[PUBLISHED BY SPECIAL ARRANGEMENT.) THE KING'S DIAMOND. BY FLORENCE STACPOOLE. (COPYRIGHT.) CHAPTER IX. What on earth can he be saying to her all this time ejaculated Sir Richard Chesney, when the study clock had chimed the half-hour after eleven, and the visitor had not re-appeared. More than an hour had elapsed since Ir. Straight had withdrawn for his interview with Mademoiselle de Jude. What indeed I" muttered Robert Green- hough with a sneer, getting all the news of the family out of her—you bet Robert, you forget yourself said his uncle sternly. Dora said nothing, but she looked at her cousin in astonishment. He was still loung- ing in the low chair, with his back to the window. You seem to have conceived some ill-will to Mr. Straight," continued the baronet; "you don't consider that he is putting himself to a great deal of trouble for us—absolute strangers to him," Where on earth did you pick him up, Dora; and how has he come to mix himself up in this business?" asked her cousin, taking no notice of bis nude's observation. I met him accidentally in the wood yester- day." In the wood—accidentally! Do you mean you came across him without knowing who he was, and without being introduced to him?" and Robert Greenhough's face darkened. He had strayed into Wie wood by chance," she said, her face flushing. When he found he was on private ground he apologised and intro- duced himself. When I discovered who he was I knew papa would like to meet him." I have longed wished to meet him," said her father, and was sorry to have been out when he called. If you had been at home last evening, Boh, I would have sent you over to the farm to ask him to come across to dinner. You sent. the message to those men all right, my boy ?" "Yes, I took it to Pembridge myself. It will be in plenty of time to stop them. I came back through the wood and found the plate and spoon." He glanced over at Dora, but her eyes were on the carpet, and she did not see the glance. All right, now-" At this instant a knock came to the door. It was the butler. "If you please, Sir Richard, Philips has asked me to say that Mademoiselle caught the train all right, Sir Richard. She as in plenty of time. Philips took it easy, he says, coming home, Sir Hichard, to save Dandy, as the day is getting powerful hot, and they went fast for the train, but she got it quite safe, Sir Richard, he knew you'd be wanting to know, sir What does he mean ?" said Sir Richard, looking from his servant to his nephew and daughter with a bewildered air and rising t. his feet—"What is he talking about?" "Only about Mademoiselle de Jude, catching the train, sir. He thought you'd want to know it In1-; all right, as it was so important she should catch it. The business I mean, Sir Richard, that you was sending her on," the man concluded, looking with a deprecating expression at the three faces which were staring at him in speechless surprise. "The business I was sending her on! When? What business?" Do you mean that Mademoiselle de Jude has gone away by train ?" cried Robert Greenhough, r-triding forward, his face very red, his eyes flashing. Yes. sir; up fast—10-58." "Was [r, Straight with her?" "Mr. Straight? No sir. She went in the .dcg-cart alone, with Philips driving her, sir." "Then where is Ir, Straight?" demanded his master. Mr. Straight, Sir Richard?" stammered the man, astonished at the confusion into which his delivery of the groom's message seemed to have thrown the family, and wondering who on earth this Mr. Straight could be for whom they were enquiring so eagerly. Dora. had turned pale, and drew close to her father's side. "This is astonishing." said Sir Richard. Gone by train. What on earth is the meaning of it?" "And what has become of Mr. Straight?" asked Greenhough, quickly. "Oh, papa, papa!" cried Dora, with a sudden terror in her voice; let us hurry, let us look for him at once Some vagua apprehension that he had met with an untoward fate seized hu, and freeing her arm from her father's she rushed out of the room, darted across the vestibule and opened the little panel-shaped door. Her father hurried after her, closely foMcvved by hio nephew, the butler bringing up the rear, a scared look upon his rubicund face. Dora's fleet footsteps quickly outstripped the Jest, She sped alorg the narrow passage leading to tne high flight of stairs up which she had con- ducted the bairister an hour and a half before. Sh" could distinctly hear the sound of loud knocking on the door of her former schoolroom, > and taking two steps at a time she rushed up the staircase. "Mr. Straight! Oh! Mr. Straight, are you hurti YV hat is the matter r" she cried, when she reached the caken door. The knocking ceased instantly, s.nd then John Straight t' voice, full of corcein, answered from within. Miss Chesney, is it you p" Yes, yes. It is 1. Are you hurt?" "Not a bit, except in my self-esteem, which is mortally wounded," be cried, cheerfully, his could she have seen them, were glowing with pleasure from the fact that she was the first to come and seek him, and that her voice plainly betokened anxiety for his welfare. It i, awfully goc.d of you to come," he con- tinued. I really deserve to be locked up here for a week for allowing myself to be tricked so easily. What has become of—of Mademoisella de Jude?" He had rearly said, "Of Sonia Kourapatkin." Sh: has gone away in the train to London. Oh, palla!" for th others were now appearing at the head of the staircase. 0 "Mr. Straight is in here, he must be locked in—he has been knocking so hard!" Is the key in the lock?" called the prisoner. No," answered Dora, feeling for it, as the lobby was but indifferently lighted with a coloured glass skylight. "The key has been taken away!" Then a perfect babel ensued. Sir Richard, his Tnitlev, nephew, and daughter all speaking to- g-c her, asking each other questions which no one could answer, and suggesting all sorts of methods for opening the door, while the victim behind it added to the hubbub with perfeotly im- practicable suggestions for his release. At last the butler's sonorous bass made itself audible above the din. "I think, Sir Richard, if me and two of the men were to get a plank, and make a ram of it, we'd get the door down sooner that way than any other." you numbskull," said Robert Green- hough in the contemptuous manner he generally used when addressing domestics, and which made him heartily hated in the house, "if you had foothold enough to get a purchase for your ram. The three of you couldn't stand on those stairs, could you, while you drove yo.ur ram in?" In truth the extent of the lorbby from the head of the stairs to the door precluded any possibility of working such an engine, particularly as the steep staircase was so narrow that it could by no possibility hold two men abreast. For- tunately, however, a solution to the difficulty was quickly found, for the next moment Sir Richard exclaimed joyfully, Why, there are dviplicates to all the doorkeya in the house. You know, Higgs, they are hang- ing in the study—in the closet with the bill files "To be sore there are, and Higgs was down the stairs in a twinkling. have you out in a minute, Mr. Straight!" called the baronet to his incarcerated visitor, through the key hole, there is a duplicate of the key, it will be here directly. How such an extraordinary state of things can have come about, I cannot conceive," he continued in a lower tone, turning his amazed face to Dora and Robert, who had apparently no suggestion to offer on the subject, for