TWILIGHT. Slowly Ulen the long June day, Softly rolls the earth away, Lovelier light at length divining. All a dream of misty bloom. Trembling stars and golden gloom. Larger heavens and sweeter shining— Which is dearer, dusk or day? Where the glory dyed the dark. Lost in light the ruby spark. Violet gleam and saffron splendor. Melt ami mingle into one. When the long June day is done. All the depths throb close and tender— Is it day. or is it dark? Love! the long June day had life. Silver showers and sunny strife— Now its rosy wraith fades o’er us! Eld’s vast twilight fills our eyea. Yet what freedom of the skies Parts the star sown way before us— la it death, or is it life? -Harriet P. Spofford in Harper’s Bazar. TALE OF CRIME, di'.ctiou of the as*a*su>'« portrait should l>e entirely posr ible. It is probable, if not sure, that the eye of the corpse now lying upon the slab of the morgue con tains the exact reproduction of the fea- , tures of the one yon seek. With your permission I will draw it from them.” “Draw it, but how?” “2y ¡ihotography—it is my business, | II. le Chef. And this matter, this eub- jeef I speak of, 1 have studied it long and almost with passion, for I hold it to be. in case of success, one of the most useful and beautiful applications of no lern science. I know it can be done. » have myself experimented, and in one i .stance have reproduced the lineaments cf t'.ie physician who had leaned above the bed of the dying.” The uiau spoke with animation, and while speaking his voice vibrated, his eyes burned, his whole countenance was illuminated, irradiated with the light of a legitimate pride. "Then so lie it. monsieur," agreed the chef de surete. "Take your instruments to the morgue tomorrow morning at 10 o'clock. I will see that the clerk is in structed. Later on I shall myself be there. 1 have the honor, monsieur, to wish you good morning." In the obscure nook at the morgue where he had inclosed himself, in ac cordance with the arrangements made at the office of the surete. Frederick Bouscal, his body bent, his face drawn, watched anxiously the result of his last washing. The plate was there before him in its bath of quicksilver, into which he had dropped it awhile ago with such fear and infinite precaution. S -nsitized? Vitalized? At least it should be. and if the conditions of tbe crime were such as he supposed them, and the victim before dying had really seen her murderer’s face, the portrait of the assassin would be there under that bed of gelatin en traine to melt away. His throat closed as by a grip of iron, the opera or held himself immovable, hearing only, with painful distinctness, the gurgle of the water as it dripyid upon the faces of the dead in the adjoin ing chamber, the plunge of his blood as it throbbed and hammered through the arteries of his heart. And at last the moment came—the moment that was to reveal to him all or nothing. He rose—that poor, trembling photographer rose, 1 say, tc >k it care fully by its dripping edges, that plate upon which his fate was hanging, half closed his eyes, held it to the single ray of light that filtered through the yellow pane, to stagger back with a groan of anguish, to let it crash into a thousand pieces. His son! Good heavens! The face of the murderer, the face of the son! Five minu^« later when Frederick Bouscal. the 'photographer, came from his nook, and the chief de surete. await ing him with impatience, hurried to meet him, he saw immediately Ly the pallor of his face, by his somber eveu that he had nothing good to announce to him. "Well.” said he. "nothing?” "No," responded Bouscal, "nothing.” “Allons! no matter Try it a second time. Do it again." “Impossible! The transparency of the cornea is destroyed. 1 wished to wash it, and 1 burned it through mistake in the vials. 1 salute yon. XI. le Chef!' And Frederick Bouscal turned away. The next morning the commissaire < f the quarter of Terne*, forwarding to the prefecture his regular report, headed it with the following item: "Today at 10 o’clock a summons to ICO Rue Laugiere. A call from the con cierge, suspicious of charcoal fumes from tbe room of the Bonscals, man and wife, his locataires. The door by my or der was forced. Too late—they were dead, both of them, side by side upon the Led, a brazier of lighted charcoal plainly indicating the tuanmrof their death. A double suicide—poverty the cause.”—Tit-Bit Prize Story From the French. XI. Theodore, chef de surete, sat in his cabinet deeply perplexed, his two el bows on his desk, his head on his hands. He was musiujf. "And was it going to last, this, which had been going on for so long awhile? And these assassins, were they going to end by beating him? Were they going to compel him by adverse public opin ion to send in Lis resignation? “Pai bleu! It looked so, and as if they did it on purpose, passing the word from one to another to force him to get out of their way. Eight assassinations, one after another! Crimes of the worst cali ber. with startling details, which peopled alike with horrifying visions the sleep of the bureaucrat and the concierge. And not an assassin, for all their skillful work, had they been able to lay their hands upon. They had fled, every man of them. They had disappeared, van ished—piff, like a puff of air. Celerity, dispatch, their motto, and to go without leaving an address behind them! Frank ly. it had begun to pass the bounds of all reason. "And now to top off these eight other crimes there was still another, a ninth one—a murder like the others, accom plished the evening before under similar conditions." The chef de surete pulled himself to gether. threw back his head like a war horse sniffing battle, and—the door opened. It was his secretary who presented himself, liearing a card in his fingers. “A gentleman, monsieur, who insists upon seeing you. He declares," and the secretary smiled a little at the absurdity of the idea—"he declares himself in a position to furnish yon with definite par- ticv.’ur* regarding the crime of yester day." "Ah. the crime of yesterday!" The chief turned quickly. “Then bid him enter." said he. and while the secretary regained the anteroom to do his bidding M. Theodore cast his eye upon the card liefore him. "Frederick Bouscal,"he read in a half voice. "Bouscal. Bonscal. It seems to me that 1 know that name—that I've heard it somewhere." He scrawled a line upon a scrap of pa- per and handed it to the secretary, who returned it. ut the moment ushering in the visitor who had asked to see him, dismissed him with a word and was ready for the matter in hand. M. Theodore raised his eyes. Before him was a man simply but neatly cloth ed. and with a frank and honest counte nance. though veiled as by a cloud with sadness. "You have particulars to give me. have you not?” questioned the chef de surete. Paiticulars of the crime of yesterday?" "I hope so. monsieur.”simply respond ed the visitor. "Ah. hope so! You are not sure, then?" "It rests with you.
