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. JI. le Chef, whether
1 am or not All depends, in fact, upon
an operation, the means of which yon
alone are able to furnish nie.”
