I was a harum-scarum youth, and lor a dozen years of my manhood ha-lu tottie l aim. I slatted out as a clerk In a country store, then I Im-chiiib ii s hnol teacher, nejtt a clerk In a drug store, where I learned my chemical mysteries; finally, I beann a law student; and It was my knowledge of die istry a science of wh ch I am passiouatul fond that gave me a start as a law itudeu My shlnglo had been hung nut in vai for four or five months, and I bad not single brief to prepare. What little mone I had possessed after my studies were com pleted was rapidly melting awav, and Vcoyjd. not -ignore tbe fact if nn fees about come lu my way lor a couple of months I should have to go on the street, or on the prairie, and labor for ft living. It would be no disgrace, to be sure, but wber. one has spent his little all in preparing himself for a professiocal life, and when he has set bis heart and hopes on such a life, it is sad to have to abaudon It. I was seated in my office one afternoon, indulging in certain elootnv thoughU on the subject, wben tho door npened, anrLa middle aged man in bumble garb came irjw una rrvt'gijizcn nun uv iiiu 1119. inure,,, an honest and industrious machinist, named i r I I li - il. n . -1 William Campbell, a firmer neighbor of my father's, who was now dead. He was flurried and nervous, ami 1 saw, at once, tbcre was something wrong. "Good moraine, Mr. Campbell," said I "How did you happen to find tbt office of a poor young lawyer like me?" "By accident," bo said. "I am in trouble, and if I don't get out of il lam ruined. All tbe ravings of my life will be gone, un less I can find some lawyer smart enough to defeat the rascality of a certain man, and I was going alomi, intending to call on the first lewyer I should tee, and it happened Live ana Let Live." PA., SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1883. l to you. As I knew your father weM,and knew ynu when you was boy, I thought I could not do better than tn put the case In vnur hands; I'd nt least be sure of fair treatment, I thought." "lott would I sure of that at the hands of any lawyer, to whom you should Intrust vnur case," said I. "Now, let roe hear what it li, and I will see what can bo done." "Well, H is this. I've worked quite hard all my life at my trade, nnd acrumulate'd semo money about six thousand dollnra, in fact. ! hare seven children I should like to provldo for, and It lias been my steady aim to Increase my money all I could. A year ago, a friend of mine, who is In the same business I am in, told me If lie could take n partner In the spring, and If I should go in with him, we could make a lot of money, I looked Into the matter, and found he was not mistaken about it. I saw I could, in n few years,- Increase my six thousand to twenty thousand, and I told Ulm I would be ready toJoln him In the business when the lime came. Meantime, my money was Inylng In the bank, where I ought In have left it, drawing five and a half per cent Interest. "Shortly aftcr 't tnado Jlhls arrangement with myfilend about' the partnership, a man I knew well, and had grent confidence In, came to me and asked mo to lend him the money lilt I should want it at tlio end of the yen r, and he said he could readily return it by that time, and lie would giy m eight per cent. So I let him have it,and now It is due and I can't get it back." "Has he any property?" "Yes the amount of it; but I have since understood lie's a slippery fellow, but I had not known that before." '!Bul you took his note, surely," said I. "Yes, but I can't find it; that's what troubles me. t called on him yesterday nnd tohl him so, and he said he had no recollection of borrowing any .money from me; if I had the note hn wouM pay ll; il I hadn't ho certainly would not " "And you can't find the unlet" "So." "What did ynu do wilh It?" "I put it in this pocket-book, where 1 keep all my important papers; but when 1 came tn look for it among some other nnles, and the like, I couldn't find ll." He produced a large old fashioned, leather pnekelbook, as ho spoke, and I looked through it, and examined a lot of receipts and notc6 that were pricked together in on? nf its pockets, thinking that two of the pa pers might be sticking together. "There is no promisory nolo fnr that amount here," I said, "dnt what Is the blank sheet nf paper doing here?