JIYSTEUY OF THE VALLEY.
Alxiut ten years ao business con
pclKnl mo to uiako frequent journeyt
from Lausanne to Scntier, in the valley
of LaLo Joux.
At lir.it tUij mountain trip, which had
to o made in an ordinary diligence,
'Doomed to mo extremely tedious. Then,
littlo Ly little, 1 became familiar with
tlio mountain ways that I traversed as
in a dream, and at last I camo to love
tliem. I loved the austere melancholy
of the enraber horizons, the murmuring
woods of lir, tho pastures of long, thin
prass, anions which tho hardy yellow
gent Luis grew, the isolated and silent
chalet .4, and. above all, the lake, that
mysterious lake which received many
streams and had no visible outlet, but
cirntiLHl tho surplus of its dark and slug
eUh water into subterranean channels.
1 also 'acquired an affection for the In
habitants of tho region, who called their
valley the valley, as it there were no
other in tho world. They were a sturdy
race of mountaineers, peasants and work
men, most of them being engaged in the
manufacture of watches. They were
descend ar.M of a number of families of
French refugees, had old fashioned man
ners, wero intelligent, laborious, saving,
fairly well educated, scrupulously hon
est and dioterlly pious.
1 took tho d'US'snce at the station or
Romainmotfcrs about 4 o'clock in the
afternoon, and by night it had conveyed
me to Senticr, stopping at supper time at
the principal inn of the village of Pont.
Thereafter having partaken of a plat
of soup, I was served with one of tliflfcd
delicate trout which are the specialty of
tho place, and with a bit of excellent
"vacherin," the savory cheese of the
country. The host saluted me, drank a
small glass of white wino with me, and
at mv departure gave me his hand with
a cordial "au re voir."
Every time I stopped at thi3 inn I saw
in one corner of the room, seated at a
table with a glass of absinthe before him,
si gaunt old man, with a ealjow complex
ion. Iio was negligently dressed and
was smoking his pipe and contemplating
i his glass; he was continually absorbed,
apparently, in a drunken reverie or in
memories of days long past. The inn
keoper, whom 1 iinally questioned In re
gard to his strange guest, 6aid:
"That U II. Arnaud, who was the syn
yic of Pont lu 1855, the year of the
frirae."
The horn of the diligence summoned
me before I had time to inquire concern
ing the details of this crime, which was
raJcd the crime, just as they 6poke of
tbe Tilley.
On my next visit to this region, on
stopping at Pont one cold, clear night in
October. 1 was informed that it would be
jiecessjirv to remain at (the place several
hours in'order to repair tho diligence to
w hir6ouio accident had happened. I
was the only iassenger, and the inn
keeper having gone to look after the
'liliqence, J found myself the only Ocea
nian t of the room, excepting that strange
ild man, who sat there smoking before
his half empty glass. Curious to know
more of this strange character I took a
seat at tho table next to Ids. I helped
myself to a glass of vermouth while
waiting for my supper, and opening a
newspaper which lay near by I began to
glance at it.
lie soon seemed to have tho same curi
osity in regard to me that J had concern-
head, which had been nodding; his eyes,'
vliich were usuauy uaii cioseu, wmo
opened efficiently to Cx their glance oa
me; lus Hps moved as if he wished to
peak, rad ho coughed. Then with
a. trembling liand ho took his glass, rose
with an eU'ort and came to my table, at
which ho seated liimself opposite me. I
Ji-id down my paper and addressed some
words to him, which he did not seero to
hear II- had resumed his accustomed
-ittltudc; his ej-es were half closed, his
head ihtfOTvd, and I almost believed that
- he was spellbound to eternal silence. Ilis
presence Iiecame embarrassing to me. I
h?"n.n to feci uncomfortable, and that I
nit-iiv becotufc. more at my ease before
thiS nan. who seemed to take no notice
of me, l again 100. up mv uei.
when he suddenly (stretched out toward

And, without rrLixing ijj oa my
arm. which, for a inomei,tf strong
graap pahfcd, he began to reak in the
measured accents of thepeop4eof that
region, his face wearing fixe expres

I cr.n em him 'asrlainly as I sco you,
with liJs old wrinkled face and gray,
locks. And ho looked bo peaceful nat
urally, for his soul was in. heaven. At
ileylan's suggestion i put my hand on
his breast to learn if his heart still beat,
but it did not. lie was dead. Ho had
six stab wounds here, here, here, here,
hero and here."
