After the show one evening lately,
three cars went out the Huntoon street
line in a string. All at once the door
of burning cloth struck the oifactory
nerves of everyone in the rear car, and
the men began to search their pockets
for smoldering matches, and the wo-
men looked for sparks in their own
clothing. At one of the interesting
streets a man got off from each car;
they met and walked down the street
together. Said the one from the rear
car: There was a blaze in our car
somewhere, tho 1 couldn't see it, but
smelt it plain enough Then the one
in the second car spoke, That was IN
our car. 1 know someone in there
will be wearing patched trousers TO-
morrow" Then the man from the
first car Joined. You fellows are off,
The fire was in our car They looked
back along Huntoon street, and about
a block in the rear was smolderlng
wayside fire that drifted its smoke into
the cars that passed. All the evening
the conductors on the cars that Went
that way had the moving picture ex-
hibit of men and women diligently
searching themselves for a hidden con-
flagration.
