.. ADETECTIVE’S SSTORY

I had some renown as a successfu
liogue- -,catcher and I had some experi
ence, too. My field of operations, as:
usual thing, lay within the confineso
the Department of the Lower Alps;
and, though I served under the sub
prefect of the-third arondisement, ye

 

the Prefect of the Department caller ‘

upon me whenever -.he chose. OnI
morning—it was in the latter _part 0:
May—I received anote from the pre
feet, ordering me to come to Digne am
see him with all possible haste. Th1
message came through the office of on:
sub-prefect, so that I had nothing t1
do but get ready and start. I took 211
eaily dinner, assumed the dress of;
peasant, browned my face and hands
and set forth. I reached Digne just a
nightfall, and as soon as it was darl
I waited on the prefect. He s-eemeI
1elieved when --- saw me, and took m:
to his p1 ivate closet.

“Now,” said I,‘ have you got worl.
1‘01 me?”

“Y es, ” he replied;
ten.” _

We sat down, and he proceeded.
" “Within a few menths past ther:
have been some of the most mysteriou.
murders committed in this Departmen
and in the Department of War, tha"
have ever come under my notice. The:
are done mostly on the road from Ca's
tellane to Aups. The first victim wa.
a Marseilles merchant, who had com?
up to Castellane to purchase drieI
fruit. His body was found by the road
side, near'the line between the"tw:
Departments,and at first it was sup
posed that he must have fallen in afit
as no marks of violence could be founI

' _upon him. His pocket book had bee1

rifled, however. The next one wa
found near Annot, and under the sam
circumstances. He was a merchant
also, and from Nice. Since then fly.
or six more have died on the sam
road, in the same mysterious way, an-
no marks of ill-usage have been foun»
upon any of them, but all have bee;
robbed. ”

“Have most of them stepped in Gas
tcllane?”

The pLefect told me they had.

I reached Castellane in the morning
and went to a woolen. factory and sat
the business agent. His name wa
Louis Cazaubon, and he had come t1
Castellane about a year before. H1

“And I suppose they must have pu
up at the same inn, then?”_ I remark
ed. "

“Yes,” said the prefect.

I then supposed that some of m
landlords must be concerned. But m:

' companion informed me that they ha-

been narrowly watched, and that m
shadow of evidence rested agains
them.

“But, ” said I, “Is there not poison 11
this matter? Some innkeeper may ad

. minister the poison, and then send a1

accomplice after the victim.”

“No,” returned the prefect,, with I
shake of the head. "‘Expenienced phy
sicians have examined the¢stomachs o
the'dead,;men, but without effect; an:

- now we, mean to give the, whole thinr

into your hands. You must go to Gas '
tellane at "once, and there you can ge
such further information as the sub
prefect can give you.”

The plot was’deeper than that, or h

So I resolved to wait awhile and see i

him if I could have done so with safe

but he might have detected me, an
that would not do. However, in les

river toWards the Alps.

01 had crossed thelittle cascade o

b1 the roadside, at the foot of the dc
szent, engaged in whipping a mule. H
was 21 slightly built fellow, and hi
coarse garments were covered wit

meal. I know that there was ,a mi-
11110le branch of‘the'Verdon, not fa

11111-8r’s boy. _As I came nearer, I em
a large sack lying upon the groun

“Are you hurt?” I continued.
“My left shoulder 1s. hurt” he said
and I can’t lift- this sack again. Ii

'monsieur would help me, I would he
"veiy grateful.” ' ‘ _

Until this moment the idea of sus-
pecting the young man had not enter--

ed my head; but the suspicion darted
upon me now. He was altogether toc
keen a locking fellow for a. miller’ s ap-
prentice. He gave me a glance from a
pair of quick, sharp eyes that, meant
more than he had spoken. And then
if I had not been very much mistaken
I had seen him holding his mule very
firmly with his left hand.

I leaped from my saddle and m0ved

towards him, being very careful tc
watch his every movement.

“Now,” said he, “if you will take
hold of that end. we will put it on.”

He lifted at the other end, and pro;
tended that it hurt his shoulder, and
begged of me to lift it on alone.

I professed to be willing to comply.
and stooped down for that purpose
keeping my head in. such a position
that I could watch him by .a sidelong
glance. As I bent over and took hold
of the sack, I saw him carry his hand
to his bosom and draw something out.

I saw his dark eye flash, and heard

his“ quick, eager breathing. In an in-

upward, and as I did so I heard a sharp

’report like the explosion of a percus-

sion cap, and saw a tiny wreath 01
smoke curl up from the hand I held,
He struggled to free himself from my

grasp, but I held him with a grip 01.

iron, and fixed my gaze upon him.
“I’ve found you, have. I?” 1
said, drawing my pistol and cocking it
“I' will simply inform you that I an
an officer of Prefecture, and that I have
been hunting for you. Just offer a par-

~ticle of resistance, and‘a bullet goes

through your brain! Now give me that
weapon.”

The youngman was frightened and
trembled violently.

“It is only a tobacco pipe,” he said,
as he presented it to me.

And certainly it looked like nothing
more; but I had seen enough of it tc
know that evil was in it. It appeared
to me to be an ordinary meerschaum
pipe, the bowl being colored :as though
by long use—only the amber mouth-
piece was missing. I did not stop tc
examine it then, but turned my atten-
tion to its owner. I saw that he was
still trembling with fear, and I knew
that now would be the time to work
upon him.

“So you are selling-your soul to Mon.
sieur Louis Cazaubon?” I remarked
by way of letting him know that I was
thoroughly informed. '

He started, and I saw very plainly
that he knew just what I meant; bui
he tried it recover himself, and assert-
ed that he knew nothing about the in-
dividual I had named.

