Aftnr a long consultation the masked men
arceded to tue proposition of the doctor,
who onneorcd to have become 80 COM
nIeteIv their accomplice, and who accept.
ed with many protestatIons OF thanks, a
large purse of gold sequlns. Again he
submitted to have his eyes bandaged, and
again he was conducted to the coach in
woitino below but something else ac-
comna1ied the party, and was placed on
tbe seat beside the doctor. That some-
thing else was the body, rolled up in
many thicknesses of white linen, of the
lady who had been bled to death The
carriage made route as circuitous as be-
fore TO the Piazzi Iii Spagna but it was
then, at DR.. Macbrlde request, driven
round to the entrance Of the narrow lane
behind the Paazzo Carminali. Then the
burden wrapped in white linen was car
ried bv the doctor and the taller of the
masked men by the back door into the
dissoctinr-room. and laid like stone on
the table. The doctor noticed that his
fellow bearer was trembling violently, and
Tho Lod evidently had enough of horrors
for that night
Three months afterward DR.. Eneas
Macbride returned to Edinburgh, bring.
ing with him his wife, young and ex
tremely handsome Italian lady of noble
Roman family. Pope Benedict XIV, the
enlightened and humane Lambretini, had
had much to do with bringing about the
union of the handsome Young lady witt
al Dottore Enea Macbnde, Scozzese.
He had informed the young lady's broth
ers, Don Rafaellc and Don Antonio Cor
discoglio, Counts of that ilk, that if they
did not consent to the match and pay
over very large fine to the Apostolic,
Chamber they should be prosecuted witt
| the utmost rigor of the law for having
basely attempted to murder their sistel
| by causing her, as they thought, to have
the veins of her ankles opened. OF course
they had never been opened. Dr. Enea'
Maebride, while pretending to execute
the deradfu hehests Of Don Rafaelle ant
Don Antonio Cordiscogla, had first ad
ministered to her a potion which speed
lily reduced her to complete insensibility
and had next skilfully mingled with thu
warm water III which the feet of the pa
tent were immersed the contents of thu
packet of cochineal which he had pur
chased at the farmaca Panciarotto. Th
poor girls only offence had been that she
had imprudently, and in mere girlish fol
ly, encouraged for short time the ad
dresses of young man much her lnfe
rior in rank but by her naughty an(
vindictive brothers this transient Irritation
was deemed a crime, which her dealt
alone could cXpiate. How fortunate
was that DR., llneas Macbride was g
much addicted to making anatomical "pre
parations, nccessitutng the use of cochl
neal for their perfection fancy, how
ever, that after his marriage he ceased t
dissect small dead hands, and console
himself with covering small live one
with kisses Hor BfNy
