Now, I am regarded as a social man. I like a joke ; more so then than now. On entering a railroad car I always looked about for a talkative man, and then I >t as close to him as possible and ed him dry, if the journey was long enough. And I want to state one thing more. Left an orphan before I could realize the sad event which made me one, I got lucked here and cuffed 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 able to read evil in a man's face if he intended me evil. I did not pride myself on being over sharp, but the knocking around among strang­ ers ought to have given anyone a good experience. Well, the stranger and I fell into an easy train of conversation as we rode to­ gether, and in ten minutes I began to enjoy his company. He was a well-made fellow, finely dressed, and wore a fine watch, and a simon-pure diamond ring. I never saw a man who could talk so easy and so pleasantly. It seemed that he Bad but to open his moilth and the %ords fell right out. I had traveled in the South; so had he. I had heard the roar of the Pacific; he knew all about it. I had been up in a balloon, down in a mine, l>een blown up, smashed up and repaired again and again; my.new friend had ;experienced all these things, and was wishing for, sdtaaething of a more startling nature. We agreed on politics, neither had any religion, and I had never met fmqh a railroad companion. Did you ever meet a man who, though stranger to you ten minutes before, could wrest from you your secrets which you had sworn to yourself not to reveal ? Well, he was such a man. It was not long before he commenced asking me questions. He did not seem to try to quiz or draw me „ out, but he asked me questions in such a sly, roundabout way that, before I knew it, I was giving him my history. . I'was at that time just oto thfe point of being admitted to the bar of Wisconsin as a student of Law & Law, of BriefVille. The firm were old lawyers with a lucra­ tive practice, and it had been talked over that in about a month I should be the *' Co." of the flrtn. A year before, farmer named Preston, down about four miles from Grafton, died, and his matters had been put into the hands of Law & Law for settlement. Preston had died rich. He had money in bank, rail­ road stock and mortgages, etc., and everything was settled up to the satis­ faction of the relict and fatherless. About a year before his death, being pirn-lied for money, and not wishing to " anything at a sacrifice, Preston had given a mortgage on his farm for $3,000. While the papers read "for one year rom date," there was a verbal agreement tLat it should be lifted any day that 1'ivstoii desired. A month softer, when, having the funds to clear off the paper, tlu« "old money bags" holding it refused to discharge, wishing to secure his inter­ est for a year. I was on my way to learn the date of expiration. A fire among my office pa­ pers had destroyed the memoranda, and I must go down and get the date from old Grip, who lived south of Graf­ ton about five miles. The stranger pumped all this out of me in about ten minutes, and yet I never once suspected e was receiving any information. " I am not positive," he added, " but am pretty sure the time is the 13th, ^hicli would be Tuesday next." And then your folks will send down the money and discharge the mortgage, of course ?" he queried. " Oh, y es, I shall most likely bring it clown," I replied, and it never occurred to me how imprudent I was. He turned the conversation into other channels, and did not once attempt to pump me further. We got to Grafton at 0:51), and, to my great surprise, he an­ nounced that he was to stop in town on business for a few days. I had not asked his name or avocation, while he knew everything about me. We went to the hotel, had dinner, and hen I secured a lively team and drove lit, getting through with business so that I was back to take the 3:20 express ast. My friend was on the porch of the otel as I drove up, carrying the same onest, dignified face. » Well, did you find out ? " he inquired, a his pleasant way. Yes, it was on the 13th, as I expect- ?d." I replied. We had lunch together, and when we book hands and parted I had no more idea of ever meeting him again th&n I ad of knowing you. In fact, he told me ;hat he should sail for England within a eek or ten days, and should not return > America. At parting he gave me his ard. It was modest piece of paste- joard, and bore the name of " George Raleigh," in old English script. 