-" and Itcnk up a slip ol while paper that I found among the documents. "I don't know." "Who is the man that gave you the nnU?" "Al.,..ler Ddton, tho drnegist." I knew Alexander Bnlton welt. lie woe wealthy and iientirinua. and had Ihe name nf being very tricky. I was astir fled ilmt 'Mr. Campbell was telling the truth. I wns as well convinced that Alexander Bolton was nnt a man who would be likely to for get having borrowed such a large sum os six thousand dollars, nnd I jumped to the conclusion that he had ployed some cun ning trick,to wrong Iho confliling mechanic out of the fruita nf many years nf labnr. But what was the trick? That was the question that puzzled me. "Huyo ynu bad this pocket-book In a se cure place eyer since ho gavoyou the note?' I asked. "Ye"; under lock nnd key, where no one could touch it hut m3'self." "Aro you sure Hint it has been ever since impossible lor any one to find it to purloin the note?" "I Min perfectly sure of that. Tho Inck nf my desk in which I haye kept it is nno I made myself. There is but one key in the world IhHt will open it, and here it is," he said, producing Irom his rocket a bright steel key, ot very odd outline "Not a thing has ever been disturbed in that desk." I mused a few minutes as regain casual ly overhauled the papers, then said, "Mr. Compbell, I don't mean lo ray that Mr. Bolton is dishonest, but might he no! have handed you this blank sheet of paper and slipped tho unto Into his pocket-book with tho money you lent him?" "Nn, that is out of th qti.'stfon. I exam ined the note again after I reached home, before I put the pocket-book away, to see that no mistake bad been made; found It all right, plai i as day in every letter and figure, and I remember as well as though it I had been yesterdoy; I evon remember no tlcing how bright the ink was; it bad quite a reddish tinge." whs in the act of handing the pocket book back to him, as he said this, but a thoiight.suddenly struck me, and I opened it attain. "Mr. Campbell," I said carelessly, "do you remember whelhor the note was filled nut on a blank form, or not?" "It was not; be wroto it oat In full him self, on the top of a piece of foolscap, and cut it off with a pair of scissors. I remain her everything about It very clearly, for it was about all I had In the world, and lo m it was a very essential afl'jir." I examined tbe strip nf white paper, far a startling idea had already taken shape In my mind, and I perceived that it bad been cut from the top of foolscap, eyidently wilh a pair of scissors "Do you know how you happened to place this slip or white paper In here?" "No, I don't remember placing it there; I might have done an, thinking It would some time come bandy to figure on." "Will you let me have it?" "Certainly," be replied, somewhat eur prieed at niy modest request. ell," I said, as I laid the paper on tbe table, and set the inkstand on it, I ? "I am going to mal e an effort In recover your money for you; I shall bring suit agamsi uoiton at once, and have him sum moned to appear before Judge . Yuu can, of course, sweur that vnu have len him Ihe money, and tbe note be gave you Is missing " "Yes,, with a clear conscience; I could not be mistaken about it." "Then call on me to-morrow morning, a nine o'clock." "I will He left me and I tnok tbe slip of paper and examined It cloe.lv. It seemed to ba nothing but a stray frag ment ot foolscap, but It occurred to me loal SI. 00 a If It might haye a history; it was hero ttia niy chemical knowledge came Into play. I remembered that Alexander Bolton was I a chemist; and I alsj remembered that an Ink muld be made wl'h analine, Iodide of rrnmonln and chloride of tine, in certain proportions-, which had a fresh, reddish tinge and that It would fade out entirety In four days, leaving no mark nn tho paper. Bolton, no doubt, knew this secret, and lie used it to swindle the mechanic out of bis earnings. The more t considered this subject, the more I became convinced that such was the case. The note had been written with fading Ink. But there wos mother chemical secret which probably Bolton did nnt know, as I had discovered It myself by accident. This treacherous ink, nn fading out, leaves the zinc In invisible atoms nn the paper, so that every line Iraccd may be reslnred by the application of a certain solution of sulphate of Iron and hydrate nf calrium. Bo, nn sooner had Mr. Campbell Uft my office than I hurried to a drug stnrc, where I ub tamed the solution. Returning to my office,! saturated a piece of blotting paper with a dropnf it, and ap plied it tn a corner of tlio blank paper. The result made ma jump up, clap my hands and yell with delight, lor fresh and clear the dollar came out, I knew not what hidden words the paper contained, and I placed it in my