 Pat leaned back again, beset with gloomy thoughts of the future, taking farewell glance at his dearly be- loved New York that was treating him so badly.
 The young mans voice. raised in dispute with the starter, brought him back to the present.
 "No, no," he was saying. q don't want any of your old taxis. They're too damned quick and cheerful. A hearse would be just about suited to me, but I don't suppose you have one on tap. Worse luck. Hey! that ham som cab! That driver looks almost as gloomy as anything around. He'll do." And like an angry whirlwind the young gentleman entered the han som, calling to Pat.
 "Drive me to hell, Sunny Jim."
 'All roight, sor," says Pat. But without intrudin', sor, which one is 1t you're meanin'?"
 "Oh, any place-East End avenue and Eghty-sixth street-that'll do," snapped the young gentleman, banging the little half doors together.
 "We're off" says Pat and they joined the upward stream.
 "Shure, it's terrible way he's in," he unused. "I wonder what's ailin' him now"
 He looked back over his shoulder at the hotel to see if an answer to the young mans desperate mood could be found there And on the steps looking after the retreating cab, was one of the prettiest ladies Pat had ever seen in all his days of close association With the very best New York had to offer. She was speaking hurriedly to the starter, and they both looked after the hanson. Then the starters sharp whistle reached Pats car, taxi dashed up and, the lady entered it. "That's the answer, shure enough" said Pat to himself, and he chuckled for the first time in many long day. The taxi, with the lady in 1t, rushed by them. Out of the little window in the back Pat saw her looking intently

And amid it all. stationary, shadow of the past, stood hansom cab, its old dr.ver perched' atop, his ancient high hat over his eyes, his reins lying slack and listlcss over his patient horses back.
 For twenty years Pat had stood in that same place. The time had been when it was he who had dashed up to collect his fare and had trotted off merrily to join the gay procession of shiny, black cabs going to many gay rendezvous farther uptown. For a while it had seemed to Pat that the whole fashionable world was waiting for him and his sleek brown horse to whir it away. But he was living to see his world ficlSle thing at best and his golden place in it usurped by dago taxi drivers and their villainous, reeking cars.
 The starter, with minute or two to spare, reused Pat from his dreary revery with:
 "Well. Pat. no Business this after nov-eh?"

 The pursuit of learning is not al- ways an easy matter, as a young stu dent found who set forth from Bris- bane to study at Edinburgh, for when he reached the port of Falmouth he found that, owing to having taken POO days on the journey at sea, the term was over. Contrary winds and other c0ntretemps accounted for the delay, during which the crew had to set about finding means of turning some of the corn they were carrying as cargo into bread. They found an old berry -mill-but the story is too long to tell.

The soloist was an egotist and the rest of the choir hated him cordially. And when it gave a recent concert they were provoked when he got the very best parts.
