TO assist at an operation in the guise
of assistant physicians? You, M.
Bunsen, shall administer the chic
reform. And our friend, Mr..
shall sterilize the instruments"
You are going to operate on the
counts head?" inquired Bunsen in
credulously.
Not on his head, but on his soul. .
replied Doctor Mattel. "But there is
no time to lose in offering explana-
tons now. If you are with me, gen.
tlemen. pray take your seats in the
adjoining compartment-not that in
which Count Berchtold sits. but on
the other side-and wait till you hear
the cue.'
Our train was of the usual CONT
mental type. There was a corridor
running the length of the coach along
one side. communicating with the sew
eral compartments by means of doors,
which could be kept open or closed,
according to the wishes of the occu-
piers. Each compartment was thus
accessible from every other. There
were five to the coach. Berchtold
occupied the first, but his door was
closed; Mattel was now the sole oc-
cupant of the second, and we two were
in the third. In the fourth were two
elderly maiden ladies, and in the
fifth humble-looking tradesman and
little boy. Whatever Mattel was de-
vising, the chances Of interference
were practically NIL
We had been in the second COM
partment about five or six minutes
when the sound of a pistol shot, star
tied cry, and evidences of a struggle
In the counts compartment brought
US to our feet in the corridor. The
bell-rope communicating with the en-
CINE was jerked furiously; then came
the sound of a second shot, the maiden
ladies screamed, the tradesman rushed
toward us, trembling with fear, and
we burst into the counts compart-
ment.
The outer door swung open, and
at the window we saw Mattel, masque-
rading in an old coat and despera-
dos SLOUGH hat, waving still smok-
ing pistol. AS we looked he seemed

look of surprise with which he must
have witnessed Mattefs intrusion. He
was pressing his hand to his side.

cushions.
The two old ladies, the tradesman,

open door and stared at the specta-

counts coat, over the heart. The dread
full suspicion came to me that Mattel
had actually killed Berchtold. The
train had stopped, the guard came
hurriedly along the footboard from
carriage to carriage, followed by a
mob of excited passengers.
"Murder!" shouted somebody. "A
highwayman!" An assassin!
Search the track!"
And just then Doctor Mattel came
bustling along the corridor, dressed
as when had seen him, and wearing
highly professional and important
air.

scalding hogs; so he soused the mt
into a barrel of hot water. He either
held the pig in the water too lOug
or did not have it hot enough. for in
spite of all his scraping, the bristles
would not come off. He then thought
of his uncle's razors, and getting
them, he shaved the pig from nose
to tail.
When the bishop returned, he con.
graduated his nephew on the splendid
appearance of the pork. But when be
tried to shave the next day, he dis.
covered that the razors would not
work. What he said and did we may
imagine, but we do not know.

nearer.
