THE KEYJFTEBALDO Curious Messenger of Death In vented by an Italian. TRAGIC LEGEND OF VENICE. Unique Weapon With Which the Man of Mystery and Murder Sought to Slay Hit Way to the Hand of the Woman He Loved. Tlio chronicles of Venice tell Hint In tho earlier part of tlio xevuiitcentli cen tury n certain ntrniiKcr, n man of tlnrk turn nlnlMer iiNpect, nrrlveil In the city. Ills nnmo wns Tclml'lo. Ho appears to linvo hern n mnn of unruly pnsslons, of great Intcllcctunl power, hut ono whoso tnlcnts found their chief outlet In crime. One dny he observed n beautiful girl leaving church, nltcndcd In n iniinnrr which Allowed nlio hcloiigi-d to n fnmlly of high degree. Hhe wtm. In fact, tho daughter of nn nnclcnt mid noble house. lie fell violently In love with Her, Though fur removed from hltn In station, his blind pnsMlou took no count of this fact, and he determined to rik for her hand. Thcro proved to he, however, a more lnsupcrnblu obstacle to his suit. The girl was nlrendy betrothed to nnother. n young nobleman of almost oti:il rani; nud fortune. Tho knowledge did not deter Tetmtdo, who boldly present cd himself beforo tho girl's parents In tho capacity of n suitor for her hand. As might have been e.xpicteil, he met with n curt and unceremonious rebuff. Tho repulse rankled In his mind, Kn. raged beyond menstue, he shut hlmxclf up In his own house nud there secretly studied n means of revenge. Pro foundly skilled In the meehiiulenl nrls, ho allowed himself tin rest until ho hud Invented n most formidable nud death denting weapon. This was n largo key, tho handle of which wns so construct od that It could bu turned at will. When It wns thus turned n secret spring wns disclosed, which, on being pressed, launched from the key head n line needle- or lancet. Tho Intlcr wns of such delicate construction that It penetrated tho body of tho victim nud burled Itself deep In tho llesh without leaving nny external trace. Tlio inarringu or tlio helrolhcd con plo was fixed to taku place In tlio prln clpnl church In Venice on a ecrlaln tiny. Itnforu the ceremony Tebnhln, cunningly disguised, stntloned himself nt the church tloor tinned with his din holloa I weapon. As the bridegroom wns about to enter tho building the concealed watcher pressed tlio spring and sent the deadly steel lancet Into the breast of Ids victim. The young nobleman hud no suspicion of Injury nt the moment. In tho midst of tho ceremony, however, ho was seized with n sharp spasm of pain and sank fainting on the steps of tho tiltnr. He wns hurriedly conveyed to his homo, where the leading Venice physicians were summoned to nlleiid til in. In spile of their unremitting efforts he ' snnk nud died, nor were they nhltt to discover the nature of tho mysterious nud fatal seizure. With the removal of Ids rival, To bnldo once morn presented himself be foro (ho girl's parents and renewed his request for her hand.' Their refusal to listen to him sealed their doom, In what manner hn nccomplWhed It Is not known, but within n few days both had been dono to death In the same sudden nnd mysterious fashion. Tho exulted rank of the victims e re nted n profound sensation, and when, on examination of the bodies, n tine strel Instrument was found In tho flesh terror became universal. Tho clt (tens feared for their liven. The ut most vigilance wns exercised on the part of tho authorities, hut as yet no suspicion fell upon Tehaldo, The bereaved girl retired to n con vent, where she passed the llrst mouths of mourning In sorrowful seclusion, Tobnldo, however, sought her otit In her retreat and begged to speak to her through the grating. Ills dark, evil face had always been displeasing to her, but since the death of her betrothed nud parents It had be come repulsive. When, therefore. In tho coursu of the Interview he pressed her to Hy with him ho met with an In stunt and Indignant refusal. Her mum stung hltn to the iiulek. llesldo him self with rage, he brought Ids deadly weapon oin-o more Into play and sue corded In wounding tho girl through the grating, the idweurlty of the place preventing his action from being oh served. On her return to her room tho girl felt n sharp tmlu In her breast, lCxiiinl nation of the spot showed that It wns dotted with a single drop of blood, riiyslclans were hastily tmiumoned. Taught by past experience, they wast ed no time In vain conjecture, but cut Into the llosh nud extracted the slen der steel, thus saving tho girl's life. Tho dnstnrdly nttempt occasioned a public outcry. The visit of Tehaldo to tho convent became known nud caused susplcloit to (urn upou hltn. Tho cm Issnrles of the law descended suddenly upon him, Ids house wns searched, and mere uie nnomiuniuo invention wns discovered. Swift Justice followed. nnd ho ended his days upon tho scaf fold.

The "concierge" Is considered to !o the bnne of tho Parisian Hat dweller's existence. Ills functions are supposed to be the following: The first nnd most Important Is to collect tho rent on quarter tiny; after that he must see that the tenants do not surreptitiously remove. The latter precaution seems to be somewhat un necessary, as rents In Paris are nlwoys paid In ndvance. He should also bring up your letters nt lenst twice n dny, but ns the con clcrgo Is generally a stout, middle nged woman who has a decided objection to climbing stairs the Intter regulation re mains somewhat of a dead letter. In Paris the front door of most houses Is generally closed nt 10 o'clock After that time admittance enn only he obtained hy ringing n bell. The con cierge Is obliged to open the door, and she docs this, as soon ns she Is nwnke. hy pulling a rope which hangs by her bedside. If she Is n sound sleeper nnd you nre accustomed to come homo Into nt night, the best thing to do Is to look for nn other tint, ns the concierge will put you down ns n "bnd tenant" nnd make things ns unple.tsnnt for yon ns possi ble. If you never stop out Into nt night, receive very few friends nnd fee her heavily nt Christinas, the concierge will consider you ns n "good tenant" until you give notice to leave, when her Inlerest In you suddenly vanishes. As there Is nothing more to be ex pected from you nnd the Incoming ten ant Is obliged to give n substantial tip, cnlled n "denier n DIeu," she Is mix- Ions to "speed the pnrtlng guest" ns much ns possible. Tho concierge docs sometimes mnke n llnal effort to extract something more from you by attempting to mnko you pny n franc fur every nail knocked In the walls of your Mat, hut this has been decided to bo Illegal nifil may bo safely resisted. Hut the Parisian concierge Is really unpopular because she represents a landlord. London Mall, A DELAYED LETTER. And What Happened When the Missive Was Finally Recovered. J ho vngnrles of the postal service nro sometimes beyond the understand lug of the layman. In March of Inst year a man In New York received a letter from u friend In I'tiglntnl, writ ten when on the point of sailing for Philadelphia, urgently requesting him to letiirn a loan of $10. The mnn who wroto the letter needed funds and would the debtor kindly send tho money to him, care of the steamship lino ul Plillndelphln7 The man In New York saw that his friend would reach Philadelphia within a day or two, so ho pr ptly clapped a ten dollar hill In an envelope nnd addressed nud mailed It. A week later he was apprised by mall that the money had not nrrlved. Itolh men made n diligent search for tho missing letter. Hut It could not bo found, Ko tho debtor gave his friend a euecK nun forgot about his fit), sen ting down Its loss to the dishonesty of somo intermediary who had handled the envelope. Imagine his surprise when ono day eight months later ho received his let ler from the dead letter olllco In Wash Ington. It w.tf covered with post marks and much battered, for It had traveled ninny thousands of miles, hack to l.'ugland, around tho United Kingdom and to America again, but the money wns safe Inside.
