I was a medical student in Paris at the time the

strange and startling adventure happened which I am about to record. Tired with long lectures and hard study, I was out one evening for a walk in the fresh air. It was a pleasant night in mid-winter. and the cold, bracing air, as it touched my feverish brow, caused a grateful sensation. i Passing through a rather lonely street near the , river. I was surprised at meeting a young and pretty igiri (at least so she appeared in tire dim light of a rather distant street lamp). who carried in her hand some three or four boquets which she offered for sale.

‘ Will mousieur have a‘ boquet? ' aha united, in a sweet, musical tone, holding a welbarranged collec- tion of beautiful flowers.

‘ They are very pretty,‘ said I. taking their) in my hand ; and then somehow, I could not help adding, as I fixed my eyes upon hers: ‘ and, so. I think is their fair cwuer.’

' Monsieur will buy and assist me?’ she said.

‘Do you, then, really need assistance. madamoi. selic ? ’

inight. mousieur 'r '

' ' And why here at all ?' quickly returned I. l ' 'l‘lris street is little frequented. and is about the last in the world I should have selected for disposing of a luxury most suited to wealth and fashion.’

She sighed, and reached out her hand for the boquet. which I still retained.

‘ What is your price I ’ said I.

‘ Five francs.’

‘ A large sum.’

‘Monsicur will remember that it is winter, and flowers are not lculy.’

‘ To aid you I, will purchase,’ returned I. banding her the requisite silver coin ; ‘ for though I love flowers, I would otherwise hardly indulge in the luxury at such an expense.’

but hesitated, looked up to me. and said:

‘ Could Monsieur direct me to the house of a good physician, who will turn out to-urght and see a patient at a small recom cuss ? ’

‘ Any friend a yours iii ? ' ‘ My mother I ' with a deep sigh and dowucasl look."

‘ Where does she reside ? ‘

‘ Only a short distance from here.’

‘ What is the matter with her?‘

' She has a high fever, for one thing.’

‘ When was she taltcn ? ’

‘Shc came down last night, and has not left her bed sinec.’

‘ Why did on not send for a doctor at once ?’

' We hope she would get better soon, and it is so expensive for poor people to employ a physician.‘

' I am myself a medical student. with considerable experience among the sick of the hospitals. and if you are disposed to trust the ease to me, I sat at your service without cherge,’ I rejoined, already feeling deeply interested in the fair girl.

‘ Oh, how shall I thank Monsieur! ’ she exclaim- ed, with clasped hands. and an upward. grateful look. ' Pray follow me Monsieur ls Docteur.’

She turned at once, and moved off at a rapid pace down the street. towards the river Seine. in the di- rection l was walking when we root.

In less than five micutq we had entered a wretciv ed quarter. among narrow streets. old tottering buildings and squalid-looking inhabitants, some of whom seemed to glare at us as we passed along.

' is it much furtherf' inquired 1. beginning to feel uneasy.

‘ Only a step. Honsiesr. It is just here.’

Almost immediately she turned into a covered

To this my fair guide dcigned no reply. On reaching the foot of the stairs, she pushed open a door. into a small.dimly lighted room. and I followed her into it with some secret misgivings. There was

In bed in one comer, and on it appeared to be a [human form lying very still.

I as she closed thc‘door behind me. As there was no reply to this she turned to me, saying -—

* Will Monsieur le Docieur please to be seated a minute, I think my mother is nsleep.’

‘ I beg Madumoisclie will bear in mind that I can ‘ only spare a few moments in this case lo-uight, as I

have another will wish to make immediately,‘ I re- ,lurncd, feeling very anxious to depart from that V. subterranean quarter as quick as possible.

‘ Monsieur shall not be detained long by mo,’ re- joined the girl, passing out of the room by another 3 door.

, ldid not sit down, but walked over to the bed. , where the patient was lying very still, so still indeed j that I could not detect any breathing. A woman's clip was on the head .nan the end of the sheet con- If‘t‘ftlcd the face. if ventured to turn this down care- :fully, and beheld the cycles: sockets and grinning , teeth of a human skull. ; I started back in horror. at the same moment the door by which the girl had left was thrown open, and in marched, one uftortho other, four tall human 2 figures. in black gowns and masks. ” I ltnew at once, _ lheu. that I was to be robbed, and probably murder- ;cd. I wore a heavy diamond pin and ring, carried in very valuable gold watch. and had in money about I my person some five hundred francs. but not a single ; weapon of any kind. Resistance being therefore out ;ol the question. I felt that my only chance—if in- ‘decd there was a chance—was to conciliate the l rnti‘rana and buy myself off‘. Willi a presence of ‘nlilul. for which I still take to myself considerable credit. I said at once:

‘I understand it all, gentlemen. and you will ‘find rue a very liberal person to deal with. "I‘here is one thing I value very highly. because it is the only one

have. aud~l cannot replace it—that is my life. Everything else of mine is at 'your service, even

beyond what I have with me.’ '

They were undoubtedly surprised ' to hear me I speak in that cool. off hand manner : but they march- ! ed forward and surrounded me before either return-

ed a word. lone.“ in a civil way. but in a low gruff lone.

t

l

‘ How much have you with you, then ? ’ inquired

. I immediately mentioned the different articles of 'a value and the exact amount of money.

‘All of which I shall be pleased to present you , with. if one of you will be kind enough to escort me i to the street above,‘ I added. i ‘You said you had more, Monsieur.’

‘ Yes. gentlernen,l have ton thousand francs in

, the Bank of France. and I_will willingly add a cheque ‘ for half that amount.’ ‘ Cheques don't suit our purpose very well,’ said a . second voice. ‘ "I‘heu I pledge you my honor that I will, to-mor- E row, draw out five thousand francs and pay the

i

,amouut over to any person who may approach mo,

;wilh this boquet in his hand.’ raid I, holding out the

l ‘ '0, on my honor, he shall depart unharmed and unquestioned; and no other human being shall be

; informed of the transaction. for a week, a mouth or

i ' Let us first handle what you have Irore,’ said the

. first speaker.’

’ I immediately took out my pin, took off my ring.

ilook out my watch, produced my pocket-book anti

i purse, and placed them all in his extended hand.

‘ You make us a present of those now? ' he said.

‘ Yes, on condition llrat one of you will forthwith conduct run to the street nbove,’ I replied.

‘Monsieur is a very liberal gentleman! Eh. com- rade ? ' said the mask. turning to the other.

‘ ‘ A very liberal gentleman, indeed l ’ was the re- lsponsc. , They then drcwoff together, scrutinised the articles by the light of a smoky lamp,aud conversed to- lgether in low tones. I felt that they were holding a i consultation that involved my life, and. to speak the , honest truth, it seemed as if every nerve in me ;quivcred ; and it was with difficulty I could stand. I At. length the principle spokesmen turned to me and said, in a very cool methodical manner :
