But, sitting back alone in his taxicab on his way to the station to buy Sheila's ticket to Millings, Sylvester turned his emerald rapidly about on his finger and whistled to himself.

The HOME SECRETARY has determined to put a stop to the practice of whistling for taxicabs in London.

Securing these precious papers, then, without delay we chartered a rickety red taxicab for the day; and piling in we told the driver to take us eastward as far as he could go before the outposts turned us back.

That would account for the sensation of motion in a swift vehicle, and perhaps there had been a taxicab to the station.

" A taxicab with a trunk in front whirled into the street, kicked itself to a stop, and the head clerk and Millie spilled out upon the pavement.

and before he could realize what she was doing she brushed past him and rushed from the room, and across the hall and down to the waiting taxicab into which she sprang, and told the man where to go, with her head out of the window, as he turned into Grosvenor Street.

He got down in front of a big hotel and chose a taxicab from the waiting rank, exhorting the driver to make his best speed to the station.
