WAKING'S PERIL.

7 Qmlinued from Second Page.

In/? those whom she lured, and where {she could watch him, and, to her eager •delight, she noted and prepared to make much of his attentions to Mme. Lascelles. Incidentally, too, she might inveigle the susceptible Lascelles himself, on the principle that there's no 'fool like an old fool. Mrs. Doyle lent herself eagerly to the scheme. The letters began to pass to and fro again. Lascelles was fool enough to 'answer, and when, all on a sudden, 'Mrs. Doyle's "long-missing relative," as she called him, turned up, a pensioner on her charity, it was through the l! united efforts of the two women he got a situation as cab-driver at the stable up at the eastern skirt of the town. Dawson had enlisted to keep from starving, and, though she had no I use for him as a husband, he would do to fetch and carry, and he dare not (disobey. Twice when Doyle was I battery officer of the day did this strangely assorted pair of ,• women entertain Lascelles at sup-

per and fleece him out of what money he had. Then came Philippes with Lascelles in Mike's cab, as luck

viTfrould

have it, but they could not fleece

'Philippes. Old Lascelles was rapidly succumbing to Nita*B fascinations when came the night of the terrible storm. JMike had got to drinking, and was laid ilow by the lieutenant. Mike and Bridget both vowed vengeance. But meantime Doyle himself had got wind of something that was going on, and •he and his tyrant had a fearful row, He commanded her never to allow a

man inside the premises when he was 7 away, and, though brought home ^sjdrunk that awful night, furiously ordered the Frenchman out, and might have assaulted them had not Bridget lassoed him with a chloroformed towel.

That was the last he knew until another day. Lascelles, Philippes and she, "Mrs. Dawson, had already drunk a bottie of champagne when interrupted by ,Doyle's coming. Lascelles was tipsy, 'had snatched his pistol and fired a shot to frighten Doyle, but had only enraged him, and then he had to run for his cab. He was bundled in and Doyle disposed of. It was only three blocks •down to Beau Rivage, and thither :,'?Mike drove them in all the storm. She did not know at the time of Waring's jbeing in the cab. In less than fifteen minutes Mike was back and called excitedly for Bridget had a hurried consultation with her she seized a waterproofjfend ran out with him, but darted back and took the bottle of chloroform phe had used on her husband, now lying limp and senseless on a sofa below, .and then sho disappeared. When half an hour passed and Lascellep failed to return with them, bringing certain papers of which he'd been speaking to

Philippes, the latter declared there must be something wrong, and went out to reconnoiter despite the storm. He could see nothing. It was after midnight when Mrs. Doyle came .rushing in, gasping, all out of breath, "along of the storm," she said. She had been down thp levee \yith Mike to find a cushion and lap-robe he dropped and couldn't afford to lose. They never _joukl Jjave found it at all "but for ould Lascelles lending them a lantern." He wanted Mike to bring down two bottles of champagne he'd left here, but it was storming so that he would not venture again, and Lieut. Waring, she said, was going to spend the night with Lascelles at Beau Rivage Mike couldn't drive any further down towards the barracks. Lascelles sent word to Philippes that he'd bring up the papers first thing in the morning, if tlio storm lulled, and Philippes went out indignant at all the time lost, but Mike sworo he'd not drive down again for a fortune. So the Frenchman got ir.to the cab and wont, up with him to tc 1 he moment he was gone Mrs. Ooylc declared she was dead tired, used up. and drank huge goblets of the wine, until she reeled off to her room, leaving an npron behirul Then Mrs. paWson went to her own room, after putting dtrt the lights, and when, two days later, slie heard the awful news of the murder, knowing that investigation would follow and she aiul her sinst)e brought to light, for $he had enough of his mohvy iu her po&*3SH>n. aaJ poor demented Dawson, finding her gone, followed.

Philippes' story •oorrobomtt tina in

every

particular^, The last sftw of the cab or of cabnuvn was near the house of the ftoolt and ladder company east of the jfVeneh market,. The driver ithorse was dead beat fond, could «'a no more, so Philippes went market, succeeded in getting °.no Aer cab by paying a big price, at Cassidy's, waited all the morn.ng about Lascelles' place, and finally, lhaving to return to the northeast at »nee, he took the evening train on the

Jackson road and never heard of the murder until ten days after. He waa» amazed at his arrest.

