THE RING MY MOTHER WORE. The earth has many jewels rare, In cents and golden ore; The ri 1g my mother wore. I saw it iirst when I a child Vl’as playing by her side, She told me then ’owns my littlier’s gift, When she became his bride. I saw it oft in sorrow’s hour, Which marked the after years, When shin'ng on the soft white hand That wiped away my tears. And 0h ! I saw it once again, When on her dyingr bed, She lifted up her hands in prayer,- And laid it on my head. Beside that bed where fcll my tears The ringr to me was given; She placed it on my hand, and said, We'll meet. again in Heaven. 1 liisscd the chce'i I oft had pressed, From which the toss had fled, And bowed with grief, stood motherlcss, Alone beside the dead. Among the blcst in realms above, Whth sorrows are unknown, Oh I may I meet my mother dear, No more to weep alone. Her dying words of love and faith I’ll chc‘ish evermom, Within the heart that holds so door The ting my mother wore. Eli/titration A DUEL IN THE DARK. CotillfitzlcclJi-om our 709;. I remanded the selfâ€"accused murderer into sale custody, and went off at once to inspect the scene of the crime. After a cure- ful examination of Numero Ten. 1 caused the door of the apartment to be scaled up in my presence, and announced in thehearing of a group of boddods who had already as- sembled, that the removal of the body of the murdered woman would take place at nine o’clock on the following morning. My next step was to call on a physician of my acquaintance, and request him to examine the prison- er's state efmind. That atternoon. we visited Cliardoh together. He was far more unnerved and excited than he had been when he surrend- ed himself; but, nevertheless, be repeated quite clearly and consist- ently his former statement, with this'importnnt addition. that, on being asked ifhis late wile had eye'r evinced a disinclinalion to come to Paris. he told me that shc had ; and. lurther. in reply to another question, that she had evinced some symptoms of a sud- den terror, for which she had inâ€" variably refused to account. On leaving the room where the piisoner was confined, [asked my friend the physician, his opinion on the case. Was Leopold Charâ€" don, a somnainbulist. and had he, as he himself believed. killed his wife in a sudden access of malady? or was he simply a remarkably clever villain? My scientific friend inclined to neither opinion. Somehow. the prisoner's tone and manner had al- ready convinced himâ€"es, Iconloss fihcv had done theâ€"that, in inten- ipnilon atleasi, Leopold Cliardon was as innocent as ourselves of this murder. And if. said my friend, he killed his wife in an access of seinnambulism. we shall know to- perhaps. The impression on his mind of what has occurred is so strong. that. if he sleeps at all he must inlallibly betray liimsell. That night, through a Judashole ‘in the wall. the doctor and I watch. ed Uliardou in his sleep, for he did sleep, though res’lessly, Halfan. hour after midnight, his restlessness seemed to increase 1 at last he glided stealihily from the bed, and, like one in a trance, stole softly across the room to where a poinard had been designedly left upon the table. _ ' I The experiment was growmg 1nâ€" tore-sting, We saw the somnainbulist clutch the peinard, and creep back cau- tiously to the bedâ€"saw him pass hishand over the bed-clothes, as though to assure himselt his vic- tim was thereâ€"saw the steel gleam as he raised his hand to deal the blow; and then “saw him fling away his weapon, and then burst- ing Into a hvsicrical fit or Weeping fall senselesss upon the floor.

Leopold Chardon‘ is as innocent of this And the real criminal, I said, who is he? Ah mon Cher, the doctor, said as your aHair. you must find liiml My friend was right. Believing the seifâ€"accused criminal to be in- uocont, as ldid, it was my busi- ness to discover the real one. The affair interested me for several reaâ€" sons~ils extraordinary nature, the impenetrable mystery in which it seemed to be involved, the manv difficulties that were in my way, and last though not least. the op- portunity it appeared Iikly to afford the of putting into practice those little theories of inducive ratiocina- tion of which I was so fund- I set to work that very night by putting together what I had heard from my prisoner; and sketching out mentally the sort of individual the actual assassm of Madame Charden might be. Evidently.some one wlto knew and was known to her. but was unknown to her hus- band. Some one, probably. who hat.l entertained a passion for her, tozwhich she had refused to respond and whose jealously had prompted him to this terrible revenge. The person resided, at all events habitually, in Paris. This would account for the repugnant-c Madame Chardon had evinced to visit the capital, where she might run the risk of meeting him; and she had met him. Hence her sudd- en alarm on those two occasions which her husband had remarked ; her unwillingness to encounter my ideal assassin, and