The story of the trial, as told In a French newspaper, ls dramatic. Ducralx dealt In ship's stores and waa supposed to be in good circum stances. In his defense he swore that his wife assaulted him with a knife, nial he showed the unhealed wound ou his left arm, made by the weapon when he endeavored to ward off what might have otherwise been a deadly blow. At this juncture In the trial a note was handed to the defendant's counsel With permission of the court, be read the note, and asked to be ex cused for a minute or two. Ile fol lowed to the corridor the man who had banded him the note and speedily re lumed. At his request the woman was recalled and questioned by bim as follows: "Where were you born, madame?" "In Paris, I believe." "Were you ever in Poitou?" "Never!" "Were you ever in Brittany?" "Never!" "Did you ever know or see a man named Jacques Saupler?" "I never did!" "Were you never married to a man of that name?" "Never!" "You swear that you were never mar ried to one Jacques Saupler and never saw or knew him?" "I do so swear." Counsel turned and, glancing round the audience that filled the courtroom, he cried: "Jacques Saupler!" Amid deep silence and with all eyes, fixed upon him, a man was seen mov ing forward from the outskirts of the crowd. He was tail, dark, clean shaven, with a sloping forehead and a recPiHrig chin. "This way, Jacques Saupler!" coun sel said, and the stranger moved slow ly forward, with his eyes fixed upon the woman. Within three or four feet of her he stood and looked at her with a steady, unflinching gaze. She crouch ed and turned away her bead. Then counsel questioned her. "Do you know this man?" "Yes, yes; I do." "Is this Jacques Saupler?" "Ob, yes, I believe so." "Is he your lawful husband?" "Yes, yes! Oh, let me go!" "What has become of your para mour, Lacruse?" "He is in prison for life-dead to me, dead!" "What has this to do witL the c?se:". the court asked. "This woman ls a criminal," answer ed the counsel, "and I ask you to de tain her on a charge of a double mur der, committed 25 years ago." The complaint against Ducralx wes dismissed, and the woman was handed over to the police. The narrative which follows Ja gathered from a report of the proceedings already mentioned. Marie Rozan was th$? associate of a thief, sometimes called Crascras, but whose real name was Lacruse. Early in May, 1873, Lacruse and one Pascot planned a robbery at Lemans, province of Maine, where Pascot had once been employed as a coachman. Marie ac companied them. Pascot was arrested and Lacruse fled and abandoned Marie, to her fate. She managed to escape from the neighborhood and wandered on, suffering from want and exposure, v.ntil she reached Morin Ix in Brittany. She continued on up one of the valleys until she came upo' a comfortable homestead, where lived Henri Saupler with his wife and only son. M. Saupler owned some 20 acres of land adjoining his home and was in good circum stances, being considered, In fact, the wealthy man In the district. The son, Jacques, was not particularly bright and had earned a bad reputation In the neighborhood, having twice stolen money from his parents and gone off with lt He was never fond of work, the truth of the matter being that be bnd been spoiled In the bringing np. Just before dusk on the evening of May 80,1873, Saupler sat In the garden smoking. Looking up, he saw a miser ably dad woman, standing with her hand on the gate and her eyes directed toward him. "Wife," said Saupler, calling to Mme. j Saupler, who was In the house, "see j what this poor woman wants." Apparently encouraged by the kindly \ tones of tho old man, Marie-for it was she-opened the wicket and entered the ? garden. To husband and wife she told ' her, story, saying that her up.me was Marie Boran, and telling how her fa- ! ther, o fisherman, was drowned, and " how her brother was in the navy a great why off, and how she had no . friends pr relative?; and?, being unable to get work, wes penniless auu sluic ing. Mint?. Saupier took the young tramp in, gave lier the menus to wash her self, provided her with decent clothes and treated her with the utmost kind ness. The wretched outcast was soon transformed Into a rosy faced, hand some, cheerful young woman. She won her way into the hearts of the old people by her handiness and diligence, and lt was soon understood that she . was to stay and receive wages as a domestic. Jacques began before long to cast his eyes on Marie, and, as she was well behaved and Industrious, his parents offered no objections. In Sep tember of the same year, Jacques and Marie were married and continued to live at the