“You needn’t lie to. me,” I sternly re-
plied,'.“for I know all about you. Louis
Cazaubon has been watched by 'me
when he didn’t dream of it. He
thought I was a trade‘sman. But yet
are young and I 'would save you. Con-
fess everything to me, and I promise
your life shall be spared.”

I saw that he wavered, and follower

up my advantage, and ere long I hac

him bent to .my wishes. I made him
understand that I held his life in my

.hands; and that I could protect him

from ’the vengeance of any one he
might criminate, and that he had .ev-

* erything tovgain and nothing to lose by

a full confession. He came to it grad
ually and reluctantly; but my Wll
finally triumphed, and I gained the se
cret.

His name, he said, was Henry Dupin

. He was- born in Paris, but never knew

who his parents were. He went to live
with Cazaubon when quite young; anc

had been with him ever since. Hr

said Cazaubon used to be a chemist
and did some business in that line;
and that it was in Paris he inventec’
the infernal machine which they hat
used with such fatal effect. About twr
years previous to the present time
they left Paris together, and spen’
nearly a year in traveling over .th(
kingdom, murdering and robbing f0)
a living. Finally they came to Castel
lane, wheIc the master got his presen'
situation. Cazaubon marked the vic
tims who were to be robbed, and thI
young man did the work. He usec
val ious artifices to cm ry out his plans

but the Usual one was what he trier,

Found His Lachrymose Accomplishment
Rather Wearing.

some note, not long ago‘ was appointed
to a fairly good place in one of the de-
partments at Washington. At- heme
Green is a criminal lawyer, and is
known by his success in influencing the
feelings of the jury. He weeps natural
tears at the right time, rends his hair
and does other things which successful
lawyers do. His department position
pays $2,500 a year. Green told his
Ohio friends that he earned as much at
home from his practice. They thought
he ought to have had something bet-
ter. “Of course, I ought, ” said Green,
“and I hope to get something better,

but let me tell you this, the $2, 500 I
get now comes a good deal easier than
the $2,500 I earned at home. ,I tell
you, this thing of shedding tears and
tearing your hair before a jury is no
easy" business. It will wear any man

Meliemct Ali Signed the Treaty Because

“icmr‘ It: Was a Luck-y Oneen. '

The London Truth gives the follow- ' ' ‘
’iug inside view of a great historical

event, said to have been hitherto un-
published: . -
When Sir Charles Napier had con-

quered Mehemet Ali, he found it im-

possible to ,force‘ or coax the wily
Egyptian into signing the treaty which
only would make his victory effEctive.

. He had nineteen interviews with Me.-,

hemet, in which the Englishman, by.
turns argued, flattered and [threat-
ened his antagonist, who listened day
after day with the same immovable,
smiling countenance.

One day Sir Charles, in speaking of
England said casually that it “was
governed by a. lucky woman.’ A 1'
strange flash passed over the Pasha’s
countenance, but he made no anewer.
As soon as" Napier‘wasgone; Mehemet
sent for the English Consul,,who. was
an Egyptian, and demanded:

“You were in London when- theEu-g—

lish Queen was crowned. 'Were- the -

omens bad or good?”'
“All good. ”

FOR AND ,AGAINST THE X~RAY.

11 Farmer Used It to Determine the Lay—l
ers Among His. Chickens.

There seems to lie-1101 limit to the use

to which the X raynca-n be put in re~‘

vealing- the true. inwardness of things.

It is now being used by poultry farm—

ers anxious to discover the laying
capacity of hens. One enterprising

. man, finding the percentage of eggs

was not what it. should be considering
the size’of his poultry yard, hit upon
the idea of examination by the Roent—

gen rays, and was thus able to weed

out the non-producers. 'The birds
were examined. at the rate of thirty
per hour, and the “non-eflicients”
were soon plucked and sent to mar-
ket.‘ The Roentgen rays are said to
have an extremely injurious influence
on the action of the heart, causing that
organ to palpitate violently, and some
of the leading doctors in Paris have
issued a warning to medical students
and others to - exercise great
caution in the examination of the
action of the heart by the
rays. Ill effects have followed the
use of the rays after many surgical
operations where it was desirable to
observe the process of the healing of
the tissues, the knitting of the bones
and the recreation of various ,parts.
These effects have usually partaken‘ cf
the nature of burns, and in nearly ev-
ery instance were caused by placing
the exciting tube too near the part un-
der inspection, or making the exposure
too long. The tube should never be.
less than 14 indhes from the object, but
the Time of exposure will vary accord-
ing to the strength of the apparatus.—

A PRINCE WHO BECAME A PRIEST.

He Chooses to \Vork in .LonIlon So _That

His Former Station May Not be Known.

There is a priest living in the White-
chapel district in London, a poor, de-
vout, earnest mission priest, who is
a prince and within easy reach of the
throne of Saxony. ‘

He abandoned a military career sud-
denly, and great was the surprise
thereat. His relatives and his friends

supposed that, having entered the

 

Church, he would be content with his .1

orders and satisfied to accept such ec~
clesiastical preferment which ' would
give him a religious rank consonant
with the loftiness of his birth.
Prince Max of Saxony is made of

sterner stuff. Directly after he was

ordained in Dresden he went to Lon-
doh. He established himself in the
poorest and most miserable qugnter.
Since then he has devoted his whole
life to those about him. They know

nothing of the high place in the world ’

that he forsook that he might do mis-
sion work."

It was because he, knew that he
would be. treated as a. mere mission
priest that Prince Max or rather Fath-
er Max, as he prefers to .be called,
chose London as a field for his work.
In Germany the authorities as well as
the poor would never succeed in blind-
ing them-selves to the fact that he was
really a royal prince—New York
