( Copyright,) SURPRISE INDEED. "Well, Holden, I expect we have been. chums long enough. You are now going to establish yourself in your family and are sure to forget a homeless wanderer like yours truly." "Battle along," was the reply. "But. you I are aware that part of your belongings are packed with mine. If ymt want them back you will simply have to fetch them from St. Audrey's." Reginald Dobnoud gare a little laugh. "Excuse me, I know you are the most faithful of friends, but I really must not come. Fancy your meeting your people after all this time. A stranger would be sadly in the way." I Jack looked thoughtful. "Well, it is a longish spell, fifteen years last spring. It was i ust after dear old mater died I got that spanking at School, and the governor was a little rough on me. But. I expect I felt sore all over on account, of mater, and that brute of a pedagogue chaffed me about the bit of black crape on my sleeve. The box on the ear ( I landed him might have made his blood tingle I ever after. I wonder on whom he vents his I spleen now perhaps on that poor little brat of a step-daughter. She seemed to me like a little I cannibal compared with our Puss, Puss must I be quite a lady now three-and-twcnty, if she is a day. I hope she is not married And that tiny bit of a baby that mother left behind, she must, I be a strapping lass by this time. I wonder what she will say to her vagabond brother. It's a good job we met young Jenkins from St. Audrey's, in Sydney, and that he gave me all the home news. Jack had been a struggling adventurer, until one or two strokes of luck had fallen to his lot, and now, a wealthy man, he was eager to return to his home, Dolmond came with him to Europe. Jack had coaxed him into the promise that he would follow close iu his wake to St. Audrey's. The sunburnt, handsome stranger, who walked from the platform with such homelike confidence, created some excitement in the neat little town. He turned into the main street and violently pulled the bell at a large house. I A servant opened and answered affirmatively to the question "whether the doctor was in ? Miss Madge, too ? Yes, sir, a trifle astonished. The stranger walked in without, further ado, and stepped into the dining-room. The door opened and seemed to admit a l whole flood of light; But only a young girl in a light-blue summer dress entered. Jack stretched out both hands. "Madge, little puss, yon are a beauty!" The girl shrank back. "Of course, you don't know me," he said. "I am Jack. Don't you recollect your brother Jack, who ran away fifteen years ago ? The girl, in bewilderment, drew away from him, and a querulous voice inquired "Before I ask you to leave my house, sir, will you say what you want hero ? Jack whirled round and beheld a tall, thin man in a padded dressing-gown and spectacles. For a moment the visitor was not less thunderstruck than his host. He beheld his old arch enemy, Dr. Bolton, the schoolmaster. "Am I not here at Dr. Holden* s?" he stammered. "Not in the least, whe reply. There was somethinicious about the old man, and when Jack asked his pardon, saying he had mistaken the house and requested Dr. Holden's new address, he only got the answer: "No affair of mine "Wish you good-morning. The young man was just about to let himself out of the front door when the girl came after him. You are Jack Holden ? "I am. I took you for my sister for a moment. You understand now ? She inclined her head. "Do you not remember an under-fed, over- l taught little girl of the name of Madge Wilkinson ? Jack started. Was it possible ? This superb beauty-the little girl he had just mentioned as "the little cannibal ] "Magdalen!" sounded the squeaky voice from within. She hastily scribbled down his father's new address, and disappeared. Jack walked back to the station. Somehow he was glad, he knew not why, that this Madgo was not his sister. "The train had left, and another would not start for two hours," the stationmoster informed him. But it was a pleasant walk of about an hour and a half to New Bank, and Jack at once decided for it,. He thought the people at the station had scanned him rather serutinisingly. He did not know that in the very train that had steamed out of the station just ten minutes before he came in, there had been another sunburnt traveller inquiring after Dr. Holden's address. The people at St. Audrey's knew very well that Jack Holden was coming home, for Tim Jenkins had cabled the information from Melbourne, and everyone was now wondering which of the two was which. At Ivydene, a pretty cottage, great prepara- tions were going on. A jubilant shout rang out. "There he i3!" And the two sisters rushed into the road up to the tall traveller, who had just turned into the gate with its large Welcome over it, and, flinging both arms round his neck, they cried Welcome, welcome home and one after the other the fresh lips were pressed against his. Reginald for a moment was entirely off his head. He had anticipated Jack's arriving Infqre him. Now these two innocent girls evidently had mistaken him for their brother. What should lie say, how facethepl after this ? With gentle force he freed himself. Ladies." he bp¡w, when loud laughter inter- rnped. him. The girls evidently thought that was? keeping the farce up. "Come in Come iu they cried. There is dad!" It was going too far. w s'yn\ Ulu not your brother," he gasped. 