A MYITKKY.

I am a physician, and among my patient* was ihe wife of a decretal army officer. Her ailment was a cose of nervous debility. She had, so to speak, a genius for nervouaneSB ; her body, like 1 her soul, vibrated ut a touch, like a delicate stringed instrument under a skil- 1 ful master b hand. She was an excellent wife aud site adored a second husband, whom she married soon after the 1 death of the general, whose title the world continued to give her. I She worshipped the last husband, but, unfortunately, the unworthy scamp— 1 much younger thau his wife— in no way deeerv«xl the self-sacrificing ten- 1 denies* and loving solicitude with I which she treated him. Whenever and I wherever an inducement offered, he stole away from an elegant home, and j spent the night as well as his wife's , in dissipation. I } The wife** sorrow and despair were y boundless, all the more as the frivolous youth, who had every reason to avoid y un open rupture, knew how to preserve , apjiearHUcea with an Inexluiuxtible store , of indisputable evasions and excuses. . He lied and cheated with the thorough y and untiring attentiou of a nun to L whom fraud and artifice yielded a yearly income of many thousands. Thus she was absolutely unable to get any proof . of his infidelity. Nevertheless, her un- | erring instinct told her that her lius- , band deceived ber aud was unfaithful, , a thought which sufficed to entirely un- , settle her highly nervous organization. Moreover, she put his different statements together and discovered little J contiadictions — discrepancies. Then the poor woman shed bitter tears and . sobbed in heart-breaking fashion, and , became so miserable that site was not ashamed, under the circumstances, U> , consult me, tier family physician and trusted adviser. At first I strove to ( Aim her in the usual way, by fibbing. Hut, alas! I soon saw these innocent expedients were not sufficient. 80 the general** wife often sat for hours in my study, crying and wringing her hands with incessant grief. One day she sat on the sofa, her head buried in ber hands, groaning and moaning in agony of soul. Without design, beyond trying 10 soothe her, 1 smoothed ber forebead several times with my hand, and saw, to my great surprise, the sobbing woman become quiet, involuntarily let her hands fall to her side, draw regular breaths and soou fall into a deep sleep. My astonishment merged into Joy. for the poor* woman with her grief bad become a little troublesome. Therefore 1 ordered my servant to roll the sofa on which she slumbered into the next room. After a while 1 awakened her by blowing in her face, ami told her she had slept. "Ah.*1 she answered, "that has done a world of good. 1 fee), indeed, tliat tou are right, doctor. Probably 1 have been a fool to suspect my good husband. • ' She gratefully pressed my hand ami .departed, hopefully smiling. About a month afterward the coupe of the general's wife stopped again before my door, and the poor lady sat with weeping eyes in my study. Renewed groans, renewed tears, I told ber to go to the little room. I made the same passes lightly over her brow as on the former occasion, and she slept again in a moment. Again she awoke in a calmer state, and liastoned to her hunlauid. She repeated the call quite frequently. Qpe day the general's wife chine to me unusually agitated, and confessed with tears that her husband had not cocnc home the previous night. My office hours were nearly over; my waiting room was thronged. I gently led her into the little room, put her to sleep as usual, locked the door and went back to xny studies. My servant brought an urgent dispatch. A Brazilian prince was dangerously 111; a surgical operation must be performed, and they honored me with a request that 1 should perform it. The steamer would leave Bordeaux next morning. To catoh the night train 1 must start at ouoe. 1 excused myself to my patient*. I quickly packed all the necessary instruments and books, bought a ticket, 1 and soon left Paris far behind. The train was lata; the steamer was 1 waiting tor us. I was scarcely on dec k before the .signal for departure was sounded and we were moving. 1 went at once to my cabin, unpacked my sei- - entitle works and koet myself in read1 i«g. I thought of the great honor fal- ; ten to my sharp, and alternated between hope and fear as to the of W»e 1 operation. Weaned wlte tlte day h ex 1 citement, I went to sleep and did not I wake till morning. 1 went on deck The eapfcd" approached me. » "We ssrm to have ooaae a good way, I I rartain?'1 TFoui hundred mltae," washtsan*

