In the rarne room, underneath c fable, is also discovered a fuse'.ess infeml machine, which h.a.s tcea put there by the Ju?t Four "as an earnest that on* threat is no idle one." CHAPTER III. ONE THOUSAND POUNDS 17EWARD, To say that England was stirrpd to ito depths—to quote more than one leading article on the subject—by the extraordinary occurrence in the House of Commons would be stating the matter exactly. The first intimation of the esistencs of tho Four Just Men had been received with pardonable derision, particularly by tho&3 newspapers that were behindhand with th-3 j first news. Only tha Daily Megaphone" had truly and earnestly recognised how real was the! <tan>?er which threatened the Minister in charge of the obnoxious Act. Now. however, even ths most scornful could not ignore the i significance of the communication that had so mysteriously found its way into the very heart of Britain's most jealously guarded inctitution. The story of the "Bomb Out. | rage." filled the page3 of every newspaper j throughout the country, and the latest j daring venture of the Four was placarded tho length and breadth of the Isles. Storks, most apocryphal, of the men who: were responsible for the newest sen-ation made their appearance from day to day. and thera was no ether topic in the mouths j of men wherever they met. but the strange quartette who seamed to hold the lives of the mi.hty in the hollows of their hnd,3. Never since the days of the Fenian out- rages had the mind of the public been so filled with apprehension as it was during the two days following the appearance in the Commons of th3 blank bomb," as one journal felicitously described it. Perhaps not exactly the same kind of apprehension, since there was a general belief, which grew out of the trend of the letters, that the Four menaced nena other, than one man. The first intimation of their intentions had excited widespread interest. Hut the face that the threat had been launched from a small French town, and that in consequence the danger was very remote, had somehow robbed the threat, of some of its force. buch was the vague reasoning of an ungeographi- cal pec pic that did not realiis,3 that Dax is no farther from London than Aberdeen. But here was the Hidden Terror in the Metropolis itself. Why, argued London, with suspicious sidelong glances, every man we rub elbows with may be one of the Four, and we none the wiser. Heavy, black-looking pesters stared down from blank walls, and filled the breadth of every police notice-board. .il.000 REWARD. Whereas, on August 18. at about 4.201 o'clock in the afternoon. an iiifern,a, m{'h'ni' was deposited in the members smoke-room by some person or persons un- known. And whereas there is reason to believe that the person or persons implicated in the disposal of the aforesaid machine arc members ol an crganifsd body of criminalo known as "The Four Just Men," against i whom warrants havo b-een issued on charges of wilful murder in London. Paris, j New York, New Orleans. Sattle iTT.S.A.), j Barcelona, Tomsik, Belgrade. Christiana,! Capetown, and Caracas. Now, therefore, the above reward will be paid by his Majesty's Government to any person or persons who shaH lay such in- j formation as shall lead to the pprehen- sioii of any or the whole of the persons styling themselves "The Four Just men" I and identical with the band before men- tioned. And, furthermore, a free pardon and the reward will be paid to any member of the band for such information, providing the i person laying such information has neither committed ncr has been an accessory b-efor3 or after the act of any of the fol- lowing murders. (Signed) RYDAY MONTGOMERY. His Majesty's Secre- tary of State for Home Affairs. J. B. CALFORT. Commissioner of Police. (Here followed a list of the sixteen crimes alleged against the four men.) GOD SAVE THE KING. All day long little knots of people gathered before the broad sheets, digesting the mag- nificent, offer. It was an unusual hue and cry. differing: fronf those with which Londoners were best; acquainted. For there was no appended des- j criptior of the men wanted; no portraits by which they might be identified, no stereo j typed, "when !ast seen was wearing a dark I blue serge suit, cloth cap, check tie," on which the searcher might base his scrutiny of the passer-by. It was a search for four men whom no person had ever consciously seen, a hunt for a will o' the wisp, a groping in the dark after indefinite shadows. Detective Superintendent. Falmouth. who was a very plain-spoken man die once! brusquely explained to a Royal personage that he hadn't got eyes in the trick of his head\ told the Assistant Commissioner exactly what he thought about it. You can't eaten men when you haven't got the slightest who or what you're looking for, For the sake of ar<;umnt, they might be women for ?'