Ho indicated on hia own breast tho
places where the murdered man had
been 6tabbed; his forehead was beaded
with perapi ration and his words seemed
to stick in his throat. For a few mo
ments ho remained silent, apparently
contemplating the torpsoof old Mathurin
photographed on his memory. Then, re
suming his story, he said:
"The governor of tho provinco asked
mo who committed tho crime, but I did
not know. How could I? How was any
one to know? Thcro had never lecn an
assassination in this part of tho country.
Nothing had been taken from Mathurin.
Ho must have been killed for revenge, as
Mey lan said. Hut who had thus wreaked
his vengeance and for what? Every one
in the village loved poor old Mathurin,
who came here twice a year like a bird
that brings good luck. All began to
search for tho murderer tho gendarmes,
the judges, all tho people of tho village
but it was useless. And the search was
continued for a long" time, although
nothing was discovered. Nothing ever
will bo discovered nothing! No, it will
never Ihj known who killed poor old Ma
thurin 1"
As ho said this his voice was gradually
lowered, and was Iinally lost in sobs. A
moment afterward, relaxing his grasp,
he took his hand from my arm, and his
heaving chest sent forth great sighs. At
last he carried his glass to his lips, took
several swallows of absinthe, roso from
hi3 chair and returned to Ins corner,
where he resumed his former mvsterious
manner.- Looking at him, I asked my
self if I had been urcaming, if this extra
ordinary being wero a reality and had
been sitting faco to face with me, his
hand upon my arm, and speaking to me.
The servant came to tell me that my
supper was served at another table. I
did not have much appetite. However,
I made an attempt to eat my soup.
When the innkeeper returned I called
him to me and said:
"Tell mo what vou know about this
strange man who has just related to mo
the story of Mathurin's nssassination."
My hoot 6miled calmly as ho replied:
'.'Ah, ho has told you that story. I
knew ho would tell it to you some time.
Ho tell3 it to evervbody. Ho can think
of nothing else. He is not happy, poor
old man."
"Uut 'why does he remember with such
distinctness a crime, which most of tho
people of the village have long since for
gotten?" "Ah! He was the syndic when t!o
crime was committed. It was he who
first touched the corpse after its discov
ery. It was ho who formally announced
tho murder to the authorities and or
dered an inquest; and ho took an active
part with tho iolice in searching for tho
assassin. All this affected his mind. At
first no change in him was noticed, ex
cept that he 6eemed to be a little nerv
ous. People said, 'Ah, tho poor syndic; he
is troubled over this affair.' Then, when
tho inquest was finished, ho ecnt jn his re
signation as syndic, saying hat ho was
not worthy to hold the office, tinco he
allowed people to l-o assassinated jus
as if he were to biaino for Mathuiin:s
murder. To show their confidence in
him, the people wished to sc ud Mm to
tho grand council. He declined to go.
He was the wealthiest land owner in this
part of tho country, and was held in
great esocin by all. Soon afterward he
lost his Wife and also his. son, who diet
of a cold caught on the frontier during
tho war. Then ho took to drink, and
would repeat to people over and over
again the 6tory of Mathurin's murder.
People began to shun him, and at last he
talked with no one except strangers, to
whos he recounted the history of tho
crime. Ves, he' is certainly demented,
and absinthe has helped to unscttlo his
mind. He no longer busies himself with
anything; his affairs are in disorder, his
prop-erty is mortgaged, and in a few
years he will become a charge on the
commune."
In my dealings with the inhabitants of
the valley I had found them to be very
conrientjous people, and could under
stand how their sensitive minds might be
tortured by scruples and doubts. How
ever, the case of the old syndic seemed
extraordinary to me. I believed that I
had found in it one of those strange cases
of mental derangement resulting from
the exaggeration of one faculty, or from
dwelling upon one idea, to which the
psychologists were beginning to give a
great deal of attention, and I made up
my mind that I would follow it more
closely. As soon as- I had finished my
sunper I approached tho old man, who
had just been served with another glass
of absinthe,
"Is the place where the murder was
committed far from this village?" I
asked.
