At her feet lay her husband. caught by their passion as in a swirling eddy ,ht beck with a of a tideway, were brought back with a start to the realities. No outburst of ungovernable fury at first; outwardly calm, cold as ioe; his face grey white, only the eyes like gleaming steel- points revealing the pent-up, seething passions within him, ais he stepped a paoo i or two forward. His voice oalm, too, as he spoke, though it shook a little despite his iron control, coldly ironical: "I always knew I'd let myself in for a aamned had bargain when I gave you my Tifme, .but until now I thought at least you had oome rags of decency left," John Sarrol said. Beatrice's face might have been cut in marble; every drop of blood seemed to have left it, with fear's imprint frozen there. Philip stood looking at John Sarrol, too startled and disconcerted in that first it-omeut to find words. It seems an interesting tete-a-tete that I have been so tactless as to interrupt," went on Sarrol, finding the effort of repression increasingly difficult-" pouring out the etory of your wrongs, of your husband's crueUies. in another man's ears, giving your- self to thi» philanderer'a %rms! There'a cnly one ?ord for women like yon." And still in the low, restrained voice he flung the -vile word ao her, like a handful of mud in her face.. The word was like a goad to Philip Muir. He strode forward passionately, his eyes gleaming, his hands clenched-up to the other man. "Don't dare to say another word to her! Don't dare, I eay, or I won't answer for the consequences. You may say what you like about me—but be very careful for your own sake how you speak again to her! You have no longer a weak, helpless woman to bully with your wards and blows, but a main!" Philip said. "You've been listening, end for once a listener has heard the truth about himself pleasant or not-the truth!" The suppressed fury broke out at last in John Sarrol. I wonder you dare speak to me, you philanderer and thief of a man's honour!" And almost before the words had left his lips, Sarrol, his paseion flaming out beyond control, aimed a blind blow at the younger man—a blow that would have felled Philip had he not moved quickly to avoid it; it merely grazed his cheek. Instantly Philip retaliated. Hia hand shot out, struck Sar- rol in the face, who reeled back staggering under the force of the blow almost to the threshold- of the library window; then, all the sleeping devil in him roused to a pitoh of vindictive fury, to the lust for reprisals, he closed with the younger man. lie was of immense natural strength; in spite of his bulk, in spite of his habits of living, his muscles—now, at any rate, in this madness of passion—were steel. The two men swayed for an instant by the French window, struggling blindly, sav- agely, like primeval men, whilst the woman stood, as if struck powerless to move or cry out, one hand preaoed to her heart, in the deep shadow cast by the verandah. Philip Muir was a strong man. too, but the older man's grip was like a vice against which he struggled in vain; Sarrol's face and gleaming eyes, close to his, Vindictive and sinister, were alight with a cudden murderous glint, as they swayed in their 6ilent struggle by the dark opening of the long window. Suddenly exerting all his brute strength, Sarrol flung the other man cif, hurled Philip away from him savagely into the nnlighted room; and the younger P,aii went down with a thud. the sound deadened by the heavy Turkey carpet, his cheek striking against the leg of the oak writing table. l' U mark You, you philanderer, you thief of a man's honour!" broke from Sarrol following his fallen antagonist into the room, the darkness of which suddenly swallowed the two men up from Beatrice's terrified eyes. j It was darker to her eyes than it was to the two men within the room., each swayed now by that one blind., savage, primitive instinct of passion to kill; less dark to them because of the moonlight in the gar- den beyond the verandah, against which objects in the room stood out dimly. blurred and black. Only it was more by instinct than by sight that the hand of one of the men fell on something lying on the table; something hard and heavy on which his fingers tightened. A blackthorn stick that