1 . Everything at the office went on as sual, and the 13th came at length. Law i Law had arranged with me to go down vith the money, and I looked upon it as business of no special importance. '* We know you are all right," re- arked the senior partner:, as I was about 1 go ; " but I want to give you a word j if warning, nevertheless. Don't take : strangers into your confidence until j you have passed out the money, and look out who site next to you." It wits something new for Him to cau­ tion mo, and I could not but wonder at it; butip the bustle of getting aboard the train I forgot what he had said. Or­ dinary prudence had induced me to place the money, which was all in bank bills and divided into three packages, under my shirt and next to my skin, wliere^ikq* deft hand of a pickpocket could not reach it. Interested in a newspaper, time flew by as the train flew past, and at length Baleigh, and he began searching my pockets. He went from one to the other, removing all the articles; felt down my boot-leg, ,»nd then finally passed his hand over m? boeoa^ and found the money. "Ha! here it is!" he exclaimed, drawing out the package. I doa't hardly believe that old Grip will see any of to-day. e sat down near myjhead, undid the package, and was cool enough to go at it to count the money. As he commenced the little girl waved her hand at me. My the hoarse voice of the tarakeman warned Jieart went thumping, for I expected that ed (jrafton. I *ha& * me that I leaped dfrop an£ :was jhaking for' the livery stable when I heard a familiar voice, and looked up to see Baleigh. He was seated in a buggy, and had seemingly waited for me to come in. " Don't express your surprise," he began, as I stopped at the wheel. " I did intend to go away; I changed my mind, and like this section so well that I am going out to-day to look at a farm with a view of purchasing--come, ride up to the hotel." •" We rode up, ordered lunch, and, while we were discussing it, Mr. Raleigh dis­ covered that the farm he was going to see was just beyond that of old Grip's. How fortunate! I could ride out with him, see the farm, return in his company, and he was greatly pleased. I was also pleased. If any one had told me as we got into the buggy that George Raleigh meant to return with my money in his pocket and my blood upon his hands I should have believed him a lunatic ; and yet George Raleigh had planned to do that very thing. It was a lovely day in" June, and the cool breeze and the sight of meadows and green groves made my heart grow larger. My companion was very talk­ ative, but he didn't even hint at my er­ rand. He talked as far away as he could. " Oh! excuse me! " he exclaimed, after we had passed a mile beyond the village, and were among the farm­ houses. " I should have offered you this before." He drew from his pocket a small flask of wine and handed it to me. Now, I was temperate in regard to drinks. Tn fact, I detested the sight and smell of anything intoxicating. But I had not the moral courage to tell him so, and hand back the flask undisturbed. I feared to offend him, and so I drank, perhaps, three good swallows. He called my attention to the woods on the left as he received back the flask, and, when I looked around again, he was just remov­ ing it from his mouth, as if he had drunk heartily. In about five minutes I began to feel queer. The fence along the road seemed to grow higher and tho trees grow larger; something came to my ears that the rattle of a buggy sounded a long way off. " How strange! Why, I believe I am going to be sick!" I exclaimed, holding on to the seat with all my might. "You do look strange/' he replied, with a snaky smile stealing over his face ; " I shouldn't wonder if it was apo­ plexy." I aid not suspect the game he had played. His words were like an echo, and his face seemed twice, as large as it was. My head began to-spin and my brain began to snap and crack, and I was greatly frightened. - . " You are badly off/' he continued, looking into my 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 his horse at his best pace. We met a farmer's team, and I can remember that one of the occupants of the wagon called out to know what ailed that than. Baleigh did not reply, but urged his horse forward. About three miles from Grafton was a long stretch of forest, and this was soon reached. The pain in my head was not so violent, and I was not so badly affect­ ed when opening my eyes. I had settled into a sort of dumb, stupor, with a brain so benumbed that# lypl tt> thy to myself: " This is a trcje, that8*) ft wtump," Tetc^ before I could make sure I was not wrong. Half a mile down the road after we struck the forest, njgid ttien Raleigh turned the horse into a blind road lead­ ing back into the woods. I could not understand what he intended. I tried to grapple with the question, but could not solve it. " Well, here we are !" Exclaimed Ra­ leigh, when we had reached a point for­ ty rods from the main road. He stopped 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," he remarked. " Come, let me help you down." He reached up his arms, and I let go the seat and fell into them. It