ing in from all ends of this great city.
At last the train lands at Forty-second
street. On the steps she meets Essil
the swift one from her shop. A look
OF SNUG contentment shines on her
race, for is she not lucky to have the
opportunity of sewing hats? Is she
not the swiftest girl in the place?
To Essil the employer was a god who
delgned to give his lower beings a
chance to serve him.
But to Anna. life had once meant
more than threading endless needles
to sew hats that she can never dream
OF wearing. At times she felt like
shouting to the forelady: "Give me
anything-shoes, coats, anything but
hats-hats!" but the words always
died in her throat.
Who was she to rebel?-a little ant
in this bic. world, What right had
she TO romance and adventure Those
things which every young person
eraves-she. just slave in a capi-
talist grinding machine-a little nee.
essary but unimportant cog in the
wheel.
And she would once more return To

NEW TRANSFER
IS TIME SAVER
Street Railway Adopts I'm
proved Bus Method.

A new type Of transfer, designed
to avoid disputes as to time limits
and save time in the collection of
fares, has been adopted by the Indi-
annapolis Street Railway and will,
shortly, be used on the busses.
The time limit Of the new trans
fers is indicated by their length, and
the length is automatically obtained
ut the moment of issuance. Spaces
Indicate each fifteen minutes of the
day. When the transfers are re-
moved from the pads in which they
are bound, they are so cut as to in
aicate the time of day they are is
sued
Lines to which the transfers are
issued are indicated by directions in
stead Of by specific names and the
source of the transfer is previously
printed thereon.
BY the adoption Of this transfer
The company reduces the number Of
punch marks required from five to
three and makes it possible for the
bus operator to issue transfers with
out making more than one punch
mark at the moment of issuance. In
this manner considerable time may
be saved in the operation of feeder
busses from which transfers are is

academy the surprise of the staff of

they caught sea monster in a deep
drag and from the stomach Of the
fish brought two partly digested sea-
gulls. The fish, classified in French
as "baudroie," Is also known as the
