she would show him what was which.
Elise had been thrifty all the days
of her life, and had a neat little pack
age of francs put away for the rainy
day. No oon 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 a h~undredfold. After max
ing several loans she concluded that
the security was too shadowy, and she
refused to loosen up any more. Pei
glared at her with his wicked red
yes and told her that she was read
ing her own death warrant.
For many hours after this Peps
furnace fire ragged f~uriously. Black
smoke belched from his chimney in
a steady stream, and at night a red
glare streamed from the chinks in
the window boarding. 1t happened
that a young man of the neighborhood
confessed to curiosity as his chief
weakness, and his curiosity overcame
his fear to such an extent that he got
a ladder, and quietly placed it against
Pel's boarded window; then he
climbed up and had a good view, owe
the top of the boards, of the interior
Of the house.
The neighbors waited at a distance,
marveling at the holiness 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 mere 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 a 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
another, trying to explain the 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 matchmaker. It was
then suspected that Pei had poisoned
Elise, and, after her death, dismem-
bered the body and burned it. 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 I'M
fortunate as to become associated
with Pei had died or disappeared sud
denly and m~ysteriously; and it was
recalled that Pei often had boasted of
the discovery of a poison which left
no traces. His first wife had died
some years before, and the doctor had

not 50 ready for the Truth as were

immortality and irreligion are popular
minds having a religious trend are APT
to be more free, more open for the
Truth. dissatisfied by Journalism, this
class more keenly recognize righteous
ness because of its sharp contrast with
the sin Astounding.
Apparently st. Paul was considerably
downcast at this time. His rough ex
periences at Philippi. his small success
at Athens. the slenderness of his purse
and his need of fellowship contributed
to make him SO; and he informs us
that the Lord encouraged him with a
vision. Soon after his arrival at
Corinth he found Aquila and Priscilla
his wife. They were tent-makers; and
this being the Apostles trade, he
abode with them and labored. At that
time it was customary that the sons
of the upper classes should learn a
trade, however we'll educated other
wise. st. PauFs trade enabled him to
provide for his necessities while preach
ing the GOspel-not that it would have
been a sin for him to receive sup
port from the believers. but that be
hoped that the Gospel would commend
itself the more if its chief e%xpounder
preached the Truth without charge,
laying down his life for the brethren.
The Progress of His Mission.
Notwithstanding his discouragements
and the fact that his labors barely pro
vided for his maintenance, the Apostle
never forgot that his chief mission in
life was the preaching of the Gospel.
We read that every Sabbath day he
reasoned with the Jews in the syna-
gogue. Finally Silas and Timothy ar
rived. bringing with them not only
good fellowship and encouraging news,
but also a gift-quite probably from
Lydia, the seller of purple dyes. The
effect of these announcements was
that the Apostle felt a fresh vigor urg-
ing him to present his Message more
zealously and thus to bring matters to
a focus at the synagogue.
After t~estifying with great boldness
and finding that the Message was re
PEELED by the majority of the syna-
gogue, the Apostle forced the crisis by
shaking his garment, as if not to take
from them even the dust. and saying to
those who had opposed and blasphem-
ed, "Henceforth I go to the Gentiles."
The effect was good in two ways;
U 1t helped Crispus, the ruler of the
synagogue, to take a decided stand
whereas otherwise he might have been
stunted in his spiritual development.
