artifccs in carrying out his plan, but the US
ual one was the one he tried on me.


The boy then explained to me the secret
of the pipe. Only the outer surface was of
meerschaum. Within it was of the finest
steel, and of the most exquisite workman
ship. The stem Was the barrel, and the lock
was concealed within the bowl, and covered
with tobacco. A thin plate of metal protect
ed the curiously contrived lock, and upon this
the tobacco rested. a pressure of the thumb
or finger on this plate discharged the weap-
on. In order to cock it the plate had to be
removed. And now comes the internal fea-
ture of the contrivance. The powder used
in the little barrel was Cazaubon's own man
ufacture, and was very powerful. For wad
piece of felt was used, and on the top of
this was placed the missile which did the
mischief. The bov had two of them with
him, stitched up in the lining of his cap. He
took them out and showed them to me. The
projectile was tiny arrow, not longer than
cambria needle, with one end sharp and the
other bent down to thin feather. Itwas CT
the finest steel, but coated with greenish-
yellow substance, which was the most viru-
lent and speedy poison that the chemists
could concoct. The needle once within the
course of blood, and death was already at
the heart. 1t punctured the skin not so pal
pably as the prick of pin. He who sent it
on its errand made sure Of his aim, general
ly striking the neck, and the victim would
fall into insensbility ere he comprehended
what hurt him.


returned to Castellane with the boy, and
having lef: him in charge with the Sub-pre-
feet, took sen'd-arme along with me, and
went to the factory. Monsieur Cazaubon
was surprised to see me back so soon, but he
was more surprised when asked him to
take walk with me. and when | called in
the gend' arme, and bade him put the hand
cuffs on the agent. he was ready to sink to
the floor. We had him secured before he
had sense enough to resist and was con-
veyed to the Sub-pretect's office without
trouble. At first ne denied everything but
when he found that this would not avail him,
he swore he would kill the boy.


In due time Monsieur Cazaubon was tried
and condemned to death and the Prefect of
Dinse took possession of the internal ma
chine. Before the villain was executed he
confessed his crimes-told how many years
he had worked to perfect his fatal rstru-
mcnt, and produce the fatal poison-and al
so that the boy Henry had been driven to
help him through fear of his life.


SO tie rascal was executed. Henry Dupin
spent two years in confinement, and was then
set free and commenced an honest life. As
for me, got the praise deserved, and per-
haps more. At all events had done the
country service and the people were no,
slow to acknowledge it.

Only waiting till the shadows


Are a little longer grown
Only waiting till the glimmcr


OF the days last beam is flown
Till the night of earth is faded


From the heart once full of day
Till the stars of heaven are breaking
Through the the twilight soft and gay
Only waiting till the reapers


Have the last sheaf gathered home
For the Summer time is faded,


And the Autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers, gather quickly


The last ripe hours of my heart
For the bloom of life is withered,


And | hasten to depart
Only waiting till the angels


Open wide the mystic gate
AT whose feet long have fingered,
Weary, poor, and desolate
Even now | hear the foot steps,


And their voices, far away
lfthey call me, am waiting,


Only waiting to obey.
Only waiting till the shadows


Are a little longer grown
Only waiting till the glimmer


OF the days last beam is flown:
Then from out the gathered darkness,
Holy, deathless stars shall rise,
BY whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.
