Story of the Craze at Vernenik'

ION the Monday Passal expressed a wish
to test the coffin and the air pipe. He had
been fasting for two days in preparation for
his ordeal. In the evening, therefore, he got
into the box, which then securely nailed up.
He remained there from IL o'clock at night
until in the morning, under practically the
same conditions that he would have to face
during the actual burial in the Wood OF
Verneuil.
"Quite all right he declared. when opened
the box and he got out. He was rather
fatigued but entirely satisfied.
whilst Pascal mailing the pieces OF
wood together I dug the grave. Everything
being ready, Clement handed me hundred and
fifty francs for expenses and then took off his
boots, coat and trousers. He got into the box
which we had previously lowered into the hole.
and with his trousers under his head and half
a pound of chocolate within easy reach made
himself ready for the mailing on of the lid.
"For a quarter of an hour he talked to me
In reassuring terms, saying I wasn't to get
anxious about him. Then, after he had re-
minded me not to forget to post the letters
It the post Office near the Opera, he settled
himself down comfortably the lid was placed
in position and filled in the grave with earth.
when left the spot I threw the pick and
shovel away near the white line which Pascal
himself had marked on the roadway as a sign
to those who were to rescue him later on. Re-
turning to the villa at o'clock, after walking
for fully an hour, I took back with me only
his shoes and coat.
CON Wednesday, about pm. returning to
the wood from Paris, where had posted
the letters at the Office in the Rue Gluck, I
went to the tomb provided with long india
rubber tube through which intended to give
Clement drink. called to him down the
pipe but obtained no reply Then stamped
I concluded from this that my friend must
have become unconscious. Although much
concerned at his failure to reply, it neven
occurred to me for moment that he might
be dead.
when finally went away I felt sure that
in very short time he would be dug up and
revived by the people to whom he had written.
It was only this morning when read the
newspapers that learned with horror OF the
tragic end Of poor Clements hcax."
