Ar?d l..-f me breatho my I?'?st <:gh Within my childhood's home! A THRILLING ADVENTURE. I was a medica! student nc Puris at tho time the strange and startling adventure happened which 1 am about tu record. Tired willi long lectures and hard stu<.iy, I was out one evening for a walk in thc fresh air. h was a |?Icasant day in mid winter, and the cold, bracing air, as ii, touched ?ny feverish brow, caused a grateful sensation. Passing through a rather lonely street near thu liver, 1 was surprised at meeting a young and pretty girl (at least so she appeared hi the dim light of a rather dis tant stfeet lump,) who c-m-u-d in her h inds some three or lour bouquets, which she offered for sale. '.Will Monsieur have a bouquet ?" she asked in a sweet, musical tone, hold ing ont to me a well-arranged collection of Howers. "They are very pretty," said I, taking them in my. haud ; and then, somehow, 1 could not help adding, as 1 fixed my eyes upon hers, " and so, I think, is their fair owner." " Monsieur will buy and assist me1?" she said. . "Do you really need assistance?" II Why else should I J>e here this hour of the night, Monsieur ?" 11 And wiry here at all ?" quickly rc turned I. " This street is very little fre quented, and it is about the last place in tr?e world I should kavo selected for dis )f a luxury most suited to wealth auTnaslnoifT ' She sighed ntuT^?a?hed out her h:\nd for the bouquet which Fstjl! retained. " What is your price? ' " Five francs." " A large strm." " Monsieur will probably remember that it is winter, and flowers are not plenty." ;t To aid you I wil! purchase," returned I, handing her the requisite silver coin ; 41 for though 1 love flowers I would hard ly indulge in the luxury to-night at such an expense." She thanked me and seemed about to pass on, but hesitated, looked up to me, and said : " Could Monsieur direct me to the house of a good physician who will turn out to-night to see a patient at a small recompense?" - "Any friend of yours ill ?" "My mother," with a deep sigh and downcast look. u Where does she resido ?" "Only a short distance from here." ,; What is the matter with her ?" " She has a high fever for one thing." 11 When was she taken ?" "She came down last night, and has not left her bed since." " Why did you not send for a doctor at once?". " We hoped she would get better soon, and it is so expensive for poor people to employ a physician." 11 am myself a medical student with considerable experience among the sick of the hospitals, and if yon are disposed to trust the case to me, I am at your service without charge," I rejoined, al ready feeling deeply interested in the fair girl. '. Oh how shall I thank you Monsieur?" she exclaimed with clasped hands and an upward, grateful look. M Pray follow me. Monsieur le Docteur." She turned and led of at a rapid pace down the street, towards the river.Seine, in the direction I was walking when we j met. in less than five minutas-r-we had en tered a wretched quarter, among narrow streets, old,^g|#t?fing buildings, and inhabitants,, some of ??nTseemed to glare at us as wc passed along. "ls it much farther?" inquired I, be ginning to feel uneasy. "Only a step. Monsieur; it is just here." Almost immediately she turned into fl covered passage which led back among inhabitants that 1 should never have vol untarily visited in the broad light of day. A distant lamp served to make thc ground visible, till she stopped and opened a door in total darkness. "Your hand, Monsieur Ie Docteur," she said, at thc same time taking it and leading me forward. I was tempted to draw back and re fuse to go any further, though I mechani cal Iv* followed her. We now went through a long passage in total darkness, and after two or three short turns began to ascend a flight of creaking, rotten stairs. " Is it possible that you can live in a place like this?" said I, secretly wishing myself out of it. " In Paris beggars cannot be choosers," replied the girl. " But even in Paris it is not necessary for the living to take up their abode in sepulchres!" I rejoined with some as perity, being vexed at myself for suffer ing my good nature to lead me into a den from which I might never come out alive. To this my fair guide deigned no re ply. On reaching the foot of tho stairs she pushed open a door into a small dim lv-lighted room, and I followed her into it with some secret misgivings. There was a bcd in one corner, and on it ap peared to bc a human form lying very still. " I have brought a docte, mother," said the girl, as she closed the door be hind me. As there wa^ no repiy to this she turned to me, saying : " Will Monsieur le Docteur please be seated a minute? I think my mother is asleep ?" " I beg that Mademoiselle will bear in mind that ? can only spare a few mo ment.- in this case to-night, as I have an other call I wish to make immediately," feeling anxious to depart from - that sub terranean quarter as quick as possible. " Monsieur shall not be detained long hy me," rejoined the girl, passing out of the room by another door. I did not sit down, but walked over to the bei where thu patient was lying very still-so still, indeed, that I could not de tect any breathing. A woman's cap was en tte bead, and nt the end of it the sheet concealed the fice. I ventured to turn >!<'\\!i ear^i.lJv.i and beheld tha-svc ic.-is Micko > an ! t*ri?.niii?