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 ? "
"Ho went to one of our workmen
who had broken hia word and failed
to bring us an article which wo were
to sell to-day. You know wo uro
poor , and could not allbrd to lose a
rmlo , no mutter how small the profit.
At about 0 o'clock ' ho wont out , und I
occompaniud him to an omnibus ,
which he entered before my eyes. "
"Then your workmen will bo able
to swear he saw M. Aguopont at Ins
house at 11 o'clock ? "
"Alas , no. "
"And why not ? "
"Because ho had gone before my
husband arrived. "
"But the concierge BUW him ? "
"Our workman lives in a house
\vhero there is no conciorgo. "
"At what time did your husband
return ? "
"A little af tor midnight. "
"You thought ho had been gone
long ? "
"Oh , yes ; 1 scolded him. He said
that strolling along ho hod stopped at
a cafe to drink a glass of beor. That
was his excuse. "
"Was there nothing peculiar about
him ? "
"Nothing. "
Mudumo seemed overwhelmed with
grief. Large tears rolled down her
paid cheeks. But Guilot thought be
hind those tears , in the depths of her
largo blue eyes , ho could detect a
gleam of joy.
"Could she bo guilty ? " ho thought.
"But where were you , mndnnie ,
durng Iho fatal evening , while your
husband was on that useleHi errand ? "
"I was here , moiiKieur , I have wit
nodsos to provo it , "
"Witnesses ! "
"Yen , monsieur. The evening was
uo warm that I wanted some ice cream.
and , not caring to eat it alone , I sent
my servant to invite two of my neigh
bors , Madame Drogot and Madamu
Caret. Tlioy weru hero till half-past
ulevon. Ask them they will toll you.
My husb.md is innocent. "
"Then how do you explain his con
fession ? "
"He ia mad ! Hois mad ! ! she ex
claimed , sobbing aloud ,
After addressing n few words of
connolution to thu wife , the detective
asked permission to examine the
IIOUHU. To this inadame readily as.
Rented. Examining everything in
both ohops , thu Guilot asked to bu
nhown to the cellar. As hu entered ,
IUH practiced uyo scrutinized every
object. Fifty full bottles stood in
rows , Theio ho clusuly examined ,
"No " ho muttered "not

sealed with green wa.Tho cork

Guilot expressing hirriHolf satisfied ,
they then ascended to the tlu > | > . On
entering , the dotuctivo was mot by
the deg , who snarling savagely , re
filled to let him paM. Guilot , to
quiet him , called :
"Bruno , Bruno. "
The dog , showiii" hit * tooth , drew
luck.
"It is useless to call him , " uaid
nmduinu. "He in not savage , hut lie
obeys only my husband and myself. "
"Where the hist "

