A MONEY-MAKING MEMORY.

George Harding, E'qr the dlstln-
guished Philadelphia patent lawyer, is
remarkable for a retentive memory.
Ga Saturday Mr.. Harding rode down
to Wall Street, New York. in Broad
way omnibus. A beautiful young lady
got in and handed fifty cents to the at
torney, requesting him TO please hand it
to the driver.
"With pleasure" said Mr.. Harding, at
the same time passing the fifty cents up
through the hole to the stage man.
TIE driver made the change and hand
ed forty cents back to Mr.. Hordipg. who
quietly put it away into his vest pocke;
and went on reading a mowing-machine
brief.
Then all was silence. $50
The young lady began to look nerv'
ouslY at MIR. Harding for her change
Can it be possible that this is one OF
those polite Confidence men we read oi
in b)oks?" she thought to herself.
Then she looked up timidly and asked
Mr.. II riding something about the Crook,
lyn Ferry.
"Oh, the boats run very regular
every three minutes replied the inter.
rnpted lawyer, trying to smile. Then he
went on reading his brief.
"Do the boats run from Wall street to
Astoria?' continued the young lady.
II don't know, madame" replied Mr..
FL, petulautly; I'm not resident OF
New York; I'm Philadelphian."
"AL! yes"-(then a silence).
Nc, Harding again buried himself in
his brief, while the young lady ahemed,
and asked him what the fare was in the
New York stages.
"Wby ten cents, madame ten
cents"
"But gave you fifty cents TO give to
the driver" interrupted the young lady,
"and-"
Didn't he return your change? Is il
possible2 Here, driver!" the lawyer con.
ii Iued, dropping the brief and pulling
the strap violently, "why the dickens
don't you give the lady her forty cents,
sir, forty centb?"
Il did give her the change. I gave
forty cents to you, and you put in youl
pocket" shouted back the driver.
ITO m-?" said Mr.. Harding, feeling
in his vest pocket, ir m which his huger-
brought out four ten-cent pieces. "Gra.
Gus goodness, madsm=l beg ten thou'
sand pardohs; but-but--"
"Oh, never mind" said the lady, ey.
ing him suspicioualy; 'you know lldy
in wicked city like New York has to look
ont for herself. It's no matter-it's wasu'l
the forty cents; but before left home
mother cautioned Inc against polite con-
tiience men, who look SO good outside,
put"
Goodness gracious! my dear wo.
maui exclaimed Mr., Harding, while all
the passengers eyed him with suspicion.
II assure you"
But the stage stopped and the young
lady, holding fast to her portemonnaie,
got oat aud fed into the Custom House,
while Mr.. Harding went on filling up in
this form:
Goodness gracious! Did you ever? O
| Lord what shall dor" etc.
The lawyer got so excited that lie went
back to Philadelphia in hurry. He
even forgot to take big fee in amow-
ing machine case. He says he'd rather
pay ten thousand dollars than to let the
Philadelphia fellows get hold Of the
s ory.
