Look at everybody said his mys-

ferrous companion.
Mr.. l. looked with all his ewes,
but ne saw nothing but promcnaders
on foot and in carriages. The next
day, when he entered the caleche, he
was surprised to see large white dog
crouchlng on the mat at the drivers |
| feet. lie did not understand the mys-
terry at first, but it was explained to |
him afterwards. At the time he was
| committed, between Rouen and Paris, |
white dog, without an owner had
been found in the former city The |
! police sent him to Paris at once On |
the day of which we are speaking two
lost dogs We're advertised on the fourth |
page of the journals, one at Vangiriad,
the other at Passy. 1t was to those
! places that MIR. l. went with Otfi-
! GERS.
But it was in vain. Days passed
away thus; nothing was discovered.
One evening the agent OF the police
told him to accompany him to ball
and gave him costume of an officer
of Spahees turkish horse soldier. }
The clergyman made some objections,
y
riage deposited them at the foot of
staircase of very fine hotel, where
they were received by footmen. There
was grand ball that night, and the
saloon was filled with persons who ap
peared to Mr.. L to belong to the
best society of Paris; for that matter
he might be convinced on hearing the
names of the guests as announced by
the Wallets.
He WAS presented to the mistress of
the house, Madame la Comtesse de
F. who received him very gracious
ly. He cOnversed great part of the
evening with her son, and retired at an
advanced hour without having seen
anything.
Another week passed.
The following Saturday he went to
the ball again at the same house. NJ.
de F., the son of the mistress of the
house came at once to converse with
him, and drew him behind the large
curtains of window Of the saloon.
Mr.. l. soon heard the voice of
the agent of police-who was in citi-
zens dress---in conversation with
another person. They talked Of the
chase. After some minutes cOnversa-
ton, during which Count F., kept
his eye fixed on MIR. l., who re-
mained impossible, the couple went
away. A moment after he heard the
sound of the agert's voice anew.
= Ah! here you are at last, NJ. de
Bo--! said he, its long time since
we have seen your
The person addressed'had no sooner
, pronounced the first word of his phrase
: than Mr.. L bounded in his place
behind the curtain.
1t is him! it is him! it is the un.
known of Rouen!
Be still said NJ. de F., or your
imprudence will spoil all
An instant afterwards they were
joined by the agent of police.
'WellY said he.
Mr. L. trembled in all his mem.
hers Il have heard him., said he,
shivering-'it is him recognized his
voice
> 1t may be mistake; you will re-
= main here without stirring until all the
guests enter the dining saloon. You
see that door by the side of those cur
tains; through that door each one will
come with lady on his arm. Scruti-
= nize each countenance attentively, and
above all make no movement
One o'clock in the morning struck at
: last Mr. l. parted the curtains a
little, and his eye of fire was fixed upon
, the door Of the dining saloon. His
whole body trembled as if traversed
= by an electric shock. All at once his
crisped hand directed itself invo unta
rily toward man who was convers
Il ing with young lady; it was indeed
the stranger of Rouen. The agent o1
5 police was obliged to seize l. around
) the body. He wished to unmask the
assassin.
The next day the agent came early
TO find him.
. you must call on Mr.. B.
y Let US go on the instant.
i will conduct you to the door, and
}, you viii go up alone. 1t is necessary
for you to speak to him tete.a-tete.'
NJ. de Bo-- lived in the rue Saint
Honore When the clergyman, pale
as death, rang at the door, Nj. dc
+ Bo-- who was putting on bis gloves
= and preparing to go out, came to open
it himself
He turned pale in spite Of himself
on seeing the English minister. But
II he recovered himself at once.
g Pardon, Monsieur, what is the OBJ
e ject of your visit?'
) You ask me that, wretch! cried Mr.
t l., furiously ly.
d you are mad ? said NJ. do Bo-
struggling his shoulders, and drawing
n his interlocutor into his study.
q Now, what do YOU wantF said he
