LIFE STORIES ILLUSTRATED. '>, ,V, A Trained Athlete. The LEADERS OF MEN in all ages have been con- spicuous for their iron nerve and tireless energy. They have directed their efforts with indomitable resolu- tion, and an intelligent persistence which lias overcome all ob-tacles and borne them in triumph to their goal. They possessed what is called by atlilett s Staying Power," by which )S nuaut not only a great capacity for Physical Endurance, but also the Original Potency of thai subtle Nerve Force which makes or mars Men's Opportunities Many gifted and brilliant men and women are so commonly the victims of an impoverished nervous system, that they are actually unable to 'use the very powers which wouid remove them beyond the Drudgery that is daily exhausting such vitality as yet remains to tnem.

As an athletic coach, it is, o; cour.-e. necessary that I should always be fit and well, and I felt alarmed that I was tosing stamiua aud strellPth. I a'.in-:st began to feel that my work was a trouble instead of a pleasure. Fortunately a relative persuaded me to try Phosferine, and its invigorating effect was marvellous. I very soou pulled round and in a few weeks X was mere than myself again. I felt'strong and well and my spiri:, atv.l nerves were everything that the;- shmild be.

On the 31st of March, some -on was missed. —1 W. Hill, in the employ of Mr Pozzi. said Roberts sold the articles missed to him for about 2s. They were afterwards handed .over to the police.—P.C. R. H. Jones (53) said he charged the men, but Davios said he had nothing to do with the matter, and Roberts said lle had nothing to say.—There were previous convictions against RobertK-Mr Huw Row- land, addressing the Court, said that Davies had1 not been seen there, but it wa's alleged that he had he'' ped Roberts to break the iron. and to carry, whereas he had done nothing- of the kind. --(Roderick Roberts was committ.ed to the As- sizes, and Davies was dismissed. THE SHOOTING AFFAIR.—The ca:e ag- ainst James Mead for going about armed in the public streets in such a manner as to alarm the public was proceeded with. TW particulars were fully reported in our last issue. It. will foe remembered that iM.e,ld purchased a revolver, a.nd threatened to shoot his brother. The only new evidence submitted was that of Sergeant Jones (15), who said that when he took Mead ifco the police station, he said, "D—•— goou thing ihe did not come out. He would have had it.— Mr S. R. Dew prosecuted, and Mr Huw Row- land defended.—Addressing the Bench, the lat- ter commented upon the way the prosecution had been conducted. It was "ridiculous that an old Act of Edward III. should have been raked* j up when the man could be deallt with under re- cent. Acts. He suggested that the man be dealt with under the Licensing Act of 1872, for carry- ing firearms whilst drunk. The magistrates ,could ai*o put him on the black list under the new Act. After all, this was nothing but a drunken freak, and the public were not. alarmed. The magistrates committed the defendant to the Assizes, accepting bail,—the defendant in £ 10, and two sureties of £ 5 each.

CARNARVON BOROUGH PETTY SESSIOiNb.