He raised his eyelids, looked at me a
moment, and then rising, said:
"Come, and I will show you the spot."
Vv'o left the inn together.
Silence reigned throughout the village.
The houses, the roofs with their chira
nevs, the trees and the massive old
chl:rch were all distinctly outlined in the
white moonlight. In tho keen, frosty
air I could hear the fallen leaves crackle
under our feet; while the boughs of tho
evergreen fir trees repeated their mono
tonous plaint. The waters of the lake, a
largo part of which was visible in the
nicer, light, driven by the wind in waves
upon the pebbles of the 6horo, com
plained like the firs. Along the road
Arnaud's shadow advanced beside mine.
Ho walked with a heavy step, his back
slightly bent, his head lowered and his
anrs swinging? He said nothing. By
degrees, as we went on over the road,
whick took lis some distance from tho
lake, he seemed to walk with more diffi
culty. Although his face was 6till im
ciobilo and his step was slow, Ins breath
ing was heavy, and at last he proceeded
oulv with great effort. At a turn in the
road where three trees formed a 6ort of
a triangle he paused, drew a long breath,
csd with a quick, almost automatic ges
ture of thp Tight arm, said :

iploco. -

e?ort, be fcad succeeded through that ef
fort Lx f itting soma lucidity into his
large shoes, with heavy nails. After the
murd.M ho went toward the lake by that
filth; path which crosses tho field, per
liapi UicntKB he wanted to wash his
h.-.!ii.i. lie returned and took 100 steps
toward Lit n, apparently to throw people
oiT his truck: then he went to Pont. At
tho edge of tho village his traces were
jo. t at fcix paces from my house. The
hi.ifu was never found. Nothing w;is
n:i.i:;cd from Mathurin's cttecU; he had
1;J francs in hi. pocket. Could you
conceive of any tiling w mysterious? Up
to the present 'tiiiiL- the imaileier has not
l"-c;i discovered; that's certain. Tho af
fair happened so long no nearly every
one has forgotten it, P.ut I 1 have not
forgotten it!"
As he uttered these last words in a
broken voice, his face ktill expression
less, his eyes fixed on the fatal spot, the
problem "which had already presented
itself to mo was brought to mv mind
more clearly than ever. ' How, 1 nked
myself, could a sensible man one whom
the citizens, not only the ignorant peas
ants, but the intelligent and educated
people, intrusted with their interests be
cause they considered him the most'
capable and honest man among them
how could such a man Ihj driven almost
to monomania by the murder of a ped-.
dler? Tho continual contemplation of j
some dark problem might, of course,
cause such mental alcrratioo. on ine
other hand, tho peaceful life of those
mountaineers was too 6iniple find too
healthy to bring on mental troubles
which result from the overwork, niubb
tion, intcinierance and excesses incident
to life in the capitals.
Thus 1 quickly argued with myself while
Arnaud stood there rooted to the spot, as
though PiM'libound by his memories. I
looked at him again. His face was still
expressionless, hut tho sweat rolled down
his cheeks, and in his look there was
something terribly tragic. Then a hor
riblo suspicion, which perhaps had al
ready been outlined in my mind, sud
denly presented itself to me, and in
stinctively without reflection I ex
claimed: "liut, you wretch, it was you who
killed himl"
Arnaud turned toward me, his eyes
wide open, his form almost erect. A
little foam came to his lips. Ho clinched
his fists and came toward me, and then,
as I retreated, ho threw himself upon the
ground, exclaiming in a hoarse voice:
"Ah! do not denounce luel Do not de
nounce me!"
Ho dragged himself along the ground.
At last bio features underwent a change
and his convulsed face, contorted mouth,
dilated nostras and enormous eyes
ehowed his tenor. Something of the
fear that possessed him was communi
cated to me, and at tho same time 1 felt
great pity for him. What crime deserved
this long eriod of torture? What pun
ishment could compare with jt? Gesticu
lating wjldly, he repeated his prayer in
a husky voice:
"Do not denounce- mc! Do not de
nounce me!"