! we know—theymfght be Chinamen or niers; they might be tall or !!hMt; they m'sht—w?? we don't even know their nationality! They've don't even crimes in almost every country in the world. J They're n't French because they killed a I j man in Paris, or Yankee bccause they strangled Judge Anderson.' "The writing," said the CommiEsioner, referring to a bunch of letters he held in i his hand. "Latin: but that may be a fake. And sup- tpose it isn't? There's no difference between the handwriting of a Frenchman, Spaniard, Portuguese, Italian, South American, Creole -and. as I say, it might be a fake, and pro- bably is," "What have you done?" asked the Com- m i nc r. "We've pulled in all the suspicious charac- ters we knew. We cleaned out Little Italy. combed Bloomsbury, been through Soho, and searched all the colonies. We raided a place at Nunhcad last night—a lot of Armenians Iive down there, but- The detective's face bore a hopeless look. "As likely as not." ho went on, "we should j find them at one of the swagger hotels—that s if they were fools enough to bunch together; but yea may bo E're they M living apart, and meeting at s-sme unlikely spot once or twice a day." He parsed, and tapped his fingers absently on the big dock at which he nrd his superior sat. "We've had de Courville over," he resumed. "He saw ths Soho crowd, and what is more important, saw his own man who lives amongst them—and it's none of them. I'll at !east he swears, and I'm pre- pared to accept his word." The Commic?ioner shook his head patheti- cal!y. "They're in an awful stow in Downing- ho said "They do not know exactly what is going to happen n>3xt." Mr. Falmouth rose to his feet with a sigh and fingered tho brim of hio hat. Nice time ahead of us—I don't think," he remarked paradoxically. "What aro the people thinking about it?" asked the Commissioner. Youve seen the papers?" Mr. Commissioner's shrug was uncompli- mentary t6 British icurra--sm. The papers? Who in Heaven's name is soing to talis the slightest notice of what is in tho papers?" he «.a;d petulantly.

Here was great new;, indeed: news that might be heralded across doublo columns, blared forth in headlines, I w,suted by pla<3.rdr, il'ius'rated, diagra-miscd, and illuminated by statistics. Io it tho Mafia?" asked the "Comet" noisily, and went on to pre. o that it was. The Evening World," with its editorial mind lingering lovingly in the sixties, mildly ■suggested a vendetta, and instanced "The Co re lean Brother- The "Megaphone stuck to the story of the Four J"st Men. and printed pages of details concerning their nefarious acts. It disinterred from 4dt,6ty fi1-E, Cantmental and; Aniencan. the full circumstances of each murder; it gave the portraits and careers cf the men who were slam, and, whilst in no way palliating the offence of the Four, yet :3 forth justly and dispassionately the lives of tho victims, showing the sort of men they were. It accented warily the reams of contribu- tions that flowed into the office; for a news- paper that has received the stigma "yellow" exercises more oaution than its more sober competitors. In rewsp-ip-erland a. dull lie 13 j seldom detected, but an interesting exaggera- tion drives an unimaginative rival to hys- terical denunciations. And reams of Fo-\t Men anecdotes did j flow in. For. suddenly, as if by magio, every outside contributor, every literary gentleman who made a speciality of personal cotes, every kind of man who wrote, discovered that he had known the four intimately all his life. "When I was in Italy wrote the author of "Come Again" (Hackworth rezi, Book Mart, 7.