am about to relate, it was, above all,
the preceding and attending circum
stances that impressed me. I will give
you the facts.
I was examining magistrate at he

Among those people wero found the
most gln-iona causes for revengo that
men could dream of—secular hatreds,
appeased for a moment, but never ex

most glorious in their horror. For two
years 1 had heard of nothing but the

morning practised shooting for an
hour’or two with his pistol or rifle.
There wero many stories about him.

I thought he was jesting, and said:
“Tho chain is wholly useleis now;
the hand will not runaway.”
Ihit hr gravely replied ■
"The chain was necessary. It was
always ti ’
lways trying to get away.”
Wn.li a rapid glance I questioned his
ountcnauce, asking myself:
countenance,
“Is he a lunatic or an ugly jester?”
But his face remained impenetrable,
calm and lienevoient. I talked of
other things, and admired his guns.
I noticed that three loaded revolvers
jay on the tables, as if this man lived
m constant fear of an attack.
I visited lrim several times and then
wont there no more. People had be
come accustomed to his presence and
hall grown indifferent.
A whole year passed. Then one
morning, toward the end of November,
my servant awoke me with the an
nouncement that Sir John Rowell bad
been assassinated in the night.
Half an hour later, with the central
commissary and a captain of soldiery,
I entered the Englishman’s house.
Ilis servant, bewildered and despair
ing, was weeping before the door. I
suspected him at first, but he was in
nocent. The guilty man never could
be found.
As I entered Sir John’s sitting-room,
I saw at the first glance his body
stretched out on its back in the middle
of the floor. His waistcoat was tom,
one tom sleeve of his coat was hang
ing; all told that a terrible struggle
had taken place.
He had died of strangulation! His
terrible counteusnce, black and swol
len, seemed to express an abominable
fear; he held something between his
set teeth, and his neck, pierced in a
hundred spots, as if with iron points,
was covered with blood.
A physician joined ns. He examin
ed long and closely the marks of fing
ers in the flesh of the dead man’s
throat, and spoke these strange words:
“One would say that he had been
strangled by a skeleton.”
there. The chain hung broken.
jmn related particulars of an especial
ly liorrib'.o nature.
Then I leaned over the dead man,
and found in his distorted month one
of the fingers of that missing hand, cut,
or rather sawed off by his teeth close
to the second joint.
They proceeded to mske investiga
tions, but discovered nothing. No
dosr or window had been forced, no
article of furniture moved. The two
watch dogs had not been awakened.
The testimony of the servant could
be summed up in a few words.
His master hail seemed agitated for
a month past. He bad received and
burned many letters. Often seizing a
horsewhip, with furry that resembled
madness, lie bad lashed that dried
hand chained to the wall, which bad
been removed, no one knew how, at
the very hour of the crime.
It was his habit to retire early at
night and to lock himself in with care.
He always had weapons within his
reach. He often talked very loud in
I wished, in my capacity of examin
ing magistrate, to obtain aomodeflnito
information in regard to this man. I
could learn nothing. He gave iris
name as Sir John Rowell. I took sat
isfaction in watching him near at hand,
but no one could point out to me any
thing really auspicious about him.
Slnco, however, the rumors concern
ing lrim continued, increased, and be
came more general, I resolved to make
an attempt to ace the stranger myself.
1 began to hunt regularly in tho ncigh-
the night, as if quarreling with some
body.
That night it chanced that he bad
made no sound, and it was only on
coming to open the windows in the
morning that the servant had found
Sir John assassinated. He suspected
nobody.
I reported to the magistrates and
public officers all I knew about the
death, and a minute inqni
waited long for my opportunity,
ame finally in the shape of a part-
fe, which I shot and killed in the
borliood of his estate.

it to me. but taking the game in un
hand I went to excute my lack of good
manners and beg Sir John Rowell to
accept the bird.
He was a large man, with red hair
and beard, very tall and very robust, a
sort oi placid and polished Hercules.
He had nothing of the so-called British
stillness, and ho thanked me cordially,
speaking with a sir.,no Knglith accent,
for my scrupulousness. At tho end of
a month we had talked fiveor six tirae-i
together. ■
Due evening as I was passing his
door I saw lrim in his garden smoking
his pipe, astridoof a chair, I saluted
him, an-l ho invited me in to take a
glass of beer with him. I did not wait
to lie asked twice. ■
Hi racetredme with scrupulous Eng-
lisli comtesy, eulogized France and
Corsica, and declared that he was
warmly attached to that country and to
that (-articular portion of the coast.
I then, with great caution and under
the guise of a very lively personal inte
rest, ventured a few questions regard
ing his life. He replied without em
barrassment, telling me that he had
traveled extensively in Africa, India
and America, and tin
many adventures.
I then returned to the subject of the I
chase, and lie gave me many of the
most curious details in regard to hunt
ing the hippopotamus, the tiger, tho
elrphant and even tho gorilla. ■
I remarked that all all tin
wi re formidable.
He smiled.
“Oli, no; man is the moat terrible.”
He laughed outright with a hearty,
contented English laugh, as he furhter
infonned mo:

was discovered.
One night, about three months after

horrible band, running like a scorpion
or spider over my curtains and walls.
Three times I awoke, and three times
on going to sleep again I saw the hide

moving its lingers like feet.
The next day It was brought to me.

As we entered the ball-room the
“Scilian Circle” had the floor. It was
going briskly and blithely on, when
anddenly tbe chief floor-manager called
out, “Whoa!” In an instant pipe and
tabor ceased their Arcadian toolings
and every dancer whoaed as docilely as
a thoroughly trained circus. The pause
thus introduced was intended for tbe
convenience of the floor-manager, he
