But 1t does not always fall out in
this way.
On the last occasion on which he
practised this merry jest it was in a
railway carriage OF an excursion train.
Only one person claimed the half
crown which TimkIns professcd TO have
discovered, and this was thick-set

tenance.
He demanded the coin with such a
ferocity of tone that Timkins betrayed
some trepidation as he explained that
it was only joke.
''Ho, it's a joke, is it?" said the
thickset man, with an ominous ex-
preston of face. " e says it's a joke.