CARNARVON BOROUGH PETTY SESSIOiNb. (MONDAY.—Before the Mayor (W. G. Thomas, Esq.), Dr Parry, M. T. Morris, Esq., W. Hamer, Esq., and Hugh Jones, Esq. DRUNKENNESS.—The following were fined for dnmkenness :—D. Hughes, Mountain-street; Wil,liam Roberts, Uxbridge-street; D. O. Row- lands and! 'Owen Owens, Pen'rallt (put on the black list); an. William Jones", Bryn Glas, was ordered to pay the costs. BLACK LIST TROUBLES. —Thomas Wil- liams, licensee of the King's Head Inn, Carnar- von, was summoned for serving a black-lister, named William 'Hughes, Penygroes.—Mr J. T. Roberts, who appeared for the police, explained that in this case Hughes was declared a black lister with his own consent on the 13th. March, I and a description of him; wa £ supplied to Wil-! liams among other licensees. During the last month Hughes visited the King's Head and, was served with a pint of beer by the licensee's wife. While he was in the act of consuming this, an- other customer informed the wife that Hughes was on the black list, and thereupon Hughe's was immediately ordered out of the louse. Mr Roberts agreed that the woman's conduct in this respect was most commendable, but she had already committed an offence by supplying the man.—Superintendtent Griffith said that when the case was reported to him he visited the King's Head and found a black list hung up in the bar, but Hughes's name was not upon it. Hughes's description was afterwards brought out of a drawer.—IMr Richard Roberts (for the defendant}: There is no particular place speci- fied, is there, for keeping a list? A drawer will do as well as anywhere else.—Witness There is no I plaoe specified, but there was here a. list hung in the .bar.—But Hughes was; the last return sent in, and they might not have had time to put it among the others.' In addressing the Bench, he submitted' that the onus of proving that Hughes was on the black list rested upon the prosecution. Aa tuit of fact the licensee had no such ^wkd'gv. As to exhibit- ing the black list in the bar he questioned if licensees were .entitled to do such: a thing. All that they were required to do wa's to keep the list for their own information, and, as showing the insufficiency of the descriptions issued, he pointed out that the Police Committee had re- solved to supplement them with photographs.— The Bench thought that there baài 'been some carelessness, but as JL wa.s the first case of the kind in the town they would' dismiss it upon the payment of costs, half the advocate's fee being also allowed. There Was a similar charge against William; Ellis, of the Market Vaults, on J* hose behalf 'Mr Nee agreed to have the oase ealt with in the same manner as the other, with- out entering into facts. nar^oif S TMTMTON.—'The Car- nameHi Bni■ °^TPuar^ans prosecuted a paupeT the Arm-d 'tohard, who was formerly in workhoS; a *um <> £ £ 5 6s 9d.

ASSAULT.—William Jones, 19, Augusta- place. Portdinorwic, was fined for being drunk and assaulting two porters at the Carnarvon Railway Station.
ITHE PRIVATE ISECRETARY. I…
I THE PRIVATE SECRETARY. By Mrs. LOVETT CAMERON, Author of "Deceivers Ever," ".A North Country Maid" etc. ANti this one, Sam ? Sidney dipped bis pen in the ink and waited. You haven't docketed it, but I suppose you refuse ? Oh, it's only the usual thing," continued the Private Secretary, in answer to an enquiring glance from the man in the armchair with the briar pipe in his mouth. "Two days' pheasants and a. ball. You have refused six similar ones during the past week, and there is an aggravation of the offence here, in the wife and daughters, who are anxious to make your acquaintance. One daughter, the gentleman says, you have already seen. I don't imagine you have the faintest recollection of either of them." And the name you say is——? Carbery—Richard Carbery. He met you, be says, at Lady Brayle's in July." 1 remember. K w an awful squash, quite at the end of the season. Someone brought up an old boy of that name and introduced him to me. I remember him perfectly, he had a grey beard and wore spectacles." And promptly introduced you to his daughter, I suppose ?" remarked his cousin with a. dry laugh. "No because she happened to be the other side of the room. JBut, here, chuck us over the letter Sid Sidney Powell did so; although he was rather surprised by the request. A few years ago these two cousins, both orphans, and both of the same age, finding themselves very poor, and nearly friendless in England, resolved to go out together to fight for fortune on the other side of the world. Clubbing together their slender capital, they bought a small property in Australia and proceeded to work it them- selves. They had a hard struggle to get on at all, but after two seasons they began, not exactly to make money, but to turn over just enough to pay their way and to live. They had built their own log hut, and they did their own cooking