Winn. m: b UEST; 6H3 MBE ht_ 011' THE INN A T [From the Jam-ml of s Detaclivej I received an urgent. letter from the sub-agent of St. Ives, calling me to come and unravel the mysgery of many murders committed there, to which no clue could be had. Proceeding on my journey I met the sub-agent, Barret, in the diligence which had to convey me to St. Ives. The excitement consequent upon this alarm ing state of affairs had caused Ihe subagent to decide upon a personal investigation ‘of the matter, and when I encountered him he hurl already started for St. Ives, so that our desti ualion was the same. “You entrapped Lhc rascal, Jacques Guichard, so admirably,” M. Ben-er. remarked, “that I am led to hope: for your success in the present case, dark and doubtful as the matter now looks.” “At. all events," was my reply, “I deem it no more than justice to myself to make a strong effort. I must ask you, however, Monsieur Barrel, to give me the. entire management and control of this matter in every particular.” “I will do so, and with pleasure. Frame whatever plans and use whatever means you please. I will be guided by you in all things pertaining to the business.” “This will be well. But one thing more, Monsieur Berret. You must be as secret as the grave. Do not, upon any consideration, let it be known in St. Ives that“ there is a. detective oflioer nearer to them than in Paris ; and, above all, do not suffer yourself to make inquiry con— cerning these murders. Leave me to ask all the questions in my peculiar manner.” ' The sub-agent promised full compliance with my instructions, and in a. few moments we were rolling through the darkness and rain into the village of St. Ives. During these few moments, however, an incident. occurred which necessa rily has unimportant» bearing upon my narra um. Our conversation had been held, as a mailer of course, in so low a lone as not to be over heard by the other occupants of the diligence ; in fact, I had hardly noticed any of their faces. But now, as I had finished speaking for the time to M. Benet, and looked oround me, I discovered in the elderly gentleman who sat directly behind us, Monsieur Lemare, é wealthy wine seller of Bordeaux, and with whom I was quite intimate. Upon recognizing me, he greeted me cordially, and we conversed together upon passing topics for a moment. “You stop at the Hotel of St. Ives, I sup pose ?” he said, changing the subject somewhat. abruptly. I consulted the aub~agent, and learning that this was the only place in St. Ives at which he ever stopped, I answered the ques tion in the affirmative. do " COAL! ‘-Well. I shall stay there also, but it is pos sible I-mny not see- you again, as I intend to leave St. Ives early to-morrow morning. lam n'ow on my way. to England, traveling, 231113 business qompels mo 10, in a. round-about way. “Contrary to my ’ usua‘ custom, I have ne glected to obtain letters of exchange, and have now the sum of five thousand francs with me. Permit. me to count. this over before you, that in case any unseen misfortune should deprive me of it before reaching Calais, you may cer- tify to my creditors as to my possession of the money at this time.” Producing a plethoric pocket-book, the wine merchant counted its contents. The sum was correct as he had stated, five thousand francs. M. Barret, also, at his request, became a wit ness to his possession of the money. The diligence now came to a. stop before the inn, and the passengers hastened to leave the one for the other. After we had taken our supper, I accompanied the sub-agent to his room, where, for an hour, we talked on the subject of our mission to St. Ives, and the pro babilities of success; and then as the hour was quite late, bade him good night and returned to my .own chamber, and soon after went to sleep. Nothing unusual occurred during the night, if I may make one exception, which itmoy be ‘ well to mention in this place. I had been 1 sleeping for more than two hours, and was lay— ing in a half unconscious state, when I‘was awakened by a heavy though smothered groan. I was perfectly sure that I had not mistaken the sound, and mentally deciding that'it had been occasioned in some manner in the next room, I sat upright. and listened intently. But [heard nothing more, although I placed my ear close to the wall. Whatever the strange sound may have been it was not repeated. Upon inquiring for the sub-agent the next morning, I was told he had risen before me and left the inn. . The idea. then occurred to me that I might have an opportunity to pass half an hour-with Monsieur Lemare ; and