WAS IT WORTH A LEG?
It was in the autumn of the year
1782, that a surgeon in Boulogne, of
the name Etienne Lefebvre, received
a letter, not bearing any signature, re
questing him to repair on the follow
ing day to a country house which was
situated on tlio road leading to Calias,
and to bring along such instruments
as would be required lor pertorming
an operation. Leftibvre was at that
period well-known as a. distinguished
and successful operator ; so much so,
that be was not uutrequently sent lor
from great distances, lie had served
for a considerable time in the navy,
and his manners had, therefore, ac
quired a certain degree of bluntness;
but when you once Decame acquainted
with him, you could not help liking
him for tne natural and unaffected
goodness of his heart.
He was naturally somewhat sur
prised at this anonymous communica
tion ; for, although the time and place
were, as already " stated, mentioned
with great minuteness, there was no
clue afforded by which the writer could
bo identified, fie, therefore, came to
the conclusion that some of his jocular
friends were making fun of bim, and
he did not keep the appointment.
Three days afterwards he again re
ceived a similar summons, but couched
in more pressing terms than the first,
and he was informed that at 9 o'clock
in the morning a carriage would be
sent to bring hi in to the place where
he was anxiously expected. Accord-iDgly.-rext
morning, sure enough, on
the stroke of 9, a carriage drove tin to
his door. The doctor no longer made
any hesitation, but at once took bis
seat in the carriage. As be was get
ting in, he inquired of the coachman
where be was to be taken to ; but the
man appeared either not to know, or
did not choose to tell ; but as bespoke
in English, Lefebvre said to himself,
"So it ia an Englishman to whom I am
summoned, and he acsordingly pre
pared nimseu iar any exnioiuon oi
m i" lit 1 V M.liT
eccentricity on the part ot one oi that
nation which even how is so little un
derstood by Continentals. At length
the carriage stopped, and the doctor
hastened into the house.
He was received at the entrance by
a fine-looking young man of about
twenty-five years ol age. who requested
him to walk into a large and hand
some room on the first floor. His ac
cent showed him to bean Englishman
The following conversation then ensued
between them:
"You have sent for tne, said the
doctor.
I am very much obliged to you for
the trouble you have taken in coming
here." rejoined the Englishman. "Be
so good as to scat yourself at the table
where you ww nnd chocolate, conee,
or wine, in case yon would like to par
take of anything before commencing
the operation."
"But first Bhow me the patient. I
wish to satisfy myself that an operation
is absolutely necessary."
It is necessary. Monsieur Lefebvre :
pray bo seated. I have entire confi
dence in you ; only listen to me. Here
is a purse containing 100 guineas,
which I offer you as a fee for the ope
ration you are asked to perform, no
matter what the result may be. Hi
case of your refusing compliance with
rov request, you see this pistol. It is
loaded, and you are in my pewer. As
I hope for Balvation, I will blow your
braius out..
Sir, lam not to be deterred from
doing whai i consider proper ny any
fear of a pistol. But what do you de
sire? What ara I expected to do?"
"You must cut my right leg off.
"With all my heart," answered the
surgeon, thinking that this was ft char
acteristic specimen of those mad Eng
lish ; and your hand, also, it necessary
or desirable. However, unless I am
greatly mistaken, your leg is perfectly
sound- I saw you walk down stairs
with the greatest activity. v hat can
be tlv matter with your leg ?"
"Nothing ; but it must come oil.
"Sir, you are mad."
That is no concern of yours, Mons.
Tfebvre."
"What harm can that handsome
limb have done?"
"None at all: still vou must make
un vnur mind 10 amputate u.
. . . i ; i
"Sir, 1 have no acquaintance wuu
vou ; give roe some prooi mat jruu am
!n sound mind." naturally demanded
ihn doctor.
'Will vou consent to my wisiies,
. .
Mousieur Lefebvre?"
"As soon as you can assign any ad
equate or reasonable motive for so un
necessary an u mauuu.
