THE CAB DRIVER A DEAD SPORT
He Makes a Lady His Vehicle Gamble
for the Fare.

Some time ago a cab driver was ar
raigned before the police court on
very curious charge, says Petit Jour
nal. The complainant. a lady whom
he had driven home from party.
made the following extraordinary
statement:
we were in the middle of the
Champ de Mars when the cab stopped
and the driver got down. l thought
an accident had happened to the
vehicle or to the horse and little
dreamed of the surprise in store for
me. The door was opened and the
cabman appeared, holding one OF the
carriage lamps in his hand.
Madame he began, i hope you
will excuse me- l CHANGED to hear
that you were playing cards this even
ing. l have a weakness in that dlrec-
| ton myself and always carry a pack
| in nv pocket; see herer So saying he
| drew forth greasy pack from under
| his great coat, jumped in the cab, sat
down opposite to me. and began to
| shuttle the cards. saying: A game OF
| bezique. qui ferar whereupon he
| held out the cards to let me draw for
| the deal.
| Il was so astounded Icould not utter
| a word and began to shudder at the
thought that this man, who thus forced
| his company upon me, must be either
| drunk or mad.
| You have been pretty well o&sared
| out already he continued. good
naturally; we will therefore not play
high. but simply for the fare
What was to do in the Champ de
Mars in the middle of the night? There
| was no policeman, not q single passer-
by to appeal to for protection. l had
to yield to the inevitable. We played
and / won.
"'All right exclaimed the driver; !
have lost and must drive you home for
nothing
He got out, closed the door, re-
placed the lamp, climbed on the box,
and drove on When alone l could not
help laughing at the situation-un-
paralleled in the whole range of my
experience. On arriving at my house
got out and prepared to pay the
driver as. of course. l never intended
to accept the terms he proposed But
the man stoutly refused, saying that
owed him nothing. and regarded my
offer as an insult. The very idea
seemed to arouse his ire and he at las
became extremely rude, when police
man luckily hove in sight, whom L IN
formed of what had occurred"
- Cabby was sentenced TO forty-elgh
7 hours "seclusion."
