THE MYSTERIOIIS KEY
OR, PLANNING FOR THE
FU ulna.
CHAPTER IX.
Everything thus far has resulted
most satisfactorily for Mr. John
Hubbard—at least, so it seemed, as
seen through his rose -tinted spec-
tacles. His plans had all dovetailed
in the most beautiful manner,
moving along se smoothly and en-
couragingly that his temper had
scarcely been ruffled throughout
the lawsuit involving the Brewster
property, during which his man-
ner had been characterized by an
urbanity and self-sufficiency which
scented to bespeak a conscience at
peace with itself and tho world in
general because of duty well done.
Then, almost immediately, had
followed his marriage with "Miss
Anna Brewster," a romantic sequel
to the remarkable case, as the
papers expressed it, and thus the
great fortune for which he had so
long been scheming had at last
dropped, like a plum fully ripe, di-
rectly into his grasp, and he fondly
believed that henceforth he would
sail over a smooth sea of prosper-
ity, without a fear of even an un-
tcwar(i breeze to ruffle its calm sur-
face.
Mr. John Hubbard had grown
young -looking and debonair since
his marriage. His barber gave him
the nicest possible care, steaming
and massaging the wrinkles and
crow's feet out of his face so Wil-
fully that the man gradually ac-
quired a habit of smilingfondly at
himself whenever he looed in the
glass.
His clothing was of the finest ma-
terial and of the latest cut ; his lin-
eal immaculate; his ono diamond
flawless; his gloves and footgear
above criticism; consequently, ho
made a very presentable bride-
groom, and his forty years appeared
to sit very lightly upon hint.
He also seemed to be propor-
tionately proud of, and devoted to,
his handsome young wife, who cre-
ated quite a sensation wherever
tl'ey went, and thus, of course, in-
creased the importance of here liege
lord. Anna Brown had known all
her life that she was more than or-
dinarily good-looking, and she had
always chafed sorely against the
bondage of her poverty.
Especially had this been the case
since her father's death. for that
stent had trade it necessary for her
to share the treadmill life of her
mother, the combined labor of both
Icing hardly sufficient to keep the
wolf from the door; therefore, she
had for a long time to forego the
,ratification of her vanity- and taste
in matters of dress.
She had a fine form—tall, straight
and somewhat inclined toward vo-
luptuousness. She was a clear bru-
1►ette. with brilliant. wine -brown
eyes, dark brown hair and brows,
good features, perfect teeth, and
vividly scarlet lips.
i4he had acquired a fair educa-
Mon. having attended a high school
until the death of her father. and,
being quick-witted and observing,
she was thus enabled to make a
very good appearance under the
changed conditions of her life.
When John Hubbard's proposi-
tion had opened out before her the
prospect of stepping from a hovel
to a palace, from homespun to vel-
vets and diamonds, so to speak. she
Lad grasped for it as eagerly as a
drowning person would grasp at a
straw, without giving a single
thought to the responsibilities of
aitch a position, or the duties which
lay before her as a n ife. Her one
desire was to get away from the
intolct able grind of her lite. even
though that end could only bo
achieved at the moral expense of
aiding and abetting a crime.
Immediately after the maturing
et John Hubbard, plans, and while
they were awaiting the movements
c,f the court Mrs. Brown and her
She grew light-hearted and hap-
py, and, with a feeling of profound
gratitude toward the than who had
been her deliverer from a galling
hondage fresh in her heart, she ex-
ci ted herself to please him in every
way; and thus, to all appearance,
they were a very contented and de-
voted couple, in spite of the pal-
pable difference in their ages.
\While on shipboard, they both be-
came very sociable with their fel-
low voyagers, aiding very material-
ly in the amateur entertainments
which were arranged for the amuse-
ment of their little, floating world,
and thus making many friends
among the passengers. Arriving in
London, they established them-
selves at the Langham, when they
went everywhere, saw everything,
and spent money ad libitum.
They "did" the principal places
(,f interest in England. Scotland,
and Ireland; then flitted across the
channel to "gay, delightful Paris,"
where they intended to remain for
a couple of months, then go to
Boole for the remainder of the
winter.
They were both in excellent
spirits. Mr. Hubbard was especi-
ally contented with his lot, for he
was really becoming quite fond and
proud of . his stylish and pretty
wife, and mentally asserted to him-
self that he had' never realized
what it was to live until now, when,
with more money than he really
knew what to do with, with not a
care in the world but to live luxuri-
eusly, dress becomingly and grati-
fy every caprice of his own and the
smiling woman beside him, he could
roam withersoever he pleased, and
fear no man.
Ono fine day in November they
bowled along the smooth, beauti-
ful roads in their elegant, noiseless-
ly rolling carriage, behind a pair
of fleet -footed, coal -black horses, in
gold -mounted harness, chatting so-
cially and enjoying every moment,
until they finally drove ostentati-
ously into the courtyard of their led at an adjoining table, quite near
them.
Mrs. Hubbard shot one compre-
hensive glance at hiin as her hus-
band directed her attention to the
unobtrusive individual, then re-
marking, with her French shrug,
that he "did not appear to be par-
ticularly interesting," she paid no
further attention to him. They had
planned to go that evening to the
opera, to hear Nordica. as Margu-
erite, in "Faust," and both being
exceedingly fond of music, they
were anticipating a rare treat.
Anna Hubbard, on returning to

