That Four ShiIlings.

Many years ago Hank Miller was the
omnibus king of New York. That was
before street cars were known. And
Hanks buses were going on all the
principal lines. He was good ma
tured man, quiet and full Of fun. The
drivers of the buses were cashiers,
too-received the passengers money,
made change, and at night handed
over the days receipts. One evening
Hank was inspecting the stalls of one
of the stables when Johnny Derrick,
a well known driver, came in and
without noticing Hank emptied his
pocket in the next stall and com
menced to make up his account.
That's 4 shillin' for Hank and 4
for me- said he, laying them in two
different piles, There's 4 shillin' for
Hank and 4 for me !" And thus he
continued until the money was divid-
ed into two different piles, with an
odd half dollar in Johnny's hand.
How is this?" said Johnny. "Who
does this belong to? Well, we'll toss
up; heads for me and tails for Hank,
and up he tipped it.
Tails he exclaimed. "Ah, bu
that wasn't fair. Well try it again. "
And up it went once more.
Heads" l thought it was mine y
And with a satisfied air he pocketed
his share and started for the Office to
make his returns. Hank took short
cut, and when Johnny entered he was
behind the counter, ready to receive
the money.
"Good evening" said Johnny, touch
ing his hat to Hank, as he laid the
money on the counter.
That's all right, Johnny" said
Hank quietly. 1--WE don't need your
services any more.
"Eh, how's that? What's the mat
ter, Mr.. Miller?" exclaimed the as
tonished John.
"Well, I don't think you treated me
exactly fair" Hank dryly replied.
"You ought to have given me another
chance for that shillin -
