Image which the cl.l Dane's eye held ot the wolf’s nose ud teeth, and—Wiro knows?—perhaps it is possiblo to ask ot dead rutin’s eye the secret, of What it w when living. ” This was put la snore scientific terms by the young Danish doctor, the s*b stance < f whst Dun .tdet believed pos sible. The Toeing tnnn h*4 listen**! with the tttrractivo sympathy Which is rfin played when anything novel is expiate ed. Rigid upon the warble slub, the Victim' seemed to wait for tile result of til® discussion, doaf to nil the confused sounds about him, his eye fivctl upos the infinite, upon the unknowable which he now kaew. It vaa, however, this insensibht body which had caused tlw discussion of what we? an enigma to savants. Wbut Was the secret of his end, tire last word of his ftgony? Who made that Wound which had ended his life? And, like a statue lying on its stows vouch, the murdered iua seemed to Wait. What they knew not he knew. What, they wilted to know he still kUow perhaps. This doubt alone, rooted deep in M. Ginory'a mind, was enough to urge him to have the experiment tried, and ex cusing himself for his infatuation he begged M. Mcrfu to grant peraieeion to try the expert man t, which some of the doctors hod thought would be woe restful. “Wo bU be relieved even if wo do toot succeed, and wo can but add out defeat to the others.” M. Morin’s face still boro it* skeptic al enrile. Rut, after ill!, the examining magistrate was master of the situation, and since young Dr. Erwin brought the result of the Denmark contribution new in those researches-*- to add weight to the matter Hie pro fessor requested that he should not bo asked to lend himself to a experiment which lie declared its advance wcnld be 6 perfectly useless one. Thera was a photographic apparatus tt the mos-gow, a* at the prefetiutv, \ used for anthropometry. Bernardet, 1 moreover, had l’.is kodak in his hand. Duo could photograph tbo retina n soon as the membrane was separated from tllo eye by the autopsy and when, like tlio Wing of a butterfly, it bad be. it fastened to a piece of cork. And, while Bernardet was accustomed to ail tho j horrors of crime, yet ho felt his heart. ; beat almost to suffocation during this operation. He notioed that M. Ginory became very pale and that he bit his lipa, east ing occasional pitying glances toward tho dead man. On the contrary, the young men bent over tfc* body and studied it with tho admiral ion aud joy *f noasurv motors digging in a mine. Each human liber (waned to reveal to them some now troth. They wore like jewelers before, a casket full of gems, r.ud what they studied, weighed, exam ined, was n human corpse and those eyes, living, terrible, 'accusing, when they were removed, leaving behind them two empty orbits. The professor sudden ly spoko With marvelous eloquence, flowing and picturesque, as if he were speaking of works of art. And it was. !u truth, a Work of art, this wonderful mechanism whicll in! explained to his students, who listened eagerly to eaeli Word. It was a work of art, this eye, with its sclerotic, us tr^i-yewrit cornea, Its aqueous and vitreous humor, its crystalline loos r.ad the retina, like a photographio plate in that Hack cham ber in which the iuniiuiicr rays reflect, 1 reversed, tllo objects seen. And M. 1 Morin, holding between his fr.igrts the object which he was dauortMltntm!?, spoke of the membrane formed of d's-:if3 had cf tho terminal element-, of tho optio hen e as a professor of painting rr of roulpturo speaks cf n gem chitted by a Benvenuto. “Tito human tody Da marvel, "cried M. Morin, “a marvel, lucssKur*!" And bo held forth for sev. r.tl min ufe* upon !i?a wonderful construction of this mttf* Vel. Ills enthusiasm was shared, mere over, by the young men and Dr. Erwin, who listened intently. IJrVuurdct, ig norant and respectful, felt tronldo in the presence <:f this renowned physiolo gist :md congratulated himself that it Was ho who had Insisted on this experi ment and caused a member of the insti tute to hold forth thus. As for Al. Gi nory, ho left the room a moment, feel ing the need of air. The operation, Which tho enrgeens prolonged with joy. Made hint ill, and he felt very faint. IXa quickly recovered, however, and re turned to the dissecting room so us w 4 to lose any of tho explanation which M. Morin was giving as he stood with the eye iu his hand. And iU that eye air image remained perhups. He was atu lotw to search for it, to find It. "I will take It upon myself, ” Iloruaf det said.