pocket-book, corked up the vial which was destined lo prove a vial nf wrath In Mr. Bolton nnd went Immedi ately, and brought suit against him for the recovery nf the amount ot the note, with in terest and costs. A few days later, Alexander Bolton stood at tlio bar nf justice, to answer In bis own belialf. It teemed aj easy tn him, that be did not deem it necessary to employ auv counsel. Mr. Campbell swore to the facts be had related to me concerning tho loan. Mr. Bolton answered, on oath, that he had no recollection nf ever borrowing any money of the plaintiff. II he did, where was tbe note? lie would thank anybody to pro- uce it. "Your honor," tal'd I, addressing (lie udge, "I think I can produce, tbe note in question." "1 understaod you that it .was not to be found,"'sald Judge D , somewhat sur prised. "It baa nover been lost," I said, as I took from my pocket the blank slip nl paper, nd pns8ed it to him. "This is lU" I hope, ynu aro not trifling with the. court," he said, as lie glunred at both sides and perceived that it was blank. I am not, your honor," said I, as I pro cceded at once In explain tn him the oliem- cal lact I huve already dcsorlbed. I watched Alexander Bolton as I did sn, ami noticed that lie turned very palo. When I hod concluded,! took from my pocket the vial containing the solution, saturated piece ot blotting paper' with it, and Dressed t uiion the blauk slip of paper that lav.up- on tho judge's desk. A few seconds I left it'sn, then lifted il up, confident of tbe result; and 1 was not lisappoitilcd. Tlio blank slip of paper was suddenly translormed into ft promisory note, every word, letter and figure, as clear as sun. shine. It was n note of six thniismd dollars.willi a year's interest just due, drawn In faynr ol William Campbell, and tho slgnatiirn of Alexander Bolton was at the bottom of it. The judge gazed with amazement, Irnm the note toward Alexander Bolton, Just in time to iliscover (hat that tricky geutleman was skulking away toward tbe door. At the judge's order he was brought back by an officer, and informed that he would have something more to answer for than the amount ef the loan, interest acd costs. And so he had. Abashed and terrified.al thediscoyery of his unsuccessful swindle, and in boj es nf propitiating Ihe court, heat once gave his .'heck tor tho amount due Mr. Campbell, and paid the costs. In view of his conlession, he was let off with two years' imprisonment, and I don't suppose he will ever dabble in invisible ink ;ain. This, my -first case, attracted ronslderable notice, and I haye never since bad to lounge in my office and vearn for clients "It was Only an Accident" A fish-hook in your llesh, a scissors blade In your left thumb, a sprained ankle from a mis step on a loose stone, a bruised shin bv a slip Irom a car platform, a cut on your cheek by a clumsy barber s razor, a enntu Sinn nu your eloow by poking ii tnrnugn, a street car window, a swelling on your nose Irom runninff acaiust an oneu dmr In the dark these are likely lo happen without moment a notice.

Win C.Greer, of Imng Kddy, a veteran ralttesnsko catcher, has just shipped fnnr rattlers, nteraglng over four feet in length, to a museum In Rochester. Mr. Greer does, a lively busi ness in rattlesnakes. He catches tbcm lor traveling shows and mensgnrles, and sells them at a good round price. His method of capture Is very simple. With bis feet encased In a palrol heavy cowhide boots, li rough which the fangs of the snakes can- not p'-netmtc. lie goes out into the woods only a short distance from Ilia, farm bouse. Armed with a heavy cane, he "walks along until he bears nr sees ft rattler. If it is cnlled up a blow with the cane will straighten it out, and while It is unrolled it cannot strike Holding t firmly back, pf the bead with tho cau'e, clips a small bond of thick woollen cln.n oyer its head and ties It fast. The snake can then wrig gle and stiike as much as it pleases, it is then harmless. After two or three are captured they are put lu a bg and carried homo. There tliev are put In a box special y prepared for their reception, haying a front nl thick plate glass. At Grst tbry are furious, and writhe and plunge about slrik- lig 0,1 the sides of the glass In a most ex traordinary manner, but they finally quiet down and take kindly to their new quart ers. They are fed thn-e limes ft day regu larly. Their fond consists of frogs, mice, gophers, and sometimes small birds. Mr. Greer siiys A,ugust is the most dangerous nl II months for capturing Ihn snakes, be cause they nro shedding their skins