STORY OF MARTIN GUERRZ. | oe
Asovr the middle of the sixteenth century, |Martin Guerre, a young Biscayan, married | Berthande de Rois, a girl of Artigues, as dis | tinguished for good sense as for beauty, The
| vewly united pair were in comfortable circum-
tone, There was no end of testimony to the wicked character of Du Tiih.
If these charges seemed strong, the op- posing evidence was not less formidable. Four sisters of Martin Guerre, who were brought up with him, and were persons of good reputation, were sure that the prisoner was their brother. Two of their husbands also recognized him. Several of the guests at Martin’s wedding, and who had seen warts and other marks on Martin, which the accused likewise had, were equally dicided
,in their identification. Evidence was intro-
| stances, being in social rank above the peasant | duced rendering the existence of a conspi-
class. They were a harmonious couple; the only drawback being that they had no children | for several years. In the tenth year, however, a son was born, whom they named Sanxi. | Not long afterward Martio quarreled with bis | father about some corn, and the dispute be- | came so bitter that he concluded to go away | | for a time until the paternal anger should He did not expect to be absent long, ‘but eight years had passed away before he _was beard of, his wife enduring his absence | with exemplary patience,

cumstance occurred which put an end to all doubt. No less a personage than the gen- uine Martin came in to the court! He had a wooden leg, as rumor had affirmed, and said he came from Spain. He gave a dis- tinct account of the impostor who had as- sumed his name, end demanded that his claime should be heard.

The instrument of this wickedness had fled, and with such consum- mate skill had her flight been contrived that not even a trace of her was left. It appeared that her beauty and accomplishments had won the affections of a youth whose marriage with her his parents opposed. Driven to des~ peration be bad in a moment of frenzy, perished by his own band. Overthe corpse of her lover the governess had sworn a dire revenge. How faithfully she adhered to ber guilty oath, the rapid disease of his relatives fully were at-~ tested.
The story of the Canadian homicide had long since reached us, but had left but little im- pression, being a matter with which we had nothing to do.
Ove night a gentleman retarning trom the theatre entered our office, His look was dis- turbed, and his face was an expression of pro- found agitation.
Mr. I , one of my brother officers, hand- ed him a chair and after a moment's hesitetion he inquired if I had heard of the tragedies at ‘Montreal. I replied that f had. | ‘Have you no suspicion of the principal in | that feariul drama?
‘The governess, of course,’
‘Yes, but have you no suspicion of who that governess is ?”
‘Certainly not.’
‘Would you like me to point her out to you?’
| Most assuredly I would.’
“And would you arrest her if I did ?”
‘Certainly.’
‘Then, sir, your task is easy. The woman who is setting your city wild at present, the fascinating Lucille Dutton, is the person.’

‘Not I.’ [speak advisedly. I know the woman, I am a resident of Montreal, and have known her for years,’
