"Oh! dear me. I forgot to give TUDOR WIL- LIAMS' BAL-SAM OF HONEY to my children before they retired to bed. I am certain they will <30UGH ALL NIGHT WITHOUT IT. There is nothing on the face of the earth equal to it; thoroughly up-to-date." In this damp and changeable climate Coughs and Colds are almost certain at some time during the winter to visit every household in the land. It would, therefore, seem only a wise precaution to keep on hand a bottle of TUDOR WILLIAMS' BALSAM OF HONEY ready for immediate use. Pleasant, soothing. healing, and a splendid tonic, it is certainly without an equal for the prevention and cure of troublesome coughs and in all throat and lung affections. Moreover, it does what no simple cough remedy will IJo-it promotes appetite, aids digestion, increases weight, and builds up the health and strength generally. It contains no opiate or other narcotic, and is perfectly safe even for the youngest infants. I am constantly receiving reports from all parts of the kingdom attesting its remarkable power to relieve and cure troublesome coughs. IT IS PRESCRIBED BY THE MEDICAL PRO- FESSION, and USED in the LEADING HOS- PITALS THROUGHOUT THE WORLD. BALSAM OF HONEY Contains PURE WELSH HONEY and on essence of the purest and most efficacious Herbs on the Hills of Wales, being gathered in the proper season, when their virtues are in full nerfection. A STIPENDIARY AND A MAGISTRATE IN THE COUNTY OF GLAMORGAN REMARKS:— I feel it my duty to inform yon that I have been using your Tudor Williams' Balsam of Honey in my family, which is a large one. for many years, and have proved its great value, having used nothing else for Cough during Measles. Whooping Cough, and Bronchitis, and can highly recommend it to all parents for such complaints." Try it: you will not regret it. « SEE YOU GET THE GENUINE ARTICLE.

.A STABLE MYSTERY.
A STABLE MYSTERY. By NAT GOULD. Author of "The Double E,-ent," "Settliag Day," "In Royal Colours, Ac., Ac. CHAPTER in. DETECTIVE DETHICK. The detective stood looking out of the window as Catteran Cresley entered the room, and the owner of Blue Blood caught sight of a tall, athletic man's back before he turned round and faced him. 'I am Leslie Dethick," said the new arrival. "and have been sent down from Scotland Yard to investigate a case of horse poisoning. You are Mr. Catteran Cresley. I presume?" "I am." said Catteran. "Take a chair, and we will talk the matter over." He liked the look of Leslie Dethick. The detective was a more powerful man than he apppared to be. Catteran thought. He was between thirty and forty years of age, with keen, penetrating dark eyes. and his somewhat dark complexion gave him a rather foreign appearance. He might easily have been mistaken for a good-looking, light- hearted Neapolitan. Not one man in a hundred would have guessed his occupation. much less have suspected him of being one of the smartest men in the Yard. He had been engaged in many complicated cases, and had never yet failed. His skill and integrity were undoubted. A kind-hearted man by nature. he was stern and inexorable when hunting down a criminal, and be never gave any quarter to the men he tracked with the perti- nacity of a bloodhound. For some moments there was silence between them. They were taking stock of eath other. When Leslie Dethick received his instruc- tions it did not take him long to scan the papers, run round to several sporting acquain- tance*. and find out how the scratching of Blue Blood would be received, for at that time the horse was not struck out. He soon learned that there had been a good deal of opposition to the favourite for the Cesarewitch, and the evening papers, in their later editions on the Monday, had learned the news that Blue Blood was scratchcd, and made sundry comments. Whatever suspicions he might have enter- tained were banished when he had thoroughly summed up Catteraji Cresley. He saw. with his well-trained, unerring judgment of men. that Mr. Cresley was a gentleman and a man of honour. "I shall believe every word he speaks." was the detective s inward comment. At his request Catteran gave a full account of all that had taken place. "Can I see Tom Burton?" said Leslie Dethick. "Certainly; I will send for him." said Oat- teran, ringing the bell and giving his orders when the servant appeared. "You have never had cause to mistrust this man. Burton?" "No; he is a peculiar fellow, sullen at times. but. so far as we know, honest and up to his work. My trainer, Ben Fitchett, has a high opinion of him." "Of course, you trainer is abyTe suspicion?" "Oa, /es.: and he was away whea it bar-, pened, as I have already told you." The