end cannot tee and sn do notgite the customary three alarm rnltles. "Snakes 19 cuilois," says Mr. Greer. "Snakes is rurinus, and no mistake. These varmits never think of biting at any other time of the year wlltionl cillltig out a warning 'cept in August, nnd Ihen they are fearfully touchy. I suppose It's becauso they can't ace, they are afra'd of being hurl all the time. SInte people get bit by rattle snakes la August than in all the rest of the year put together. You see, the varmits, bein' so blliid,ilon't know where Ibey crawl tn, and often Ibey. curl themselves nn right a'.ongside of a road, and sometimes in the middle of it. They are very sensitive, and the minute they hear anv one near them they try lo bile. That's why so many of these city folks who come up in tho Sulli van county mountains for rest, as they call It, get poisoned, and once in a while dio. Most of 'cm dies from fright, though, 'cause with proper caro they can always be cured. Attor dark is the meanest tlmo wilh rattlers In August. Ynu sec, generally the rattler goes to sleep at sundown, or If he is awake lie Is afrat t and keeps quiet. But in August his tender hide and Ins eyes pain him so he can't sleep well, and he Is just as apt as not to stretch himself right out on one cf tho foot paths. If he does you can just bet that Ihe man or woman wbo comes in his way gels bit." LITIGIOUS PETER QUICK. UU UnraOLE? AND rOBTUNES IN THE PIEP C CNIT COURTS SINCE 1857. llARBtsnuno, Ta., Oct. 28. In 1673 Teler A. L. Quick, of Pike county, this Stale, come Into a fortune ol S30,C00. It was the result of a low suit which bo began in 1857, with only $500 in his pocket, against Iho Wyoming 0al Company nf Luzerne cnun ty, with millions at its back. Ho claimed a title to a tract of land In its pogesion, valued ot $2,000,000. After ten years' lili gation, to c.irrynn which Quick's only re sources wcro the proceeds of the sale of hoop poles, railroad ties, and the product nf a primitive 6aw mill in the Pike county woods, ho obtained a verdict in bis lavor for SJ00.000. The Supreme Court reversed Ilia decision. Quick ut once brought in anoth er suit. Tho coal company offered him 180,000 in cash to compromisa the case. He refused. After six years nf further limita tion, being unable tn raise sufficient Hinds to carry ait Ihe fight, he occeptcd an offer ol $10,000 from tlio company, which had spent oyer $000,000 in defending the suit. The money was attached by his lawyer, who claimed it for fees. Quick employed Ihe Hon, D. M. Von Auken, a shrewd Pike enunty lawyer; to gethimoutnf Ids new difficulty. Tbe lawyer settled for $10,000. Quick'e Pike county, lawyer Von Auken, had been elected to Congress in 1868, and again In In 18S8, but the expenses of Ills camiiaigtis had left htm badly In debt. He owned a stable of Hombletnnlan horses, among them a stallion sired by old Ham bleton himself. For this heree Von Auken hed retusod an offer nf $12,000 in cash, and. another offer nf twenty blooded brood marcs and 20 blooded yearling colts. At the time he was employed by Quick, Van Auken was greatly harrassed by his credi tors. When he recovered tbe $50,000 for Quick the latter loaned him money from time to lime. To secure one nf these loans Quick tnok a rhaltle mnrtgagoon Iho Ham bletonlan stallion. State Senator George II. Rowland held another chattel mortgage on the same horse. The stallion was nt that limedolng, service in Central New York, and Van Auken's share nf bis earnings was $1,000 a year. In 1 871) Van Auken heard by accident that Quick had gone to Far mersville, N. Y., where the hnrse was then stationed, and bad issued an executlnnun- der his mortgage, and had advertised the horse fnr sale. Van Auken and Senator Rowland arrived in Farmersville in time to slop tbe proceedings. An agreement was then signed by the three that Die horse could not be sold at any time without Ihe consent of two of 1I14 parties. Shortly afterward, however. Quick went qu'etly back tn. FaruieMville and had the hnrs (old. Van Auken brorulit suit acaion Q lick to recover damag-a. f-r the sibof the stallion. He obtained a judunviit if $1000. The r.ise WHSlaken to the Suprco Court. A decl.inn lias lust been rendered sustaining the judgment with costs. It Is said tbat Quick has such a mania for litigation that bis money has nearly all been spent sicca 1875 in court cottsand law yers' fees. He has had from two to fntirr-nes on Ihe calendar at every term or the Pike county courts for the past fight years, and he has been beaten in nearly every case, pjyfJett'ie AnrojAT-!
