Each bad his say; and every tale, however rough ly told, had more or less of intorest, because it was re! and human, so that we quite for got our weariness and cold for a little time Tuen, since this had answered so well, the sprightly tailor proposed that one of the party should tell us a regular story, of his own life if he chose, but not only of his present cireum- stances, but of what had led to them—which was of an idea we all received quite raptur- ously, expecting the tailor himself to begin.

They thought at first that I was murdered too, lying so stiff and cold in that death cham- ber. I answered nothing to their questions, either in the house or in the prison. I knew nothing, nor could I have told them had I known, until Joseph came. Itseemed to me then quite natural that he ehould be with me— nothing praiseworthy, nothing.

They thought it very strange, they said, that since there was so much time before him between my mistress’ departure and return, that he had not mur- dered me instead. He hgd carried off all the jewels—thoee iu the dra as well as those which my poor mistress had worn that very evening;—but from the moment he had drcp- ped into the courtyard, the police could fiud notrace of him. A mere suspision fell upon the brother of the gate porter; but it was co Vague that he was not put upon his trial.

At all events, I attracted the wretch, who kept close behind me. He wre an ebominable person, with a foreign appearance—which I had reason enough for disliking—and eyes that looked different ways, but neither of them nice ways, so that I was glad enough to get in sight of the policemen about the marble arch.
