| ** Lhis proves conclusively to my mind,” said Garriek, * that Sic Georga was net killed by an ordivary robber, but by some acquaintance-—perhaps by one he believed to be his friend—and this man feared to take any articles which might subsequently be re- | cognized ; let us therefore look for the mur- ‘derer among-the party assenbied at the chateau.”

The officora of jastice invited the actor to accompany them to the nobleman's residence, and assist them in unravelling the mystery. Garrick was an adept in the art of physoz- nomy, having beew «li hie life in the sabis of studying the human fuce, and on reaching the place and taking @ keen survey of tho different parties there assembled, he pointed out the Chevalier Gueten to the offivers, and secretly told them he believed tim to be the murderer.

The Italian was at onoe arrested and holdy accused of the murder. He tarned deadiy pale at first and seemed about to faint—but presently recovered his nerve, and demanded proof of the heinous crime—declaring with u well-feigned buret of grief, that Sw George Lewis was his best friend. He was told chat, | tt innocent, it was only necessary for him, to | prove where he was during the interval be- tween ihe departure of the knight from tho chateau and the nding of his body ; bat this he could not do, he said, beeaase he had gone cat alone that afternoon, and hud aot retura- ed till a late hour.

‘1 do not choose to tell,” he rephied. «fut that is neither here or there,"” he pursued ; ** you have made the charge, and it is your business to prove it tras or release me."’ ** We will endeavour to do that in the cit then,”’ wae rejoined ; and in spite of the pro- testations of the accused and hie friend, he was taken back to Paris, a close prisoner.

On the way, Garrick told the officer that he more than ever believed the Italian to be the murderer, and that if he would give them till to-morrow to arrange a plan he had in view, and then follow his directions be doubt- ed not he would be able to entrap the priscaer into a full confession of the fact. His scheme was to personate his dead friend, to make up his own facile countenance into the exact likeness of the knight's, put on his dress, as- sume his voice, and appear before the Italian in the apartments of Sir George.

The plan was carried owt, as no one but the remarkable actor could do it. Assisted by a very fine painting of Sir George, Garrick succeeded in so perfectly counterteiting the deceased knight, that almost any one might been deeeived ; and at the appointed tine the Chevalier Gaetan was conveyed to the palatial residence of the Englishman, and informed on the way that the latter was not dead, bus had sufficiently recovered to appear to accase him of an attempt at murder. The Italian trembled as he crossed the threshold of the mansion; and when he beheld, as he be- lieved, the veritable knight himself, hia kwees tairly smote together.

**Wretch ' villain ' murderer!" thundered the voice of the so: disant Sir George Lewis ; ‘dare you deny your crime before me? down and beg for mercy, as you hope for life and forgiveness !'’

The wretched man instantly fell upon his knees and confessed all, even stating where he had concealed the money, which he of- fered to restore and add ail bie ill-gotten gains to it. His horror on finding he had ‘been deceived into signing his own death | warrant, so to Speak, can be better imagined than described. His subsequent confession /tevealed the plot we have described. Tho

| adventuress,who acted under his iastructions,

| the time he received it, efected her escape ; | but the Chevalier Gacton remained to be tried, sentenced and executed. Garrick re- , tarned to England, satisfied with the part be | had played in brioging the murderer of his friend to justice. ——- ~~.
