of the whole matter, and the result was that the police were called in. Meantime the mys- terlcus stranger appeared to have gained some knowledge of the movement against him, for he disappeared, and was heard of no more-at that period.
 The police agents came out from Paris and spent day or two in the house. There stood the wooden case, gaping wide open, with it's cushioned sides and the staples driven into them, seeming to indicate that human being was to be chained in there alive. The agents began to think that some attempt at blackmail was to be made by band of clever criminals. Every endeavor was made to catch the sup posed culprit, and the concierges, shoemak- CTS and water carriers of the capital with bated breath nightly discussed the mystery, until one fine morning the prefect of police received a letter from wealthy gentleman who lives but a little way from Paris, explain ing the whole matter. It appears that some weeks ago this gentleman was bitten by one of his dogs in such manner as to awaken suspicion in his mind that the dog was mad. He cauterized the wound. but the thought that he was possibly victim of hydrophobia so preyed upon his mind that he determined to separate himself from his family for time, and to experiment upon certain animals, by inoculating them with his own blood, in order to ascertain if the rage were really lurking in his system. With this intention he hired the house in the suburbs and prepared case in which he proposed to shut up three of his dogs, and to study their symptoms until he felt sure either that he was free from danger or that there was crisis to fear. Just as he was about to bring the dogs to the cottage and to inoculate them there, he found that the meddlesome neighbors were likely to get him into temporary trouble, so he gave up his design. He enclosed to the prefect the false beard and spectacles with which he had been disguised when he rented the cottage. The Drefect smiled the macmillan ami1a which man do when compelledto admit that they are sold, and the great mystery was at an end.