"Do not fear," I said, "I am neither
judge nor informer; I will keep your
secret. 12ut why did you"
He divined my thought and interrupted,
me, exclaiming:
"No! No! No I fan say no more!
That will never bo known! Never!"
Then ritmir from tho eround with all
the ngiiity of a young man, lie took Might
cud ran toward tho village.
During the following winter I did not
havo'occasion te revisit the valley, but
in tho spring 1 p.gain went to Sentier.
On stopping at the inn at Pont I no-,
ticed that tho corner of tho room
where old Arnaud used to sit drinking
absinthe was vacant. I asked the inn- j
keeper what had become of him, I
Ah, tho isoor man!" he replied. "It
is a sad story. You know I told you
that ho was a" littlo crazy. Well, it was
found that he had lost his wits alto
gether. Ho Iinally persuaded himself
that it was he who had killed old Mathu
rin, and hodenounced himself as the
murderer. It becaruo necessary to put
him in an Insane asylum." J
"Hut," I said, after a slight hesitation,
4what if he wero not insane? Wrhat if
he really were tho murderer?"
My host regarded mo with sjq air of .
stupefaction.
"lie a murderer!" he exclaimed. "How
can you imagine that he would commit
cuch a crime? He did not have an .en
emy and was the most upright man in
the place!"
Tius perfect confidence had tho effect
of shaking mv conviction. I kept old
Arnaud's confession to myself, and I
liavo never made up my mind whether
he was an assassin stricken with remorse
or the victim of monomania. Trans

Mastodons la Alaska.
That the mastodon was once rtfcarnon
in Alaska is certain from the great num
ber of their skeletons, found in the
marshes and clay banks of the Yukon
and northern plains; but that this huge
pachyderm still exists there in the liv
ing state has never been deemed likely,
or even conjectured, till recently.
This conjecture rests on reports byway
of the Stick Indians on the White river,
.7. tributary of the Yukon.
The account is that wliilo hunting on
a wooded bottom, a few mUes from this
river, two Indians came upon a trail,
consisting of enormous tracks fully two
feet across, and deeply imprinted in tho
moss and earth, strewn along near which
were broken branches of the trees.
Following cautiously on these signs,
they at length heard the noise of the
creature feeding, and presently espied a
prodigious animal, as large, they assert,
as a white man's house meaning the
trader's one story storev
Its teeth, they declared, wero as long
as a man's leg, and curved outward,
whil3 its ears were likened to a seal sldn
in size. Iu color it was represented to
bo dark brown. It leaned against a dead
tree stub, and scratched its side, and its
body seemed to be covered with patches
of coarso brown hair. Terrified at the
sight cf such enormous game, the two
hunters promptly retreated.
Other native hunters corroborate lhi3
story with similar accounts of their ex
periences; accounts which they are re
luctant to relate fcr fear of ridicule, or
from some superstitious feeling regard
ing the matter.

DEATH INTERVENED.
A Young AVotnan AVho Four Accepted
feuitora Havo Died.
A strango story printed in the St.
Louis Glcjbc-Democrat caused consid
erable commotion in the southern end
"of that city, where the lady in ques
tion resided quite awhile.
The story was told by a clergyman
of tho I Episcopal church, who has been
n suli'crcr from the lady's strange fate.
The lady in question is but a visitor to
America, whence she camo to try and
.hnko olT a spell of which she firmly
believes sho is the - victim. A few
yvai-s previous to her leaving "His
toric Caledonia" she returned from the
patrimonial estates of the family, niae
and ono-half miles from the llolyrood
palace, in Edinburgh, to Aberdeen.
lJy the death of her father, since her
arrival in this country, sho has become
an heiress to a large estate. Sho is rev
lined, pmeeful and handsome, but tho
fatality attaching to her makes her life
an unhappy one.
