Henri, and soon concluded that her sto-
ries about her husband were false.
Then lie accused her of his murder In
so many words.
The madam, strong as she was, fell
In swoon, and when she recovered
consciousness confessed everything.
After finding that her husband was
dead, She carried his body to the cell
lar, and there chopped him into con-
venient chunks, with an ak. The
pieces she sewed up in sacks, and ev-
cry night, until the whole body was dis
posed of, she carried a bundle to the
river and threw it in.
Even when this was known most Of
the people sympathized with the wom-
an, knowing how much she had en-
dured. The terrible story was carried
all over Europe, and for weeks to-
gether the newspapers were full of il,
and many years afterwards tourists
went out Of their way to visit the cor
ner of Brittany where Madame Henri
induced her husband to sign the
pledge.
The woman was tried and convicted
in due season. and was sentenced &c
twenty years at hard labor.

curling brown hair. And she was cele-
brated In her own neighborhood for
her physical strength. Without being
bulky or awkward, she had the power
CT two ordinary men In her muscles.
The strongest man In the village was
as an infant in her hands when. to lend
interest to the evening sports. she con-
sented to demonstrate her strength.
So Henri married this lovely and at
tractive girl, and they went to house
keeping, and for a while the husband
was a success. He worked diligently,
and spent his evenings at home, and
his wife managed so successfully that
money was being saved. But all the
time the young man hungered and
thirsted for the bright lights in the
tavern windows. And before long he
began making frequent trips TO the
grog bazaar, and when he returned
home his breath spoke volumes. 1t
went from worse TO worse, as IL usu-
ally does In such cases, and in a few
months Madame Henri had to spend
her evenings alone. The husband was
holding high wassail at the Horn Of
Plenty inn.
It was breaking her heart, and she
pleaded and argued with him, and even
threatened. and all to no avail. Henri
came Keeling home nearly every night,
a spectacle for the gods.
Then a relative OF hers died and left
her a comfortable legacy. She had
long known that this money would
come to her, and when she was mar
ried she and her husband had made
beautiful plans as TO what they would
do with II. They'd buy a little farm
and live happy ever after. And now that
the legacy was hers, Madame Henri
made one last effort to arouse a sane
ambition in her husband. She implored
him to quit his foolishness and help
her carry out the original plans. He
seemed % be reused by her entreaues.
and promised her to refrain from the
dowins bowl forever. He had sown his

last wild oat. She believed him. and
negotiated for a farm she had had her
eyes on for long time. Then one day
she handed him some money to take to
the notary who was conducting the
negotiation.
He didn't take the money to the no
tary. He took 1t to the Horn Of Plen-
ty. Late at night he returned to
his abode In merry humor. He opened
the door and entered, wearing a vacu-
Gus grin. Madame Henri rose from
her chair and faced him, and hot
wave Of anger swept over her. She
forgot her phenomenal strength when
she struck him. He fell to the floor
like sack OF meal, and she realized
that he had taken his last drink.
On succeeding days nelghbors
paused, as usual, at Madame Henri's
garden gate, to gossip a bit, and she
volunteered the information to all Of
them that her husband had quit drink
Ing and was going to settle down. He
had gone away to look at several prop
critics which were for sale, and she
didn't know when he'd be back. After.
wards the neighbors remembered that
she had harped upon this matter In
slstently bringing 1t up every time she
talked with them.
A quarter of a mile away from the
Henri cottage there was a stream, and
upon the bank of this stream there
stood gristmill. One morning as the
miller was going to his daily task, he
observed queer-looking object on one
Of the blades of the waterwheel. With
the help of a long pole, hooked at the
end, he pulled the thing Off the water
wheel and brought 1t to land. II was
coarse sack, containing something
heavy. He opened the sack and beheld
a part of human body. With his
dusty hair on end, he went to the VIII
lage police station, and the officer in
charge accompanied him to the river
bank and inspected the CHASTITY dlscOv-
cry.
"This was done by a woman" said
the village sleuth. "0nly a woman
would have used a needle and thread
on sack. A man would have tied It."
The slarm was given, and the viii
layers helped to comb the stream, and
during the day various similar sacks
were found, all containing fragments
Of a human body, and all sewn with
needle and thread. The head alone
couldn't be found, and the head was
necessary to the Identification of the
victim, and the solution of the mys-
terry. The days went by and no prog
ress was made, but the village sleuth
studied and worried over 1t day and
night, and finally concluded that the abb
sence Of M. Henri would bear lnvestiga-
ton. So he disguised himself after the
manner Of Vidocq and managed to be-
come well acquainted with Madame