And then came before his examiners a mere physical wreck—the shadow of his former self—caught at the high tide of a career of crime and debauchery, a much less bulky party than the truculent Jehu of Mme. Lascelles' cab. yet no less important a witness than the same driver. He was accompanied by a priest. He had been biwight hither In an ambulance from the Hotel Dion, where he had been traced several days before and found almost at death's door. His confession was most important of all. He had struck Lieut. Waring as that officer turned away from Lascelles' gate, intending only to down and then kick and hammer him, but he had struck with a lead-loaded robber club, and he was horrified to see hitsu drop like one dead. Then he lost his nerve and drove furiously back for Bridget. Together they returned and found Waring lying1 there as he had left him on the dripping banquette. "You've killed him, Mike. There'sonlyone thing to do,* she said "take hia watch and everything valuable he has, and we'll throw him over on the levee." vtshe herself took the knife from

his overcoat pocket, lest he should recover suddenly, and then, 'ss.id the driver, "even as we were bending over him there came asudden flash of lightning, and there was Lascelles bending over us. demanding to know wh^t it meant. Then like another flash he seemed to realize what was up, sprang back and drew pistoL He had caught us in the act. There was nothing else to do we both sprang upon him. He fired and hit me, but only in the arm, and before he could pull trigger again we both grappled him. I seized his gun, Bridget his throat, but be screamed and fought like a tiger, then wilted all of a sudden- I was scared and helpless, but she had her wits about her and told me what to do. The lieutenant began to gasp and revive just then, so she soaked the handkerchief in chloroform and placed it over his mouth, and together we lifted him into the cab. Then we raised Lascelles and carried him in and laid him on his sofa, for he had left the door open and the lamps on the table. Bridget had been there before and knew all about the house. We set the pistol back in his hand but couldn't make the fingers grasp it. We ransacked the desk and got what money there was, locked and bolted the doors and climbed out of the side window, under which she dropped the knife among the bushes. 'They'll never suspect us in the world, Mike,' she said. 'It's the lieutenant's knife that did it, and, as he was going to fight him anyhow, he'll get the credit of it all.' Then we drove up the levee, put Waring in Anatole's boat, sculls and all, and shoved him off. 'I'll muzzle Jim,' she said 'I'll make him believe that 'twas he that did it when he was drunk.' She took most of the money and the watch and ring. She said she could hide them until they'd be needed. Then I drove Philippes up to town until I began to get so sick and faint I could do no more. I turned the cab loose and got away to a house where I knew they'd take care of me, and from there, when my money was gone, they

sent me to the hospital, thinking-1 was dying. I swear to God I never meant to more than get square with the lieutenant I never struck Lascelles at all: 'twas she who drove the knife into his heart."

Then, exhausted, he was led into an adjoining room, and Mrs. Doyle was marched in, the picture of injured Irish innocence. For ten minutes, with wonderful effrontery and nerve, she denied all personal participation in the crime, and faccd her inquisitors with brazen calm Then the chief quietly1 turned and signaled. An officer led forward from one side the wreck of a cabman. supported by the priest a door opened on the other, and, escorted by cuothur policeman, Mrs. Dawson reentered, holding fn Ker hands out-

so ended the mastery of Beau Rivage. Them Was silence a moment in Crasu's'pretty parlor when the captain had tinished history, faring was the Brst to speak "There is one point I wish they'd clear up." 4^ "What's that?" said Cram. "Who's got Merton's watch?" "Oh, by Jove! 1 quite forgot. It's all right, Waring. Anatole's place was "pulled' last night, and he had hers valuables all done op in a box. *To pay for his boat.' he said."

A quarter of a century has passed away since the scarlet plumes of Light Hattery "X" were last seen dancing along the levee below New Orleans. Beau «Rlvage, old and moss-grown at the close of the war, fell into rapid de-1 •cline after the tragedy of that April I night. Heavily mortgaged, the propjerty passed Into other hands, but for ^ears never found a tenant. Far and iear the negroes spoke of the homestead as haunted, and none of their trace could be induced to set foot withfin its gates. One night the sentiy at

