she fully realized that she might at
that very instant be under hostile
observation. In her easily excited
imagination, all around her the forest
seemed to conceal a hundred male
violent eyes. She shivered slightly,
wiped the perspiration from her brow
with one small bare fist, and plodded
on, clutching her light-wood to her
soft, rounded breast.
And now at last she was nearing
the open cabin door; and she must
not hesitate, must show no suspicion.
So she went in, dragging her clum-
sily-shod feet.

morning from Ridge and Allegheny ave-

near the terminus OF the carlIne at this

But the environment breathes spirit Of
loneliness and the bluecoats therefore
were a welcome sight.
The car got under way from this point

houses, plunged through wilderness

on in the distance one could see clouds
OF smoke and occasionally tall smoke
stacks. This was the only sign that the
car was still in the city.
This peculiar state OF affairs puzzled
the passenger for little while, but he
had not ridden long before he saw the
reason for the chaotic surroundings. It
was the carline itself

motOrman took the dlsgruntled riders

other interesting sight met the gaze OF
the passengers. II was a herd of goats,
about 80 of them, grazing on the some

was dotted with cans, bits OF wood and

growled another rider.
The laugh that followed showed that
others were OF the same opinion.
The car then followed a straight path
but at Germantown avenue the first pas
senger left. for his chief purpose was TO
reach the centre OF the city from Ridge
and Allegheny avenues and compare the
time made with that calculated by the
prospective subway rOuts for the same
distance.
It was $40 when the Allegheny ave-
nue. car arrived at Germantown avenue
and a minute later the trip downtown
was started via Germantown avenue and
Tenth street on The Number route.
Conditions were vastly different on the

women with babies.

The transit report does not disclose the
time-saving which will result to the
Northwest section, as distinguished here
from North Philadelphia, by reason of
the construction of the Broad street sub

travel to people living in the Northwest
will be very greatly reduced in money as
well as In time, under the terms OF the
transit program, but the existing con-

comfort and convenience to passengers.
Thousands of acres OF magnificent high
land which will be penetrated by Henry

proper transportation facilities.

A large part of that population is now
inconvenienced by the congestion of traf-

temporarily by the construction OF the
Broad street subway, which is to be OPP

later by the Parkway subway and the

Furthermore, the district north of

could be attributed partially to the pres