homestead. Within a mouth of the wedding, Ma rie showed ber husband a letter, which she said was from her brother, an nouncing his arrival at Cherbourg. "Ob, how I should like to see him!" she exclaimed. "It ls years since I last saw him." "Ask him to pay us a visit," the hus band said, and so in a short time a dark skinned, fairly good looking yoting man arrived, whom Marie Intro duced as her brother, Louis Rozan. Marie embraced him affectionately, and for a week or more they were con stantly together, Mme. Saupler reliev ing her daughter-in-law from much of the household work to enable her to stroll around with her brother. At the end of tea days Louis loft, saying that he must return to his ship. On Dee. 1 Marie received a letter from him, say ing that his ship was ordered on a long cruise and that be intended to visit her once more before he sailed. On Dec. 15, Jacques Informed his wife that a man in sailor garb bad met him and told bim that Louis had met with an accident and was detained at Morlalx and wanted his sister to come and nurse him. Marie said that she was not well enough to undertake the task, and urged her husband to go and do what ho could to help her brother. Ko readily consented and started for the train at Morlalx the same evening. The next morning. Dec. 10, some la borers passing the Saupier homestead were surprised to find the place closed j and no one about, as usual. Looking I around, they saw the hand of a woman waving at an open window. The men eutered the garden and found the front door open. They went in and heard groans proceeding from a room up stairs. Ascending, they entered the apartment from which the groans pro ceeded and found Marie lying on a bed close to the window. She was gagged, and her feet and left arm were bound .to the bed. The right arm she had ap parently got partially at liberty. Tho men released her, and she exclaimed: "They've murdered M. Saupier and his wife!" Then she went off in a faint. The laborers found In an adjoining room Saupler and his wife lying on the bed, ruthlessly hacked to pieces, the ax which had done the foul deed lying on the floor. While they were gazing on the dreadful scene Marie entered and In a frenzied manner asked: "Have they murdered my brother too?" . Marie accompanied the men while they searched around. The strong box In which the old man kept a consider able sum of money was open, the key being lu the lock. Everything of value was gone. While the search was going on a knocking was heard, proceeding, as it was found, from the stable. "Oh, that must be my brother!" Ma rie said. "The murderers must have locked him in the stable." The stable wa& found locked, but Ma rie discovered the key lying on ibe ground a few feet away. The door was opened, and a young man appear ed, whom Marie embraced with mud effusion, saying: "Oh, my dear brother, I was afraid they had killed you too!" "I heard you scream," he said, "and ran up stairs. I was sleeping on thc couch in the kitchen, you know. Wher I reached your room, I saw two mer gagging you, and one of them with s pistol in his hand seized me, forced mc down stairs and into the stable am! locked me Ia." "Yes," Marie said, "I was awakened by a noise In the bedroom occupied bj M. Sanpicr and his wife, and as I wa: in the act of getting up to see whai was the matter two men entered am seized, gagged and-bound me. I recog nlzed one of the men as my husbanc by bis voice. I beard him say: " i've settled the old folks, and that'i all I care for.' " i'm sure lt was Jacques,' Louli addec, 'for in the struggle I tore of the tail of his coat, and here lt ls.' " The story told by Jacques Saupler ol the trial of Marie presented a ver: different condition of things. Jacquei swore that when he got about half wa: to Morlalx, which took him some time as thc night was stormy and the road were bad, he found that he had los through a hole in his pocket all tb money he started with, except a fev sous. This fact and the increasing se verity of thc storm induced him t turn back, and it must have been 1 o'clock when he reached the home stead. To his surprise, he found th door open and a light In the kitchen As he stood wondering, he saw Lou! and Marie coming down the stairs an? he slipped into the pantry that openei Into the kitchen, which they entered Louis carried Mr. Snupier's japanner money box and a leathern bag in whicl Jacques knew bis father kept gold o large denominations. Louis said: "The job's done, and we must clea out." They talked together In a low tom and Marie seemed considerably alaru ed. Louis said: "Don't you see that when Jacque finds out that your brother isn't