[ was tnsulted by a street car conductor, grossly in- sulted, and there wasn’t a man on that car with the instinct of a gentleman or the spirit of a mouse to thrash the ruffian as he deserved! “What could I do, Mr. Nagg! I am only a defense- less woman? nd yet because I said a few words, just a few words, in a ladylike manner, telling that con- ductor what 1 thought of him, a dirty ruffian, all iressed up like a cheap dandy, one of the conductor's zang—don’t tell me they haven’t gangs—shouted ‘Shut ap!" “T want you to sit right down and complain to Hoon” the company, although I suppose if you do that boor of a conductor will be promoted and have his salary raised! That's what they do with them. So what’s the use to complain? But never call your- self a man, Mr. Nagg, if you do not assault that conductor the first time uu meet him. He had on a blue uniform, worn threadbare, and his trousers ere not pressed, and his cap and overcoat were vary dusty and his shoes ere not polished. He was about the average height and seemed to be ntimately acquainted with the motorman. No, I don’t know how he jooked! I do not notice conductors, thank you! * «what car was {t? How do I know what cur {t was? I was 60 upset I never thought of looking at its number! But it was a large yellow car, and {t bumped into a truck, and the motorman swore in the most horrible manner at the truckman and the truckman swore back at him till I had to put my hands over my ears! “I know that both the motorman and the truck driver were married men, because nu single man has had the practice in swearing that they seemed to have. “Did I take tho conductor's number, you ask? What use would there have been in doing that? He would have traded numbers with some other conductor or maybe with a milkman, because I notice a lot of milkmen are wearing blue uniforms and have numbers on their caps; and cabs have numbers on them, and policemen have numbers on their hats, and so have Postmen, and so have firemen, and I know they are all impudent, and they } all wear numbers on their hats and act I'ke ruffians, and then run and borrow somebody else's numbers, and nobody can find them out in their » disguises! r “Anyway, I never can remember numbers unless I write them down, and when 1 do wrile them down you get me so nervous when you come home and start to quarrel that I forget what the numbers are; whether it is the address of a friend or some one’s teleshone or how many yards of carpet I need for th: parlor, and 1 get so worked up trying to think whai the numbers do an that I just have to sit down and have a gond cry! “If I get insulted by a ruffian of a conductor who won't ¢§ve ime a nsfer because I have changed my mind anc want to cross Twenty-third eet instead of Thirty-fourth and ask ,hiu for @ transfer ac Thirtiet) t so I can get off and walk back and-look in the shop windows on the y for bargains, do I liive to be further punished by keeping a sum in thematics in my head und then write them down correctly in a book? “Yes, I do remember his number now! It was seven hundred and something—no, that’s Mrs. Gradley's new address on Seventh avenue! | Well, anyway, his number had a three in it. Yes, I am sure it was a three; | maybe it was a 6:x turned upside down; I am sure I forget—but am IL ex- pected to be a detective? ‘What line was it on? I think it was Sixth avenue—no, it was a Broadway car; but I am not sure, because I was so confused!" No, I do not remember what time it was! What difference does it make what time | it was? A conductor can be just as rude in the morning as late at nieht. I only know that he refused to give me a transfer at Thirtieth street when I wanted to walk back (o Twenty-third. . | “The street railroads are just encouraging their conductors to rob pas- !
