Nothing whatever occurring to alarm the accu- pants of the inn, and at the appointed lumr next day the "lmots' prm'eeded to the visitor’s bedroom for the pur- pose of awakiug him as arranged. He knocked several times and called out the hour, but failing to elicit any reply, he tried the handle with a View to entering the room, but the door was locked. He again knocked violently and shouted loudly' through the key- hole, but still to no purpose. Actuated now by a vague feeling" of alarm, he summoned his mast-er, and the latter, finding;r it utterly impossible to rouse the stranger, burst open the door and entered the room. Here a, terrible sight presented itself. In the bed, the clothes half turned down. was lying the stranger, stark and dead. - He had been stabbed in the heart by thite-lmmlled, clasped knife, which still mumined in the wound. From the position of the body and the ex- u-essirm of the cmmté’nance of tho eceascd', it. was plain that he had been Smut! ten at twelve years ago a ten ’iblo and n'xyrterious murder was com- mitted at a quiet. little vnlluge m one of Ami than the t aâ€"pop mm mm Juhll Eltlim I’ll Buun (’utwr; ' , John mile. in «out in any 0:. ‘ And Sunny. fut u butwr.

Shortly hefum this time he hurricdlv .I ‘ The little they were able to discover amounted to this: A porter at the ‘statinnjdentitieul the stranger as haw- ing reached Lehmd on the ,lst of June by the .8230 train from Byfield ‘( this was u. market toWn eighteen miles dis- tznutl. He was certain of this fact. and also of the date, for this reason: His wife had come from Bylield on that day and by this train; she and the gentleman in question were the only passengers. and when he ‘ took the tickets he noticed that the latte‘r‘s was marked Bytield, and was struck by the slight coincidence of both the solitary arrivals having come from the same- plu-ce. ‘ ‘ Inquiries were at once instituted at Bytihhl. and soon the proprietor of a' hotel in that town mine forward and r cognizetl the deceased as having stayed threexluys in his house, from the 30th of May until the let of Jnno.. lie lnul announced it as his intention of remaining for it much longer period. but utter luncheon on the hist‘men- tio‘nell day. hemlletl quite unexpectedly for his hill, and took his departure shortly after two. {hit us to who the gentlemen was or where he k-mne from, the landlord could not afford the slightest clue. ’ Pending the curom:r's inquest, a large, reward was offered for the appre- hension of the murderer, and the police left no stonexuntunml in their endeavors to unruvelthe mystery.

The window was wide open. and. through this, as the door wax-1 looked on the inside, the assassin must have entered the room. Repairs were going on in another part of the premises and a ladder which had been left standing against one of the walls by the work- men had been shifted and placed close to the murdered man's window. Here it was found in the morning, and by it the murderer had undoubtedly as- ccndud and made his weape.
