upon her peril. She promised, and he took

upon her peril. She promised, and he took
q street car for the depot.
From the time that Mother Eve disre-
garded the Injunction against certain tree
in Eden's orchard, and partook of Rhode
Island plppin, thereby introducing various
things into the world never before dreamed
of, curiosity has been an absorbing passion
with the fair sex, and we need hardly in
form the intelligent reader that her husband
was scarcely out of sight before Mrs. Blue
Beard had unlocked the door Of the forbid
den room.
But what spectacle met her affrighted
gaze There, suspended on hooks, like so
many gowns in clothes-press, were the
bodies Of the murdered Mrs. Blue Beards,
whose funerals had been postponed, while
the floor was cloited with their blood. She
would have swooned, but the phase wasn't
known at that time. Terribly agitated, she
dropped the key on the floor, and stained
1t with blood, which she vas afterwards I'M
able to wash out, even with the aid of
patent wringer.
Blue Beard returned unexpectedly, as
every body expected, and the blood upon
the key told the story of his wife's disobe-
dience, for blood, you know, twill tell"
"Must l." he cried, wringing his hands
in anguish-''must / again become wild
| over, and 80 soon? After one short month
of welded bliss, drawing his scimetar and
carefully feeling its edge, from my arms,
and lett alone. Boo hoo oo!"
''Not If l can help it," remarked Mrs. B.
to herself.
81 never caused blue gazelle," Blue
Beard blubbered, as he proceeded to whet
his soythe on the stove-hearth, "to glad me
with its soft black eye, but when 1t came to
know me we'll"
''Now, Blue Beard, don't want to die"
"Prepare !" yelled Blue Beard, enraged
that she did INST at once accept the situa-
| ton.
"Since 1 must die" said she, "grant me
quarter Of an hour in which to write a
letter to the press"
He could not refuse so reasonable re-
quest, 80 he granted it, although he was not
| originally Grant man. Going to her room
| she told her sister Anna to ascend to the
| top of the tower and see If her brothers
(who wac coming to smoke his cigars and
drink his whiskey,) were yet in sight. There
was a cloud of dust in the road, but 1t was
only flock Of sheep on their way to the
State fair.
"Times up !" shouted Blue Beard, who
didn't think much of writing letters to the
press anyhow.
"Only one moment more. Anna! 0, An
na!' she softly cried, edo you see anybody
coming now p
81 see two horsemen. They see me
wave my handkerchief. 1t is Sam and
Bill"
Then Blue Beard rushed in with his
drawn sword Che had drawn it at gift
show and was about to despatch her to the
happy crokaying grounds of her sex, when
her two brothers, Sam and Bill, drove in,
and blew old Blue Boards brains out with
double barrelled bowie-knives.
The wido' B. inherited his money, to-
gether with tie remains of his other wives,
with which she was enabled TO set up mu-
scum of anatomy, finally marrying side
Snowman. Her sister Anna was married
to man by the Teme of Dominy, becom-
ing Anna Dominy, though what this was
cannot say. Blue boards went out with the
eminent and excessive widower of that
name, and haven't been in since 10 my
knowledge.
