The conductor was mad because he was compelied to stop long enough for the boy to load on a crate of pigeons that he had sold to a game dealer on Woodward avenue, between Elizabeth and Columbia streets. He gave the belicord a vicious jerk finally. The car shot forward seeming- ly at the rate of a mile a minute te make up the time lost in taking the boy and his crate aboard. It was a drizzly morning, and the steps of all the cars were as slippery as ice, particularly those long sideboards of the suburbans. At Columbia street the boy gave the signal to the conductor, ‘and he jerked the bell rope again. The car slackened speed. Stooping, the boy picked up his crate of frightened pigeons. Thinking the speed had lessened sufficiently for him to alight in safety, he stepped down, baianced himself an instant— << an ! ! ! ! xs ee It was all on account of the rain. He yelled as his feet flew out from under him. Still clutching his wabbly lath crate, he turned a back somersault in the air and came down flat upon it. The car had stopped at Elizabeth street. The smokers on the back plat- form heard the crate crack and saw it give way beneath the weight of the boy. And out from under him, before he could rise even, rose 24 doves and winged their flight into the higher air. The car resumed its run. There in the middie of the street stood the boy. He held the broken crate in one hand, ané he stared woefully up into the clouds, where soared his pigeons.