Mr. Greenhough con- tinued leaning against the wall of the lobby, a. bored expression having succeeded the look of excitement his features had worn coming up the stairs, and Dora, who had been looking fixedly at the closed door, seemed not to have heard her father's remark, for she started suddenly and hurried away. Another moment and the butler returned with the key, and John Straight was released and greeted by his host with hand-shakings and apologies and queries jumbled in inextricable confusion. Robert Greenhough, when he saw the key put into the lock, had simply turned and walked off. Straight looked round the lobby, his face falling a little. "I thought Miss Chesney was here," he said. An acute observer would have smiled at the dis- appointment in his tone. "So she was, but she has just gone off; really it is the most amazing thing to happen that I ever heard of. Come along down and tell us all about it. Ah Here is Dora I" They had reached the head of the stairs. Dora. was coming up; she carried a salver with a.glass of sherry and a little plate with a cake it, and was followed by a footman bringing a decan- ter and biscuit box. Oh, Mr. Straight sh« cried, "jjoajmait be famished. 1 am sure 70G had not half yonr breakfast this morning. I know I interrupted you before you had finished, and then to think of all this terrible time you have had; it is toe- too dreadful She raised her eyes to his—they were full of tears. "My dear Miss Chesney, this is too awfully kind!" was all he could say as he hastened to relieve her of her burden. Please drink it at once—just to revive you she said earnestly, and then come down and have some luncheon. I have ordered it to be ready as soon as possible; you must be so dread- fully exhausted The diamond and its loss and the mysterious disappearance of her governess seemed to be forgotten. No, indeed, I am not," he said, as he obeyed her behest, but I am terribly ashamed of all the trouble I have caused by my stupidity!" "My dear fellow!" cried Sir Richard, "for heaven's sake don't say you have caused us trouble, it is we who owe you a thousand apologies for bringing all this annoyance on you, but how on earth did it happen? They tell me Madamoiselle has gone off to London—it's most bewildering! Did she lock you in and then run away. How did she manage to do it?" The servants had gone on, and Sir Richard, as he talked, was leading the way back to the study. She managed simply enough. While my head was turned she darted out and locked the door." He did not mention that she had diverted his attention by saying Dora was walking outside with a strange man. It was a pre-arranged plan of hers, I feel sure; that was why she asked to see me in her sitting-room, which happened to be as well suited to her purpose as if it had been built for it. She had put the key on the outside, and. knowing the woman I had to deal with, I ought to have prevented her little plan from working by having sense enough to look to the key and secure it directly I entered hei room." Oh, Mr. Straight, can it be true that she had anything to do with the loss of the diamond!" cried Dora. Did you know her before; what has she done?" "I met her a couple of years ago under—well —er—not pleasant circumstances," he answered, but you must not agitate yourself, you really mustn't," he said earnestly, as he saw the effect his words had produced. "Ah, yes—she's mixed up in it I'm afraid," said Sir Richard, mournfully, "unwilling as I am to think it, I fear it looks very black. WThafc do you suggest now, Mr. Straight—shall we have to try and catch her?" We must wire up the:ine, and to London, without a moment's delay. She has got a long start, but we must strain every nerve to catch up with her. If you can let me have a horse I will ride over to the station and send the wires off at once." "Yes—yes—to be sure," and Sir Richard hur- ried from the room to despatch Higgs to rout up the grooms. Can't you let one of the men take the wire, Mr. Straight," said Dora. "You really must not go without your luncheon." I'll be back in less than an hour. I will indeed," he said, and then he laid his hand on hers, arguing perhaps that this method of re- assuring her was permissible under the present special stress of circumstances. It will be better for me to take it than to entrust it-" Dora's hand was suddenly withdrawn from his, and her face crimsoned. At the same moment a voice behind Straight said, Ah—perhaps you would entrust me with the telegram, Mr. Straight. It was the voice of Robert Greenhough—he had entered silently. The scowl which his face had worn when he saw the tall form of the barrister standing before his cousin changed, with the swiftness of a chemical transformation. Allien that gentleman turned round, hardly troubling to conceal the irritation which the sudden interruption caused him. You really must let.me take the wire," said Mr. Greenhough, blandly. You have had quite your share of work this morning, Mr. Straight, it's my turn now." The blandness of his voice, however, did not mollify Straight's ruffled feelings. It was dis- tinctly unpleasant to be sprung upon suddenly, even with an offer of assistance. I would prefer to take it myself, thank you," he said, coldly. Dora had turned to the window. The inter- ruption had been even more embarrassing to her than to her companion. Oh, but you've had one journey to Pembridge already, and as I suppose you don't want the servants to read your message I'll be delighted to take it myself; the horse will be round im- mediately, so if you'll come and write what you want sent I'll be off." But instead of moving Straight looked down on Robert Greenhough from his superior height in a way that exasperated that young man pro- fouadly, though he concealed his exasperation, and turning to his uncle, who just then re- entered the room, said in a tone of jocular remonstrance: Oh, I say, sir, here's Mr. Straight afraid to trust me with the wire to the 'tecs to look out for Mademoiselle at the station! I do believe he grudges anyone having a share in nabbing the thief but himself!" Tut, tut," said his uncle. Then turning to their visitor, he said with decision, "Yes, of course, Mr. Straight, nry nephew will take it. had quite enough worry in the matter for one morning. The horse is coming round, and if you'll be so good as to write the message Bob will copy it. Then you must come along and have some luncheon." So Straight, feeling it was useless to protest, but with a sense of baffled irritation, as if his prey was escaping him, allowed himself to be conducted to the writing' table in the vestibule, where telegraph forms were lying. It's too late to have any hope of her at Lewes," he said, as he Vrote, but we'll try Redhill and Croydon, in case there might be a change delay or anything of that kind, as well as Clapham Junction, London Bridge and Victoria." He gave a description of the woman, and his own name and that of Detective Inspector Jadd, and directed the message to the stationmasters. I'll copy it at the office," said Greenhough. "Yes, that will save time," said Sir Richard, send the one to Redhill off first, and then copy out the others." And a few minutes after nephew was cantering down the avenue. Just then Dora re-appeared. "I'm sure you must be starving. Won't you come to luncheon, at once, Mr. Straight?" she said, entreatii'gly. I had really quite forgotten to be hungry," he said, smiling. I often forget to eat any luncheon when I hav) something specially in- teresting