this about, but the details are not es-
sential to this story.
Everything being in readiness, Avril
was so foolish as to be arrested, while
trying to rescue lady friend from the
police. So, at the eleventh hour, Lace
naire had to go forth and seek another
assistant. Reliable help of that kind
is hard to find when most needed, but
after much trouble the poet accepted
as his partner a gentleman named
Francois, to whom homicide was fad.
1t was said of him, in his own haunts,
that he would kill a man for a sou,
which was cheap enough. to be sure.
Francois. however, should have
known better than to eat oranges be-
fore committing crime. Or, II he
couldn't get along without oranges, he
should have realized that it was bad
to drop the peel on the floor of busi-
ness mans Office.
At the appointed hour the bank
messenger arrived at the Office with
his little bag fairly bulging with
money, and securities. Lacenaire, the
smiling, the fascinating, asked him TO
seat himself at the table and examine
certain papers. The messenger did so,
and while the poet engaged him In
conversation, and held his whole atten-
ton, Francois came up behind, dag
ger in hand. to stab him to the heart.
Francois, who had studied murder un-
der the old masters, knew how to
reach the heart from any angle or po-
sition. This looked like an easy and
sure job! But, maledictions on the
orange peel! His foot slipped just as
he delivered the blow. The messenger
was stabbed, but not mortally, or even
seriously. With a yell Of terror he
leaped for the door and reached 1t
first, and ran down the stairs yelling
murder. Francois also sped away,
and Lacenaire followed close at the
messengers heels, also yelling murder,
thus diverting suspicion until he
reached the street and was lost in the
crowd.
He felt that Paris was no place for
him just then, so he departed for the
provinces, where for a long time he
lived opulently. He wrote much poetry
at this time, and it was good poetry.
which sold readily; but he was too
wise to depend upon the muse for
living, so, when not embalming things
in song he devoted his genius to for
gerry, and with great success. When
he returned to Paris he was attired in
purple and fine linen, and was credit
| to the boulevards.
Meanwhile Francois had been. ar
rested on some trifling charge, and

LAUGHING LACENAIRE.

On December IA. 1884, a gentleman
of distinguished appearance walked
briskly along a quiet street near the
Chopinette barrier, in Paris.
This pedestrian. who looked distin-
guished even under the handicap of
threadbare garments, was about thirty
five years old. He was rather small of
stature, but carried himself proudly.
His face was refined and intellectual
the face Of poet and dreamer. In
deed, at that hour all Paris was whis-
tling and singing one of his songs,
''The Fife and the Drum" He had the
hands and hair of an artist, and the
joyous carefree laugh of boy. 1t
was a good thing to hear Lacenaire
laugh.
Behind Lacenaire there walked a
man of vulgar appearance. His name
was Avril. He was quite young, not
more than twenty-five, and he had
been so unfortunate as criminal that
Lacenaire was sorry for him, and was
determined to give him a chance to dc
better work.
Presently they stopped before q
dwelling of prosperous appearance.
"This is the place." said Lacenaire
'Do you remember my instructions
quite clearly? Yes? Then allons vite!' y
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-10-06

The poet rang the doorbell, and the
door was opened by young man.
"Ah, my dear ChardOn," cried Lace
naire, 1--WE have come to see your moth
er on a trifie of business-the mere
signing of paper"
1--WE are greatly honored, M. Lace
naire," replied Chardon. Mother, as
you know, is an invalid, and is in her
bed, but she can do what you ask"
They stood face to face, Chardon
and Lacenaire, and the latter gossiped
gayly of one thing and another, while
Avril stole quietly behind ChardOn,
and, having stationed himself prop
erly, at a wink from the poet he threw
his arm around ChardOn's neck and
garroted him. Lacenaire drew dag
ger then, and stabbed the victim sew
eral times, to make the job complete,
then he went to the room Of the in
valid mother and slew her with the
weapon that killed the son.
There should be 10000 francs here
somewhere, according to my informa-
ton" said Lacenaire. Lock the door,
my friend, and we'll search till we find
the money"
Avril locked the door, and they
searched and searched, but all they
found was 500 francs. Lacenaire,
whose sense of humor was abnormally
developed, laughed until the tears
rolled down his cheeks. 1t was this
insensibility. displayed on many tragic
and narrowing occasions, that made
him one of the most Dmous criminals
Of modern times.
as the joke on US or on the Char
dons" he asked, as he wiped the JOY
Gus tears from his face. He wanted
to get away. Those dead people were
getting on his nerves. So they left
the house, and went to an inn, where,
over sundry bottles of cheap wine,
Lacenaire planned larger and better
crime.
He rented an office and painted an
assumed name on the door, thus ere
ating the impression that he was q
business man. Then, by laying his
plans carefully, he arranged that a
bank messenger should call upon him
In his Office on a certain day, the cho-
sen day being one on which collections
were sure to be large. 1t took great
deal of skillful maneuvering to bring
Tensas gazette. [volume] (St. Joseph, La.) 1886-current, 1916-10-06

Avril still was i'm Jail. The crimes in
which they had been concerned were
complete mysteries to the police, and
it seemed that they would always re-
main so, when Francois dropped few
words which made the police suspi-
cious. and they drew from him the story
of the attack upon the bank messen-
ger. Avri's conscience became active
about the same time, and he told of
the Chardon murders. So it came to
pass that the poet was arrested, and
when he learned that the discovery
was due to his accomplices, he made
full confession, his only object, he said,
being to take the betrayers to the
guillOtine with him.
The trial was a famous one. The
most celebrated people Of France
crowded to the courtroom to see the
laughing Lacenaire, who was dressed
like prince. He laughed and joked
throughout the proceedings, and drove
Avril and Francois to frenzy time
and time again by his ridicule. Upon
several occasions the guards had to
hold them, they were so anxious to
get at his throat.
Francois was sentenced to life i'm
prisonment, and Lacenaire and Avril
to death. So one day in 1885 these
two made their last appearance in
public. Avril died first. and met his
fate with british calmness. Lacenaire
tried to appear jaunty and joyous. but
it was with an effort. He was excited
and nervous. Being man of imagina-
ton, a poet and artist, death meant
more to him than to an ordinary crimi-
nal. He fought for self-cOntrol With
mental courage that is more heroic
than any physical courage. Badly
scared, he tried to seem undaunted.
But it was his fate to undergo an ex-
traordinary ordeal that would break
down any courage. The guillotine
wouldn't work. Time and again the
ak descended to within an inch or tw.
Of his neck and then stuck, and the
executioner fumbled with 1t, raised II,
and let it fall again. The tortured
man twisted himself around so that he
could look upward. and uttered an
