LOVE ON "TIPS."
Snookers true love for Maggie does not run smoothly, and often he is "no speakin' to her." But finally the rival is vanquished, and the two cement their affections with lozenges and a ham tea. This is possible, because Tam has become "gey guid" at the tipping game. He discusses the art with a railway recruit : — "How mueh did ye mak' the day, Bob? ' ho inquired. "Three-dee," "I got twa boh." "Jingo ! ye're lucky. Hoo is it ye get aa much?" "Giein them the nod." "The nod?" "Ay." "Ye see, it's like this. First of a', ye've got to hae a launchin' face an' show yersel' willin', wheter ye're willin' or no, Jump abooi an' keep 'eirrin' them. Theyre- awfu' fond o' the 'sir,' specially them that are no toffs." His success was built solidly upon a knowledge of human nature.