* Uy ill of :t I: I m.tit .-kuli ! I started back in horror, and at the same moment the door by which the girl had ?eft was thrown open, and in marched, une after the other, lour stalwart forms in black gowns and masks. I at once then knew that 1 was t??4io robbed ?ind probat)!'?' niunleivd. ? wore ?l heavy diamond pin and ring, carried a very valuable gold watch, and had ill money about my person sumo (ive hundred francs, but not a single weapon of any kind. Resistance being therefore out of the question, 1 felt that my only chance if indeed there wa? -a chance-was to conciliate the ruffians and buy myself off. With presence of mind for which I still take to myself nmsidorablc credit, I said :it once, " 1 understand it all, gentlemen, and you will find me a libera! per ou to deal with. There i> one thing I vah?o very highly, because it is tne only one 1 have, and i cannot replace it-that is my lifo. Every thing else of mine is at your ser vice, even beyond what 1 have with me." They were undoubtedly surprised to hear mc speak in that cool, olF-handed manner, but they marched forward and surrounded me before they returned a word. "How much have you with you?" inquired one, in a civil way, but in a low, gruff tone. I immediately mentioned the different articles of 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 Lo escort nie to the street above," 1 added. "You said you-hnd more, Monsieur?" "Yes, gentlemen, 1 have ten thousand francs in the Bank of France, and I will willingly add a check for half that amount.1' " Cheeks don't answer our purposes very well," said a second voice. \ " Then / pledge you my honor that I will to-morrow draw out five thousand francs and pay the amount over to any person who may approach me with this bouquet in his hand," said I, holding out thc flowers. I had purchased of the fair decoy. "And have him arrested thc next min ute, I suppose ?" "No: on my honor he shall depart unharmed and unquestioned, and no other human bviug shall . be informed of the transaction for a week, a month, or a: |.year." Let-us handle what you have," said the first speaker. I immediately took out my pin, took oil" my ring, drew out my watch, pro duced my pocket-book and purse, and placed them all in his extended hand. " You make us a present of these now !" he said. " Yes, on condition thit one of you will forthwith conduct me to the street above," I replied. " Monsieur is a very liberal gentle man, indeed !" was the response. They then drew off together, scruti nized the articles by the light of a smoky lamp, and conversed together in low tones. 1 felt that they were holding a conversation that involved my life. To speak the honest truth, it seemed as if every nerve in me quivered, and it was with difficulty that I could stand. At length tho principal spokesman .urned to me and said in a cool and me thodical manner: " Monsieur has acted more like a gentleman than any we ever had deal ings with, and if we could, consis tent with our business, oblige him,-we would be happy to do so ; but unfortu nately wearegoverned by a rule which is law with us, that dead men tell no tales, and we think it will not do to make any exception in this case. We will, how ever, in consideration of Monsieur's gen tlemanly behaviour, be as mild and leni ent as possible in doing our duty, and give you five minutes for prayers." " You have then resolved lo murder mc," gasped I. " Monsieur uses a very hard term, but we let that pass. You have five minutes yet to live, by this watch." This villain then held my watch to the light, and I felt indeed that my minutes were numbered, and secretly began to pray for the salvation of my soul, believ ing that ? could not save my body. A death-like silence reigned in that gloomy apartment for some time, and then one of the ruffians bent down and lifted a trap door, and from the dark pit below issued a nauseous smell, as it might be of putrid bodies. 1 beheld my in tended grave, and shuddered like an aspen. But why stand there and die like a dog, without a single attempt at escape ? At the worst it could be but death, and there was a bare possibility that I might get away. I fixed my eyes on the door which opened on the slarway, and with a single sudden bound reached it, but found it fast and locked. Then, tis the hands of thc ruffians seized me with a r uirder, ous intent, I uttered a wild shriek, the door was burst in in with a loud crash, and in a moment the room was. filled with gens d'armes. I saw I was saved, and 1 fainted and fell. The four masks', tho fuir decoy, and some two or three others concerned in that murderous den, were well secured that night, and I subsequently had the pleasure of giving in my evidence against them, and seeing them all condemned to thc galleys for life. The place had for some time been sus pected, and thc decoy marked. On that night a detective had secretly followed the girl and myself, and after ascertaining whither she had conducted me, hastened to bring a body of gens d'armes to the place. The delay of the ruffians in their murderous design had been just sufficient lo save me. 1 scarcely need add that I never again volunteered to accompany a distressed damsel on a secret adventure while I remained in Paris. A PAIR OF EIOKSES.-A Dutchman, in describing a span of horses which he had lost, said : "Dey wash very mooch like 'specially de oil' one.