Hi* wife naked him, "Art thou ill?” He re sponded, ”No. 1 think not.” And his llttia girls mid to each Other in low tones, “Pupa is on a trail. ” Ho wes in truth. The hunting dog smelled tho scent The pictures which ho had ’.iken of tho retiun and had de veloped showed a result sufficiently clear tJr Berirardftt to feel con Mont enough to tell his chief that he dis tinctly saw ft visage, the face of a man, confused, no doubt, but clcftf enough to recognise not only a type, but a distinct typo. As from tlie depths of a cloud, in • sort of white halo, a hitman face ap peared whose feature* could bo fUst'fict ly soon with a magnifying glass—the face of a man with a pointed black beard, tho forehead a little Wild, and blackish spots which indicated tlie eyes. It was only a phantom evidently, and the photographer at the prefecture seamed more moved than Bernardet by the proofs obtained. Olentvr than in spirit photographs, which so many cred ulous people believe in, tho imago showed plainly, and in studying it one oonld distinctly follow the contours. A specter, perhaps, but the specter of n man who was Still young and resem bled, with his pointed beard, some trooper of the sixteenth century, a phan tom of some Seigneur Clouet. ‘‘For example,” said the official pho tographer, “If one could di*yrYer a mur derer by photographing a dead man’s eyes, this would be miraculous. It is Incredible!” “Not mom incredible,” Bernardet replied, “than what the papers publish. Ediion is experimenting m making-the blind see by using the R'.-ntgen rays There is a miracle. ” Then Bernardet took his proofs to M Giuory.

He made him see—after some mo ments of minute examination—ho made him see that face. “It is true—there is *n imago there., ’' exclaimed M. Giuory He added: "Is it plain enough for me to soe it so that I cau from it imagine tt living being? I see tho form, divined it at first, saw it clearly defined after ward. At first it seemed very vague but I find it sufficiently well defined so that I can see each feature, but without any special character. Oh," continued M. Ginory excitedly, rubbing his plump little hands, "if it was only possible, if it was only possible! What a mar vel I” “It In possible, M. la Jr.go. Have faith,” Bernardet replied. "I swear to you that it is possible. ” This ontum.i amn gained over the examining magis trate. Bernardet had found a fellow sympathizer in his fantastic ideas. M. Giucry was how —if only to try tho ex periment*—.resolved to direct tho saves- "It is f tut — there fs anUnntp: there,” cr claimed M. Gintrfy. tigaiion on this plan.

Giuory did not call them as soon as they wished that he would. They thought of tliolf homo, which while they were detained there Would be invaded by the curious, the gossips and reporters. "How slow these judges are!" growled Moutebe. When he was condnctod into the presence of M. Giuory and life registrar ftnd seated upon a chair, be was much confused and less bitter. He felt a Vague terror of all the paraphernalia of justice which surrounded him. He felt that ho was running some great danger, and to the judge's questions he replied with extreme prudence. Thanks to him and his wife M. Ginory found out a great deal about M. Rovere’* privote life. He penetrated into that apparently ! hidden existemxs; he searched to soe if he could discover among the people ! who had visited the old ex-cousnl the tins among all others Who might have ! eommittod the deed. “Yon never saw the woman who vis ited lit Wove?" j "Yes; tho veiled lady, the Women in black, but Ido not know her. No cue knew her.” The story told by the portress a hour the time when she surprised the :-tra:i ger and Rovere with the papers in his hand in front v.f the open safe made quite an impression on the examining magistrate. “Do yon know the came of the visit or?” “No, monstettt, ” tho portress replied. “But if yihi should see him again Would y.ru recognize him?” “Certainly. I see his face there be fore me.” She made haste to return to her home so that she might relate her impression* to her fellow gossips.
