"ELKANOR BUNKER.
Attorney ut Law.
"Grlzzle, Sept 0, 1872
There you have it," said he, handing
It over to Mr.. TarboX.
"Yes, and it's where you'll have 1t,
too. or I'm mighty mistaken. You
swindled me, young man, out oe dol
lar, and here I've got proof Of 1t, in
black and white. That will be dear
dollar to you, my good fellow"
Perhaps So" replied Elkanor; 'bnt
II you are through, sir, you needn't
wait any longer. There's tn, door,"
Mr.. Tarbox went out. He went out,
too, as if he fancied he saw thu dem
onstrations on the part of the young
lawyer of an intention to put him out.
He kept on, too, after he had got out.
until he came to the house Of Judge
Rawson, who lived few miles away.
Here he stopped and raped. The
judge was not In. He had gone over
to 1.-The farm" SO over to the farm
after the Judge, went Mr.. Tarbox. 1t
was long three miles. and by the time
he reached the spot he had about made
up his mind that it would have been as
well to have given up the dollar AMI
said nothing further about 1t. How
ever. he persevered, and at last found
the judge in the fields with n hoe in his
hand hoeing potatoes.
The judge was n man of few words
and soon brought Mr.. TarbOx to the
point.
why, the amount of it is, Judge"
said Mr.. TarbOX, you see this receipt
the little rascal has given me. Well, l
want you to take it and haul the fellow
up for me-"
Haul him up! Why, the receipt is
good enough. What more do you want,
pray?"
Il don't want anything more from
him. But l should like to make him
swing for it, though. one WHILE"
Make him swing! Swing for what?'
"Why, for swindling me out Of my
money"
"You stupid old jackassr' said the
Judge, didn't you go to him and ask
his opinionT
ITO be sure, did, but"
"And didn't he give 1t to your
''Yes, certainly, but"
Don't bother me with your butts If
you asked him for his advice, and he
gave 1t to you, I should say that was
enough"
"Yes, but he didn't give 1t to me. He
made me pay 81 for 1t. Now, that's
what I call swindling."
you may call it what you like, but
It IL no more swindling than for you
to charge 81 for n bushel Of corn is
swindling."
"Well. hang 1t allr' said Mr.. Tarbox,
rather testify, do you mean to say,
Judge. that this receipt is a good one?'
ITO be sure l do"
"And that can't get my dollar back
ngain?'
Not by a long shot"
Il suppose. then, I can't make the
little rascal suffer for it?'
81 should say not, most decidedly"
well, II that's the case" said Mr..
Tarbox, looking rather crestfallen, at
Is high time I was going;" and Off he
started. But his progress was sudden
