Mr. Riley immediately started up College Street, which, all the world is aware, rang norther ly to the Canal Railroad, where it changes to Prospect Street and goes off in a half wild state up country. At the end of Col lege Street we left the city behind us, struck the rail track, forsook that presently for a desert sort of a road known asCanal Street, and kept on in a northwesterly direction for half s utile Lsrther.

Finding that there was no stopping him, I followed, in obedience, perhaps, to. that great and no doubt beneficent, but as yet uaexpleined, inseinee which muses sheep to leap after their beliweather. We were in a Mimi-merit, or semi-subterranean steiry. I felt the walls of a narrow passage tin either side of tine, and can swear to a kitchea near by, for I smelt its cooking range.

Presently I overtook the Doctor's coat tails again, and found that they were ascending a staircase. At the top of the stairs was a door, and on the other side of the door was a room, the uses' of whirls I won't undertake to swear to, for I never saw it. although I was in it longer than I wanted to be. Ail I know is that it seemed to be as full of chairs, and tables, and sofas, and sideboards, and stoves, and.trickets, as if it had been a shop for secrietthand furniture. 1 was just rubbing my shins after an encounter with a es markably solid object, nature uncertain, when somebody near me fell over some thing aid) a crash and a groan.

This I seemed to encourage the individuals who I were having a rough-and-tumble on the ! carpet. for they commenced roaring simul- I taneously.••llelp' murder! thieves , . firer! ! without, however, relaxing hostilities for a moment. The next pleasant incident was a pistol shot. the ball of which whizzed so near my head that it made me dodge, although I had not the least notion who fired it or whom it was aimed at Female sereams and masculine shouts now sounded from various directions. Thinking that I had done all the good in my power, I conclud ed to get out of this confusion ; but either the doorway by which we entered had sud denly walled itself up, or else I had lost my reckoning; for, stumble where I would, feel about as I would. I could not find it. I did, indeed, come to an opening in the wall, but there was uu staircase the other side of it, and it simply introduced me to another invisible apartment. I had no chance to reflect upon the matter and de cide of my own free will whether I would go in or not. A sudden - rush of fighting, howling persons swept me along, Jammed me against a pillar, pushed me over a ta ble, and forced me toin • furious struggle. exceedingly l a rt a w itle ard by reason of the darkness and the extraordinary amount of furniture. A tremendous punch in the side of the head upset me and made me lose my temper.

I hope sincerely that this suffering individual was Mr. Johni ac ffile7 ; but, from the rotundity of h which 1 bestrode, I very much feat that it was the Doctor. All this time the house resounded with outcries of. **Who's there I" "What's the matter?" "father I" "Henry !" "Jenny!" "Maria!"- "Thieves!" "Murder!" "Police!" and so forth.

The in dividual made no movement, and I did not stai:o count his or her pulses. Without g disposed to take my oath on the matter, I rather suspect that a negro serv ant girl had fainted away there in the act of trying to run off in her night gown. Up stairs I tumbled, resolved to get upon the roof and slide down the lightning-rod, or else jump from a window Pushing open a door, which I fell against, I found myself in a pretty little bedroom lighted by a single candle, articles of female costume imagitag across chairs and scattered over drewing-tables, while on the floor, just as she had swooned in her terror, lay a blonde girl of nineteen or twenty, pale as marble. but beautiful. Right through my alarm jarred a throb of aungled self-reproach and pity and admiration. I tossed a pile of bedclothes over her, kissed the long, light brown hair which rippled on the straw matting.darenwotyped the face on my memory wit a glance, blew out the light, opened a window, and slipped out of it.

Supposing hips to be one of our reserve force, I quietly suffered him to lead me forward, and was on the point of whispering my name, when my eye caught a glimmer of metal, and I knew th‘t I was in the hands of a police man.

The story is yet unwritten. I will endeavor to present it. briefly Less than a semi-decade ago, there might have beers seen in our city, seated at some public corn er of a crowded street, a young, poorly clad Italian woman, with a small, rosy-fseed. black-eyed child in her arms. Beneath dishelved hair and a sun-burnt face, could be discerned lineaments of beauty, height ened into sympathetic attraction by the sweet smile of innocence. Tho' the gar ments of both mother and infant were owns* and tattered, yet cleanliness and an air of neatness alvilos told that a careful hand adjusted them. Day after day, vagina far into evening shades, passed. giving place to new morrows, and stall this apparently for saken pilgrim of the Italian clime, sat at her post amid the moving, busy throng, mod estly begging a sustenance for herself and tender offspring.

The sequel, however, has re cently come to my knowledge. &wieder, ago there appeared in our metropolis an opulent Southern merchant. He came to purchase goods and pay cash for a bill of several thousand dollars. "Who is my strange though fortunate customer 1" in- . quired the gentleman with whom he dealt.