on hand." That is very bad for you, and does no one remind you of it, or see that you eat it?" "No, indeed. You see I have no he was going to say, no wife," but something made him hesitate—"no mother—or—or sister, you know," he went on, to look after me, and to think of these little things for me." How lonely that is for you!" She said it with a compassionate little sigh. "Yes," he answered, it is very lonely." He had not before thought of his life as a lonely one, but now he suddenly realised how blank the years had been in the past, the years in which he had not known Dora. At the same instant an unpleasant apparition started into his mind— it was the figure of the man who had just galloped down the avenue, and after him another and even a worse phantom glided into the field of his mental vision, the phantom of a good-looking man with laughing blue eyes and a fair moustache. The remembrance of Smith had, in fact, suddenly sprung into his mind. Smith, the critic, mys- teriously illuminated with the humorous twinkle of Mrs. Wilkinson's eye! He instinctively felt that Smith was probably a more dangerous rival than even Robert Green- hough, her cousin, who seemed to be on such intimate terms in the house, and he set his teeth as he thought of all the opportunities Smith had had for ingratiating himself at Riverdale, of how well he could talk—what a charming touch was his on the piano. In fact all Smith's per- fections darted into the unfortunate Straight's mind with exaggerated clearness now that the blighting thought had arisen that he was a possible rival. His host's voice interrupted his gloomy ima- ginings. Let me pour you out a glass of cham- pagne, Mr. Straight. It's the best stimulant there is, they say. A diffusible stimulant, I be- lieve doctors call it, because it acts so quickly on the system. I've desired no one to attend so that we can talk freely, but I won't have an- other word till I see you eat something! You are looking quite done up, my dear fellow!" Dora hurriedly helped him to some soup, look- ing at him with so much anxious commiseration that even his fear of Smith waned. And he re- solved to seize and make the most of the present, which at all events was his, and to gain more gratitude from her by his devotion to her father than it could ever have been Smith's luck to earn. I am so confident," he said, when he had done as he was desired, and finished his soup and wine, that the mystery of this loss will be cleared up and the diamond he restored to you when once Jadd's experienced wits are brought to bear on the matter that it is hardly necessary for me Sir Richard, to bother you by talking of the legal aspect of the loss." He was putting the matter as lightly as he knew how, so as to discover, if possible without direct questioning, how far he could judge the baronet to be implicated in liability for the lost jewel. "Lal aapeot of the loss," echoed Sis Richard, I don't think 1 quite understand tlu, term, Ur. Straight. "Perhaps you know as little about 'bail-i' ments' as Miss Chesney," said Straight, laugh- I ing, she frankly confessed she had never 1 heard the word before." "Oh, you mean how I stand as a bailee?" Yes, I do." "Ah, there is but one aspect of the case as far as that goes," said Sir Richard, shaking his head. My dear Sir Richard, Lord Holt in Coggs and Bernard distinguishes between six different kinds of bailment." "What are Coggs and Bernard?" asked Dora, raising her eyebrows in a mystified manner. They were two gentlemen who had a dis- pute in the reign of Queen Anne, which gave rise to a law suit," said lr, Straight, laughing again. "a law suit in which Lord Holt, who was then Chief Justice of England, delivered a very celebrated judgment, and this judgment has ever since been regarded as the most authoritative exposition of the law on the subject of goods left by one person in trust with another for one purpose or another." Dora still looked rather mystified as she glanced at her father, who waved his hand as if the subject was one he preferred not to discuss. There was a slight air of hauteur in his manner, cf which he was probably not aware, as he said, Whatever the law may be on the subject, Mr. Straight, the fact remains that I took this man's property, and am bound by honour to return it to him. If I have had the misfortune to lose it while it was in my possession, he is not responsible for my carelessness." "o; but it is all a matter of evidence what constitutes carelessness," said the lawyer, if a bailee can be proved guilty of gross negligence, the law very properly holds him responsible." My dear sir, I took the man's diamond, gave him a receipt for it-" Straight started; then he glanced quickly at Dora, and was glad that she was looking at her father and had not noticed his movement, and," continued Sir Richard, "I am responsible for the return of the stone-or its value." There was ever so faint a tremor in his voice. though he spoke with the calm deliberation of a man whose mind is made up to face the worst that can come to him. Straight saw that the only result of argument 011 the subject would be to plunge Dora into another agony of despair. Already her bright colour had faded, a.nd her lips were quivering. ITe changed the conversation quickly, saying with as much conviction as if the King's Dia- mond was lying on the table before him. The diamond will be in your possession again Sir Richard before a week is over. You may trust Detective Jadd for that. However, before lie comes I would like to ask you a few questions- if I may — about Mademoiselle de Jude, and how she came to occupy the position she held in your house. I confess I am curious on that point." Oh, dear," cried Dora, her attention success- fully diverted from the diamond, by the men- tion of her truant governess. "What has she done Mr. Straight? My poor mademoiselle, I am so fond of her. I can't bear to think she has done anything wrong, and she could not have taken the diamond, could she?" looking towards her father. I'm positive she couldn't. No thief, no matter how clever, could have taken the case from under my head without waking me, to say nothing of opening it, taking out the stone, which was fitted into it by a special clamp, and putting the box back again. Besides she knew nothing about it. No one knew anything about it, or indeed that it was in England, except Prince Akbar and Lord Hedington, who sent him here, and myself. It seems more like the work of the Prince of Darkness than anything else." concluded Sir Richard, rubbing his fore- head with an air of weary bewilderment. But how did Mademoiselle de Jude get into the house. Where did she come from?" asked Straight. "(Ih it was this way. Nearly three months ago our vicar, Mr. Turner, came to me and said there was a French lady lodging at a cottage in the village. She had come for change of air, after being ill for months with typhoid fever in Lon- don." She had spent all her savings during her illness, and was verging on destitution, poor creature." "And Miss Chesney went to see her," said Straight, glancing at Dora with a smile. How did you know ?" she asked in surprise. Well, I employed the method of deductive reasoning. You do visit the sick, I know,"—a little smile flitted across her face-" so I expected you would visit this lady when you heard she was in need. Well, and then she said she would like to find a pupil to whom she could converse in French-read with, etc." Dora looked at him with a look of childlike wonder. And so it