Ererybodywho has" lived in London baa witnessed the dramatic little Inci dents connected with cabby's reception of hia exact Xure. His hirer, haying alighted, stands oa the pavement and feels for his pnree. Cabby meanwhile leans over the railing of bis seat with a benignant and ingratiating smile. That smile, it xoay be stated at once, is a fraud. It is not a genuine beam of good nature, bat is one of cabby'a basinee rirons. It Is a smile of much mean ing, and cabby throws hia whole aool Into it. It is trusting and confident. It insinuates that cabby feels that he has met in yon a man in whom bo recog nises a peculiarly generous nature. It means tlint cabby has no anxiety. Ho know that yon are going to give him something for himself. . Bnt as a matter of fact, if you. watch cabby closely, yon will see the hollow 's of its prof efion. Cabby s eyes an Tory wide open, and he is scanning a great deal more carefully than bis fare the little pile of silver that gentleman iei turning over in hia band. - Then he stretches down his hand, brond and fat. bnt trustingly, assured thnt he is abonl to be treated ns a man should be. The fat palm ascends again, bnt ns his fare turns to depart, the smilo dies away. Frr a moment, a if dazed, ho gaze blankly into bis band: then a look of mingled contempt and indication passes over his expressive face, IIo turns fierce ly on bis prey. " Ere, wot s thif"j i. "Your fare," floats back to him. "My fare!" in & tone of scathing scorn "iny furor Then rapidly and with a businesslike manner, ns if tho time for emotion wero passed now: " Ere, old ard; I wants another tan ner." By this timo hi fare, if he knows any thing nt nil abont cabmen, is woll under wny.
