"O-DAY'S SHORT STORY.] j Milly's Message. (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] I Howell House was a highly respectable I academy for highly respectable young gentle- men; its terms were moderate, its pupils many, and its situation magnificent. One fine summer afternoon two of the foung gentlemen before referred to strolled I arm-in-arm through the little iron gate of -he playing ground and took the direction of :he woods by the river. I They were laughing and chattering gaily; jvidently neither to Dick Greville nor his companion, Arthur Cecil, had the world aany or any tribulations. i "I say, Dick," said Cecil, suddenly, "Don't lon think Milly Darrell a jolly girl and a )retty? I do, from what I've seen and heard )f her." "So do-I," said Dick, quietly. "How do you know. Dick? Observation or I .cquaintwmoe ?" i "Pooh! Do you think I don't know her. E Eilly and .1 are fine chums, I can tell you. !• She's a resrvlar brick of a girl, a.nd I asked ler a epiestiion once, but she only laughed Aid said she didn't like to be hampered." •' Arthur looked at his co-mpa.nio-n scrutini- r ingly. Dick was a tall, plain-looking lad of S ixteen.; he loosed colourless and unattrac- i' ive in his not, too well-made clothes against he handsome face and form of well-dressed f u-thm- Cecil. "I say, Dick. intrcxiu-oe- me to her, will you, rid boy?" t "If I do, .Art, you must promise me never I o attempt cut me out. She's mine, you ;no'v—ov aInXSt m,i:nand I don't want to ose my chaxict. I know a likes me a lot. Arthur latifrhad. "That's all right," ha aid, lightly, "mil YClltl do it?" The two 1)ad reacted the woods by now, 1fl had halted oa the edge of the stream. "Will you promise-?" repeated Dick, whose ace was set in nasty, ssfcraig'tot lines. 11 "No. I'm hanged' if I will." Cecil replied, $aucrhirtg. "I ^refuse on principle, Diek. II ou're so cocksure of her you'd never fear ne T or anyone etee." j "r want your promise, all the same, Arthur. t is the only condition, ard I know you rould keep it." jj Oh, yes, if I agreed to it," raid Cecil, linking a stone out a"roas the water a.nd ■•ausin it to ricochet five times along the urface ere it saiak- "The ) you won't agree?" "No." > "Then I won't iutrodn-ce i? "I'll do it myseif. thsiTjk you," said the her lightly, throwing himself down on the Visldin-g grass and looking up at this friend. 'I dont tliiiik it will be hard to do that." i "Do you mean it, Art-bur?" "Of couse, I—why Dick. wha,t's the matter? Vhat are yon looki-tig- so wild about, man? torely, I am quite at liberty in this matter? Jbe is free, and fair gaane, and-" "Fa.ir game! Don't insult her! She's the ■\learest little girl in all C'trristendom, and I f. von't have her disrespected even by you, my riend, Arthur Cecal." r "Dickie, boy, you are warm. Ah! you were ulways romantic. Look here, I've hitherto aken you to be the most sensible inmate of Iowell House. You're a, heap more sensible han I; and that's a concession, if you like, -tbt th-e correctness of mt I'm beginning to doubt the correctness of hat irepression." r;l "You can doabt as much as you jolly well ),Iease, but you sha.u't insult- her," said Dick, loggedly, turning away. I ■A Cecil laughed at his friend's petulance. .1' "You're hard hit, old boy," he sang out l| rom the ground. "And you're very touchy 'ver ;t." If "Once more, and for the last time," cried I Sreville, turning suddenly and glaring down ► his laughing chum, Are you going to rave me-and her—atone?" I "I dont think so." drawled the prostrate ■outh, "why should I?" "Then you're a cad, and a coward, and no riend of mine!" "I jumped to his feet with a bound and fenced his friend. All the lattghsfcer was gone fi rom Arthur's face; they were both white ? W1d trembJing. j Fox an instant there was silence, and then ipcil spoke. • "Will you take it back, Dick?" Xo, why should I?" Greville answered re- f mating the other s words. "I say it again, (lai-hirr C?cil—there is no manhood in you. Tou're & false friend, a hypocrite, and a ? oward!" l Cecil said no word; he slowly unbuttoned if ria coat while he keptf his eyes on Greville, vho. in an instant, as he perceived the 'ther's action and guessed its intent, had nng off his garment, and stood, hands ■ -ed and ready. Don't be silly," said Diek, gTuffly. He ,,I!ecl up the eleeves of his shirt. Fool!" snorted Dick. "Don't call me that! "ou're the fool for bringing on yourself a oily good hiding." Dick had clearly lost his temper, and cool- ieaded Arthur saw that it was useless to ,ndeavour to pacify him. Then the two who bu-t a few minutes before tad been such warm frierads stood ui> befors '3.ch other to do battle, one