perspiring elderly man, carrying excess
~avoirdupois, who had left the car at
Wild wood avenue, doomed up in the

car, | have lost my pocket book"

the pocket of its owner who was pro
fuse in his thanks to the conductor for
his trouble and honesty. These incl
dents are not exceptions, as the writer

not always show its appreciation OF
