After this' the man must have gone stealthily and unnoticed back to his room, for in the morning one of the servants of the hotel wont into the place as usual in order to swo'op it, and on opening the door the first object that attracted his attention was a large travelling trunk lying in the middle of thefloor; As it, was unhinged and unlocked the servant raised jts covor, and started back half dazed with terror, as he saw inside i t tlie apparently lifeless body of the Englishman clothed in correct evening dress. The servant ran down to the landlord in great terror, and the police and a doctor was sent for.: Tl}e*body was still 'warm, and hear it were a phial which had contained chloroform and a letter inEn# iish, Thanks to tho skill of tho doctor who was called in, the stranger was restored to lifp, but hn only tipbraided bis 'resurrectionists'for bringing him baokto awprldfrprnwhicjihe longed to escape, It appears that there was a..woman in it. The stranger had been thrown over by some 'light of love- for whom he had pined, as the letter was worded in the following terms:—!
