Though I am willing to record fully how and why I committed it, I declire t° more than indicate the place of the deed. Those who can recognize it by th clew I give are at liberty to put two and two together

Most people who have been to Switz crland will understand where the hotel of Les Trois Sages is situated. They wi" know what is the chii hostelry of th large town at which the majority of tour ists entering and returhing from the re gion ofthe Alps usually halt, at. least fo a night, as from i'. diverge the main chan nels leading to the choicest scenery of th littlp R»»ouH!ic. Thev will recollect tha the inn ie charmingly placed on the bank of tbe ituine, and that its balconies am windows look out upon and absolute! overhang the rushing river, not 100 mile from it- fill it S-hafthausen. Enough then, as to the locality now, as to m\ coming there, and what happened.

Tiic ftUt :rrtui»is energy of a Briton sixand twenty yeiirs of acjc, six-feet-tvo ii height, and strwi- in proportion, finds better outlet th.ui scrambling over pea«* passes and glaciers, and I 1. id been do ingthison the occasion of which I wiit to mv heart's content for five or six we'-ks. If was not my first experienc th ofthe Alps by many but it had, «n th whole, been the least enjoyable. Tlu companion who was going with me, di* appointed me at the eleventh hour, and 1 started alone, the limited time for m\ outing not brooking delry and, althoug* at times I fell in with pleasant people, was bored by mv solitude. M\ temper, too, always a pepper* one at the best, was consider ably ruffL'd by the loss, towards the end my jour ne v, of my remaining circularnotes. I most stupidly flicked the littic case containing them out of my breast pocket with inv handkerchief as I leaned over the side of the steamer coming dow from Fhiclti to Lucerne, and I had tn mortification of seing it sink into the hlu. lake before my very eves. remainiri cash was only just sufficient to carry me to—well, say, Les Trois Sages, so, immediately on reaching Lucerne, I had to write home for more money, directing that it should await me at the aforesaid well-known hotel. I therefore timed 1113 arrival there accordiugly and it was not an hour to soon, for I could only jus) avoid overstaying my leave by starting for Paris by the iirst"train the next day.

Ilence it was with no little anxiety thai on reaching my inn I demanded of t.ae concierge whether there was any letter for me, and i.iy satisfaction was so great when that majestic functionary handed me one that 1 tore it open then and there displaying the nature of its contents to the throng of waiters, porters, and idlers usually bringing about hotel-halls.

It being late I w:fc soon shown to my room—a luxurious one, lor an alcove where stood the bed, was divided from tlusalon by a heavy portiere, thus making two apartment. 1 took little heed, however, of these vanities at the time. I wa to be off early the next morning, and ere long I was in bed and my light eut. The loss ofthe moncv tended to make me no vt unusually careful of that which I had received so though I left my watch and ctc., on the table in the salon, I laid the packet of notes on the littic marble stand at the bed-head, and it was lucky I did so.

Sound asleep? Sound is not the word for it. Dead asleep would be ne rer the mark that sort of sle.-p which comes to a strong man in perfect health and training after a fa'igumg day's journey. What it'was that aroused me from it I shall never clearly understand but my belief is that it was an instinct rather than a noise which caused me, without altogether returning to consciousness, to open my eyes. My face was turned away from the wall against which one side of the bed stood that I looked straight across the little alcove, and through the half-drawn portiere into the salon. The moon must have risen, for there was a much stronger light in the rooms than when I put out the candle, and deep shadow was cast across the opening between them Her rays thus flooded both apartments bv the single windows in each.

Now I was in that curious state that, although I knew I was awake, I thought I was dreaming in fact, I was just on that mysterious fronticrland between the two states, which is not the least perplexing amongst the phenomena of a mortal existence,—when I saw the figure of a man on all fours crawling out of the stream of moonlight in the salon into the shadow cafe, as I have said, by the arch and heavy folds ot the portiere.

But I knew I was awake when, losing sight of him for a minute there, I saw him again emerging into the rays of light which fell across the floor of the al cove where I lay. I knew, I say, that I was awake now, for could I not distinguish plainly, as he came very slowly and stealthily towards the bed, that his face was hidden by a sort of crape mask? And yet still, for a moment more, I thought I must be dreaming. I had never moved or raised my head from the pillow I had simply opened my eyes, and I still abstained from movement while endeavoring to rei'lize in what condition I was.

