" WRITTEN IN BLOOD. Qviilot , the Do too ivo , on tbo Troll. On thu ufturnnon of Juno i8 , 1870 , Iho Uuo Lfcluauwas startled by ilio report lhit : n murder had bei'ii com- untied at No. III ) . At this iniinbi'i- retired hliir-drossor had been occupy ing apartments , r.iul hail lived in u very vccunttio manner some oi lit years. llo was reported to lw very riih , nnd to jjmvu only ono rulntivo , n ncphow , who had married , nnd who U-i'pt nn imitation jewelry store in the Rue Vivionnc. Un thu day mentioned the servan on entering the room of the old gen tk'inan found his lifeless form on thu floor in a pool of his own blood. Tin police were immediately notified , niu thu authorities soon arrived to nuki the necessary examinations. Shortly after thu dutuctive , Guilot , nrrivod , to whom the commissary of police remarked marked : "Your services will not bo needed Guilot. the criminal is known , and known in a very positive fashion. Tin1 crime huvini ; been committed , thu us sasaion lied , believing that his victim had expired , llo was mistaken. Thu unfortuimto man still livod. Sum- monim ; all his strength liu dipped onu of his lingeis in the blood that wait flowing from the wound , hu wrote on the Iloor his murderer's iiiinio. Look ! ' On the floor in Inrjjo tcrawlini , ' let- tore was written with blood A uup. ' ' 'I'll " said the ' it , commissary , thu beginning of thu namu of thu old nun's nephew , of whom ho WJH very fond , and who ia named Aguepont. " "Tho devil ! " replied the duti-ctivu. "i don't suppose ho willtty to duny it , " continued the magistrate. "Tho five loiters nro an overwhelming charge against him Besides , who ] ) rotils by the crime except the nephmv ? See , nothing' has boon disturbed to throw justice on the wrong econt , and the concierge BUJ ho was the only person who visited thu apartments of the old man hut ovonipg , she having recognized him by thu fact that hi * do , a sjreat favorite , was with him. ' " "That's plain , " said Guilot ; "thu fellow's a fool. " Whilu the magistrate turned to give further directions to his clerk , thu detective - tectivo proceeded to iniiko au oxami- nution of the surroundings. Every thing nbout thu room was in its place ; no sign of a scutllu was apparent. Un der a chair a cork covered with green wax wan found. It had been used , and the wax portion soon showed marks of thu corkscrew' ; but on the end was u deep notch , evidently made by some sharp instrument. This , Guilot con sidered the basis of a clew , and placed in his pocket. Approaching the corpse as it lay on the floor , hu commenced n minute ex amination. The instrument of crime must have been n poniard or a sharp knife. The old man had been struck in the throat nnd neck cut from ear to ear. Then looking at thu hand besmeared smeared with blood , the detective , starting back , exclaimed : "Great Heaven ! Look ! The right hand ia perfectly clean the fingers of the loft hand only are stained with blood ! It was not the old man who traced tlio.su letters. " "Andto'think I didn't notice it , " said the magistrate , mournfully "Now , " replied ( Juilot , "can wo imagine u murderer stupid enough to denounce himself by writing his name by the sidu of his victim' ! " "It is plain , " said the magistrate , "that Ajruepont _ in not thu criminal. Who , then , is he ? It is your duty , Guilot , to find out , " IJo paused. An ofiicor entered , who , addressing the magistrate , eaid ; "Your orders are executed , mon sieur. The arrest has been made Aguopont has confessed everything. " "What ! " exclain.rd Guilot , while wo are endcavoiing to provo Aguo- pont's innocence lie is confessing his guilt. " The commissary having gene through the necessary forms reiniirod by law , retired : Then Guilot , calling the concierge before him , elicited from him thu fol lowing story ; TJio old gentleman's naiiio wan Louis liigot. llo was a peculiar old man , of yory regular habits. Jlo hud very very few visi tors-in fact , hardly any except his honhciw , M. Aguepont , who dined with liiln every Sunday at a neighbor ing restaurant. They were never known to have oven a dispute , except an occasional sqnuhblo about Madame Marie , she being the wife of JI , Aguepont , and a very magnificent croituro , who , M. Bigot said , led her husband by the ncni > . Madame Marie and her huoband had been at logger heads for a year. She hud wanted M. IJi'got to Irnd Aguopoint a thoti sand francs to buy stock of n jeweler in the I'alais Hoyal , but ho had re fused , eaying ( hut they might do as they pk-iiHcd with his fortune after hm death. She further utated that on the evening before only Aguopont had visited M. Bigot and had not left till. On every previous occasion Aguopont had spoken to her , but last evening ho had failed to do HO , Although slio did not see his face , she know him from tlii fact that his do Bruno was with him. This WUB all that could \x \ < learned from the concierge. The detective then left the house and hastened to the Quai dos Orfoo- res , where Aguopont was imprisoned , and lie was at once admitted to the prisoner. Fiom him ho elicited noth ing s , ve a confession of Ins guilt. Kvon then ho could not dissuade him- elf tint there was noino mystery buried in this strange all'air. .Uler several unsuccessful lt"inpts to W wilder the prisoner , the dolectivo askfd : "Whore did you buy the revolver you utcd to commit the crime ? " "I had it in my possession for (1,11110 lime , " ho answered. "What did you do with it after ward ? " "Throw it down the outer boule vard " . "Search will bo nmdu and it will bo found. Hut why did you let your dog follow you ? " nskcd Gmlot. "What dog ? " "Your dog - Bruno. " Auuopont Rank lurk upon hi * out and refused to speak futthor. AfU r vainly trying to draw from the nns- oner further information , Guilot de parted mutterim * tw himself : "Who knows ! t have soon famous actors in my time. " Leaving the pricon the ilodctire turned his steps toward thu Hue Vivi- nine , determined to fica .Madame Agnepont and obtain from her all ihi- might know concerning the m tnli'r. First , hu determined to find out i-i what estimation thu AguopnniH were hold by thuir neighborn , Komi th" nuighboiing idiop-kuepurn Uuilot learned that Aguepunt bore nn UNCO- lent cli.irauccr , and inadame'a ivputu- tion was above reproach. Nut a breath ot slander asiuiled her yood nami' . ' Strange , " said the detective to hinmelf , "that such people should bu mixed up in Biieh an all'air as llii * . " Having arrived nt a shop over whose dour hung the sign , "Ague- pout , Gold and Imitation .limelry , " Uuilot entered. He was shown into thu back shop , where Madame sat at tired in a doup mourning drew. In her hand shu held n stamped paper. It watt a summons to appear at thu Palais du .Inatico before thu examining mag istrate. "Madame , " said Guilot , "I am sent hero in the service of thu law. I am a detective. As you know , your hus band has been arrested , charged with the murder of M. Bigot. " "Monsior , " she replied , "lie is in nocent. But see , 1 have received tlii-t summons. What can they want of me ? " "To obtain information which I hope will provo your husband's inno cence. Don't look upon me us nn enemy , Madame. I wish to aseorUiin thoB truth. Will you answer mo frankly ? " "Question mo , monsieur. " "You know , madame , " hu began , " .tnat last night at 11 o'clock M. Hi- got , your husband's uncle , was mur dered " "A Ins. " "Where was monsieur Agiiopont at tint hoiuV" "My God ! it is a fatality. " "Whoro did your husband spend last night ?
