THE ADVENTURES OF A TRUMPETER.
A student in one of the academies in France wan
spending 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.
tit close of a pleasant autumnal evening, this
young man and his cousin, for so 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 a
trumpeter in the hussars, and besides, fond of good
living, never refusing a chance at a good meal to spend a
sociable hour with her. Our couple were, therefore,
taken by surprise at the return of madame, especially as
there was but one way of exit from the house. The
cook, therefore, as quickly as possible, hid all that she
could which might expose them; the only trouble was,
what to do with the unfortunate trumpeter; and afterc
finding every closet and cupboard too small, she advised
him to hide under the bed of Madame T., which seemed
to be the only safe place of refuge.
Madame T. soon retired to her room after
