MONTROSE, PA., WEDXESDAY;;FEBRUARY 26, 1873.
Perston, down atiowt four miles from ,
Grafton, had tad his ,- mattei s had

He had moincli n ittelbtink,sidlroail stock,
mortgages, otc.,and eyeizthing 211:19 set

and the fatheileis;
About a year before his death, being
pinched fur money,.and not wishing to
sell anything at a sacrifice, - Preston had
given mortgage on his arm fur three
thousand dollars. While the papers read
"fur one year front; date," there was a
verbal ittriceMent that it should be lifted
any dayt when 'Preston desired. A month
after, when haying the funds to clear off
the paperc the money-bags holding it re
fused to disgorge, .wtshing to secure his
interest for a year...
I was nu my way' to ascertain the date
of expiration. A fire among our papers
had, destroyed the memoranda, and I
must go down and get the date from old
Scrip, who lives south of Grafton about
five The stranger hind pumped call
this outiof mein ten minutes, and vet I
never once sitsprcted,th at he was receiv
ing any information.
"I sin not positive," I added, "but I am
pretty sure that the time is the thirteenth
which wonlil be Tuesday nest."
"And then vonrlnt, s will send down
the money and discharge the mortgage,of
c Ririe r he inquired.',
- Oh, yes, I shall itost likely bring it
down," I replied ; and it never occured to
me how imprudent I was:
lie turned the conversation into other
channels, and did • 119 t, 011Cti attempt to
puny me further.. .We got;to Grafton at
10:50, and to.my great surprise he an
nounced that he was to stop in the town
on business fur a few days. I had not
asked his name or avocation, while he
knew e very th abont me.
We went to the hotels had dinner, and
then I secured a livery team and drove
out, getting through with husiness,su that
I back to take the 3:20 cypress east.
Mv friend was on the porch of the hotel
:ill drove op, carrying that same honest
d ign , tied fade:
“W,ll, did yon dyad out? he inquired,
in his pleasant way,'
-Yes; it is on the a thirteenth, as I ex
pected," I replied. '
We had touch together, and when we
shotik hands 1,0 parted, I had no more
idea of ever meeting him again than I
have of knowing you. In Fact, he told
me that he should Sail for England with
in a week or ten days, and shodld not re
tutn to America. At parting he gave we
his card. It was n anode-+t piece of paste
board. and bore the'name of "George Ra
leigh," in old English script-
Everything at the office went on as usu
al, andthe thirteenth came at length.—
Law di Law bad arranged 'me to go
down with the money, and I looked up
on it as a business of uo special impor
tance.
-We know you are all right," remarked
the senior partner, as I was about to go:
"but I want to giie you a word of warn
ing. nevertheless. Don't take any stran
ger Into your confidence until you have
passed nut the money, and look out who
Bl's next to you."
It was something new for him to cau
tion me, and I could not but wonder at
it ; but in '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 in three packages, under my
Shirt - and next my skin, where the deft
hand of it pickpocket could nut reach it.
Interested in: newspaper, time flew by.
as thetrain flew west, and at length the
hoarse voice of the brakesman warned
me that I had reached Grafton. I had
leaped down and was making for the liv
ery stable, when I heard a familiar voice,
and looked up to see Raleigh . lie was
seated in a buggy, and bad'scemingly
waited for me to come up.
"Don't expres4 your surprise," he he
*ln, as I stopped ut. the wilm. "I did
intend to go away,but 1 change my mind.
and like this section so well that lam go
ing out to.day to look at a farm, with a
view of purchasing.. Come, ride up to
the hotel."
We rode up, ordered launch. and while
we were discussing it, Mr. Raleigh discov
ered dud the farm he was going
to see
was just beyond that of Old Grip s.
"Ilow fortunate! I could ride out with
him, s°e the farm, and return in his com
pany," and he would be greatly pleased.
I was also pleased. If any one hail
told use as we got into tho buggy. that
George !Weigh meant to return with my
money in his pocket and my blood upon
his hands, I should hove believed him a
lunatic. And• vet George Raleigh . had
planned to.dis that very thing.
It was a lovely day in June. and the
coal breeze and the sight of meadows and
green groves. made my heart grow larger.
Xty companion was very talkative. but he
didn't even hint at my,en - and. Ile talk,
ed as far away as he could.
"Oh ! excuse me I" he exclainied, after
we had passed a mile'Leyond the village,
and were among ' the farm shousts. ..1
should have,offered.you this before."
_ lie drew from his pocket a small
of wine and handed it to me. Now. I
was temperate in_rfsgard to drinks. In
fact I detested the sight and smell of any
thing intoxicating. • But J. had not the
moral costrage.to teU him so, and to bond
back the flask undisturhed., I feared to
offend bins, and to I drank, perhaps,
three good swallows.• lie called my at
tention to the woods ou the left, as he re
ceives] back the flask, and when I belied
around again, he was just removing it
from his mouth as if 'he had drank hmrt
sly. ..•
'ln about five minutes I began to feel
queer. the fences ideg the rozul t peraed
to grow higher and the trees thitew larg
er; something - got ir.to my - ears so that
the rattle of the..buggy sounded along
"IloWstrariget why,l believe I 'aim go

