absence was received from Notary VINO
knew his relations with Paul. The Notary
wrote to inform him of the death within
| three DAYS of Mons and Nine. GCZlin, and
to ask the Whereabouts of Paul. Mons.
| Savieres went to Thoissey and made ar
rangements for the temporary protechon OF
the dead couple until inquiries could be
made for Paul. Savieres, however, had an
| important contract to attend to, and had
put off his inquiries for Paul for few days
Now observe what came to pass.
Savieres, who lived at Chslcns. was on
his way home in lis carriage from Besan-
| con, and had reached the village OF Seure,
where he stopped to bait his horse. Whom
should he see standing at the lnn door,
smoking, but Limace.
The establishment was mutual. 1t was
increased on Saveres' part when he saw
Paul's lovely companion.
This is my wife" said Paul, "or rather
will be my wife"
Paul was grieyed to hear of the death OF
Monsieur and Madsme Colin, although
Savieres informed him that all their prop
erty was his. Sayieres would hear OF moth
ing but that Paul anu Annette should drive
with him 10 Chalons, promising Paul 10 ac-
company him subsequently TO Tholssey,
and see him put in possession of his new
estate. On reaching Chalons, Sayieres
showed Paul the propriety OF placing An
nette in the care of some suitable person
for the present Paul did not want to be
parted from her. but he yielded TO reason
at last. In dne time Paul was Installed in
the farm left by his grand uncle, and mar
ried Annette
The secret of the lesthern bag he had
told to no one. These lhirgs happened in
1885, when there were no railroads, and
news travelled slowly.
Three months afterward Paul went to
Lyons on business There, in a newspaper,
he saw a very long account OF murder
committed some time before, for which
peddler had been convicted and was shortly
to be guillotined. Imagine his feelings rs
he read to discover that the peddler was his
wifes stepfather, and that he was to be
guillotined because there had been found
upon him the very leathern bag which
Paul had given him. and which had been
stolen full of money from the murdered
man.
Paul started to see Savieres, and made a
clean breast of all. In company they went
to Dion, and laid the facts before the au-
thorities. Paul went with the authorities
and pointed out the place where he found
the bag.
The result was that Jean Philater and his
three servant men were arrested for the
murder, for it was shown that the ruin was
on Philater's farm, and that he and his
men were in the habit of using it for many
purposes. And further still, proof was OBJ
tanned that on the evening preceding the
the murder they were seen together within
half mile of the scene of the crime.
Jacques Crinche, one of the servants,
turned evidence against the others, and
their conviction was rendered certain.
Then the poor old peddler was re-
leased and Paul took him down upon
his farm and made him comfortable. Phi
later and his men were duly convicted and
sentenced to imprisonment for life, while
Jacques Crinche got off with two years i'm
prisonment.
Paul restored the 5000 francs to the
widow of the murdered man, and was very
fortunate in escaping some slight punish
ment himself for failing to make known to
the authorities the discovery of what was
evidently the proceeds of a crime of some
sort Cincinnati Enquirer
