BIuebeard's last Matrs-
nlaninl Venture.

The story of the savage Bluebeard,
who had acquired the habit of butch
ering wife now and then, and
boarding her up until he had quite a
collection, has been handed down
from generation to generation in a
very incomplete state; for, although
the record is retained of his ultimate,
wel-merited destruction by the
brothers of his last wife, the worst
trial that he was called upon TO I'M
dergo remains unchronicled.
He was getting well along in years
when he married the next to the
last, vigorous, muscular young wo-
men and when the proper time came
to do away with her, he found that
it put him to all that lac knew. and
he was compelled very reluctantly to
admit that he wasn't the man that
he had been once.
NO." thought he,as fatigued and
tremulous with the exertion of put
ting her in her proper place, he made
out the tag, Il can't undertake an.
other job like that hereafter must
pick out smaller women.n
SO he looked around for some time
before finding one that he thought
he could manage easily, finally Sc
lecting thin-lipped, sharp-nosed
little woman, who weighed about IS
pounds.
The day of their marriage he gave
her the uaual caution about keeping
out OF the mysterious room, and then
left chuckllng TO himself; shell
probably stay out, but if she don't,
I'll make short work of her. 1t will
be the softest snap I've had YETI
Well, he had not been gone two
minutes before she had penetrated
the apartment and made complete
investigation Of its contents.
"Oh, the monster! ~ she exclaim.
ed, as she deity stripped the late
Mrs. Bluebeards of their Jewels.
Hell want to kill me next" she
continued, stopping to examine crit
ically dress with view to turning
and making it over, "but ia like to
see him do it," she added, not at all
terrified and with eyes flashing omin-
ously.
When the old man came home she
didn't wait to be questioned about
the fatal chamber, she jumped right
in on him, and gave him tongue
flashing that made his head swim.
Then she sailed in on her muscle,
jabbed one of his eyes out with
pair Of scissors, pulled out double
handful of his blue beard. and final
ly knocked him over a coal-scuttle
in the fireplace, where he lay UNI
conscious while she telegraphed for
her brothers.
Before they arrived, Bluebeard
had recovered consciousness and she
flew at him again, but just as she
was getting well warmed up to her
work, the brothers broke into the
room with uplifted swords.
"Thank heaven,' murmured
Bluebpard 81 am saved ,, And a.
his head rolled over on the floor, his
lips broke into a peaceful smile.
