BANG WENT THREEPENCE
Two Scotchmen met on a country road after a long absence. "Hae a cigar," said Sandy, in the large manner. Jock thanked him and lighted it. '‘Gosh," he said, after a long while, "these smokes maun hae cost you a deal." "Nae Bne muckle," replied Sandy expansively. "A matter o' five shillings the twa, maybe." For a time the two smoked away, talking of this and that. Then came n pause. "Sandy," said J.ock at last, in tones of one who had made a great discovery, "Ali'm thinking your cigar is the four-and-ninepenny one."