against the ther. Suddenly Dick lunged out with his left and ttruck at his opponent, but Cecil guarded, iwi missed the opportunity of a neat retalia- ion! Dick flushed hotly at the thought of )is own rashness and the other's palpable •eluctance to take advantage of it. Arthur acted wholly on the defensive, guarding and dojring with a calmness that vas terribly goadin to the other's excited eclings. "I'll smaSlh yon!" Dick almost shouted in lis rage, and ha rushed viciously. at Cecil. lnd drove with all his might, and Arthur vent down with a crash. Dick dashed toward Mm, an evil intent k.pl),axent in his face. For one moment he 'argot all codee of honour and fair play; ha July knew that hie opponent was at his, nercy for the time being. He would'rev enge- rimself somehow! As he started forward there was a sharp it.tle ory from somewhere overhead, the thick •iusterin^ leaves on the branch of the tree ust a.bove them suddenly parted, there was i -wishing sound, something flashed darkly )etw,eein him and the prostrate form, and ■>;ck found himself face to face with-Milly. "Diok." she panted, redrfaoed and trem- ,¡jng. "How dare you?" Greville elunk back limply, his eyes fixed ii),u her, and his mouth Qipen wide as though e would speak but could not. The two of hem stood a moment eyeing earch other in ilenee, and waiting for eacth to speak. Arthur got ur.on his feet, and looked over Rally's ehoulder. Then he burst out la-ugh- ng as he caught Ciglit of Dick' face. Then I liJy laughed out 10llillyand Dick scowled ««Tibly, and then he laughed too, because jiey did "'What were you doing in the tree, Squirrel?" Dick presently asked, somewhat '1øI}en ly "Whet were you fighting about, Bruin?" the retorted, glancing at Arthur, who had xxme forward. "Ijet me tell you," said Cecil. "It was my s'ault in the first place, because I wouldn't promise not to try and cut him out." Out him. out?" she exclaimed aghast, like me rep-eating a leeson. it "Don't be silly," said Dick, gruffly. "Bo xplieit, p-lease," he added, to Arthur, who vas laughing again. it Well, we were talking about you," con- drrned Arthur, -iit a,ingly-here Milly )Owed obsequiously to Dick—"and Dick said 100 knew you, and I said I wanted to, and iesaid I didn't want to, and he didn't want ne t.()-anrd-and-" ',1 We had a jolly fine row," Dick supple- ilnented, grimly. V "And a very bad fight," said Milly, deci- ively, to Dick. You were going to kick :ively, to D,?'e k. "You were -oing to kick Dick flushed scarlet and hung his head. You were going to disgrace yourself." Ft was for you- the fight," said Dick. The Squirrel? Fighting—black eyes and ut lips-fora mere Milly?" and she laughed again at both of them. "Look here, I've come down without my hat, and-" she stopped and looked at Dick and Arthur. Cecil was nearest the tree, Dick being some dozen yards away. Cecil glanced at Greville and then stood away, and a few moments later Milly was fastening the soft white straw on her pretty head, and Dick was brushing the dust from his garments. Nov, gentlemen," she said, authori- tatively, I must withdraw from your society, but you must promise me never to fall out again over me. Will you?" Dick and Arthur both nodded a.t once. "Well?" she added, and then stopped and fixed them with her twinkling eyes. They knew what ehe meant, and the hand- clasp that followed between the two fellows was hearty and earnest. "Thanks," she said, simply. Good-bye, Dick. and-" Dick caught her hand and turned to his friend. No," said Cecil, quietly. "I won't let you introduce me, Diok, nor will I shake hande." "Do you want me to knock you down?" Milly asked, severely. I bave beard your name," she added, quiokly. It is Arthur Ceoil, and—and—I don't think I should really care to know you much, and Dick won't mind you shaking hands with me." Arthur hesitated a moaemt, looking at Dick. Then he shook hands with Milly. Squirrel!" Yes, Bruin!" "What made you climb a tree?" The thought that perhaps I could if I tried," she answered, saucily. Do you want me to tell you something else?" she added, meaningly. "Yes; what might it be?" "Go and do as I did." "Climb the tree?" She nodded. "But why? I huive." "You simply went there and back and-, oh, good-bye," a-hd ehe was gone, flying fast along the ye:low roadway, her hat hanging on her shapely shoulders and her hair streaming straight behind her. Not once did she glance back. • The two stood watching her till she was out of sight. "What the Dickens does she mean?" Dick muttered, slowly, throwing himself down on the grass and looking at Arthur fixedly. "I simply went there and back! Can you pro- pound the riddle, old chappie?" Cecil