LATE MRS. STUDT.
LATE MRS. STUDT. FUNERAL AT CARDIFF CEMETERY YESTERDAY. The interment of the mortal remains of Mrs. Studt, mother of Mr. John Studt, the well- krown amusement caterer, took place at tha Cardiff Cemetery on Friday afternoon. The death of the old) lady, as we have already reported, occurred' on Monday at Gloucester, where she and her son had "set up" for the time of the Glouces- ter Fair with their popular amusements. Per- haps in few places in the kingdom was the deceased better known or more generally respected by the townspeople than at Glouces- ter and when on Friday morning the funeral cortege left the Kingsholm Grounds for the railway station, en route for Cardiff, a large procession of old fl iends joined it, and the louseholders and shopkeepers along the route showed their mark of esteem by the customary putting up of shutters in the windows of their tenements. In fact, Gloucester was prac- tically in mourning. The train in which the fvneral party travelled arrived at Cardiff at five minutes after one o'clock, and the coffin was immediately conveyed to the hearse awaiting it outside the station. The sight presented was a most impressive one as the four horses drawing the glass panelled hearse, followed by a larfge number of mourning coaches and private cabs, proceeded at a walking pace down St. Mary-street. The chief mourners were Mr. John Studt (eldest son of the deceased) and Mrs. John Studt, Mr. and Mrs. Henry Studt, Mr. and Mrs. Jacob Studt, and eight grandchildren; Mr. end Mis. Henry Broxby, London; Mr. and Mrs. Henry Wools, London; Mr. William Savage, of the firm of Savage and Co., King's Lynn, Norfolk (makers of the machines used by Mr. Studt); Mr. and Mrs. John Gage, Gloucester; Mr. Charles Gage and Miss M. A. Gage, Gloucester; Mr. Fred Gage, Ponty- pool; Mr. Mid Mrs. John North, Pembroke; Mr. and Mrs. Samuels, Pembroke Mrs. Hanley, Pembroke; Mrs. Nail, Aberdare; Mr. Harry, Aberg-enny; Mr. Mackintosh, Pontypridd; Mr. Treharne, Pontypridd; Mr. and Mrs. J.

Tonypandy; Mrs. Whayman, Gloucester; Mr. James Whayman, Glouces- ter Mr. Wilson, Merthyr; Mr and Mrs. Morisco, Cardiff; Mr. E. Fletcher, Swan- sea; and Mr. J. Smith, Cardiff. The coffin was of English panelled oak with brass furniture and inscribed: -"Catherine Studt, died Monday, October 7, 1895, aged 81 years." The Rev. E. T. Reynolds, of the St. John's clergy, conducted the service, the body being laid in the family vault of the Studts.

WHOLESALE POISONING.)
WHOLESALE POISONING.) TWENTY-THREE CHILDfREN MUR- DERED BY A WOMANV A Central News telegram from Rome on Friday says: -A remarkable case of whole- sale poisoning is reported; from the little town of Aderno, at the foot of Mount Etna, in Sicily. Remarkable deaths of children have been reoeotly recorded, and to-day the police arrested a woman named Stimoli on the charge of having murdered them. The pri- soner made a full avowal of her guilt, con- fessing that she had poisoned no fewer than 23 young children, her object being, she declared, to avenge on tihte offspring of others, the death of her two sons. This confession of homicidal mania dioes not wholly obtain credence, and the police, suspecting other mlotives, have arrested seven alleged accom- plices.
MRS. LANGTRY'S JEWELS.
MRS. LANGTRY'S JEWELS. POLICE ARE IN POSSESSION OF A CLUE. The Press Association says: —A portion of the stolen jewellery belonging to Mrs. Langtry, obtained from the Sloane-street Branch of the Union Bank by means of a forged order, has been recovered. The articles found, though only constituting a small part of the whoie forty thousand pounds' worth, have, apparently, furnished the police with very important in- formation regarding the mystery of the theft. It would appear that the whereabouts of the jewels recovered was discovered by a gentleman who was in a position to recognise some of the stolen valuahlea Hatton-garden is the centre in London for the negotiation of costly jewels, and the presence of such valuables in the market readily becomes common property amongst the merchants. Learning in the ordinary way of business, that the two very exceptional sapphires were in the market, the gentleman in question obtained an opportunity of examining them, and he im- med'iately took (steps to communicate his suspicions that the two stones belonged to Mrs. Langtry's collection, to those engaged in searching for the property.