her terror when she (lid encounter him, added to the pro-sentiment of coming ,evil which she ind‘ubitably felt, and the shuddering question she had, un- der the influence of this presenti- night of, and only a few hours be- fore the murder: Were there not murders who stabbed one in one’s sleep? All this furnished the with pretty trustworthy data for a cha- racter-portrait of the man I‘ should have to look for,and between whom and mysell, from the moment I was convinced of Leopold Chardou's innocence, adfluel in the dark had begunâ€"a man whom the repulse of his passion had converted into a fiend ; who had coolly planned and deliberately executed adeed which at once glutted his Vengeance on husband and wife, and was irr- iendcd to insure his own safety; for, Chardon found guilty of the murder on his trial, the actual as- sassin had nothing to fear- Now, I argued from, that this actual as- sassin was, in the first place, not a young man. A young lover would have hardly been likely to be vin- diciively jealous of a husband, and still less likely to harm the w1fe. The assassin of Madame Char- don, then, I believed to be a man somewhat pest middle ageâ€"the period when I hold the passion that had mastered him to be at its strongest and deadliest. In the second place, I believed him to be a man of sendentai‘y and soliiai'y habits. since such morbid frenzy, as [concluded he was possessed by. would have been dissipated by an active life, or one spent much in society. Whoever he was, he was worth findinv; and Wherever lound I determined should be. lhalf anticipated meeting him the next morning. It was not with out deSIgnihatl had made that public announcnment as to Ihetime when the body of the murdered woman would be removed from the [Intel Germ. You know, perhaps as well as I how irresistable is the impulse which impels most critni nals to revisit, to haunt the scene ol their crime; andI had accord- ingly calculated that among the crowd of idlers and curious sure to assemble on such an occasion, I might expect to find the man I was in search of. Well, the morning came and I was disappointed. No one in the lenstanswering my ideal I portrait of the assassin met my eye in the group of badauds that hung about the hotel entrance while the corpse was being taken away. So much the better, I thought. My man was evidently wary. The duel in the dark between us had fairly commenced. It seemed my antagonist was likely to prove worthy at my steel. Quit meeting '3 he was, he VVhotc No. 514. name for the trial of the self-accused rnur- Darrouc, and that he lived in a re- derer. I argued in this way: The real Scriininal. whoever he is,‘ has had selfâ€"command enough to keep away for the present. He is afraid his face might betray him to one of Besides. he most likely knows ‘that the husband of his victim is in custody, and that so far he is safe; but he must naturally feel the keen- est interest in the trial that is to lollow,since. if the supposed as- sassin is condemned, the veritable one may con31der himself secure ; while on the other hand, the ac- quittal oI Chardon leaves the chance of his own detection always open. He will then almost certain- ly be present at the trial first, be- cause he imagine he runs less risk whatever emotion he mav display in a large crowd, where all display emotion more or less; secondly. because it will be impossible for him to wait for the newspaper re- ports of a case which concerns him so intimately. when he can so easi- ly, and as he will persuade himself so safely, hear and see all in per- son. It is. then, among the soectaâ€" iors atthe trial of Leopold Chardon that this man must be looked tor. Whether my argument was sound or not. you will see directly. The morning of the/trial came at last. I had requested and obtained permission not to be summoned as 3. Witness, as it was most impor- tant forthe end I had in view that I should not be known to the man I was looking for in my official ca- pacity. Accoriingly dressed en bourgeois. I took up my position in the court a little before the trial commenced so that I could with- out atiractiug notice myself, study the countenances of most of the spectators. It was some time 'before even a decent resemblance to my ideal portrait met my eyes, and [had at- most begun to tear that l was to be- dlisa'ppointed a second time, when, in the middle ofthe front row in the gallery. 