Ov.,en Hughes had left behind him inadver- tently after his interview here with John Sarrol an hour and a half ago. What was happening in the room? In spite of her appalled horror and fear, in spite of her desperate eagerness to know. r the woman out on the verandah had no power over her limbs; she might have been turned to stone; all her senses seemed absorbed in the one faculty of bearing, She stood listening. What was happening in the room hidden from her eyea by that veil of impenetrable darkness? She could hear the heavy breathing, a low, muttered word or eo. the sound of movements, but the antagonists were strangely and grimly silent And then- Out of the darkness a sharp, strangled cry that was hardly human, that died away almost instantly, simultaneously with a dull, heavy fall, most of the sound of which the thick cacrpet seemed to absorb. Then silence utter and absolute. The spell of dreadful inertia that had paralysed her seemed suddenly to snap. Instinctively Beatrice Sarrol know that the struggle had become tragedy. Which man had given that cry? She ran forward to the window; her own words spoken earlier that evening: dark a.nd sinister, like a gTive!" and those vague, oppressive fancies of coming ill swept back upon her now. In the room someone was breathing heavily—someone who did not speak 8rS she entered, someone whom she could not see. Which man-which man? To Beatrice Sarrol's overstrung nerves, that played strange tricks with her senses, the room with its darkness and stilliiees and the tragic secret it held seemed sud- denly to fill with innumerable whisperings, She felt her way to the table blindly, filled with an almost irresistible, hysterical desire to scream, her skirts touching something on the floor as she passed. On the library table, near the silver can- dlestick and tray for sealing-wax, was a box of matches; the fact must have impressed itself on her mind quite uncon- ecious'y. Her fumbling, impatient fingera felt for the little silver box, found it. Which man had given that horrible cry? Beatrice Sarrol struck a match; the scratching sound of the match head on the box rapped jarringly on her nerves; the match flared up, throwing a little, wavering tongue of light in the great room, before which the shadows fell back, like shifting wafes, into the sea of darkness beyond Which man? Standing by the table, his passion burnt out, shaking in every limb, evidently making a desperate flgtht to master the mad impulse to give way to blind terror, afraid even to speak l«j?t his To-ice should run out of his control to panic, was Philip Muir; and at ker feet lay her husband, one arm Lent under him, a terrible discoloured bruise, almost a pulp, on the left temple, where the heavy blackthorn stick had descended in a cruiahing blow, the dead eyes staring up at her. The match died out between her ftngers. How she succeeded in strangling the ory that rose in her throat Beatrice never knew. "Philip—Phi'lips he's dead!" she said at last in a shaking whisper in the darkness. In spite of her horror, the woman forced herself to an unnatural calm; she bent and folt the pulse, laid her hand on the heart of the figure on the floor. "Philip, you've killed him!" Oh, that can't be—I tell you it's impos- sible; hell come round presently—he can't be dead! He was stronger than I more liko a madman and he meant mischief—I believe he meant to kill me .&nd I had to defend myself. But he can't be dead—I won't believe tha.t he's dead!" The breu-thleasly rapid, staccato words, harder articulate, were quite unlike Philip Muir voice. "Hush! Don't speak. Philip!" came the woman's insistent, agonised whisper of caution through the darkness. Pity was in her voice: pity for the living, and perhaps a. sudden, deep, remorseful pity for the dead whym in that moment of weakness and temptation she had wronged —with a wrong of which this was the evil fruit. Philip, now if ever in all your life it is imperative you must keep yourself in hand; you must not lose your head. We've got to face facts; it is useless to deceive ourselves. John Sarrol's dead—and what remains now is to save you from the consequences 1 Listen Through the deep shadow of the room Beatrice Sarrol stole across to the door; stood listening feverishly.