and cleaning and washing, and lived in the most primitive way imagin- able. ft was a rough life, but by no means an unhappy one. They were devoted to one another and they had youth and health and geod spirits to help them on. Moreover, the out-of door life was thoroughly congenial to them both. And so they had thought to spend the remainder of their life together, in that Englattd beyond the seas, whither so many of Britain's sons, crowded out of the over- populated old country, drift by a natural sequence of events, to find fresh footing, and to make a new home for themselves. But something happened which all at once altered everything. Sam Powell who was a few months the elder, and was the business member of the firm, had occasion one day to go down to Melbourne on wnatters connected withthefarm. Whilst waiting for hi.s train at a wayside junction, he was able to render a trifling service to an old gentleman who was amongst the crowd of travellers 011 lobe platform, who had imprudently deposited a small despateh box upon a bench, whilst making some enquiry of a porter. Sam, standing a little way off, saw a man pick up the box and run away with it; hut by the time the old gentleman had discovered his loss, and was loudly bewailing his bad luck, Sam had nipped across the line right wi front of an advancing engine, knocked down the thief and returned triumphantly with the (boxinhishand. Tile old gentleman had not appeared to be I particularly grateful at the time, but he had asked Sam Powell for his name and address and wrote them carefully down in his pocket book. After which he shook hands with him and got into his own train which was going up country/and Sam continued his journey down to Melbourne a few minutes later. Well, three months later that old gentle- man, who was one of the wealthiest men in the Colony, died, and left the whole of his enormous fortune to Samuel Powell. The cousins came home together. Sam wanted to divide his legacy with Sidney, but Sid would not consent to this. All he would take was five hundred a year if his cousin could enable him to earn it somehow. You shall be my private secretary, Sid; your handwriting is so much prettier than mine, and you shall live with me always." Till you marry," Sidney had stipulated*, but that had been left an open question. After two years of life in England as a millionaire bachelor, the idea of marriage was very mueh more remote from his mind than it had been when he first came home. The women ran after him too hard and too I unblushingly. Dowagers with daughters hunted him from pillar to post. Widows spread their nets almost without guile under his nose. The very girls themselves fluttered like a crowd of bees after honey about him. Sam PoweH grew disgusted and suspicious. It's not me they want," he said to his cousin, "it's my money and in the end he came to believe in no woman's integrity. They seemed to him to be all of them, with- out exception, mercenary and corrupt. "When I find a girl who will love me for myself and not for what I have got," he would say, then I will marry, not before." And it is very probable that he did by these doubts, a cruel injustice to a great many very estimable and deserving young ladies. Now, as he leant back in his luxurious arm- chair reading over Mr. Carbery's somewhat fulsome invitation to come and shoot his pheasants and dance at his ball, and be generally the big man of the occasion, and as he furthermore read how Mrs. Carbery begged to unite with her husband in peti- tioning Mr. Powell to honour their humble house" with his presence, the smoke of his little wooden pipe—the very same which he had often sa.1; smoking in the verandah of the New South Wales log hut--the smoke of it came between his ey**s and the letter in his hand; and through the smoke be seemed to see a face, just indeed as he had seen it across the turmoil and movement of a crowded London drawing room. A face seen only for a moment; two serious grey eyes that were not looking his way at all, some rather dishevelled dark Jocks tumbling over a wide low forehead, a straight short nose, and a proud little mowth and chin beneath it- nothing at all remarkable really. Yet, why had that face remained so persistently in his memory, where hundreds of more beautiful ones had faded into oblivion ? "I wishl could introduce you to my little girl," had said Mr. Carbery, turning rest- lessly about. My third daughter, whom I am chaperoning to-night as her mother is indisposed. Ah there she is, standing over there by that marble pillar—the young lady with the blue r ibbon bow on her head." And then he ha" made signs to his daughter across the swaying sea of human beings that intervened. But either she did not, or wJ.u!d not see for the proud little face had turned away, and Miss Carbery disappeared iniso a farther room. Of course," said Sam Powell cynt^Uy to himself as he