ther he'll start back home, and there is n chance such a night ad this of au one's having identified him, as all th inns In Morlalx will be closed long bi fore he gets there?" "Well," said Marie, "but he will sa: 'Where is my wife? She must eittu have been murdered, too, or have ha a hand In this?' " "My God! I never thought of that, Louis said. "Anyhow, we must get o at once and be as far away as possibl by daylight'' Louis was in the act of turning h head, when Jacques, to prevent his b lng discovered, closed the pantry doo leaving only the space of an inch. Tl door creaked. Louis started, drew* pistol and said In a frightened whl Der: j "What was that?" "It came from the pantry." Marie I eaiil. "Then here goos for lt, whatever lt may be." said Louis as he raised his pistol. "For the good Lord's sake, don't fire," Jacques eried. coming from his biding place. It was the turn of Louis and Marie to be astonished, but both soon recov ered their composure, for they had been together in ns bad a fix before and more than once. "Look here," Louis muttered savage ly, "we want no spies upon us. Say your prayers, for in a minute you'll bo a dead man." "Walt and hear me," said Jacques. Then he explained the cause of his un expected return. "Now we have you," Louis said. "You, Jacques Saupler, have murdered your father and mother and robbed them. You pretended you were golug to Morlalx to see me, because a mes senger bad brought you word I was 111. That messenger was your accomplice." "My accomplice?" "That's .it exactly-your accomplice In this double murder. He has escaped. We have got you. After pretending to start for Morlalx, you returned after we-Marie and I-were fast asleep. While you murdered the old man and woman with an ax your accomplice gagged and bouud Marie. Then when I was aroused and came up tho stairs your accomplice met me with a pistol and drove me Into the stable, and you locked me in, removing the key. Then you were about to decamp with the money when I came upon you and shot you-thus!" He raised the pistol. Jacques fell on bis knees and entreated Louis to spare him. "On one condition," said Louis. "Clear out, decamp, put yourself out of the way forever; never return to this place, leave France. Go straight to Brest and find one Sauteur, st the Ked Gantlet, on the quay, near the custom house. Say i am the friend of Crascas, who desires you to put me across.' He Will understand." Louis opened the leather bag and took out several goldpleces and banded them to Jacques. "Here," he said, "this will pay your fare. Never set foot In France again, for if you do you will go to the guillo tine. Remember, you twice robbed your father before and escaped. This time you won't escape, unless you do as I say." Jacques was thunderstruck. As al ready said, he was not over bright, and to him the situation, as described by Louis, was overwhelming. He had robbed his father before. It was well known not only to people around, but to the police also. That would go far to condemn him. Still he hesitated. "See," said Louis, "here is a piece of your coat which I tore off when I was struggling with you." Louis exhibited the rag; this settled the ease. Louis took the money and departed. He found his way to Brest, discovered the man he wanted and was landed at Jersey. Thence he was trans i ferred to a town on the south coast of England. Later he came to this coun ! try and then went to Hongkong, where he managed to make money. Thence he tailed to England and afterward made a journey to Sonth Africa, where he increased his fortune. Next be vis ited India, and on his way by the Suez canal back to England, landed at Mar seilles. It was merely a matter of curi osity that led him into the courtroom, where he recognized in the person of Mme- Ducralx his wife Marie. Tho statement as made by Jacques Saupier was corroborated in every par ticular by Louis Lacruse, released from prison to testify, who gave a full account of the murder of Saupier and his wife just as it happened. As for the messenger, he was a confederate of Louis who used him to get Jacques out of the way. Louis locked himself in the stable and threw the key through a boie in the door. The money was hidden away, and after the funer al of the old people and the failure of the police to trace Jacques, Mane sold alt she could sell, and she and Louis departed, not forgetting to take the money with them. Their future career is not necessary to tho sequel. As the judge on the trial of Marie said, the plot io murder the old mau and bis wife was at once clumsy and shallow, and any ordinary detective ought to have been able to see through lt.