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAJNTY DISHES. I Vegetables and rrults are Nature's remedies, and far better than any medicine one can take. But the vegetables should be steamed, never boiled, for boiling water removes their saline properties, the most valuable constituents from the health- giving point of view. Snowballs. One cup of rioe, a pint of mili, loz. of eugar, vanilla essence to flavour. Boil rice slowly till tender and the milk is absorbed, then sweeten and flavour to taste, and put into small wet cups. When cold turn out on a. deep dlish. and pour custard sauce care- fully round. I" A Baked Pudding. Soak some stale bread in milk until soft, break up with fork, and mix with one egg and sugar to taste. Grease baking-dish, and very lightly drop by spoonfuls some of the mixture over the dish, then lightly spread ground rice, then currants, then mixture, then ground rice and currants, and lastly the mixture. Will require about one pint of milk and lib. of bread. Pear Fritters. Out some ripe pears into slices, sprinkle with sugar, and dip into the batter pre- pared as below. Take ilb. of flour, the yelks of two eggs, pint of cold water, one ta.blo- spoonful of salad oil, and one tablespoonful of castor sugar. Mix into a smooth paste and dip the slices of pear into the batter and fry a golden colour, dust with sugar, and serve very hot. A Tasty Supper Dish. About 2oz. macaroni, broken up into small pieces. Throw into bed ling water, to which add a little salt. Boil about 20 minutes. Drain off the waiter, and place macaroni on a hot dish in the meantime. Cut a nice, thick amoli-ed haddock into pieces, lay in milk and boil till done. Take out, remove bone and skin, break a little fmore; thicken milk with loz. of butter rolled in as mlioll flour as it will take up a.nd just brought to the boil. The pieces of haddock added to make hot. Lay all on top of macaroni in a. heap. -—————————.——

I Football. I NEWPORT CLUB'S SPORTING OFFER The sporting offer made by the Newport Olub has been received in Llamelly in the same spirit, and as a result of the magnani- mous action of the jekoiders-I-uite in accord with the best traditions of the club—it is likely that what looked like developing into a serious business will now be allowed to drop. The Llaneily committee met on Mon- day night, and the letter of the Newport club did not come to hand until Tueeday, so that the committee have not yet had an opportunity of dealing with it. There can be no dooibt, however, that the offer will be accepted, a.nd the match struck out of the records of both clubs. Swansea's Western Tour. I The Swansea committee have selected the I following side to do duty against the Albion at Devon port on Sak-arday: -Baca. Jack Bancroft; three-quairters, W. Trew, Phil Hopkins. Harry Toft. and Harvey Thomas; halves, R. M. Owen and Dick Jones; forwards. D. J. Thomas, George Hayward, Edgar Mor- gan, Ivor Morgan, Harry Hunt, Dai Davies, Dai Griffiths, and Ike Williams. The team also play Plymouth on the Monday. One or two reserves to be taken have not yet been selected. Fighting Footballers I Mr. G. W. Dioks presided over the weekly meeting of the Cardiff and District Rugby Union held at the Bristol and South Wales Hotel on Tuesday, when the following sus- pensions were passed: —Dunscombe and Can- Iterbury, for misconduct in the Cardiff Bar- barians v. Harriers matrh, for four league matches; Edmunds (Llandaff North), four league matches; and Evans (Penarth Thisitle) eight weeks for fighting. Evans's penalty was increased for giving a fictitious name. Taff Juniors and Canton Crescent were ordered to re-play, Taff entering a protest on short time.

Air Rifle Shooting I
Air Rifle Shooting I CARDIFF AND DISTRICT LEAGUE I f o-n ight's Matches Forecasts J [BY BULL'S-EYE."] The centre of attraction of to-night's series of matches is the mestiug of the Aibert with the unbeaten Duke of York. both teams ^tre, to my mind, evenly matched. The Albert has twice suffered defeat, on both occasions just a. few points dividing the teams at the finish, and in each case the Albert should have won. The Duke of York has not been go severely tested, the latter part of their programme being the matches to be feared. Their greatest win was over the Adetphi, when the latter, after holding the Duke tae jirst half, ciaeted up badly after the interval, losmg by a full focore. For to-night both tearns will be at full strength, and with the advan- tage of the range the Duke should put up a big score. The winner, I fancy, will be provided by the best starters. Whichever team leads at the interval will, I think, take the points. In other matches the Adolphi, at home, will be hard put to to beat the Engineers, whilst in the meeting of those old rivals the Atlas should once again triumph over the LaJisdowrte. The Stag may win against the York, and the Victoria will gain points from Cardiff City. The Tudor is at home to Splot- land, and a close finish should be seen. The Tudor, with range advantage, should win. The Oak ajid Splott Consorvative are evonly matched. The former team, has enjoyed none the best of luck this year. They may will to-night.

