ticket you can travel all the world over
with
The coach soon stopped at tavern to
change horses and the passengers a
chance 10 dine. The Jew watched Jack
to see if his had really had the magical
effect which he was becoming believer
in. Jack called for liquor on entering
the tavern which he tossed of, and after
smacking his lips, Perceiving that the
bar.keeper recognized his colors, said
nothing. After dinner, the driver blew
the horn, and the passengers hurried to
get into the stage.

Jack, taking off his hat and giving i. a
turn on his stick, at the same time winG.

Jew.
'0n re.entering The stage, the Jew
asked him what he would take for lis
hat and stick. Why said Jack, q
wouldn't part with them. l got this hat
and stick at Shanghai, from Chinese
princess, who gave them to me for sa-
wing her child, who fell out of a boat,
from a shark, and she told me | never
should want anything as long as l kept
them, and bless her little top lights if it
hasen't proved true
They were near the end of their jour

its contents to Jack. Come said the
Jew, holding up the money temptingly

got money enough to buy this hat anc

"Hcre's the money said the Jew
persevcringly, again showing his banl
notes, name your price

the next town. and l know you won
give me whatI' ask
'How much asked the Jew eagerly
why, was reckoning that as wa
going back to the East Indies shortly
and could get another, I'd take two hun

Jack took off his old tarpaulin and hand
ed it over with the stick.
Here said he, 'take my hat an
give us your bank notes. The Jew re
ceived them eagerly, and gave Jack hi
cap in the bargain.
AT the next stopping place Jack &c
out and bid the Jew goodbye, who con
tinued on his way. AS the stage drov
