue cars stop every day
for reasons quite remote from a regu-
lar schedule. / was on a car this after
noon and a little boy dropped his
mothers umbrella out of the window.
The conductor stopped the car and
ran back a block and a half, got the
umbrella, delivered it to the woman
and incidentally advised her not to let
her son have it again.
Besides, I've known of more than
one eye being punched out Of a care

CHAPTER XVI.
PHILIP vANT1NE's CALLER

1t was a sorbid story that Rogers
gasped out to us; and, as it concerns
this tale only incidentally, I shall pass
over it as briefly as may be.
Eight or 10 years before, the fair
Julie-at least, she was fairer then than
now!-had come to New York to enter
the employee Of a family who's mistress
had decided that life without a French
maid was unendurable. Rogers had
met her. had been fascinated by her
black eyes n red lips, had, in the
end. proposed honorable marriage
quite unnecessarily, no doubt!-had
been accepted. and for some months
had led an eventful existence as the
husband Of the siren. Then, one morn
ing, he awakened to find her gone.
He had, of course, entrusted his saw
ings to her-that had been n condi-
ton of the marriage-and the savings
were gone. also Julie it seems. had
been overcome with longing for the
Paris asphalt; no doubt. too, she had
found herself ennuied by the lack
of romance in married life with
Rogers; and she had flown back to
France. Rogers had thought Of fol-
lowing; but, appalled, at the difficulty
Of finding her in Paris; not knowing
what he should do if he did find her,
he had finally given up, and had set
tied gloomily down to live upon his
memories. Some sort of affection for
her had kept alive within him, and
when he opened the door of Vantine's
house and found her standing on the
steps, he was as wax in her hands.
Julie had listened to all this indif-
ferently, ever disdainfully, without
denying anything, nor seeking to ex-
cuse herself. Perhaps the idea that she
needed excuS did not occur to her.
And when the story was finished she
was quite herself again; even a little
proud. I think, Of holding the center
of the stage in the role of siren. It
was almost a rejuvenescence. and
there was gratitude in the gaze she
turned on Rogers.
This is all true. I suppose?" asked
the yelled lady.
"AlI quite true, madame" answered
Julie, with a shrug. IT was younge
then and the love Of excitement was
too strong for me. I am older now,
and have more sense-besides, I am no
longer sought after as I was"
and so.' said madame, with Irony,
you are now, no doubt, willing to re-
turn to your husband"
II have been considering 1t,
madame replied Julie, with %astound-
ing simplicity. ever since I saw him
here the other evening, and learned

I glanced at Rogers and was
astonished to see that he was regard
ing the woman with affectionate ad-
miration. Evidently the harbour was
waiting, should !ulie choose to anchor
there.
II have hesitited," she added, only
because Of madame. Where would

AUTO CRASH ON SCENIC
MURPHY DRIVE
From Saturdays DaiIy.)

What might have resulted in a
fatal auto crash was narrowly avert
ed by a stroke of good fortune yes
terday afternoon when an Overland
roadster driven by Mrs. II. T.
Southworth and an Overland tour
ing car in charge of Bud Gilbert
came together with a sickening
crash on an embankment off the
Murphy d.'iae. Mrs. Southworth is
today recovering from number of
painful buiises.
Taking a6 vantage OF the delight
full weather conditions, a number
OF touring partie, yesterday made
the trip OF inspection around the
recently improved Murphy Drive.
Mrs. Southworth drove over at
about O'Clock. Machines usually
start by taking the road to the
right where the crossroads meet.
Neither driver heard the approach
OF the others machine as dense
foliage near a sharp curve was ap-
preached. Both machines were 60
ing about fifteen miles an hour. But
a few PAGES separated the two cars
as the drivers sighted ono another.
Realizing that a collision was un-
avoidable unless one OF the cars left
the road, Mrs. Southworth turned
her steering wheel clear to the
right mounting a sharp embankment
and crashing over small tree. The
sudden appearance of the other car
unnerved Gilbert who had for COM
panions James Farley and Malcolm
G. Lowry in the front seat.
In a second his machine climbed
on the same embanlunent mounted
by Mrs. Southworth and the two
cars came together with a thud.
For a moment the air was filled
with gasoline smoke and the sounds
of crashing parts. Then as the air
cleaned Mrs. Southworth was seen
partly hanging over her wheel, the
shock of the collision having jar
red her from her seat. So closely
huddled together were the :hree
young men in the front seat oil
their machine that all they received
was a shaking up.
Both machines were rather badly
damaged and will require extensive
repairs. Mrs. Southworth drove
her machine back to the city while
the other car remained hung up"