1- A scream followed, and the sisters flew back to the house, leaving him in the middle of the (garden path where a venerable-looking man came to meet him. "Madge, Lilly,' what is this? Jack, Jack, my son-" "Excuse me, dear sir," Reginald said, with a constrained voice, "I.seem to have come at an unfortunate hour. I am not Jack, only his friend. The old gentleman looked disappointed. "If Jack's friend then, not the less welcome," he replied, gently. Reginald followed the doctor into the bright, festive room, mentally resolved just to wait for Jack and then to cut away as soon as he could. He told the old gentleman about their parting m London a few hours before. Both were conjecturing all kinds of things, and RegMiald offered to run back to St. Audrey's to inquire after Jack. He had left about a quarter of an hour. The sisters, crestfallen, walked up and down the garden path behind the house. The doctor tried to overcome his uneasiness by eadmg. Suddenly laughter, shouting, scream- ing, sounded m his ears. He rushed out and found both his daughters in the arms of a bronzed-cheeked, brown-bearded man, this time not kissing him, but smothered with his kisses. There was no mistake now; this was the genuine Jack. Reginald sent a note in the afternoon from the Hotel at St. Audrey s but the old doctor went h; • to fetch him. The little tension between him and the girls soon wore off and one evening, when he walked with Madge in the shrubbery, he began: You know, I got something from you which I have not yet given back." She hung her head. "Won't you take it now ? His lips were gently pressed on hers. "Now we are even, Madge, but shall we not begin a new account ? Her answer is not recorded. But in Dolmond Hall eager preparations are being made for a new mistress. Among Madge Holdcn's chosen friends a fair girl with large, intellectual eyes, plays a prominent figure. Jack has even con- descended to pay a formal visit to the "old curmudgeon," Dr. Bolton. His step-daughter will be bridesmaid together with Lilly Holden before long. Jack is going to settle down at St. Audrey's, and it is remarkable how he and Madge Wilkinson both agree in an absurd delight at the fact that he is not her brother, nor she his sister. C. L.

THE COKONATION. LOCAL CELTBRATIONS. AMLWCH. The inhabitants having postponed the festi- vities on the 26th June, the event, was duly celebrated' on Saturday. The town was gay with bunting, and tlie day was one of general rejoicing. BANGOR. A thansgiving service was, held on Saturday in the Cathedral. The streets of the city were gay with the bunting and other decorative material displayed, but there was no public func- tion. The colleges, of course, were closed, and the students and professors away on vacation, and the civic recognition of the Coronation ceremony had previously taken place. BEAUMARIS. A special service was held in the Parish Church, on Saturday morning, at which the officiating clergymen were the Rev T. Lloyd Kyffin (rector), and the Rev H. J. Morgan (curate). The Church bells were pealed, and bunting was profusely displayed in the town and on the yachts moored on. the station.

An elaborate programme was carried through with grett, enthusiasm, the Royal salute being given from over 1500 rock-cannons at nine in the morning and these salutes were given at in- tervals during the whole day, over 6000 shots being fired. Religious services were held' at the chapels, and the Coronation service at St. David's Church. At two o'clock processions started from Tanygrisiau and Fourcrossas, and met at Newmarket-square. They were led by the Royal Oakeley and Festiniog Silver Band respectively. From the square the procession went through the main streets, and returned to the square. The procession consisted of yeo- manry, tradesmen, the fire brigade, the am- bulance corps, the Urban Council, county coroner (Mr R. 0. Jones), friendly societies, and the general public. On the square both bands played selection's. The Moelwyn Male Voices, under the baton of their venerable leader, Mr Cadwaladr Roberts, sang twice the Corwen Eisteddfod: prize pieces. Stirring ad- dresses were delivered by Mr Owen Jones and the Revs D. Richards, David Roberts, and D. Miall Edwards. The Coronation Anthem was rendered with excellent effect by the Oakeley Band, and the combined bands played1 "God Save the King." A daylight display of balloons was given. The town was decorated with, banners, mottoes, i&c.. very extensively, and large arches were erected! and illuminated with elec- tricity. The day was observed1 as a holiday in all the quarries, and the shops were closed at noon. In the eve-ning there were many large bonfires, and! a display of fireworks. CARNARVON. There were no public rejoicings at