Ctiurlett 1. Lebon, Instructor ot Trench,
who, by tho way, Is a Htcr.Ucur of
omo lltle note, anil myself. The con
versation, after various fluctuation,
hint assumed n Htory-teltlnir ill If t. M.
Hloui't bad JuhI telHted an amusing
anecdote ot bis Uoiton sojourn, nnd
we were silently iiulllntr In that n(?rec
nlilu lunjruor that urlses from a. kooiI
weed nnd n good story.
On diawlnB his card-caso fiom his
pocket M. I.ebon broiiiilit foith a small,
bright object that Kllstenoil a serond
In the lninpllRht nH It fell to the floor.
He stooped for It with lather undue
haste: with so much haste, In fact,
that ho filled our attention to u move
ment that otherwise would have passed
unnoticed.
"Whnt Is It?" Iniuilied M. Hlouet.
Without i woid I.c-bon handed him
the object ho had dropped, but ejeil
him raiefiilly as It was examined.
"A key." lemnrked M. Hlouet. "a
Key, und ovldelitly of trolil," and he
passed it to me.
t held In my hand u key of peibaps
an Inch In length, and half as wide.
There was nothing partlculaily re
markable about It, unlcht It weie the
material of which It was composed:
that appeared to be gold. Suddenly my
"ye caught sight of u date and an In
scription upon tho ling of the key "1
ei Juln, IMS. Memento Moil!"
"A cuilous key," I suggested, (is I
teturned It to M. l.ebon; "tell us about
It."
The one addressed puffed assiduous
ly for a moment or two, as he twilled
the mysterious key between his fore
finger and thumb, but he made no
reply.
"Come, come," said M. Hlouet, as be
leaned forward with luteiest, "there
must be something to tell nbout a key
like that. Why not let us have It?"
"You are right, gentlemen: theie Is
a curious story concerning this key,
and, since you deslte It, I will tell It
to you; for truly, gentlemen, without
exaggeration, this little bit of metal
that I hold In my hand, has one of the
moht remarkable of histories."
"Tell It! tell it!" we both exclaimed,
In a breath.
Fiesh cigarettes were lighted, and,
still holding tho key in Ills hand as
If to bear witness to what be s.ild,
M. Lisbon began his stoiy.
"It was In 1S7I, just after the sur
tender of P.trK The second empire
had fallen. Monsieur Thiers and his
pirty held the government. Uvldenca?
of the terrible Commune weie on every
hand, still the city was beginning to
look like the habitation of a civilized
people. One morning, Les Journal des
Pebats announced the death, at Ver-
'illlej., of a ltusslau lady, who, for
moie than twenty yeiiis, bad kept all
tlm gossips of the Pails salons busy
on-crnlng a mysleij that teemed to
suiioui'd her. For leasons that 1 shall
piescnth explain, she beeamc knoiwi
as I,a P.une a la Clef.' Now a nlck
nuiiio In l'ails means n great deal
more than It does here. When one Is
nicknamed theie one canlos that name
to the grave. The notice In Les Jour
nal ties Debuts mentioned 'La Dnine a
la Clef est moite.' It did not give lir
own name; that would have signified
nothing. The paper concluded by say
ing tint she died, aged forty-five, In
complete holltude. It seems that her
husband who was much older than
hbc, had visited her reguluily every
six months during the past ten years
and then had disappeared, no ono
knew wheie. All was mysterious
about this 'Lady of the Key." Ono day
came to her the news of her hus
band's death. She survived nlni but
a shoit time, nnd It was vvhlspcis.l
that she hail allowed heiself to die
from hunger. That was all th nolle-)
nf her death had to say about, tho
mattei ; the mysteiy still le.-n lined
unexplained, and the Intel est eoncein
Injr her gievv less and less und grulual
ly died awuy altogether."
M. Lobon paused to tellght his I
Mitctto, which he had allow "d to go
out. After doing this, he settled back
In his chair, puffed once or twice, but
did not f-eem at all Inclined to con
tinue the stoiy.
"Well." I ejucul.ited, "go jn. That
!- no story. Why, you haven't even
said what the mjsteiy was, or why
she was called 'La Dame a la Clef.'"
"Ah ves," he leplled peinlvely,
"Multo right. 1 had foigotten. Gentle
men, I have not said that unci w.ib
beautiful, yet such was the case. Her
face was one of the loveliest that 1
have ever seen; her figure vvns per
fect, nnd "
"Well?" Intel i upled M. Hlouet, some
what Impatiently.
"Gentlemen, I will not bore you,"
continued M. Lcbon, smiling; "simply
Imagine her beautiful in fnccand form;
then, gentlemen, around her neck,
which wus of the purest mold, vvns
riveted a golden chain, to which was
attached this key. And, gentlemen,
fiom the first of June, 1848, to the day
of her death, the chain never left her
neck, nor the Key the chain."
lie paused again, nnd once moie
seemed disinclined to go on.
"Well," said M. Hlouet, "we have the
mystery; now for the solving of It."
"Gentlemen." continued M. Lobon,
smiling sagely, ns he tipped off the
ashes of his clgaiette, "I have told you
all that anybody but myself knows; is
that not enough? You now know what
all Paris knew; are you not satisfied?'
and he laughed quietly to himself.
vv e smoKeii for a row moments In
silence, both M. Hlouet and myself sui-
mlsltiff that the best way to hear the
lest of the toiy was to leave the nar
lator completely to himself. In a mo
ment the latter began again, speaking
tapldly and In shoit sentences.
"In 1S4S her husband owned u coun
try house near Passy. She was then
young and g..y no chal'i or kv
adorned her neck then. One day she
was Htupilhcil bv her loid. shutting
somebody In the wardiobe. A ser
vant had bettnyed her. The Musco
vite Othello tuin-d the key twice lr

his wife to follow him. A traveling

said to his wife 'I have forgotten
something nnd will letuin,' then went
back to the house, lie letuined, ac
cording to his piomlse, but, as the
c milage descended the hill, the poor
woman snw flames Issuing from the
windows ot the villa. She fainted.
Thiee dns she lemaiiied unconscious.
On legajnltig her -ense, she perceived
that a gold chain was ilveted mount
her neck, to which vvns att icaed a

