My own dirse was light, and -1 selected a heap out respec table-look- : ing inn to put up for the night. "In the sittiiig-ro.'iii there were sev eral gentlemanly-looking men. who rn- ; tereil into conversation wiih me. ami I, j foolishly enough, while ref-onnting my adventures in Mt'.l.-onrne, and its neigh- Imrhood. nn'titioTted that I had a cont-i-1-erable sum of money with me.

It occurred to me at once that , the liquor had leeii drugged, and ; that it was the intention of my present : comianions to rob me of the money I i had imprudently confessed to have about i me. j "I determined if possible to balk them, ! ; end without a word took a candle from : : the slab and staggered to my bedroom. ! 1 I entered and locked tlie tloor, and then n-Po,.,ii,.- il.o Ktiiirs I board iiennln ...cfMi.- it- llm t .t Kill T -'l-I lllllUa i o , 'r ..oil f,o- i.ssist'ni.ee :m,l I mink back insensible on the bed.

In my mind's eye I read the description of my corpse, watered outside the olice station. "Vou may imagine those fancies of mine were not calculated to make me feel particularly jolly, and I lay forsome ' time Praying for death to release me r i t. .. iiom my pKiiouee'i atroo. uli n After while I determined to make one great effort to Siive my life, and again rose to my feet and staggered along feeling my way against the wall, for not the small- est "ray of light penetrated to this gloomy vaulL Motion restored the circulation to my legs, and after a short time.

I had passed where the rumbling noise atove me resembled distant thunder. which was caused, I imagined, by the ' vehicles on some busy thoroughfare, but no grating let through light tome. I stumbled many times and fell over mis shaped objects in my path. 1 shuddered ' as I thought what they might lie. I was covered from head to foot with mud and slime, and my clothes were satura ted with water. "Exhausted again, I sankdovn upon the bottom of the vault, and stared va- j cantly before me, "Surely there was something moving upon, the opposite wall, there was some thing moving behind me, around me, on every side. Another movement, and I felt some living thing upon me an other and another. "I was attacked by rats ! ".Luckily my hands touched a heavy stick lying near me. Armed with this, I rose again to my feet, and laid about me with all my strength, but the vermin were fierce and hungry, and were not to be repulsed. They attacked my legs, drawing blood with their sharp teeth, and it was some time before I could rid myself of them, and not till I had killed many. "Again I essayed to rest, but now an other terror took possession of me. Could I escaie drowning, suffocation and the rats ? Still, unless I could reach tlie l'iL of the V""'', -starvation stared me in the face. "I fancied myself, weakened by loss of food and unable to defend myself, again attacked by the noxious rats, and gnaw ed till I bled to death. Fancying the strongest horrors, incredible as you my think it, worn out and wearied as I was, 1 fell asleep. "When I woke, it was to feel the most dreadful pangs of hunger, so se vere as to make me wish that that bleep had been my hist. "My baud, Iving in the water, came I in contact with the body of one of the rats I had slain. Eagerly, without re i Heeling for a moment, I carried it to ! my mouth, and ravenously tore (he raw : flesh from its bones with my teeth, j '"l'hew ; now, when I think of what i that creature fattened on, it makes me : ili. but then no such thought crossed j my mind, for I was starving. Ilefrefeiie.r by my repast yes. you i may well doubt it, for you have proba ! blv never been so near starvation as I was then refreshed by my repast, asrain I sr urn bled on in the direction I conchi d d mur-t -lead to the river. "S'ud dcnly I received a violent blow ujHin the head, which stunned me for a moment. "I set myself to worl; to fh.d out the cause, and was not long in doing so. "I had come to tl.e end of the vault ! "Kither it was the stw-t where thp sewer commenced, or more probably I had, without knowing it, tinned off into one of the numerous branches which intersect the main sewer. "Von cannot imagine the despair which took possession of me when I made the discovery. I felt the wall carefuliy. in hope that there might be some small outlet, but there was none. Nothing but tie- cold, slimy bricks net my touch, and. childish as you may think it, I sat and burst into a i!ood of tears. ".No one who has not .-t niggled against death knows how hard a man will fight for his life. 'Presently 1 found myself walking down a steep incline. I was at length in the ritrht way to the river. A few steps further I saw light a faint glim mering, it is true, but still light. Oh. how my heart throbbed '. 1 cried with joy. I was saved, I thought, and I pushed forth with renewed energy. "i on I came to what w as evidenti v 1 tlin ma:n sewer, branching right and the way for me to take ! as that which le.l doWUW ard, but lien ! a fresh difficulty presented itself. ' "Jn the passages along which I had ; hitherto been walking the water had ! never been above my knees, but now it reached my thighs; fortunately, how ever, 1 hart retained nio suck which om me such good service with the rats, and by the aid of that, and proceed ing slowly and cautiously, I was able to get along. "The light grew brighter, and bright er and every moment I approached nearer to it. "At length I reached it. and. looking up through the iron grating, I once more saw the brilliant sunlight. My heart sank when I saw how high Hie grating was above me, but I bd not despair of making my cries heard. "I called as loudly as I could, but I heard no response. Then I listened. ; Tt vas evidently a quiet street, ftr I heard no noise of taking vehicles. I I ance. instinctively i put out my nana, ami it touched the cold, clammy face of a corpse. 1 shuddered and drew back, and the body went slowly swinging past me. 'Why slionid it do so ':' I a-ked my self, and the answer flashed through my brain in a momt'iit. "Th.; water mounted silently, gradu ally, but suivly. Many times did I feci templed to throw mv-'elt in the river ami end mv miserv. but, each time 1 re- pentid and temu iou.il v clung to the smali chance of life remaining. To bo so near freedom, add vet so far from it ! t There seemed no chance fr me. The water had now reached my neck. I i raised myself as high as possible, but ail ! to no pui'iMse, for in a few minutes the water washed my mouth. Homing up my head, I could still breathe through my nostrils, bed I knew that in a lew short minutes the rising tide would pre vent that. "(iood gracious !' I exclaimed, "how did you escape V" "J.ecause the tide was rising ! "Yes, it was too true. Lvcry step I look convinced mo that this was the CiisC. "Light again !

I reached and mounted upon it. but w-as it not after all. 1 asked myself, but prolonging my suffering ? "I closed my eyes, and made sure that death was inevitable. As 1 did so I ' received a violent blow. That blow saved my life or. rather, the cause of the blow, for I had been hit bv a large piece of floating timber, which the tide i was carrying up the sewer. In an in I stant I clutched it w ith the despair of a i drowning man, and found my head once I more alove the water. '"Slowly the wood to which I clung I drifted up the Iark vault.
