Chnrles P Lebon Instructor of French who by the way Is a littera teur of somo little note nnd myself The conversation after various fluctu ations had assumed a story telling drift M Blouet had Just related an amusing nuecdote of his Boston so journ nnd we were silently pulling In thnt ngreeable languor thnt nrlses from a good weed nnd a good story On drawing his cardense from his pocket M Lebon brought forth a small bright object thnt glistened a second In the lamplight ns It fell to the floor Ho stooped for It with rather undue hnste with so much hnste In fact thnt he called ouruttentlon to n movement that otherwise would have passed un noticed Whnt Is It Inquired M Blouet Without a word Lebon handed him the object be had dropped but eyed him carefully as It was examined A key icmnrkeil M Blouet a key and evidently of gold And be passed It to me I held In my hand n Key of perhaps nn Inch In length nud half ns wide Theie was nothing particularly re markable about it unless It were the material of which It was composed that nppeared to be gold Suddenly my eye caught sight of n date nud nn Inscription upon the ring of the key ler Juln 1S4S Memento morl A curious key I suggested ns I re turned It to M Lebon Tell us about It The one nddressed puffed nsslduously for n moment or two ns he twirled the mysterious key between his forefinger nud thumb but he made no reply Come come said M Blouet ns ho leaned forward with interest there must be something to toll about a key like that Why not let us have It You are right gentlemen There Is a curious story concerning this key and since you desire It I will tell It to you for truly gentlemen without exaggera tion this little bit of metal that I hold In my hand has one of the most re markable of histories Tell it Tell ltl we both exclaimed In a breath Fresh cigarettes were lighted and still holding the key In his hand as if to bear witness to what he said M Lebon began his story It was In 1S71 just after the surren der of Paris The second empire had fallen M Thiers and his party held the government Evidences of the ter rible commune were on every band still the city was beginning to look like tho habitation of a civilized people One morning Lo Journal des Debats announced the death at Versailles of a Russian lady who for mora than 20 years had kept nil the gossips of tho Paris salons busy concerning a mystery that seemed to surround her For rea sons that I shall presently explain she became known as La Dame a la Clef Now a nickname In Paris means a great deal more thnn It does here When one Is nlcknnmed there one car ries that name to the grave The notice In Le Journal des Debats mentioned La Dame a la Clef est morte It did not give her own namo That would have signitled nothing The paper concluded by saying that she died nged 45 In complete solitude It seems that her husband who was much older than she had visited her regular ly every six months during the past ten years nnd then had disappeared no one knew where- AH was mysterious about this Lady of the Key One day camo to her the news of her husbands death She survived him but a short time nnd It was whispered that sho had allowed herself to die from hunger That was nil the notice of her death had to say about tho matter Tho mystery still remained unexplained nnd the Interest concerning her grew less nnd less and gradually died away altogether M Lebon paused to relight his ciga rette which he had allowed to go out After doing this he settled back In his chair puffed once or twice but did not seem at all Inclined to coutlnuo the story Well I ejaculated go on That Is no story Why you havent even said what the mystery was or why she was called La Dame a la Clef Ah yes he replied pensively quite right I had forgotten Gentle men I havo not said that she was beautiful yet such was the case Her face was ouo of tho loveliest that I have eter seeu her figure was perfect aud Well interrupted M Blouet some whnt Impatiently Geutlemen I will not bore you continued M Lebon 6mlling Simply imagine her beautiful In face and form then gentlemen around her neck -which was of the purest mold was riveted a golden chain to which was attached this key And gentlemen from the 1st of June ISIS to the day of her death the chain uovcr left her neck nor the key lie paused again and once more scorned disinclined to go on Well said M Blouet we have the mystery now for the solving of It Jentlemen continued M Lebon smiling sagely ns he tipped oft tho ashes of his cigarette I have told you nil that anybody but myself knows Is that not enough You now know whnt nil Parl3 knew Are you not satis fied nud ho laughed quietly to him self Wo smoked for a few moments In silence both M Blouet and myself sur mising that the best way to hear the rest of the story was to lenve the nnr rator completely to himself In a mo ment the latter began ngnln penklng rapidly nnd In short sentences In 1S4S her husband owned n country house near Passy Sho wns then young nnd gay No chain or key adorned her neck then One dny sho wns surpilscd by her lord shutting somebody Iu the wnrdrobe A servnnt hnd bctrnyed her Tho Muscovite