puffed at his pipe, '«|f I knew her I should find her exactly lilt all the others. She would lose no time in blow- ing me to perceive what au interesting and delightful creature a marriageable miliiojAaire is What is it they all want, these L<K»don Society girls ? Not a man's love in the «?ery least, only bis banker's book They tmust have smart clothes and diamonds, carriages and horses, seasons in London, opera Iwes, balls, a house for the Ascot races, a yacht for the Cowes week, unlimited opportunities for flirtation, and a never ceasing rouiwJ of dissipation and excitement. "And where does the husband come pi ? As long as he sits there and draws cheques to supply his wife's caprices she wants nothing more from him. Ball t§»ey are all alike. Vain, frivolous and A rich man is never likely to be loved for himself, in this modern Babylon 1 And yet, as he sat there, watching th,jJlØe soft curls of blue smoke, the face carne back to him through them again, and he thought —and thought—and thought—until his cousin wondered whether he was going to sleep. Suddenly he sprang to his feet. Look here, Sid," he cried with a. lit& wcitemont in hie voice and fuc*> I bay. got an idea. Get a fresh sheet of paper and write as I dictate." Sdney obeyed and Sam began "DEAR MR. CARBERY,—I am delighted to accept your very kind invitation to eome down for the ball on the 11th and to stay on for two days' pheasant shooting afterwards. I will come by the train you mention on the 11th, duly equipped both for dancing and shooting. I must make a little personal explanation. I fancy you are taking me for my cousin Samuel—our initials are the same-so you have probably confused us together. We -live together and I act as my cousin's private secretary. I have a lively recollection of my pleasant chat with you at Lady Brayle's evening party in July, and I shall be delighted to renew my ac- quaintance with you and also to make that of Mrs. Carbery and your daughters." At this point the pen dropped out of the private secretary's nerveless fingers. Sam he gasped, staring up with horror struck eyes, what do you mean ? Don't ask questions man. Go on." But Sam—what—I don't understand I don't ask you to understand. I ask you to write." Sidney picked up the pen feebly. Sam went on It is most kind of you to have remembered me and I shall enjoy coming immensely.- Yourssincerely, SIDNEY POWELL." But, am I to go ? stammered Sidney. "Oh you blockhead! No of course not! Iam going. I shall go as Sidney Powell the poor secretary, and you will remain here as Sam Powell the millionaire. D'ye see ? O—h," said Sid slowly, and after a few minutes reflection be thought he did see. It's business this time," he said to himself. Aloud, he remarked, "You'll have an un- j commonly bad time of it old man." "Yes. Very likely. That is exactly the experience I am anxious to undergo," was experience I am anxious to undergo," was the reply. Horton Hall was a large house standing in the middle of a large park. It would have taken a great deal of money to keep both up properly, and unfortunately Mr. Richard Carbery was not nearly so well off as his father had been. The plaee had consequently gone down in the world. The shooting which once had been first class, was now most in- different. The big stables were half empty, the gardens were ill-kept and untidy, and inside the house, both furniture and decora- tion were in the last stages of sliabbiness. Four sons and five daughters constitute a serious drain on any man's pocket, and what with Eton and Oxford, frocks and London seasons, the depression of agriculture, losses on the Stock Exchange, and bad times gener- ally, Mr. Carbery often had a hard struggle to make both ends meet. Nevertheless, both Mr. and Mrs. Carbery strove bravely to do their duty as best they could by their large family, and to provide for their future, and it was in view of possible and eligible sons-in- law who had not however presented them- selves with any alacrity, that the old custom of an annual ball at Horton was religiously adhered to. One morning, shortly before the day of this ball, the five daughters, of whom three were" out" and the other two still in the schoolroom, were assembled together in their own special sitting-room, putting finishing touches to their ball dresses. They were last season's dresses, furbished up with fresh flowers and ribbons; papa, in spite of tearful entreaties, having flatly refused them new ball gowns. Enter mamma with a per- turbed face and an open letter in her hand. My dears such a dreadful disappoint- ment about that rich Mr. Powell I What, isn't he coming?" cried the eldest Miss Carbery who was the beauty of the family. Well it's almost worse. A Mr. Powell is coming but it's not the right one Your father, as usual, has made a stupid mistake. He took it for granted without making any enquiries that it way the millionaire he