THE RAILWAY RACE.
THE RAILWAY RACE. MIDLAND RAILWAY TO TAKE UP THE (RUNNING-. A Derby correspondent understands that the Midland and Glasgow and South-Western Com- panies contemplate an early response to the challenge of the East and West Coast companies, who have lately reduced the time of the journey between London and Glasgow to eight and a half hours. Engines are being made with a view to considerably accelerating the speed of the Glasgow day express in each direction, and the possibility of running between Leeds and Car- lisle without a stop is being considered. The pressure of Scotch and London customers is said to be the reason that has induced the Midland to reduce their present running time. t

"GENERAL" BOOTH'S TOUR. SPLENDID RECEPTION IN NEW ZEALAND. A Reuter's Wellington (New Zealand) tele- gram on Friday says :—" General Baoth, of the Salvation Army, has arrived here from Cape Colony. Vast crowds of people assembled to welcome bim, and he was received on landing by the Governor and municipal authorities. Crowded meetings were afterwards held at the Opera House, where lectures were delivered on the General's seoial scheme last night. The Hon. R. J. Seddon, Premier, presided, and the other Cabinet Ministers and a number of mem- bers of Parliament were also present.
RAILWAY BRIDGES.
RAILWAY BRIDGES. THE CARLYLIAN SOCIETY'S ASI. TATION. A reply has been received by Mr. Isaac Watts, secretary to the Roath Carlylian Society, Cardiff, in answer to the memorial sent to the Secretary of State anent the condi- tion of Bute-street Bridge. The letter states that the Secretary of Sitate was unable to comjply with the prayer and the memorial with reference to the alleged dangerous character of the railway bridges in Cardiff, as the matter was not one in which lie had any iurisdiction. It appeared to be a question. over which the local authority alone had control. He had, however, forwarded the memorial to the Board of Trade. A letter was subsequently received from the Board of Trade railway department asking to be supplied with two copies of the memorial with reference to the Bute-street Railway Bridge. Replies have not yet been received from all the private persons who have been asked to interest themselves in tile matter, but Sir W. T. Lewis has written Mr. Watts, saying, "I am sorry I cannot do more than acknowledge receipt of yours of the 17th inst., with enclo- sure. as to the subject of which I am perfectly powerless."

MR. TENNYSON SMITH. TEN DAYS' TEMPERANCE MISSION AT WOOD-STREET CHAPEL. A social gathering, at the invitation of Mr. John Cory, J.P., was held at Charles-street Congregational Schoolroom, Cardiff, on Friday night, for the purpose of welcoming Mr. E. Tennyson Smith, the well-known temperance advocate, who is to-night (Saturday) opening a ten days' mission at W ood-sitreet Chapel. Mr. Smith, who has just returned from Australia, poHseasea a wonderful memory, and, owing to this fact, makes a feature of re-delivering some of the famous orations of J. B. Gough, under whose influence at Carnarvon Mr. Smith him- self became a total abstainer. At tonight's meeting Mr. Smith will deliver from memory the oration, "For the Sake of Others," which eo forcibly affected his own career, and he will also give several of Gough's humorous stories which used to convulse his audience with laughter. The meetings will be continued every evening till Sunday evening, October 20, while a special women's meeting will be held at the Y.W.C.A. Hall, Charles-street, next Wednesday afternoon.

