and romantic fancies that passed through
my brain, I can’t help laughing. ..
M. Mechinet assumed fantastic propor
tions iu my mind. The next morning he
quietly came In to thank ms again, and
Invited me to dinner.
f ! It may be supposed that I was all eyes
and ears when I entered my neighbor’s
home. But It was in vain that my atten
tion was on the alert. I detected nothing
calculated to dispel the mystery that so
greatly perplexed me. From the time of
this dinner, however, onr relations be
came more intimate. M. Mechinet had
evidently ^aken a fancy to me. A week
rifartly passed without an invitation to eat
hi* soup, as he expressed it, and almost
everyday he Joined ma at the CafeLeroy,
and ws played a game of dominoes to
gether.
V So on a certain evening in the month of
July—one Friday about five o’clock—he
was on the J>oint of beating me; when a
man of very shabby appearance, it must
be confessed, entered and whispered

I afterwards knew It Was n trick ot Ms
to ooncealhis Impressions and divert the
attention of Ms questioners.
Meantime we drove on.
Tbs pure ascended, not without diffi
culty, the Roe de CHnehy, nroeetd the
outer boulevard, turned into the Hue do
Recluse, and ere long stopped at soms
distance from the addreee given.
. To go further was impoerible, the street
teas so blocked by a dense crowd.
Before the house, bearing the number
80, twq or three hundred persons were
standing with outstretched necks and
sparkling eyes, panting with curiosity,
and with difficulty kept back by a Half-
dozen policemen, who vainly shouted In
their harehest tones, “Pass on, gentlemen,
pass on!”
Alighting from the carriage, we ap
proached the house, forcing onr way
through the loungers with great diffi
culty.
We had already reached the door of No.
80, when a policeman rudely thrust us
back.
"Stand back! No admittance here!”
My oompanion eyed him from bend to
foot, and drawing himself up, said:
“So you don’t recognize me. I am
Mechinet, and this young man”—he
pointed to me—“is with me.”
“Pardon mel Excuse tnel” stammered
the man, raising his hand to his hat. “I
didn’t know—walk in.”
We entered.
In the vestibule a stout woman, evi
dently the concierge, redder than a peony,
was talking and gesticulating Amid a
group of lodgers.
“Where
rouffhly.
“On the third floor, mydear monsieur,”
she answered; “tMrd floor, right-hand
door! Oh Lord, what a misfortunel Inn
boose like ours! Such a good rnanl”
I beard no more. M. Mschinet bad
darted np the stairs, and I followed, my
heart beating as if It would stifle me.
The right-hand door on the third floor
stood open.
We entered, crossed an antechamber,
dining-room, drawing-room, and at last
reached a bed-chamber.
If I coul$ li ve a thousand years I should
never forget the spectacle that met my
eyes. As I write, after so many years, I
can see the smallest details*
Two men were leaning on the mantel
piece opposite the door: a commissary of
police, with.hia scarf roundhis waist, and
an examinlrig magtotiato.
On the right, seated at a table, a young
man, the clerk, was writing.
In the centre of the room, on the floor,
amid a pool ot black, coagulated blood,
lay the body of an oM man with white
hair. He was stretched on Ms back, with
hla arms extended. Terrified, I stood
rooted to the threshold, eo near fainting,
that to save myself from falling I was
obliged to lean against the door.
My profession had familiarised me
with death; I had long since conquered
the terrors of the hospital, but this was
the first time I found myself confronted
with crime. For it was evident that an
abominable crime had been committed.
My neighbor, less impressionable than
I, had entered with a firm step.
“Oh! it’s yon, Mechinet,” said the com
missary of police. “I’m very sorry to
have troubled you.”
“Why?”
“Because we sha’n’t need your wits.
We know the criminal. I have given my
orders, and he most be already created.”
Strange! From M. Mecbinet’s gesture,
one would have supposed this assurance
annoyed him. He drew out his snuff
box, took- twoor three of his imaginaiy
pinches, and said: —
“Ah! the criminal is known.” v
The examining magistrate answered! -
“And known in a very certain and pos
itive fashion; yes, Monsieur Mechinet.
The crime having been committed, the
assassin fled; believing that his victim
had expired. He was mistaken. Provi
dence watched the deed. The unfortunate
man still breathed. Summoning all his
strength, he dipped one of his fingers in
Henceforward my mind was asttfod.

