YOUNGSTER GIVEN HIS KISS Conductor Obligingly Holds Train Not Due to Start Until Mother Caresses Her Youngest. She wasrutffilng across lots to catch the 1:62 train for New York. It was precisely 1:52%, and the train already was panting into the station. At her heels was a youngster making as good time as he could, and he was crying. By the time she reached the station Bteps she was a good hundred yards ahead of the little boy, but he kept at, crying louder and louder. The conductor was holding the train for her. “Madam,” said the conductor as she climbed up the car steps, “who is that little boy?” “My youngest," she said, perfectly breathless. “What’s he crying for?" “I didn’t have time to kiss him goodby.” “Well, you get right off this train and kiss. We can wait better than he can.” The conductor stood with his hand on the signal cord while the operation was performed, and then the train went off, leaving the youngßter happy and smiling.
