CONDUCTOR
NO. 11
They All Took ? Lesson In
Common Sense
By CLARISSA MACKIE
Helea Rlalr simniol tbe suburban
car and boarded It at tbe corner She
was tired after a long (lay of abnpplng
and walked up tbe aisle to tbe front
?eat, w hlch proved to be empty. At tbe
next atop three people got on. who com
pletely (tiled the abort cross sot in
front of her.
"Fares, please!"
Helen's heart leaped as she heard
the conductor's voice, ami she felt a
vague sense of irritation because a
mere trolley car conductor ahould pos
sess a voice eiactly lilt* Ralph Falr
lee's deep tonea. She turned her head
and stole a glance at the approaching
conductor. Her heart leaped again
when she discovered that the back of
his shapely dark head was exactly like
that of Ralph's and that the awing of
his broad shoulders as he turned might
have belonged to Ralph.
Her head turned face about, and she
compressed her llpa. "What a? a both
er!" she murmured to herself.
It was more than a "bolher" to be
reminded of Ralph Kalrlee at that mo
ment. It was poaltive pain to the girl
who had been engaged to Ralph for
three happy months. Of course the
engagement waa a thing of the past
or It would not have caused Helen
Rlalr any pain to be reminded of Ita
previous existence.
At last the conductor came to the
front of the car once more, act back
the indicator and began to collect fares
for the second stage of the trip.
"Fare, please!" he boomed tn front
of Helen, and again her heart leaped
as she (Ished out a nickel and gave it
to him.
Then under the brim of her droop
ing velvet hnt she permitted her face
to relax Ita cold hauteur, while she fell
to dreaming about Ralph Kalrlee. who
had taken their qnnrtvl seriously and
left the city to seek work elsewhere.
Ralph'a father was a rich man, and
old Mr. Fatrlee hart queer Ideas about
rich men's sons. He believed that
these same sons should demonstrate
their ability to earn money and prove
themselvea capable of taking care of
money already earned. Ralph had
different Ideas and wanted to begin at
the top of the ladder, ne had qnar
reled with hla father on this point
Ha had quarreled with Helen on an
other matter and. estranged from
both, must be very lonely now. Hel
en'a heart was breaking for love and
pity of him.
Clans, clan p. clang? rush, clatter. !
clans! Starting and stopping. whltxInK
and curving and rocking. the "car of
destiny" went on its way Into the open
country.
"Fares, plmie." said the conductor
a a he stood before her once more with
hand stretched out.
Helen fumbled In the gold meshed
bag and Impatiently emptied lta con
tents tnto her lap In search of a coin.
She was positive that she had plenty
of change left. There was a crumpled
lac* handkerchief with an elusive fra
srance of vtoleta about It; there was an
Inner golden meshed purse that was
quite empty, a couple of matinee tick
ets, a vial of smelling salts, a penciled
memorandum, but there was not a coin
to be found!
"Oh, dear!" Reten wns embarrassed
as her eyes sought the stern face of the
young conductor. "I'm sorry, but"?
She bad to stop then, for that unruly
heart of hen was beating faster than
any triphammer could hope to rival.
The stern face of the conductor was
set like a white mask as be turned
away.
"Fares, please," be was saying to the
woman who sat behind her.
Frantically Helen searched her gold
en bag. but In Vain. She was quite
penniless and still ten miles from her
station. She bit her tip angrily, be
cause she must explain these matters
to a conductor who bad the effrontery
to have a voice identical with that of
Ralph Falrlee and to have a face so
much like Ralph's that she bad nearly
swooned away when she looked at him.
Rnt of course it was not Ralph Falrlee.
Ralph would have spoken to her at
once? gladly, she knew that And, be
sides, Ralph Falrlee was as brown as a
berry, and this conductor, a very com
mon person, no doubt, was quite pale.
How presumptuous for a trolley car
conductor to speak, look and act Just
like Ralph Falrlee!
But bow very humillatins to be un
der obligations to this man. a perfect
stranger! Again she searched through
her bag and shook out her handker
chief. This time there was a clink as
a coin flew to the floor.
Helen stooped to pick it up just as
the conductor came to her aid. To
gether they bent over, and together
they searched for the lost coin. Hel
en's big hat brushed the conductor's
cap from his head, and there was added
embarrassment At last the man aroae
with something between his Angers and
held it out
"You lost this?" he Inquired coldly.
"Yes," said Helen, reddening. "Real
ly, I thought it was more. I must
hare lost my change and"?
The conductor thrust the shining
penny In his vest pocket and rang up
a fare.
"Please give me your number, " said
Helen eagerly.
"No. ft." he Mid gravely. ?nd wlA
? lift of his cap be went back to hla
station on the rear platform
Clang. clang, clatter. went the car,
While Helen a agitated thought* kept
company to the beating of her heart
and the throbbing of the voter
An elderly gentleman alttlng oppo
alte to Helen peered at her over hla gold
spectacle*. She noticed that be look
ed keenly aftiw the young conduct*
who had ?o stoically rung up her fare
after receiving from ber hands 'he
meager penny that she could And. She
wondered If the old gentleman would
be apt to report the conductor for
negligence In not patting her off the
car.
The Idea of being under obligations
to the conductor, who looked so much
like Ralph Falrlee. be<*ame so repug
nant that Helen Anally arose and walk
ed down the rapidly moving car toward
the rear. She waa determined to alight
then and there and walk the remain
ing distance, whatever It might be, to
her home: also she would take the con
ductor's number and send him 4 centa
the next day.
Her Blender form swayed down the
atsle, while close behind her staggered
the white bearded old gentleman who
had watched her so keenly. The con
doctor was leaning Hgalnst the door,
gating Idly at the dark sha<lows of the
flitting scenery. He did not see Helen
or the old gentleman so close behind
her until the car lurched over some lit
tle obstruction and came to a aland
?till.
The violent jerk sent Helen forward
straight Into the arms of conductor No.
77. who also braced himself to receive
the form of the old gentleman. Then
the car Jerked again, and the three fell
In an Ignonilnloua heap on the floor of
the car, while the motorman rang his
gong frantically for some answering
signal from thrt conductor.
"Hello, hello!" sputtered the old gen
tteman wrathl*nlly. as. being on top.
he was first to extricate himself from
the heap. "This comes of meddling In
a business yon don't understand In the
least, young man. I hope the young
lady Isn't hurt "
Helen moan<?d faintly as conductor
No. 77 lifted her to a seat.
"It's her ankle." announced the con
ductor as the contact of her foot with
the floor brought forth another cry of
pain.
The motormnn jerked open I he front j
door ami glared Into the car
"See here. Smith." he anarled. "what