Animal? and Birds That Ff slit. You would hardly believe that moles, clumsy and almost blind, become per fect demons when they quarrel. No one knows what they quarrel about, but if they once start fighting, one has to die. They will keep on in the presence of any number of specta tors, banging on to one another like bulldogs, and burying their enormous ly strong jaws and teeth In one anoth er's flesh. Hedgehogs, another type of the quiet, inoffensive looking animal, not only fight, but always to tho death, and when one is killed the other generally devours him. Hares, on the other hand, are prover bially the most timid of creatures; yet they can fight. A fight between two hares ls a ludicrous sight, as th ?y skip and jump over one another. But a blow from the hind legs of a hare ls no joke to his opponent. Among birds, robins are the most pugnacious. More than one case could be quoted of two robins so frantically set on killing one another as to have allowed themselves to be picked up in the hands of a looker on and there have laid with beak and claws deeply buried In one another's plumage.

Ile may not cease the use of tobacco .'inmediately, but within a week bo will begin to abhor tobacco If the mixture is given to him faithfully every morning." And so the young wife sent ber littlo $2 on and got a flagon of tho tobacco cure. "Pretty bum coffee this morning," be remarked dryly tho first time she drop ped the half teaspoonful of the mixturo Into his cup. "It's the same as we've been using right along," she replied craftily. Now, lo and behold, he was a pretty smooth proposition himself, and he had, unbeknownst to her, seen tho jmckage holding the flagon of agin to bacco mixture when lt was delivered. So after dinner that evening he pro duced a lurgc, bulky package of fine cut from his pocket nud took there from a plenteous chew of tobacco. It was the first chew ho had ever taken in her presence, and she marveled greatly thereat, but she determined to persist with tho "treatment." "Dead rank chicory again this morn ing, isn't lt?" he Inquired nt breakfast the next morning. "I'm sure lt tastes the same to me," she replied. That evening after dinner he produc ed a short, black clny pipe and a pack age of a new kind of tobacco that was as black as the groundwork of a Jolly Roger. "Thought I'd bring this old dudeeu up from the otllce," be explained cheer ily. "It's as sweet as a nut." Whereupon he filled the house with the aroma of punk that was stroug enougli to break rock. "This grocery person who gets all of my wages ls certainly doing us on the coffee game," he remarked when he tasted his cup the next morning. "Really," she said, gazing innocently at the 10 cent bunch of asters In the middle of the table, "I can't detect nuy difference." "And yet there are low foreheads who don't believe that all women aren't actresses," said he to himself ou the way to bis office that morning. That evening he brought home a box of auction stogies, and after he had smoked one of them after dinner all of the people In the neighboring fiats stuffed cotton In the ball door keyholes and closed the hall trausoms. "I must persist, though," thought his baffled little wife gloomily. "Coffee tastes Uko stewed gunny sacks again this morning," he remark ed at the next breakfast. She felt a bit sorry for him, but she was determined to use up that flagon of agin tobacco if she bat] to chloroform him and pour lt down bis throat. That evening, however, her resolu tion deserted her. After dinner, for the first time to her knowledge, he pulled out a package of cigarettes, lit one and began to smoke lt. She went up stairs, poured out tho remaining portion of ber $2 worth of agin tobacco and carefully hld the bot tle. "Coffee's all right this morning," said he at breakfast the next day. "Yes," she inquired absently. Whoa he hau finished his dinner that evening, be lighted ono of his usual brand of good cigars. "Men are mysterious to me," she thought, regarding bim out of the tail of her eye. "Women only think they're foxy," he thought, blowing heavy smoke rings into the swiss curtains.-Washington Post. The Ideal Physician. The attitude of the true physician has been most admirably delineated by the master hand of that fine exemplar of his profession, Dr. Osier, in an ad dress delivered to the students of Al bany Medical college. "Be careful," he said, "when you get Into practico to cultivate equally well your hearts and your heads. There Is a strong feeling abroad that we doctors are given now adays to science, that we care much more for the disease and the scientific aspects of it than for thc individual. I don't believe it, but nt any rate, wheth er there is that tendency or not, 1 would urge upon you in your practice In the future to caro more particularly for thc Individual patient than for thc special features of the disease. "X am sure nil of you must feel, even those of you who have only been a sin gle term In the professional work, that you have entered upon a profession that appeals both to the heart and to the head. Dealing as we do with poor, suffering humanity, we see the man unmasked, exposed to all the frailties and weaknesses, and you have got to keep your heart pretty soft and pretty tender not to got too great a contempt for your fellow creatures.