was introduced to at Lady Brayle's, and now it seems it was his cousin, who is a poor man, and acts as his cousin's secretary apparently. So I don't suppose he has a shilling, and he is coming! Did you ever hear anything so aggravating ? There arose an outcry of very genuine regrets, for the a^wt of this rich man had raised a flubtei of excitement in the breasts of the two elder Miss Carberys. "What a sell I" How stupid of papa Can't he writeand say he made a mistake and get the right one ? "and so on. All these observations were made by Isobel and Agatha, the two eldest Miss Carberys but it was noteworthy that Celia the third girl said nothing at all. She was sewing some pink roses on to the skirt of her ball dress, so perhaps she may have been too busy to speak. Of course there is nothing to be done now," said their mother. This Mr. (referring to the letter)—"Sidney, Sidney Powell will have to come. We cannot be rude to him, we must be civil naturally, but there is really no occasion for any of you girls to dance with him." "I sha'n't!" declared Isobel emphatically. Nor I," echoed Aggie. Wont that be rather unkind? observed Celia. gently. Why Celia," cried her elder sister. "Of course it was you who went to Lttdy Brayle's eveningparty I remember now, it was your turn. Mamma was .<eedy, so papa took you. Did you see this man who seems to be a regular imposter?" Celia shook her head. "I am not sure- I don't remember. But wliy call him an im- poster? He can't help being poor, can he ? I daresay he is very nice." "Celia at ways t'Uks as if there was a positive virtue in poverty t" said Isobel scornfully. "There is positive vice to my mind, in running after a rich man," retorted Celia, warmly. Girls girls I don't squabble and really, Celia, you are sometimes rather coarse, my dear! Knowing as you do how important it is for the whole family that you should all marry well—you ought to be more guarded in your language. You are not asked, of [course, to do anything so vulgar as to 'run after' any man, but I certainly must desire that you do not show any special attention to an absolutely ineligible young man who Ioccupies a dependent position, and who has 'nothing evidently but what hiscousin allows him. To be markedly polite to him would be sheer waste of time." And then mamma, fearing possibly an un- answerable rejoinder from her somewhat rebellious third daughter, beat a speedy retreat. After she had gon-, Isobel again asserted that noEhiing, no iV'-hing, should induce her to waste a dance \v, "Ki this wretched im- Soster," although ahe had no objection to nding him partners amongst their friends. Agatha who always agreed with Isobel said that was exactly what she meant to do, and then all at once Celia sprang to her feet and faced her sisters with blazing eyes. "You are both of you horrid she cried with a little angry stamp of her foot. Hate- ful and horrid and mamma is as bad as you are t You do nothing but think about getting rich men to marry you. Why can't girls talk pleasantly and behave nicely to young men without speculating about their in- comes ? I hate all this talk about eligible i and ineligible men If a man is nice in himself I like him. What does it matter to me how poor he is. As to this Mr. Powell, I do remember him. I was not introduced to him, but I saw him talking to papa. He had a very nice face I thought, but I too fancied he was the Australian millionaire that was why I would not come when papa beckoned tome. If I had known he was only the poor cousin I would have gone directly. If he! comes here, I shall most certainly dance with him as oftei) as he asks me." Hcighty tighty, what a tirade cried Isobel. But Uelia shouldered her rose- garlanded ball dress and stalked out of the room with her chin in the air, so she did not hear the angry abuse which her two sisters showered very freely upon her after her departure. Well, the ball when it came off was a success, and tha.t in spite of cheap cham- pagne, a very plain, home-cooked supper, and; the local band. But the floor was good, and the local band at least kept time, and there were plenty of young people who were not in the least critical and who were only anxious to enjoy themselves. The young men were mostly sons of country squires, or officers from the not fa.r distant Aldershot; tnd «s they showed no disinclination to dance, and did not hang about in the do()P; ways looking bored or supercilious, th, girls got plenty of partners, and everybody entered heartily into the fun of the evening. And nobody enjoyed herself more than did Mr. Carbery's third daughter. From the very first, even at dinner, before the girls had gone up to put on their ball finery, Mr., Powell seemed to single out Celia from the group of sisters. The others were cold and stand off in their manner to him. Mre. Carbery was barely civil, and even his host, allowed him to perceive how