singularly with the epicurcan

the cranium of Judge Sourdat.
The case was thus: During the
revious week, at snnrise, there had
sen founa in‘a thicket of the forest
the body of a game-keeper, who had
evidéntly been assassinated, and then
concealed among the brambles of a
ditch. It was sipposed that the
erime had been committed by some
strolling poacher, but up tu the
present time there had been elicited
no precise evidence, and the wit
nesses examined had only made the
mystery deeper.
he murder had taken place near
the frontier, where charcoal burners
were at work. The suspicions of the
judge had therefore been directed to-
ward them. The depositions thus
far had revealed that on the night of
the murder these people had béen ab-

to the summons. She had evidently |

judge had been obliged to send a cox-

awaiting the result of the search.
Toward 10 o'clock the door of his
cabinet opened, framing the cocked
hat and yellow shoulder belt of the |