Trnppe 1 In n Mino With a mimt I'mc LlKhtfd. A luau with an empty sleeve told a curious story in un?- of fin? hotel lob bies. "In JSS1? I was prospecting in tho Joplin load district." lie said, "ami with two partners bad sunk a ??haft about yo feet deep on a promising claim. At the bottom of tho excavation we start ed to 'drift* in other words to drive a tunnel nt right angles. One afternoon, when the tunnel bad progressed some 12 feet, lt became necessary to put In a blast. I was below at the time and my two companions were at the top. working the windlass. I drilled a bob? lu thc format ion. which was very bard, put lu a dynamite cartridge, tamped !t well with broken rock, lit the fuse and stepped Into the bucket. At the Hist turu of the windlass the rope broke at t?ie top ami dropped down Into tim shaft. The bucket fell only a yard or so, but I plunged bead tlrst against the side and lt was perhaps a roupie of minutes before I could collect my senses. Then in a nash I realized my situa tion and Jumped back into the tunnel to extinguish the fuse, but it bad al ready burned down to the tamping and all 1 could see was a little smoke ooz ing out through the rocks. I could hear my partners yelling to me f-om above, Sut I knew there was no other rope in our camp aud the only thing I could think of was to pick out the tamping and get at tho fuse before lt reached the dynamite. For all I knew the ex plosion might take place nt any Instant, but I grabbed a drill and began to claw at the tight packed rock. In a few seconds I renlizod that it was a hope less task, so I dropped the drill and as a last resort ran back to the shaft and crouched against the far wall. "If I live to be a thousand," contin ued the story teller, "I will never for get 1213* agony while I waited for the blast to go off, knowing full weil that my chances for escape were almost too small for computation, lt seemed as if the explosion would never occur, and all the while a horrible panorama of death and mutilation was rushing through my brain. 'Now'.' 'Now!' 'Now!' I kept snying out loud, think ing each time I uttered the word that the roar would follow, but lt didn't. I could have sworn that 15 minutes elapsed and I was beginning to feel a wild hope that thc fuse had gone out when an awful thunderclap came aud I everything disappeared. "My partners bad secured a new rope and were pulling me out when I recov ered consciousness. My left arm had been crushed and I WUB peppered all over by flying rock, but I suffered most from the poisonous gases of the nitro glycerin lu the dynamite. Next day they took off my arm at the elbow and lt was six months before I got out of bed. Strange to say my hearing wasn't affected and, ns you see, I have no scars on my face. So I may consider myself very lucky on more counts than one. "By the way, there was one very strange incident connected with the af fair. As I said before, lt seemed to me that I lay there an Interminable time, waiting for the blast to go off. After ward, when I was convalescent, I men tioned the matter to one of my part ners and he looked surprised.
