-THE ADVENTURES OF A TRUMPETER.
A student in one of the academies in France Was
speeding his vacation at the house of one of his rela-
tions, whom we will call Madame T—. She was a
very captivating woman—beautiful, witty, and, withal, a
widow.
At the close of a pleasant autumnal evening, this
young man and his cousin, for zo Madame T. was, re-
turned to her mansion after a long and probably very
pleasant walk.
It happened that during the absence of the lady of the
house, the cook had invited a relation of hers, who was it
trumpeter in the hussars, and besides, fond of good
living, never refusing a chance at a good meal to spend