T^=5 Wl leathered from Gwalia PPNT PABAGRAPHS OF THE PRINCIPALITY. Column of Notes and News of IBersons and Places of Interest and Instruction for Old and Youngs I The Bishop of London during his visit to $iwms€a was the guest of Sir J. T. D. Llewelyn «t. Penllergaer. Among the things expected at the Cardiff County Council on Monday is a big debate on the question of the site which the new Town- :.ha.ll committee now suggest should be obtained :in the Cardiff Arms Park. One of the biggest of Maori schools—they tare all maintained by the State—lias a Welsh- man in charge. He is Mr- T. Morgan, for- merly master of the National Schools, Llanelly. Fifteen hundred Maori pupils .answer to his call. Principal Rhys, of Oxford, enjoyed a drive -through Grower on Thursday, and afterwards spoke highly of the scenery. Speaking of an js; old cromlech down there, he referred to the r superstition that St. David had split it in two with his sword to show that there was nothing in it to inspire worship. When an alderman's son was "landed' by his father at the Swansea Baths on Thursday night with a ten-foot rod he said he felt like a fish out of water. It was said that they ouarrelled over the old saying about there being "a fish at one end, &c." because they couldn't settle amicably which was the fish. The Siwansea bakers on Monday last raised the price of bread jd. per loaf, and the same day a thrifty housewife entered a baker's shop and asked for a 41b., for which she put down 4d. On being told that bread had risen jd. loaf from that day, she. mildly asked for one baked on Saturday, thus (remarks the "Post") evading the advance. In going to the Chester teetotal conference to talk facts Mr. Marchant Williams poked his stick into a hornet's nest, and the buzzing about hi" fars now must be àeafening. Nonconformist ministers and other abolitionists, as well aii the vernacular papers, are scolding bim with all the vigour and picturesqueness of h, language of an irate fishwoman on market f day. j One of the most successful disturbers of the peace of the football world has again started 011 his work of prophesying in the columns of the London "Star." This prophet of good and evil says that Newport to-day will play Moaeley Hind, ihat Cardiff will roil over Glou- cester, that Penarth will mal.p Neath feel ill. t and that Swansea will put Llanelly out of 't' eight. ?'I 1MJr-. J. Jones* Pughe, of Pontypridd, the successful candidate for the post of solicitor to the Welsh Baptist Union, is a native of MaohynlMih, Montgomeryshire, and a nephew of the Rev. Eva.n Jones, of Carnarvon, the well-known pulpit orator. Mr. Pughe was educated at the University College, Aberyst- wyth, and he may be added to the pretftv long list of energetic young men that institution has produced. Had Will Bryan, of "Rhys Lewis" fame, been in the Dr. Parry concert at Maesteg, he would have shouted out his familiar phrase, "True to Nature." Misa Ceinwen Jones. R.A.M., London, and! Mr. John Lewis, Cardiff, .vere singing, to the delight of the large and respectable audience, "Oh that we two sat dreaming," and "Cochfarf," J.P., was sitting asleep against the Hon. Anthony Howell, i.Amerio&n Consul, Cardiff, who presided. In due "Working Day" com/petition of the "New Age," which, by the way, has become the property of Mr. Fletcher, late editor of the "Daily Chronicle," and named as Radical candidate for Cardiff, the prize for the best article descriptive or "hop life was divided between Mr. T. Spencer Jones, chair- man of the Cardiff Shop Assistants' Union, and another writer. The competition, says the editor, was an exceptionally stiff one. So good, indeed, were the papers sent in that he bad much difficulty in judging their merits. A well-known Welsh football referee has ?*old a Swansea "Post" man many stories, of which this one is a sample:—Scene: St. Helen's Ground; even and exciting game. One player to an opponent: "Look here, if you --do that again I'll kick your stomach out for you; Opponent (defiantly): "Come here; repeat those words in the presence of the referee." First player: "Yes, I will" (and does so). Second player (to referee): "Now, you 'have heard the threat. What are you going to do?" Referee (coolly): "After he has carried out the threat I shall order him off the field, and not before, because there's no jcule dealing with such a threat as that. A long and discriminating and sympathetic article on the Llanelly Eisteddfod finds a place in Le Menestral," a Paris paper. It is written by M. O. Berg-gruen, and it contains a perfect curiosity, namely, a French translation of the Welsh Marsellaise, "Hen Wlad fy Nhadau — o pays de mas peres, o pays des hommes libres, Que tes poetes et menestrels sont doux! Tes guerriers courageux, obeissant a la Liberte. Sont tombes dans le combat pour leur vieux pays. Gallee, Galles! Je t'aime, o mon vieux pays! La mer est un rempart autaur de ton sol, I 8i longtempe que ta. VTieille langue o chers roohers des Cambriens, pays du barde, Chaque vallee, chaque