THE SURGE0N'S STORY.

"Will you buy lny body, sir?" [,
Charles Markham, young physician,
was sitting alone in the dusky little room
that the sign without dignifed with the
title of "Officc," when the words fell
upon my ears. I had just returned Wis
iting the few patients [ could boast of,
thoroughly heartsick at the want of hu-
manity in the world, wet to- the skin,
and more than half frozen.
never remembered a worst night in
all respects. 1t was cold as the Arctic;
clustering; and the sleet that ratified
upon the windows soon covered them
with a coat of ice. 1t had stormed
heavily all day, the stores were closed,
and the sidewalk venders driven to
shelter.
'"God help any one that is forced to
be abroad tonight" had been my
thought, as 1 hurried along after finish
ing my professional duties, and breast
ed my way homeward.
But scarcely had Preached it, chang
ed my saturated garments, coaxed the
sparkling anthracite into cheerful glow,
made myself comfortable, and begun
building castles in Spain of the time
when should have lucrative practice,
ride in my carriage, and own a brown
stone front, when the strange and heart
chilling words fell upon my ears, caus
ing all my pleasant fancies to drift away
in an instant.
"Will you buy my body, sir?"
sprang from my easy chair, drop
ping my well colored meerschaum in
my astonishment, and turned to see who
it was, like Poe's raven had uttered the
terrible words
"Will you buy my body, sir 7"
The question was repeated for the
second time before I had sufficiently
recovered myself-before / was con-
vinced that it was no ill-omened bird,
but one of human semblance, at least.
Yet the request was so utterly unusual,
so much at variance with all precon-
ceived notions of barter and sale, tina
all l could do was to push a chair to-
wards the intruder, and stand in silent
| wonderment :, ssst 4s.sF ~ !
In few moments the selfcommand
had learned during hospital practice
came to my aid and saw that my
visitor was woman-girl, rather, for
she could not have been more than
nineteen or twenty at the utmost; and,
that is if it had not been for the ex-
treme pallor of the face, the pinched-up
look about the mouth, and the sad,
sunken eyes, she would have possessed,
far more than is ordinary the case, the
rare gift Of beauty.
The fickering light of the fire flashed
upon the soft, brown hair, giving it a
more golden glory, and, dissolvlng the
snowAakes that had lodged there, made
them glitter like liquid PEARLS This
much, and that the dress and shawl
were ofthe cheapest material and but 2

and pitiless cold, and the strange re-
