Remnrknlilo Uenrrosltjr Toward n Toor Woman Touching Incident. Two richly dressed women boarded Fourth avenuo car tho other evening Just nt dusk. Ono was young and nlmost linndsomo, tho other mldillo nged. Thoy paid their faro out of woll filled purses. At Fourteenth street another woman entered. Bho was pinched, worn nnd pale, and her dress was shabby and faded. Bho carried a largo bun dlo of laundry and n baby, whllo n llttlo girl, scarcely nblo to toddlo, clung to her dress. Bho sank into her scat with n sigh of relief nnd put tho bundle down on tho floor nt her feet, then shifted tho sleeping Infant to her other shoulder nnd holped tho toddler up on tho sent liesldo her. Every movement bo tokened weariness, nnd her wnn fnco told plainly of suffering nnd sorrow. When tho conductor approached for her faro the poor woman liegati a nervous search for her money. Bho felt down In tho pocket of her worn gown, nnd ns cho groped within Its re cesses n look of consternation crossed her face. Presently sho looked up in tho conduc tor's fnco nnd said i "I can't find my monoy. I had ten cents in my pocket, but I must havo lost it." "Try ngnln, misses," said tho conductor, not unkindly, for oven ho seemed to bo touched by her nppnrcnt distress. Again sho tried to llnd tho missing coin, oven turning tho pocket inside out. Hut thero was nothing thcro. "No, It's gouo," sho gnRjied, as sho glanced npiienllugly nt tho man licforo her, her His trembling mcanwhllo nud n suspi cion of moisture glistening In her eye. Tho conductor hesitated for n moment, then hard ening his volco, jaldi "I'm vcrry sorry, madam, but you can't rldo without paying faro." "Oh, I know it, sir; but I'vo so fnr to go. Can't I iay you when I como back! I shall havo somo monoy then." And sho looked down at her bundlo ns if thnt would confirm her statement. Hut tho conductor was proof against tho appeal, though to his credit bo It said, ho wns not harsh. "No, that's ngnlust tho rulos. You'll havo to get off," ho ro pllod, as ho reached up for tho bell cord. Tho other two women had watched tho sccno with npircnt interest, nnd nt this Juncturo tho younger ono sprang from her scat toward tho conductor and uttered an imperious "No!" Beforo any ono could divine her intention sho had opened her imrso and emptied its contents into tho poor woman's lap $-1 or $5 nt tho lenst rattled down in a llttlo shower of coin, whllo two or three pieces rolled off on tho floor. Tho next in stant tho generous young woman wns out of tho cnr. Ilcr companion followed after dropping Eovcral mora pieces of silver Into tho ioor woman's lap. Tho nstonlshcd re cipient of tho liouuty seemed unable to speak. Bho impulsively covered her treasure with ono hand and burying her faeo ngnlnst tho sleeping infant sho sobbed until even tho con ductor's heart was touched.