When but 17 yejxrs old sho became
sf ron;;ly attached to a nephew of tho
ii':oj of Carlyle. One day, while
ridii.g across the heath in his com
pany, f.ho had n presentiment that ho
woiikl propose that night and that she
accepted. She saw him, in a moment
ary virion,' lying, pale and cold, by
the to.K1.: ido. Bewildered, sho invol
untarily stopped her horse, and in an-otlie:-
moment fell in a swoon. He
bore her to a cottager's near by, and
011 her recovery the bashful young
man's love had becu t,o intensified by
anxiety that, in a moment of mutual
tenderness, they were betrothed. After
escorting her lienne he had to pass the
same spot to return to his xlomieile.
The uext morning they found him
dead near where she had fallen. Ilis
horso had evidently thrown him, and
he had been killed by the consequent
injury to his head.
The lady recovered, and eighteen
months afterward she was betrothed
to an English naval officer, who was
sudden! v ordered to the West Indies
to join ll. Id. S. s;cliooshvp Eurytiice.
Tho next spring, on tho return of the
ship home, she was wrecked, and all
on board but two wero lost. Tho
young lover was net one of tho saved.
Time healed the laely's twice wound
ed hcai', and her atlections were won
by an English army officer, who was
drowncel shortly after the betrothal.
Tho night he was drowned she was
attending a ball, and, according: to hew
statement, she was seized with a sud
den attack of dizziness and fainted,
On recovering she said she had seen,
in a vision, tho ball room suddenly
transformed into a submarine '""erri
containing nothing: b ;ne cpse. of
llcrAa??tcd ."eutenant. She could
never 2Z 1I1(iuccd to elance again.
It took a great deal of persuasion to
induce her to become a nance again.
Uut the persistence of an American
tea captain conquered her reluctance,
and she accepted him. He returned
to Philadelphia with his ship for the
purpose of putting hi affairs in shape
for the wedding. While his ship was
at anchor off the Delaware Break
water he was also drowned. The bride
elect came to the Quaker City after
warel, and, having relatives in Caron
delet, resol veel to make a long visit to
them.
Tho clergyman who furnished the
facts above related met and loved the
lady, and she apparently reciprocated,
but when he proposed she replied by
telling him her story, and all his elo
quence failed to change her resolution
never to marry. His attention to her
had been a matter of society gossip,
so that there was something of a sen
sation where there appeared in the so
ciety columns of The Globe-Democrat
an item stating that she had gone to
visit frienels in the interior of the
state, and would soon return to her
home in Scotland to reside perma
nently. A Legal Amulet.
The plea of insanity as a defense in
criminal actions is becoming pretty
threadbare, but a device by which the
same effects are secured seems to be
working admirably. Nowadays it is
the fashion to claim that tho criminal
in an action, whether it be theft, black
mail, murder, or what not, is the vic
tim of a sunstroke. Apparently a sun
stroke is tho most convenient thing a
person can possibly have. It allows
him to continue his ordinary course of
life uninterruptedly, but confers upon
him tho privilege cf doing anything
his vagrant fancy may suggest, quite
unhampered by moral or legal restric
tions. .
The Irishman who described a "child
of fancy" as a child who did whatever
he fancied eloing was not very far out
of tho way in tlescribing the condition
of a man who has been so fortunate aa
to have a sunstroke. That lucky ac
cident places him above responsibility.
A man in a western city amused him
self recently by firing a revolver into
a crowd, wounding three persons, one
of them fatally. A physician's cer
tificate was produced stating that,
owin-? to the effect of a sunstroke re-ceivc-tl
in India, tho prisoner was at
times irresponsible for liis actions. Of
course, there was nothing to be said
after that, and even the ieiea of shut
ting tho man up seemed to his intel
ligent and ; impartial judges a super
fluous precaution. He was allowed to
go at large on the strength of his lucid
intervals, the inference being that the
officials themselves wero net troubled
by anything of that Port,
It would not be tliificult to multiply
instances although it is hardly neces
sary; whoever has thought of the
matter must have recognized the con- j
vincing nature of the argument from
sunstroke when properly applied to.
the average jury. To 6ne vho has
any inclination toward a disregard of j
the laws .a sunstroke would seem to be
of the greatest possible benefit. .It is a
. thing, moreover, so easy to have, eo dif
ficuit to dL?nrQYe and so admirably flex
ible in its ctf ects, tjhat it would seem a
matter of tho most obvious policy for
whoever is Ukely ever to find himself at