Othello turned the key twice In the wardrobe took It out then told his wife to follow him A traveling brizskn stood n few paces from the villa More lend thnu alive the un happy woman obeyed When tho hus band had placed her In the carriage he gave an order In n low voice to the coachmnn Keep this key he said to his wife I have forgotten something nnd will return then went back to the house Ho returned according to his prom ise but ns the enrriuge descended the hill the poor woman saw flames Issu ing from the windows of tho villa She fainted Three days sho remained un conscious pn regaining her senses sho perceived that a gold chain was riveted around her neck to which was attach ed a goldeu key the exact counterpart of the original bearing nn inscription Sho wished to kill herself but her bus band poluted to the Inscription nnd ndded thnt if she would save her fam ily from dishonor she must over ob serve It She was therefore condemned to live Her strange necklace excited much curiosity in Paris At Inst her tyrant ullowed her to retire to a quiet rctrent on the express stipulation thnt sho would not attempt to destroy her self during his lifetime Ills death re leased her from this condition Somo three weeks later I was calling on my friend Lebon who wished to show me some old manuscripts that be had been collecting He produced a large box of rosewood which be casu ally remarked contained his family pa pers To my astonishment he drew from his pocket the mysterious key and inserted It In the lock which yielded readily to his pressure and the lid flew back Why I exclaimed in wonder that Is the key The key he Interrogated Then bo laughed long and loud And you swal lowed all that he said when he could control his merriment Certainly I replied grimly By the way though it wouldnt make a bad story would it I think I will work It up elaborate it a little you know- I left the bouse feeling deeply morti fied to think I had been so effectually sold A desire for revenge took pos session of me and I determined to steal a march on him I have done so Cri terion Dont Scold Of all forms of human effort nnd execution scolding Is the most useless When a parrot a chipmunk a squirrel or bluejay scolds he Is ludicrous For people to scold Is ludicrous too but with a difference and assuredly the difference Is on the unfavorable side It never did and never will do any one nny good It has done much barm Besides scolding grows to be a habit We have ail suffered because of the shortcomings of some one else re ceiving tremendous tirades over what we had no hand In because wo hap pened to be present when the scolding habit was yielded to by one of Its vic tims Scolding Is easy It takes neither power of brain nor heart to scold It does not even make any great draft upon the physical being Any fishwife alive can be a grand success nt scold ing Why compete with her Scolding should bo compelled to per ish from the earth The tongue the voice tho eye the face all should be trained not to scold yes and the pen for of all things a scolding pen Is the worst And the habit once formed with the pen Is apt uever to be entirely shnken off Ada C Sweet In Womans

nnd forcing In the cork No Well its very curious I saw It done when I wna en the Hero during Its Pnciflc cruise hiking deep soundings An officer on board offered to wager that If a bottle of champagne was let down to a certain depth It would come up tightly corked but full of salt water Somebody took him up and the experiment was at onco tried A quart bottle of chnmpngno was se cured from the wardroom and attached to the cannoti ball weight used on thu deep sounding apparatus They let It down how far I dont remember but It was several thousand feet and when they began to hoist there was naturally a great deal of curiosity All hands clustered about the rail nnd when the bottle appeared It was ea gerly cxnnilnod The cork wns firmly In place although It looked as It It had been badly crushed or jammed and mi raculous as It may seem the stuff Inside was undeniably sea water Erybody could testify that the bottle went down full of champagne and how the trans formation wns effected wns n first clnn mystery to most of those present Yet the explanation was very simplo When the bottle reached a certain depth tho pressure drove the cork right down Into the body of it Tho champagne then escaped water under compression took Its place and In returning to the surfaco the cork which was Uoating in the ueck was pushed up Into its former position Nevertheless It was a very surplslng thing to witness They tried the same experiment with a bottle of beer and when hauled back to the surface Its cork was found sticking tightly in the neck but turned bottom side up It hnd evidently whirled arouud while the beer wns going out nud the sea water was going in and happened to bo reversed when the upward pressure drew it back Into position The performance wns of no special scientific vnlue but It gave us all a vivid realization of the tremendous weight of water in those submarine depths After such an object lesson It Is easy to under stand why n diver can go only a limited
