Night Was Stormy.

Tho hours passed. The night
grew wild and stormy, as though
nature were angry at his terrible
crime. but still he kept on the high
road to Rouen, by which, passing
through the town, he At
last reached the see at Q
little fishins village called Vsu-
lettes. a little place halfway
between Fecamp and St. valery.
Thence he went along to Les
Petits.Dallss, whore. instead Of a
wide. shingly beach, there are
cliffs, against which, in the dark
ness, the heavy waves of the Eng.
lish Channel were beating.
The road to 81. Pierre ran--es
he already knsw-slong the cliffs.
Therefore, at a little jstty which
ran out into the sea, which he had
noted when staying with his wife
at st. Vslery, three summers be-
fore, he pulled UP the car. No one
was In sight. therefore he took out
the two sacks, and flung them one
after the other from the jetty into
the roaring sea.
He had calculated. by the tide
table, that It was running out. so
the sacks would be carried away.
But the wind was 70 strong that
he could scarcely hrcast II, and a
wave suddenly drsnohed him. Hav.
ing rid himself OF evidence Of bis
awful deed, he rs-entsred his cor
and drove on, hoping to find the
road back to Rouen by way of
Moteville. and thence to Paris.
He was In high spirits. and
whistled to himself ns he drove
along. filled with satisfaction at
knowing that he had, by the re-
moval Of Madame Collomb, placed
himself In possession Of all her
property.
Further, as far as he was aware,
the woman had no friends who
might make awkward inquiries a.
to her whereabouts, except. per

his country villa, to see that all
was IN order. To old villroy, the
shoemaker at 0ambais, he had
given q pair Of boots TO mend, und
had paid him generously for them.
In addition. he had made friends
with Madame F7eury. the keeper
Of the little cafe. and also with a
farmer named Bonnot. who lived
st Les Eoues, about a mile away.
He intended to visit ono or other
OF his newly-made friends, for he
knew that they would gossip and
sing his praises along the country
side. Landru believed In making
many acquaintances and impress
ing upon them that he was filled
with good nature and q generous,

cleverness In posing as a man Of

long road from Paris. up tho steep
hill at Versailles. and than out by

which led out to Houdan. The
day was cheeriess and bitterly cold,
and he was half frozen at the