1 fancied I had at last got sight ot the man i was in quest of. There sat an individual whose figure was completely shrouded in a long sombre cloak, but whose face wore an expression ofstealihi- ly eager interest in the proceedings which struck me at once as being different to that I marked on other faCes about him. He answered, moreover. so exactly to the notion that I had formed of the real crimi- cat in point of age and physieg- nomy, that, after watching him carefully for some time. I experi enced a very strong conviction that I was on the right scentâ€"not, per- haps. so much from that. look upon his face, as from something else, which to my practiced eye. betray- ed his emotion even more unmis- takably. The long cloak in which he was emieloped had opened a little, unknown to him, in front, and hIS bands, which be imagined were c’onccaled under it'. wore visi- ble; and the long, cruelâ€"looking fingers ofthese hands were twistâ€" ing and twining round each other convulsively. That. I thought was suspicious, for it struck me that nothing but the, strongest personal interest was likely to cause such a man as this to manifest such strange emotion ; and Icould per- fectly well explain to myself the cause ol this absorbing personal in latest in the case of the real assassin oI Madame Clinrdon. The question wasâ€"was the man in the cloak, the real assassin or not? I set about solvmg that quesr iron. as you may imagine, withoul loss of time. The trial lasted [WU whole days. The first was occuâ€" pied by the official prosecutor. who stated the case. commented on the eVIdence furnished against him by the accusr'd, and ended by calling on the court to express their con- viction of the transparent fallacy oi the defence set up~namely, that the crime had been committed in an access of somnambulismâ€"by finding the prisoner guilty without extenuating circumstances. The iiarangue seemed to tellvory strongly against the prisoner, and I was positiVe that I detected signs ofrelief and satisfaction on tho countenance of the man in the cloak when he left the gallery on the termination of the proceedings. One of my subalterns was forlhwiih instructh to keep an eye upon him find out what he could about him, and report to me in person. tired street in the Maiais. When the court reopened. Monsieur Dar- rouc was among the fitst to take his seat in the gallery, but not the seat he had occupied on the pre- vious day. This time, I was much enchanted to find he chose a much less conspicuous position,on a back bench; for I explained this retiring modesty on the part of Monsieur Darrouc by concluding that he felt what was to take place. today would be far more trying to his powers of self-command than what had already taken place, and that he was prudently anxious to avoid observation as much as possible. By and by, I entered the gallery in my turn, in afresh costume, and looking ten years older titan I had done before, and seated myself quietly beside the man in the cloak. As the trial proceeded, and es- pecially when any point was strong- ly and eloquently urged in favour ofthe accused by his advocate, I remarked how. notwithstanding all his wariness and self-control, signs of an uneasiness amounting to po- sitive alarm Were betrayed by my neighbour. But while the court had retired to consider their deci- sion. Monsieur Darrouc’s livid pnleness quite justified mv pollier * askingliim whetherthe close at- mosphere of the crowded gallery had canscd him to feel indisposed. I was delighted to hear Monsieur Darrouc answer impatiently in the negative, and to see him draw him- self suspiciously away from me. I was pretty certain of my man, and flattered mvself that the assassin of Madame Chardon and I had fairly crossed swords at length ;' though we were fighting each other in the dark still. After half an hour’s deliberation. the court returned a verdict of not guilty; and when the applause that burst forth at all sides at this an. nouncement had bren suppressed. the president addressing the prison- er. told him that in the opinion of hisjudges. no stain whatever resi- ed on his character; that the court sympathized deeply with his mis- fortune. and trustch that an overâ€" ruling Providence would yet bring about the discovery of the real per- petrator of this terrible and mysteri- ous crime. Perhaps Monsieur Gerfaut inter rupted himself hereâ€"perhaps Iliad better grounded hopes than Mon» sieur le President that be thepase. Well, he continued. the prisoner was then discharged. Following Monsieur Darrouc out of the court I hadvthe good luck to intercept the one (Icadly look he bestowed on Chardon as the latter was hurried away in the crowd of friends. and congratulated mysoff afresh on this last confirmation of the truth OI my little hypothesis. Moreover. it was perfectly plain to me that the con- cluding words oi the president had been too much for Monsieur Dar. rouc, for he staggered rather than walked away from the scene of the trial, My trusty subalte’rn took charge of him again; and early the next morning [set out on a country iexcursion I had been planning for sometime. The same evening. I arrived at Morvilleâ€"the provincial town where Chardon practisedâ€" and where. I had been inlormed, his mother-inlaw, Madame begou- vav; yet resided. It was necessary, you understand that I should know what. it any, had been the connection between Madame Chardon‘s family and‘ Monsieur Darmuc. Unfortunately. my first lnql‘lll‘lPs informed me ihatMadameSegouvay had died just fouiuandntwentv hours before my arrival, overwhelmed with grief at