detective smiled. He knew if Fitchett was mixed up in the affair his absence from the stables might have been part of the plan. "Fitchett is here if you would like to see him." said Catteran. "Thank you, I will see him." Ben Fitchett also favourably impressed the detective, but he did mot always rely upon appearances. Tom Burton had gone home in an angry frame of mind. He fancied Mr. Cresley sus- pected him. and he was, despite his disposi- tion. very sensitive. His wife tried to cheer him, and said she was sure Mr. Cresley was far too just to harbour any suspicions against such a good servant. When the message came for him to go to the house he said to his wife: "More cross-questioning, I suppose. I'll not stand much of it "Be careful what you say, and mind and be respectful." she said. "Mr. Cresley is a good master, and we know it." "Then why does he suspect me?" "I am sure he has mo suspicion against you. but he naturally wishes to find the culprit. Don't let your manner tell against you," said his wife. Tom Burton went off muttering, and his wife felt uneasy, not that she doubted him, but she knew his sullen manner and stubborn temper might create an unfavourable impres- sion. sion. When Leslie Dethick saw Tom Burton he thought: "He's a deep customer, but he looks honest." He cross-examined Burton until the head lad had some difficulty in keeping his temper. "You were the last person to see the horse, and you say he was all right when you left him." him." "Yes," replied Burton, grumy. "What time was it when you left the stables?" "Going on for eight." "Was there anyone about?" "Yes, the people were coming out of church." "Did anyone speak to you?" "Dr. Shortose bid me good-night, and asked if the favourite was all right." "And you replied?" "Yes; I have just done him up for the night." "Did the doctor make any reply?" "He only said good-night, and walked on." "Have you any suspicion who got at the horse?" "No, none in the least. I cannot account for it, but it must have been someone who knew the stables well, for only the small side gate was unlocked, and it has a pa,tent catch." Tom Burton was dismissed, but ordered to wait. "Well-?" said Catteran. questioningly. "Do you doubt Tom Burton?" asked the! detective. Catteran did not answer immediately, and Leslie Dethick said: "I Me you do, but I think you are wrong. He had no part in it, but he is the sort of man who would shield a friend if he acciden- tally discovered he had a hand in it." "That would be criminal complicity," said Catteran. "Call it what you like. He would not think it 80, if I judge him. rightly. Is he greatly indebted to anyone a boat here?" "Not that I know of; that is, no one in par- ticular. I believe Dr. Shortose pulled him through a dangerous illness some years ago. The doctor practised at Newmarket at one time." "Dr. Shortose is a friend of yours and owns Long Tom, who is now favourite, does he not?" "Yes," replied Catteran. "We had a, friendly wager of two thousand aside about our horses, Blue Blood against Long Tom, one to win. So I shall lose that." Leslie Dethick became interested. "Your friend, I presume, is well off, as be does not practise now?" he asked. "I should say eo; probably as well off as I am. or nearly so." replied Cafcfceraai. "If you have no -objection I will look roand L the stables with yonr trainer, and examute the eide gate with the patent catch." "Fitchett will show you everything. and I hope you will lay hands on the scoundrel or: scoundrels before long," said Mr. Cresley. "I will do my beet. I have never failed yet in a case I took in hand. I am interested m this stable mystery, and it will take some, solving, but I may find a clue before long," replied Leslie Dethick. He accompanied Ben Fitchett to the stables, and made a careful examination of Blue Blood's box, but there was nothing there to put him on the scent. The side gate he found had a peculiar spring fastening, and no one who did not know how it worked would be- able to open it. He tried himself, without success, until Ben Fitchett. explained how it acted.. From this it appeared that someone about the place, or who had a knowledge of how the gate opened, must have been concerned in the I nohblins of the favourite. He spent most of the afternoon there, and on returning to the house said he would go down to Newmarket for the races, as ha might possibly find a clue there. Catteran Cresley thought this unlikely, but. knew it would be better to let him work in his own way. "1 shall no doubt see you there," he said. Leslie Dethick was fairly puzzled at thia case. He did not kuow whom to fix his sus- picions on. Strange as it would