THE MARRIAGE11 OF MARL I BY EDITH C. KENYON-, (THE NEW ALLEN RAINE), Author of The Wooing of fififanwy, The Wvaming of Gioerora, ,Iiaxei's Scapegoat." Ilk., tic. I CHAPTER XIV. I The Lost Gwl. Watn the help of a private detective Join Powell searched high and low, and in all directions, for Tom, and for Mart's v alii a hie eagagemeoit ring, and at last, traced the ring to a second-hand shop, where furniture, dreas and cheap jeweilery ware sold in Arberystwithu It was not difficult for the -wealthy Angk>-A utiUraiian tx> buy back the ring far his fiance, and the shop-keeper was glad to be treated so well, when he found it had been stolen by the ooy who sold it to him. 1n describing the boy, he made it clear to Mr. Powell that it was indeed Tom who had brought it there, and the man said there had been another boy hovering about outside, and. he did not know where they went after leaving the shop He was an ignorant man, and had not -the least idea of the real value of the diamonds. Indeed, he thought them not raol," and wondered at the ease with I' which he obtained X,5 for the ring. Mari was very glad to have her ring a^aia, aad chiefly because she had felt aabjuned of sneh a valuable article being I stolen from her by her step-brother, and qpBskiered it was wronging John to loan in that way so inueh tyf his hardly-won goM. Ily-, too, was thankful that it was foangl It was a great trouble to him that Tom had behaved so badly. He was ashamed of him, and declared that he would give him a sound thrashing if he ever twrned up again. And Ivor had no peiienc; with hi-s step-mother, who wnt about mournkfcg for her boy, with noisy grief and a mournful air, as if someone had wronged her and her eon. PoweH advertised for iho boy, and had him sought for, because he considered it a fearful thing to allow him to rush head- low to destruction, by starting in life as a thief, away from every good home influ- ence. For Marias sake he would fain Rave iter yo-img brother. But every effort was rn vain. Tom had disappeared, and left j no trace behind him. Hip great friend and I cnuam, Owen Jones. had also disappeared from his home, and was believed by his fiamiiy to have gone with him. I As the days and weeks went on Mrs. Hughes lost all hope of Tom's return to Bryncaredog. She declared ha had often tokl her he should run away one d-ay, and go into the worM to eaek his fortune, and ainoe they knew Powell he had quoted him as a fine example of what could be ckme in that way. "rm not going t-o weste my life waiting l1 Aee in tins poky old place for him," she said, and if you two," looking at Powell alad Mari, don't c-øt married, I rhal1 leave you and go to London. 3 Mari ws? m*t to be t?M-iod fix?'mg an early date for the wedding day. As sh? bad lea?mt to appreciate and respect John PoweU, the wrong Me wouM do him by marrying him without love '?wned upon her. She was sure his great, Loving hüTt wiW be brokeri if he found he had lear- ried a wife who was, in comparison with j kimse??, absolutely cold. Her every instinct and they were all honest" aoil honourahb with Mari—made her feel that eOO not h- rushed into a marriage with hrM. He seemed to lie in no hwrrv. E-vary day he came and motored, or rode with her, or they climbed up some of the hills, or .inoujntains, near Brvnearedog. The? would, t-ke provisions with them, 3nri reiLjiin out of d-oore almost all day. This, in the glorious autumn weather, was very delightful, and Mari found she liked the companionship of John, allè th&t it was exceedingly interesting to Àearhiin talk. He would tall h&r of his past Hie in Au? tralia, and of th,? st,-ang- and WOndflo1'iUll things '?haL ha.pp&??. to him there. A&d sometimes he talkA of a friend, who be- cajn?. lat?r on, hig partner and chum, named Dan Roberts, a Welshjr?n HiŒ him- self, and a good, honourable man. It seemed thM man was killed in an ac*idei;t whUe out riding. His hare* re?TP'?, fen backward? and rolled on him, and be onlv lived a iew hours after. He was a widower with one daughter Wilafieda, a yoang girl vrhom Powell had never seon, as she was in a boarding-school at Melbourne. But tbe dying man left her in his friend's cara, together with her property, which was not inconsiderable. There was no time to make a will. The dying man oould only say "T.ha.t he wished, and John Powell promised to do it. His word w.« as good as his bond, and after the funeral of his friend was over, he went to Mel- bourne to see his ward. Alag, when he arrived there, he found the was lest—she had been seen talking to a woman one day when the girls were out walking, and the next day she disappeared. The Melbourne police could not find her, and neither ccxqjd the detectives whom John set to work at onoo. Putting all bit work 00 one side, he devoted months to the task of trying to find her, but in vain. She seemed to have disappeared and left no trace. Reluctantly he conie to the con- clusion that she must have died; neverthe- less, when he left Australia he ord ered the seaach for her to be oocrti mied, regardless of espense, and soon let them know his a ddress in England. Be wW most anxious, he told Man, to l fulfil bw trus-L, ajui do everything possible for -the child of has old friend. He had in- vested her money in good securities, and the interest was acctmigainng. He still hoped that she waft alive, and would turn v tIp. Maii was deeply interested, and found heraelf sawing, "I hope she wall turn trp. She ocrald live with us till ebe marxiecl- Yu-'ve a kind heart, Marl," said the man.

