A MYSTERY OF PARIS.

It was during the saaaon of tho Carnival. and I was at the French opera-house in Paris. It was past tbrso iii the morning. and I was seriously thinking‘ of retiring from that wild. boisterous acetic—not to call it by any harsher name—in which I had been a participant for hours. I was weary—weary of the dance. the lights. the music. tho crowd. the uciaa and confusion. the silly nolhiug that wars continually dinued in my aura by the flirt- ing maskera—aud 1 had withdrawn from the press as: aostad myself in the most quiai spot I could do .

Whila I was thus sitting apart from tho throng. listlsaaly gaaiug upon that which no longer gave me pleasure, a mask. in the dress of a page, aauotarcd quietly past me. and said. in a low. guarded lone :

‘ Monsieur will not seem to laugh or bear. but will look for the bins domino with a singla spot of rad in the bosom. and follow so carelessly as not to attract notice.’

I was only sure this language was not iutsuded

for me. by finding that thsra wait no clhar at the moment within hearing? but what it meant. if it had any moaning, l was at a loss to conjecture. 1 would hava questioned tha page. aotwithslaadiog iha caution not to scam to sea or haar. but that in- dividuai had alrsad passed on too far. and was about mingling ago a with lbs noisy crowd. As I sat thinking; lbs matisr ovar. it occurred to ma that I had bssa mistakes for another paraou. and that what had basil said to Inc had really been in. taudad for some ass also. might load to a naval adraatara. and no one was over mars ready for a soul odsaatara than myaalf. ‘ Lock for tha blus domino. with a single spot of rad as the bosom. and follow acoardssaly as not to sttraat actlcs‘.’ I reputed to myasll.

If alto had intended leaving tha housa. it was not apparent to ma then. nor for some limo altar; and being really very much fatigued. and not certain I was not tbs sport of a mischievous page. I was about to depart myself and finish my night’s adventure in my own bedroom. when I parcaived my fair un- known coming toward ms with a linger on her lips. She came up close besida moand stopped. apparsul- ly for tho purpose at obtaining something in another part of tho house; and then. to my surprise. I hsard bar say in English. in alow. sweet, musical voice:

° Liston. my friend. but sac-not to hear. In five minutes I shall leave the kinda by the entrance on the line Lepollelier, and will most you at the Place chdoinc—oftor which we will parfsct our plan.

My curiosity was excited, and I resolved to go.

forward in the part thus thrust upon ma till I could ascertain something more definite. Aud than her words in English, so correctly spoken, plainly showing that either the was or know me to be a foreigner. or perhaps bolh—madc ma still more eager to fathom the mystery.

Perhaps some may blnmo me, knowing. a’1 I did. that there was a mistake. for seeking to deduct 111111 which did not concern me; and l have nothing to any in my defence. except that I saw before me

~ the prospect of a novel adventure. the temptation of

which I was notjiist then in the proper humour to resist.

The French opera-house had three main entran- ccs, for lh‘ree ranks. on as many streets—namely ; one on anclielicr. for those who came in carriages. one on Pinon for those who coma in flacrco. and one on Grange Batoliorc, for those who came on foot.

My fair unknown had stated that the would leave by the Rue chellelicr—whicli went far to prove that she laid claim to the highest rank among those present. lfuot indeed among society in general— and I went out on the Rue Piuou to order a flacrc and join her at the Place Vendomo.

I reached the Place first. and dismissed my dri- ver before her carriage appeared. which stopped

nosi- rhn iriumphal pill/u- of. Napoleon do Grando. As I hastencdio the carriage, which was plain

black. without blazonry of any kind—tho door was opened by aamull gloved hand from within, while the driver out still, neither turning his head to the right or left. I could just see that the fair unknown was its only occupant, and 1 quietly entered and took a neat beside her, feeling a little nervous and somewhat guilty, I must confess.

The door was that quickly. I heard the sharp anop 01 a spring. the blind was let down, and we were whirled away in almost total darkness.

For nearly an hour we rode in silence through the streets of the great city. I seeing nothing but the dim form of the fair unknown beside me. and having no idea of the direction we were going.

I thought over some curious stories I had heard of strangers being by one menus and another decoy- ed iulo dons of robbers. and began to feel rather on- easy. My pistols had been left at my hotel, and I had not a single weapon with me, unlesa a small pocket-knife might. be so culled.

Iliad not tho fooling. moreover. :11 acting in a right 11:11] honorable manner, 10 give me manly cour- age; and I could not but admit to myself that. should harm come to me through this adventure. it would in a great measure be owing to my own folly.

I had been thinking over the matter for some time, and had just come to the determination of da- clariug that there had been some mistake. and ta- king a hurried leave, when the carriage stopped.

‘ Here we are at last 1' acid the sweet. musical voica of'tba fair masher, the silvery tones of which coupled with my nativa language. tended much to rc-aaauro 1110.

The next moment the door was opened by the drivar.

As I descended the stairs and offered the lady my hand. I glanced quicky around. and perceived that we were in an inner court. surrounded on all sides by lolly buildings.

If I had really been aatrapped. escape was now impossible, and a sudden feeling of alarm made svsn my hand tremble.

' Como. my friend,’ pursued the lady. whose face was still concealed b a monk. and taking my hand as aha spoke, she is me forward to a door, which aha unlocked and throw opcn.

‘ What.’ aha exclaimed. with a light laugh. ‘ are you afraid to outer hora to-nighi. sir Richard. where you hava so often been with ms before ?’

Those words convinced ma that I had indeed been mistaken for some one clean-no loco. indeed. than an English harousi—and determined to go for- ward and ace the and of this strange affair.

‘ Of course 1 am not afraid of you,’ I vauiurad to say ; it but what if the count should have rclurnad durin your abacuca.’

Th a was the first time I had spoken in the lady's hearing. and I was not a little curious to know what effect my voice would produce. notwithstand- ing her ayes had been decaivad by my personal ap- pearance, for I had at no limo basis masksd my. soil.
