BILKING WAYS.

[By A Taxi-Driver.]

There may not be so much "bilk- ing" now us in the days of growlers. and hansoms, but there is quite enough. Last month I was done out of £285.; that's about the aver- age, although In one month, when my lack was right out, I dropped over £4.

Tricks are thought out that I don't think would occur to a man, Men, too, look guilty when they've got a bilking stunt in their heads; the ladies don't!

Here's some "bilking" stories.

In response to a 'phone call to the rank I went to a house. A lady came out, and I helped her with her Philharmonic Symphony Juggage. A girl of about seventeen Orchestra of New York. gave a hand. Said the lady to me: "Alcian Suite-Gavotte Sarabande-
