The omnibus being quite full, he sat on the knee of one of the passengers. While on the way, something was said about pickpockets, and soon the conversation became general on that subject. The gentleman on whose knee the little fellow was seated remarked, "My little fellow, how easy I could pick your pockets." " No, you couldn't," he replied, "for I've been watching you all the time."