occurred to you that your French would be all the better for a little nibbing up, and you sug- gested to Sir Richard that she should come here." How did you find it all out so exactly," she cried. Oh, of course, Mademoiselle told you this morning." No, indeed she didn't." Then how did you know ?" Merely by the method of deductive reason- ing," he said, laughing. You've guessed it exactly," said Sir Richard, "but she had excellent letters of recommenda- tion." From Paris." Ye—es—from Paris." No English letters P" Well—no. I think they were all French; but the poor creature was so helpless-so- Exactly," said Mr. Straight—" so helpless that kind-hearted, confiding people would have considered it almost an insult to ask for such things as references; it was a good role—very." Further comment was prevented by the sound of wheels rapidly approaching over the gravelled carriage drive on to which the dining-room win- dow looked. It is a fly-from Pembridge, I think 1" cried Dora. "Perhaps it is Jadd," said John Straight, rising and going to the window. No—it's not- it's a clergyman.' Can it be Mr. Turner come to tell us some- thing about mademoiselle!" cried Dora. The next moment the door opened, the foot- man appeared bearing a salver with a card. He did not take it to his master but to the visitor. "For me ejaculated Straight in surprise; and taking the piece of pasteboard, he read aloud, "'The Rev. Ambrose Maitland.' I never heard the name before." (To be Continued.)
ABERGELE AND PENSARN URBAN…
ABERGELE AND PENSARN URBAN COUNCIL. MONTHLY MEETINC. MONDA"?.—Present Messrs T Evans (chair- man), J Pierce (vice-chairman), Pierce Davies, J Edwards, J Hannah, J C Knight, I Morris, G Perkins, I Roberts, G Williams, E A Crabbe (clerk), and M R Jones (surveyor). Unsatisfaotory Footpaths. The Finance Committee, in recommending the payment of the final certificate in con- nection with the Pentremawr Road widening scheme, also recommended the Council, in view of the unsatisfactory state of the footpaths, to require considerable portions to be re-mad. before t he retention money is handed over. The report was adopted. Surveyor's Report. The following items were reported by the Surveyor The Railway Company have diverted the water pipe that used to cross the railway along the railway fence, and again con- neccing it in the old roadway which used to lead to the shore. On the west side of the railway near Pentremawr Farm there stands a willow tree, and a branch about 9in in diameter over- hangs the roadway. During the last gale this tree was severely damaged, and there is danger of the branch during a storm being blown down, possibly causing further damage. The Rev J B Jones Bateman had been interviewed on the matter, and he consented to have the branch cut down. Plans had been submitted for a wall for Mr William Ellis, Tymawr, and for a kitchen at the C.M. Chapel. The report was adopted after a brief dis- cussion in reference to the willow tree. The Surveyor having stated that the owner was willing that the branch complained about should be cut down at the Council's expense, it was pointed out that the Council could require him to do it at his own expense. It was decided to write to the Rev J B Jones Bateman on the subject. The Board of Agriculture and Abergele Fairs. The Clerk reported the receipt of a letter from the above authority asking for informa- tion respecting Abergele cattle fairs, so as to enable them to publish a revised edition of their Market Register." Accompanying the letter was a schedule, and this the Clerk said he had filled in and returned, his answers including replies to the effect that the fairs were held in the streets of the town, there being no public sale yard, also that the stock disposed of came from various parts of Denbighshire and the surrounding counties, being afterwards distributed in various parts of England, including the counties of Lan- caster, York, and Lincoln. Questioning the Good of Guide Posts. The Clerk stated that some time ago he received a letter from the Cyclists' Touring Club calling attention to the great need of finger posts and direction plates in different parts of the country, and asking -the Council to meet the deficiencies where such occurred, as by so doing they would be conferring a boon not only upon cyclists, but upon the public gener- ally. Since then he had received a further letter askmg that a finger post or direction plate be erected at the junction of Water Street and Market Street, the latter thorough- fare being on the main road from Chester. The Chairman Why should we go to this expense to oblige strangers ? The Vice-Chairman That is not exactly the question. In this immediate neighbourhood we have done next to nothing in relation to this matter, while in the adjoining county of Flintshire a great deal has been done. I must say that to us who live a little inland it would be a source of great convenience if there were more of these finger posts. I have often had occasion to direct people at this particular spot. The Chairman said there was great com- plaint in Abergele about the speed at which cycles and motor cars passed through the town, and his opinion was that the addition of any direction posts would only encourage them to travel at a much greater speed. He preferred that they should be called upon to stop and make enquiries for themselves. Mr Perkins said the question of speed was a j matter for the police. At the same time there was another way of looking at this subject, and he hoped that so far as Abergele was concerned the county of Denbigh was going to keep abreast of other counties. The Chairman Have you seen anything of the kind at Rhyl ? Mr Perkins Yes, in Rhyl district; and at Colwyn Bay. I think as well that we should consider cyclists a bit. A Member It would not be a great expense. The Vice-Chairman said they must cater for visitors and the public at large in the same way that they expected to be catered for when they went abroad. He admitted he was a cyclist himself, but he considered the Council would be acting very narrowly if they did not do some- thing to meet that class of people in this instance He proposed that the request of the Cyclists' Touring Club be complied with, namely that a direction plate indicating the way and the distance to Rhyl be erected at the junction suggested. Mr Williams seconded. The Chairman Where would you fix it ? A Member On a lamp post. The Vice-chairman On the Chairman's property I should think. He will not forbid us, surely 1 Mr Morris, who proposed that the sign be erected provided the Cyclists' Touring Club pay the cost, considered that cyclists wanted too much nowadays. It was not enough that roads should be kept clear and hedges in good order they must have all the turnings care- fully labelled. Mr Davies seconded the amendment. Mr Williams It is not only the cyclists who complain of the lack of direction posts. The Vice-Chairman I don't see that a cyclist would derive any more benefit from the proposed sign than the driver of a carriage will. The original motion was carried by six votes to three, and the Chairman, who voted for the amendment, intimated that unless he was paid a rental he should not allow the sign to be fixed upon his property. The matter, however, was not discussed any further. Illness of an Official. Regret was expressed at the serious illness of Mr Davies, the Clerk's assistant, and on the motion of the Vice-Chairman a resolution was passed wishing him a speedy recovery. Proposed Gun for Dundonald