seemed to me as if I weighed a ton, but he car­ ried me along without an effort, and laid me down within about a rod of a fence which ran along on one side of an old pasture. Just now I began to get a lit­ tle better. The effects of the drug were wearing off, and I got a fair suspicion that something unusual 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 Baleigh, bending over me ; "because if you can it will save me some trouble. I want to know just where you have stored away that money." Now I began to realize my situation. His face looked natural again, and the load was off my tongue. I also felt that I could move my lingers a little. " George Raleigh ! are you going to rob me ?" I asked, finding my voice at last. " Well, some folks might call it ' rob­ bing,' but we dress up the term a little she would; utter a wwrd or shout; but she sank down from sight, and J taught a gleam of her frock as she passed through the grass. "You see, my young friend," re­ marked Raleigh, as he drew off one of his boots and deposited some of the bills in it, "there's nothing like transacting business as it should be transacted. Some men would have shot or stabbed you, but it's only the apprentices who do such work. All the real gentlemen of our calling do business as gentlemen should." He drew off the other boot, and placed some "fifties" and "twenties" in it, and then continued: " I have it all planned out how to deal with you as soon as I get the money dis­ posed of around my person. I shall lay you on your back and pour the balance of the wine down your throat There's enough of it to make you sleep until to­ morrow night, and by that time I shall be hundreds of miles away. As soon as I see the drug take effect, I shall untie your hands and remove the gag. When you come out of your sleep--if you ever do--you had better crawl out 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. He treated the matter as if it were a regular transaction in which I fully acquiesced. He had me a fast prisoner, and I felt that he could do just as he pleased. While I was thinking, I saw the little white face ap­ pear between the rails again, but in a moment it faded away and its place was taken by the sun-burned phiz of a farm­ er. He looked from me to Raleigh and back again, and I winked at him in a way which he readily understood. His face disappeared, and I felt that I should be saved. "No, old Grip won't get his tin to­ day," mused Raleigh, storing away the bills in his pockets. " You will go back to Law & Law feeling put out and cut up, but they$£»uldn't blame you; it is not your fault at all. True, had you minded your business on the car and not been so free with a stranger, this would not have happened. I was on my way to Milwaukee, and had no thought of such rich pickings here. I saw nothing of the farmer, Raleigh finished his counting, and I made up my mind that the farmer was afraid to interfere, and had run away. My heart went down as Raleigh got up, for I saw that he was about to carry out his plan of further drugging me. He turned me on my back, sat down astride of me, and then pulled out the flask. " Now, in just about a minute we'll be through with the business," he re­ marked, trying to put the mouth of the flask between my jaws. I rolled my head to one side, and he did not succeed. He was jamming the flask against my teeth, when I caught the sound of a soft step, the crash of a cliib, and Raleigh rolled off my body. He tried to leap up, but three or four farmers struck him down, and qne of the blows rendered him senseless. Before he came to I was free of ropes and gag, and we had him securely bound. Over beyond the pasture a farmer and his hands were raking hay. "Little Blue Eyes," only 8 years old, had, fortu­ nately, witnessed a part of Raleigh's proceedings. She had hurried back to her father and told him that " a man was all tijid,up out there." Understand­ ing the situation, he aSid liis men had moved ground so as td |iecure$ an ad­ vantage, and Raleigh's capture was the result. When the rascal found his senses he was terribly taken back, and cursed enough for a whole Flanders army. We took him back to Grafton, and when I saw him again he was on his way to the penitentiary to serve a sentence of fifteen years. The mortgage was duly lifted, and the gift which Law & Law sent to Katy Grey kept her in dresses for many a year. For myself, I felt so humiliated at having fallen into the rascal's trap, and so wrathy at the treatment, that I deter­ mined to devote myself to a thorough warfare on rogues. I therefore joined the detective force, and, after due study, took my place as a full-fledged detective. York Critics. by calling it the only^ correct financial i way of equalizing the floating currency, j Dre^makere. so that each one is provided for and no