Carnar- von on Coronation Day, for they had taken place in June. Services were, however, held at Christ Church, conducted by the Rev J. W. I Wynne Jones, M.A., the vicar, and at Engedi Chapel, where a short address was delivered by the Rev Evan Jones, the King's proclamation being read by the Rev J. E. Hughes, M.A. There was a plentiful show of bunting, and in the evening a bonfire on the top of Twthill. Here a big crowd had collected, and they watched the bonfires and fireworks in Anglesey and on the Carnarvonshire Mountains. Monday was ob- served as a general holiday in the town, and all the business establishments of the town were closed. COLWYN BAY. On Saturday, Station-road and other principal streets were aflame with colour, and the pre- mises of all the businesses which could be sus- pended without inconvenience to the many visitors in the town were closed for the day. At half-past ten o'clock a Coronation oak was planted in the grounds of the proposed Town Hall, in Conway-road, by Mrs Parry, Llys, in the presence of the councillors and members of the Coronation Committee. A Sunday School procession marched from the East-parade to the Promenade, headed by the Old Colwyn Silver Band, Mr Thomas Parry being the marshal-in- chief. On reaching the Promenade the National Anthem was sung, under the conductorship of Mr J. O. Davies, and some speeches were delivered. Later on a swimming competition and aquatic i entertainment took place, Professor Osbourne giving an exhibition of fancy swimming. Coronation mugs were presented at the various schoolrooms to the children and, aged people. j Sports for children under twelve years of age were held at six o'clock on the beach, under the ■J charge of Mr S. Glynne Jones, Miss Williams, andi othei s. A decorated cycle and lantern J parade, for prizes, took place at eight. o'clock, j when Mrs Smith and Mrs Nunn adjudicated' upon i the winners of the prizes offered to ladies, and i Messrs J. Dicken and J. T. Taylor discharged » similar judicial functions in regard to the gentle- men's section. Subsequently a lantern pro- | cession wended its way along the Promenade, the marshals being Messrs Geo. Duckers, J. D. Cart- meil, W. Jones (engineer), and W. Ll. Evans. A patriotic concert was given at the Pier n Pavilion. CONWAY. Conway was on Saturday in gala dress, and '• above each of the towers of the castre floated! a i gay banner, including the Royal ensign of the constable, Mr Albert Wood, mayor. The trades- men and others had gaily decorated their premises, and banners were flying in all direction. I The decorations at the Castle Hotel were beauti- ful. In June the only part of the, programme, previously prepared' with much elaboration, which was carried out was the tea to the children and aged people, with services of intercession in the church and castle. On Saturday the remain- der of the programme was carried out, including fervent services of thanksgiving in Carmel Chapel (C.M.), by the Nonconformists, when the Revs T. Gwynedd Roberts, W. Edwards, T. Jones Humphreys, and) R. Menai Francis, I officiated, and in the Church, for all who desired 1 to accompany the Mayor there, the Vicar officiating. There was a procession in the afternoon, followedl by sports on the Morfa. The following were the events :—100 yards (handicap) race 1, E. Jones; 2, J. 0. Davies; 3, H. Lan- caster. Boys' race (300 yards) 1, David Jones caster. Boys' race (300 yards) 1, David Jones 2. Pritchard'; 3, W. R. Jones. Half-mile race 1, J. 0. Davies; 2, T. Jones; 3, H. Lan- ( caster.

Grif- fith, Dr R. A.Prichard's house, and th Stanley Buildings, etc., were illuminated very effectively. The Suspension Bridge was supposed to have been lighted with 3000 lights, but owing to the high wind it was not the success anticipated, and the same remark will apply to the fireworks. The Worcestershire and Warwickshire Brigade was encamped on the Morfa at Conway until Sunday for the annual training, and on Saturday morning there was a general parade for the pur- pose of celebrating the Coronation. Under the command of Brigadier-General Lloyd, the two regiments formed up in square on the golf links, and a service was conducted by the Rev C. P. Thomas, late chaplain to the 1st V.B. the Wor- ester Regiment, but now an Army chaplain at Alders-hot, after having seen active service during the South African campaign.—A short address was given by the Rev W. Ivens, vicar of St. James's. Edgbaston, and the chaplain to the 1st V.B. the Royal Warwick Regiment, in the course of which, he emphasised the fact of the I King's belief in the efficacy of prayer, as ex- pressed in his recent letter to his people. General Lloyd then presented war medals to some 60 I men forming the Special Service Company of the Royal Wanvicks for service in South Africa, and long service medals to half-a-dozen officers and non-commissioned officers of the Worcesters. Afterwards there was a march past and the firing of a "feu de joie." CRICCIETH. There was a great deal of bunting displayed in the town. Baloons were sent up, and tHere in the town.

