bars." explained Zsrelda. "Bead it

imposture you've been a harboriu under
your roof."
Aud thus nc'jured, Miss ltebecca
opened the note nnd read in a bund
writing she knew to be Laura's tbo toys
terious words:
"Dean JERitr You said you wnn!d
come to me whenever I wrote for vo:

Thora it stopped, without any signa

was Lura's name, plaiulr writtcu.
Mias ltebecca sank pale and limb into
the friendly arms of n rocking-chair.
'What what will Hull say? And what
kin sho want of tho Indian ladder, do
s'pose?"
"There's no telling'I Mebbe she's a
goin' lo 'lope out o' the winder; or els
she's a-goiu' lo let some one in to rob tbo

declared Zerelda.
"An' I trusted her and liked ber so

"Appearances is mighty deceit'ul,'"
sighed Zerelia. "For my part, I alius
thought there was somethiu' suspicious

"And what. Miss' Zerelda what have

demanded Basil Uellllower, striding
angrily into tho room.
Zsrelda gave a little scream but tpilck
ly recovered aud put tho letter into bi
hands. "Hea l that, and see what you
think then!' she retorted.
And with au Incredulous smiloou his
handsome face Basil read.
"You stay here, ltebecca," he added.
"I will find out what this uiewus. But,

"Oh, yes, I droppod it, I suppose, but

"Yes," said Iho driver to the St. Louis
Critio man, as the latter threw away a
partly consumed imported cigar, "it's a
shame that there ain't no ulaco for a
man smoko on the street cars. Bat I'll
tell you, my friend. Ibis is tho worst
street-car town in tho country. Why,
sir, the people in other towns wouldn't
stand what they do here."
"tvhat do you menu?"
"Well, I tell you, Iu tho first place,
this is an awful hot town iu summer.aud
open street cars could be run here moro
than eight tuoulhs out of the twelve.'"
"Yes?"
"Well, sir, tho strett-'car companies
hero uinke the peoplo rido in box-cars
when thej'ru hot as bake-oveu,nnd therj
isn't a street-car lino hero that's got open
cars enough to carry nil their passen
gers." "Yet?"
"The peoplo iu other towns wouldn't
stand it to ride in thi box-cars. Thoj'd
pilu them in a heap aud set fire to 'cm
flist."
"Well, what else?''
"Well, bir, this is the only largo city
iu the country that stnnds the bobtails,"
"Yes, I know that, but what else?''
This is the only city iu tho cuuntry
where the horsc-car companies run
mules."
, "I kuow that; anything else?"
"This is the only city iu the country
where the people are asked to ride on
hard board seats, as they do on tho 5th
street line."
'Yes; do you remember anything
else?"
"Yes, sir. This is the only city in the
enquiry w hero the drivers nnd conductors
fjwenr rugged clothes and dirty shirts."
"Why is this?"
"Bfcause they are not pnid enough to
keep them in good or clean clothes."
"How much are they paid?"
"A driver can make about Sll a week
and a conductor Sl'2.50, if they work
from sixteen to eighteen hours a day.
When a man pays for rent and food out
of this lie can't buy uuy clothes, particu
larly if ho has a family."
"And that is why nil tne driyers nnd
conductors tn St. Louis look liko tramps,
is ii?"
"That's it exactly. And Hint's why
street railroad stock is so hi,;h."
"Why ilou't the men kick?"
"When thev do the newspapers and
the public say they are never satisfied."
"Well, what are yon going to do about
it?
"We ain't going lo do nothing
can't."
"Are yon going to work eighteen hours
a day for $11 a week all yonr lift?"
"No, sir; uot while I've got any spirit
in me."
"What will yon do then?"
"As soon ns the winter sets in a good
many of us will take to robbing."
