We saw the young man wave the taxicab away, saw the sour look on the taxi driver's face, saw the white-haired driver of the hansom abandon his confab with another old-timer near by, and saw the young gentleman hand his young lady_ into the cab just as his daddy probably handed tn some other lass some thirty years ago.