Parry, Mr Ellis JJavies, Mr Ben Edmunds, Mr J. LI. Williams, Mr G. J. Hughe*, etc. In ithe evening, ait 7.30, a. cycle parade took place through the mtairt street. There was an excellent turn-cut, the characters and costumes being iu good taste, extraordinarily neat, and also singularly comical. The streets were al- most blocked by the numerous onlookers. The winners were:—1, Mr E. F. Evans; 2, Miss Ettie Hume; 3, Mr J. P. Jon¡,. Judges: Messrs J. F. Robe-its and Beal. ,-A, display of fireworks and illuminated boats on i.'he lake concluded the celebrations. Most premises were decorated with bunting; etc., during the day. and many were prettily illuminated ajfter dark. Tn the unavoidable ab- sen-e of Mr D. W. Thomas, hon. secretary, the wihoe of the arrangements were most ablv car- ried out by Messrs W. R. Jones and R. C. Symons, hon. sees, pro ;tem., and Mr G. Owen, treasurer. On Sunday, special services were heJd at iSt. Padarn's' Church, speicial Coronation anthems and hymns were rendered by :a first-class mixed choir, under the conductorship of Mr Williams, iBlaenyddol, accompanied by the organ, and as- sisted by several members of the Llanberis Or- chestral! Society. The service was conducted by tihe Rector (the Rev E. B. Thomas). LLANDUDNO AND DISTRICT. Llandudno having already recognised and for two days celebrated the "Coronation" of the King, as originally arranged, the events of Satur- day were comparatively unexciting. This is due to the fact that the season is at its height, and that tradesmen have their hands full in attending to the wants of the visitors. However, the local authority had decorated the front, antl hundreds of streamers and flags were flying in the breeze from Venetian poles. The St. George's Hotel was one mass of bunting, and presented a sight that was appreciated by all who witnessed it. The Imperial, The Marine, the Royal, and the North-Western Hotel, were also gaily decorated —some of them bearing suitable mottoes. In Mostyn-street several tradesmen made a display, conspicuous among them being Messrs Edward Owen and Sons, Mr J. Jones and Sons, Limited, Mr Wiley, Mr Slater, Mrs Wagstaff, Mr Sum- ner, Mr Arnold-, The Maelgwyn Hotel; Mr R. Roberts and Sons, Mr John Hughes and Son, Mr R. Roberts (draper), the Mostyn Estate Offices, etc. In the evening, several premises were illuminated which added; to the attractive- ness of the scene. The two boats bought for the previous rejoicings were set on fire in the bay, but the procession of illuminated boats did not come off. The prizes for the best ilhiminated houses were awarded as follow:—1, Wave Crest; 2, Queen's Hotel; 3, Glanymor House. Mr T. P. Davies, of the St. George's Hotel, had arranged for a Coronation dinner on Satur- day might. Every seat at the tables was occupied', the company numbering about 150. The catering was excellent. The tables were luxuriously set, andi the walls most tastefully decorated. A feature of the decoration was an illustrated flag, which was prepared by relatives of Mr Davies, for the King's Head dinner, on the occasion of the Coronation of Queen Victoria on the 28th June, 1838. During dinner the organ pealed off merry music. Before the company rose Inspector General Breaky, R.N.. proposed! in most suitable terms, "The health of his Majesty King Edward VII." The toast was most enthusiastically honoured, the National Anthem being rendered, and Mr Whitworth Mitton, the well-known tenor, taking up the solo of the second verse. Mr Gerard F. Cobb presided at the organ. The health of her Majesty Queen Alexandra, proposed' by Alder- man T. B. Wood', J.P., was also enthusiastically honoured'. From an early hour the bells of Holy Trinity Church pealed) forth their merry music. The Rev Robert Williams, B.A., conducted a Corona- tion service, and' the music was that specially composed by Handel for the Coronation of Queen Victoria. Mr Dee was the organist. LLANFAIRFECHAN. The Coronation festivities were carried out when the King was pronounced out of danger, but on Saturday there was a gay display of de- corations, and many places of business closed, though others were perforce open to meet the requirements of the visitors. In the evening a number of houses and places of business were illuminated, and there was a. display of fire- works, the cost of which was defrayed with half the surplus from the other celebration, the balance being paid over to the nurees's fund. LLANGEFNI. Flags, and) banners were pretty generally dis- played, but there was no demonstration, as the Coronation festivities' had been celebrated! ini June. A service was held at the Parish Church at eleven: o'clock, and was well attended, the rector, the Rev H. L. James, officiating. Some of the business premises were dosed, from noon until five o'clock. LLANRWST. At LIanrwst there was a religious service at the Church, a procession in the afternoon, pre- ceded by the band; illumination of houses and a cycle parade in the evening, the whole show being a most creditable one. PENMAENMAWR. A gala., attended with remarkable success, was held some weeks ago, when the King's recovery seemed assured, in celebration of the Corona- tion, and on Saturday there was no further de- monstration to signalise the event other than the display of flags, etc. On Sunday a Church parade took place, and a. thanksgiving service in the Parish Church. PORTMADOC. At St. John's Church, on Saturday, there was holy communion at half-past eight, and' morn- ling service' and proclamation' of the King at eleven, conducted by the Rev J. E. Williams, vicar, and the Rev T. A. Williams, curate. Coronation and thanksgiving services were also held on Sunday, in English at Tremadoc and in Welsh at St. John's, Portmadoc. On Saturday afternoon, there were sports in the Park. They were attended by a great number of people from- the town ar.d' surround- ing as well as by visitors staying in the neighbourhood, and everyone seemed' to eni" the programme got up for the occasion by the promoters.