My tongue was en heavy. , . that I could
not reply. - I,clitte:hed the seat, shut my
eyed, end he pa the horse at hie best pace.
We met alartriee team, and I can re
member that one of the occupants of the
wagon Card out to know what ailed me.
Raleigh didnot reply, but urged the
horse forward.
'About three.milos from Grafton was a
long stretch of forest, and this we soon
reached. The' pain in my head was not
so violent, and'l Ntas not so badly effected
when opening my eyes. I settled into a
sort of ;limb ettippr, 'with a brain so be
numbed that I nil to say to my elf,
"This is u tree, that le a ettimti," etc., be

Wrong.. Iltilf a mile down the road after
we struck the forest, and 'then Raleigh
turned the horse into a blind road leading
back itied the woods. I cottli not under
stand what ho intended, I tried to grap
ple with the question, but could not solve
'Well, here we are!" exclaimed Raleigh
when we had reached a point forty roils
front Ihe main road.
He stopped the borse,got otit and hitch
ed bith, and then came around to the
e whet, '
"You don't feel 'just right, but I guess
you will be better soon," he- remarked.-
-Come,let me help you down."
Ile reached tip his arms, and I let go
the seat and fell into them.' '- It seemed
to me as if I weigh&l a ton, lint he car
ried me along without an effort, and laid
me down within about a rod of a fence
witieli ran along on one side of an old
pasture. Jnit now I began to get a lit
tle better. Tho effect of the , drug were
wearing off, and I got a faint snspjcion
that something unusual had happened.—
But I was pnwerless to more it limb; the
sensation was like that 'velien' your foot
goes to sleep. ' - i
"Can you speak?" incinited Raleigh,
bending over me; tee:vise if tvou can it
will save me some trouble.• 'I want to
know just where you have
4 tored away
that money."
Now I began to realize my'ituation.—
[lie face looked natural again, and the
loud was oif my tongue. I iso felt that
I could move my fingers a lithe.
"George Rdeigh ! are you ding to rob
me ?" I asked, finding my vrtice at last.
"Well, swine folks might Call it "rob.
lane; but we dress up-the t> 'm a little
by calling it the onle-c lrrect financial way
of equalizing the-floating - ieurrency, so
Ili it each one is provided for.and no one
left. out.
"You slian't have the money. I will
die lira:" I yelled ) rising a little.
"Ah, I sec—didn't take quite enough!"
he coolly remarked, "Well, I have pro
vid.il for tits:.' '"
Ile went to the bnggy, procured ropes
and a gag, and kneeled down beside me,
I had but little streagth yet, and be con
quered me in a moment. Lying on my
right side, lonktug toward the fence, he
tied my hands le hind me and th n forced
the gag into my mouth.
"t here 110 w! You see you are nicely
fixedly. and all because you acted like a ;
fool, inetead of a sensible young lawyer
soon to be admitted to 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 could see her great blue eves, and knew
that she was frightened. There were red
stains around her mouth and on the lit
tle hand resting on the rail, and I knew
that she was some farmer's child search-
ing fur strawberries. [could not warn her of
-her danger, mull feared that she would
be seen or heard. While Raleigh was ty
ing the last knot, I winked at the little
girll as' hard as I could . hoping that she
would move away. But she did not go.
"Well, now fur the money!" said Ral
eigh, and he began searching my pock
eta. de went from one to the other, re
moving all the ni tides, felt down my boot
leg, and then finally passed hand over my
bosom and discovered the money.
"Ile! here it ial". he-exclaimed, draw
ing out the packages. "I don't hardly
believe that old Grip will see any of this
' 10-day"
He sat down near my head, undid the
packages, and was cool enough to goat it
to count the money. As he commenced
the girl waved her hand tome. My heart
went thumping, for I expected she would
utters siord or a shout, but she sank down
from sight, and I-caught a gleam of her
frock as she passed through the grass.
"You EEC, my young friend,". remarked
Raleigh, 33 he drew off one of his boots
and_ deposited some of the . bills in it,
"thers's-uothing like transacting business
as it should be transacted. Some men
would have shot or stabbed you, but it is
only the appreuti et; who do such work.—'
All the real gentleinen of our calling, do
business as 'gentlemen should.
Ile drew off the other boot. and placed
some "fifties" and "twenties" in it, and
then continued:. .-
