man. stopped off at the Falls between
trains. A hackman engaged them for
a brief tour of sightseeing. The time
actually consumed was ffty.five min
utes. The hackman said he must
have SO. The gentleman remarked
that it was an outrage. The driver
explained that he had been of great

man prepared to pay under protest.

man, in astonishment. "Of course

replied the hackman. " My charge of
$40 is for one person; $40 for two per-
sons. The amount you have handed
me is exactly correct. Thank you.