<:1,), "I remember I heard a our-iotis story about these Men of Blood. Or— No f:pot in Lsndon is moro likely to prove the hiding place of the Four Villains than Tidal Basin," vrotD another gentleman who fit-ruck "Collins" in the north-east corner of his manuscript. "Tidal Basin in the reign of Charles II. was known as, "Who'e Collins5" asked the super-chief of the Megaphon? of hie hard-worked editor. "A liner," described the editor wearily, thereby revealing that even the newer jour- nalism has not driven the promi&cuou;? con- tributor from his hard-fought field; "he does police-courts, fires, inquests and things. Lately he's taken to literature, and writes Picturcsquc. Bits of Old London, and Famous Tombstone? of Korns:?y. eipics Throughout the office or the newspaper the same thing was happening. Every cable that arrived, every piece cf information that reached the sub-editor's basket- was coloured with the imp-ending tragedy uppermost in m-en's mind-s. Even the police-court reports contained some all'6ion to the Four. It was j the overnight drunk and disorderly's justifi- cation for his indiscretion. "The lad has always been honeet," said the peccant errand boy's tearful mother: it's reading thece horrible stories about the Four Foreigners that's made him turn out lik9 this"; and the magistrate took a lenient view of the offence. To all outward showing. Sir Philip ifamon, the man mostly interested in the develop- ment of the plot, was the least concerned. He refused to bo interviewed any further; be declined to the possibilities of assassination even with the Premier, and his answer to letters of appreciation that came to him from all parts of the country was an announcement in the Morning Post askiag his correspondents to be good enough to refrain'from persecuting him with picture postcards, which found no other repository than his waste paper basket. Ho had thought of adding an announcement of his intention of carrying the Bill through Parliament ?x whatever cost, and was only deterred by th" fear of theatricality. To Falmouth, upon whrm had naturally devoiv-ed the duty of protecting the Foreign Secretary from harm. Sir Philip wa-s un- usually erateic-tfci, and incidentally permitted that a-stute officer to get a glimpse of the terror in which a threatened man lives. Do you think there a any danger, super- intendent?" he asked, not once but a Boore of times: and the officer, stout defender of an infallible police force, was very re- assuring. For," a-s he argued to himself. what is the v.,se of frightening a man who is half- acarcd to e'eath already? If nothing hatpone h'J will see I have spoken the truth, and if —if—veil, he won't bo a.ble to call me a liar. c-ir Philip was a constant source cf interest to the detective, who must ha,ve shown his thoughts once or twice. For the Foreign Secretary. who was a remarkably shrewd man, intercepting a curious glance of the police-officer, said sharply, "You wonder why I still Go on with the Bill knowing the danger? Well, it will surprise you to learn that I do not know the danger, nor can I imagine it! I have never been conscious of physical pain in my life, and, in spite of the fact that I have a, weak heart, I have never had so much as a single ache. What death will be. what pangs or peace it may bring, I have no conception. I argue with Epic let us that the fear o.f death is by way of beir.ig an impertinent assumption of a krowledge of the hereafter, and that we have no reason to believe it is any worse condi- tion than our present. I am not afraid to die-but- I am afraid cf dying." Quite so, sir," murmured the sympathetic but wholely uncomprehending detective, who had no rfcind for nico distinctions. But," resumed tho Minister—ho was sit- tirtg in i; study in Portland-place—" if I cannot imagino the enact process of dissolu- tion. I can imagine, and have exr-erienced. the result cf breaking faith with the* ohau- celleries, and I havp certainly no intention cf a:} in:; up a store of future embarrass- ments for fear of something that may after all be comparatively trifling." Which picoo of reasoning will be sufficient to indicate what the Opposition of the hour was ploo-cd *o term The tortuous mind of tho rigb- honourable gentleman." And Ircpectc- Falmouth, listenirig with every indication of attention, yawned inwardly and v.ondeiod who Epictetus was. I have taken all possible precautions, sir." said the dotcctivp in the pause that fol- lowed tho rccital ci this creed.

I want you to allcw two or three officers to remain in the i,-e here, and, of course, thero wili bo quite D, number on du< at the Foreign CKfice." Sir Philip expressed his approval, and later, when he and the defective drove down to the House in a closed brougham, he understood why cyclist* rode br-fcro and cn either sid-e of the carriage, .'ind why two cats followed the br'u^ham into Palace Yard. At Notice time. wkt.t a House rparscly filled.