ISTAGE AND STALLS. I
STAGE AND STALLS. I I GRAND THEATRE. I By a crowded audience at the liraim I Theatre on Monday night, which included the Mayor and Mayoress (Aid. D. DaVies and Mrs. Davies) and members of the I Borough Council, D. W. Griffith's film, The Birth of a Nation/' was received as one of the most magnificent spectacles l ever presented in the town. It was a dis- tinct innovation for the theatre, an extra- ordinarily fine entertainment, thrilling, amusing, pathetic, instructive. The Birth of a Nation,? full of life and action, shows war ab it actually is, and demon- strates not only the most stupendous battle scenes of the great American con- flict, but also the evolution of our Ameri- can sisters and brothers in the years suc- ceeding the declaration of peace. One run of sensation, it portrays cities built up and then destroyed by fire, the biggest i "battle of the Civil War, the theatre isoeue not Washington, and the assassination of Abraham Lincoln, a series of wild Ku! Klux rides that commandeered a county for a day and cost several thousand pounds, women's dresses using 12,000 yards, a" Ku Klux costumes 25,000 yards of cloth, night photography of battle scenes, wonderful artillery duels in which real shells, and miles of trenches, and thousands of fighters were used. The filiu contains everything that is associated with sensation, and it makes the most spectacular production of drama look like the work of village amateurs, and reduces to childishness the bigrest things tie theatre oaa do. The Birth of a Nation is a choral symphony of light, light in all its magic, and there is in the great work of D. W. Griffith a dis- tincti VEl atnuch of individual craftsman- ship, and an all-embraining attention to detail which has come to be known as the Griffith art. Monday night's audience was a eharmed assembly, held in throes oi inexorable ex- citement by the gripping &iwations of the greatest tiini ever known. Almost every seat in the building was booked, and there is already striking indication of a neoord I week of business. Each day thelle is a matinee at 2.30. I THE EMPIRE. I Although the changed tiroes for com- mencing tho performances at the Swansea Empire were well advertised, a goodly number of patrons strolled in innocently a.t the old tixb"13 last .t. Patrons ..should mate that thr- first houae starts at «w.r«d ?-• SAij. That dainty I little '-iaidie Scott, tops a good hill of variety fare, and she enhanced her I' we^-desejvod popularity with fimjure habitues. She has a quiet, ingmtiating way with her which cannot fail to win ad- miration, and she sings a number of strik- ing eonga with sueh poind; and expressior. that compels attention. The Dorinos, a team of performers who come direct from u RazzDame" for a special week at Swansea, introduce a breezy vocal and dancing act. Tom D. newcomer, gives one owf the b--St gt-adies of a dame, comedian ever witnessed at the Empire, Has methods are quite unicfua, and his bur- lesque of popular dsances i3 of a laughter- oompelltog character. Griffiths and Car- moa present a fine comedy skit entitled ri The Lady and the Chef, which shouM on no account be massed.

Hollo performs I some daring acrobat mancBUvres m a high rope, Treluding the aerial bamboo sensation, and he makes the audience hold r thair breath on more than one occasion. Irene ATmitage, e charming vocalist, and ( the latest war films conclude the pro- gramme. PICTURE HOUSE. I A varied and sucoessful bill has been provided at the Picture Elouse for the first half of the week. The star picture first half of the wee is a wonderful scene of the King visiting his armies in France during the great ad- vanoo. His Majesty closely inspects every- thing of interest, and is to be seen enter- ing captured dug-outs and trenches. An historic scene is shown when the King, Sir Douglas Haig, Ganeral Joffre, General jFoch, and M. Poincare stand for the camera man. A Favourite F, ool is an excellent two-part comedy, featuring Eddie Foy at his best. "Verdun-" is another very fine war picture, presenting tioma wonderful spectaclQa. Yet another war picture is seen in Our Grip on the Other go<),d pic- Huns in East Afr?a.? Other good pic- tures are also shewn. On Thursday next I the management will present the wond-ar- ?ful masterpiece, '"The Wandermg Jew. CASTLE CINEMA. A clear jut beautifully love story is un- folded in the fine photo-play, "The Lily and the Rose," which is being shown at the above cinema during the early part of the week. It is an American Fine Art production by the master-hand film pro- dur, D. W. Griffith, of Birth 4 a Nation" fame, who has left nothing to deoiro in the picturesque grouping of hiii characters, the climaxes of his various eceaes, and the beauty of photography. The well-known screen actress, Misa Lilian Gish, is seen to beet advantage in this intensely interesting work, which is full of surprises. The other photo-plays are of a first-class order, the comic ele- ment being as