Suddenly, however, all doupt disappeared. I took on the instant the fact that this was an attempt at robbery perhaps worse for, approaching the little tableat the bed-head, the figure without rising from the floor lifted one of his hands as if to reach the marbl® top. The man was in arm's length of me now, and, without giving him the slightest warning by any preliminary movement, I endeavored to spring out'ol bed straight upon him. For a second I had him by the collar but, not being able to get clear altogether from the bed-clothes, I was checked, and he slipped out of my grasp like an eel and disappeared in the shadow.

Instantly, however, I was on my feet but thinking that the fellow probably would be armed, I did not attempt to grope for him, but made straight through to tne door of the salon giving on to the landing, intrndinjj to raise an alarm and prevent an escape but, before I could draw the bolt, 1 saw him at the window •pening on to the balcony. His figure came dark between me and the moonlight and judging that, as the casement was open, he must have entered that way, and was now endeavoring to get out by

it, I

once more sprang towards him, and fead him in my arms just as he stepped en to the balcony, and was in the act of climbing over it. He struggled for a moment or two desperately, of course but my hot temper was up now, and, thinking of nothing but the insolent audacity of the intrusion and attempted robbery, I tore him away with great vio

lence,—rfor he was but like a child in his strength compared to me,—and saying in my fury, "Ho, ho,you scoundrel! you want to get out this way, do you? Then by George, you shall go!" I flung him, as if he had been a trus* of straw, over the balcony, iuto—good God! the rushing river below!

Then, and then only, for the first time as my hand quitted hold of him, did I rcnember the situation of my rooms. I had been sleeping in different ®nes al nost every night for the past six weeks ind, in the suddenness and rapidity with vhich the whole of the incidents had hap ened, I entirely forgot that oelow the mlconv rushed the impetuous Rhine Lightning does not express the swift ceennejs ofthe agony which shot through ny brain as, glaring after the wretched nan, I caught a faint gl mpse of his fa.Ilig figure, and heard the faintest cry and plash rise for a second above the rush of lie torrent.

Not being skilled in describing sensaions, I abstain entirely from attempting express what mine were now. 1 pulled nyself together in a minute or two, enlea voring to collect my thoughts, and to ttle what I ought to do. I walked to he table wher. I had left my watch—it vas gone to the little stand at the bedlead—iny packet of notes was safe: but he hand which I had arrested, only jusr time, as it rose towards them, belonged some one wh:j knew that they were here,—that was evident. Then my eye 11 upon a black object lying on the floor a streak of moonlight it was a piece of bided crape with an elastic band at ached. In the first encounter the thiefs lisguise had falle.i off—here it was !—and remembered that for a second on the balcony I had met the rasc.ti's large dark yes as they seemed starting from his head with terror.

The balcony As I put my hand on the side of the balustrade, in the act ot ooking over, it toucned the top of a light adJer, the other end of which, on examiation, I could now faintly discern in the noonlight rested not a dozen feet down a long but less projecting balcony han mine, for my rooms were over a low-pitched entresol, to which thir lower alcony belonged.

Clearly, then, it was some one engaged ibout the house—a waiter probably—who lad atempted to rob me one of those ho had seen me open my letter and eximine the notes. I bethought me also hen that my movements in my room must have been watched, or that stealthy and would never have raised with such foreknowledge toward the spot where 1 tiad placed the money.

A long acquaintance with foreigh habits had taught me that an amiable cus.otn prevailed amongst the rascatly scum of waiters of boring gimlet holes in the corners of the door-pannels, through which they might become acquainted with the private proceedings of the occupants of the room, either male or female. I was not surprised, therefore, 011 rekindling my candle and examening the door, to "nd several of these trous-jud»s, as they ire playfully called one particularly so ^rge and so directed that anybody in the outer passage could easily obsetve all that went 011 within the room.

