No friendship could have been closer than
that between Raoul and myself. Since our.
first meeting, four years ago, we had literally
lived our life in common. He was in most
things my superior, but he himself did not

been perfect; thought l knew him to the
bottom of his soul. Now that was forced tc

ward, and bought an evening paper-The
Temps. l opened it under the light of a
street-lamp, and read this paragraph amid
the falling STOW:
'TKE CRIME OF CHRISTMAS-DAY-To-d
there was considerable crowd at the
Morgue, to inspect the articles on which the
police must chiefly rely in their attempt to
unravel the mysterious affair Of the Passage
de Mazarin. No arrest has yet been made,
nor. SO far as is known. is there any one even
under suspicion. The daughter Of Moutop

is said to have given evidence to the effect
that, about 10 o'clock on Monday night, the
hour at which the crime seems to have been
committed, she saw young man, 'tallish,
slenderly-built, and light of foot-step,' glide
through the passage of the house as if on his
way upstairs. The police will, of course
make every effort to trace this young man,
but, in the absence of clearer testimony, their
task must be pronounced one of the greatest
difficulty. Meantime, the judge of instruc-
tion has opened his inquiry on the spot; and
a reward OF 5000 francs has been offered by
the prefect of police for such information as
may lead to the arrest of the assassin"

CHAPTER V.

To make my narrative clear, 1 shall give
you, before going further, the result OF the
first days Inquiry held on Wednesday, the
day of my visit to the Morgue. The judge
of instruction in this case was M. Robert
Roguet, man of high reputation i'll the mag
istracy. From NJ. Sapinaud, advocate, and
a friend of mine, l obtained copy of the
judges notes later ON in the case; / give them
here.
The inquiry was held con the spot''-that is,
in the very room of the house No. 13 Passage
de Mazarin, where Joseph Meissner had been
murdered.
Jean Mouton, janitor, interrogate3, gave
evidence: That he had held his present stu
alton for more than II years, and that the
murdered man, Meissner, bad occupied that
room and cabinet for at least ten years In
terrogated as to the habits Of Joseph Meiss-
ner, declared that these were regular in the
extreme; that he always breakfasted in his
room; on three days of the week went out at
noon, returning at 4, and going out again at
6 to dine; on the other days remained in his
room till g. his invariable hour for dinner:

dropped it with sInothered groan of anguish
then listened, catching my breath, to see
whether Raoul did not awake. He slept on.
l laid on the table the newspaper had bought,
folded SO that the paragraph about the murder
lay uppermost; put beside it in little pile all
that remained of Levi Jacobs money, and
stole softly from the room.
1 had meant to fly at once and forever
from the Rue Dauphine. But no sooner had
l closed the door of Raoul's room behind me
than the impulse left me. How could l de-
sert my friend? Even if he were-even if he
were what / dreaded to think, ought | to
leave him! Would he in such a case have
abandoned me! l leaned my head against
the damp wall of the staircase, and, am not
ashamed to say, sobbed to think of it. What
could l 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 terrible conclusion. But RaOul!-of
all men, he! Was to trust my reason or my
frie-- lship? A cruel alternative! l shook as
if with a fit of ague; felt thoroughly worn
out in mind and body. Was 1 to go or stays
sat down on the stairs and buried my face
in my hands,
1 do not know how long sat there; was
careless of the time, as of the cold. To leave
Raoul was like treason; but to meet him
to face him with such thoughts in my mind!-
rather anything than that 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 our
meal. Raoul might rise at any moment
might come out-he must not find me here!
! rose, stag cred downstairs and rushed along
the passage.
A stout man, muffied up in a 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, l raised my arm and dealt him a vio-
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, ho." said the stout man with the era
vat; 1--WE assault the agents of polices We
raise our hands against the authorities, eh!
Here Jacquot, Bertrandl Bring this fine fel-
low under the light of the lamp there that ]
may have a look at himl Short, fair;
blue eyes-no, it is not our man. You may
let him go. And, young jackanapes, let me
warn you-n
But no sooner had the two men loosed their
hold of me than l had fled like coward, and,
before the stout man had finished his sen
tence, was half way down the Rue Dauphine.

MR.. G. w. SMALLEY, the London
correspondent Of the New York 1rib-
une, writes: "The new volume of
essays by George Eliot appears with
the triple sanction Of Mr.. Charles Lee
Lewes (son of Mr.. George Lewes),
who edits it, Mr.. Cross, who approves
of it, and George Eliot herself, who
collected and revised these papers for
publication. The value which this
writer set on her own work is known,
and there is nothing surprising in her
desire, as her editor phrases it, to
rescue some Of her early essays from
oblivion. The conjuncture Of the two
names Lewes and Cross implies a
slight indifference to conventional
standards in social relations. George
Eliot, however, during the latter part
of her life secured q degree Of tolera,
ton which might well-enough mislead
these two gentlemen into triaing
disregard OF deCorum. 1t is too late
to concern ourselves much about that.
The literary mistake is in republish-
ing these essays at all. They will win
no doubt the usual applause from
those who have made up their minds
TO admire whatever it pleased George
Eliot to write; who admired, for ex-
ample, The Spanish Gypsy or
JuDal,' and who are prepared to
maintii n that. the author Of these
verses was poet"

is not creditable to Congress that soch

OKLAHOMA LAND SWINDLE.
A DANGEROUS SCHEME WORKED
BY TEXAS PARTIES.
A Homestead Promised IN the New
Territory for the Sum Of Two
Dollars.

WASHINGTON, February 4.-Repre-
sentative McRae of Arksnta3 referred
70 the Commiss. ouer # the General
Land Office copy of circular pur-
porting TO be issued by the "pexss
Oklahoma Homestead Colony, Deui-
son, Tex" inviting Membership in
the colony" at a. fee Of 81 each, ard
promising to secure homesteads in
Ok aAoma for members as soon as a
land office sho1ld be established
there. Mr.. McRae requested the
Commissioners opinion as 20 when
the lands would be opened to settle
ment, snd as 10 the benefits to accrue
to members Of the alleged colony.
COMMISSIONER sPARKs's REPLY.
In reply, Commissioner Sparks gives
a history Of the Oklahoma lands, and
states that the question Of opening
these lands to settlement involves a
question OF grave import, that of a
ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Indian Terri
tory, and can be determined only by
Congressional action. Ho further
says: But | have very positive
opinion Il a. no benefit can be derived
from membership in the alleged
colony II the lands were opened
for settlement the agents OF the colo
N.Y. could not MAKE settlement, loca.
ton and entries for the members, be-
cause settlements and settlement en-
tries can be only made by settlers in
perEon. But az the lands are not open
TO settlement, the formation OF an
actual organization for the purpose Of
going into the Oklahoma country
would be encouraging an unlawful
combination. Asa prospective scheme
the only tangible result that can be
perceived is the obtainment by its al
legged promoters of 81 from each per-
son who may be deceived and imposed
upon by said circular. The whole
scheme is undoubtedly an imposition,
and dangerous one, because the
small :sum required for membership
may induce large number Of unsus-
picious persons to become its dupes."