one left out." " You shan't have the money. I wall die first!" I yelled, rising a little. "Ah, Isee--didn't take quite enough," he coolly remarked. " Well, I have pro­ vided for this." He went to the buggy, procured ropes and a gag, and kneeled down beside me. I had but little strength yet, and he con­ quered me in a moment. Lving on my right side, looking toward tlie fence, he tied my hands behind me, and then forced the gag into my mouth. " There, now. You see you are niccly fixed up, and all because you acted like a fool, instead of a sensible young law­ yer, soon to be admitted to*the bar." While he was speaking, indeed while he was tying me, I had caught sight of the white face of a little girl looking at us from between the rails of the fence. I What Women May Do. A correspondent of the New Tribune says: To one familiar with the reports of our last census the answer to this ques­ tion seems very easy. In all the depart­ ments of labor mentioned below, and in at least as many more not mentioned, women are now doing good and accepta­ ble work. Insurance agents. Jewelers. Journalists. Laundresses.

Gentlemen's Fashions. Gentlemen's coats are shorter than those of last season, and all Ooata for day wear button high; the rough cloths used for business suits are worn higher than the finer goods of semi-dress coats. Vests also button high to match the coat, showing only the scarf about the throat, and concealing the shirt front. All trousers fl.ee worn narrower. Semi-^K^ suitp have , tne double- breastAjf-Albeit ^al made of, black or blue cloth ill diagonal or else cork-screw patterns ; this is for church and for general wear, though gentlemen prefer tjie ; 'c<M. Morn­ ing coals with flaps ana pockets are also made of these cloths. The vest is of the same material and buttons high, with or without a collar, according to fancy; the binding is of moderate width. The trousers are closer, and have hair lines or narrow stripes of medium colors. Business and traveling suits are made of Scotch cheviots in plaids, stripes of mixtures of quaint colore. The entire suit is of one kind of material. The coat is either a single-breasted sack to button three or four buttons, or else the regular English jacket with flaps &d pockets. The vest buttons very high, and the trousers are narrow. Dress coats are not changed in shape, but are worn shorter than last year. They are made as plainly as possible, without binding or cords; the vest, of the same fine black cloth, is cut low-- like the coat--to button three buttons. White vests are not worn with full-dress swallow-tail coats, but are used in the summer with the Prince Alliert frock coats as part of seini-dress suits. White vests are usually double-breasted. » Spring overcoats are single-breasted sacks made of dark-brown or olive Mel­ ton, and are faced with silk on the edges.--Harper't> Bazar. A Pretty Girl at Auction. " Grandfather' 'jAckley, of thevillage'of Watkins, N. Y., had rather a novel ex­ perience recently while "crying off" a vendue in the town of Hector. After dis­ posing of the articles on the sale list there was a lull in business, and the crowd was getting impatient waiting for "Grandfather" to "come down," or rather to announce the close of the sale, when a pretty, plump, rosy girl asked him to offer her to the highest bidder. " Grandfather," being of a modest, re­ tiring disposition, seemed reluctant, but the girl insisted, so he proceeded to " cry " her off. The first bid was offered by a timid young man with a pianissimo voice, who weakly offered $75, a bald- headed man " went him $50 better," and j the bidding went along lively until $2,000 was offered. At this juncture the girl's father went $1,000 better " and " Grand­ father " closed the bid to that gentleman. " Grandfather" looked the crowd of young men over, and, raising himself up in a dignified way, proceeded to address them in the following manner: "Gentie- men, I am surprised, nay more, deeply mortified, to think that you should let such a prize slip through your hands for such a paltry sum. Why, do you know that this young lady would, if married, get up in the morning and make a fire without jarring the floor enough to wake her lord and master up; and, further­ more, if I were as young as some of you, I would swim the whole length of Seneca lake, climb a lil»erty pole, throw the pole away and climb fifty feet further rather than lose the opportunity you fel­ lows have." It is needless to say the assemblage roared with laughter.--New York Evening Telegram. The residents of San Luis Potosi, Mexico, heard a great noise inthe night, and were so frightened that' they remained in bed until morning. Then they found- that a considerable mountain in the neighborhood had disappeared, and where it had stood was an enormously deep and wide hole.
