CUT RATE FOR AN AMERICAN
Judge Donneliy's Amusing Experience
With the Sharp irish Cab
Driver In Dublin.

Chief Justice Joseph G. Donnelly of
the civil court, in illustrating an Irish
mans idea of wit, told a story OF an
adventure with an Irish hack driver In
Dublin, relates the Milwaukee Wiscon-
sin.
Il asked him how much he would
take to drive me to Hotel -" he
said. The driver looked at me and
said: You are from the states, aren't
you? | answered yes.
Well he said, since you are from
the states, and I've driven nothing but
Englishmen all day, I'll drive you to
the hotel for three s~hillings.'
AS ! thought that was reasonable.
| got into the hack. We drove on and
for hours, over hills and across
streams, until We finally got to the
hotel. While driving. I wondered at
the difference between this hack
driver and those in America, and won.

would say II I were to hand him three
Shillings for such a long ride.

heart would break.
In the darkness above him someone
cried aloud, a startled cry, and then
the door was thrust to with a clang
and rattle Of bolts. A match rasped
loudly and a flicker Of light leaped
from n small hand lamp and revealed
to Its bearer the tagged and Quiyering
aEuro on the floor.
Some one sat down beside him with
q low exclamation Of solIcItude and
gathered his head into her lap. Some
once quite simply embodied his neck
with soft arms and pressed his head
to her bosom. and as If that we're not
enough, kissed him full and long upon
bis lips.
MY dear! My dear!" she muruured
In French. What has happened, 0,

Now the integral madness Of all this
was as effectual IN restoring O'Rourke
TO partial consciousness as had been
a douche Of cold water IN his face.
Blankly he told himself that he was
damned, and that it was all a dream.
And yet, when he looked, It was to
