TO the street door, where be was
met by the Provost, VINO: twirl-
ing his mus:acbe, requested lafor-
mation as TO the whereabouts of
the young Spanish gentleman who
; bad visited the house the evening
before.
Monsieur, replied the barber,
; who betrayed himsclf BY the sud-

Very well, then returned the
Provost, swe%twiii &EooE for. him,'
and turning 10 his men lie bid
some of them TO secure the priS-
oner, commanding the others to.
follow him into the house, where
a search was begun:
Suddenly one OF The officers
gave q startled exclamation aud
Fastening to the sFot the Provost
saw ir the floor OF the shop u trap
door, the existence OF which was
evident, as it had not yet been Sc
curely fastened. He gave i,
slight push with his foot and it
descended quickly out of sight.
sAb, Master Cabard,' exclaimed
he, the mystery is explained. In
stead of shaving the chins Of
your customers yoI first cut ii cir
throats ana rob them and then
quietly send their bodies to the
cellar by means Of this machine
With these words he went With
his officers to the cellar, where
frlghtful Spectacle awaited them.
Eight or ten bodies hung sus
pended from hooks along the
walls and the last was the corpse
of Julio, the unfortunate Spanlard.
The Provost remarked with hor-
ror that these bodies had BEEN
treated in the same manner as
butchers use quarters Of beet, and
when the additional discovery was
made that this cellar communi-
Gated with that Of the pastry
cook, M;que!on, the awful truth
flashed across the minds Of all
that it. was by this means the lat

ouelon we're Immediately thrown
into prison and were soon aftcr
tried and convicted Of murder
Miquelon as an ACCESSORY before
and after the fact. They we're |
condemned 10 be broken on the
wheel and the sentence Was soon
executed. 1t was shown a: tie
trial that during the five years
continuance Of this abominable |
partnership one hundred and !
forty-thrce persons had succumbed
to the barber's nurderous razor.
As for Cabard's daughter the
Court was onVinced that she was
innocent Of any: crime, and that
her father bad. only used her as a
bait, to attract customers, sending
her away, however, Whenever he
wished to commit an assassina-
ton. She was. SET at liberty and
retired, it is said, to convent,
where she passed the rest Of her
days. The life granted to the ua-
fortunate girl could scarcely have
been less unhappy in its disgrace
than the death OF her father had
been to bin.
The bereavod Andrea, out Of
gratitude for the service rendered
him, gave Gouire sum of money
sufficient to establish MIN in busi-
ness, and the iocksnLI: adding to