the fate of her dangli- ter, and the. terrible accusation brought against her’son-in-law. This was an unlocked for check. I had confidently expected to extract important information from the mother of Madame Chardon as to her daughter’s former relations With the man in the cloak. It seemed l wasjust too late. There remained Monsieur La- morce. the old notary whose etude Leopold Chardon had purchased. He was able to giVe me the “amt” nf the laid Madame Sponuvay's man of business in Paris; and, as l instinctively auiicipatcd, that in dividual’s name was Darrouc; and he admitted under considerable Ileamed nexl morning that my pressure that Monsieur Darrouc this would . was supposed to be a rejectedi suitor of the murdered Woman’s. This perfectly coincided uith my theory. you will observe; and I returned to Paris with the. positive" moral certainty that the man in the cloak, and no other, was the 'assassiniof Blanche Chardo’n, nee: Segouvay. But this conviction was due to circumstances. which, unless backed by more tangible proofs. would. I knew, avail but little in a court ofjustice. What ll had to do was to procure indEIeasi- ,ble evidence ofthe guilt of Mon- sicur l’ex (wane Darrouc. The duel in the dark between us two was becoming exciting. I was by this time in possossion of a minutely detailed account‘ of’ the' habits, the resorts. and the occu- pants hi my adversary. The man‘ in the cloak had no trien ls, and‘ very few acquaintances; It was his daily costume to walk from his retired old hense in the Marais along the B‘uni's to the B’hurse. He” arrived there at noon :' transacted-L certain business. and reached home by the same route about 5 o'clock;: dined at home, and spent his even» ings rendingthe newspapers at a‘ cafe re the immediate neighbour.- hond ; conversed occasionally with” one or two old habituesof the same‘ establishment. but was in general” very silent and reserved. To be Con/inund. M AN AWKWARD PnuoioAMENTZ- A sharp movement among the weeds caught my eye, but before three steps‘ were taken I saw it was caused by no’ snake, and stopped short, not caring to’ face a javelino with a shot gun. But. in‘ mother second the animal broke cover,- aud passed in‘a a slouching trot acroSS’ a patch of sun-baked clay about twenty yards off. A tiger cub. by luck I No. an oeelotl The dainty beauty I} have loved my whole life long.» Without a. thought. of after proceedings, as madly and stupidly as any schoolboy, I shoulâ€"‘ dered a light fourteen bore, and sent a. charge of No. 3 shot into the hind quar: tors of the beast. With the sound of the-gun came my senses back to me, and ‘ I felt cold down the small of my back,’ like Mr Buckstone upon several occa- sions. An inch or two the right or left) in theoourse of those trusty pellets would-‘- .h“v'e sofar changed the event that instead of my story of the ocelot, the ocelot would probably tell a story of me. I suppose it was a ‘ shave’ as near as ever' man bad. But the shots served me well,- ’for they disabled one of her hind legs,» and injured the other. She turned with, a snap of white teeth and a. scream of ,ra-geâ€"then came leaping towards me' with green flashing eyes, Wide With fury,- aud lips drawn up above the pallid gums.- At about: six yards diranoe pulledi trigger again, aim‘ing’for' the left eye‘and shoulderâ€"and missed fire I- I ran back a few steps, and firedâ€"the cap snappedi harmlessly again I I think if any possi-’ ble arm had been at. hand I should have" stood then; but to face the charge of that lovely little devil, with a. olubbedl gun weighing 7‘Ib‘s 42027, was beyond» my madness, even on that mad morning.» But somehow those clean" green eyes fast; c’iuated me â€" as green eyes ever‘ will fast citrate if theyjbe the true c‘olor ; and not" till the poor beauty was limping ‘within' two bounds did I turn to to- in fact, to run. When I reached the tree, where Baby was‘plun‘ging and snorting furrouo-' ly. my pursuer‘was scarcely twenty feet? behind I tore the halter undone‘in‘ a; moment, caught up the bridle, and had just got'one foot in the stirrup, when Baby bolted as hard as fear could drive‘ her deer-like limbs. We did go! Be: fore I wasquite fixed in the saddle, or‘ 'had' gained any control over our course", she had covered a. couple of hunred, leaping the snspioiousplaoes as no niple‘ ever leaped before. Then she dashed under a bough so low that; there was not; fifteen inches to spare above the saddle,- and I had just time to throw myself right along.r her back. But a. Stumpy twig struck me a dizzying blow on the head’ and the main branch scored me all down the back bone. I retaine‘db‘n’ou’g‘h oonciousness to hold on, and might: have recovered the illhap,but that we came to a. deep gully, which B‘aby descended after the headlong manner of an animal which scarcely ever looses footing. Here I rolled heavily off,- falling upon my gun. Helpless and dizzy, with half my bones shaken and bleeding, I lay in a ‘ few moments. then got up and tottered’ on.