shook his head. "If it baffles you it completely confounds me," he said, and went towards the river, leaving his friend strug- i gling in the grasp of a tantalising and to him curious problem. After awhile Arthur turned round, but Dick had vanished. A little surprised, he came up the bank and gazed around him. "Dick," he called. "Dick! Richard, John Greville:" "What do you want, confound you?" Squirrel?" Dick was in the tree! Another sixty seconds and he was out of it again, and in his hand.s was a piece of torn white paper. "Listen, you fool," he cried wildly:- Dickie, boy, I'vÐ been an awful t-eas-e to you, and I've made up my mind never to tease you any more. I saw you talking to that Johnoon girl yesterday. Oh, Dickie, if you. promise iaithfuily never to &peak to THAT again I'll—I'll— "I'll be hanged if I read you any more, Arthur!" Arthur seized his hand and wrung it ha-rd. "Congratulations, old fellow," he said. "She's a. fine girl." "Do you think SQ, really?" "Yes, but I shouldn't let her call me Bruin." "I don't caxe what she calls me so long aa —oh, come along you infidel, I'm hungry." "Youre is a sensible passio.n, Dick, if you are hungry on it," said practical Arthur, as they linked arms tightly together and departed as they bad come. "I hope Dickie hasn't got sense enough to understand what I mean," muttered Milly to herself. "I dcn't thiniK-1 don't think I wish I I'd done it now." So like a girl was Milly.

"WIHELESS" ALL THE WAY "
"WIHELESS" ALL THE WAY The growing utility of wireleos telegraphy on ocean liners ha*; ibeen demonstrated once more by the experiences of th-e officers of the White Star liner Adriatic, which has just flnislied the westward passage. The vessel has a strong equipment for M<arconigrams, and on this voyage attempts were made to effect a complete junction of messages between, land and land. These attempts were completely successful, for the signals from Ire!a.nd had not been lost when the signals from the American aide of the Atlantic were picked up. By this means the Adriatic was in comTnumcatioTi with land i Marconi stations throughout her voyage. This was a great satisfaction to the passen- gers on board, for most inclement weather was experienced, high winds and seas being only varied by{ stretches of fog.

Youthful Desperado I
Youthful Desperado I SAID TO HAVE STOLEN S460. I A remarkaible tally of crimes was laid to the charge of Francis Glaze, a boy of eleven, and small for his age, who was remanded for a week at Preston yesterday on a charge of not being under proper guardianship. This youthful desperado, the chief constable told the oourt, Waf- the head of a band of boy thieves who robbed letter and pillar boxes. On Sunday alone the prisoner had thus obtained X460 in cheques and postal orders, and on another occasion X60. His smallness helped him in his career of crime, for, said Detective Woodacre, his hand was so small and his arm so thin that he could thrust them through the openings in the boxes and abstract their contents. His plunder he hid in a cellar underneath his I school and in crevices in different parts of the town.

.Born in Holloway Gaol
Born in Holloway Gaol FRENCH ATTACHE'S APPLICATION A remarkable application was made yester- day in the Divisional Court of the King's Bench Division. Mr. Horace Avory, K.C., applied on behalf of M. Andre Delombre for a rule nisi for & certiorari to quash an. affiliation order made by the West London magistrate. Counsel said his client was a French subject, and an attache at the Minis- try of Agriculture in Paris. The suit against him was brought by a Frenchwoman named Fouqualt. The ground of the application for the rule was that 51. Delombre was never served with the summons, and that the magistrate, therefore, had no jurisdiction. It was also claimed that the woman did not reside within the jurisdiction of the magistrate within the meaning of the Statute, and again th-&t apiplioa-nt did not return to England within twelve months after the birth, of the child. The birth took place in Holloway Gaol, where the woman was incarcerated prior to I being charged with throwing vitriol over the gentleman and injuring the sight of one of' hie eye, Following that event, continued coniisel both parties went at different times to Paris, and nothing was heard of the matter until August, 1908, which was more than twelve months after the birth of the child. In that month M. Delombre came to Eng- land on duty, and the woman appeared to have followed him, and to have resided within the area of the police-court for a certain time in order to come within the jurisdiction of the court. Their lordships grant the rule.