addressing the landlord, a heavy-brewed, ill-featured men, I asked for him. The man elevated his brow in surprise, and declared that the wine seller had not been in the house for a month. _‘éPcrhaps you do not know M. Auguste,” I am . ' HELMBOLD’S HELMBOLD’S HELMBOLD’S HELMBULD’S HELMBOLD’S HELMBOLD’S HELMBOLD’B “But I do, Monsieur, perfectly,” he replied. “You must. be mistaken about. seeing him here.” “He was certainly here—sin this town—last night.” ‘ “But not in this house—you are doubtless thinking of some other person." ‘ As I walked away I noticed that he followed ‘ me suspiciously with his eyes. His manner 1 seemed strange to me. It was in fact rather anxious and overstruined, us though he wished ‘ very much to impress it upon my mind that Monsieur Lemore had not been in the hotel.— Upon further reflection, however, I was forced to confess that I really had‘ not seen the wine merchant. in the inn. True, he had informed me that. he had changed his mind, and so Ldis missed the subject from my passing thoughts. Passing into the street, I strolled along in search of the sub-agent. I had continued my walk for but a few moments, when, upon turn ing a corner, I was brought abruptly upon a. singular and horrible scene. A number of Persons were crowded in confusion upon the sidewalk—and among them as it happened M. Berret. He quickly saw me, and seizing my “1"”: conducted me forward to the object of ; cOmmon attention. It was, as I had already ‘ begun to suspect, another victim of the toys l lemons assassin of St. Ives—the body of amun lay extended upon the pavement, face down- Wfil'd, Ihe back penetrated lay a deep. ghastly wound. But. no words can describe my aston— ishment and horror, when upon the time of the. “MPSE being exposed, I recognized my aged acquaintance, M. Augusto Lemme! The sub agent started back in horrified surprise. “Bf-1 for o moment. we both gazed at the body ”1 silence. My habitual .eoution, however. 89011 returned, and drawing M. Berret hastily Hide: 1 whispered a few words in his ear. . ’ “ Now. Monsier Barret, if you Wlll 1.0110" my instructions, I think I shall be able to solve this mystery in the course of the next twelve hours.

Do this, and'rejoin me in half an hour at the inn. I will wait for you there.” . __. ....M-“ FRIDAY MORNING, DEC. 7, 1860. ST. 1 VES. I returned immédiately to the hotel, and be fore the expiration of the appointed time, M. Ben-eh entered my room. “ There is.” he said, in a voice laboring un der great excitement, “ no vestige of the money upon the unfortunate man. It. has been plun dered of everything valuable." “Ah, I expected it. Monsieur Benet,let us sit down and talk calmly of this affair. I think I may be able to tell you that which will surpnse you. . “You are right. I flatterxnyself that I have not only obtained a clue, but. am able evgn to lay my fingers upon the guilty parties. Would you like to hear of my discoveries ‘5" ‘ “ Yes—l am all impatience_. . Please go 031." The Bub-agent drew his ch'air close to mine, and listened eagerly? while I disclosed the sig- nificant facts which I had gained since my ar- rival at St. Ives “ In the first place. theulhlonsieur Benet,” I said, “ the discovery of this morning renders it certain that we have selected the right then tre for our operations. There can be no ob ‘eclion that these murders have been committed in this town. since we have ourselves seen one of the victims.” The subag—nt nodded affirmatively, and I continued: = ’ “ Fstir, then, it seems rather remarkable but these wounds should all be inflicted in the A 3 to the manner of their infliction, I MEI am not prepared to explain ; but it seems con clusive to me that all the blows must have been produced by the same hand. In the next place, does it not. seem singnlnlj that every one of these unfortunate men'has been amt-anger ‘2" “ Now that I think of it, it does, as I live,” the sub-agent. thoughtfully replied. “ But what do you argue from this fact. 1'" “ I will draw my inference in a moment.