" 1 don't know , " silo stammered.
"I'orhapi ho followed your hus

The detective , looking her
in thu eyes , said :
"Then , nmdame , hu is trained to
follow carriages ) ' '
She was oilent.
Not being able to ascertain inoro ,
Guilot withdrew , At a neighboring
cafe , over a cup of coffee , h ? reached
the following milu ion of the problem
lie was atmi that m.idaiuo had lint
stirred fioin the huu-n on the evening
of the murder , But it was clear that
she was nwaro of the. crime , nnd con-
nu ntly acquainted with tlm assas
sin. If A uoiont | committed the
iloed , it was clear that he would not
loavu such incontrovertible proofs
behind , Who , then , was the nasas-
sin ? A man whom thu dog would
follow as it would its owners , since the
dog was at thu Uuo Lfchuo on the
evening of the crime. Su it was some
onu intimate with the Agno | < nnts.
lie muni hate i\w \ husband Vinoe ho
hud planned all to throw mmpici'Ui ' on
him. On Iho oth r h.ind hu must
love ( ho wife , since , knowing him
* hu would not give him up , at thu
fume ttmo xacriticing her husband.
Conclusion : Madnmu , bearing her
reputation , certainly had ilover. .
"Xounda , " ho said to hiihsvlf , "tho
dog must bo ulilir.ed. "
The clock struck three. It was
timu for Madame to do , art for tin-
I'alais do Justice. Gnii.g to the door
of the cafe he saw her after giving a
few parting instructions to the little
servant leave the shop. Hastily
croising the ntrcot he entered the
nhop ; the little scivant was there
alone.
"Whore ia Madnmo Aguopont ? " ho
uskotl.
"Sho has gone out , " Monsieur.
"How unfortunate. How r.orry
your Madamu will he. But perhaps
you can take your mistrisV place , lit-
tlu one. 1 eamo luiek for thu addro M
of the unit Ionian nho asked mo to
visit. "
"What gentleman ? " the servant
anktul.
"You know very well , Monsieur
. There , now , I have forgotten
his name. Thu gentleman thu dog
obeys so wull. "
"Oh , you menu Monsieur Andre. "
"Yes , that's his name. You can
certainly tell mo where the gentleman
HVIM. "
"Oh , yes ; ho lives in the Run do
Uoi-D.ro , No. 'Jit "
"Caught , " muttered Guilot ; then
aloud ; "Thanks. You have donu
Madamu a great Hirvico. Shu will bu
dtdightort. Good-bye , little one. "
So faying , the detective ha.itoncd
to thu Palais do Justice , and , obtatn-
tainiiig a warrant , left at breakneck
speed for thu llui do lloi-Uoro. In
I'Hteen minutes hu was at thu door of
No. 1 ! ! $ .
"Monsieur Andre , " ho said to the
conciergu.
"Fourth tloor , right hand door. "
"Is lie in ? "
"t must treat Monsior Andre to n
bottle of wine. To what shop does hoe
o ? "
"Tho c no opposite. "
In n second the detective was in thu
place indicated.
"A bottle of wine , if you pleasc-
the green seal. "
The wino was brought , and the coik
being examined , it was found to bo a
fac-Himile of the onu in thu dotectivu'it
po.uneiisioii.
"Trapped , " muttered Guilot.
It did not take him long to leave
the shop and reach thu Unntli
tloor. llo knocked at the right hand
door , i
'Come in , " said a voice.
The detective unturud.
"I arrest you in the nnmu of tlm
law "
Thu man turned livid.
"Aro you playing a trick on mo ? "
lie said.
"Don't bo childish. You wore seen
to leave M. Bigut's room , and 1 have
in my pocket thu cork you used to
prevent the point of thu dagger from
breaking. "
"I am innocent ! " exclaimed thu
man.
man."Tell that to the magistrate. Ho
won't believe you. Your accomplice ,
Madamu Aguepont , has confessed all , ' '
"Impossible ! " ho exclaimed. "Sho
knew nothing . "
"Then you did it alone. So much
confessed.
Search disclosed the poniard and
letters from Madame Aguopont.
Twenty minutes later , Andre , find
ing hinmelf in a cell , broke down and
confessed all.
'Ho had known M. Bigot loin ;
time. Ilis main object in murdering
kim was to bring thu punishment of
the crime on Aguupoint. This was
why ho had dreasud like him , and
was followed by the dog Bruno.
When the old man was asiassinatod
he dipped the linger of the corpse in
the blood to trace the final letters
"Agimp , " which had nearly destroyed
an innocent man.
"It wan cleverly arranged , " ho said
boastingly. "If I had succeeded I
would havu killed two birds with one
stone - got rid of Aguepont , whom I
hate , and of whom I am jealous , and
enriched the woman I love. "
It was Mm ply and terribly /ture.

'Unfortunately , my ,
Guilot , "you lost your wits at thu last
moment. It was thu left hnnd you
dipped into the blood. "
Andre stinted terrified.
"Was it that that betrayed mo ? "
"Precisely. "
Then raining his hand to huaren lie
exclaimed :
"That comurt of being a real artint. "
Thou glancing with piteous con
tempt at the detective ho said with a
ant'or :
"Fool. Louis Higot was left-
handed. "
Thus an error had brought the
scoundrel to justice. Aguepont was
set at liberty the next day. When
questioned hit uuid :
"I loved my wife. 1 wanted lo
sacrifice myself for her , I believed
her guilty. "
She WUK arrested , but acquitted by