My impulse now was to raise an alarm but an instant's reflection showed me that if I did I must bid good-by to all thoughts of reaching Paris by the early train, aud of saving the limit of iny leave. And was it worth my while to do this? 1 lecidedin a moment—most certainly not. Was I to expose myself to vast persona inconvenience and possible professional ruin, through not meeting my engagement, simply for the sake of explaining to the cumbersome law ofthe land, what had happened, and to run the risk of not being able to do so to its satisfaction, and consequently, perhaps, of being incarcer ated us a murderer? Not a bit of it! I would sec the law of Switzerland at Jeriicho first! As it was I had 1 jst my watch, and my temper leapt up in rebellion at the thought, and easily persuaded me for the time, that I should be little better than a fool to risk the prospects of my life bv any act so quixotic. If the rascal were drowned it was his own fault, and there should be an end of it as farai I was concerned. So, at bast, I thought then. No, I would be off as I proposed and with this determination, I began deliberately to dress and pack my knapsack, for sleep was gone for that night. Only one doubt perplexed me. Should I leave the ladder standing .vhere it was, and let the hotel authorities think what they liked, or(for otherwise it would only lead to inquiries and difficulties) should I fling it into the river after the man. Right or wrong, with very little hesitation, I adopted the latter course.

Not a sign of life was visible as I looked once more out upon the broad river and as I gently raised the ladder and con signed it to its depths, I thought it was not the first oecret by a goad many that its impetuous current had carried away into oblivion.

An hour or two lat^r 1 had quietly paid my bill.at the bureau, and was on my way to Paris, and by the following night was once more in my chambers in the Temple.

Argue, reason, justify, talk about selfdefense, and, if I hadn't done this, he would have done so-and-so, as much as vou please, you can never quite philosophize away the very disagreeable sensation which will arise occasionally if you have ever had the misfortune, however unintentionally, to kill a man. My hot temper has often given me cause for regret, not to say remorse but, since the night when I flung the robber into the Rhine, I hope I can safely say I have curbed it. Whenever it comes bubbling up, there alsp comes with it the vivid recollection of that brief struggle on the balcony, and lo! it is subdued on the instant but the recollection, alas 1 is not so speedily dismissed it still hovers painfully in my memory at times, though twelve years have passed since the deed was done,—twelve years duririg which no mention, that I have ever seen, has been made in the papers of any one having been missed from a hotel.

Of course I have been often to Switzerland since, but somehow I have ways avoided the town where stands tM hostelry of Les Troi6 Sages, and I certainly should never think of going up the Rhine again. I strike the Alps now by other routes, and have a tendency to get well to the Italian side of them. Indeed, I have but lately returned from a saunter amongst the hills the neighborhood of Como. What capricious fate led me there to the spot where I was to find the sequelito "My Murder," need not be speculated upon it was one of those strange coincidences, 1^ suppose, which, when met with in fiction, excite little

Well, pulled up one day at an unpretentious little albergo on the side of jteep declivity overlooking the "lazy' lake. The light refreshments which ordered was brought to me as I sat at little table in the garden, sheltered by vines, olive and fig trees, by the padrone himself, a venerable gray-bearded man Only as he set the fruit and bread down before me did I observe that he was blind. He had walked so direct and steadily from the house to where I sat that no one could have guessed at his affliction. The sudden discovery of it, with a sorrowful expression which his face wore, touched me, and I began talking to kirn with what Italian I could muster. His speech showed him to be above the com mon herd, and, after conversing for awhile about the neighborhood and such ordinary topics. I ventured to touch on hir. blindness. "Oh!"' said he, "that is very little, signor, men can be more severely tried than by having to live in the dark. There are worse afflictions than that." "Indeed," I answered, do you speak from experience?" "Truly, signor, I do." "You surprise me I should have thought nothing could be worse. Do you mind telling me what you have found

'"No," he said, slowly sitting down opposite to me "but it is a sad tale. I doubt fit can amuse the signor but, if he is willing to listen, I am willing to tell. It ometimes eaes the heart to pour ouc its troubles even into the car of a stranger. Hut stav, let us know how the time goes, for I have some affairs to attend to by and by."

Whilst speaking, he thrust a hand into the pocket of his vest, and, drawing out a watch without a chain, held it towards ne adding:

"What is the hour, signor? We blind folks are a little helpless in these matters."