great was his disappointmentafc the unfortunate substitu- tion of the poor couska for the rich one. Sam, with secret chuckles noticed it all. "Exactly what I expected I" he said to himself. "Smiles of flattery would have; been the portion of the millionaire, cold-, shoulder is the diet offered to the poor Secretary But to his surprise and delight Celia was different. Celia of the grey eyes; and the queer fascinating face, she was markedly civil and pleasant to him, so much so indeed that he grew half suspicious, and wondered if she had found him out. Later on in the evening he became ashamed of his suspicions.. .Later on round him, after dancing many! times with her, sitting in a remote corner of j a conservatory side by side with Celia. "You have been very good to me this evening Miss Carbery," he said to her gently. Good oh no. How can that be Mr. Powel I ? "Well, you see, I came down this after- noon a perfect stranger to you all. I know no one in this part of the world. I am, more-, over, a poor nobody, the sort of person who does notexpectmuchkinduess and considera- ition, and yet you have been uniformly kind and gracious to me the whole evening L wonder why you have been so Do you always impute motives then to | everybody ?" enquired Celia with a little laugh. Sam blushed a little. "Oh, well, there is generally a reason, isn't there? Now my Cousin Sam is a] ways made much of wher- ever lie goes. If he had come down to stay with your father instead of me Oh, I am so glad he did not," cried Celia quickly. "In heavens name, why ? turning sharply upon her. What has the poor chap done to offend you pray ? j "Oh, nothing of course Why you look: quite angry Mr. Powell Of course I meanI lwthing against him, and I can see you are: fond of your rich cousin. But he is so rich, I I could never have got on with him! Rich; men carry about a false atmosphere with; l them." I see what you mean," replied the young man thoughtfully. "You are quite right." "You see I have met a good many rich men and somehow I never like them—theyj are spoilt I suppose." It is you women who spoil them," said Sam. "Women run after a rich man dread- fully." < Yes, perhaps. But I think sometimesi they imagine women run after them more than they really do. And after all it is not every girl who prefers them. I like poor men much the best myself." "But if you were to fall in love with a rich man ?" I—Oh with a sudden blush. I was not thinking of—of that kind of thing." "Ah, but we men sometimes think of it, Miss Carbery. Only think, then, what an! advantage a rich man has over a poor one.! There is my lucky cousin who has the pick There is my lucky cousin who has the pick I and choice of half the beautiful women in; England. They all let him see that he has only got to ask, whereas, a poor beggar like me, what chance have I ? No girl would ever want to marry me Oh, why not?" cried Oelia, impulsively. Their eyes met and hers fell rather con- fusedly. I—I should imagine that a j^reat many girls would be glad to—to do so,' she added lamely. Now, really you give me very great hopes Miss Carbery criedthe young man eagerly. I" I have always considered myself to be an utter detrimental, and young ladies born and bred as—as you are for instance—want so many things that only a rich man can give them." Do you think a really nice girl would think about the things!" retorted Celia scornfully. You must have a very bad opinion of my sex. I could teach you better than that." Then she was silent. He bent his head and spoke low. Teach me, then. What do you mean ? I mean that if a girl eared—cared really for you—she—she would not mind your being poor. She would think it happiness enough to be To be what ?—do finish." Well, to be loved my Yfm," added Celia, with a deep burning blush. For into what a veritable entanglement of embarassment her incautious words had thrown her There were a few moments of silence be- tween them. Celia's heart was beating be- neath her white satin bodice. But that was nothing to the way in which Sam's heart thumped beneath his dress coat. He bad found her then his girl who would love him for himself and not for his money I It was not for nothing that her face seen once across a crowded room had haunted him ever since! But when he 9poke again his words were perfectly ordinary and common-' (place. I I "I wish," he said that you would allow me to tell you something about Sam Powell, that is if you don't want to dance—a lancers !is just starting—perhaps you would like me to take you back to the ball-room ? "No. I would much rather stay here. I am not engaged for this dance. But I don't want to hear_about your cousin in the very Oh, but do let me tell you about the way he became so rich. It is really rather a iromantic story in its way." ( Then he told her about the old gentleman land his despatch box, and she listened atten- :tively and became interested