Butof what use wsa ray drieowy!
I bad gradually recovered my senses,
tha power ot reflecting and deliberating
liad returned, and I scrutinised everything
around me with asgsr cariosity.
From the place whore I stood leaning
against tbs door, I ooaUsnrvegr the whole
apartment.
Nothing, literally nothing, betrayed tbs
scene of a murder.
Everything, on tbs contrary, revealed
comfort, bat at the same tin
Ions and methodical habitat,
was In its place; there was not a
awry in the curtains, and tbs framfls of
the furniture glittered, Implying dally
polishing. Besides, It seemed evident
that the suppositions of the magistrate
and commissary of police were correct,
and the poor old man had been leensl-
uated the evening before, Jaat an bn wan
preparing to go to bed.
In fact, tbs bedclothes were turned
back, and on the quilt lay a shirt; and
nightcap. On the table at tha bead of tbs
bed I saw a glsas of sugar ant water, a
box of matches, and on evening paper—
the Patrie.
On one ooraar of tha mantelpiece glit

At that time I was far too deeply agita

“Now,” I thought, “I shall get the key

Thus informed, I perceived what I had

On the floor, in large, ill-shaped, scarce
ly legible letters, was written with blood:
MONIS.
“Well!” said M. Mechinet.
“That,” replied the commissary of po
lice, “is the beginning of the name of the
poor old man’s nephew—a nephew of |
whom he was very fond, and who is named
Monistrol.”
“The devil!” said my neighbor.
“I don’t suppose,’’continuedthe magis
trate, “that the scoundrel will try to deny
it. The five letters are an overerhelming
charge against him. Besides, who profits
by this cowardly crime! He alone, tha

neck from ear to ear.
The instrument of the crime most have
been a poniard, or rather one of those ter
rible Catalonian kuives, as wide as the
hand, which cat on both sides and areas
Bharpas a needle.
Never iu my life have I experienced
sensations so singular.
My temples throbbed with unprece
dented violence, and my heart swelled as
if it would burst.
What was I going Se discoverf ~
Urged on by a mysterious sad Irre
sistible power which snnihilsted my
will, I took between my own hands
tha cold, rigid hands of the corpse.
The right one was clean; it was one of
the flngers of the left, the forefinger, that
was stained with blood.
What! The old man had written with
his left hand! Come, comet
Overwhelmed by a sort of giddiness,
with wild eyes, bristling hair, aud a face
paler than that of the corpse lying at my
feet, I started up, uttering a terrible cry.

So there was nothing to prevent the so- j 4>aS dr) V E
complishment ot my plan.
Besides, I must confess, a sort of feverish
eagerness taken possession of me,
which made me insensible to external cir-
euinstances and utterly Isolated me.
I ventured to kneel down by the body,
to see It better and more closely.
For from thinking somebody was going
to exclaim: “What are you doing here?”
I moved slowly and steadily, like a man
who, having received a mission, is going
to execute it.
The unfortunate old man seemed to be
about seventy or seventy-fire years old.
He was small and very thin, but had evi
dently been strong, and likely to live to
be a hundred. He atill had a great deal
of hair, of a yellowish white color, curled
on the back of his neck. His gray beard,
strong and thick-set,‘did not seem to have
been shaved for five or six days; it mush
have grown since Ms death. This cir
cumstance, which I had often noticed
among subjects brought to the hospital
for dissection, caused me no surprise.
What did aetonish me was the unfor
tunate man’s face. It was calm, nay,
smiling.
The Ups were parted as if for a friendly
greeting.
Death had been terribly sudden, sines
he had kept that pleasant expression.
This was the first idea that presented
Itself to the mind.
Yes, but how could I reconcile these
two Irreconcilable circumstances: a sud
den death, and the five letters—Jfonls—
which I saw In characters pf blood upon
the floor!
What effort must it not have cost the
dying man to write that! Only the hops
of vengeance could have given him such
energy. And what must have been his
