If he could find it, he said, we would die rich, so he set out hunt ing. As far as Is recorded that man never discovered such a place, but should he happen to descend into something like a hole at the corner of Peachtree and Marietta streets—the office of the street car starter—he would find many, many lost umbrellas—perhaps one of yours.

One conductor found something which could not very well bo marked and could not be put away In the hole. It was a baby, whoss mother had jumped off the car and left it. The starter turned nurse and amused the baby until the mother, nearly frantic, came headlong down the ateep flight of steps. "Women will leave anything on the cars that’s not tied to them,” sold Starter Leech. "Just look here"—and he pulled open the door of the cuddy hole, revealing an assortment of things that any department store would be proud to carry.
