Joseph Melssner, a dagger OF for agn manu-
facture, used beyond doubt in the commission
of the crime; also an ivory wrist stud, with
an initial on it, in all probability dropped by
the assassin. 1t is thought that tn Use articles
cannot fail to give clew to the discovery of
the guilty person. Meanwhile, the janitor,
Mouton, has been placed under surv elllance.

said Thouvenot, as be laid down the paper

"Certainly. This will fhutter the Rue

sPrecisely what is said here in The Figaro.
And now, let US stroll down to the Morgue.
and see what is to be seem"
ssBut what is to be seens"
"Why, the dagger that the old Jew was
stabbed with. 1t is being shown at the
Morgue to-day, and they say there has been
quite crowd to see it. Letus 60"
Gas you like. One other glass Of beer, and
I am ready
We had the other glass of beer, then walked
down the Boulevard st. Michel in the direc-
tion of the Morgue, Thouvenot RECALLING me
on the way with various anecdotes of the
murdered man to illustrate his avarice and
eccentricity
Itwas by this time past five in the afternoon,
yet there was still a crowd at the door of the
dead-house. The people formed line
stretching along the Pont de PArcheveque,
and we tailed on to the end of it.
ssHere we are at lastn exclaimed Thouve-
not as we crossed the threshold, wedged in
tightly by the throng. Heavens, what
crushl It is always so at these gratuitous
spectacles."
The murder of Meissner seemed indeed to
have caused an unusual sensation; all these
people were talking about it, and showed the
iveliest anxiety to get a good place for seeing.
Around me were heard such EXPLANATIONS as
these: "Oh, Monsieur, you elbow me!"-"A
thousand pardons! Pardon, Madame, but
your basket incommodes el"-"Ah, heavens,
take carel you tread upon my heell' Through
this little storm Of CALCULATIONS sounded at
regular intervals the deep voice Of the guard:
NOW, then, pass on, ladies and gentlemenl
A little more quickly, if you please" Ahead
of us, I could see the people staring at q
board hung on the bars of the grating, be-
hind which stood the two rows of dark slabs,
empty and uninteresting to-day. "Seel
There is the buttonl" heard them saying.

dropped it with mothered groan of anguish
then listened, catching my breath, to see
whether Raoul did not awake. He slept on.
laid on the table the newspaper had bought,
folded SO that the paragraph about the murder
lay uppermost; put beside it in a little pile all
that remained of Levi Jacobs money, and
stole softly from the room.
I had meant to fly at once and forever
from the Rue Dauphine. But no sooner had
I closed the door of Raoul1s room behind me
than the impulse left me- How could de-
sert my friend2 Even If he were-even if he
we're what I dreaded to think, ought to
leave hims Would he in such a case have
abandoned me2 leaned my head against
the damp wall of the staircase, and, am not
ashamed to say, sobbed to think of it. What
could believe but that all was true? There
was that damning evidence at the Morgue
there was all that had happened since my
parting with Raoul at ten o'clock on Monday
night-the hundred trivial details that joined
their several forces and drove the mind to
such a terrible conclusion. But Raoul?-of
all men, hes Was to trust my reason Or my
friendships A cruel alternativel I shook as
If with fit of ague; ! felt thoroughly worn
out in mind and body. Was to go or stay!
Sab uOWn Oh Uu0 SUdlI6 anu DulT1oO my lace
in my hands,
do not know how long sat there; was
careless Of the time, as Of the cold. To leave
Raou1 was like treason; but to meet him
to face him with such thoughts in my mind!-
rather anything than thatl 1t was now late
Seven o'clock was the hour we had fixed for
dinner; it must be long after that; already
the restaurant people must have sent in ou1
meal. Raoul might rise at any moment
might come out-he must not find me here!
I rose, staggered downstairs and rushed along
the passage.
A stout man, muff1ed up in great, black
cravat, stretched his arm across the outer
doorway to prevent my reaching the street
Almost beside myself, in blind rage at this
obstacle, raised my arm and dealt him VIC
lent blow on the chest. He reeled back, but
as he did so whistled shrilly and grasped me
by the sleeve Two men rushed forward, and
in moment held me fast.
"Ho, hop said the stout man with the era
vat; 1--WE assault the agents Of policea We
raise our hands against the authorities, Ell!
Here Jacquot, Bertrandl Bring this fine fell
low under the light of the lamp there, that ]
may have look at him! Short, fair,
blue eyes-no, it Is not our man. You may
let him go. And, young jackanapes, let me
warn you"
But no sooner had the two men loosed thei1
hold of me than had fled like coward, and,
before the stout man had finished his SEN
tence, was half way down the Rue Dauphine.