"And where du you intend to sloj> 011 the ws>?" "Nowhere. We g«» direct to Ilio de Janeiro. A thirty-six day*' voyage lie* before us." A Htcaxuer went much nlower in those day* than now. "Thirty-six day*?" 1 cried mechanically. "No trifle thai, captain; u long time— a very long tune, indeed." 1 looked thoughtfully At the play of the waves. A dark preMcutiiiienl suddenly troubled uie. It hociiimI to me as if 1 had forgotten some tiling. But wliat could 1 lia>e forgotten?" What— what bad slipped my mind ? Suddeuly 1 groaned aloud. Like lightning it had flashed through my head. The general '* wife! I had forgotten the general's wife- -the general's wife in a complete catalepsy — the general's wife locked iu a little room winch my |>copte never entered, the key of which 1 ho/1 earned with me. "Captain," I cried, lifting my hand* imploringly, "I must instantly send a telegram." Tlie captain took two swift atej» Mile wise and fixed hi* eye* on me in a singular way. He evideutly believed that 1 lu»d suddenly gone crazy. "1 must— 1 liiusl telegraph, captain," I insisted. "I have foigoltuu the general1* wife, captain— tlie general's wife, who b asleep. Do you hear, caj>tain? fc>he b asleep." "In the devil's name, what do you mean?" cried the captain, impatiently. "If you left her asleep she must have awakened by tlib time." He turned lib buck, laughing hoarsely, and on>red two sailors not to lose sight of me. 1 need not say wliat a terrible day 1 mated. Sleeping or waking, 1 always saw the dreadful picture or the poor w oman, sunk iu sleep, lying on the sofa from which she could never rise. In wliat a state I found myself on the thirty-sixth day it would not l>e easy for you to imagine. At last Rio de Janeiro was in sight. 1 threw luy*elf iuto a boat, sprung ashore aud ran tlie telegraph office. "Break open door of small room ; wake up general '* wife." When the dissipated husband of tlie general's wife discovered tliat she, too, had been out all night, he gave the matter no more thought tliau 10 use the favorable opportunity for another carousal. "Is madauie home yet?" he nonchalantly asked the porter, as he returned the second morning. 4 'No. air," replied the porter. The affair (lid not trouble him, but it lwgan to appear strange. The third day went by and the fourth came, and no sign of tlie general's wife. Her husband became uneasy, lie seut to her relatives in the country. They liad not seen her for years The young man's disquietude increased from hour to hour. Hie fifth day he informed the police. Their search was in vain. It was found tliat she had been to me that day, but they could go 110 further. Hundreds of patient* daily went in and out of my office, in at one door and out at another, which ojieued directly on the stairs. My people could not remember about her, the police couid not think or searching my rooms, neither did it occur to my servant to force open tlie small room since I frequently locked it when I wanted to guard some valuable object of Interesting study. 80 the disappearance of Ihe general 's wife remained an pnaolvablc riddle. One believes when one wishes. 80, when four days were passed, the husband was convinced his wife would never return. He said to himself, with a certain painful satisfaction: "The poor thing has killed herself. From love of me. no doubL" According to tlie marriage contract tlie wife's wealth uow belonged to him. A skilful lawyer at once arranged everything. Tlie young widower inaugurated lib monarchy by making such alterations in the stately old house as his somewhat loud taste dictated. Hi* wife's boudoir was changed into a smoking-room. In place of the dining - room a museum of weapons appeared. Tlie small blue parlor served as a billiard- room. The carriage in which the feofndl wife used to ride afternoons was sold and replaced by a yellow English dog-cart. She had prided herself upon simple, unostentatious livery; Iter widower dressed his servant* in red, gold-embroidered uniform. One evening my servant wa* called to the door by a at Out stranger suffering from drojkAj , Woo want el inc. to cure him. Just as lie was about to say 1 luul not been in Parte over a mouth, u tiHvuenger ran up the Maps aud Iiandod him a dispatch. My servant read, turned polo and cried: "(Juick, quick! Break open the dooi of the little room. *' Tlie dropsical man wa* so frightened at the outcry thai he fell in a swoon. Without troubling himself my "servant rau through the stud > , put his shoulder U) Uie door of Uie inner room and burtt it in. On Uie aafk lay Uie general's wife covered with a thick layer of dust. Under the ooaibiued influence 'of tears, rice powder and dust, her face, never pretty, had gained the look of a caricature, Bbe was on awful sight. My M t v ant was familiar with the myaterie* ut catalepsy, so he wasted no time in blowing strongly in her face. Nbe was not dead, bat of oouree, much emactelod. At last she opened hor eyes ami made a motion as if she would have dried her tears. "Dear daatat," aaki she in a weak voice, ,4I feM • liUte encouraged 1 bolteya 1 have wronged my husband, lie his really passed tha night at the club. 1 will hasten U> embrace him."

She aruec and went to Uie door. M > servant was so excited .that no word loaned his lips. She pa&sed through the study . When the dropsical patient, who had just recovered consclousneu*, caught sight of her, he cried in horror: "Is this tin* state in which patient* come out of the private room ?" and fled a* fast a* he could. The house of Uie lady was not fai from mine. She hurried home. At the door she stopped in Wondei. Wa* she awake? This could not j-«* iblv be her plAin house The vestibule was decorated with gay frescoes ; a coufuHioii of glaring escutcheons and bizarre flowers. Speechless with amazement she went up stairs intending to pass through the small blue parlor to her boudoir. Tlie re was neither little blur parlor nor boudoir. In one wa* a billiard Lible ; in the other a collection of pipe*. Tlie general's wife sank into a chair to collect her confused thought*. Suddeuly she arose, she could hear voices near by. Laughter and hinging met her ear. She hurried to a portiere quickly and resolutely lifted it. Horrible! Her husband sat with some ladies at a richly spread table. The sit vant at a glimpse of the general's wife, who seemed to have risen from her grave, let his plate and diah fall. The women fled wiUi frightful shriek*; while the supposed widower, who luul drunk a little more than was necessary, flung himself on his knees, and deathly pale, stammered. "It is her spirit. Forgive me." "Leave Uie house," cried Uie general's wife. "Lackey*, you know your true mistress : chase this unworUiy w retell from the house. " Tlie servant*, who from fear, had kept aloof, obeyed her command. As Uie surely troubled woman with great satistaction watched them execute lier orders, she saw my servant who had followed her unobserved. "What has happened?" she asked. "Madame, "ruy servant replied, "you have slept for five weeks." *4Oh, fool Uial 1 have been," she cried with a deep groan. "When one ha* slept for so long a period, one should never awake."