A MODEST LION-KILLER I
A MODEST LION-KILLER Captain Geoffrey Buxton, who shot three lions in fifteen minutes, treats his exploit in a modest manner, and as though it were an ordinary event in everyday life. He was! in the Kedong Valley, not far from Naorobi, soon after daybreak, when the exciting in- cidents oocurred. Suddenly a lion emerged from the bush, and after receiving a rapid shot disappeared. A second lion came upon the scene almost immediately, and Captain Buxton ohiot it in the throat. Afterwards both lions were found dead, lying across each other, not far from the scene of the encoun- ter. The next engagement was with two lionesses, one of which was shot in the shoul- der. She eontinued to run from her ass-ail- ant, but when Captain Buxton followed she turned and charged. Captain Buxton was fortunate at the critical moment in lodging a shot in her mouth, and his third victim fell dead.

Matinees will be held on* Wednesday and Saturday afternoons.
I HORSES AND NATIONAL SAFETY
I HORSES AND NATIONAL SAFETY In spite of the pleasant promise of the awakening of the War '^lice to the necessity of effectively meeting foreign competition in liorsemansi-iip and jumping, I am afraid (f,ays the Bystander") that we have not advanced much regarding an infinitely more important matter. I allude to a practical scheme for the national encouragement of horse breeding. This is surely a vital ques- I tion, and one which might well be suggested with others by "An Englishman's Home. This may be the age of the motor-car, but the Transvaal War showed that horses can I still be an immense factor in modern war- fare. An Empire might be lost for the lack of horses.

"What a superb place to live in," he remarket} tp the farmer. "Ou, aye," he answered, "it's a' right; but hoo wad ye like to walk fifteen mile ilk a time ye wanted a wee glass o' .whisky?" "Why don't you get a bottle and keep it in the house?" Sir James suggested. The farmer shook his head sadly and said, "Whisky won't keep." 1

WAGES TWOPENCE AN HOUR At an inquest at Brentford yesterday on Mary Miles, a married woman, who was seized with illness while working in a market gar- den on Wednesday, it was stated by Dr. Neil that death was due to rupture of a blood vessel of the heart caused by exposure to cold. Questions by the coroner elicited the information that the woman was acous- tomed to work from 7.0 a.m. to 5.0 p.m. in the winter for 10s. a week and in the sum- mer from 6.0 a.m. to 6.0 p.m. for 12s. a week, a. juryman pointing out that this represented a, wages rate of twopence an hour.
BABY AND THE KING
BABY AND THE KING Babieshave no shyness in the presence of the King, who is so genial and so easy with those about him. It was only a few weeks ago that his Majesty, staying in a country house with the Queen, consented solemnly to open a new doll's house for the little grand- daughter of his host. "Come on, King! Be quick!" said the mite, appearing, gold key in hand, at the ho-ar when the "opening" was to take place; and "come on" the King did.—"The Bystander."

I A Lunatic's Ruse. I I LADY ESCAPES IN MAN'S CLOTHES j The Metropolitan police are anxious to trace the whereabouts of a lady who escaped during the week from some attendants whilst, it was alleged, she was of unsound mind. While being taken through the city streets she suddenly eluded attention, and was lost in the traffic. This is the second occasion on which the lady has escaped from custody. A few weeks ago, while an inmate of an asylum in the west of England, she dressed herself in man's clothing, and suc- ceeded in getting clear of the institution. No trace of her was discovered until a few days ago, when she was found to be residing in the E.¡)J,t End. This is probably the Spanish lady who escaped her attendants near Lon- don Wall. She was wearing a large motor hat, a blue three-qua-rter coat, fUlr collar, and blue spotted blouse.

