notified that q murder had been COM
mitted in quarter of the city known
as "Calebria.D This locality was known
as the resort for characters of the vilest
stamp, and hardly a day passed that
police interference was not necessary.
When the official arrived at the rickety
dwelling where the crime had been
committed, the crowd of people had be-
come dense. Ascending the steps, he
entered small room, which contained
but few articles of furniture, the most
prominent of which was bed in one
corner of the room. To this young
girl with disheveled hair and wild, star
ing eyes, rushed as the officer entered
and pointed to something which lay
thereon, while with the other hand she
held the candle above her head. Her
look was wild and fearful, and her fern
trembled from head to foot.
The officer started back at the sight
which met bis gaze. There lay woman
covered with blood, her face upturned,
and her eyes fixed and CLASSY in death.
| The contortion of her features told that
she had died by violence and in terrible
agony, while the similarity with that
ofthe girl beside her was still visible on
| her face.
"She was my sister" said the girl,
land her paramount murdered her."
The words came Missing through her
pale curled lips, and her eyes CLEANED
with fiend-like fire. Placing her hand
in her bosom she drew forth
A Beautiful Dagger,
and cold, derisive smile overspread
her features as she remarked, with her
dark eyes shooting shafts of hooking
seOrn at the officer when he asked the !
name of the william who committed the |
fatal deed:
"Never mind his name," she replied. |
"I'll be her avenger. No mock court |
of justice will deal with him. His fam
lily are rich and have influence. | |
loved my sister very much, and this |
terrible deed has almost crazed me. L
will soon be myself again, and then, by |
the Almighty God! will take ven
geance that will be terrible to relate.
In conclusion l will ask you to see that |
she is decently buried, and will repay |
you ut some future time"
When she had concluded she left the
room, saying that she would return
directly. But that was the last seen of
her. The body was subsequently buried
in accordance with the wish of her sis
ter, and though the case received the
strictest investigation, no elew to the
murderer of Sonora BSrberia or the
whereabouts of her sister Angelique
could be obtained.
Time passed on, and amid the muta-
bility of affairs the matter was gradu-
ally forgotten in the minds of the pub
lie.
Some two Years later the same detec-
tive who had investigated the murder
OF Sonora Barberia, WAS intrusted with
the charge of arresting notorious for
ger who had recently been plying his
aNOcatiOn with great success. Taking
his seat one night in the Folly Theatre,
be quietly awaited the opening of the
performance. While thus seated his at
tentiOn was attracted by a strikingly
beautiful woman in one of the boxes.
There was q slight bOldness in her man
ner and an abandon in her dress which
stamped her to the initiated eye as one
who was not accustomed to the paths of
rectitude.
The detective thought he recognized
the Countenancc, but fog the time could |
not remember where or under what
circumstances he had met the woman.
She was accompanied by a young and
handsome girl of about nineteen, and
l
of the higher order OF society. Accom-
panying the ladies was a man fashion,
ably attIred, but having the traces of
excessive dissipation. Having satisfied |
herself that she had attracted the at
tention of the detective, the elder of the
two ladies smiled as if in recognition.
She then took a card from her port
wrote few words upon ii,
returned it to its place, and looking
ut the door drew back into
the box.
When the curtain fell the detective
fastened out, and taking his stand al
the lobby awaited developments. AS
the trio passed out into the vestibule the
handsome lady fingered behind, and as

and, smiling sweetly, hurriedly walked ;
out into the crowd To the detectives
surprise. he found 500 in the portmon- ,
maize, and card, upon the back of which
sas penciled the following:
Please accept this small sum as part s
payment for the burial of my sister. Now s
that you have seen again the avenger of
that sisters wrongs, you will in a short 5
time hear OF her vengeance. ,
