from his perch, seats himself in the
chair and demands shine. Tony al
ways responds with great alacrity, but
never gets any pay. Still he seems sat
isfied.
How is it you shine his shoes for
nothing?" asked another customer one
evening, as the Jehu climbed up to his
seat and drove off.
Oats Jeem," replied Tony, smiling
until his white teeth fairly cleaned.
'Jeem is-a ma frien'."

him shine every night, don't you?

Tony. Hes good-a fell He say to