We're fonr minutes late ss It Is."
"Ton will wait here fonr honra If I
necessary." snapped the old gentleman, ,
breaking Into the conversation before
the conductor could frame a reply to
the motorman's remarks. As a mattw
of fact, the condoctor was gating down
at Helen's face, which waa whiter than
ever now through the heavy meshes of
her Shetland veil. She was leaning
back against tlie scat with cloned eyes
The conductor stood watching ber with
grimy clinched fists on his hips. Nei
ther girl nor conductor appeared to hear
the conversation between the motor
man and the aegresslve old man
"Yon will wait here four hours If
necessary," the old gentleman had
snapped.
"Will, eh? By whose orders?" Tke

ment down the alale.
"By the order* of the president of
the company!" yelped the old gentle
man, flashing a card before the bewil
dered eyes of I he motorman.
"By gosb! You don't say? of course

Trade At Home
IT is a hard thing to convince some people, who have acquired the
mail order habit that it ia to their advantage to trade at home. The
green field* far away appeal to them. ao they aend their money out of
town for something that ia no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money ia thua gone where they, nor any one
of the community, will ever aee it again, and where it can do nobody
good but the peraon who haa it and he ia hundreda or thouaanda of
milea away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offendera who are blind to the interesta of the commu
nity. The Tnerchantf are juat aa bad. Many of them aend away for
their printing, while at the aame time argue againa?mail order buatneaa.