Some tliiee weeks later I was calling
on my tilend Lcbou, who wlshpd to
show me some old niunusuipls tint
he hid been collecting, lis produced
a huge box of tosewood. which he
ct'sunllv lcinaiked contained his fam
ily panels. To m astonishment he
diew f i oin his pocket the myiiteiious
key and Intel ted It in the lock, which
yielded ret-dlly to hU pressuie. and
the lid flew Kick.
"Why!" 1 exclaimed, in wonder,
"that Is the key."
"The key"" he lutciiogai'-d Then
he laughed long mid loud 'And v in

he could contiol his meirlmont.
"Certainly." I leplled giiinlv.
"P.v the way, though, It v.nulrln't

I left the house feeling dec pi mol

would think he was some rich lord
of the manor of bygone times. He.
rises early In the morning nnd works
alone. At 0.30 he takes tea and coffee,
with Queen Olgn. He then receives
his ministers nnd deputies and tho
persons entered on the vlsltlnpf liook
for n prlvnte audience. At 1.30 ho
breakfasts with alt the royal family.
After this tepast ho nguln works for
an hour or two. He then goes out for
n drive or wull; with his dnughter,
tho Princess Marie. The queen nnd
other members of the fnmlly drive out
Inter. His majesty's faithful dog,
n gift of tho Princess Vnlden, accom
panies them everywhere, even In, their
Journeys throughout Europe. When
the king goes out alone he likes to
visit tho suburbs of tho town. Nu
merous anecdotes are told of his soli
tary walks.
In the first years of his reign he was
often mistaken for somo country gen
tleman. People, says the Gattlols, ad
dressed him In familiar terms, and he
took great pleasure In talking with
them and homing what they had to
hny about the king, the government
and the nffnlrs of stnte. One day,
while drolling In the environs of the
town, ho got Into conversation with
:i peasant who was soiling vegetables.
Suddenly the! man's horso slipped
down, nnd the vegetables were scat
tered In nil directions. The king, while
tlm countryman was sweat lng and
blaspheming, proceeded to mnko the
horse get up and to gather the vege
tables which the peasant was taking
to market. An officer who hnppcneti
to be. passing at the moment tecog
nl7ed his majesty, and, quite nston
Ished to seo hhn londlng a cait, ad
vanced toward him. The countryman,
peicelvitiff Hint his conn tide was nono
other than King George, stood aghast.
The king, putting a yellow piece ot
money In his hand, said to the pear
ant: "On another occasion, Instead ot
losing your time lamenting nnd swear
ing, you will do better to pick up your
cnnolH and potatoes." And his inn
Jestv, accompanied by the officer,
walked away laughing.
Itut times have changed, and King
Geoige can no longer pieserve his In
cognito He Is too well known, nnd,
whether In town or countiy, W iccog-nl'-ed
by everybody. Wherever he
goes he Is saluted, to which his ma
jesty lesponds by uneoveilng. The
king, howevei. Is not altogether
pleased with this excessive popularity.
The constnnt lnlslng of his hat gives
htm colds and coughs. It Is said by
the Gaulols thnt he has Invented a
method of avoiding them. His majes
ty now goes out either ns a gjneral
oi ii captain, und the mllltnry saluto
theiefoie, i enlaces the fatal "coup
do chapeau."
Dinner Is seived at 8 o'clock, and the
company comprises the members of the
loyal fnmlly, the dlgnltntles of the pal
nce.und some pilvnte ft lend. The king
goes out eiy lately at night, unless It
be to the theatre or the fetes given by
the lepiosentntlves of foielgn powers
and the mlnlsteis. lie prefeis to pass
tly evening with his family. He Is
veiy fond of music. In these familiar
gat'heilngs theie is no etiquette.
King Gooige possesses the magnifi
cent chateau of Tatol, which Is about
twelve miles fiom Athens. It Is one ot
the largest domains In L'utope. At the
time it was bought, now seveint years
ago. It was an Immense foiest. At
piesent it is one of the most delightful
summer i evidences that can be Im
agined. This tinnsformtitlon ntituially
cost enni minis sums of mono. The
king bi ought over fiom Fiance a nei
ftet aim of workmen. who const! ueted
on this domain eighty kllometets of
i mites, olllecs and factoiies Hreedlng
Is cauled out theie on a huge scale.
The foiest and the paiks of the
chateau contain a gtcat quantity of
game ot nil soits. The estate of his
ma testy foinis a magnificent place lor
shooting and hunting, the best thtough
oilt Gieece, no doubt, but "la chnssc."
sttange to say, Is llgorously piohlblted
The king, who has a tender heait. will
not allow the Innumerable Inhabitants
of his domain to be badly tretted. Not
a single tliot has ever been (trod at Ta
tol, to the gteat despair of tho Inmates
of the chateau, not to say the attend
ants on his majesty, some of whom aio
gieat spmtsmen. Tatol In this lespect
Is an estate the like of which Is not to
be found In the whole v oi Id. The fol
lowing detail will show how solicitous
the king Is In favor of the bhds: lie
has mude some holes In the walls ot
his chateau, which aio vvaimed Inside
In the winter. They aie a lefuge, an
asylum, for poor birds.