have appeared to Mr. Cresley. he did not suspect Tom Burton of having a hand in it. but he had an idea. the head lad was concealing something, and knew more than he would tell. Ben Fitchett was an old and trusted servant, and there seemed no reason to doubt him. Still. one never could tell. and the detective knew from experience that some men arc esteemed most honourable until they have been proved rogues. Ben Fit- cbett had been in London on the Saturday and returned by the midnight train. If the trainer desired, he could have entered Blue Blood's box and no one been the wiser. Mr. Cresley had stated the trainer had gone up to town on some private business of hit own. which his master did not inquire into. Detective Detbick meant to trace Ben Fit- cliett's movements, if possible, and he did not think it would be a. difficult matter. On arriving in town he went to a well-known sporting rendezvous and there met Abel Gent, a well-known layer of odds. "You know Mr. Cresley's trainer by sight. I suppose?" he asked Gent. "Did you see him on Saturday? He was in town." "I met him here; in fact. I had a wager with him. He backed Blue Blood, took seven "ponies" about him. Ben does not bet. heavily," replied Gent. "Did he say anything about the horse?" "He said he had a good chancc, but the pric* was short, and in such a field it might be an oprn race. I asked him if he fancied Long Tom. Dr. Shortose's horse, and he said he would run well, but that Blue Blood held him safe." "Was anyone with him?" "Yes, some man I did not know; but I have seen him on the racecourses." "I suppose you know why Blue Blood waa scratched. Mr. Cresley has written to the press explaining it. and it will soon be public property," said Dethick. "I don't know that, but I do know that some of our fellows have been laying Blue Blood considerably over their books; they must have been 'in the know.' "The horse was poisoned, got at, on Satur- day night." Abel Gent smiled incredulously. "Who has stuffed you with that story? I don't believe it." "You will when you read "The Turf Daily" to-morrow," was the reply. Catteran Crcsley's letter to the press wag hot and strong, and he indignantly denied all the reports that had been circulated. "My horse has been foully poisoned, and if members of the ring have been overlaying 'him they must have had something to go upon. 1 shall leave no stone unturned to discover tne miscreant and hie aecom. plices. if any, which is probable. Blue Blood is under the care of Mr. Gerard Towle, whose certificate I enclose, and is not out of danger. I shall run Pancake for the Cesarewitch, hot I think the forlorn odds on offer represent hie chance." This letter stemmed the tide of public opinion against the owner of Blue Blood, and the press expressed sympathy with him. (To be Continued.)
AN AMERICAN INVENTION
AN AMERICAN INVENTION "Ive goi a new machine," exclaimed 4 Yankee pedlar, "for picking bones out of fishes. Now. I tell you, it's the best thing you ever did see. All you have to do is to set it on the table and turn a crank, and the fish flies right down your throat, and the bones right under the grate. "Well. there was a country 'greenhorn' got hold of it the other day. and he turned the cranK the wrong way; and. I tell you, the way the bones flew down his throat was awful; why, it stuck that feller so full of bones that be couldn't get his shirt oft' for a whole week."
WHAT KILLED THE BEAR
WHAT KILLED THE BEAR An Englishman and a Yankee were one day "swapping yarns" in a New York hotel. The Englishman related how on one occasion he was travelling in the Black Hills without fire- arms, when be saw a mountain lion coining towards him. The lion sprang at him, but, quickly dodging it. he caught it by the jaws, and held its mouth open till it starved to death. The Yankee, not to be outdone, told how he once met a grizzly bear, and as the bear advanced he raised his rifle to shoot it, but suddenly remembered he had no bullets. The sweat poured down his face, and, as it was freezing keen at the time, the sweat formed into little ice balls. Seising several of these, he stuffed them into his rifle, and Hred. The charge entered the bear's head, melted, and the bear died of water on the brain.

"Then there'll be no falling into my armc and calling me preserver, will there?" "Oh, no, no!" "And you won't insist on marrying me for my heroic conduct?" "No, no; only save me!" "All right, I'll tackle the job," he responded, as he threw aside hie coat. "You see." he explained, just before diving in. "I was caught by one o these dodges once before. a.nd that's how I come to be married. It makes me a. bit particular."
