Between Two Force.

A man who got on a Myrtle ave., surface car in Brooklyn at Fulton ferry the other day had gone only two squares when he got up and talea the conductor to stop, says Quad in the New York Evening Id. The oar stopped, but he resumed his seat and the conductor rang the bell to go ahead. In about five minutes the performance was repeated, and then it was seen that the passenger was in that condition known as sprung. When he stood up for the third time the conductor asked: “Is this where you want to get off?” “Yesh.” “All right, then.” “No, I guesh I won’t git off,” said the man as he reseated himself. Two squares further on he stood up and signaled for the fourth time. “See here!” said the conductor as he went forward, “what kind of a game are you playing?” “Noz any game,” thickly replied the man. “Do you want to get off?” “Yesh.” ~‘ - “Well, here you go.” “No. I guesh I won’t git off!” ‘ ‘What’s the matter with you, anyhow?” “Shee here!” whispered the man in confidence and trying to hug the conductor at the same time. “When I think of home I git up an’ stop 'ei car. Then when I think of my wist I waive my hand for car to go on again! You shee? Plain as day. J waive—car go on. Let 'er go!” The conductor carried him to th< city line and left him lying in th< shade. - ; -•
