TIE NIN FIIH THE IRON MASK
The Mystery Solved.

What a grand stimnlant TO literature is curl
osity Who but really wenbred men would
know aught of Junius' letters now, had lie not
written and acted upon that famous sentence:
IL AM the sole depository of my own secret, and
1t shall die with me.n There Is in the lives OF
almost all OF us 4 Junius and Man OF the Iron
Mask period. 1t seems, however, that the rising
generation is not TO enjoy, in these respects the
privileges OF their progenitors for we are threat
ened with real revelation Of the first OF these fas
chatting mysteries, and the second has, 1t seems
been Just finally settled by an accomplished
French writer NJ. Marius Topin, who has quite
lately published very interesting work, elucida-
ting this vcyed question.
Mr.. Topin has made most pa!nstaking re-
searches and il is said, discovered original dOcu
ments relating 10 the puzzDg prisoner, which
proye hun 10 lave been person whom very few
of us probably ever heard Of b0fore, or are likely
ever 10 hear Of again, one Count Matthioly, min
lister OF Charles fourth Duke of Mantua.
IL seems that this man had involved himself in
intrigues with Louis XIV, in regard 10 shc be-
travail OF place called Clsal, at that time rcck-
oned one Of the Keys OF ltaly anu when all seemed
iavoraby arranged suddenly broke OF, OF seemed
inclined to place obstacles in the way OF the de-
sired object.
The King was not man to brook this sort OF
conduct. Having cOnLrlVcu SccTctly 10 secure
Matthioys person. he desired that lie sllould be
supposed 10 be dead and the curious eSpedielt
was adopted which has given rise to more than
century's conjectures.
NJ. Iopin has found hitherto unpublished
dispatch of Louis, which entirely agr eS chrOno-
logically with the records regarding the mystic
ri0us prisoner, containing the words None
must know what has become OF this man,
The author seems to have traced out the his
tory, step by step, with the diligence OF an Eng
lish lawyer getting up dormant peerage claims.
He has discovered that the prisoner arrived in
Paris from the Isles OF ST. Margaret with N. st.
Mars, the newly appointed Governor Of the Bas-
tile, on the 18th OF September, 1893; that they
stopped at NJ. ST. Mars house, between Joigny
and filleneuve, where the story as to the pris-
Oner guarded with such extraordinary care, still

prisoner whom he has traced out to be this Berg

the Baste, under circumstances OF the utmost
privacy-the name OF "AIarchialyn being inscrib-
ed in thc death register.

THE PANTIN TRAGEDY.
Discovery OF tt,c Remains of the Elder
kinri-.

The bolly OF the cider Kinck was found on
November d, near Cernay, In Alsace. The Gau-
lois gives :he following particulars Of the dis
coyery:
The body was discovered In q wood by the side
of a ruined chateau. in the small commune OF
Herrenfuch, near Wattwer. The population
OF the neighborho0d would not discontinue their
search, Notwithstanding the want OF success ana
the departure OF the police agent sent from Paris
by NJ. Claude. They had given up all hope OF
finding anything under the trees, and were cX
tending their examination to the brushwood on
the skirt of the wood, when they marked num-
ber OF crows, which new away at their
approach. The collection of them was so
great on the same point that the attention
OF the Searchers was aroused, ana they pro-
cecded toward the spot. Several Of those birds
remained on small heap OF stones, fghllng Tor
some pieces of flesh, and only abandoned their
prey az the last moment. There could no longer
he any doubt-a corpse was certainly there; III
fact, the manglcd remains OF q human foot were
protruding through the stones. In few moments
The earth was cleared away. and body in all ad-
vanced state Of decomposition was exposed. at

was sent for, and on arriving proceeded to All
investigation. No doubt TO as the identity OF
the body was possible, although The fca-
lures were not recoSnizab!c, Tue Emitted StocH-
ings being similar TO those worn by the children,
while the clothing was remembered by all those
WHO had seen Kinck before the crime. The body
was removed with great precaution, and placed
on small mound OF earth, and number Of lnen
having been appointed to prevent idlers from aap.
preaching too near. medical man was sent Tor
from Guebwillcr. The legal Identification and the
post-mortcm examination was fixed Tor the sI next
day. 1t appears adds Galignani, that NJ. Souvc-
rss the police agent, on returning to Paris after
his unsuccessful search in Alsace, went without
delay to Traupmann and informed him OF the
failure OF his eXerliOns. The other declared that he
had given correct indications, and that wrong
path must have been followed lie then repeated
his former statement, which, 1t may be remember
ed, was to this effect: 'He had entced Kinck into
the Iaut. Rhin. On leaving the railway station
on the auhausen line, at about three O'Clock IN
the afternoon, they entered an inn, ana after
ward. under the pretext Of going TO discover
method OF fabrIcating. base coin, proceeded TO-
ward the forest. Not far from the ruins ol the
chateau OF Herrenfiuch, between Ccrnay and o.
willer Kinck felt tired and thirsty. Traupmann,
who had provided himself with prussic acid, gave
him some In glass OF water, and the other fell
dead the spot" After this he again In
had buried the body, which, 1t seems, agrees with
the spot where the corpse has now been found.
