At this moment we herad a step

The front door OF the house
had been left open, and the visitor
had entered without ringing, and
advanced several steps upon the
staircase. Now, however, he
seemed to hesitate. Presently we
heard him descending. Dupin
was moving quickly to the door,
when we again heard him coming
up. He did not turn back a sec

cision, and raped at the door OF
our chamber.

cheerful and hearty tone.
A man entered. He was sail

certain daredevil expression OF

"Sit down, my friend" said Du-
pin. 81 suppose you have called
about the ourang-outang. Upon
my word / almost envy you the
possession of him; a remarkable
fine, and no doubt a very valuable
animal. How old do you suppose
him to be?"
The sailor drew a long breath,
with the air of man relieved of
some intolerable burden, and then
replied in an assured tone:
81 have no way of telling-but
he can't be more than four or five
yers old. Have you got him
here?"
ooh, no; we had no conven-
fences for keeping him here. He
is at livery stable In the Rue
Dubourg, just by. You can get
him in the morning. OF course
you are prepared to identify the
property"
"To be sure I am, SIR
II shall be sorry to part with
him." said Dupin.
II don't mean that you should
be at all this trouble for nothing,
SIR" said the man. Couldn't ex-
pect 1t. Am very willing to pay
a reward for the finding of the
animal-that is to say, anything in

"Well," replied my friend,
that is all very fair, to be sure.
Let me think!-what should 1
have? Oh! I will tell you. My
reward shall be this: You shall
give me all the information in
your power about these murders
in the Rue Morgue."
Dupin said the last words In a
very low tone, and very quietly.
Just as quietly, too, he walked
towards the door, locked 1t, and
put the key in his pocket. He
then drew q pistol and placed 1t,
without the least furry. upon the
table.
The sailors face flushed I'D as
If he were struggling with suffo-

and grasped his cudgel, but the
next momept he fell back into
his seat, trembling violently, and
with the countenance of death

pitied him from the bottom OF my
bert.
"My friend" said Dupin In a
kind tone, "you are alarming
yourself unnecessarily-you are
indeed. We mean you no harm
whatever. / pledge you the hon.

True; and you will remember
an expression attributed almost
unanimously, by the evidence, to
this voice-the expression Mon

of evpostulation. Upon these two
words, therefore, I have mainly
built my hopes of a full solution
of the riddle. A Frenchman was

choice of field. His churches contributed to
