and could not be induced to tell his

mounted In the American Museum Of
Natural History. Mr.. Brown found

entombed in the rocks Of Alberta, Can
ada, where 1t once had roamed through
tropical glades. Hardly piece was
missing of the II feet from tip Of tail
to nose. But the pieces had to be
sorted. This cretaceous, herbc eating
animal was rich in toes and teeth. In
the mouth, which was guarded by a
horny sheath, nestled 60 teeth, 30 in
each jaw and double rooted. Five toes
graced each of the front and hind feet.
Many of these toes were adorned by
hoofs. The specimen is considered a
rare find.

campaign she and NJ. Juvet and n
couple of servants were the only sur
vivors of the household.
Then Marie, still intent upon doing
good. went to nurse a Madame Le-
noir, and the madame's funeral oc-
Cured a few days after her arrival.
By this time her reputation as a death
angel was beginning to attract atten-
ton, and she found 1t difficult to get
patients. The strange thing Is that
nobody seemed to suspect her up to this
time. Time and again the doctors
had found Indications of poisoning in
her suffering patients, and yet they
seemed unable to believe that Marie
could be anything but what she
seemed. 1t is this that makes the
story of her career remarkable. She
was careless to the point Of reckless
ness. She would predict the early
death of people in perfect health, and
when these people died nobody seemed
to see anything strange in It. It
speaks much for her ingratiating man.
ner that she could SO long be "shak-
ing from out her condor wings invisi-
BILE woe," and still avoid suspicion.
When at last she was arrested. It
was easy to secure the proofs of her
crimes, and the Indictment against her
accused her of the murder of nine per-
sons. Her attempts at murder were
too numerous for consideration.
She was an artist in crime. She
had none of the ordinary motives. 1t
was art for arts sake with her. She
never tried to profit by her horrid
deeds. She was willing to work for
nothing any time, IL 1t would give her
chance to remove somebody. She
was absolutely pitiless and enjoyed
the sufferings Of her victims. "Death
had such beautiful moments" she said,
when asked why she committed her
crimes. "There is poetry in poison"
she remarked, upon another occasion.
She died in 1884, in her little white
cell, and to the last she retained her
weird beauty. Her marble white face,
with its beautiful dark eyes, haunted
the memories of the thousands who
journeyed to Geneva to see the
strangest criminal Of modern times.

IT don't ask for salary" said the
gentle, soft-eyed girl. II have private
means, and don't need the money. My
ambition Is to do what good I can,
by ministering to the sick and suffer-
ing"
Madame Juvet was sure she had
gained treasure when she engaged
Marie. The hospital was opened, and
Marie soon was in full control. De-
spite her gentle, yielding manners, she
had will of iron. The madame. as
well as the staff, took their orders
from her. Madame Juvet had two
bright children, boy and girl. Marie
professed to be very fond of them.
and one day she said to the mother ::
II am afraid Julie is very delicate, and
I am sure Emile is about to be seri-
| ously SICK" The mother was amused,
for the children were pictures of
health. Meanwhile Marie told some
Of the servants, in strict confidence.
that she was greatly worried over
Madame Juvet. "She Is a doomed
woman" said Marie; II read her fate
In her eyes"
Presently Julie fell sick and then
little Emile, and then Madame Juvet
took to her bed, suffering miserably.
The doctors came and were puzzled.
They seemed to recognize the symp-
toms of poisoning, but poisoning was
impossible. Was not all the medicine
administered by that gentle creature
with the yearning eyes7 There was SO
much sickness in the house that Emile
was sent away, and his life was saved.
Julie grew worse and died at Christ
mas time, 1867, and month later her
mother died and almost her last word
was an expression Of gratitude to the
faithful nurse who had been at her
bedside night and day through SO many
weary weeks.
Meanwhile Marie had not been
neglecting her other opportunities.
During the lingering sickness of
Madame Juvet three patients in the
hospital died. and it was afterwards
proved that their deaths were due to

THE POETRY OF POISON.

The prison regulations at Geneva
are extremely liberal, SO for many
years prior to 1884, hundreds of tour
lists from all over the world were per-
mltted to see and converse with Marie
Jeanneret, "the Swiss Brinvilliers."
Marie's cell was large, comfortable,
well-lighted room. and there she sat,
day after day, making lace and exult-
ing in the fact that her fame was
worldwide.
Having no conscience. and being in
capable of remorse, Marie has been
described by the historians of crime
as monster. However abhorrent her
character may have been, there was
nothing repulsive in her appearance
