at Odessa and he set of at once for
Paris. Arrived here, he called at the
rooms of Mile. Gilinsky in the Rue
Malebranche. and violently protested
against her forthcoming marriage.

been needless expense, as he knew
well that she did not love him and
had no desire TO see him. At these
words the young man suddenly drew
revolver from his pocket and fired
at the girl. wounding her slightly
He then turned the weapon against
himself. and fell dead. Mile. Gilincky,
