THE ADVENTURES OF A TRUMPETER.
A student in one of the academies in Franco was
spending his vacation at the house of one of his rela-
tions, whom wo will call Madame T-. She was a
very captivating woman—beautiful, witty, and, withal,
widow.

At the close of a pleasant autumnal evening, this
young man end his cousin, for so Madame T. was, re-
turned to her mansion after a long and probably very
ploas,,nt walk.

It happened that during the absence of the lady of the
house, the cook had invited a relation of hers, who was a
trumpeter in the hussars, and besides, fond of good
living, never refusing a chance at a good meal to spend 4
sociable hour with her. Our couple were, therefore,
taken by surprise at the return of madame, e.peciallos