"Dawn in the reading -room
here is a newly arrived Americas

•• New York."
"Is he young, or old i"
"About thirty-five, I should
judge; but why do you always ask
About the age of people, Anna'?"
Mr. Hubbard inquired, his face
clouding a trifle.
"I do not know," she replied
flushing slightly. "I suppose it is
the natural curiosity of my sex
clopping out," she added, laughing
lightly.
He stood looking at her for a mo-
ment.
"Do you long for young company,
Anna? Are you beginning to be a
little sorry that you have not a
younger husband t" he then quer-
ied, a tinge of anxiety in his tone.
The girl bit her lip with vexation
at the turn their conversation ha(
taken.
"I ani very well satisfied with my
husband, thank you," she said
gaily, and yet there was a note in
her voice that, to him, did not ring
quite true.
"Aro you sure ?" ho gravely
asked.
"Why shouldn't I be satisfied?"
she cried, as she suddenly stretched
out her jeweled hands before her,
and glanced fondly at them, then
down at her shimmering dress ; "do
I not have everything I want'? Do
you not do everything to make the
happy I"
"I try to, surely; but are you
really happy, Anna?"
There was the slightest possible
pause before she replied. Then
she burst forth impetuously!"
"I never was so happy in my
life!"
And she spoke only truth, for she
was reveling in luxury such as she
had never dreamed of in those not
very remote days when she and her
mother had toiled early and late at
making jackets for twenty-five cents
apiece.
"I do not believe you ever were,"
said John Hubbard, a smile of sat-
isfaction wreathing his lips as he
passed on to his own dressing -
room.
CHAPTER X.
When they entered the brilliant-
ly lighted dining -room, and sought
their accustomed places, the newly
arrived American was already seat -
hotel, where obsequious servants
sprang forward to open the carri-
age door, relieve "madame" of her
wi aps and pretty trifles—trophies
of her outing—and follow in her
train as she entered the gorgeous
vestibule and passed on to the ele-
vator, to be taken to her apart-
ments.
As they swept through the wide
entrance, John Hubbard observed a
quiet, gentlemantly appearing plan,
in a tourist's suit of dark gray,
standing beside ono of the impos-
ing pillars. He gave him but a
casual glance in passing, but that her rooms had 'lust tied a ravish -
stranger was one of his own coun-
trymen.
After attending his wife to their
rooms, his curiosity prompted him
plumes upon her brown head with
this pleasure in view, and her hus-
band was in the act of buttoning
his gloves, when there came a rap
great plain, stands a lone rock
.. peculiar in form as never to be
rgutten when once seen, and ages
-go the caves which honeycomb this
.•rtress were transformed from the
,abitats of bats and wild animals
rte places for de%utions. Thou-
•t:.ds of images of Buddha are eery -
upon the walls. and in every
'amber bronze, stone or wooden
.ods are standing, sitting, or reclin-
ing in endless silence. No one can
ompute how many millions of feet
have pressed the earthen floors of
these sacred caverns. Almost as
remarkable is a Burmese shrine
built by a rich haat as an offering
to his favorite god. which was erect-
ed on the very apex of a "balanc-
ing rock," so formidable in appear -
ince as to strike terror to the
heart before one can carry out the
resolution to make the difficult as-
cent. The material was trans-
ported to the rock on the backs
of then and pulled to the top with
hand -power by means of a rope.
To reach the top requires stout
limbs and stady nerves, for only
tiny steps have been cut in an al-
most perpendicular wall, and a slip
means a fall to certain injury, and
perhaps death.
LANG('AGES, DIALECTS 3,064.
Writer on Subject of Languages
iteckons Above Number.
The least learned are aware that
there are many languages in the
world, but, the actual number is
probably beyond the dreams of or-
dinary people.
The geographer Balbi, enumer-
ated 860 which are entitled to bo
considered as distinct languages,
and 5.000 which may be regarded as
dialects.
Another modern writer on this
subject reckons up 3,004 languages
and dialects existing, and which
have existed.
Even after we have allowed ei-
ther of these as the number of lan-
guages we must acknowledge the
existence of many minor diversities,
for almost every province has a
tongue more or les peculiar, and
this we may well believe to be the
case throughout the wolrd at large.
Of the 860 distinct languages
enumerated by Balbi, 53 belong to
Europe, 114 to Africa, 123 to Asia,
417 to America and 11, to Oceania.

The fact that Madame Emma

cident in the career of another
famous prima donna, Madame

Sir Frederick Treves is popularly
supposed to have invented appendi-

he operated on the King for that
complaint in 1902. An interesting
story, by the way, is told in the
'Pall Mall Magazine' concerning a
curious tip which Sir Frederick
once received. A sailor from Nor-
way had been operated on by Sir
Frederick in hospital. His life bad
