CHAPTER XII.

Chateau VIlleneuve, Charles D'Auburon
had found himself the untrammeled pos
sessor of a considerable patrimony, and
had started in to enjoy life. He was then
twenty-one years of age. Two years later
he had exhausted every means of pleasure
He was at that age when a really good
woman would have proved his salvation.
She did not, however, make her appear
ance. He was destined to find relief In
a more novel and totally unexpected d.
rection.
The Rue Brodier is not particularly
attractive street either before or after
midnight. The police will assure you
that it is positively dangerous. Many
sunrise has revealed the body of some
victim lying in its dark courts and moi
some alleys. 1t Is altogether a strange
place for a young man of MEANS who by
rights should at such an hour be snugly
in bed and asleep, to be wandering In at
three o'clock in the morning. 1t Is the
abode Of robbers. Every house in it is a
den Of thieves. The Seine, running by
at Its foot with dark and turbid food,
is altogether too handy.
1t was to this unattractive street that
at an unseenly hour Charles D'Auburon
strayed with unconscious feet. He had
arisen from sleepless bed, and had
strolled far and near, intending to tire
himself out Then his reward would
come repose, sound and refreshing, and,
glorious thought, perhaps an appetite, to
which latter luxury he had been for some
days stranger.
He walked on, totally unconscious of
danger thick stick his only weapon, in
all the confidence of man who has never
felt the crack Of n brass knuckle in the
hand Of garroter or made the acquaint-
ance Of a sandbag.
Dark figures were creeping from the
alleys behind him. Mysterious whistles
resounded and re-echoed from the courts
| Something told him Of his danger He
stopped and looked up at name on the
corner house, just legible in the dingy
| lamp light. To what part of Paris had
| he wandered? He was In the Rue Brodier
| 1nvoiuntarily be turned to retrace his
steps, only to find himself confronted by
a half score of sturdy ruffians. He grasp
ed his stick the tighter and backed closer
to the wall. His face was very pale !;
but he did not show any sign Of fear.
"You will go on" he answered, defart-
ly, "or | will call the police.'
'The police! But few of those cattle
make their beats in the Rue Brodier, even
in the daytime" retorted the leader of
the ruffians. Come, your money, young
master"
D'Auburon put his hand in his pocket
and flung into the air what silver and
gold he had about him. 1t fell upon the
pavement under the street lamp They
rushed at it like beasts. Then D'Au-
buron lost his nerve. lie thought he sa "
his opportunity. He sprang into the
, middle of the street and ran like deer
The mob rushed after him. He would
have Gistanced them all, perhaps, he was

HERE'S A REPORT THAT

In some manner = report has been

few days ago foretold the destruction
Of Florence next month. It 10 not
known who the man is that made the
remark or upon what he based It,
Neither is it known whether he 10 an
astrologist or one Of the many fake
fortune tellers who come to Florence

taking heed of the prediction. but II
there is any truth to 1t, 1t might be
we'll to take warning.
He did not say how the town was
to be destroyed (?) whether 1t was to
be by food. fire or wind There Ia
one thing certain that 1t would take a
mighty rise of water to come up to
Main street. This was proven in the

FROM OUR
CORRESPONDENTS
PINE GROVE.

May 1-Our town presented lively
appearance on Monday evening the
18th inst. And our people enjoyed a
rare treat when the Rev. Pickard of
Suffer Greek, gave a very pleasing
and instructive lecture in the M. n.
church, the subject of the discourse
being "Ihe tower of Babel and char
acter building" And Judging by the
attention of the audience it was thor
oughly enjoyed by all present. The
gentleman presented some beautiful
ideas in the thought that we from
infancy are builders, whether build
ing upward and advancing or is it
downward. He was also accompanied
by his wife, who assisted in the even
ing's pleasure by singing several
beautiful and appropriate songs, in
which the lady showed marked ability.
Rev. pickard and wife we're assisted
by buss load (16 in number) Of
Suffer Creeks talented young ladies
and gentlemen, who rendered some
very pleasing selections in songs, each
carrying the part in faultless
manner, and another very appreca-
tive feature of the evenings enter
tainment was a choice selection play
ed on the cornet by one of the gentle
men. At the conclusion of the even
ing's program the ladies' aid served
lemonade, cake, coffee and sand
witches, which put the finishing
touches to a most enjoyable evening.
would state that Rev. Pickard and
wife. with the above mentioned choir
of Suffer Greek, kindly donated the
services of the evening for the benefit
of the Pine Grove M. h. church, and
we extend unanimous thank you.

The Inquest on the Body
of Jas. H. Roberts

The inquest on the body of James
found dead some five miles from Pine
Grove on the 9Th instant. was resumed
on the 18th instant at Pine Grove. 1t
was thought at first that it was a case
of murder, that the old man had been
killed for the purpose of securing
money he had or was supposed to
have out of an estate in Texas, the
report being that he had been left
$4,000 in cash and half interest in a
ranch in that state. There was no
testimony developed to show that he
had received any money; indeed it is
pretty we'll settled that the Iagacy
was not expected until the 10th, some
ten days after he lost his life.
The jury found that deceased was
native of Kentucky, uged 65 years,
and that he came to his death by a
dislocation of the neck, but how be
received the fatal injury there was no
evidence to show. 1T is believed that
it was case of accidental death.
Deceased was last seen alive on
May 1st. lie visited the place of
Cory Mckenzie, some distance from
his own cabin. lie was addicted to
drinking, but whether he was under
the influence of liquor on this occas-
sion we have not heard. In attempt
ing to make the home journey from
MGKenzie's he is believed to have lost
his life. The trail was rough, and in
places the hillside was steep. 1t is
supposed that he stumbled, and
pitched down the hill in such
manner as to cause dislocation of
the neck. Articles of clothing,
such as hat, etc., were found some dis
lance from the body. There was
nothing to indicate any struggle, or
that anyone was with him when he
met with the fatal injuries. A few
bruises were visible about the face,
no doubt received in falling.
lie was prospector, ana had been
living in the county about six years
Nothing Is known of him prior to his
coming TO this county, and so far as
known he has no relatives in Amador
county. The remains were forwarded
to relatives in Los Angeles for inter
ment.