montagne est chere a mon cceur, Le bruit des rivieres qui coulent vers la mer Est une melodie chantee par des langues d'or. Galles, Galles! &c. Malgre les ennemis qui nous ont enchaines. Notra belle vieille langue existe toujours. Le barde ne s'est pas tu sur l'ordre du tyran, Ni la douce harpe natale. Gallee, Galles! &c. A pathetic incident was witnessed on +hp, Great Western Railway platform at Cardiff last night. A man, well-laden with liquor, was trying hard to get on an automatic weigh- ing-machine. He could see the foot-stand right enough, but he always managed to shoot about two feet wide. After skirmishing round for a few minutes he paused, rested one hand on the machine, and vainly tried to put a foot on the stand, but it came down on the railway platform every time. Then he grasped the machine firmly with both hands, and laboriously olambered to his place. But he couldn't for the life of him drop the penny an the slot. There were slots all over the machine and half-way up the station, but, somehow, he couldn't get the right one. Then, I calling to someone in the crowd which stood around, he said, with much difficulty and many pauses, punctuated by hiccups, "Ere, pud this benny in yh shlot. Want t'know what I weigh when I'm full." Welsh mountains have lately been scaled by Cne of the notable mountain-climbers of the raesen* time, namely, Mf. Haskett Smith, and ha has written a very interesting book about it. Of course, he deals with the black lis* of catastrophes, and relates the mysterious disaster v/hich overtook Mr. Kendal twenty years ago. He left Gwynant Valley to ascend Snowdon. Nothing was heard of him, but a pair of boots containing stockings marked with his name was found nearly three weeka afterwards on the edge of the lake Llyn Llydaw, which is, of course, considerably distant from and beneath the summit. Ten days later his body was found, uninjured, on the ridge called Crib-y- JDdysgl. It was not precisely stated on what part of Crib-y-Ddysgl the body was found, and cothing transpired as to the condition of the feet; but it is simply amazing to anyone fi-.rr.iliar with the character of the ground that .a bare-footed man should ever have got so far. I Why he did it and how he did it will always Temain among the mysteries of Snowdon." The lot of a Glamorganshire county coun- cillor may be honourable, but it is not always a happy one. To attend meetings members I often have to travel many miles and pay for their own refreshments, except at Bridgend Lunatic Asylum and at Howell's School for Girls at Llandaff. At a meeting of the governors I of this school on Thursday, Alderman Aaron Davies (who wae in the chair) suggested the diaeontinuanoe of the use of beer, the account under this head amounting to JB40 a year. or :£2 for each of the twenty offioials. Sir George Walker and other members pooh-poohed the suggestion, considering that the payment was extremely reasonable. The teetotal alderman refused to be mollified, and although he dropped the subject for the day he threatened to bring it on at the next meeting. A feature of the affair is that the members at these Llandaff meetings always have a recherche luncheon and drinks ad lib. (including wines and spirits), And they do not know who pays for them. A member confessed after the meeting that this iospwtality, for all he knew, might have come csn^^yf the JE40 a year.

A Shocking Experiment
A Shocking Experiment By Fredk. Boyle. There were excellent reasons—which have lost foroe nmy-for hushing up the story of the tire ab Portal Abbey. That Sir Geoffrey Steyne caused it was known in a very few hours, for several of Mr. Hudson's servants overheard his angry reproaches. But the facts have not been published, and they are worth noting. It was hinted at the time that the Steynes ha-d never forgiven the purchasers of their ancient seat. This is absurd. The families were friendly enough till, thirty years ago, Mr. Hudson, father of the present, began to "improve'' the Abbey. Among other dread- ful deeds, he transformed! the private chapel into a, billiard-room. Sir Herbert Steyne took proceedings, under an old statue, to prevent this outrage; but he had to drop the action, finding himself unable to prove that the building had ever been consecrated. Then the acquaintance broke off, naturally. As a. matter of fact, I believe that none of the present generation had so much as seen each other until this sto:y opened. Sir Geoffrey Sfceyne, his fortune recruited by a long minority, spenrb abroad for the most part, led a shooting expedition from tfte Zambesi right up to the domain of the East African Company, where Captain Hudson, R. K., was surveying at the time. A quarrel arose with the natives—the camp was at- tacked—and Hudson arrived only just in time to save the party. He spent hut a few hours in their company, sen'ding them down to the coast next day under escort; but Sir Geoffrey's character struck him. "I never saw such a fellow," he wrote home "it's absurd to suppose he was drunk; a