A CAB ADVENTURE.
I will wager my chances for the
thronoof France against a box of cigars
that thcro never was n marquis so difll
dent, so timid, so irresponsible, as tho
Marquis Suctono Amentor do Lon
guerue. My hero possesses a heroine?
that is to say, n legitimate heroine, u
24-year-old heroine, as beautiful as you
might wish and as unmusical us you
can imagine. From tho rising of the
sun till tho lust flicker of the night
lamp kIio was constantly at the pinna
Hho strummed with such untiring zeal
that it was impossible to keep servants
in tho house. There were (iuies when
tho marquis, surfeited with Schumann,
tortured by Mendelssohn and dead
weary of Suint-Saens, even envied tho
good fortune of his servants, who could
escape tho instrument of torture.
"Will tho marquis pleaso sottlo my
account?"
'' Are. you going to leavo us?"
"Yes, sir, on account of"?
"Tho piano? I know; yon havo had
enough of it."
"If it were only enough I could
stand it, but it's too much. It is driv?
ing mo cruzy."
"I understand."
"You aro not angry, then?"
"Tho deuce, nol But how can I rc
placo you?"
"I know a man who would snit tho
place. Ho is quito deuf."
"Lucky dog!"
Even tho neighbors woro driven to re?
bellion. Petitions and threatening let?
ters poured in daily, until at lust tho
poor marquis determined to movo to
some isolated quarter near tho barracks
where tho cornetists and drummers
wcro sent to practice scales.
It is scarcely to bo credited, but tho
marquis deeply deplored tho abseneo of
11 hotter rival in his wife's affection
than tlio piano. He bated it with a
deadly hatred, and it is not surprising
that ho seized tho opportunity to escape
when tho misguided virtuosa said to
him:
"Can I count upon your escort Mon?
day OVCUing, dear? I havo promised to
play u fantasia from 'Henry VTII' at
Mine, la Murechulo's. Aro you fond of
'Henry VIII?' "
"Yes?since I'vo learned to feel for
him.1'
Tho intended sarcasm passed un?
noticed, as his wifo thought ho alluded
to tho bold harmonies of tho modem
school.
Tho marchioness, however, was
obliged to go unattended to Mine, la
Murechulo's. Monday evening, at 10
o'clook, she dropped her husband at his
club, und, extending tho soft little hand
that was so soon to torturopoor "Henry
VIII," ahe said to him:
"Will you call for me? I play at half
past 11. No applause would givo me so
much pleasuro as yours."
Tho marquis bent his head over tho
extended bund and disappeared without
a word.
Ho played at tho olub and lost, so
heavily, in fact, that be noon found
himself wishing h(! had gone to the re?
ception, thinking that even "Henry
VIII'' would bo preferable to this. From
"Henry VIII" to thinking of his wifo
was but a short step, aud he determined
to go after her. For you will remember
that Elizabeth Alida Morcolliue do Lon
guerno, away from a piano, was a very
chtu'iiiiiig little woman.
Hardly conscious of what he was do?
ing, tho marquis allowed himself to be
driven to the house of Mine, la Mare
chalo. Not caring to enter at once, ho
remained outside, listening to tho hid?
eous fantasio being performed by his
wife. "It is half past 11," ho thought
to himself. "It is she playing?those
discords are unmistakable. Anno Bo
leyn and Catherine Howard aro at hist
avenged. Henry VIII, go thou to thiuo
execution!"
The noise of a passing cab momenta?
rily drowned tho sound of the piano,
nnd the marquis forgot his wife's mu?
sical shortcomings in mental contem?
plation of her shoulders, her arms, her
eyes, her luxuriant hair and her other
perfections. This vision appealed to his
icstlietio side. Ho felt that I13 had been
too exacting in the face of so many al?
luring charms.
"By Apollo! If a piece of ill luck
should come my way. I'd get UO more
than I richly deserve. What if her heart
is wrapped up in tnoso mtiO'blnck hier?
oglyphics with tho long necks? Sho
loves uio with n coustaucy that is really
torn-lung. I cau put up with n littlo
uiusic. At any rute, I shall uot care
tho less for her on acconut of it. Poor
Woman, how abominably sho plays 1 But
thoy applaud her. Aud I?I have play
?d tho coward. I "will wait outsido beio
for her if it takes tui hour to make up
for it,"
But his ardor was doomed to be
dampened by n lino, cold raiu that now
began to fall. Suotouo Ameutor grow
impatient and was conscious that he
Was getting vjred. Ho had waited u fall
lialf hour. Just then ho noticed a coupe
conic out of tho cotartyard and draw up
near tho curb behind a lino of carriages.