PLTCNDID TIME IN SOUTH AFRICA. t -——— MADAME NOVELLO DAVIES CHARMED. FLATTERING RECEPTION; ENJOYABLE VOYAGE. [By Madame CLARA NOVELLO DAVIES.] PORT ELIZABETH. August 5. When we landed in Gape Town what a welcome I had-innumerable messages in the form of telegrams, letters, persons and flowers, and a deputation from the Cambrian Society! You can imagine my astonishment when they handed me an invitation card to the reception to be held that evening in my honour, net knowing they were aware of my visit. The next thing was a message from Sir Frederick Smith, the mayor, to the effect that his carriage would be waiting for me and my party at 10.30, to drive us anywhere we liked. We were fortunate in having on board the delightful company of Mr. Frank La-scelles, the master of the coming pageant, and Dr. Harris, of Canadian fame, who is connecting all parts of our Empire through the medium of music, even bringing over her-! (as he did to Canada) the glorious Sheffield choir. We drove around for a while seeing the sights, then lunched with a big party of friends from the boat in the Hotel Mount Nelson. Soon afterwards, the mayor drove Mr. Lasc-elles, myself, and my charming little pupil and companion, Miss Winifred Bcrnee. around Table Mountain. I entered most enthusiastically into all games on board, such as quoits, bucket quoits, and sports; in fact, I have become more energetic than ever on the voyage; On the morning we were reaching Cape Town I was on deck at six o'clock watoMng the sunrise, the colouring of which it is far beyond my ability to describe. On the other side stood the majestic, mauve-shaded Table Mountain. Why do not more tourists come to South Afiics? Such a sun-gladdened country cannot fail to have an interest for everyone. Its shores, the history of its coloured raccs, the geological and social problems which await solution, hold out a. claim to the intelligence, sympathy, and interest of thinking men and women in all parts of the worli Think only of the vast mineral assets of the country, and its rioh agricultural possibilities! It will certainly successfully work 6-ut "ts great and useful destiny I verily be,eve that the coming pageant will create such enthusiasm and warmtli towards South Africa throughout the whole world that it will cause much greater appreciation—■appreciation so richly deserved. The pageant is to be. held practically on the seashore. The gigantic pro- gramme which it is intended to carry out struck me with awe. All the time I won- dered why all this warmth and enthusiasm roused me to such a state of excitement, but when I catered the reception room that evening how quickly I understood the cause. There I diceoverc-d the hall crowded with my oountrymen and women, fyll of Cymric Are. mucic, and love. Many times my heart, wa-s touebed wheii, with a warm shake of the hand, I was reminded of some instances of twenty vear3 ago: of my playing for the Blue Ribbon Choir, or on the har- monium ilem Chapel, accompanying at various elsteddfcdau. Crystal Palace com- petitions, concerts with E-oa Morlaie, Sims Reeves, and others. What a kindly, stalwart figure Sir William Thorne is! When he spoke with warmth of his days in Cardiff, when St. Mary-street was a canal, and made various other statements of times gone by that to me seemed hardly possible of my birthplace, I almost. felt envious of his age. Excellent munc was given during the recep- tion. I was astonished at the high standard and beautiful quality of the voices. The reception of Mr Wilfrid Douthitt (my pupil, who is also accompanying me) wae electrical. He was described as the Baritone Caruoo." Afterwards the mayor and mayoress drove us down to the ooot. Then we continued our voyage to Port Elizabeth, where we are now anchored for two days. We had a lovely day on chore yesterday, visiting many interesting places. The weather is perfect- sunshine throughout every day. The sea is T, wonderful blue, and tho land, viewed from th? boat, io charming Being eouth of the equator the seasons are the reverse to those cf England. The mid-winter montho are June, July, and August, and the hottest months January, February, and March, which are ulrr.o,t rainleso. April to September is the rainy season We at home would be glad to have in mid-summer the weather we are experiencing now. I am quite sure the Fvidera would boast of it. Thia morning I was awakened by the band striking up "God Save the King." Various thoughts ran through my brain; but on inquiring I was informed that it was cus- tomary when the fillg was hoisted in port to salute it in this -way The boat itself is most inviting. The decorations in the dining-rcom are gorgeous, as they also are in tho library. The walls and ceilings are of carved and panelled oak, highly finished. There are four beautiful pianos on beard. Of course, concerts have been the order of the day. and although, ac you know, I had quite made up my mind to discard music entirely on the voyage, I and my pupils have always been there when the moment came, and, may I say. alwavs swept the boards. Mr. Douthitt always created a, sensation. He rang an arM from DT. Harris's charming opera "Pan." Mr. Douthitt had not seen the music before the previous day, but he eang it without the copy, to the accompaniment of the composer, who was most enthusiastic at the finish, and exclaimed before all present that it had never been sung like it before, though most of the principal bari- tones had atfcemrted 't.