a runlet n man doesn't fight in that way, especially when wounded in half '& dozen places. But if it isn't anything spirituous which now.; in that boy's veins, it's quick- silvor." And he proceeded to details which interested his sister Madeleine. She was not a pattern young lady—much too fond of fun, ■ which seemed all the more delightful if it had a spice of mischief. Some weeks afterwards Sir Geoffrey reached England, and called on the family of his preserver. The conversation opened with all decorum. But when the young man had ex- prds.'iedi lias thaivks—very nicely, too—he broke Loose, just as Captain Hudson described. I have no space for samples of his humour, which, in truth, was little more than the outburst cf abnormal vivacity, amusing enough to ^ny hearer, but especially to young people as tlioughtkss and as ready to laugh 33 Madeleine-—not adapted fo1" tran- scriptioni however. That sort of man makes acquaintance rapidSy. George Hudson begged him to call whenever he had time, and Made- leine seconded the invitation with her eyes. When he had! gone she looked at her brother, and both laughed. Mr. Hudson expressed her thought. "So early in tht afternoon he murmured. "Dear, dear such a fine young man, too The call was returned, of course. Then Lady Steyne madfe advances. Her son had passed the age when, as she thought, a young man of property ought to marry; but hitnerto, in the literal sense of the words, he had regarded no young lady seriously. Madeleine on her best heha.viour seemed a most desirable match, and she Iwas very pretty. So the acquaintance grew; not with Mr. Hudson's appro vail, but that signified nothing. As time went on, the first natural explana- tion of Sir Geoffrey's high spirits became rather doubtful. He refused to drink anv- thing besidto vater and tea. Most people would have felt quite sure that the suspicion was unjust. But Mr. Hudson had drunken- ness on the brain, as they say. He regarded that as the mainspring of events at large, public and private, in this realm of Engliund. And Madeleine, of course, had imbibed some- thing 01 his fancy. Sir Geoffrey was telling stories one day, when he was interrupted: "Do you mfan literally that you cm jump off a home going full gallop, and shoot an antelope right and left? Can vou do it in the park?" "Trot out the antelopes, and I will try." "That's not necessaiy. Let's us see vou jump off, and we'll imagine the antelopes. "Do you offer any prize ?" "Yes; I'll believe every word you say hereafter Oh this i3 the listener I have praved for from my youth up I .will reward you, Miss Hudson, with adventures never vet confided! to mortal. Where'-s the horse? Give me a Winchester, George, and I'll throw the shooting in. The brook meadow would be a good mate-shift for a veldt, I think." As they walked thither Madeleine began to quake; George overtook them with a groom and a led horse. "Oh, the wretched' boy has brought Ras- per," she excla.imed. "He's much too spirited!" "We take them as they come. Now, Migs Hudison, here is the first trial of the confi- dence you hare sworn." "You have not earned it yet "Well, if you're so punctilious, for a few minutes more you may cherish the fancy that those two objects," pointing, "a.re young tfrees, not ajitelopes." (Rasper approached, fretting and tossing. 'Oh, dont try it, please," Madeleine cried; "I'll aoceipfc your 'word. "Heaven will forgive you the fib, I hope. Now, George, the rifle f "I say There are men working yonder "Tell them not to get behind those young trees. A Winchester hits hard1!" Andi he sprang into the saddle. "Behind the trees George murmured. "Well, he has 3 cheek Madeleine wa.s white with alarm a3 Sir Geoffrey returned up the long meadow full gallop. He una lung the rifle—she clutched George's arm; nuddenly with a cheer he drew hi.*? feet from the stirrups-Madeleine saw no more But on the instant shots rang out, one after another, till the magazine was emptied. "Now, Miss Hudson! Sir Georffrey laughed. "Prepare to change aN your views about everything under my directions. You were cot frightened, surely? Why, Afri- kander bovs can perform that feat ten years old." "Then 1'2 not surprised their fathers beat us at Afaju'ba/ Hill," cried George. "Every bullet- hit." He galloped home and met them a.t the hall door with s. tankard. Sir Geoffrey de- clined it. "Are you a teetotaler ?" Madeleine asked, rather ironically. "I don't know; but I never felt an inclina- tion to drink anything but water." George whispered in a, stage aside: "My dear, ho haa began to reward you with thumpers already." Sir Geoffrey oniy laughed. That was the explanation, of coureo. But a. nV-y days afterwards Madeleine spent an afternoon "vith Lady Steyne, who, getting very hopeful now, recited her son's virtues among them was total abstinence. Madeleine could no longer doubt. Instantly a mischievous thought arose. If ho was no "lively on tea. a.nd water, what would be the result of a glass of champagne ? The very came idea struck George when she