If, imwever, instead of using tho word supernatural” to express what we do not understand, we should use sim ply the word “inexplicable,” it would b> much more exact. In the affair I 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 time nt Ajicco.a little white city lying on the eJge of a beautiful bay which is surrounded on all sides by high moun tains. Tho cases with which 1 had chiefly to do were those of vendetta. I hail some fierce, heroic instances, the superbly dramatic possible 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 tinguished, traitorous ruses, assassina tions developed into massacres, and al most glorious in their horror. For two years 1 had heard of nothing but the price of blood, that terrible Corsican prejudice which binds a man to a' ich binds a man to avenge in the person who wrought every u.juryon t IM J „ ft, Iris descendants and kinsmen.” I hail seen old men murdered and chil dren, and my head was full of such sto 1 learned one day that an Englishl man had just leased for a number of years a little villa at the foot of the bay. lie had brought with him a French I Ui,ly.servant. engaged at Marseilles as he passed. Everybody was soon busy his strange personage, who lived wit alone, and left his* dwelling only tm hunt or fish. Ho spoke to notxglyj ucvci came to the city, and every morning practised shooting for an hour’or two with his pistol or rifle. There wero many stories about him. One man held that he was of princely rank, and had fled his country for po litical reasons; another aflirmed that ho was lying in concealment after hav ing committed a fearful crime, and gently. "But 1 was I baa that chain put on to hold 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. I It t ridge Englishman's face. My dog brought 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: "I havo also been a great hunter of with four wooden chain, a pino table, and one looking-glass ten inches square, then proceeded to tho ball-room door.

Three times I awoke, and three times on going to sleep again I saw the hide ous member running about my room, moving its lingers like feet. The next day It was brought to me.