Mr J. R. Prichard. J.P., ren- dered his good services as' starter, together with Mr T. GarlJi Jones as referee. All the ar- rangements in connection with the sports were very efficiently carried out in the most credit- noble manner by MT E. J. Williams under the direction of Mr W. Wilson, the secretary. At the conclusion of the sports Mrs Breese "kindlv presented Mr J. B. Lewis with a certificate and £1 from the Royal, Humane Society for saving a life from drowning at Portmadoc on the 5th July last, and Mr Lewis received a. very hearty reception from, the crowded spectators for his brave conduct. At 9.30 p.m.. fireworks were as welleffeciently carried out. as the sports. This, also, was witnessed in the Park by a crowd1 of spectators. Bonfires were lit on the surrounding hills, the nearest- being on Moel y Gest. The streets were neatly decorated with bunting, mottoes. &c.. and at night the several kuildangs were illuminated.

LLANRWST PETTY SESSIONS. MONDAY.—Before Col. Johnstone f-nresid- jrng), Gol. Higson, H- J- W. Wat-ling. Esq.. L. W. Jelf Pettit, Esq., and W. B. Halhead. Esq. A GUESS THAT FAILED.—Superintendent Jarvis summoned Joseph Bowen Station-road, Llanrwst. for having been on certain lands in pursuit of game, and unlawfully having in, his possession a net, on the 29th of July.—Mr J. E Humphreys, who defended, took a preliminary objection to the summons. It. stated that the defendant had "been lawfully searched by P.C. Davies." Now, the informant in, the case. was Supt. Jarvis. who had not searched the defen- dant. In fact, he was not searched at all. The point had been decided in the case of Turner v. Morgan, heard before Mr Justice Brett and Justice Dannan, in 1872. Mr Humph revs then read the case referred to.—The Chairman: Now. that you have stated your objection, we will I hear the evidence. fr Humphreys Very well, buf Superintendent Jarvis will not be allowed to pro sftut e. -Superintendent Jai-vis I will cross-examine all witnesses.—Mr Hum- phreys was understood to say that the matter would be reported to the Law Society.-P.C. Davies (44) said that on Monday, the 28th of July, at about- 9.45 p.m., whilst on duty in Denbigh-street, in company with Superinten- dent Jarvis, he there saw the defendant in com- pany with another man named David Owen, I coming down the street with a big bundle under his arm. Witness passed certain remarks to Superintendent Jarvis, with the result that they followed the defendant, but the latter went out of sight. It was a net which was in that par- wl.—The Chairman: How do you know that it was a net-?—The Witness replied that he "guessed as much." By instructions, he pro- ( ceeded one way, and the superintendent an- I other, and they subsequently met in Bridge- street. There he received further instructions from Superintendent Jarvis, and proceeded in search of the net.—Witness wa» again questioned by the Bench how did he know that it was a. I net, and this time, he replied: "I believed that it was a net." Continuing his evidence, he I said: "I found the parcel containing the' net in the Eagles yard."—Col. Higson: How do you identify it?—Witness It was in a parcel. -Superintendent Jarvis Is this the net 1"1'0- ( duced) you found ?—Witness Yes. It is about I 100 yards long. There was some grass on it.

He was the person who took the net, but he did not lay the information Witness saw the defendant later in the square. but he did not go, up and charge him with the offence.

"Bowen, I did not know that you were a. poach- er until last night. I have got your met." "Yes," the defendant replied, "you have. and I want it, please. Robert- Lloyd Hughes and myself made that net, and we have a customer for it." I then told him that he would get the net returned if the justices ordered it.—The Bench, a this point, came to the conclusion that the summons wa,s bad.