Passing Pleasantries, I
Passing Pleasantries, I "An elephant must be a pretty expensive animal. "Yüs! I wish I had enough money to buy one." "What do you want an elephant for?" "I don't want an elephant at all. I merely expressed a wish for the money." SECOND THOUGHTS. I The owner of a small coiuntry estate decided to sell his property, and consulted an estate agent in the nearest town aabout the matter. Aft-er visiting the place the agent wrote a description of it, and sub- mitted it to his client for approval. "Read that again," said the owner, olosiqg his eyes and leaning back in his chair con- tentedly. After the second reading he was silent a few moments, and then said thought- fully. I don't think I'll sell. I've been looking for that kind of place all my life, but until you read that description I didn't know I had it. No, I won't sell now." FAITHFUL TO THE LETTER. I "James," cried the merchant from his private ofljee. Yes, sir," answered his office boy. "I am very tired, and I am going to ha.ve an hour's rest in my chair here." "Yes sir." "If I should happen to drop off call me at four o'clock." "Yes, bir." So the merchant lay back in his chair, folded his hands, oloeed his eyes, and was soon in the land of dreams. He was awakened by the clock striking five, and called indignantly, "Jamee!" "Yes, sir." "Why didn't you oall me at four ddook, as I told you to do?" "Well. sir, ye told me to call ye if ye had dropped off. I looked in on ye at four, and ye hadn't dropped off. Ye was sitting on the ohair, sound asleep."
STOUT LADIES LOSE WEIGHT.…
STOUT LADIES LOSE WEIGHT. I A Classic Recipe. I There has been much talk lately albout a new preparation for the cure of obstinate fatness—a simple, harmless mixture that any of our readers can make up at home, after procuring the ingtredients at any chemist's. This is it:-One half-ounce of Marmola (in a sealed packet), one cunce of fluid extract of CWycyrrhiaa B.P., one ounce of pure Glycerine B.P., and Pepper- mint Water to make six ounces in all. This wonderfully successful recipe has become classic. The dose is two teaspoonful43 a.fter eaoh meal and at bedtime. Stout men and women are by no means required to half starve themselves when they go in for this simple treatment. Let them rather increase their streogth and fortify the nervous system by a little indulgence in wholesome and enjoyable disihes. Fatiguing physical exercises ore likewise quite unnecessary. Nourishment and repoee are as essential to health and beauty aa is the" elimination of the excess of fat, which, in the form of internal deposits, is really dangerous and always injurious to health. e5704

Lahore, Wedineeday.-Prom detailed, reports received here regarding the murder of Mr. OLougfh., district gA,Perintendent of police at Lyallpur, it appeals Mr. dough, who was a, young man and a remarkable lingnist, had occasion to reprove a camel constable named Alums heir for attempting to cheat the Government over the prioe of a camel, and in doing so used langtuage mortifying to a ihigh-caste -M-oho-miedarn. Mr. dough's orderly, and another sowar, who were standing by. made ojenry over Ahunaher, and tihe man retired to his quarters, where he apparently brooded over the maitter until midnight, when he took a spade and clove the heads of Mr. Clo-ug)h and the two natives while they were asleep. Although no polioital significance is attached to the j orime, tbe incident is regarded as indi- cating the lessening of respect among natives for tihe lives of Europeans.