"I caunot at present enter into auy
explanations iu a year, perhaps,
will do so. Hut l will uei you, bit,
that then vou will acknowledge that
my reasons for my present seemingly
extravagant conduct are most pure,
manly, and noble, and even rational.
"It is quite impossible for me," re
monstrated the surgeon, "to comply
until you tell me your name, place of
Jesidence, position and family."
"You shall be made acquain te with
all these particulars at some future,
time, but not at present. I begyou to
consider me a man of honor." .
"A man of honor does not utter un
justifiable threats against his guests.
I have to perform a duty even towards
you who are a stranger to mo. My
reasons for refusing to accede to your
absurd request are, a3you must admit,
sound and just. Do you wish to be
the murderer of an innocent father of
a large family ?"
"Well, Monsieur Lefebvre, replied
the Englishman, takiDg up the pistol,
'I will not firo upon you, and yet I
will compel you to cut off this leg.
What you refuse to do to oblige., me,
through love of gain or fear of a bul
let, vou shall do through humanity."
How so, sir r
I intend to shatter my leg with this
pistol, and that, too, before your eyes,"
anewered the Englishman, who accord
ingly seated himself, cocked the pis
tol, and then took - deliberate aim at
his knee-joint.
Lefebvre rushed forward to prevent
him, but the Englishman coolly ex
claimed:
"Do not como near : if you do I Ere.
Now only answer me this question : Do
J'ou wish to prolong my suffering need
essly ?"
"Sir, you are mad, answered the
doctor, in despair; "but have your
own way I am ready to do as you
wish."
Everyth'hg was ready for tho ope
ration. As soon as the doctor took up
his instruments the Englishman lignt
ed bis cigar, and declared that ha
would smoke until tho operation was
concluded. He kept bis vord. The
lifeless lez rested upon tho floor but
the Englishman smoked on, Tho op
eration had been performed ia a liost
masterly manner, Rr.d, thanks to L'r,
Lefebvre 8 skill and attention, tho pa-4
tient Boon became perfect!? recovered,
although, of course, he had to be sup'
plied with a wooden leg. He reward
ed tbe surgeon, whom Tie had learned
to esteem more and more every day ;
thanked him with tears in his eyes for
the great obligation under which he
had laid bim ; and in a Bhort time
started for England.
About two months after his patient's
departure the surgeon received the fol
lowing letter trom Lngiad
Inclosed you will reeive a token of
mv boundless gratitude a bill of ex
change on ray banker in Paris for
6.500 francs. You hve rendered me
the happie3t of men by ridding me of
a limb which was au obstacle in the
way of my happiness. Learn then, the
reason of what yoivterraed ray mad
ness. You aseured me that there coulc:
be no justifiable excuse for so singular
a mutilation. I offered you a wager,
and I think you were right in refusing
it. After my second return lrotn the
East Iudies I became acquainted wicb
Susan Black, the most accoinpli6ho
and fasciuating of women. I sought
her hand in marriage. Her fortune
and family were such as met with the
entire approbation of my parents. As
for me, 1 thought only ot her charms
I was soon happy enough to gain he
affections, a fact which she did not
attempt to deny ; but she, at the sanfe
time firmly refused to become my wifo.
In vain did I beseech her to do so ; in
.... i.? n -I
vam din ncr relations uu second my
desire, one was inllexible. bor a
long time I could not discover the rea
son of her opposition to a marriage
which she herself confessed woulu mako
her happy ; until at last, one of her
sister3 revealed tho fatal 6ccrct to rue.
Susan was a marvel of beauty, but she
was so unfortunate as to have lost a
leg, and Bho had consequently cou
demned herself to eternal celibacy.
My rtsolution was quickly formed, and
I determined to becomo like her.
Thanks to you. my dear Lefebvre, my
wishes were soon aocompiisnca. l re
turned with my wooden leg to Lon
don. I hastened to gain information
of Miss Black. The report had beeu
spread, and I myself had taken care
to write to my friends in England to
the same effect, that J had the misfor
tune to fracture my leg, aud that ara
putation had beeu found absolutely
necessary. Every one expressed the
greatest concern at my niisfoJtuue.
