One day last summer, when Old Sol was raising blisters on sidewalks and tender feet a rotund lady of Impossible age and' resolute visage, Was hastening to. one of these stations. All too soon she heard the rumble of an approaching car, and broke Into a run. The roar came closer and closer, and she -atlll had two or three blocks to cover. In another minute the car would pass her, o, without taking time to look back, she clutched her sTtirts at a chorus girl angle, and landed on the track a few feet In front of the oar. She then trudged ahead with haughty dlgnlt. , while the helplesa motorman dragged his car slowly along behind. At. last, the station wa reached, and for the first time during the race the woman turned about, breathless but triumph ant and faced the sprinkling carl - Ona Portland Heights car the other nlghtv a crowd of fashionable first nighters was bound for the Helllg.

Then two eager hands thrust two dimes at the conductor, who had now reached the la.-t verse of his hopeful little ditty.

Bit terly disappointed, they were again compelled to open up their baby suit cases, locate the coin purses, open the same and deposit therein their respec tive nickels, then close the coin purse and lastly the baby suitcases.