Miss Queenie Leighton i
Miss Queenie Leighton i PRINCIPAL BOY AT DRURY-LANE Miss Queenie Leighton, who is appearing at the Cardiff Empire this week, where she sings a song of her own writing, called Parsley," will once again next Christmas take up the role of principal boy at Drury L-ane, where she has appeared in that capacity for the lengthy period of five years However, while Miss Leighton has had such a long and pleasant association with Mr. Arthur Collins's management at the Lane, her association with last year's production of Babes in the Wood was not altogether a pleasant one. It was while she was rehearsing for that pantomime that she had the serious accident which nearly deprived her of the use of an arm. She described it graphically to one of our representatives who saw bier at the Empire last night. "It happened one night," ebe said, "when I was just off to the theatre. My motor-car was waiting at the door of my MISS QUEENIE LEIGHTON. I flat, and just before I intended going down I went to the sink in the kitchen and emptied some petrol into it. I hadn't the least idea that a gas-ring there had been lighted till the petrol flared up and set everything on fire, including the front of my bodice. I was very severely burnt; indeed, few people thought I should ever be able to use my left arm again. I was in bed for sixteen weeks, with five nurses to look after me. Four pieces of skin taken from four different people were grafted on to my arm. I was under chloroform fourteen times, to give you some idea of the terrible time I had, and my arm even now is still badly scarred. You might scarcely believe it, but that accident cost me more than £ 2,000." Miss Leighton was kept off the stage, of course, for many weeks, and the first time she left her house was to attend the last night of the pantomime in which she should have taken the leading part. After her season at the halls, which she commenced on Easter Monday, she will get a big welcome back from the patrons of Drury Lane. There she will play "Dick Whittington" for the first time, and will commence rehearsing in three weeks' time. After the pantomime she will return to the music-halls, with which she is hooked for the next five years, and, of course, Cardiff is included in her next itinerary.

[FROM ALL QUARTERS:
[FROM ALL QUARTERS: The Ven. F. G. Blackburn, Archdeacon of Manchester, is seriously ill. Mr. Granville Barker is now out of danger. Lord Winterton, M.P., will leave London in the early part of December for a shoot- ing trip on the White Nile, where he will spend Christmas. A boat containing six of the crew of the steamer T. W. Stewart capsized off Margate yesterday, and one of the men, named David Porth, was drowned. "I was told that this man was staying in the country," said a rate collector yes- terday at the Willesden Police-court. "I found he was in Brixton Prison." Douglas electors number 5,737, of whom 879 are widows and 524 spinsters. Women hold, therefore, 25 per cent. of the voting power, and can dominate the elections. At a thanksgiving service at Port Isaac, Cornwall, the walls of the church were dra'ped with fishing nets, and lobster pots and packi ng-barrola occupied the window spaces. During the hearing of a charge against a Jewish boy, at Thames Police-court, a reformatory school officer told the magis- trate there was an increase of crime among young Jews. Sir William Huggins finds it necessary to give up the use of the telescopes and spec- troscopes with which the Royal Society provided him in 1871, and the society has offered the whole equipment to Cambridge University. A conference of 47 delegates from traders' associations in and around London has just formed the London and Suburban Traders' Federation, which many local associations, representing 1,200 tradesman, have already joined. Chloroform, a knife, files, gloves, and a list of addresses were discovered in the pos- session of William Simpson, who was found by a policeman at a Lincoln's Inn base- uent, and who was remanded yesterday at Bow-street. Sir Alfred de Book Porter, secretary and financial adviser to tihe Eoclesiastica-l Com- missionets for England since 1880, died at New Barmet this morning. Deceased, who was 68. entered the service of the Ecclesiasti- cal Commissioners in 1860.

Ball, 62, Wells-street, Canton, Car- diff, says For about two years I suffered from kidney complaint, though I don't know what brought it on. I used to get sever" pains in tho small of my back—they were sharp, catting pains, and seemed to take away all my energy, for the least exertion made me come over quite faint. My limbs swelled a great deal, and my appetite waa not at all as it should be. "I tried all kinds of medicine. but the only one that helped me waa Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills. When I had taken about half a box of these I found much relief, and I persevered with the medicine until I had taken three boxes.