— You will remember the circumstances of M. Lemare counting his money in the diligence in your presence—this morning we have seen his dead body lying in the public street, rifled of the money. There is now one question in my mind. Did, or did not, M. Lemare lodge in this hotel last night?” “ The landlord told make did not." “So he told me—but I prefer to investigate for myself. We had it last night from Lemere’s own lips, that it was his intention to stay at this inn until morning, and I am inclined to the belief that he did put up here last night, notwithstanding that nobody appears to have seen him within the house. It is probable that he retired immediately to his room, and com municated with no one but the innkeeper or one of the servants. Now, Monsieur Berret, let me recur to a circumstance which happened in the diligence, which I think escaped your notice. Just' as M. Auguste was replacing his pocket book, I happened to glance behind me, and then saw 1: object which instantly attracted my attention. “It was 'll. man, bent forwardin eager altitude, his eyes intently fixed upon the operations of M. Adguste. He quickly became aware that I was watching him, and shrank back out of eight, but not before I had observed his face. I have seen it again this morning—it is that of Antoine, thehosl-ler.” ..i . . ~ .. - “This is truly an important discovery,” the sub-agent observed. “But this is not all. Last night I heard a green from the chamber abjnining mine. The discovery of this morning, considered with these others which I have been telling you, leads me to believe that this was the death groan at" M. Auguste Lemere. In any event, you can draw your own inferences. It is a fact conclusive that the unfortunate man re tired to bed in this he xt chamber. Whether or not he ever left it alive, is a question which in my mind admits of but little doubt.” “Do you then really mean to say that your belief is that M. Lemure was murdered under this roof?” “I am positive of it, and not only he, but each of the other victims. And lam also in duced to believe that every one of these mid night assassinations have been committed in the adjoining chamber.” ' “I have no doubt thatyou have arrived at the truth,” the sub-agent replied. “And now, what do you. propose to do first? Wculd it not be better to arrest this innakcepet' and his hostler at once 9.” ‘f By no‘means, M. Berret. I think that would be an extremely injudicious step. What I have been telling you are only conjectures of my own, which, though probably true in almost every particular, would, I greatly fear, avail little as proof to charge the villainous inn kceper, and his servants (who beyond all ques tion, are the criminals) with these crimes.— There is now one decisive step to he taken—l propose to pass the night in this mysterious chamber.” Monsieur Berret heard my quietly spoken words, and looked perfectly aghast with aston ; ishment. , “ What, Guillotl are you mad ‘1" he ex claimed. ‘* Pass the night in that infernal slaughter house? Consider the danger of the thing, and the great loss to the service which your death would occasion.” ‘ The earnest anxiety with which this last re monstrance was uttered was so perfectly ludi crous, that I refrained with diflicnlty from laughing outright. But I soon succeeded in silencing his obj ections, if not in satisfying his scruples. “ You have, I believe,” I then remarked, " a considerable amount of money with you.” “ Yes, Man Dim .’ had this rascnlly landlord known it last night. I might now be as cold as poor Lemure! Can it answer you any pur pose ‘3” “ A very. important one. Lend try your pocket book." ' ' Still holding it in my hand,’ 1 descended the stairs, the sub-agent closely following me- The inn~kceper was sitting behind his bar: 5993’“ ingly half asleep and half awoke, buL the lll stsnt he saw the pocket. book his dull eyes lighted up with an eager gleam, and he Watched my motions with strict attention. “The amount is correct,” 1 said aloud, ‘0 M- Bcrret. “Two thousand francs—rims, than, discharges the debt " Then walking “P to the bar. I said to the inn-heel)”: ”-The room which you have given me does not suit me in the least _heve yuu not 9, lm'gPl‘ one where locsu lodge?" “yes, Monsieur,” the man replied, with re markable alncriry : “I should have spoken of it myself. There is a large, pleasant chamber next the one in which you slept lust nighn-du me the favor to occupy it as long as you please.” "Yon had better decline before it is too late,” M. Berret Whispered in my ear. “I fear you will not occupy it for more than one night. If you do, you will accomplish what no person has yet done." . “Show me the room,” I calmly replied, psy mg no attention to the anxious Whispers of the sub-agent. ' . (fliers seemed nothing remarkable about the. room, when we had first entered it. I? was a ’ trifle larger than the other chambers of_ the house, and the furniture was of no more antique pattern, especially the high-posted bedstead . , 9‘l. think this will answer,” I said, after so:- veying the apartment and its belongings- ' . “Will you lodge here to-night, then, Mon sieur 2” “Certainly.