told him, and ?t the first opportunity he made an attempt. "My dear fellow," said Sir Geoffrey, "I daren't.' It would be like testing some new explosive of which one can't calculate the force." This comparison nvas not likely to deter George. Feeling himself unable to work the oracle, as he said, he urged his sister to try. She resisted, laughingly, though as curious a. himself to see the issue. The growing intimacy which delighted Lady Steyne alarmed Mr. Hudswun. He gave Sii Geoffrey a hint—A pretty strong one. Now this young man, though easy and careless, had an intense pride of family, and at the bottotm of his heart lay an undying grievance against the men who h<ad not only bought the home of his forefathers, but had vulgarised it. Some sharp wordfJ passed. He chanced to meet George on leaving and toM him. George told his sister, requesting Sir Geoff- rey to wait. A small domestic row followed, and poor Mr. Hudson, sent an apology. Meantime the afternoon turned out wet; George prevailed on him to stay to dinner— "just to show there was no ill-feeling." ''It's the first time I have dined here." Geoffrey murmured as they sat down. "? ask myself, ia it to be the last?" "Oh!" Madeleine cried, "here's the por- tent Sir Geoffrey Steyne feels miserable. Fill his gtias, George. It naust not be said that you were really -misera-ble for tlie first time in your life at our table. I insist, Sir Geoffrey "Please, let ma off i I don't know what the consequences may be." "The natural consequences of a glass of wine are clieerfuilnes3," said George. "Drink and forget your cares." Hiis sister suspporljedj hiimi with merry malice. Sir Geoffrey shook his head, but obeyed. The result? TTAS ail they had ho-ped, and more—for a time. Cheerfulness returned •with a vengeance Mr. Hudson himself couid not stop hughing-th0 servants forgot their discipline. But Sir Geoffrey kept sipping. A child would scarcely have been 4, excited by the amount he dtank, but it was enough to upset that vivacious temperament. The 11 lively mood passed, and he talked earnestly on the affairs of the day-OIIl poli- tics, even on religon, speaking well on every theme. Dinner was long finished. Madeleine rose at length, surprised and delighted, but rather nervous' about the issue. The others adjourned to the billiard hall. Sir Geoffrey had not seen this apartment before. It was the family chapel, as has beer, said, desecrated by Mr. Hudson's father; but Mr. Hudson had himself lately re-fur- nished it in the style termed Oriental by up- holsterer. -with a dado of India matting, walls panelled with Turkish stuffs, and even the vaulted roof hidden by a ceiling of bam- boo. It was a building apart, but under the main wall of the abbey. Sir Geoffrey stood in the doorway, looking at the decorations with an air of passionate distaste. "This is where my forefathers used to worship! Did you leave any mark to show where the altar stood, Mr. Hudson? Ah, I see, that cue-rack indicates the spot. Very thoughtful and appropriate He ad- vanced. "One of my Ancestors was buried somewhere about. It's an interesting story. He lost his head on Tower Hill, and his widow brought home the body. You did not notice the gravestone, perhaps? Who oould regret a sacrifice of sentiment in view of a work of art like this?" And so on, with increasing bitterness. George, getting alarmed, called for brandy and ecda, in hopes that his mood would change once more. It did not—he began to IuA' £ "For Heaven's sake, don't talk so loud said George. "Madeleine;'s room is just above." But he was quarrelsome now. Mr. Hudson fied, angry and frightened, bidding his son to follow. George lingered a moment. "Do go, Steyne he urged. "We shall hardly pacify the governor now." "Pacify Pacify the shades of my fore- fathers Strip your gimcrackerv from their walls Burn it! Fire is the only purge for crime like this With eyes flaming he stalked to and fro, his tossed hair wet with perspiration. He was maa. George left the room 'hastily to consult. A moment afterwards the curtains were blazing. They flared up—panels and ceiling caught. All was flame and smoke in an in- j stant. Steyne ran out shouting—the passage was empty. George's words reculTed'I:a.deleine's room was just above. He ra.n on-a servants' staircase opened on his right. The smoke grew thicker as he dashed up, crying, "Made- leine Madeleine "In there screamed a maid, rushing past, Medeleine was throwing on the dress Just j discarded. He lifted her and fought his way down through the dense smoke, muttering prayers. AM was bustle in the passage be- low. As Sir Geoffrey appeared with Made- leine in his arms, Mr. Hudson was speeding by. "Villain he cried, "you shall answer for this "No, no, papa; it is all my wicked doing! I must answer for it!" That is the true story of the fire at Portal Abbey. The biilliard-room was burnt out, but its thick 1 walls and vaulted roof held the ames confined. Young Lady Steyne has tried no more shocking experiments upon her hus- band. ? ..? J_!AU_ miffl11"
