The Fix of a Man who Used an Old
Latch key to Look Up Friend.
The bestowal of latch-key is a
sacred trust not always appreciated by
tenants. 1t is the commonest thing
in the world for boarder to walk off
with his door key, thus retaining to
himself the power to enter former
dwelling at any hour of the day or
night he pleases. OF course very few
tenants hold onto their keys with any
such possibility in view, but for the
safety of herself and the future tenants
the landlady should be more particu-
lar than she averages at present in
redeeming the means of entry TO her
household.
A couple ofnights ago. says the New
York Herald. young man arrived
from the West about II p. m. and
promptly betook himself to look up an
old friend, whose room his own had
adioined in house on Forty-eighth
street The house was closed up for
the night. so the young man took out
his erstwlrile latchkey, and letting
himself in. mounted to his chum's
room. He was out, the gas was low
cred, and without waiting to turn 1t up
the traveller stretched himself out on
the sofa to wait. and in doing so fell
asleep. When he awoke it was to find
himself face to face with the basilisk
stare of a strange man. and with re-
volver. The room had changed ten
ants, that was pretty plain, but II
wasn't equally plain how he was TO
make clear that he was neither a
burglar nor an assassin,
If you'll lay down that thing" he
said, after hurried explanation to
the man with the revolver. I'm call
up the landlady and prove my case. "
With man and revolver in pursuit
he did find the landladys door, only
to be confronted by "A strange woman,
who Immediately went into Mysteries,
Then every other woman in the house
raised her voice in Mysteries, and
more men with reviewers gathered in
the passageways. until things began
to look pretty blue for the young man.
At last the final man, armed TO the
teeth, joined the boarders, and as he
did so the poor excited traveller gave
a cry of relief.
''Put down your firearms" called
the last conner. and stop your
shrieks. You were looking for Dick,
weren't you2 He's gone TO Europe
The whole house here has changed
hands. I'm the only one Of the old
crowd left. Good Lord, it's well I'm
here. You'd have spent one night in
Jail, at least, If I'd not been
There, shouted the besieged man.
