and weak and destitute. DR.. Samuel
Woody attended him, and ON his recov-
cry obtained a passage to Chicago for the
three.
Nothing was heard OF him again until
several days ago, when a well-dressed
man and two handsome young ladies
called at Dr. 'Woody's Office ON West
Walnut street. The trio proved
to be John McMahal and his
daughters. As the old man shook his
former benefactor by the hand he told, in a
few words, the story of his good fortune.
He had soon found employment in Chi
cago, and had SO far recovered his health
as to be able to earn good living. One
day he met wealthy gentleman, and ex-
hibitedshis little trap, on which he had APP
piled for patent. The following day q

member, bought the invention for five
thousand dollars cash and fifteen per-
cent. royalty. He returned to Louisville
several days ago, and has rented neat
