thrown into a state of great excitement by
the startling news that Cadmir Borosse had
been found murdered, about ten miles from
town, on the road to the nearest seaport.
lie appeared to have been shot first, and
then his face beat to a jelly by club. A
single letter found on his body gave clue
to his identity and place os,.resdence; and,
when the corpse was carried into town, all
hs friends. and especially his wife, recug-
nized 1t by the dress worn when last seen
alive. He had also been robbed of every-
thing but the single letter found in one of
his pockets, which the murderer had neg
lectet to destroy or take away, proba bly
considering it of no value.
This naturally made great stir through

have been reduced to absolute poverty.
The authorities took the affair of the

was rumored that Madame B1rosse was
about, tor the second time, to enter the
nuptal state, her sultor being a genlle>
man OF wealth and descendant of noble
French family. Rumor in this case had
truth Tor foundation; and, not long after,
invitations were sent to the leading fani

1t was expected to prove very brilliant
affair. The appointed day came the guests
assembled, and the ceremony was about to
begin. when stranger, pale and breath
less, came rushing into the presence of the
Company, and exclaimed
'Am too late? is Madam Borosse the
wife Of anOther?"
The company was electrified, and each
felt the presaging thrill Of a strange de-
velopment. The bride turned and fixed
her eyes upon the excited quest;oner, ard