strongly represented in the programme as ever- The Favoorite Faal" is an admirable piece of healthy iool, a6 is also the film entitled ? Per- kms' Peace Party." Indeed, the pr? gramme is an all-round good one, and fully maintains the traditions of this comfortable and popular picture halt There will be an entire change of pro- gramme on Thursday evening, when 60míi very powerful and highly interesting photo-plays are promised. CARLTON CINEMA. An evening with Royalty; our brave I soldiers and our Allies." This was the remark of one who visited the; Carlton Cinema, where there is showing this w I the finest war film programme ever wit- nessed in Swansea. In the film, The King with, his Atmiee in Frajtoe," in the I Royal compomy, and in the company of Sir Douglas Haig, we visit the battlefields I of Mametz and Fricourt. We spend minutes ae onJookfiis of the historic con- ference between the King, Generals Joffre, Foek, and eo many otibero. We witness the greeting of the Prince by his Hoyal father, then to follow the simile, we pay an official visit to Verdun, and when we see the ram^arte, the blank wall" of Verdun hae a new significance. From there we go to Salonika with the gallant Serbians, Russians, Freaaoh, Ital- ians axd out Tommies. We get the oam- paigpi on tlie, Vardar. In general, we pay an official visit to the ffonts on which our Tommies and Alhee are upholding the tr of Britain, and vindicating the wrang done to Belgium and Serbia. Such is the programme at the Carlton during the week. The music, as usual, is of a aLasaical nature, interspersed with patrio- tic aim as would be notummy consistent with the programme. ELYSIUM, I A patriotic programme of pictoaes has been 4geoured by the maJMigemient of the JElysuxm for the commencement of the week. The principal picture, a film which pppeals to everyoao at the present time, is produced by the Film Bureau, of Lon- don, and is eafeirely British, talven in Bel- gium. it is a four-pact drama and is ex- elusive to this theatre. *Ehe Isdepetv denoe of BrffpJim," the najpe given to the film, is most appropriate. It gives a most ecnclw histwy of the Belgian nation from 1815, the tim? whn WiHiain I. vaa I in power, unt? the ginning of the present wodd-wide coD?i<"t. The acerfry is beautiful, at Bruges aod; I Ghent, the latter berag appropriaielv called ff The Venice of <ihe North. Some I' of the towns are shown after they have been wecked br the ruthless Huns. The Scrap of Paper incident between Both- martn-Hollweg' and Sir Edwarcli Gosc hen is also soreefted. In addition to this, "The King at the Somme" has been secured. It is an historic gem, taken at the insti- gation of the War Office. It gives some fine views of the condiitiona at the Western front and shows many well-known per- sonalities. Other pictures include "What Londom Saw on September 3rd," and a conlic entitled Ignatiz's Icy Injury." Swansea people ought not to mass The Departure of tw Swau-aea Battalion." I THEATRE ROYAL. i Patrons of thid popular hall are pro- 'I vided with excellent picture fare for the V first portion of this w-oek. Miss Payrrter'a astuteness has resulted in her secauring a magnificent five-part drama to head the bill. The production is an adaptation by I Will M. Bitchey of the popular novel 4Ç Beug-ah," by Augusta J. Evans Wilson, .1 and is screeaed by the Baflboa Amusement Co. Beulah is a tale of Louisiana 50 year,g ago, .and the disalosk^ of the plot ilbrimgs to light numerous thrilling scenes. The Convict Kixig," a powerful three- 1 paart drama, was also much appreciated. Episode 25 of the Diamond, from the Sky was (Beverly presented, and age lefst the audience gu«esing sfcs to the iden- tity of the owner, and the ultimate end of the gem, "In-a Slim Picked a > Peach," and Wrong Man" were clever mirth-provobers, while as interesting as ever was Pathe's Gazette. OXFORD. 11 The D-unierous patrons of the Oxford I a Electric Cinema were well pleased with ■« the fine array of picture for the first part of the w-eek. StilI Waters Run Doop" heads the programme, and is a drama of unusual thrills. It is produced by Fred Paul.

J '-I'r'- AN APPEAL. j 6th Welsh Comforts Committee j (Registered under the Act of 1916). HE alsove-named Committer hfas decided to repeat i the work it was enabled (through the kindness of many friends) to do last year, i.e., to provide I suitable Christmas gifts for the widows and children of | soldiers of Swansea and District who have fallen in I| action. ( Last year gifts were sent to nearly 200 cases (in- volving a total of nearly 500 women and children), but | J j this year the number of cases is much larger. | The chief object of the effort is to give some token I to those who have been. bereaved that they are not for- j gotten at Cirrismastide by those in .whose defence the I soldiers fought and fell. I The fund (which is duly registered under the I I new Act) is under an Executive Sub-Committee, I consisting of Major G. S. Harries (chairman) I Major T.
