A" 7.REN:CH STORY.

The following's etor,- is told by the Paris corre-
spondent of the Cuter 't ,Tourna/:—" A romantic in-
cident occurred e other night at the Bouffes
Parisinnes. A gent!!, 'men well known on the Bourse
of Paris was obiervt d to enter the Turkish Ambas-
sador's box, and to
inverse in low and eager tones
,e(
for some few momemt s. We have since been assured
that the subject off ;ht conversation was one which
had occupied all 1 'era for some weeks past—the
flight from her hom e of the lovely and accomplished
daughter of one o F the first Christian bankers of
Constantinople wii h one of her father's clerks.
The loving pair ha( I been traced to Paris, but here
no clue had as yet b een obtained to the whereabouts
of the runaway co uple. The second piece began,
and as it proceeded, the Ambassador was observed to
gaze with most eawer interest among the group of
figurantes gathered at the back of the stage. By a
curious coincidence the prettiest and most showy of
the fair figurantes a 'as observed, at the same time,
to start as she looked' towards the box, and to scru-
tinise each countenat (ce with a timid glance which
was apparently satis factory, for she quickly re-
sumed the boldness and desinvolture which have
already rendered her a favourite of the public, and
concluded her part irA the chorus with her usual
aplomb and gaiety. The curtain fell amid shouts
of applause, for the little lady had succeeded to
perfection in the pirouette which accompanies the
burden of the song. In another moment a loud shriek
was heard to issue from the coulisses. The piece
proceeded, but the Ambassador returned not to his
box, neither was he seen by the admiring crowd
wait:ng, when the performance was over, to
behold him get into his carriage. The long-
sough t, long-mourned Eudoxie had been recog-
nised ;in the thinly-clad figurante of the Bouffes.
True to the Bohemian instinct which had induced
her to prefer a life of uncertainty and change to all
the respectability and security of her home, she
feigned to yield to the paternal reasoning by which
Vely Pasha endeavoured to prevail upon her to
accompany him to his hotel and accept the protec-
tion of one c‘f the first ladies of the land, who
had offered to' take charge of the prodigal in
case she were found. With tears of repentance
and vows of amendment, she begged but for one
moment's delay to bid farewell to those of
her companions from whom she had re-
ceived help and consolation in the troublous
days of her first engagement in the troupe.
This was, of course, granted immediately, and
Vely Pasha retired into the manager's
room to await her return. But she reappeared
no more. There was one who had been long
expecting this denouement, and who, in the few
short moments allowed for the farewell which he
felt would be the last, breathed other words more
persuasive than those of Vely Pasha, and in an in-
stant the emotion inspired by the memory of home
and kindred was forgotten. Unperceived she had
fled once more, and again is the police set upon her
track. It is generally believed that she is now in
London."
