A DETECTIVE'S EXPERIENCE. A WOMAN'S CONIESSION 'A few day's ago,' said Mr. F---, intelligence reached us that a Milan -aul:er had absconded with an ins moutse amount of money. It was be lieved he had fled to this country and taken refuge in Now Orleans. A young Italian girl was the companion of his flight. Together with a de scription of the timtan was a miniature of this girl. Sho was 'very he:mlttiful, And tiht inanimato ivory pictured a ftto so winsomo in its youth and inuo cence, so trustful, so coniliding, that. my heart ached as I looked at it. Montls went by in tho fruitless alorclt' fur tho erimitna. If hero, his ' :U1tittaiecro 'u i taF1ken, t hI isjl concealment eftettal. Ono might report 'cached the sta tiot that the body of a dro,vIed worn an had been drawn from the rh rer. She had been dead but a few hours, it was said, and was elegantly clad, j,tY young and beautiful. Why, 1 could not divine at the tile, but I felt ia strange desiro to seo this girl. I Inontioned the fact to Mr. [----", and we walked togother to the river. The body was laid out on the pier, and the lovely, upturned faee was magnetic in its bauttty. A wealth of black wet huir fell back frot the broad, low forehead, cxpuosing a face rounded and full in its rresh npring time beauty. 'I'Te long lashes droop ed darkly over the pale undorlids, and the chiseled lips had not lost their deligate curve and crimson stain. Th soft, ipilky skin showed beneath it the olive tint it had worn in lire.

She must have feen un,urpassingly lovely when life was instinct in tito framso nsow so chill. TPhe warms nun of her native land ciould( no)t htave been msore lustriouts thantt hert cycs wvere then. I felt thast I had seens her before. T1he conviction growv up ont mse as my eyes bsecame rivited ont bior features, Th'Io fuce haunted me. For an htour miy momttory waRH at fnult, biut it camoe at last. Like a flash, re ~cllection returned. Shte was the original of the picture. E~agerly I bent forward aund tracedi ag'ains and again eacht ouLlinoe of I'aco and figure. TIhere could bo no mtis t ake--the lineamients were Liha same. On examining tihe body it was dis covered that she6 hiad been murdered. A deep penetrating woutnd int her side, mtade with a small Spantisha dagger, w licha yet filled thte cavity, disclosed the meitasof liar death. This kunifus bore the liitiatls E. F. They did niot tstantd for bor name nor tisat of liar bettrayor. It was a costly weapon, for mi the handle was a brilliant of value. Itook the knife to a joweoler, and ask ed him to examine it once, lie took it antd examined it closely. Tlhen front his desk lie broughtt a jewel set in gold, en which was a lettering pre cisely simtilar. 'Whore did yougot this?' I asked. 'From a customer of mine; a ladly.' 'Yes,' 'Whore is she to be found ?' l[o showed me a direction. It was lhsat of a lady of fashion, a Cuban, vis ihirg itn the city. I went to her at once. Otn mention. ing my name site showed evident signs o f inea smess, and motioning me to a privto roim, begged with white lips andlt a faltering utterance, the nature of tmy errand. - [ detailed the circumstance briefly. I told her of the criminal, the flight an d escape, of the deoad b)ody ; I show edI her the knife, and the ring I had obtamiued at the jeweler's. 'Madame,' I concluded, 'I must atrrest you for murder !' .)li no I no, no,' she cecaimtedl 'I wil confess all ; nt 'nine the sin, not mino the deed !' She thon told wiho the mian wvas, whe6re he lived, and the circumstances that ocoasioned the poor girl'k death. It appeared from her statement that some weeks before- the bankers had wearied of the young girl, and had altiudoned her. He~ had then paid bas.court to her, and not knowing his anteoedente and* -'udglng of him by the slWsion es held In society, ha( consepited t,9 mArry . him. Thtat the evegIng pro"v,.she bad been vralk ig with him -en .tho.pier. Standing tbere in the moonlight, they had been approached by a female clad as thi one was. ipbraidings. and angry rc proaches followed, and tho girl, in;th maciess and frenzy of her distross threatened to reveal a secret. ''h works had scarcely left her lips who the man btruck her with the dagger hold in my hand. She said he hat taken it from her a few moments, an was toying with it when the wona came up. 'When the blow was struck,' sh said, ,tho woman realed and fell int the river. I saw her as she sunk b< neath tho water, and hor whito fac upturneil in agony yet haunts me wit its horror. I screamed and fled. I was the most terrible sight I over wit The woman told her story truthfu ly I could not doubt. But, as I sur lo) ed, the titan was gone.

"Ashamod and distressed, the boy hung his head. His cheeks seemed bursting with the hot blood, and his lips quivered. "Well," lie muttered, his whole frame shaking, "there's no use of my trying to do better ; everybody hates and despises me ; nobody cares about ni."
