MYSTERIOUS STORY t
The following story was related by Gene
ral Hulun,] in the winter of 1810-17, one
evening at Sir Sidney Smith's, in Paris. The
General stated that ho bad it from Marshal
Junut. Duke of A bra tiles, who was govern
or of Paris ut the time it happened, and must
therefore, necessarily Imvo been well ac
quainted with all the circumstances attending
it.
In tho year 1805, aa a poor mason was re
turning oue Gvooing from his daily labors, ho
was met in an obscure street in Paris by
well dressed man whose face he did not re
member to have aoflu before but who stopped
him, and inquired of him to what trade ho
belonged. On being answered that he wn3 n
mason, the mao said, that if he would wail
up a certain niche which would be shown to
him, he should receive as his reward-filly
louis d’ors. Tbe stronger added, that lie
muBt submit to have bis eyas covered and to
be carried in that state for a considerable dis
tance. To all this the mason readily con
sented, partly from curiosity, and partly fintn
tbe grefttoeb* of the reward! offered to him
for so inconsiderable a work. The stran
ger immediately placed a ^bandage ovui
bis eyes, and having led him by the bund
for a few paces, iboy came to the spot
whore a carriage wailed fur them, into
which tbev both got, and it drove rapid
ly off. They soon got out of Paris;—at
least so the uiasou conjectured, from the
noise of the wheel* going over stone»
having ceased. After having proceeded
thus lbr about two hours, tbe rattling of the
stones returned, aod they seemed to the mo-
son to have cutered another town ; shortly
after which they stopped, and the mason was
taken out of the carriage and led through
several passages, and up a flight of stairs, nil
they came to a place where ho heard the
sound of voices.
Hero l»is eyes were uncovered, and he
found himself in a largo room, the walls, roof,
and floor of which were entirely hung with
black cloth, excepting a niche on one side,
which was left open. By the side of it wero
placed a considerable quantity of stones and
mortar, together with ail the tools necessary
for the work upon which the mason waa to
be employed.
There were also several men in the room,
whose faces wero covered with maskB. Oue
of theso came up to the mason, and address
ing himself to him, said’’Here are tho 50
louts-d’ors which wero promised yon : and
there is only one condition to bo exacted
from you, which is, that you must never men
tion to any person what you may see or bear
in this place." This the mason promised ;
and at this instant another man, who was also
masked, entered the room, and demanded if
all was ready. Upon being answered in tbe
affirmative, ho went out, anil relumed again
in a few minutes with two other men, both
masked, and one of whom, from the white
ness of his hair the mason supposed lo be an
old man. '
These three dragged in with them a very
beautiful young woman, with her hair dis
hevelled, and her whole appearance betoken
ing great disorder. They pushed her ivith
great violence towards the niche, into which