After a.n elementary education at Troherbort, where h", w,aa born, he paaaed his apprenticeship at Dunraven School, and afterwards taught v.ith «uoooP9 at tnyswen. Thence to the Cardiff University his steady progress con- I tinued, acd his ability as a teacher soon found aoknowledgment. After appoint- ments at Clydach Vale and Geili Bohools. the headmastership of Blaenrhondda. Boys' School -was offered to him and accepted. This was two years ago, and he held the positi-on at the time of his demise. Although a busy man during the week, Mr. Jones looked well to tho spiritual welfare of his pupils, and was a Sunday-school superintendent. There can be little doubt that the deep grief Oocaeioned by the death of his wife five months ago shattered his health, but his personal friends did not contemplate that his end was so near. The funeral is announced to take place at Tynycoed. Swansea Valley, on Saturday next, and will be private.

Sings & Dances at a 100I
Sings & Dances at a 100 I CENTENARIAN ON A VISIT TO CARDIFF Th. h' 1 I There is now on a visit to his many rela- I tires in Cardiff a grand old man from 1 Bridgwater who will be 100 years of age in March. His natural force is unabated, hia faculties unimpaired, and hie interest in mundane matters undiminished. The gentleman is Mr. James Creedy, whose last visit to Cardiff (then little more than a village) dates back 50 years. The centenarian signalised the visit with wondrous activity. He travelled alone, and on arriving at the Great Western. Railway I station hailed one of them gallopers'' (a tram-car), but they wouldn't wait for him; then he sought a cabman, demurred to h,a d?Dtand for 18. 6d., and oSered a shilling. The Jehu was implacable, and the old gentle- man pursued his cojirse. By a circuitous route he reached Koath, the residence of his grand-daughter. the wue of Mr. George Seidell, jdeoorator, and he ia spending his., time l t##t address. He intends to return to Bridgwater by boat, for he boasts of being a capaole sailor. Oaliing at 14 Oroits-si-reei, our representa- tive was toid uiat jU\ vreedy had gone lor a shave, and he is so iatiCh &ought after as a singer and aancer that it wa-ö not easy to trace him. It was found at his barber a that he nad entertained the oompany to a step dance, and trom thence he was traced to (jo, Irea-orick-atitet, occupied by Mr. Charity Baldwin, wnote wile is a niece ol the contenaria-n. Tea was just over when our representative called. some haix dozen descendants were about to depart, ana Mr. Ureeay, who had just sung, in excellent voice, a ditty in praise of tne nightingale, willingly returned to tne apartment, com- posed nimeelf in an armchair, and was the lite and soul 01 the party. ,tie, has a prodigious memory, and is great in conversation, witn a style most enter- taining. He walks with two sticks (a3 a matter of caution rather than necessity), a.nd in debate punctuates his points by striking thettoor with one of the aforesaid sticks. lie looks no moi;&,Itban 70, and could give points to nuwft /oilths of tJQ. He turns the ticalea at 12st. 1 2ib, -.and haa put on bib. in the last twenty months, tie is a widower, his wife having died 30 years ago. Thinking to test him, our man put what he supposed would be a poser. "How many pounds are there in ,Ol.() farthings?" the I reporter asked, Uroody worked it out in a trice, and his answer, on being audit-ed, was found to be correct. Placid in manner and voluble in utterance, the centenarian laid it down with no little energy that he could remember when he was zi years of age. "I can tell you," he declared, "what was done then in Bridgwater, where I was born. There was the old Malt and Shovel Inn, where they now play foot- ball. and the old man who kept it has been dead these 90 yea-re. And as to the future," he rattled on, "if I keep as well as I am now 1 may live to be 200. Nothing is impossible when it pleases God's good pleasure. I am still strong, and with this hand of mine I can piok up o.f the ground two heavy iron weights tied togethef." I have faith in mjaelf," he added, as he pulled himself to- gether in the full consciousness oi his strength. As to his diet, he never touches meat nor anything alcoholic, and he "wouldn't take a drain to save hie life, as true as he was sitting in that chair." The battlo of Waterloo was writ clearly upon the tablets cf his memory, and as he I danced away tho few of his numerous descendants who happened to be present followed him-an admiring bodyguard of the wonderful old man. His father, who die4 between 70 and 80. was (said Creedy) the strongest man on the quay at Bridgwater.
