began to fail rapidly, but he was able to
join devoutly in the prayers offered at
his bedside. AT 7:eO he became uncon-
scious, and he died at S o'clock. His
death was claim and painless, and APP

ing up the case In his professional capac-
ity, luckily dropped upon a hack driver
from the village of Vigneron, situated
about dozen kilometres from st. Etenne,
who told him that upon the evening of the
Dist inst. he had driven to the foot of the
hill at Chambies a man and a woman,
who, leaving the hack after giving the
driver instructions to wait, returned after
the lapse of about an hour, bringing with
them ayellow valise, evidently very heavy,
for the man appeared to have consid-
cradle difficulty in carrying it. This, it
should be said, was the same valise which
afterward figured in the explosion in the
Rue Clichy. On reaching the toll gate of
Saint Etienne, the couple declared that
the valise contained old iron. upon which
they were allowed to pass without further
formality. Near the mountain Vile
bnutfe- Haul they got out of the vehicle,
satchel and all, and brusqueiy dismissed
the hack.
NJ. Benad made inquiries at Villebeuf lie
Haut, and easily discovered the house in
which the mysterious strangers had taken
up their abode. They had, however given
no names TO the landlord, who was, there
fore, unable to afford any clue in that
direction. But he was in position to
supply incidentally valuable information
in another. For he told NJ. Benad that
his dodgers were constantly receiving
visits from a number of persons whom he
accurately and mlnutely described, and
from these descriptions the chief of de-
tectives satisfied himself that he was on
the track of none other than the notorious
Anarchist, koenigstein- Ravachol, and his
acComplice, the woman Rulliere.
1t was further elected from the hack
driver that a few days after the crime at
Chambles he had been called on by an in
dividual whose demeanor had excited his
suspicious. The man, the hack driver
plainly perceived, was in condition of
disquiet, even TO the extent of wearing
false beard. He asked the driver If be
were not the same who drove a man and
woman recently to Chambles, but the
drivers suspicious were aroused and he re-
piled evaslvely. Then the stranger re-
quested him TO drive him TO Saint-Just-
Sur-Doire, distance OF some ten miles.

reason, that everything was not right, the
driver refused the offer.
