THE OLD EST LOCK,
1t Was Made of Wood and Its Key Was
Remarkably Large.


In the "History Of Ninevah and It's
Palaces" by Joseph Bonomi, Hard
ware finds description OF perhaps
the Oldest lock ever discovered. II
was used in securing the gates in one
OF the palaces of Khorsabad. In
describing this ancient piece OF hard
ware-1f such terms may be applied
to wooden locks-he says: "At the
end of the chamber, just behind
the first bulls, was formerly strong
gate, of one leaf, which was fastened
by large wooden lock, like those
still used in the East, of which the
key is as much as man can convent
emily carry, and by bar which
moved into square hole in the wall.
ut is to key of this description
that the prophet probably alludes:
And the key of the house of David
will | lay upon his shoulder;' and it
is remarkable that the word for key
in this passage. OF scripture, 'Muf-
tab, is the same in use all over the
East at the present time. The key
OF an ordinary street door is COM
monty thirteen or fourteen inches
long; and the key of the gate of a
public building, or of a street, or Of
a quarter of a town, is two feet or
more in length.
1.-The iron pegs at one end of the
piece OF wood correspond to so many
holes in the wooden bar or bolt Of
the lock, when the door Or gate is
shut and cannot be opened until the
key has been inserted and the i'm
pediment to the drawing back OF the
bolt, removed by raising up so many
iron pins that fall down into holes in
the bar or bolt corresponding to the
pegs in the key"
This description and others of a
corroboratory character, prove that
this form of lock and key was in use
in Egypt 4,0o) or 5000 years, during
which extended period of tire it
does not appear to have undergone
any successful change.

AS the cab rolled away Nathalie
caught his significant evebeam At an
other time she would have been ready
to die of maidenly shame, but what
were the opinions and misconce ptions
of the whole world now? Oh, that she
might not be too late! "
The station was not far distant. She
sprang out and was caught in the
stream of people pushing in. She. did
not know where to turn, where to
look. Then, suddenly-her heart
stood still-she saw him. he was hur-
rying towarda just opened door, in
the direction of which a crowd of men
and women were eagerly jostling.
In moment more he would have
passed through the door and been lost
to her! What should she do? Her
impulse carried her on, she knew not
how. She strained forward: faces
were turned toward her in angry sur
prise; she touched his arm.
"Mr.-Mr. Peters," she faltered.
All! that was what she had never
thought of-that he might look at her
in cold amazement! He had retreated
out of the. line of people pressing
through the door, and they now stood
little apart. From the moment in
which she had thrown down that
newspaper her one thought had been
to get to him, to speak to him before
he left to offer him now, in his ad-
versity, the newborn love she would
have been compelled forever to con-
ceal had he remained prosperous
And now it flashed upon her that her
gift might no longer be desired. A
man might cease to care in two months
especially if he had learned to despise
girl as this man had despised her
that day on the beach!
Will continued to look at her dunn bly,
IT t T. she stammered, and
miserably broke down.
There is a communication by brain
waves far more subtitle and perfect
than any by words. Nathalie sud
denly felt her arm drawn through his.
''Dor't cheat me again." said his
repressed voice. 'Don't lead me tc
| believe what may not be true"
ooh, it is! It isl" came the in.
coherently vehement assurance.
"Since when?" he asked further, in
this lovers telegraphy.
"Since that day on the beach-tha1
very day-when you looked at me so,
as though you despised me for my
mercenary lightness, and something
in your eyes and your quiet dignity
made me feel for the first time what :
good mans love might be. I did not
| quite understand then-you left the
next day-you did not give me time
But I did afterward-oh, I did after
| ward!''
Two minutes later she said:
your money ,you1
! troubles? I read all about that
| that's why came"
He passed his hand over his eyes
And I had forgotten all about
| them!"
II II X
| When Mrs Chandos' worst fears
were confirmed to her she remarked,
after a pause:
"And have Mr.. Peters hands grown
smaller in these last two months:
Has the loss of his money improved
the fit of his coat or the beauty of his
countenance?"
And Nathalie broke into blithe
laugh.
'Oh! don't remind me of the nom
sense used to talk. To me he is al
together beautiful now, for he is the
nob1est of Gods creatures-my king
among menn'