Benet—until then leave the matter in my hands. But there is one ma terial service which you must not fail to render me. You will, if you pleaSe, conceal yourself, with two or three trustworthy men in the room next to this, which I occupied last night, and there await my signal. When you hear from me, you will instantly, rush in and assist me to secure whoever you may find.” ' These arrangements Were, at the proper time, ' put fully into operation. As evening drew on, 1 saw that the sub-agent and his allies were properly secreted, and first enjoining vigilana upon them, I entered the mysterious and fatal guest chamber. The lamp which I carried served to reveal every part of it, and I quickly became aware that there was nothing unusual about the appearance or the room, It was very much such a becl chamber as might be met with in almost every village inn. Nevertheless, I resolved to put no faith in appearance, and ‘ immediately I commenced a systematic exami nation. I searched everywhere—under the bed, l in a closet and behind the window curtains—- but my search revealed nothing. I was certain I that no one was concealed in the room, and. there as certainly seemed no place of ingress save the door. I was beginning to become anxious. 1 reflected that the danger might come upon me unexpectedly, and from an un expected source. I sat down, and for an hour I waited—waited in restless expectancy for the appearance of the assassin—but still I waited in vain. Looking at .my watch, I perceived thatit was nearly midnight. My unaccustomed. vigil had wearied me, and placing my pistols beneath the pillow, I lay down upon the bed without removing my clothes. I was not long in discovering that this bed was of somewhat singular construction—Abe I‘ol malion of tbs top being rather concave than otherwise, an so adjusted that the occupant could not possi bly rest in it any other way them upon his back in the middle. Linen his baa]: l—That seemed rather a sin« gular discovery to make just at that moment. Had not every one of the murdered men been stabbed through the back ? Yes—and each one of them must have received his death wound whiie he was lying in this very bed just as. I——- Click—«click—click ! Three sharp, distinct sounds, apparently close at hand, interrupted my reflections. I' knew their meaning in an instant—these sounds needed no interpreter. I arose quickly and silently, and grasping my pistols, awaited the next movement. of the unseen assassin. . Click. ——click. That noise again, and now like the creaking of s. hinge. Next there was a. shuf fling sound, which made me aware that there was a. man beneath the bed, and the next in stant I saw the blade of a dagger driven up through the mattress, in the very place where I had been lying ! I gave a low groan, which we; answered by a chuckle from beneath the be . “An easy death! Now far the spoils,” I heard the same voice say. And at the same instant the head and shoulders of the innkeepet were thrust out from the bed hangings. Cover ing him with the muzzle of one of my pistols, E said: - “ Come forth, air, and deliver yourself 11?! Your innocent guest. is no other than a detec tive oflicer! Don’t. attempt to escape—l shall. certainly fire if you do I” But he did try, and I speedily sent. a pistol ball after him. The report was succeeded by a deep groan, and instantly M. Ben-ct and his. assistants rushed in. A hasty search was suf~ ficiently to discover the landlord under the bed, weltering in his blood, and the hostler was seized 'before an opportunity to close the secret panel in the “all, through which he attempted ‘ to escape- , This panel, as a short search disclwed to us, opened directly into a hollow partition, which communicated with a lower room. By means of this contrivance, the assassins had always been able to enter this particular chamber at any time, and once through the panel without having disturbed the unsuspecting sleeper, their work was easily done. This bed was, as I have said, constructed in such a manner that. a sleeper could maintain only one position in it; a hole had been worked forthe passage of the dagger, and a powerful thrust had been in every instance enough to transfix the heart of the victim. After sitting the body of every thing valuable, the murderers were assustomed to carry it out in one of the public streets of the town. And so adroitly had’ this game been played that no shadow of suspicion had at~ tachetl to the real criminals. The inn—keeper recovered from the wound which I gave him, but it was only, together with his partner in guilt, the hostler, to re ceive one of a. much more serious character from the hands of the executioner. Srnnxcrn AXD Fenocrrr or run Armour GonH.LAs.—-—Dr. Du Chaillu is probably the first. and only white man who has dared to wage war with gorillas. The apes of Borneo and_Sumatre are infants in comparison with them. \ The far inmed chimpanzee is a great. docile creature, which can never be ne.-med in the some day with the gigantic savage of Central Africa. Think of it! The gorilla is six feet two inches in. height, and three feet between the shoulder blades. The paw is that of a giant, three times the size of the human hand. The finger measures six inches in circumference at the huge. There is an immense ridge running per, pcodicular over the cranium; this and the great jaws are packed with muscles of prodigious strength. The creature has large urine, alto gether disproportioned to the body. It is cov ered with black hair, and has a matted leek on his hem], whichithns the power of brmglng over its face. It has almost the sagaclty of a men and almost the ferocity Of a. fiend. The male is terribly pugnncions ; the female always flies. When they make their attack they beat their breasts with their fists, making a. sound which can be heard a mile. Their cry, which has a terrific resemblance to a. human voice, can he heard three miles amid the reverberation of the hills. , As they approach their adversary'they en deavor to intimidate him. One would think this was easily done. That fearful sound, those frantic eyes, glaring with the intelligence and malignity of a demon, were enough to shake nerves not easily disturbed from their equi- POiSO. Ou'r hero lost. five or six men in these strange engagements. Think of the tremen— dous strength that with one blowof them-n 1 could. crush the ribs like pipe stems, and tear: out a piece of the side; and that with a. single movement of the jaw could crush the barrel of a gun as if it had been a stick of candy I Ano ther fact: There are no lions in the bent of the gorilla. .
