AN ANECOOTE OF MEILHAC.
How He Chose an Heir Mt Party
Given by Nine. POzzi.

How He Chose an Heir Mt a Party
Given by Nine. POzzi.
To finish with an anecdOte about
Meilhac. Two years ago helost his best
friend, NJ. Paul Poirson, whom he had
made his residuary legatee. Meilhac
was much affected by his death, and it
was sometime before he could recover
from the blow. A few months later ON
he became firmly attached 30 NJ. Camden
ak, with whom he collaborated COM
edy for the Francais.
One evening while at a party given
by Nine. Pozzi, he found himself by the
side of NJ. GanderaX, to whom he alb
ruptly said: My dear Ganderax, since
Poirson is dead, will you be my heir"
Surprised at this proposal; n. GanderaN
could not dissemble his confusion. But
my dear friend" replied GrandaX,
you are not dying yet, and can't see
why you should think of your tesla
ment. At all events, you must have old
er friends than myself" Meilhac re-
joined: THAT has nothing TO do with
it. simply ask you, yes or 70, will you
consent to become my heir?" GanderaX
held out his hand an answered: "ln
that case, my dear Meilhac, may con-
slider that, in speaking thus to me, you
ask me if I will be your best friend. l
therefore Willingly accept your pro-
posal."
Remembering the large sums of
money he earned by his pieces, it is
perhaps astonishing that he left such a
small fortune-about 10000. 1t is
true he was generous even to eXtray-
agance, and the more he made the more
he spent. His funeral at the Madeleine
was attended by all the celebrities IN
! art, science and terature.-LondfRl

the revolver, which was fixed above it,
the muZZle pointing to the small hole
in the mortar between two stones. The
spring, however, which caused the eX-
plosiOn OF the pistol, was fastened on
the inner side of the door, and so ar
ranged that either a pressure on the
door or an adverse force compressed it.
My leaning the weight of my hand
against the door when l had stopped
down to peer into the hole had operated
the spring, as haG Jackson's body when
he backed from me.
Clever rascal, that Jackson, and
patient one," remarked Sonntag.
Then you know he robbed the
bank?" l asked.
''Oh, yes, we knew it, and have known
it for some time," Sonntag said, dryly.
Then why was he not arrested" L
continued.
well, we wanted to recover the prop
erty also. He had it hidden around
his hunting-lodge somewhere, we were
quite sure, but he was too cunning for
us, and we could not discover where
it was. Then yesterday you told me
of the walled-up cellar, and knew 1

From what you tell me now, and
what 1 have heretofore thought of your
peculiar ways, I suppose 1 am right in
surmising that you are detective" L
said.
''Yes, am detective" he quietly re-
sponded.
"And your name is not Sonntag?"
''No. Wilson is my name. 1t was
simply stroke of chance that made
me your lawyer and agent for short
time. 1t was necessary to be present
here, and the death of your former
agent came most OPPORTUNITY"

mo. At least believe not"
"And how did you come to suspect
Jackson?" asked, curiousIy.
''By looking up his record"
''Why, was he regular criminal?"
''No. Not until he robbed the bank

Did the detectives know of Mr.. Nor

not, could easily keep secret what I
knew.

ascertaining how much Sonntag, or
Wilson, knew.
He cast upon me one of his whimsical
looks, and after pause replied: "At
first it seemed quite certain there was
some one sonnected with Jackson in the
affair. But now I find there was not"
Here Skinner, who had been listening
to our conversation, glanced quickly up
at Wilson, and L saw some signal
flashed between the two.

you detective, too?" asked of Skin
ner.

ST didn't. l fired in the air. Still,
I did want you to think did. 1t was
for two purposes: One, to brighten you
away until this affair was settled; an
other, to make you really down on me.
| You see, jackson at last seemed to
suspect me, and thought if 1 could
show him you were terribly down on
me it would put me all the closer in
| his confidence"
ooh, you succeeded in making him
believe you were his friend?" I re-
marked. Worked the pal racket on
him, eh?"
''AS much as I could"
"Then you really were not treacher-
Gus to your contract with Miss Nor
ley?"
"Good God, no. Who could play false
| to her?" Skinner exclaimed, in such
convincing tones that was satisfied.
Here Mr.. Perry broke in. Your
name will come out respondent, Mel
son, when the whole truth is known,
and we will take care that it be known
that you allowed yourself to be made
martyr of, by enduring the suspicion
for the sake of aiding the search for
the real robbers. Now then, come, gen.

ner, leaving me to my thoughts.
Poor Florence! My heart was rent
when 1 pictured her grief. And my
promise to Mr.. Morley that she should
never hear anything against her IA
Their to cause a diminution of her love
and respect-how was l to keep that
promise, when the father lay there in
yonder room, shot to death by his part
ner, his tool, his pupil in crime?
Here another pistol-report sounded,
followed by an exclamation of satisfac-
ton from Sonntag, for Immediately the
door swung open.
"Now, then, Mr.. Conway, you can
investigate this mystery" he said, COM
ing toward me.
While Mr.. Perry and Skinner were en-
gagged in searching for the cause of the
voice and the pistol-shots, Sonntag
spoke in low, earnest tones:
where is the man who came down
after you?" he asked.
L pointed toward the inner apart
ment.
What, did Jackson lock him up
there? How did he succeed" Then he
paused, and, holding the lantern higher,
gazed thoughtfully in my face. Dead,
too? You don't mean to tell me!
nodded my head.
Lord Almighty" Sonntag eX-
claimed, and then turned slowly from
me and joined the two at the door.
''Mr. Conway, come here" Mr.. Perry
called to me. ''See," he said, when l
came up, here is the voice.
On one side of the door was wooden
box, in which was a photograph.
You observe this WIRE" began Skin
ner 1T is attached to the instrument,
and runs down seemingly in the
ground. Now I'll go and step on the
plank and see if the wire is not moved
and the photograph set a-going." He
did so, and a Glock-wOrk arrangement
was set in motion which communicated
with the instrument.
LET us see what pulls the wire" said
Mr.. Perry.
We went over to the plank, and saw
that Skinner had raised it so we could
look underneath. There was a steel
spring under one end, which was COM
pressed when weight was put upon
the plank. The compression operated a
lever which pulled the wire attached to
it. The wire ran through an iron pipe
under the stones toward the phOnO-
graph, the other end being fastened to
the clock apparatus as we had already
| seen.

ates the photograph was also used fol
