he was O professor Of the Sorbonne,
and that his chemical discoveries had
startled the world. A strange man was
Monsieur Pei; so strange that he was
sent to q lunatic asylum once and re-
manned there for a year or two, after
which experience he resumed his
Matchmaking and his chemical expert
ments.
1t was thirty odd years ago that q
woman named Elise Boehmer con-
sented to accept q situation as house
keeper in the Pei establishment. This
was just after the watchmaker's Sec
ond wife and her mother had made .
sudden and mysterious exit from the
house. The second wife and her moth
er were wretchedly i'll when this hap
pened, and they remained in the
neighborhood only long enough to re-
cuperate sufficiently to travel. They
we're not communicative. The most
they would say was that they thanked
God they had got away from that
house alive.
This circumstance increased the un-
popularity of Pei. What was going
on in his house. that two women
talk that way?
The friends Of Elise Boehmer tried
to persuade her not to take the job.
1t would be far better for her to work
herself to death as a charwoman than
to be associated in any way with
man who certainly was in league with
the powers of darkness. But Elise
laughed at such advice. She had q
mind Of her own. The mystery OF the
Pei home attracted her. Moreover,
she was a big, strong woman. and the
matchmaker was thin and frail, and

she would show him Whist was which.
Elise had been thrifty all the days
OF her life. and had . neat little pack
age Of francs put away for the rainy
day. No sooner had she begun work
ing for Pei than he began borrowing
her money. He was engaged in an ex-
pertinent which would make him rich.
and everything she loaned him would
be repaid . hundredfold. After max
ing several loans she concluded that
the security was too shadowy. and she
glared ut her with his wicked red
eyes and told her that she was read
ing her own death warrant.
For many hours after this Pers
furnace IRE ragged furiously. Black
smoke belched from his chimney in
q steady stream. and at night q red
glare streamed from the chinks in
the window boarding. 1t happened

weakness. and his curiosity overcame
his fear to such an extent that he got
q ladder. and quietly placed 1t against
Pel's boarded window: then he
climbed up and had a good view. over
the top OF the boards, Of the interior
Of the house.
The neighbors waited at a distance,
marveling at the boldness of the young
man. and praying that he might return
alive. He did. He came back to
them and told them. in a sobbing
whisper, that he had seen more than
he expected to see Pei was stocking
his furnace furiously and anon throw
ing strange fuel into It, The young
man was sure that this fuel was frag-
ments OF human body. Moreover,
there were prints OF hands on the
wall. and these prints looked as
though they might be in blood.
Nothing was done until morning.
and then the officers went to the
house. Pel's fire had gone out. and
there was a heap Of white ashes in
the furnace. But there was plenty of
evidence that a great crime had been
committed, and that Elise Boehmer
had been destroyed. Pei was taken
to Jail. where he told one lie after
dHOlucT, Trying u 0Xplhlu tN0 WOm-
ans disappearance. Then there ap-
peared at the police station a woman
who said that she had called at Pel's
house to see Elise Boehmer. and had
found her alone and in commissions.
Elise evidently was dying. and the
woman hurried away. and kept what
she had seen to herself. so great was
her fear Of the watchmaker. 1t was
then suspected that Pei had poisoned
Elise. and, after her death. dismem-
bered the body and burned 1t. This
proved to be the case. and the enorm.
ity of the crime has given the red
eyed matchmaker a conspicuous place
in the chronicle of bloody deeds.
While France was simmering with
excitement over this grotesque crime,
further revelations increased that ex.
element. Somebody remembered that
various women who had been SO un-
fortunate as 20 become associated
with Pei had died or disappeared sud.
