Now, I am regarded as a social man, I like a joke) a good bit, and I tliink a sour, morose man, who uses his tongue only when forced to, is bound to die of'some terrible disease, and to go to some place of red-hot punishment. On entering a railroad car I always look about for a talkative man, and then I get as close to him as possible, and drain him dry, if the journey is long enough. And I want to state one thing more. Left an orphan before I could realize the event tjiat made me oik;, I got kicked out here and cuifed there, and “grew up between folks,” as they say. I ‘ought to "have had at the time of which I write a pretty thorough knowledge of human nature, and have been enabled to read evil til a man’s face if He intended me evil. I did not pride myself on being over keen or sharp, but the knocking around among strangers ought to have given any one a good expe rience. 'Well, the stranger and I fell into an easy strain of conversation, as we rode together, and in ten minutes I began .to enjoy his coinpany. (He was a well-made fellow, finely dressed, and he wore a fine watch and a simon-pure diamond ring. I never saw a man who could talk so easily and pleasantly. It keetned that he had but to open his mouth and the words fell right out, I bad traveled in the South, so had he. I had heard the loud roar of th'e Pacific, he knew all about it. I had been up in a balloon, down in a mine, blown up, smashed up and repaired again and again, my new friend had experienced all these things and was wishing for something of a more startling nature. Wo agreed on poli tics, neither had any religion, and ,1 had never met such a railroad com panion. Did yon over meet a man, though a stranger to youften minutes before, could wrest tVom*you secrets which you had sworn to yourself not to re veal? Well, he was sucli a man. It was not long before he commenced asking me questions. He did not seem trying to quiz or draw me out, but he asked me tjiiesf otis.iii sucli a sly, round about way, that before I knew it, 1 was giving him my his tory. I was at that time on the point 5f being admitted to the bat''of Wiscon sin as a student of Law & Law, of Briefville. The firm were old law yers with a lucrative practice, and it had been talked over that in about a month I should be the “Co.”'of the firm. A year before, a farmer named Preston,-down about four miles ft'Ofti Grafton, had died, and His matters had been put into the hands of Law & Law for settlement, Preston had road stock, mortgages, etc., and everything was settled up to the sat isfaction of the relict and the father less. About a year before his death, bo ing. pinohed for money, and nqt wish ing to sell anything at a aaciafice, Preston had given a mortgage on his farm for three thousand dollars. While the papers l’ead “f6f ohe year from dale,” there was a verbal agreement that it should he lifte'd any day when Preston desired. A month after, when, having the funds to clear off the paper, the old money bags holding Jt refused to secure his interest for a year. I was ou my way to ascertain the dale of expiration. A fire among our office-papers had and stroyed the. mem oranda, and I must go down and get the date from old Scrip, who lives South of Grafton about five miles. The stranger pumped all this out of me in ten minutes, and yet I have never once suspected that ho was re ceiving information. I am not positive,” I added, “but I am pretty sure that the time is the thirteenth, which would be Tuesday next.” “And then your folks will send down the money and discharge the mortgage, of course,” he queried. “Oh, yes, I shall most likely bring it down,” I re;died, and it never oc curred to me how imprudent I was.” He turned the conversation into other charincls, and did not once at tempt to pump tne farther. We got to Grafton at 10-50, and to my great surprise lie announced that he w as to stop in ilie town on business for a lew days. I had not asked hisnariie or vocation, while he knew every thing about me. We went to the hotel, had dinner, and then I secured a livery team and drove out, getting through with bus iness, so that I was back to take 3:20 express east. My friend was On the porch of the hotel as I drove up, car rying the same holiest, dignified face. “Well, did you find out?” he in quired in his pleasant way. “ Yes, it is on the 13th, as I ex pected,” I replied. We had lunch together, and when wo shook hands and parted, I had no more idea of ever meeting him again than I have of knowing you. Jii fact, he told me that he should sail England within a week or ten days, and should not return to America. At parting he gave me his card. It was a modest piece of pasteboard and bore the name of “ George Raleigh,” in old English script. Everything in the office went on as usual, and the thirteenth came at length. Law & Law had arranged for me to go down with the money, and I looked upon it as a business of no special importance. “Wc know you aro all right,’.’ re marked the senior partner, as I was about to go; “but I want to give you a word of warning, nevertheless. Don’t take any stranger into your confidence until you have passed' out the money, and look but %iur sits next to you.’,’ It was something new for him to caution mo, and I could not "but won der at it; but in tfib bustle of getting aboard the train I forgot what he had said. Ordinary prudence had in duced me to place the money, which was ajl in bank bills, and divided into three packages, under my ’shirt and next my skin, where the left hand of a jiick pocket could not reach it. Interested in a newspaper, time flew by, as the train flow west, and at lenghth the hoarse voice of the breakman warned me that I had reached Graftou. I had leaped down, arid was making for the livery stable, when I heard a familHar voice, and. looked up to see Raleigh. He seated in a buggy, and bad seemingly waited for me to come up. “ Don’t express your surprise,” he began, as I stopped at the wheel. “ 1 did intend to go away, but changed my mind, and like this section so well that I am going out to-dny ty look at a farm, with a view of pur chasing Come ride up to the hotel.” Werode up, ordered lunch, nnd while we were discussing it, Mi - . Raleigh discovered that the farm he was going to see was just boyonfl that of old Grip’s, “ llow fortuunte! I could ride out with him, see the farm return in,his company;” and he was gredtly pleased. I was also pkased. If any one had told me, as we got into the buggy, that George Raleigh itteant'to return with my money in his pocket and my blood upon his hands, I should have Relieved him' a lunatic. And yet George Raleigh had planned that very thing. , It was a lovely day in June, and the cool brerizo and the sight of meadows and green groves made my heart grow larger. My companion was very talkative, but, he didn’t ev6h hint at my errand. lie talked as far away as lie could. “O! excuse me!” he exclaimed, after we had passed a mile beyond the village, and ivero among the farm-houses. “.'I should have offered you this before,” He drew from from his pocket a small flask of wine and handed it to tne. Now I was temperate in regard to drinks. In fact, I detested the sight and smell of anything iutoxiea tiug. But I had not the moral cour age to tell him so and to hand hack the flask undisturbed I fe'arod to offend to him, and so I drank perhaps three good swallows. Ilf called my attention to the woods on the left, as lie received back the flask, and when l looked around again lie was just removing it from his mouth as if ho had drank hearty. In about five minutes I began to feel queer. The fence along tlio/osyl seemed to grow higher and the 'trees to grow larger; something got into my ears so that the rattle of the buggy sounded a long way off. “flow strange!” Why, I believe lam going to be sick! ” 1 exclaimed, holding on to., my seat with all my might. “You do loqk strange, ’’ he replied, a snaky sibile-stesljng over his face; “ I shouldn’t wonder if it was apo plexy.” I did not suspect the game he had played. IJis words were like an echo, and bis face seemed twice as large as it was. My head began to spin and my, brain to snap and crack, and I was greatly frightened, “You are bad off,” he continued, looking into iny face. “I will''drive as fast as possible and get a doctor.” My tongue was so heavy that I could not reply. I clutched the seat, shut my eyes, and he put the horse at bis best pace. We tnct a farmer’s team, and I can remember that one of the occupants of the wugou called out to know what ailed that man. Raleigh did not reply, but urged the horse forward. About three miles from Grafton was along stretch of forest, and this we soon reached. The pain in my head was not so violent, and I was not so badly affected “when opening my eyes. I had settled into a sort of dumb stupor, with a brain so be numbed that I had to say to myself, ’“This is a tree, that is a stump,” etc.; before I could make sine that I was not wrorg. Half a mile down the road after wo struck the forest, and and then Raleigh turned thg horse into a blind road leading back into the woods. 1 could not understand what'he intended. I tried to grap ple with the question, but could not solve it. “Well, lie'e we are 1” exclaimed Ralei&b, when he had reached a point forty rods from the main road. _ He Rtoppod the horse, got out and hitched him, and then "came round to the wheel. “ You don’t feel just right, but I guess you will be better soon,’’ be remarked. “Como let me help vou down,’’ ‘ ■ He reached up Ills arms and I let go the seat and fell into them.’ It seemed to mo as if I weighed A ton, lint lie carried me along" without an effort, an'd laid me down within about a rod of a fence which ran along on one sido of an old pasture. Just now I began to get a little better. The effects of the drug weie wear ing off) a faint suspicion that some thing itnAsuiii had happened. But I was powerless to move a limb; the sensation was like that when your .foot goes to sleep. “Can you speak?” inquired Ral eigh, bending over mo; “because, if 'you cattail will save me some trouble. I want to know just where you have stowed away that money.” JSTfIW I' began to realize my situa tion. Ilis face looked natural again, and the load was off my tongue. I also felt that I could move my lingers a little. “ George Raleigh f are you going to rob me?” Tasked, findiifgmy voice at last. “Well, some folks might call it robbing, but wjp dress up the term a "little by catling’ it the only correct financial way of equalizing the float ing currency, so that each one is pro vided for, and no one is left out.” “ You shan’t have the money. I’ll die first! ” I yelled, rising a little. “ Ah, I see —didn’t take quite enough!” bo coolly "remarked. “Well, I have provided for this!” He went to the buggy, procured ropes and a gag, and knelt down be side me. I hud but little strength yet, and ho conquered me in a mo ment. Lying on my right side, look ing towards the fence, 'he tied thy hands behind me and then forced the gag into my mouth. “There, now! You soe you aro nicely fixed up, and all because you acted like a fool, instead of like a sensible young lawyer soon to be ad mitted to the bar.’’ While ho was speaking—indeed, while he was tying tne, I had caught sight of the white face of a little girl looking at us from betWerin the rails of the fence. I could see her great blue eyes, and knew that she was frightened. There were red stains around her mouth and on the littlo hand resting on the rail, and I knew that she was somo fanner’s child searching for strawberries. I could not warn her of her danger, and I feared that she would ho seen or heard'. While Raleigh was tying the last knot, I winked at her as hard as I could, hoping she would move a,/f.y. But she aid not go. ' “ Well, now for the money 1 ” said Raleigh, and he began searching my pockets. He went from one to the other, removing all the articles, felt down tny boot-leg, -and then finally passed his hand over my bosom and found the money. “ Ila 1 here it is 1 ” ho exclaimed, drawing out the packages. *“1 don’t hardly believe old Grip will see any of this to-d.iy.” 1 Ho sat down near my head, undid the packages, and was cool enough to go at counting the money. '• As he commenced, the littlo girl waved her hand to me. My heart went thump ing, for I expected she would utter a word or a shout, but she sank down from sight, and I caught a gleam of her frock as she passed through, the grans. “You see, my young friend,” re marked Raleigh, as he drew off one of his boots and deposited pome of the bills iu it, “there’s uolliiug transacting business ns it should be transacted. Horne men would have shot or stubbed you, but it iu only the apprentices who do such work. All the real gentlemen of our culling do business as gentlemen should.” Ho drew off the other boot and placed some fifties and tweulieain.it, and then continued: '* “ I have it all planned out how to deal with you ns soon ns I get this money disposed of around my per son. I shall lay you on your back and pour the baldnce of this wine down your throat. There is enough of it to irmko you sleep until to-mor row night,'and by that time I shall he hundreds of miles away. As soon as I see that the drug lias taken ef fect, I shall untie your hands and re move the gag. Whferi ybu come out of your sleep—if you over do—you had better crawl ont to the road, where you will most likely meet some traveler soon. I want to use the horse and buggy; otherwise I would leave them for you.” How coolly he talked 1 He treated the matter as if it were a regular transaction, in which I fully acqui esced. He had made me a fast pris oner, and'l fe t that he could do just as he pleased. While ! was thinking, I saw the littlo white face appear between the rails again, but in a moment it faded away, and its place was taken by the sunburnt phi/, of iii farmer. He looked from me to Raleigh and back again, and 1 w inked at him in a way which lie readily understood. His lace dis appeared, and I felt that I should be saved. “No, old Grip won’t get bis tin to-day,” mused Raleigh, storing away the bills in his pockets'. “You will go back to Law ifc Law, feeling pul out and cut up, but they should not $2 A YEAR. "“’’"‘it biame you ; it is not your fault at all. ' I ttiid you minded your busings on the car, and not been so free with a stranger, this would not have hapt pened.
