At No. 2in that street lived, in adjoining shops, one a barber and a pastrycook.

As the socket.. Were at length passing before this house in the Rue des Deux..Erm 'tea, the dog began to scent about him with an Uneasy air. .. T t next rushed into the barber's shop and commenced scratching' on the Boor with such persistence that it led to the discovery 0: a trapd9or ever a cellar, which still exists, and where the boo.; of a man was found cut into pieces. The barber, says the 1 story, had made a bargain with his neighbour, whose pica, made of human flesh, had acquired a great celebrity, so that ' when a stranger came to get shaved he was placed on the trap, and, a spring being touched, he fell into the cellar below, where he was despatched by the pastrycoc k, if not killed by the fall, The two murderers were broken on the wheel, and their houses razad to the ground. Is there any truth in this story ? What is certain is, that until the commencement of the 16th century there might have been seen an open space, at a spot formerly occupied by the houses, the cellars of which could still be Been.
