Montragoux appeared inconsolable
at the disappearance. which was com
plete, Of Colette, his first wife, and
| doubtless his lot would have been far
! less unhappy IL he had never tried to
console himself. This, most unfor-
tunately, he did by marrying one
Jeanne de la Cloche, who turned out
to be a violent dipsomaniac. Blue
beard was of a nature so kindly and
noble that, although in a At of mad
passion she nearly killed him with q
kitchen knife, he continually hoped to
reclaim her by kindness. But one day
she strayed into the generally shut up
princesses' room, took the painted fig
ures for real people and was so terri
fed that she rushed wildly into the
open fields, tumbled into a deep pool.
and so was drowned.
|; SO ,things-~went on, a new affection
with each new wife, and in each case
the final catastrophe was associated
with the princesses' room. The climax
to the unhappy career of the more
than worthy and lovable Bernard de
Montragoux came with his seventh
wife, Jeanne de Lespoisse, cleverest
and most fascinating of family of
utterly INSCRIPTIONS adventures. No
one knew anything about the supposed
late husband of the mother. OF the
two brothers, dragon and musket-
eer, one was a low rascal and a mere
sponge; the other lived on gaming and
on the good nature of women to whom
he made love. Anne. the sister. was
the incarnation of malicious cunning.
Associated with this precious family
was a certain Chevalier de Merlus.
who had a great deal to do with the
final tragedy Of NJ. de Montragoux's
career. The nature of. this tragedy
may be- inferred. but 1t Is curious that;
while Perrault. represented Bluebeard
as taking journey in order to lay q {
trap for his wife, the fact was exactly
opposite. Both before and after his
marriage be had heaped benefits on
all these wretches. When he was
obliged to go away in the matter of
IN Inheritance he gave. all his keys
without reserve to his wife, warning
her out Of pure love against the I'M
happy associations Of the Processes
room. As soon as he was out Of the
way a trap was laid for him, and, it
was in that very room that he was
most trea cherously assassinated. The
worst and the best of it was that M. :
de Merlus, after marrying the wealthy
widow, became an exemplary husband ;
and subject Of the king. - :
