About three months ago, DR.. HUBERT
had returned home about IL o'clock in
the evening, and was rising his hand to
the knockel, whsn his arm was vigorous
ly ed,and he found three masked men
around him. The streets was deserted;
the DR.. was without arms, and it was
useless TO attempt escape. So he was
preparing to yield with a good grace,
when the man who held him said, DR..
HUBERT, believer 1t seem you know
me- replied the Dr.. come then. take my
purse and watch, let me enter my house,
and go about your business Sir said
the other, 'we are not thieves;-we want
your services you have chosen a sing
ular hour amy hour is good for so
skillful surgeon. 'As you please said
the Dr.. who, little treasured observed
his clients more particularly, and saw that
they were dressed more like dancers than
gentleman OF the road. we beg you DR..
to follow us Immediately Let me in
form my wife'-Thai's useless; you have
your instruments, that's enough; only al
low usto cover, your eyes. 'EBut, sir LESS
talk and more haste:' and at slight
whistle a carriage appeared, the DR., was
put in, and they disappeared at full speed
Having decided that all resistance would
be useless, DR.. HUBERT resigned himself
TO this mysterious violence. For two
hours they spoke not to him and their
language to each other he could not un.
derstand. Suddenly the Garage passed
under an archway: gate is heard to open
and the Garage stops. A door was open
ed. 'Well?' inquired an anxious voice.
Here he is replied one Of the men,
aiding the DR.. to descend. They imme-
telydescended a number of steps. The
fresh air made him sensible they were
ascending an outside staircase. A door
opened, and the DR.. perceived that they
crossed a large marble paved room, the
vestibule perhaps, and then several other
apartments, thickly carpeted. At length
his conductor stopping, Or. we have ar.
rived; remove your bandage.' The DR..
whose fears had given place to restless
curiosity and vague apprehension, obey
ed, and found himseIfin a small chamber
furnished with remarkable luxury, and
halflit by an alaBaster lamp hung from
the ceiling. The windows were hefmet-
really sealed, as well as the curtains of
the alcove at the other end of the room.
Here the DR.. found himself alone with
one of his abductors. He was a man of
imposing height and commanding air,
and his whole exterior of the most aris-i
tocfatic stamp. His black eyes CLEANED
through the halfmask that covered the
upper part Of his face, and nervous ag.
itation shook his colorless lips and the
thick black beard that enffamed the
lower. DR. said he In an abrupt loud
voice, prepare for your wolk-an ampu-
tation.2 'Whereois the patient?' asked
the Dr., turning towards the alcope. The
curtain moved slightly, and he heard a
stihed sigh. Perhaps, sir, said the man
Oenvulsively. BIT, sir, II must see 1the
patient. You will see only the hand
you arctic cut off, The DR.. folding his
arms and looked firmly at the other, said
Sir you brought me- here lbyforce. Ifyou
need my professional assistance, II shall
do my duty without caring for shat, Ior
troubling myself about yeur secrets2but
i If yo1wish EDO commits crime. you can.
not force me to become your aeconpliee.'
| iBe content sir replied the other, Bit
] tefly, itherei IL no crime ID shis;' and lead.