!tho

guardhouse saw sudden light on the westward sky, and then a column flame- Again the fire alarm re-1 sounded among the echoing walls of the barracks but when the soldiers reached the scene, a seething ruin was1 all that was left of the old. southern home. Somebody sent Cram a marked copy of aNew Orleans paper, and to their cosy quarters at Fort Hamilton the captain read it aloud toMs devoted Nell: "The old house has been vacant, an object of almost superstitious dread to the neighborhood," said the Times, "ever since the tragic death of Annand LasceUes in the spring of 1868. In po-

lice annals the affair was remarkable because of the extraordinary chain of circumstantial evidence which for a time seemed to fasten the murder upon an officer of the army then stationed at Jackson barracks, but whose innocence was triumphantly established. Mme. Lascelles, it is understood, is now educating her daughter in Paris, whither she removed immediately after her marriage, a few months ago, to Capt, Philippe Lascelles, formerly of the confederate army, a younger brother of her first husband." "Well," said Cram, "I'll have to send that to Waring. They're in Vienna by this time, suppose. Look here, Nell, how was it that when we fellows were fretting about Waring's attentions to madame, you should have been so serenely superior to it all, even when, as I know, the stories reached you?" "Ah, Ned, I knew a story worth two of those. He was in love with Natalie Maitland all the time." [THE £ND.]

PLUCK OF AN OPERA SINGER.

How Rabini Once Broke His Collar Bone, Bat Finished the'Performance.

Fifty years ago European audiences listened with rapt admiration to. Rubini, a tenor of whom it was said that, though he himself could not act, he made his voice act for him, says a writer in the Philadelphia Press. The intensity of expression he gave to his voice, the judicious use of the tremolo, and the management of light and shade produced a thrilling effect. But his best vocal feat consisted in taking the bass of the upper stave without preparation, thus retaining it for a long time, and then letting it imperceptibly die away. The listeners could hardly believe their ears. The adventurous are always on the edge of danger. On one occasion Rubini, after repeating this vocal feat, and being a second time encored, found himself unable to produce the expected note. Determined not to fail, he gathered up his vocal strength and made a supreme

effort. The note came with its"wonted power, brilliancy and duration, but at the cost of a broken collar bone. A surgeon examined the singer and found that the tension of the lungs had been too powerful for the strength of his collar bone. Two months' rest would be required to reunite the clavicle, and this the singer declared to be impossible, as he had only'finished several days of a long engagement. "Can I sing at all with a broken collar bone?" he asked. "Yes it will make no difference in your voice," answered the surgeon. •'But you must avoid lifting heavy weights, and any undue exertion— above all, you must leave the 8 flat alQne."

Rubini continued to sing with a

A Wonderful Feat.

*Two Americans in the employment of the government of British Columbia recently accomplished a feat hitherto

The object of the trip was to ascertain if it were possible to lay out a pack and cattle trail over the range from Golden to Kalso. The men traveled one hundred and fifty miles on snowshoes, fifty miles over the wildest mountain country, where glaciers abounded. T\»y found a pass at an altitude of sis thousand five hundred feet that is practicable for cattle and pack trains in summer. The thermometer was below zero during most of the trip, which occupied nearly a month.

Always In Minehief.

As every season has its boyish games, so it has also its boyish dangers. Says Mr. Grogan as reported by the Indianapolis Journal: "I see be the papers that the small boys that was gittin' tkimselves drownt last summer is now a-fallin' out o' hickory trees an' breakin' their necks."

How Burglars Get Their Tools. Every little while the police arrest a man with a kit of* burglars' tools in his possession, and one naturally wonders where they all come from. It is easy to buy a gun of any description, and the most reputable citizen would not be ashamed to he sees purchasing the most wicked looking knife erer made. Bat who would know where to get a slung shot, or a jimmfe, or a derice for drilling into a safe, or any of the many tools used by the professional burglar in the pursuit of his calling? There probably ate places in many large cities where these things are made and sold to the usersybut such places are scarce. Once in awhile the police find such a factory, and then things ro hard for the proprietors. It may seem a little strange to learn that most of the tools used in burglaries are msde by mechanics who are respectable men in the community.

When a burglar wants any particular tool made, be goes to a mechanic who can do the job, and pays him perhaps five times what it is actually worth for making the

tool and keeping still about it. Superinisionage of the police deparrair^ recalls many cases of this kind that have come to light in Boston. One in particular occurred three years ago, when an escaped convict named Williams went to a black smith in Roxbury and got him to make a lot of drills to be used in safe cracking. He personally superintended the temperin of the steel, and when the job was nearly completed it,leaked out and Williams was arrested. In this instance the blacksmith knew nothiug of the use to which the tocls were to be put and escaped punishment. In the opinion of Superintendent Ell bridge most of the tools used by burglars are se cured in this way. The only regular estab lishment where they were made ever dis covered in Boston was at the West'End This was yenrs ago, and the place was soon broken up.—Boston Giobei