and sym-! Apathetic. "He ought to have shared his fortune [with you," was her observation when he' ihad told her all about their life in Australia (together and the log hut and how they had cooked their own food and washed their own clothes. Ah, that is the sort of life I should like! to lead she cried impulsively. "How happy one might be out there far away from the! false shams of civilisation. Out of doors alii day in that glorious climate, leading the free natural existence that brings health and happiness with it as a matter of course I have half a mind to go back there J" murmured Sam beneath his breath. Aloud he said "And if you married a settler out there could you be as happy as all that, Miss Carbery ? really and truly ? Really and truly yes—if—if if WhiLt ? ¡ If he was the man I loved." And, then, half frightened she 6prang to her feet. Come let us go back to the ball-room, the lancers are just over and I am afraid I J am engaged for the next dance." ) They went back to the ball-room and that w«3 the end of their talk that evening. But his visit was not yet over. There were two most dreary days of very poor shooting where Sam was given the worst place, scarcely spoken to by his host or his other | guests, and made to feel himself altogetherl 'an unwelcome outsider by the little clique] of men who all knew each other and looked; (upon him as a nobody-but he did not, lresent it in the very least, by reason of what was in store for him in the evening. IThe evenings made up for everything! iThe bouse was large and rambling. The Jsons and daughters were all. at home, There were other lads and maidens also, •friends and eousins, staying in the house. Some played billiards, some played ping- 'pong, others were fully occupied with a miniature roulette table in the centre hall. It was very easy tur a couple determined 'upon isolating themselves to do so. And iSam and Celia scarcely made a pretence to each other about it. There were plenty of pleasant secluded comers. Conservatory and morning-room and school-room all lent themselves to their wishes. The first even- ing was uninterrupted bliss all through. But on the second evening Nemesis overtook them. They were in the conservatory again, sitting together on a rustic bench under wide spreading palms. There was only a dim light from a hanging lamp, but they f found it light enough. They were sitting hand in hand this time, and something of a veryabsorbing nature had just been said. t W# hav* only known each other for tiro days, Mr. Powell," the girl had demurred. •• It seems too dreadfully sudden." "If we had known each other two cen- turies, Celia, you know very well we could not love each other better than we do. And you tell me it is not for wealth or position you mean to marry, but for love. That you would share poverty and hardship gladly with the man you love ? Oh yes, yes." Then why hesitate ? And that at that very moment came the quick rustle of silken skirts across the stone flags, and Mis. Carbery, with rage in her face, stood suddenly before them. Celia what are you doing here? You ought to be ashamed of yourself "I am not in the least niliiiiiiia replied Celia, quietly rising to her feet and her lover rose too, but he did not let go her hand. C, And you, sir f" turning furiously to the young man. How dare you hold my daughter's hand ? You who are a, pauper I "I like paupers mamma, and this pauper particularly. I am going to marry Mr. Sidney Powell," she added stoutly, and Sam's fingers closed upon hers in a grip of iron. closed upon hers in a grip of iron. And how do you propose to support a wife pray?" enquired the angry mother, glaring at him. "I promise you that she shall not starve Mrs. Carbery," and Sam smiled benignly. "You camn In-;re under falsi-* pretences Mr. Powell, deny it if you dare I consider you as no bvi.ter s !u> an imposte-r. You know perfectly wi*l; ih.< f. it was your cousin and not yourself !i; i! Mr Carbery intended to invite ? And then Sam dropped Celia's hand and became as grave as a judge. Mrs. Corbery, you are indeed perfectly right. I did come her e under false pretences. I admit iL I am probably no better than an imposter. T kllow that your husband invited I, the rich Mr. Powell and not the poor one. J Oh don't look so frightened my darling I turning to Celia who had become white to the lips and who was staling at him with horrified eyes." It'saH right my sweet one. I feel sure It hat your father and mother will 'forgive me. You see, my little girl, I had not forgotten your face though I had only seen it once, and I did so want to make you love me myself, not anything that belonged to me, and so I have played this trick upon you. Mrs. Carbery, you will pardon me I trust when I tell you that my Christian name is Samuel not Sidney, and that I have the misfortune to be the rich Powell, not the poor one Needless to say Mrs. Carbery forgave him then and there, to the extent indeed of falling upon his neck and embracing him. But it took Celia longer to get over it. Her dream of being a poor man's wife was at an end. It had been sweet to her to think of going out,across the world with him to work with him side by side, to shard his toil as well as his love. Ah Well, the love was there all the same, and Celia managed to forgive him for his d. ception long before her wedding day. [TID: UND. I

