A young man. also we'll dressed,

her.

She looked up, smiled sweetly and
said nothing.

asked.
She looked at him wonderinglv and

THE CAB DRIVER A DEAD SPORT


Some time ago cab driver was ar.

he had driven home from q party,
made the following extraordinary
statement:
I'VE were in the middle OF the
Champ de Mars when the cab stopped
and the driver got down. 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.

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 fera" whereupon he
held out the cards to let me draw for
the DEAL
II was so astounded Icould not utter
q word and began to shudder at the
thought that this man. who thus forced
his company upon me, must be either
drunk or mad.
