Axelson turned and looked wildly
on jaeger for long time without saying
anything. Suddenly he caught Jager's
hand, pressed it convulsively to his lips,
bathing it with his tears, kissed it anew
with the same vehemence and rushed
thereafter out of the room.
The Judge stood as if nailed fast to
the floor, staring at the open door.
The following day the murder of Mr..
A6olph Dahl was announced in Stock
holm through the papers and through
verbal reports. A few days after that
the corpse of Axelson, the Iron Carrier,
was floating in the harbor of the City
yard, not far from the house, where the
tin sign OF the s:Blue Cloth is creak-
ing in the wind on its rusty hinges.

CHAPTER V.
THE WILL,

Before his writing desk, filled with
law-papers, Judge jaeger was sitting
this same evening completing the rec
ords Of court held by him in provin-
cial town and for the purpose of closing
which he intended to leave Stockholm
the following morning, where he had
resided a few weeks compiling records.
zeslously digging among and turn
over the many papers, he did not hear
that the door was opened and was
therefore greatly astonished when he
looked up and observed at his writing
table q poorly dressed man. ) -: &"
But the astonishmentt was Instantly
changed into the greatest joy, when he

door, and then he approached Dahl
and took place on the divan.

stand, sir-all she would not do it,
because ia the midst Of the misery of
her disgrace the poor girl still loves her
seducer-- she had to do it-yes,
Mr.. Dahl, she has confessed all !"
Dahl leaned his head behind the
lamp shade to light his cigar, or, to
speak more correctly. to conceal his un-
easiness.
"Well, as you now know all, my
friend" said Dahl, who by degrees had
somewhat recovered his selfpossession,
g let US speak frankly and openly with
each other-what do you require that
1 shall do for your daughter what
can do for Anna ?"
Nothing" answered the Iron-Car-
rier in a sepulchral voice.
Nothing, my friend?" remarked
Dahl, whose uneasiness commenced to
increase.
You pleased to ask me few min
utes ago, sir, with what am occupied
this winter-I have, as you know been
an lron-Carrier during the summer
and a hosier during the winter-now
have abandoned both these trades to
choose another one.
"Another well, 80 much the bet
ter" answered Dahl, allow me to ask
what kind of trade that is-can l in
any way be Of service to you what
business do you intend to choose ?"
"Well, sir, I intend to be murderer" :"
Startled by this terrible word and by
the still more terrible look that accom-
panied this word, Dahl rushed to the
bell-string hanging on the door.
But he did not reach the door, be-
cause he was pushed back by the hand
of this terrible man.
1.-THE bell, that next time sounds
for your sake," resumed the Iron-Car-
rier, sis not to be found in this house
that is to be found in the church
tower Of the St. Clara! !"
Dahl hastened to the corner, where
he had his sword, but he was even
therein prevented by the Iron-Carrier,
who caught hold of the sword, un-
sheathed it, broke the blade in pieces
and threw the same on the divan.
"Wretch !! what are you going to
do?" stammered Dahl, shivering in
every limb.
"To strangle you, villain - was the
answer of the Iron-Carrier.
Dahl hastened to the window and
cried for help but was thrown back
against the divan, over which he fell
on his back.
By this violent motion the table was
overturned and the crystal lamp fell in
a thousand pieces on the floor.
1t became dark in the room-but
the mahogony divan trembled under
the horrible struggle that was fought on
its silk cushions.
Now it became silent-silent as the
grave. Only a few drops Of oil running
out Of the lamp were heard to fall on
the floor.
A few minutes-and now the door
was heard to be unlocked, and was
opened.
Some servant girls, who, with lights
in their hands fastened up stairs, met
gigantic laborer, who with heavy
steps glided through the gate and dis
appeared.

AN INCIDENT FROM LIFE AMONG THE
COMMON PEOPLE.

AN INCIDENT FROM LIFE AMONG THI
COMMON PEOPLE.
By AUGUST BLANCHE.
Translated from the Swedish for The Grange Advance
by wv.
CHAPTER ".
A PROMISE KEPT.
A whole year had elapsed since the
incident above narrated.
jaeger, who during that time had
had other things, to occupy himself
with than to visit the taverns disguised
as farrier that he might study the
life of the common people, resided
mostly in the country, where he presid-
ed as Judge of one of the larger dis
tricts.
Dahl resided continually in Stock
holm where he lived extravagantly aud
kept q splendid bachelor establishment.
At the death of his father he inherited
not less than three large iron .manufac-
tories and then left the Postal Depart
ment to its fate.
The rich, handsome and gay young
man had recently been betrothed to
a rich and beautiful lady Of the nobili-
ty, and he was just now occupied pre-
pairing for his wedding.
It was about dusk, also during win
ter-evening when Mr.. Dahl came riding
in handsome cutter, ornamented with
bear robes and gold plated paws.
The sleigh stopped outside of house
on Queens street. Mr.. Dahl jumped
out and nodded to his servant, who
was driving the cutter, and who then
drove away.
Fastening through the gateway,
Dahl did not observe that he brushed
past broad-shouldered man, who was
hiding himself in the dark behind the
gate.
Arrived in his beautiful apartment
he lit the flashing crystal lamps, threw
off his simple but fine uniform, put his
sword in corner, wrapped his we'll
formed person in morning gown Of
embroidered silk-velvet, lit cigar, and
extended with ease his limbs on the
swelling silk-covered divan.
With half shut eyes he dreamt him
self back into the pleasures and enjoy
ments Of the last minutes. On his lips
he still felt the sweet after-taste of in.
Vulnerable kisses from the mouth of a
blooming and loving bride.
He had just left the sumptuous
dwelling of his future father-in-law,
where splendid dinner had been given
for numerous noble guests, and in an
hour he was to return dressed in a
palmer but more appropriate dress, to
participate in brilliant sleighing par
ty at the side Of his betrothed.
He already heard the sound of the
bells and listened to the whispers from
the lips of the enchantress, when-when
heavy foot steps were heard on the
stair and thereafter heavy knocks on
the door.
Mr.. Dahl, thinking that some of his
friends, who also had visited the din
ner party, had in state of half intoxi-
cation staggered up the stairs and now
could not find the lock, fastened up
from the sofa to the door and opened
the same.
It was however not a friend with
weak knees, but a laborer, who with
steady pace stepped over the threshold
stopping with his back against the
door.
Mr.. Dahl retreated few steps.
"Have I the honor to be known ?"
asked the man with low voice.

Dahl, somewhat perplexed, "I believe
