Show A Pretty Action. A newsboy took the Sixth avenue elevated ele-vated at Park place at noon yesterday, and sliding into one of the cross seats fell asleep. At Grand street two young women wo-men got on and took the seats opposite the lad. His feet were bare and Ids hat had fallen off. Presently tho younger girl leaned over and placed her mull under the little fellow's dirty cheek. An old gentleman in the next seat smiled at the act and without saying any tldng held out a quarter, with a nod toward tho boy. The girl hesitated a moment and then reached for it. The uext man just as silently offeredadlme, a woman across the aisle htld out Borne pennies, and before be-fore she knew it the girl, with flaming cheeks, had taken money from every passenger in that end of the car. She quietly slid the amount into tho sleeping lad's pocket, removed her muff gently from under his head without rousing him and got off at Twenty-third street, including all the passengers tn a pretty little inclination of tho head that seemed full of thanks and the possession of a 1 common secret. Now York World. |