Susan faiuted ou the occasion of my
first presenting myself. She was for
a long time inconsolable, but at length
she consented to become my wifo. It
was only on the morning after our
marriage that I confessed to her the
sacrifice by which I had at length been
enabled to gain her consent to be mine.
The avowal increased her love. Oh!
my excellent friend, had I ten legs to
lose. I would give them all up for the
sake of my beloved Susau. bo long as
I live, rely on my gratitude. If ever
von visit Euclaud, do not fail to come
Lere, so that I may make you acquaint
pd with mv wifo: aud tireu tell me
whether or not I was out of my senses
Yours faithfully,
Artuur Ox ley.
Mous. Lefebvre answered tho loltcJ
of his English friend in the following
terms:
Sir : Accept my best thanks for
your very generous present fof so I
must term what you have sent me, hav
ing been previously magnificently re
munerated for my trouble, as you were
pleased to term it. I wish you, as well
as your charming wife, all imaginable
appiness. I rue it is that to give a
;g in exchange for a beautiful, tender
and virtuous wife is not too much, pro
vided tho happiness endures. Adam
6acnhced one ot his ribs to become
possessed of our common mother Eve,
and more than one man lias laid down
lis life for the sake of his beloved.
Notwithstanding all 'this, allow me to
adhere to my former opinion. For
the present you are doubtless right,-
tor you are now in tho honeymoon-;
rbut at 8omb future tinio you will ack
nowledge the truth of what I advanced.
beg your attention to what I am
about to say. I fear that in two years
you will repent of having had your
eg amputated above the knee-ioint.
You will think that to have it cut low
er down would have been quite suffi
cient. In three years you will be per
suaded that the sacrifice of a foot would
have answered all purposes ; iu four,
that of the big toe ; in five, the little
one ; and, at last, vou will have con
fessed that to have parted with a nail,
without necessity, would have been a
piece of egregious folly. All this I
assert without in the slightest degree
npugning the merit of your admirable
helpmate. In my own youthful days
1 would have, at any time given my
life for my mistvess, but never my leg,
for tho rest of my days. Had I really
done ?o, I should hav9 every moment
said to myself, "Lefebvre, . ycu are a
madman. With highest cousidera
tiou, yours very obediently,
Ivtienke Le?ebvre.
In the year 1793, during the Reign
of Terror, the surgeon of Boulogne,
having been accused ot being an ans
tocrat by one of his younger profes'
sional brethren who envied him his
practice, was obliged to take refuge in
London, in order to save his neck from
the guillotine. Being without employ
ment or acquaintances, be Inquired for
the residence of his former patient,
Mr. Oxley. He was directed to it, and
on arriving at the house he sent up his
name, and was immediately admitted
In a huge arm-chair, seated before the
fire, with a bottle of wine beside him,
sat a portly personage, whose size was
so great that it was with difficulty he
could rise to welcome his visitor
"Welcome, Monsieur Lefebvre," ex'
claimed the huge Englishman. "Do
not be offended' at my receiving you
in this manner, but my cursed wooden
leg won t allow mo to do anything
You have come, no doubt, my friend,
to see if in the long run you were not
right"
"I am a fugitive, seeking an asylum
among you
"You shall stay with me, for you are
really a wise man. You will console
"me. Do you know, my dear Lefebvre,
that, had it not been lor this abomin

I should bv this time have been Ad-

reading the newspapers, aud iu curses

"Your charming wife can doubtless
do that better than 1 can.
"Oh, as for that, no. Her wooden
leg prevents her from gadding about
and dancing ; so she has, as a resource,
given herself up to cards and Bcandal.
There is no possibility of living alone
with her : in-other respects suo is a
good enough woman."
"What, was 1 right, then r exclaim
