MR. BOLTON'S TRIP TO THE CITY.
BY 0.8. ADAMS.
Mr. Simon Bolton prided himself
on being one of the ehrewdest men.
in. Danbury. Danbury was a small
place—indeed. so small, many ' said,
that they wondered how it \eould
hold rman of Mr. Bolton's caliber,
He was a large full -framed,
fuJI-
fleshed in.dividual, with a -hee& set
ostentatiously back on his shoulders,
a warlike -looking mouth, and a jeair
of co1(1,,ealculating eyes.. He walk-
. ed Witb an obtrusive swagger, and
always seemed ready to discharge a
shower of a,busa, at any one who
should be so unDecky as to cross his
path. or be in his way. He- had ac-
cumulated considerable property,
and was reckoned one of the. most
iubstantial men of the town, as he
was in reality one of the most over-
bearing. He attributed his success
in making money solely to his 'in-
. imitable shrewdness; and truly, if
shrewdness consisted in finding out
the details of his neighbors' affairs,
ascertaining their -wants and needs,
and appearing in the right time with
a few hundred dollars to extort ten
per cent. a month or so, then, Mr.
Bolton was a very shrewd man, Ah,
how shrewd !
He never wasted anything, or
squandered money for needless
luxuries. One of his proudest
boasts was that he had never spent
one dollar for a newspaper of any
e kind or • description. An4 thereby
hangs a tale—in fact, this tale, for if
Mr. Bolton had read the newspapers
it is exceedingly improbable that
the present history would have been
written.
One -fine spring morning Mr. Bol-
ton astonishecl.his family and neigh-
bors by announcing that lee was go -
hag to take a pleasure trip to New
York. Many were the ex_pressions
of wonder and curious questions in
regard to the inspiring cause of this
,unwonted extravagance. all of which
he treated. in a manner comporting
with his dignity. With very
few would he deign to converse on
the subject at a11—these_ favorecl
ones being as wealthy, or wealthier,
than himself. "Until the hour of de-
parture his whole family was. in a
state of confusion and uproar, and,
it might be added, terror, over: the
preparations for the grand event, for
Mr. Bolton made his importance felt
at home as offensively as elsewhere.,
The day arrived. Mr. Bolton
placed in his wallet a hundred, dole'
ler greenback and one hundred dol-
lars in Smaller bills, and hired a con-
veyance to the railroad station, four
miles distant. He was in clue tinie
comfortably seated in a car, where
he glanced around at hiafellow-pass-
engers, as if expecting all of them to
stare at him in awe ; for this journey
to New York was e grand event in
his life—an event in which be fond-
ly, imagined himself to be an excep-
tionably favored individual. When
he returned, his importance wmilc.1
be magnified ten-fold—he would
tower above his fellow citizens with
more unbearable harialitiness if
possible, than ever -before. •
However, he did not attract any
particular attention; in 'fact the
majestic bearing he assumed seemed
quite lost on the obtase crowd
around him. So, with, a feeling, of
disgust, he soon settled himself back
in his seat as comfortable as poesible,
and, gazing out of the. window 'au
the flying trees and fields, surrend-
ered himself to the novelty of the
situation. When the conductor
came along, Mr. Bolton found some
gratification in displaying, ostenta-
tiously, his hundred dollar green-
back and thick roll of smalleabilfs,
' as he took out his ticket. He notic-
ed that a few stared at him rather
curiously as he did this, but he did
not observe the sharp, eager glance
of a respectable looking, aaeher.
young and.very meek appearing man
who sat on the opposite side of the
car. • It was not long before the
meek appearing man rose, with a
yawn and a stretch, and accosted

Yes, but Tam not a fanner.'
'That may be. But .the presence
of enterprising and wide-awake men
has an immense influence over a com-
munity. Industry is eripomsged, and
all that, you know:' 1 -
' Well; -you may be eight,' replied
Mr. Bolton, -with a slight smile and
inflation ,of his chest.
• Going to buy goods I' asked the
stranger.
No. eI thought I would run
down and take a look at the city for
a few days.'
' Oh ! well, its a pretty good sized
town'—in. a facetious tone.
'You.are right, there,' replied
M. Bolton, laughing, as if the
metropolis were as farbiliar to him
as the handwriting of his numerous,
debtors. •
Well, I. shall be your companion
nearly to New York. My name is
Grabber. Yours, if I might be so
bold, is--' •
Bolton, sir, Simon Bolton.'
I am happy to know you, Mr.
Bolton. We may find it agreeable
to 'remain together until our jour-
neys diverge.'
Certainly,' responded Mr. Bole
ton. •
There is nothing like having an
agreeable companion on a long jour-
ney,' said Mr. = Grabber. And, by
the way, where ehall you stop 7 -I
am going on to -morrow. We may
meet in the cite.'.
I hadn't thought of that yet,'
Said Mr. Bolton. I shall, of course,
put na at the best hotel.'
Of course. The Metropolitan is
as good as any. If you. will be
there to -Morrow toward evening,. I
will Meet you.' -
Verk well,' said, Mr. Bolton,
'1 will letop at the Metropolitan.' .
Any of, the hack drivers will take
you there.'
Yes; I know it'—with a little
upheaval of dignity.
"You are posted; I should judge,'
said Mr. Grabber, with an admiring
smile. I should take you to be a'
than that ,Couldn't be hoodwinked
very easily.'
'Well,1 without boasting
Oh, yes. I don't need anything
to satisfy me on that point. I can see
it, in year eye.'
Thus the time was consumed with
entertaining Conversation, and Mr.
'Bolton was -highly pleased, with his
new acquaintance.. He was charm-
ingly frank, and they chatted to-
gether like old friends. After the
lapse of an hour or so, Mr. Bolton
noticed a gruff looking man, with a
fierce, red mustache anti a pair of
glittering eye -glasses, come walking
slowly threughethe car, peering into
the faces of the passengers. He
stopped' suddenly and scanned Mr.
Grabber intently. The latter
seemed a little uneasy under the
scrutiny.
The gruff looking man took a
'document from his pocket an.d brief-
ly inspected its contents.
'Is your name Grabber 7' he de -
mended, at length, looking up.
Yes,' said M. Grabber, in ap-
parent surprise.
I thought so. 'I .have a little
business with you. Will you step
this way 7' -.
" Oh, if you have any business
with me," said Mr. Grabber, cour-
teously, " it can be transacted right
here. The presence of my friend"—
pointing to Mr. Bolton—" need not
interfere.'
Very well ; suit yourself. I
have a freight bill of a hundred and -
four dollars on those goods of yours."
" A -freight bill !"
"Yes, sir, a freight bill. I sup-
pose you are ready to pay it 1"
Yoter supposition id: incorrect,
sir. This is a pretty time to come
to a _man on S.uch business. I'll pa.y
the freight when I get the goods."
"The goods will not go five miles
further until the bill is paid," said
the grtiff Man, firmly.
" BytGeorge 7 This is an outrage."
•" Comp, now, don't get huffy, it
won't do any good."
"But it is a very strange proceed-
ing." '
" I havemy instructions, which
are to collect the bill. You bad
better pay it."
"Shouldn't you call this a strange

