Az Bartlett said, the hill was cut
through by a railroad. The deep gully
brought Billy and the Watsrmelon to
halt when they had outstripped

behind at the foot Of the hil. The

eyes darkened with pain and he threw
one hund out after the small figure
in gesture that was full OF mingled
longing and hopelessness.
BILLY. Billy" he whispered, then
turned from the thoughts which were
coming thick and fast and started
toward the distant field and the
farmer
The farmer listened with blum. stu
pidity, hot and tired and cross. Yes,
he would come for the car as soon as
he could. but the hay had to be got
in first. It was late now. That train
whistle you could hear was the seven
O'Clock express. His horses were tired,
too, but. of course, II he were paid,
why that made difference. He would
be around as soon as he could get his
load In. 1t was the last load, anyway.
The Watermelon turned and far Ia
the distance, echoing and re-echoing
through the hills, he heard again the
scream of the approaching train.
Billy will be across the tracks by
this time," he thought. .I will have

As he approached the cut, he saw
the smoke Of the train rising above

through the evening calm like some

After the lady had climbed over you
she would have kept on to tho other
end of the bench where now there is
nothing but a sullen space"
/ began to insult myself
john I exclaimed inwardly, what
do you know about the etiquette of the
street car? According to the newspa-
pers it is only Mar who can be a
Hog on the street cars. and since you
are the original cause of blockading
the port when you moved over, you
must be the Hog"
Then / got so mad at myself that I
refused to talk to myself any fur

Never l said to myself. never
will anyone become a human Merri-

At the next corner very thin little
gentleman squeezed by me with a
look of reproach on his face, the like
of which l hope never to see again,
but was Charles j. Glue and firm in

Then a couple of Italy's sunny sons
of the name of Microbeini and Germi-

their initials on my kneecap and then
sat down to enjoy a smoke of domes-
tic rope. which fell across my nostrils
and remained there in bitterness.

owners, unless one of them happens to
have wooden leg.
Under ordinary circumstances four
into two won't go, but the Squeezer
cars defy the laws of gravitation.
A Squeezer conductor can put twen-
ty-six into nine, and still havo four
to carry.
For man with a small dining room
the Squeezer car has its advantage,
but when a stout man rides in them
he finds himself supporting lot of
strangers he never met before.
One morning l jumped on one of
those Squeezers feeling just like a
piness.
During the first seven blocks three
men, fresh from a distillery. grew up
in front of me and removed the
scenery.
One of them had to get out in a
hurry, so he kicked me on the shins
to show how sorry he was to leave
me.
One of the other two must have
been in the distillery long time, be-
cause pretty soon he neglected to use
his memory and sat down in my lap.
When l demonstrated with him, he
replied that this is free country. and
II he wished to sit down 1 had no
business to stop him.
Then his friend pulled us apart, and
resumed the use of my lap.
During the next twenty blocks l

mares ever rode behind

But now that I have 1t l might as

Every time l hop into one OF those
roomy, comfortable street cars in a
city of the second. third or even
fourth class Immediately contrast 1t
with the wood boxes we use In New
York. and / find myself growing red
in the face and biting my nails.
Those Squeezer cars that prowl the
streets of New York are surely the
breathless limit. aren't they?
The Squeezer car is the best genteel
imitation of a rough-house that has
ever been invented
They are called Squeezers because
the conductor has to let the passen-
gers out with can opener.
Brave and strong men climb into
a street car. and they are full of health
and life and yigor. but few blocks
OF the road they fall out backward and
inquire feebly for a sanitarium.
To ride on Broadway street car,
for instance, about eight o'clock of an
evening brings out all that is in n
man. including lot OF loud words he
didn't know he had.
The last census shows us that the
street cars in the city OF New York
have more ways of producing nervous
prostration and pa1pitation of the
brain to the square inch than the
combined population OF Amsterdam.
Rotterdam, Tinkerdam and Gotterdam-
merung.
To get In some of the street cars
about six o'clock IL a problem, and to
get out again is an assassination.
One evening recently / rode from
Forty-second street to Fifty-ninth
street without once touching the floor
with my feet.
Some of the New York street cars
lead double life. because they are
used all winter to act the part OF re-
frigerators.
1t is cold day when we cannot
find 1t colder in the street cars.
The germs in our street cars are ex-
tremely sociable and will follow a
stranger all the way home.
Often while riding in the New York
street cars have felt germ rubbing
against my ankle like kitten. Being
q gentleman. at least superflcially, I
did not reach down and kick 1t away,
because the law says we must not be
disrespectful to dumb brutes.
Many of these street cars are built
on the same general plan as a can
of condensed milk.
When you get out you cannot get in,
and when you get in you cannot get
out. because you hate to disturb the
strange gentleman that is using your
knee to lean over.
Between the seats there is space
of two feet, but In that space you

LLOYD-GE0RGE'S STANDBY

Miss Olwen Lloyd-George, the
daughter of the British minister of
munitions. is her fathers ''right-hand
man." assisting him in public duties
and ministering to his comfort and
health in his home.
The minister is a man of highly
nervous temperament and occasionally
he has to have a day in bed. where
he receives his private secretaries and
attends to the routine of business. At
such times his daughter assumes full
charge of his room, allows the secre.
taries Just as much time as her ia
theirs strength will allow and then
politely but firmly ends the days
work
When he is in good health the
two are companions for long walks
or at golf. In the summers Mr.. Lloyd
George has been fond of going with
his wife and daughter upon camping
excursions. living out of doors and
cooking the meals in Gypsy fashion.
He returns from such holidays with
