widow Bazire. found no solution to
this riddle, and yet felt convinced
that this laxative woman, who twice
had led me astray, had committed the
murder. But what had prompted her?
Tired out, slept, and then had a
strange vision. fancied saw Mad
anne Bazire's bedroom. with It's ban
ners, its Virgins, its Saint Josephs,
on the walls. saw the poor old lady
returning from mass, carrying her
prayer-book under her arm. She was
out of breath, having mounted the
stairs. She sat down On a chair, and
after a while rose, opened her door,
and, selling the trunk. dragged it
along the floor.
All at once a woman, fury, rushed
into the room, swinging rope in her
right hand.
Il am sick of your psaIm-singing
tricks" she shouted. You shall no
longer wake me up with your tram

And rushing at Madame Bazire,
who had not the strength to utter a
cry, she threw the rope around her
neck and pulled upon it with all her
might.
A rafting noise, and all was over
Madame Bazire was dead.
The fury turned around, and / rec
ognized Madame L.. She looked
a moment at her victim and burst in
to loud, insane laugh:

him.

he may be bad egg, but I doubt
whether he has anything to do with
this business .
MY inspector looked surprised.
But, excuse me, sir he insisted;
what about the two coins, and espe-
cially the linen? And his cock-and-
bull story of not knowing who gave
them to him? He doesn't look like a
man who received so many presents
that he cannot remember the adj
dresses or even the names OF the
donors

cious." | retorted, but there are
things that escaped your notice. When
he was brought here, not knowing
what was wanted from him, he APP

collection OF misdeeds on his con

that sent for him in connection with
the Bazire murder his face retained
the scared expression, but his fingers
became calm, as If to say, We had no

The next day had to release the
man from custody. Ten trustworthy
witnesses proved that he had speEt

awakened by the noise Of the trunk
The old woman had come back from
church. jumped out OF bed, ran up
stairs, threw her on the floor, and
twisted the cord around her neck"
She remained a moment silent. and
then. with an uncanny laugh, re-
sumed:
1T was as easy as possible. She
did not utter sound. A child Of sir
could have done it."
And them" she yelled, her eyes
darling flames, "and then / took her
trunk, her dirty trunk, and threw Il
on her back, calling out: You will

the dirty clock she liked so much, and
I shrieked into her ear: You will

Madame L stood for a moment
motionless: she then opened the hall

great commonwealth of Michigan was
bankrupt. Has anyone ever heard Il
word Of protest from him as TO the

with which our Congress deals, 1t is.