Avenue. Mr Perkins said that now Dundonald Avenue was on the point of completion there was a matter he should like to mention which he did not thing would at all effect the ratepayers' pockets. Many distinguished generals, he said, had on their return from South Africa been presented with guns captured during the war, and he did not know of a more ap- propriate site for one of those guns than in the Avenue, either at the station end or Pentre Ucha end. He, therefore, proposed that a letter be written to Lord Dundonald asking whether a gun was obtainable, and if so, whether his lordship would use his influence to secure one for them for the purpose he had suggested. As to a site for the gun he did not think that there would be any difficulty, whichever end they desired to mount it, and the expense of fixing it would be insignificant. It would prove a great acquisition to the avenue when completed. The Chairman It will be very handy (laughter). The motion was seconded, and Mr Knight, a supporter of the proposal, remarked to Mr Davies, who was sitting next to him and who, it is believed, entertained unpopular views regard- ing the war Wouldn't you like to see a Long Tom there ? The Chairman What will the Pro-Boers say if this is carried out ? Mr Perkins Oh, if we are not going to be unanimous let us knock the proposal on the head at once. I ventually tne motion was carried, mr navies alone voting against it. I A Defiant Landowner. Replying to Mr Morris, the Surveyor said he had received a letter of complaint respecting the hedge along Sea Road, and he had also served the owner, Mr Booth, of Old Colwyn, with a notice requiring him to have it cut, but in reply he simply defied the Council to take action, contending that the hedge in question was outside the Council's district. Mr Morris But the branches overhang our district. The Clerk said that some time back Mr Booth defied the Council for about three months, but when they showed him that they meant busi- ness he complied with their requirements. The Surveyor undertook to again serve Mr Booth with a notice, and should this fail to have the desired effect stronger measures may be taken. The Need of a Cab Drivers' Shelter at the Railway Station. The Clerk, in reply to Mr Perkins, said he had written tc the Railway Company asking that a shelter be provided at the station for the convenience of the drivers, but so far they had simply acknowledged his letter, promising that the matter should receive attention. Mr Perkins It is a matter which means as much for the benefit of the Railway Company as for the convenience of the drivers or the public generally. The Vice-Chairman Do I understand the drivers pay for licenses for the stands they occupy at the station approach? ("Yes"). Well I wonder at them exacting anything of the kind, considering there is nothing in the shape of a shelter for them against stormy weather. The Clerk said they had no right to levy a charge upon drivers occupying stands on a public road. The Vice-Chairman: I can't stand such an imposition, exposed as these men are to all kinds of weather. At present the station accommodation generally is a disgrace to the neighbourhood, and I desire the Company to know that we have 8ur eyes open. I certainly enter my protest against the want of accom modation for cab drivers. Mr Perkins believed that if the heads of the Company really knew of the existing state of affairs they would see that things were rectified. With these expressions of opinion the matter dropped. The New Byelaws. The Council afterwards sat as a committee to consider the new byelaws. which we under- stand have since been adopted.

OUR FOOTBALL COLUMN. The feature of Saturday's First League football matches was that of the nine games no fewer than six resulted in favour of visiting clubs. The home teams to win were Aston Villa, who defeated Everton (2-1) Wolverhampton Wanderers, who got the better of Bolton Wanderers (3-1); and Bury, who triumphed over Sunderland (3-1). All the other matches resulted in the home teams being defeated, the scores being Notts County 2, Liverpool 0; West Bromwich Albion 2, Sheffield United 1 Sheffield Wednesday 1, Grimsby 0 Derby County 4, Blackburn Rovers 2 Stoke 3, Notts Forest 1 Middlesbrough 1. New- castle United 0. In the Combination Witton Albion defeated Newton-le-Willows 5-1, the half-time score being 3-1 Winsford United at home were defeated by Nantwich 3-2; Middlewich Athletic Rangers were 4 goals ahead of Burslem Port Vale at half-time, and finished up with a victory of 4-2 Chester at half-time had the upper hand of Tranmere byj3-0, the final score being 5-0 at Wrexham against Rhyl the home team led at the interval by 4-0, Wrexham eventually winning by 5-0; and at Birkenhead Bangor were defeated by 3-1. Goals from penalty kicks were scored by Witton, Winsford, Chester, and Birkenhead. NOTES BY OBSERVER. The Rhyl F.C. on Saturday last acquitted itself rather ingloriously. The League team at home Buffered defeat to the extent of 3 goals to 2, as a result of a sturdy fight with Wrexham Victoria, while at Wrexham the Combination team came a decided cropper, the verdict being 5-0 in favour of Wrexham. As for the Chester and District League match on the Grange Road ground, the issue was a disappointment, and reflected hard lines on the home team, who, however, made their formidable rivals go all the way, as the saying is. Wrexham Vies, be it remembered, had a reputation to main- tain, inasmuch as throughout two seasons they have not yet been beaten in a League encounter. The Rhyl team was represented as follows Goal, A N Other; backs, Vernon Jones and W Williams halves, H P Roberts, R Hughes and P Evans forwards, D W Jones, Love Jones, R Thomas, G Glass, and T Roberts. Mr Webster, of Chester, acted as referee. + The conditions were favourable to a good game. At the outset Rhyl invaded Wrexham's territory, but were repulsed before securing any material advantage, while at the other end directly after the homesters were given a lifer," when to score should have been the easiest thing ia the world. Taking every advantage of the relief afforded, the homebters, thanks to good progress by the right wing, again faced the Wrexham custodian at close quarters, the result being a well-earned goal by Thomas, who without any hesitation converted an accurate centre by D W Jones. Fora few minutes there was some warm work in front of Rhyl goal,the defending custodian saving finely time after time. At length the local backs helped the ball up the field, and after a brief bombardment of the visitors' citadel Rhyl secured a second goal, each of the three inside men of the front rank apparently sharing the responsibility for this success. Directly after the Vies" scored from a penalty, Hughes being the offending party. Again the home defence waa severely tried, the attack from the right wing being particularly strong. One hob shot struck the upright, but at the next attempt the visitors made the score level, the four goals all being the result of less than 25 minutes' work. For the next 20- minutes play was of a ding-dong nature, and corners falling to both sides were negatived by good defences. Glass certainly should have done better, as ought also D W Jones, on two or three occasions, but the arrival of half-time found the score (2-2) unaltered. A corner to the homesters was the first note- worthy incident of the second half, and shortly after Wrexham very narrowly missed scoring, the home goalkeeper on one occasion saving