Grabber, turning to Mr. Boltoni "1

" Can't do it. The rules forbid
us to take- anything but cenTency."
"Rules be bothered!' exclaimed
Mr. Grabber, drawing from his
pecket-book a check. "Take this;
itis as good as good as the gold.' •
preSurcie it's all right, but I
can't take it. If I was going through
to the city; it might be different.
But, as things are, it can't be ,helped.

Grabber. gloomily. But, Mr. Bolt-

such a favor, but I wouldn't mind

It's all right,' said Bolton. I
will let you have the money. A
hundred and four dollars, is it?'
That is the amount. I' am a
thousand times obliged. It will
help me out of a most embarrassing
scrape.'
There are a hundred and five,'
said Mr. Bolton, producing his hun-
dred dollar greenback andE a five
dollar bill.
'Thanks! Thanks! Can you

significantly. I'll wager anything
that the people in this section are

Well, perhaps so,' said Mr. Bol-
ton.
Oh; I know it. I infer that you

.By making numerous inquiries
and tramping many miles, as it seem-
ed to him, though the eroded
streets, he at length found hithself
in front of the Park Bank. Enter-
ing, he passed the check over the
counter to the paying teller. That
functionary looked briefly and euri-
ou.sly at the piece of paper, and then
scanned. Mr. Bolton's countenance
closely.
Where did you get this' he
asked.
What difference does that maker
demanded Mr. Bolton, with some
asperity.
It makes a good deal of differ-
ence to you. It isn't worth any-
thing?
What do you mean?' asked Mr,
Bolton, with a stare of surprise.
The check is worthless.

dear sir, you have been swindled.

Papers be hanged!' roared Mr.
Bolton; of course I don't.'
A shout of laughter came from
three or four bystanders at this.

at, I should like to know'? demand-
ed Mr. Bolton. Here, give me the'

who had been attracted by the
slight confusion that had occurred.
Come here, and put a flea in
e.Bolton, with a rueful coun-
70murrtenance, walked out with the police-
man, who informed him that Mr.
Grabber was one of a class of swindl-
ers who make a practice of picking
up acquaintances on the cars, and
obtaining money from them by
means of checks and. other
documents. He also heard, to his
great astonishment, that Mr. Grab-
ber and the freight agents were'con-
federates • that they had probably
divided the spoils, and were, very
corning to me.
Mr. Bolton saw them approach
the conductor who had stepped.. out
upon the platform in front of the
depot. They spoke a few words to
him, but he shook his head. They
then' went into the ticket office.
Mr. Boltou watched for their reap-
pearance. But they were detained
an UDIL0001.11.1tably longtime.. Final-
ly the whistle sounded, and the
train started, but they did not ap-
pear. Mr. Bolton grew anxious on
his friends account. He opened the
window and shouted, but to no ef-
fect.' The speed with which the
traiii was moving off increased un-
til RI good- headway was attained: It
was not until 'then that the tardy

Mr. Bolton 'obeyed. The gentle-

draw it on, and smoothed it about
the shoulders.
Walk around a little—batton it
up—unbutton it again—wor your
areas—just see what a splendid fit

Mr. Bolton went through these
successive manoeuvres with great
complacency, when, happening to
pat himself on the chest, something
stet tled him exceedingly. There
was something in • the inside breast
pocket! After the first thrill of
surprise he looked cautiously around
at the proprietor and the clerk. But
their attention was at that moment
'diverted to something else.
Mr. Bolton hastily thrust bis
hand in the inside breast pocket.
Yes, there was a wallet, and it was a
good plump lone, too! Here was a
stroke of luck! Had not the coat
been returned by Mr. Clemeat, the
banker, who was in the habit of
carrying money with him 7 The
conclusion in Mr. Bolton's mind
was obvious and instantaneous.
Evidently Mr. Clement had worn
the coat .for a day or two, and had
forgotten to remo-ve hie pocketbook
before returning it.

Mr. Bolton was amazed, horrified,
and utterly cast down by his loss.
He soon parted from the policeman,
and made his way, with a heavy
heart, to the Metropolitan Hotel.
He still cherished a forlorn hope
that Grabber veould meet him, ac-

the supposed treasure with quivering
fingers. _

It soon occurred to Mr. Bolton to
