J MY FmSTWtGHT-CALL CONCLUDED. My patient I found to be a lovely young woman of about eighteen. Her beauty was of the purest Anglo Saxon type; her hair fell unconfined in masses of rippling gold over her pil? low, and her rounded arm rivalled in fairness and .lnstro the snowy satin coverlet on which it rested. She ut? tered not a word as I appeared, but her large bluo eyes fixed themselves on mine with an expression I knew .well how to interpret. I answered the mute appeal by a sileut pressure of the small band which was held out to me; but, knowiug that the couple outside were olosely on the watch, I did not venture on any explicit com? munication of my hopes and inten? tions respecting her. Not moro than half an hour elapsed before the first wail of an infant should have broken in '?pou thf stillness of tho apartment. But 3 had taken measures, effectual, yel harmless, to suppress this earliest signal of independent existence. Thc babe, a female, perfectly formed and giving every indication of heal tl and vigor, lay motionless as a corps* in my arms. I had ' placed the mo ther under the influence of chloro form, and she remained insensible tc my subsequent proceedings. Having wrapped the child carefully but closely, in some linen clothe which were at hand, I stepped forth carrying it with me, to confront and, if possible, outwit its would-b murderers. The madman, with ashei cheek and trembling in every limb started from his seat, and glared wit! horror as I stood before him. Th negress rose also, and, with a hideou grin, stretched out ber arms to rc ceive my burden. Without noticin her, I drew tho man aside, and said "I could have no scruple ir doin as you desired, for the creature hold in my arms is indeed a monstc -the most hideous and remarkable have ever beheld or heard of. I cai not allow you to see it, for tho shoe might be dangerous to you. Yo have spoken to mo of reinuneratiot All the reward I ask, is that you wi permit me to take this body wit me, to be dissected, and preserve where none will ever seek to pry iul its history or origin." Even at first, the madman ht visibly shrunk from the vicinity i the child. Ho now recoiled wit averted face, and faltered forth, wit a gesture of the deepest abhorrent and disgust, "Yes, yes, doctor; f ?od'ssake, take it from my sight!" I turned, and was about to ma] my exit with all possible speed, win the black beldame confronted m and, holding out her arms as befoi while a maliguaut glance shot fro hei dilated orbs, said, in a bissit whisper, "Let old mammy see doctor; she will not be frightened. "Go in there," I replied, pointii to the curtain, behind which smut were now heard indicating thut t hapless mother was recovering frc her artificial stupor-"Go in, ai attend to your mistress!" The old witch cowered beforo i look and tone like one of thu iuferi animals when rebuked by man, ere behind the ourtain, und I saw her more. ??"Now, sir," I said, turning to i host, "there is nothing, I belier which need detain me farther." Still shaking with fear, and ca V fully avoiding the sight of what carried, the wretched mau preoed me down stairs to the room I b first entered. Here he insisted my taking the gold he had sho me, and, under the peculiar circu stances, I felt no hesitation in i cepting the gift. The bag whi contained it waa ploeed on the si of the carriage, which had been k< m&m 1 i 1 in wating. I entered it with my I mord precious barden, the feame pas? senger again mounted tho Lox, and wa drove baok precisely ns I had [ como, for il waa Bullfight, and ?till I could distinguish nothing by which to recall the route On reaching home, X endeavored to detain. 4hV messenger, but he refused to alight* abd drove off almost as soon as mV 'rot iuuehed the pavement. The in? fant, who had by thia time recovered ita normal condition, and was giving full play to a pair of very promising lunga, was committed to the care of my wife.-who, 1 need hardly say, was full of compassion, and intensely interested in the story I had to tell her. Next morning, I repaired to the oilier! of tho chief of police, and re? lated the whole adventure. Officers were detailed to aid me in my efforts to unravel the mystery, but aa I could furnish no clue bevoud a per? sonal description, the search was un? availing; una, to thisduy, I have been unable eveu to conjecture theparent ago of the little being so strangely resoued. Wo adopted her as our own; she boro onr name, and docs not yet know-probubly will never know-that she is not our daughter. A few months ago, she was united, under the happiest auspices, to a wealthy young gentleman of this city. Tho money I received with her enabled mo speedily to triumph in the struggle with fortune. My career hns been a prosperous one, and I am obliged to acknowledge that I owe success and happiness to the freak of a jealous madman, wh?m accident led to select me os the in? stilment of his revenge.