only with difficulty. In their next assault on the visitors' goal Rhyl experienced hard lines," the ball being banged over the line at a fairly good range within only a few inches of the upright. The visitors, having forced the game to the opposite end, spoilt a very favourable opportunity by offaide play, and the ball having been forced back, Thomas made a deserving but unsuccessful attempt to score. Subsequent* exchanges resulted in another attack on the Rhyl goal, in the course of which the goal- keeper was loudly applauded for two clever saves. In the interval between this and the next attack on the home goal, Rhyl obtained a fruitless corner. Wrexham retaliated, and the goalkeeper having been twice tested, the third shot had the desired effect (from the visitors' point of view, of course), Wrexham obtaiaing the lead about 20 minutes from the restart. Rhyl tried hard to equalise, but their frequent invasions proved unproductive. So also were those made by the Vies," thanks in a large measure to good defensive work by the Rhyl backs and halves, especially Williams, who proved a decided acquisition to the team. Close upon time T Roberts wasted a good chance of scoring, while another shot from the right wing nearly did the needful. As a result a free kick was given against the goalkeeper, who carried the ball too far, but this was cleared. Vernon Jones also made a good attempt to score, and disappointment was written largely on the home supporters' faces when the discovery was made that the ball had been landed outside instead of in the net. This proved to be the last attack on either goal, and the game ended Wrexham Victoria 3, Rhyl 2. Rhylites at Wrexham. Remembering the awe-inspiring deeds of the Wrexham F.C. already this season, it was with no very sanguine hopes that the senior team of the Rhyl F.C. journeyed to Wrexham last Saturday, to fulfil a Combination fixture. The Wrexham fellows have attained a wonderful stride in the last few weeks, and their 9-0 victory over Bangor followed by a win at Tranmere, notwithstanding that Tranmere were opposed to only nine men, did not augur well for Rhyl's success. The team that represented Rhyl was as follows -Goal Ellis; backs, J Jones and Ogilvy; halves, Dyer, Brookes, and Hall; forwards, Matthews, Jenki ns, Wellings, Parry, and T E Hughes. *• It was disappointing that Vernon Jones was unable to accompany the team to Wrexham, and the same applies to Vaughan, who was kept at home as a result of an accident, which it is feared means that he will have to keep off field for at least a month. However, we wish him a speedy recovery, and trust he may soon figure in his accustomed place. Wrexham won the toss, and within five minutes of the start, as a result of fine aggressive work, Shaw opened the score. About five minutes later Llew Griffiths headed a second goal for the homesters, following which the visitors nearly scored through a mistake by Davies, Robinson subsequently saving at the expense of a corner, which, however, proved fruit less. Then ensued an exciting attack on the Rhyl goal, which ended in a flying shot by Griffiths having the desired effect. Wrexham continued to give their opponents' defence plenty to do, the Rhyl forwards' breakaways being few and far between, and at half-time the homesters had a lead of 4 clear goals, though just before the inter- val Rhyl made a determined but fruitless attack on the Wrexham goal. In the second half Rhyl were more successful in holding their own, and the homesters scoring only once more, the game ended Wrexham 5, Rhyl 0. The score does not accurately represent Rhvl's share of the wanie, although it has to be admitted that so secure was the Wrexham defence that scarcely a chance of scoring presented itself to the visitors. Failure in this respect, however, must be attributed to the weakness of the forward line, the quintette, with perhaps one exception, being decidedly off colour. Jenkins alone seemed to be sure of the whereabouts of the uprights, the shoot- ing of the other being very erratic. A?ain, there was too much of that disposition to play an individual game, and the result was that they were frequently robbed before making much progress. Of the halves liall (late of Crewe Alexandra) played a very hard game, and did much to upset Wrexham's combination, while Brooks often popped up at a critical moment and relieved his side of danger. The backs were only fair, though Ogilvy was the safer of the two. Ellis had a great amount of work to do, and his exhibition of goal- keeping was about the finest he has given thia season. He cannot very well be blamed for any of the goals which beat him. Wrexham played an all-round reliable game. Rhyl Athletio v. Portmadoo. On Saturday the Athletic journeyed to Portmadoo to fulfil their return Coast League fixture. Rhyl won the toss and elected to play against the sun. Portmadoc soon got to work, and the visiting defence found plenty to do, Simons having some very difficult shots to deal with. The visitors tried hard to break through, but found the Port defence sound. After a deal of midfield play the home right-winger scored a rather soft goal, and half-time arrived with the score Portmadoc 1, Athletic 0. In the second half the Port succeeded in scoring twice, and a very hard fought game was brought to a close by a deserved victory for the homesters of three goals to nil. It will be remem- bered that three weeks ago Rhyl managed to conquer them by 3 goals to 2 at Rbyl, but the Port team has been materially strengthened since. Next Saturday the Athletic entertain Llanrwat in a Coast League match at Wellington Rd (opposite St. John's Church). Jottings. The Rhyl F.C. have just obtained the services of Sam Dyer, of Northwich. Dyer, who is a good right half-back, has played for Broadheath, and also for Northwich Wednesday. He should (a Liverpool paper states) prove an acquisition to the Welsh club. The new man was rather disappoint- ing on Saturday, and we expect better things of him to-morrow. The team to represent Rhyl against Witton Albion to-morrow, will be the same as that which journeyei to Wrexham last week, excepting that McWalter takes the place of T E Hughes. In the Chester and District Senior Cup competi- tion (first round) the Rhyl League team has to meet Gresford at Gresford on or before Nov. 1st. The League match between Chester and Rhyl has had to be postponed owing to the Chester team having to play a Cheshire Amateur Cup match to-morrow with Neston. Rhyl Athletic have to meet St. Helens' Recrea- tion in the third round (division 3) of the English Cup competition, Rhyl having choice of ground. Wrexham have to meet Nantwich in the same round. Abergele County School v Rhyl County School. The above match was played at Rhyl on Satur- day last. Abergele were fully represented, and turned out a heavy team. Rhyl's team was lighter and composed mostly of new elements however, the game was altogether in their hands. In the first half Rhyl scored four goals. (Everatt 3, J W Jonee 1). The second half showed that neither team was in the beet of condition, and one goal only being registered to the account of Rhyl, they thus won to the tune of 5-0 Rhyl County School:—Goal, Morris; backs, Robinson (capt) and Davies; halves, Williams, J W Jones, Lloyd; Forwards, Everatt, Elwyn Jones, W H Jones, Pearson, Lunt. Next week Rhyl County School meat Epworth College at Epworth. Fixtures for To-morrow. COMBINATION. Rhyl v. Witton Albion. Baugor v. Winsford United. Newton-le-Willows v. Birkenhead.

