wiped the sweat from his forehead. At 'length he be.

were rich and brilliant, and attracted my. mothees sir

Ile fell, dragging my mother with him;and it was some
time before she WrLA extricated from the corpse. The
consequence was a severe illness; and though she re
covered, its effects remained. My evil star had risen,
and its influence was shed un me from that hour. I
used to steal rings when a boy, for I could not with
stand the consuming desire I i'elt to possess them. And
by a sort of instinct I could tell which were real gears,
awl their comparative value. To gratify my taste of
handling precious stones, and follow the supposed bent
of my genius, I learned the jeweller's art. I worked
with an enthusiasm which was a passion, and soon be
came celebrated for my skill. Now commenced theera
in which the evil influence of my star showed itselfpnr.
dominant. Whenever I was engaged on any import.
ant piece of work, such as the setting of valuable
stones, I was seized with a restlessness and an anguish
that deprived me of sleep, and impaired my health.—..
Day and night stood before me, like a spectrg„ the
person from whom I had received the order, decked
with my jewels; while a voice cried in my ear, "They
are vours—they should be yours! Take them; what
are diamonds to the dead!" At length I yielded to say
destiny. I had entrance to the houses of the gager. I
had many opportunities for plunder; I used them; no
torte row. and thus the jewels I coveted,

But this did not quiet the demon within me.
not how it was, but I felt an inexpressible hate for theme
at whose orders I had made unianaents; a thirst for
their blood, which condemned me to perpetual wretch.
edness. It was at this time I purchased this bootee...
Its owner and I arranged the purchase in this very
room, over a flask of wine, and he showed ma the se
cret passage, trap-dour, and dour through the wane.-
These were built by a monk, who livid in the cloister,
and used to go out and come in at night by this secret
entrance. I paid the man for this information, and
bound him to secrecy. Not long after, I sent home to a
gentleman of the court a rich necklace, which I knew
was destined for a beautiful opera girl. I went out at
night through the secret door; 'waylaid the gentleman;
I struck nw weapon to his heart, and possessed myself •
of the necklace. This dune, I felt a happiness India
cribable. The evil spirit was laid, I was no longer
tormented. But this peace did not continue; my evil
star became once more ascendant, and I a victim tp the
agonies of hell; agonies to be assuaged only by b100d...
But think not, OliN ior, though I could not resist the
dreadful impulse, that I have been quite destituteof Ms
man sympathy and remorse. You know how reluctant
ly I have lately undertaken orders; how I have declined
working for many, whom I would not injure. Yea
cannot know the struggles I have had with the power
thathas dominion over tee; struggles which, alas, have
been too often in vain!"
"When Cardillac had ended, he conducted me to
vault under ground, and showed me his cabinet ofjew
els. No monarch had a richer collection. "On the
lay of your marriage," said he to me, "you shall takeast
oath upon the holy cross, that upon my death you will
destroy all these by means I will then place is your
hands. I will nut have a human being, and least of
all Madelon and you, enriched by these blood-stained
treasures." "
'Thus, lady. was I prisoner in a lalirynth of crime,
the victim of contending feelings. In Madelon I saw
the angel who could elevate me to heaven; but then it
was as if demoniac hands dragged me main towards
the abyss, and I strove to escape in vain. Thus passed
some time, and I grew daily more miserable. I thought
of flight; of suicide; but Nladelon! How could I sew
rate myself from her—from her love? Blame ate, is,
dy—if you will; in truth I was weak, not to struggle
zainst the passion that fettered me to crime. But ant
I not to atone by an ignominous death?
"One clay Cardillac came home unusually cheerful.
He. looked kindly on me; kissed Madelon; and ordered
for dinner a flask of better wine than he commonly
drank. When Madelon had left us, I rose to go ban
the shop. "Sit still, young man," said Ceram.; "no.
more work to-day; let us drink the health of the meet
excellent lady in Paris." Therewith ho filled our ear.

"Un amant qui eraint les roleurs n'eat past dign.s
d'amour."
He proceeded to relate what had passed in the apart
ments of Madame do Maintenon, between her, yourself
and the King, and the spirited reply you had given to
the poetical petition. "Hear, Olivier," said her a n*
resolution. I hare a necklace and bracelets I finished
some time since for Henrietta of England. Tho
imely death of the princess has discharged me from the
necessity of sending her the jewels, which I value ye
ry highly. I will send them as a token of gratitude to
Mlle do Scuderi, in the name of the band of robbers.
Thus I mock at Desgrais and the Chambre Ardente.
You shall carry the present to the lady."
"As Cardillac named you, honored lady, it seemed as
if a dark veil was torn away, and the fair images of
my happy childhood again smiled upon me. There

means to arrest the wickedness of Cardillac without

being more successful another time. Before long
ever, the demeanor of Cardillac changed; he was nti

and resdass, and murmured often to himself. One
morning as he sat at the work-table, he sprang up ha",

heard this exclamation, and it filled me with terror,
