D Among the many relics of aniqu- * ity preserved in the arsenal of n Venice there is one to which a pecollar and grewsome interest is at- ci 1 tached. It is a heavy key, which to tl outward apearances might have c< ^2 liocc fashioned for one of the pon- T derouR locks of olden times. Yet, tl if tradition is to be believed, it was a 'designed for a deadly purpose, and A . ^ j people were slain with it in a swift, t< I subtle aud mysterious maimer. It is w known, in fact as the Key of Death, tl The chronicles of the city tell '/ that In the earlier part of the sev- b enteenth century a certain stranger a I arrived in Venice. a man of darkle* ?|and Binster aspect. His name was w "^2 j Tebaldo. He seems to have been a sr i man of unruly passions, of great in- ti tcllectual power, but one whose It j talents found their chief outlet in t< | crime. In Venice he established V ^2 I himself as a merchant or tx , trader. For a time his passions lay n: ' dormant. They were aroused, how- n ever, in a stormy manner, which n caused him to sweep from his path s< all who sought to oppose him. One day he observed a beautiful l?i " *2 girl leaving church, attended in a II manner which Rhowed that she be- r? longed to a family of high degree. r? She was, in fact, the daughter of an T ! ancient and noble house, one which e* j l>ad long held foremost rank in Ven- u< : ice. He fell violently in love with w . her. Though far removed from him d< ^^Jjin station, his blind passion took no ic count of this fact, and he determin- ti ed to sue for her hand. There ai | proved to be, however, a more in- l\ ^2' superable obstacle to his suit. The w ; girl was already betrothed to an- ce I ether, a young nobleman of almost, c< j equal rank and fortune. The ai knowledge did not deter Tebnlddf ki j w ho boldly presently himself before ni : the girl's parents in the capacity of w ! a suitor for her hand. As might tl ^2 j have been expected he met with a i.] | curt and unceremonious rebuff. The repulse rankled in his mind, b; ] Enraged beyond measure, he shut ti ! himself ?n in hio "? ? 1 -* tu iiio iiuuoc ttiiu men? Fl ^3 secretly studied a means of revenge, pi : Profoundly skilled in the mechanical m I arts, he allowed himself no rest un- T til he had invented a most formid- tl j able and death-dealing weapon. This hi a large key, the handle of ii I which was so constructed that it ti could not be turned at will. When it was thus turned a secret spring pi 9=9 was disclosed, which on being press- el ?tes ed, launched from the key heel a bi fine needle or lancet. The latter in i 1 '?