Y BEIBL YN YR EGLWYS YNG NGHYMRU."
Y BEIBL YN YR EGLWYS YNG NGHYMRU." Sef pregeth, wedi ei hargrafiu yn ffurf pamphlet, J a draddodwyd yn Ngwyl Ysgolion SuI Plwyf Dol-I gtllau, Mehefin 8fed (yr ail Sal gwedi'r Drindod), gan y Parchedig A 0 Evans, B.A., Arholydd Esgobaetbol Bangor. (Cwmni y Wasg Eglwysig Gymreig, Cyf., Lampeter. Pris Dwy Geiniogl. Er profi gwiredd yr hen ddiareb Gymraeg, Yn mbob gwlad y megir glew," sylwa yr awdwr parchedig fod cewri wedi eu codi gan Dduw ymhob eyfnod o'r byd i gyftawni gwaith mawr a phwysig, ac fel engreifftian 0 byn noda Moses, Dafydd, Elias y Thesbiad, a'r Proffwyd Esaiab dan yr Hen Destament. Dywed-" Nid cymwys wwerinwr fel Amos, ond angenrheidiol oedd cael tywysog fel Esay. Er holl fedrusrwydd rbyw Hosea, yr oedd yr awr yn galw am gawr o'i ysgwydd i fynu yn fwy ua'i gyd-ddynion," &c. Gwaiih y Proffwyd oedd proffwydo, hygwth, rhybuddio, cyngbori, a chynbyrfo, ac yr oedd yn apelio, y naill ar ol y Hall, i dri 0 lyfrau a osoda Duw 0 flaen llygaid pob dyn—natur, cydwybod, a'r Eglwys, er ceisio argyhoeddi y bobt o'u cam- weddan; ond eto i gyd, niwliog oedd eu trem, ar natnr, cymylog eu cydwybodau, ac hanesyddol yn unig oedd eu sel at Eglwys eu teidiau. Yna, daw y testyn i fewn yn naturiol, "Ceisiwch allan o lyfr yr Arglwydd, a daillenwcb." Hwn oedd ei apel olaf, hwn oedd i roddi y gair terfynol ar yr hyn a ddywedodd. Fel yn yr Eglwys Iuddewig, felly befyd yn Eglwys Crist, sy'n milwrio yma ar y ddaear, Gair DHW sydd i gadarnhau geiriau natur a chydwybod, a gweithrediadau a geiriau yr Eglwys fel datguddiad o Dduw." Y prif faterion yr ymdrinir a. bwynt yn y bregeth yw y rhai canlynol (I) Defodaeth y Beibl yn yr Eglwys; (2 Y Beibl yn vr Eglwys yw sail ein Ffydd (3) Darlleniad yr Ysgry':hyr Lan yn y Gwasanaethau Cvhoeddus (4) Y Be-ibl yn yr Eglwys i ddangos Crist; (5) Gwaith Eg- lwyswyr Cymreig i geisio lilyfr yr Arglwydd (6) Gwaith Eglwyswyr Cymreig i roddi Beibl i eraill (7) Beibl yr Eglwy. sydd wedi cadw y Gymraeg yn fyw. Dyna faes helaetb a chynyrcbiol. Oud ni cbaniata amser na gofod i ni fanyla rbyw lawer. Ond yn gyntaf, defodaeth y Beibl yn yr Eglwys. Sylwa y pregethwr ei fod yo defnyddio y gair 'defodaeth yn ei ystyr eaingaf a Ifawnaf ond, yn sicr, rbaid i ni ddweyd ar unwaith nad ydym yn cymeradwyo y gair yn y cysylltiad yma, er ein bod yn deall yr ystyr a roddir iddo. Gair amwys ydyw, ac aneglur i'r darllenydd cyffredin, a dweyd y lleiaf am dano. Wrth ddefodaeth y golygir yma, yn ddiamen, yr arferiad, neu y defnydd a wneir o'r Beibl yn yr Eglwys. Dywed yr awdwr (1) fod defudaeth yn ami yn feirniad- aeth ar fywyd dynol, ac yn ddryeh i ddangos gwendidau a rbagoriaethau cymdeithcs ac unig- olion; (2) y rbydd defodaeth ddadganiad i'r teimladau ac (3) fod defod yn cylymu unrbyw gymdeithas yn dynacb at (wrth) eu gilydd. Dar- lleniad o'r Beibl a olygir wrth defodaeth yn yr holl gysylltiadau hyn, a phaham na ddywedid hyny, yn hytrach na cbymylu y meddwl ag ymadroddion amwys ac aneglur? Prif nod y bregpth ydyw dangos lie priodol y Beibl yn yr Eglwys. Sylwir yn dra phriodol yn y bregeth ar ..mlygrwydd safle y bedyddfan ymhob eglwys- wrth y porth; a phen pellaf yr eglwys yw lie bwrdd yr allor. Saif y ddarllenfa ihwng y bed- yddfan a'r allor, er dangos II fvd yn rhaid i'r baban ar ei daith o'r fedyddfan i'r allor groesi cysgod y ddarllenfa." Ya y ffurf a'r dull o wneuthur, urddo,ta cbysegrn esgobion, offeiriaid, a diaconiaid, y mae dodi Beibl yn llaw yr ym- geisydd yn rhan o'r gwasauaeth, fel arwydd fod en gweinidogaetbau a'u swyddi yn sylfaenedig ar, ac i'w cario allan yn ysbryd y Beibl. II. Y Beibl yn yr Eglwvb yn sail