ten o'clock
To morrow we can try again . '' Luke 's cheerfulness had its effect on his mother , and the evening was passed socially . The next morning Luke went out to work at the usual time . He had all his papers sold out by half-past ten o'clock , and walked over to State Street , partly to fill up the time , arid partly in search of some stray job . He was standing in front of the Bee Hive , a well-known drygoods store on State Street , when his attention was called to an old lady , who , in attempting to cross the street , had imprudently placed herself just in the track of a rapidly advancing cable car . Becoming sensible of her danger , the old lady uttered a terrified cry , but was too panic-stricken to move . On came the car , with gong sounding out its alarm , and a cry of horror went up from the bystanders .