Whon the player is in hand, a cannon off the top cushion can be made by various kinds of strokes as regards the kind of con- tact and amount of side. For example, if the cue ball be spotted at the far end of the D much lese side will be required than is the case with the cue ball spotted, say three or four inches from this end, the kind of con- tact with the first object ball being presumed I DIAGRAM 566.—A cannon off the top cushion played with plenty of 9ide. Red ball 6in. from t-he side cushion and Msin. from the top cushion. Object white iin. from the side cushion and 18in. from the top cushion. Cue ball 3 or 4in. from the end of the D. Position for an in-off from the red may be obtained by means of a good-strength stroke. to be the same in each case. These parti- cular cannons from thp D are, however, less difficult when played with plenty of side tha,r. when played with only a. moderate amount of ekle, for when the angle is such that only a moderate amount of side is required it is no easy matter to impart just the right amount to the cue ball. If instead of striking the cue ball on the correct spot, it is struck only fractionally to the right or left of this spot too much side or too little side will be imparted to it. When, however, the angle is such that a player knows that the amount of side re- quired for the stroke is just about as much or nearly as much as he is ableto impart to the cue ball, he is less likely to go wrong than when, though having to play with side, he has not to impart to the cue ball any- I thing like the maximum amount of side which he is able to impart, for in the former case he plays the stroke with as much side as he can, whereas in the latter case he has I to gauge the amount. This question of a moderate amount of side as contrasted with plenty of side has its counterpart in screw strokes, for screw cannons or eorew m-offa are often much easier when they require plenty of screw, than when, though impos- sible at moderate strength without screw, they only require \ery little screw. The can- non shown on Diagram 586 should therefore be played with plenty of side and the cue ball should be spotted at an angle which will bte in accordance with the amount of side with which the stroke is being played. With the object balls situated as shown on Diagram 586 the cue bill should be spotted three or four inches from the end of the D, and from this spotting of the cue ball the cannon can be made by means of a stroke about half-way between quarter-ball and half-ball, played with plenty of side. The stroke should be played with drag. The first object ball will cross the table more as in- dicated by the intersected line, and though the exact direction of its line of travel will depend upon how full or otherwise it has been taken by the cue ban-the fuller the contract the higher up the table will it trav,el-a good-strength stroke will generally leave position for an in-off into the top pocket. DIAGRAM 587.—A cannon off the top and side cushions played wltn plenty of side. Red ball 9m. from the side cushion and 54in. from the top cushion. Object white 4in. from the side cushion, and 25in. from the top cushion. Cue ball at or near the extreme end of the D. Pcsition for an in-off from the red may Ibe obtained by means of a good-strength stroke. Diagram 587 shows a variation of the can- non shown on. Diagram 586. Owing to the second object ball being several inches away from the cushion the cannon can be maodeeithcr off the top cushion only or off the top and side cushions. It is, however, better to play this cannon off two cushions than off only one, for when played off two cushions the risk of the cue ball passing be- tween the cusnion ana me secuim ulli4mt, ball without touching this ball is very greatly lessened. The cue ball should be spotted at or near the extreme end of the D, and the stroke should be played with plenty of side and drag. A good-strength stroke will generally leave position for an in-off to continue with. Mr. Levi's artioles appear every Saturday in the "Evening Express." No. I 1 of this series appeared on October 3.

West Stanley Mine I
West Stanley Mine I SEQUEL TOTHE TERRIBLE EXPLOSION Disaster follows disaster for the unfortu- nate miners engaged in the West Stanley Colliery. As a sequel to the terrible explo- sion which last week caused the death of 168 boys and men comes the pathetic intimation from the owners of the colliery, Messrs. Burn, that they have been compelled to close the mine altogether on account of their heavy losses. In a circular issued by them last night to their workpeople they state that the pit has been operated at a heavy Ices in every year "but one since 1903. The Arm has carried on the colliery for three generations, and they make the present announcemen-t with great regret, bitt it is some consolation to them that the money lost has gone in the payment of wages. As the result of this notice about 240 men and boys will be left without employment through no fault of their own at a time when work is exceedingly difficult to obtain. This will mean a grievous trial for a small community which has already suffered so severely. The official inspect-ion to ascertain the cause of the explosion has been completed. The work was most arduous and difficult, and it is understood that the cause of the disaster has not been definitely determined.