I looked into his large brown palm, nd was about lo answer, but the words stuck in mv throat, for surely it was not the first time 1 had seen that dial! "Permit me," I said after a pause, as pretending not "n quite be able to see it, I endeavored to turn th watch 'over in his hand, that I might by a glancc at the back of it, verity the idea which had crossed my mind. He felt what I was doing aud said: "The signor will find the time by the front and not the back." "Surely," I answered "it is 3 o'clock. But that is an English watch you have, is it not

The signor is curious can it signify to him of what manufacture it is?" replied the padrone, in rather an altered tone, but not rudely. "Oh, no," I answered carelessly, not wishing to arouse any suspicion in him "it only struck me as strange to find an English watch in these parts. Pray let me look at it."

V^ith a return of his former sorrowful manner, and with an air of resignation, he reluctantly handed me the watch, saying: "Certainly. If I tell 3'ou one thing I mav as well" tell you all."

A glimpse on the back revealed my own crest and initials but I restrained the expression rising to my lips, and went on: "Ah, a good watch may I ask how you came by it?" "Yes, it will appear in what I have to say. It is all sad,andit is only one 01 the many troubles hich have made me an old man before my time Very sad indeed is all that hangs about that watch. It belongs to my son at least it was •ound upon him when he was dead."

Needless to say how I winced under the old man's words. He continued as he passed a hand across his sighMcss eyes: "Yes, signor, he is dead these many years oast, and perhaps it is as well. Hut. ah me! the way of it. the wav of there is my grief. Could it have been that I had been by, and have known that there was ever so litt'e repentance in his heart, there would have been some little comfort forme, perhaps but, as it was, it is too probable that he went unshriven, unrepentant, suddenly to his account. "'1 ell me, tell me," I said quickly, "the way of his death!" But the padrone was not to be hurried. He seemed to like to linger on the pain his slowly-ut-tered words brought with them, little guessing how they were paining me also.

He went 011: "Ever a prodigal from his youth upward, my boy grew worse and worse as he reached manhood. I had looked that he should inherit my business and good name, for they were both worth inheriting at one time. I kept a hotel at Bcrgomo, and for a while he was my chief waiter, but his vicious course brought ruin on us both. He contracted debts which I had to pay ran away in evil company, and I heard nothing from him for years. "When I did, it was, as usual, with a demand for money. He was there in Switzerland, as a waiter, I believe, a. the hotel of Les' Trois Sages—the signor knows it of course, all the English know it: and there, I afterwards heard, it was that he, in the act probably of attempting some desperate crime, tell one night, into the Rhine, and was picked up dead as appeared. Only by a miracle could it have been that his body was not carried away straight down over the falls at Schaflhausen but it seems that he got entangled with the chain of the ferry which crosses the Rhine, as you know, a little below the hotel. Here again, by a miracle, it chanced that he was seen by some women who were early working at some timber-rafts, and was by them car ried ashore, as I have said, for dead!" "But was he 1 inquired with an anxiety I could ill disguise, as the old* man paused. "No, signor, it was not his destiny to be drowned—would that it had been, for then he would have been saved from the commission of his greatest crime. No he was restored, to return to me and pile upon me further anguish." "He came back to Bergamo a year or two after to a smaller inn, which I was keeping, and, in a drunken brawl with some of his loose companions, he used his knife with a fatal result upon an unmarried man, whose friend, on the instant, stabbed my son to the heart. That is al), signor but the remembrance of his ca reer has been far worse for me than the darkness." "And the watch," I suggested, with a sense of relief quite inexpressible, "was found in his possession." "Yes, signor but I doubt if I had come by it honestly, for they tell me there are a device and letters on

ButstiU I treasure it for his sake, or rath er for his mothers for he was all that remained to me of her. and she idolized him for the five years that she was spar ed after his birth and," added the old man, in a somewhat more cheery tone, as if the recital of his troubles had relieved him, "a good English watch is useful to blind man."

Most assuredly the last tiling in my thoughts was to deprive him of my treasure. I was only too well repaid f.ir my loss by what I had just heard only too grateful for being abl after all, to look back with complacen:v upon what I nevertheless still called MY Murd
