FRANKLIN ACADEMY HIGH SCHOOL ANNUAL 27 The Lost Railroad Ticket One day a very Heshy country lady came up the long, narrow platform in Newburgh. She carried two extraordinarily large suit cases. Taking these to the ticket window with her she bought a ticket for Paris, a medium-sized city about fifty miles from Newburgh. She then seated herself near the door. The train soon came. She went out to it and with much difiiculty and with the aid of two conductors and a hrakcman, managed to get into the car. She sank exhausted into the first empty seat, placing one suit case in the empty seat behind her and the other at her feet. The beauty of the country interested her greatly and as she had never been on a train before, she was wholly absorbed in her own pleasures. She failed to hear the conductor call Ticket, As she was thus engaged she felt a slight pressure on her arm. Paying no attention to this, she felt another touch. Turning, she saw the conductor. XVell, what do you want ? she demanded. Your ticket, please, he answered pleasantly. She thrust her hand into her pocket. After taking out several articles, she discovered that the ticket was not there. She searched through her other pocket, but in vain, the ticket was not there. At last she turned her face to the conductor and said, I can't find it, probably I dropped it when I was getting on. It won't matter, anyway, so long as I bought it. I can't let you ride unless you give me your ticket, madam, replied the conductor. 'Well, how under heavens do you think I can give it to you if I can't find it P she retorted, I am sorry madamf' said the conductor, but if you can't give me your ticket, you will have to pay me the money or get off the train.', I have paid my fare once. she answered, and once is enough. Do you mean that you are not going to pay for your ride ? said the con- ductor. We do not run a 'free lunch counter' nor intend to let any one ride without paying for it. 'W'ell, no one has asked for anything oi? your old 'free lunch counterf she-said. I have paid my fare once and that is enough. I With this the old lady turned her back to the conductor and gazed calmly out of the window. E N ow look here, madam ,can't you be reasonable? You can see very plainly that you cannot ride unless I know you have paid your fare, ' said the con- ductor. . l shan't pay any fare twice and that's Final, retorted the old woman. Then you will have to get off the train at the next station, the conductor said. ' 1'll not get off the train until I get where I want to go. You are nothing but an old robber, and if you don't keep still I shall report you to the superin-