MRS. CHANDOs STOOD ANGRY AND DIS
MAYED


MAYED.
Poor Peters! Of what was passing
under that charming, curly pate he
knew nothing. He could listen to
naught save the unru1y hammerinp of
his own Heart and the inner Voice
that clamored: ''Now, now! Do it, do
it!''
Along the beach the hull of fish
ing smack had been washed ashore at
some past period in the history of
this seaside resort It was a favorite
spot on moonlight nights, when the
tide was low On this gray afternoon
1t was deserted. AS these two reached
it now they we're about to pass on.
Peters extending his hand to help his
companion over the debris of rotting
timbers. But that soft, evasive touch
of her cold little fingers broke the
thin thread which alone had kept bis
hot speech in check. There in the
understanding spray he began to
pour out his confession, his entreaties
his hopes, his fears, and in moment
more it was all over, and the great,
strong fellow stood white-lipped and
quivering, conscious that he had
CHANGED his whole life on the cast of
a die.
Nathalie had not raised her eyes,
The vision of silk stockings and lace
trimmed skirts was in, her mad little
brain again. Who may know what
the result might have been? But at
that instant the young man put out a
blind, tender, passionate hand to draw
her to him and the spell snapped
asunder. f.~*.. e..
What mattered silk stockings, and
the like, now? Nathalie looked up
and started back as though she had
been stung. Never had this man
Peters, Bill Peters, forsooth! seemed
so ungainly, SO uncooth, as then!
Never had she been so repellantly
aware of his gaunt frame, Of his care
lessly worn clothes, of his sallow Wis
age and large hands. 9
Don't touch me- she painted out.

Preferable.

AS she turned her tear stained
face toward her friend a strange COM
fort appeared there.
AYE" she exclaimed, "better in
deed that he should prove false now
than after were welded to him"
As she reached for the coffee urn
there was a sweet smile of resigna-
tlon upon her lips.
''Yes, Penelope"-
It was the voice of her trusted
eonfdant, full OF hove and sympathy.
--''you can just BET your life it's
easier to get damages for breach of
promise than it is to secure any
thing like decent alimony."
Taken all in all, the situation
looked quite endurable, and the sill

shifting beach rigidty condemned by
the bathing master: To Mrs. Chandos
the change was relief. It scattered
the swarms of pretty women in airy
toilettes, who were wont to discourse
platitudes over interminable fancy,
work on the piazza below her win
dows, and made it possible to think,
to rest s.:.;. =, h,-a~... ,..-
! And Mrs. Chandos felt that she.
needed rest. = It had required no little
diplomacy, even on the part of so
clever a strategist as herself, to bring
Nathalie to the point of even consider
ingsthis new young man as possible
prospective suitor. IT. Girls were so i'm
practical! Heavens! and sensible mar
ried women knew how little it mat
tered, say after six months, whether
mans hands and feet were small or
large, or whether he wore his clothes
with Chesterfeldian grace or no grace
at all. The important thing was that
he should have grace about the wife's
clothes-and the bills they occasioned.
And of this there appeared. no reason
able doubt in the present case. This
young man would make doting hus-
band. Mrs. Chandos was experienc ced.
She could not be mistaken, and as for
his capacity for paying any number
OF bills it was absolutely illimitable.
Positively there was something almost
brutal in these huge Western fortunes.
To be sure, Nathalie would become
a Mrs. Peters, but the elder sister re-
fected that she had become a Mrs.
Chandos and also soon discovered that
a charming name with nothing to
back it) was, after all, very hollow
satisfaction.
Meantime those two figures she had
been watching from the window, as
they walked away in the direction of
the sands, had passed out of sight
The salt spray dashed against Nathal- l.
les face and the wind drove little
loosened tendrils of curly hair across
her cheek. She walked in silence, with
averted eyes, but at every moment the
consciousness of that imploring in
sistent glance fixed upon her grew
more irksome. This pretty girl would
hays t9]a yen hgFsslf that ahs vas
trimmed skirts and other luxuries ap-
pealed to her Imagination. She had
never had as many of them as she
wished. and she had repeatedly an
nounced that to marry a poor man
would be an impossibility to her.
And vet-oh, why was fate always so
perverse?-here was a man absolutely
rolling in riches who adored her, and
his very presence beside her filed her
with vague repulsion and dismay.
