STORY OF A LEG,
shade.

In the autumn Of 1882, the surgeon,
Louis Thevenet, of Calais, received an
anonymous letter, requiring his attendance
on the following day at certain house not
far from the town, aud requesting him to
bring with him the necessary instruments
for amputating limb. Thevenet was, at
that period, renowned far and wide for bis
skill, and it was by no means uncommon
for patients TO send for him from England
in order to be guided by his judgment in
cases of more than ordinary Importance
He had been long attached TO the army,
and, though of somewhat uncoulh manner,
was universally beloved on account of the
kindness of his disposition.
Thevenet puzzled long time over the
anonymous communication. Both time
and place were indicated with the greatest
eXactness: at such an hour, and at such q
spot, would he be expected; but, as before
observed the letter bore no signature. "A
hoax, in all probability, was the conclusion
he arrived at, and he resolved not to 60.
Three days afterward he received sim
liar invitation, though cOuched in more
pressing terms, with the announcement
that carriage would be at his door at nine
the next morning, to convey him to the ap.
pointed spot.
Scarcely had the clock finished striking
the hour OF nine, on the following morning,
than handsome open carriage drove to
the surgeons door; he made no further
hesitation but entered it. AS he got in, he
inquired of the coachman whittier he was

in the English language, 4 do not med.
