In any case if anyone came running out to stop the trolley George would always put the brakes on quick and stop. And at the end of the line, way out in the country, where the boys all went bathing in summer, he made a point of waiting two or three had minutes after the conductor clanged tiie bell. As there is always some poor devil late in this world George didn't like to leave him behind. "Come on, hurry!" we used to say to one another; if It's George, theres still time. And, indeed, often before starting, George would get down in the road himself and take a last look. Naturally everyone knew him. His platform was always crowded. And you stood there behind him, friends all together, because you were each his friend, and talked and laughed, and George occasionally breaking in himself with some new gossip of tiie road and a merry word for every newcomer. Hello, old son! hop on! How's the boy? Yes, its hot at least so 1 hear. And tbe kids? Say, bow many you got now? Well, whats that old girl ahead going to do? Does she want to get on or not? Doesnt seem to know her own mind. Guess I'd belter stop, though." As for aged people and invalids, as likely as not George would step down first from tiie platform and help them off. But it was with tiie boys on tiie afternoon trips back from the lake that lie was at ills gayest. ' For them there was always room for one more on the platform, and sometimes he would even allow the nearest to clang tiie bell with his foot a solemn privileged oflii'e. However, one day tiie accident occurred nt last. And it was just on one of those very trips back from the lake with a ruft of boys on board. They were a little late as usual and the old car was rocking and buzzing along, when like a whirlwind out of a cross street came a swell auto, and though its chauffeur instinctively tried to veer round, up tiie road, over the tracks, bang, bumped the trolley into its side amidst dust and cries and the splinter of glass. Yes, I guess It was my fault, acknowledged George guilelessly, standing in the road in the middle of his friends and the occupants of tiie car. I was speeding her up a bit and I ought to have rung. I thought the boy there was going to do it. As they moved on into town George half hoped the incident might end there. But a few days later he was called up by tiie superintendent. The owner of the car had claimed damages for some hundred dollars. Now, Thompson, between ourselves, exactly how did tiie accident happen? Well, sir, believe me, we were just coming through the woods there at tiie foot of the hill and as we were a little late and I was putting on more power to take the hill, all of a sudden Late!