!CARDIFF EMPIREI
CARDIFF EMPIRE It" is at the Cardiff Empire next week, and Miss Alice Pierce is it." So say the American public, so say the London public, so said the. Divine Sarah Bernhardt when, in her impulsive French manner, she enthusias- tically kiesed Miss Pierce after witnessing an "impression" of herself. Miss Pierce is an American, born in New York, and reared within the shadow of the stage. Not shfe doe3 not give imitation,s," but imp res- sions "—totally different things, as you will see next week. She will select from the following repertoire of star players—Sarah Bernhardt, Eleanora Ellen Terry, Irene Vanbragih, Edna May, Mrs. Patrick Campbell, Evie Greene, Mrs. Leslie Carter, Ada Reeve, Ellaline Terris, Julia. Neil son, Lena Ashwell. Beerbohm Tree, and Albert Chevalier. Prom her earliest years Miss Pierce gave evidence of strong histrionic abilities, and before she had lived long she was giving astonishing impressions" of psople she had seen on the American stage. She first appeared at four years of age as an ape in Rider Haggard's She," which takes the place of She after that lady has been eonsume.d in the flames. Then she played in "The Silver King," and made quite a reputation by her impersonation of "Little Lord Fauntleroy." She played a part in "A Man's Shadow," when the late William Terris made hia American tour, and when the famous playwright Gera-rd Kauptmann was about to produce "llannele" (translated), he ga-ve her the leading role, whioh the authorities prevented her from playing beoause she was not sixteen. Herbert Darn- ley's Company in "The Mandarin" will al-o appear. The I)elevines will repeat their former terpsichorean offering Flipp and Flopp," and others on the bill are Rex Fox, ventriloquist, on a tight wire; Adams and Ward, acrobatic comedians; the Coloured MJeisoors, excellent harmonists: Frances Letty, who will sing Does anyone want a ^irl?"; Jack Lane, Helen Forsyth, and the, bioscope.
IADVENTURE ON A STEAMER j
ADVENTURE ON A STEAMER j Frederick Graf, teacher of Iangua..ges in the Berlitz School at Belfast, was charged at the police-court in that city yesterday with forgery and conspiracy to defraud, The allegation against the defendant is that. trading upon the lack of' knowledge of Fra.ulein Ophale, a German governess, to whom he introduced himself in a Flushing- Harwich steamer in July, 190*7, he made love to her and induced her to transfer Ego from a Berlin bank to a bank in Belfast, and to send him authorisations to draw out the money. He is also alleged to have prccured Henrietta Criska (riot in custody) to per- sonate Fraulein Ophale at the bank. A further charge of obtaining C50 by fraud fromi Jacob Janetsky was .preferred, and the defendant was again remaaided.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM WITCH
THE BRITISH MUSEUM WITCH Speaking in London ye&terday, Mrs. St. Hill said that in many parts of England, even on the outskirts of London-, and par- ticularly in the west country, the belief in the power of witchcraft had IsuTvived to this day. A case of supposed witchcra-ft in Totnes, Devon, had come under her notice in which a -girl's arm, which a doctor said im-ust be amputated, had been healed by the wise man of Newton." As another instance of the survival of the power of witchcraft the lecturer quoted the case of the Egyptian mummy which the authorities of the British Museum had been obliged to remove. Every- ith the case that one who came into contact with the case that had held the body of the great witch queen suffered, even the policeman on duty.
ROYAL ITALIAN CIBCUS
ROYAL ITALIAN CIBCUS The entire change of programme which Mr. Edwin Gilley has arranged for Signor Volpi's Royal Italian Circus will undoubtedly result in a continuance of the crowded houses, and more especially as the last two weeks of the season end on March 13. Since the Queen patted Jumbo Junior, the children who throng the performances are anxious to do likewise, and the tiny elephant will now conduct a full four-footed orchestra, that is, a band of ten pony musicians, who will play selections with almost human skill. "Fasolin," the flying trapeze monkey, is billed to perform a sensational aerial flight that is beyond the skill of man. Another great item among the 200 performing animals will be a stirring court-martial scene. Mati- nees are again announced for each Wednes- day and Saturday.
THE MISSING PROPHET
THE MISSING PROPHET Gerald Henry Hickson, the missing Leeds weather prophet, has turned up at Sheffield, and a picture postcard addressed to one of his children has been received at his home in Leeds. Its contents are such that his wife feels assured it comes from him. Mrs. Hick- son stated some days ago that her husband was possibly walking home from London, and she thinks the postcard confirms her ex- pectation. There has been emphatic testi- mony to Hickson's remarkable knowledge of the weather phenomena since he disappeared in London a fortnight ago.
¡THE KAISER IN BOND-STREETI
THE KAISER IN BOND-STREET I The German Crown Princess placed a big order a few months ago with a, leading firm that owns a house in London as well as Paris (says "The Bystander"). Besides spend- ing some thousands on Directoire frocks, the Princess ordered S,3,000 worth of sables on the same occasion. She was delighted with her frocks when they reached her, but not more so than with some pink evening gar- ments made by a real live English dress- maker. Thtese the Kaiser, without mention- ing tibeenibjeot to anyone, ordered for her in Bond-street when last he was in London,