ein Ffydd. Cyfeirir yma yn neillduol at y cbweched o'r Eithyglau Crefydd er dangos mewn modd diam. heuol gysylltiad yr Eglwys a'r Ysgrytbyr Lan. "Y mae'r Ysgrythyr Lan yn cynwys pob peth angenrheidiol i iachawdwriaetb," &c. Tra na ordeinir di.n yn erbyn Gair Daw," yw arwyddair yr Eglwys. Ceir hefyd yn un o'r Erthyglau y geirian canlynul :Nid cyfreithlon i'r Eglwys ordeinio dim a'r y sydd wrthwyneb i ysgrif'enedig Air Daw," &c. III. Darlleniad yr Ysgrythyr Lan yn y Gwas- anaethau Cyboeddus. Dengys y bregeth sydd ger ein bron y lie amlwg ac arbeuig a rydd yr Kglwys i'r Beibl. Dywed—"Nid oes, ac ni fu erioed, gyfundrefn o addoliad, neu ffurf o wasan- aeth crefyddol, yn mha nn y mae y Beibl yn cael lie mor anrhydeddus, ie, a chan gymaint o le, ag yn ngwayanaeth yr Hen Eglwys," &c. Buasai dda genym pe b'tii gofod yn caniatau i ni roddi difyniadau helaethach ar byn, ond wele un sylw pellach ag sydd yn wir bob gair—" Pe gadewid y rhanau i'w darllen i chwatth a dewisiad y gwein- idog ar y tro, y tebygolrwydd fyddai mynych ddarlleniad 0 rai rhanau ar dranl gadael allan ranan eraill. Sylwir hefyd yn ngwrs y bregeth ar ddarlleniad y llithiau, yr epistolau a'r efengylau, a r salmau." Y rheswm a roddir yn y bregeth dros ddarllen yr epistolau a'r efengylau yn ngwasan- aeth y Cymuo ydyw dangos y pwysigrwydd o fyfyrio as astudio ymadroddion byrion a cbynwys- fawr. Yr oedd hyn yn newydd i ni. Dichon fod peth gwir yn y sylw cyn belled ag y mae yn myned, ond nid oes achos i ni ddweyd wrth yr un Eglwyswr cyfarwydd a'r gwyliau a'r tymorau Eglwysig fod diben llawer uwch na hyny i ddar- lleniad y colect am y dydd a'r epistolau a'r ofengylau, Nis gallwn lai na difynu y sylw canlyool-" Yn wir, y fath bwysigrwydd rydd yr Eglwys i'r Ysgrythyr Lan, frl y mae tair rhan o bedair o'r Llyfr Gweddi Gyffredin wedi ei gym- eryd air yn air o'r Beibl," &c. Eto Clyw pawb o honom yr un detholiad o Lylr yr Argl- wydd, pa un ai mewn EgI wys Gadeiriol hardd, Eglwys henafol blwyfol, neu mewn ystafell genhadol dlawd a diaddurn mewn tref fawr, y byddom yn addoli." IV. Y Beibl yn yr Eglwys i ddangos Crist. Paham ? Oherwydd mai Cjrff Crist yw yr Eglwys. Fel y Pen, felly y corff Beibl Crist ydyw. "Dyma Feibl f anwyl Iesu, Dyma rodd deheulaw Daw," &c. V, Gwaitb Eglwyswyr Cymreig i geisio Llyfr yr Arglwydd, "Dywedai yr Esgob Richard Davies o Lanelwy, ac wedi hyny Tyddewi, fod yna rai rhanau o'r Beibl yn 1527 yn Gymraeg. Ond LladiD, yn dra thebygol, oedd y rhan fwyaf o'r hen ysgiifaa cyn amser yr Argraffwasg." Rboddir yma restr faith o enwaa cytieithwyr a hyrwyddwyr lledaeniad y Beibl Cymraeg ar ol y Diwygiad yn yr unfed ganrif ar bymtbeg, ond rhaid eu gadael. VI. Gwaith Eglwyswyr Cymreig i roddi y Beibl i eraill. I Eglwys Deiniol a Dewi Sant y mae brodorion yr Iwerddon, yr Alban, Ynys Manaw, a Llydaw, yn ddyledus am Lyfr yr Arglwydd. Nid yn unig rhodui Beibl i'r Cymro a wnaeth yr Eglwys, ond Eglwyswyr Cymru fuont yn foddion ac ofTerynau, yn Haw yr Argl- wydd, i roddi un i'w chw:ier-illithoedd," VII. Beibl yr Eglwys sydd wedi cadw y Gymraeg yn fyw. Nid oes un ddadl nac anrheu- aeth nad y Beibl oedd un 0 r prif ddylanwadau nertbol yn nghadwra, th yr hen iaith, ond nid yr unig ddylanwad. Nid yw yn pertbyn i ni, ar hyn 0 bryd, ddadlen y pwbc. Dyna yr ben lwybran! Ond beth am eu rbodio ? Arnoch chwi fel aelodau y mae'r cyfrif- oldeb yn gorphwys Y mae llais Pen Mawr yr Egiwys yn dywedyd heddyw wrtb bob un 0 honoch. Porthwch fy wyn'! Bageiliwch fy nefaid "I Pregeth ragorol a gwir amserol, a chawsom foddhad anarferol with ?i darllen. A da y gwnelid pe gwasgerid hi wIth y miloedd trwyDde a Gogledd Cymru.
