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 In his sar a few words I did not under stand.- -,_'j M. Mechinet started up with a troubled face. “I'll go,” said he; “run and soy FU go.” The man set off at full speed, and my old neighbor held out hla hand to me,say- 8gfc3Tl lL) .-ifi *6 cool71 "Excuse me; duty first—we’ll continue our game to-morrow.” And as, burning with curiosity, I showed great annoyance,saying how much I regretted that 1 could not accompany aim: ~ 2 “Well,” he muttered, “why not!

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. I had wanted to know exactly vrha* my mysterious neighbor did. Now I knew.

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 tered a candlestick—a laige solid copper candlestick. But tbs candle that had Illuminated tbs crime was ooneamed, the murderer had fled without blowing it out, and it had-boned down, blackening the alabaster save-all on which It was that are not is entirely the old asoa did not write the did.” “Evidently,” assented the commissary. "Now." my neighbor oontinued,“ean WO Imagine a murderer stupid enough to b^SSTtoe'bSyfef his victim! No,that ■ Isn’t It.

The faculty of Investigation, which has been bestowed upon ms, is a very extra ordinary one. I bad never before bad oc casion to exert It, but it suddenly revealed Itself. At that time I was far too deeply agita ted to be able to analyze my impressions. I had but one obstinate, burning, Irresis tible desire—to approach the corpse, ly ing two yards away from me. At first I struggled against this wish. But there was a fatality about It. I ap proached. Had mypreaenee been noticed! I think Sftri At any rate, nobody was paying any at tention to me. M.

The five letters are an overerhelming charge against him. Besides, who profits by this cowardly crime! He alone, tha sole heir of the old man, who leaveaalarge fortune, they say. There is more evi dence; tbe crime was committed yester day evening. Well, yesterday evening so one visited this pooroldman except his nephew.

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 L. DOUGLAS TOR tow.