FOUTKALL. CARNARVON v. REST OF THE LEAGUE. The above match was played at the Oral. Carnarvon, on Saturday, before a moderate at- tendance. 'Both teams were well represented, the only absentee on the home side bt>inj! R. Old field. His position was ably filled by H. Hughes, who gave endless trouble to the visit- ing left outside. On the whole, it was a poor ga.me—too one-sided to be interesting; and though facing a stiff breeze, the Carnarvonites pressed from the kick off. Shot after shot was repelled in masterly faisihioii by the visitors' cus- todian. but eventually he succumbed to a shot from W. Hughes. The visitors' forwards could hardly make any progress against Carnarvon's from W. Hughes. The visitors' forwards could hardly make a.ny progress against Carnarvon's defence. After some spasmodic efforts by the visitors to equalise, the homesters were back again, and from a pass by W. Hughes. E. Hughes put on No. 2. A few minutes later, when H. Roberts had the goal at his mer<yv. be shot wide. The visitors' half-line played a sound game, and from one of their clearances the left wing got possession, and, racing along, passed to the J. If he had paid more aT- tention to his wings, instead of trying to do too much himself, his side would probably have scored. Alf. Bennett, having tackled him suc- cessfully, put his forwards in possession, who subsequently scored a goal, but some infringe- menffc nullified the attempt. Amends were made later on when another point-this time legiti- mate-was obtained through the agency of H. Roberts. Just on the interval, the visiting in- side left collided heavily with Alf. [Bennett? but soon recovered, 'Hw second half was a repeti- tion of the first. Carnarvon doing practically all the pressing, but only managed to net the ball twice, thus running out winners bv five goals to nil. H. Hutghee and H. Roberts were the pick of the front rank, and W. Hughes in the aalf-hne, and what th« defence had'to do thev did wed.
THIS IS NOT A PUZZLE: WHAT…
THIS IS NOT A PUZZLE: WHAT IS IT You have t-wo minutes to spare, haven't you? Of course. You are not. in a hurry to catch a. train, or pay a boll? Well, then, answer us this question What is the leading sign of a condi- Iti-on of things in your body. which, if not soon corrected, leads straight to the graveyard; and yet none but heailtihy persons ever hove it, and they have every day? You will scratch youir head foT hours before y«n hit upon the true answeT, amd; yefc it is simple as simple con be. to th'ink, yaa had 'better read this article straight through, oorl perhaps the truth will dawn on your mind without OUT being obliged to tell you outright. ,Lett, us then get at it gradually through listening to the tide of a person who once had a very un- happy bit of experience. Off and on, for twelve years, this lady suff- cred jntense pain in tihe chest, accompanied often w:th a feeling of sinking in the pit of the T, stomach, at times so unbearable that she would roll on the floor in agony. Even when free from, pain, which was not trften. she scarcelv dared venftunv out. of dbors for feaT of .falling—her head went so dizzy and her legs felt so useless. The feeling she would never get- better made her terribly low and depressed. She was a wife and the mother .fyf nine children, iwhidh made thae calamity lwtlle more serious. Dear, doar. what terrible tumbles we take sometimes, don't we? To-day on the hill-top viewing our farm; to- morrow asking employment from its new owner. So litfe .goes. This lady's experience was by no means uncommon, nor was it all bLoud and no sunshine, as we shall presently see. But first, let us finish heT story. She felt hungrr but could not eat. Her tongue was furred, and there, w&s a nasifey taste wer present in her nro-nth. A persistent hacking cough shook her from lwad: to foot. Though constantly under medicafl treatment, she experienced no benefit, until on the advioe ojf a neighbour, she bought a bottle o<f Mother Seffigel s Syrup. This sufficed to relieve the pain and perseverance in its use effected a complete Pure. Writing from her home in New-street, Radley, Kent, she says: "I fee-t better now than I ha<ve dome for eighteen years. I relish my food, sleep Wlel1. and feel weN. After twelve Yet- of .pain, Mio>tlher •Seig5*s Syrup clivedf me when .everything efee failed. I have a fanuiily ntf ndne children, and attribute their freedom from sickness to the fact that.