"This riiiu will not lust long," he said
to himself. "In ull probability tho lust
guest to arrive will bo the last to go. I
shall wait in her coupe and rest."
Taking advantage of tho absence of
tho coachman, who hud sought shelter
in a neighboring doorway, ho entered
tho coupo. It was a bijou little convey?
ance, upholstered in bluo silk and ex?
haling an aroma of youth and elegance.
Tho marquis Rcttlod back in tho corner,
which was still warm, and availed him?
self of a wrap that hud been left behind,
und in that blissful statu of comfort he
soon fell asleep. How long ho slum?
bered I cannot soy, but ho suddenly
nwoko as tho coupo drew up in Mine. In
Mnrechalo's courtynrd.
Tho door was thrown open, and n
young woman of extraordinary beatify
approached. When sho saw that tho'
coupo was not empty, sho suppressed an
exclamation, aud, hastily divesting her?
self of her wrap, throw it in upon tho
astonished occupant.
"Are you mad to throw off your cloak
here in tho court?" exclaimed the yonug
man who hud escorted her to tho car?
riage. "Tho air is freezing."
"I am suffocating," sho replied.
And, stepping hastily into tho coupe,
sho closed tho door with a bang.
"If you euro to drop in at mother's, I
will go with you."
' 'No, no. I have changed my mind.
I am tired. Good night. I am going di?
rectly homo."
Tho coupo rolled rapidly away. Tho
marquis, did not stir. Not a word was
spoken until they reached a dark street,
when tho lady withdrew her mantlo.
"Gobton," sho exclaimed, "what
recklessness 1 You might have been my
ruin!"
As tho marquis was about to reply
sho laid a littlo hand on his lips.
"No, not a word. I know what fool?
ish excuses you will make. I will not,
I daro not, listen. My mind is made
up. Ho is breaking my heart, but what
is tho difference? First take buck this
ring. I bavo no right to keep it."
The marquis was conscious that a
ring was being slipped on his finger.
"And now kies mo, swecthenrt. You
descrvo that much for your silenco und
devotion."
Tho marquis spent fivo ecstatic min?
utes, which, however, neither you nor I
need dwell upon.
"Aud now leave*me. In another jno
in rut I shall bo home. Mako hasto?
mako hast?."
Sho lot down the right hand window
and addressed a few words to tho coach?
man, to divert his attention from tho
Bopposod Gustou, who alighted on tho
other side and disappeared, filled with
regrets that ho bad not been able to fol?
low up to tho end this unexpected and
delightful adventure.
Tho coupe drove off straight ahead
and was soon lost in tho darkness.
A clock wus striking 2 aa our hero
reached home. The marchioness was
just alighting at the door. Tho xnurquis
passed her without seeing her.
"Why, niydoar, havo you been asleep
in tho vestibule? You must help mo up
stairs whether you want to or not. They
improvised a cotillon, und I'm 6imply
exhausted."
As he offered her his arm sho noticed
tho ring ho had forgotten to remove
from his finger.
"What a beautiful ring!" she cried.
"Is it for me? I'm sure it was meuut
for a surprise."
Tho confusion of tho marquis was
only equaled by his wife's delight.
"Yes, it is a?a surprise. I shall tell
you about it in tho morning."
For tho next three days the young
wife was in tho most uffublo of moods
in expectation of the diamond, Sho
didn't open the piano once.
Whilo tho jeweler was making a fac?
simile of tho ring tho marquis endeav?
ored to find his oliarmiug unknown.
"I'm a thief," ho said to himself.
"I'm a thief, and here's tho ring to
prove it. What will Gastou?tho real
Gasten?say to her? Poor thing, what a
beautiful trinket sho lost! Poor follow,
what kisses he lost ! Tho recollection of
them makes my head swim."
This little adventure cost my friend
just 8,000 francs, and to help him out
of hi9 embarrassment I am sending tho
following notice to tho newspapers:
"Lost, Monday, 8th, in a coupo with
bluo livery, a diamond ring worth 8,000
