About 1600 ft stranger named Tobaldo established himself as a merchant in Venice. IIo bccamo enamored of a daughter of an ancient house, and, asking her hand, was rejected, tho young lady being alreadj' affianced. Enraged, ho set himself to plan revenge, and, being a skillful mechanician, ho invented a formidable weapon. This was a largo key, the handle of which, when pressed, sent out from tho other end of tho key a needle of such fineness that it entered tho flesh and buried itself there, leaving no external trace. With this weapon Tebaldo waited at tho church door till tho maiden ho loved passed in to her marriago. Then, unperccivcd, ho sent tho slender needle into the breast of tho bridogroom, who, seized with a sharp pain From an unknown cause, fninted, was carried home and soon died, his strange illness ballling tho skill of the physicians. Again Tebaldo demanded tho maiden's hand, ami was again refused. In a few days both her parents died in a like mysterious manner. Suspicion wus cxcucu, and oil examination of the bodies tho small steel instrument was found in the flesh. Tlicro was universal terror; no 0110 felt that his own life was secure. Tho young lady went into a convent during her mourning, and after a few months Tebaldo begged to seo and speak with her, hoping now to. bend her to his will. She, with an instinctive horror of this man, who had from tho first, been displeasing to her, returned a decisive negative; whereupon Tebaldo contrived to wound her through tho grate. On returning to her room sho felt a pain in her breast aid discovered a single, drop of blood. Surgeons were hastily summoned. Taught by tho past, they cut into the wounded part, extracted tho needle nid saved tier life. Tebaldo was suspected, his bouse was searched, the key discovered and he perished on the fallows.
