small scrap of half-burned paper.
One side of the sheet. longitudinally,
had been burned completely away;
the other side, although too charred
and brittle to be lifted from its posi-
tion, still showed clearly upon it the
marks of handwriting.
Duvall examined the bit of paper
carefully. Some Of the words which
he managed to make out filled him
with interest. He called gently to
Mile. Mercier and asked her il she
now felt sufficiently recovered to
come and look at the handwriting.
The girl rose slowly from the couch
and, trembling from her recent expert
ence, crossed the room.
Here" said Dumas, pointing at
the bit of paper. Can you read it?
Can you recognize the handwriting?
Look here in this corner, where the
paper is only slightly scorched. Does
what you see mean anything to you?"
The letter was in French. The girl
stared at it for some time in silence.
Then look of sadness crossed her
face. at is my fathers handwriting"
she said. 81 did not recognize it at
first, but now see clearly. What
does it mean?"
ut MEANS" remarked Dumas slow
ly, that this is the real letter that
your father wrote to you on his DEATH
bed. 1t means that the man who left
here short time ego is not Charles
Vernon, as he calls himself, but Hart
mann, the murderer of George Vernon
and of l;einhardt, the doctor. And /
fear it also means" he concluded sor-
rowfully, that Whatever was in that
letter is lost TO US forever"
"Why do you suppose he burned
it," asked the girl.
mo doubt the message whatever
1t was that the letter contained he
has safely in his memory. The pres
ence of the letter itself is an evidence
of guilt which he showed excellent
Judgment in destroying. If found on
his person it would at once connect
him with the tragedy which ok place
aboard the Richelieu."
