stranger. He carried a trunk with him,
avowing it as his intention lo cck other
lodgings.
The next thing thnt struck the eye of
the gentleman engaged in searching for
the stranger, was the notice iu the F..c
prcm of a "Mysterious murder." A sort
of instinctive fear struck him that the
victim might be Fellner. Beyond the
mere thought, ho had r.o reason to believe
so, but on making an examination, his
fears were realized. The body, till (hen
unrecognized, was that of the s'.rsngor.

Fellner came hereon (be last trip of

13th of October, Mrs. Mirks visited him
alone, drawing a dirk, and threatening to
take his life for alleged improprieties to
wards her sister on tho pussige. She ti-
mil ly departed in peace, Fellner having
probably paid her for doing so.
This affair, however, so workfd upon
(he feelings of Fellner, that lid consulted
a newly made friend, Radetski by name,
as to the course he tbould pursue, buing
fearful apparently (hat tho infuriated
woman would take his life. Radetski ad'
