being aware that sum Of 1000 lhalers
was kept in secretaire, communicated the
fact to a man whom she knew, and pro-
posed him 10 steal It. The latter gave
some poison, which he directed TO be
thrown into the soup, assuring her that it
was merely a narcotic, which would not
fail 10 plunge the family Into deep sleep.
A curious circumstance saved them all.
On the edge of the lamp suspended over
the table was placed rod, to keep 10 awe

begun To cry just as they sat down 20

for the rod, and in doing SO oyerset the
soup lureen. The cat lapped-up some Of
the soup, and died Immediately. This
aroused suspicion, and an investigation
being instituted, the truth was discovered.
