STORY FOR T-DAY.1 I Her Engagement. '"Shati we not sit down?" be said. 'I Snd it rather waJking, don't yon?" I "Yes, ra.t.her," retu-cnc'd bis companion. He took a, large silk ba'ndkerch.ief from his poc-ket, and carefully spread it upon the &a.nd. ''Oh, no.-Iiing will hurt this dr&ss," she said, a- smile. "Besides, it washes." "Does it? TTia.t'3 sengibic—and. i,t looks so delicate, tc-o." She seated herself comfortably, while he stret.ched himself up(»n the sand besi<1e her, with. an easy lack of conventionality. Her drees was a, plain white San.nel. unadorned, save for the airing cuB's a-nd wide collar, which were blue, like her eyes and the Florida. sky above them. Her white sailor bat had a, blue band about it. The impetuous gulf breezes which, blew little tufts of her light hair about heo* face in rath.sr a, trying manner were powerless to spoil the charm of that sweet girlish countenance. Her oo''npan,ion was a man perhaps ten years older than herself; 'not a. tnan of .fashion, one would have been quite sure after the nrst glance—a man of business, perhaps of letters, but not a, devotee of society. "Isn't this glorious?" be said. pushing back his bat s.nd drinking in his big draughts of the pure sea air. I fnall miss it all." Before them stretoh.ed what seemed a limitless expanse of water, somewhat tur- bulent just now. ajid far oat, where water and sky seemed to meat, there could be faintly' discerned the white sail of a SshJng smack. On each side of them glistened the wtnte beach, unmarked by tree or house, for they were on a narrow island, a small strip of aand where the life-saving crew kept their lonely vigils. Back of them and a. little to the left, was the station, with the lifeboa-t within, ready and willing for a. summons. A hundred yards or so down the beach were the rest of tbd gay party of pleasure-seekers, separated into groups—some walking up and down sea-rching fo<r treasures 'the sea. had left in its wake, others loDing idly oc. the sand. "Have you decid&d to leave to-morrow?" asked the girl. I artist. Six weeks of idling in Florida;—a<t a. season of the yea-r, too—is enough for a ma.n with. work to do. Don't you think so?" "Well. yes," she said, smiling. "I suppose it rs. Yet it seems a you cannot wait for* the rest of us when we return so soon." "I wish I might" (regretfully). "Are your plans for the summeT fully matured as yet?" "Ws are to go from here to AsheviIIe, I believe." she said, rather warily; "then to X&wpcrt and the West later. Aunt Helen a'e'p'rns to fee! it her Christian duty to be for- ever dragging me from pLace to place." "She thinks ? a duty she owes your posi- tion in society, no doubt, to do tlie fashion- able thing at the fa.Jiona,ble time. And yon enjcy Be made the statement, but glanced up at her inquiringly. "Oh, yes." ahe repHcd; "I enjoy it. But too much fashion is apt to be wearing, you know." "Yes." he said, I fancy it would be." "Now, this,"she continued. wi'th a little octn- sweep of her handa, "this Ls dif- ferent. I have really enjoyed our sojourn "So 11"6 I," he responded, 'heartily.

"Not exactly that," he replied; "bnt a. j rea..lly nice, sensible girl." ) Involuntarily ahe g'anced at him resents fully, but he was watching the waves as.they splashed and tumbled upon the beach, a little higher every time.

You are doing so well, I am quite proud of the way you sing, Oh, Ppo-miee Me. There is no use trying to sing or do any- thing else without someone to help and enoourage one," he replied. "Oh, weU." <ybe &aMi. ch'eerful-ty. "New York ia not such a, large place. I suppose we ahaH gret b:M;k there a. wh'iie, wheTt we-h&ve eajha-uated aU the rasorts and points of interest in the country. I am usually allowed to spend December and January at home." "You know very well," he EMd, 'that you will have no time for m.e in New York.

"That ia the way you look a.t it, is it?" she said, quietly. Very wel! then. we will have to rest content witQ the memory of the plea- aan't times we have spent together in ]Morida. He made no re!p)y, a.nd aA thie juuot.ure the crowd on the ,0e.ar3h was to be augmented by fifteen or twenty new-comers. Bits of g'ree't''ing a,nd ?ay laa-ghtcr were wafted to the couple on tho sand.

She ha.ila from New York; I can tell from the cut of her frock. Illb-y, it looks like —I believe—yes. it is Nellie :Mayfa.ir." i "Not the little widow! By Jove. it- is! and she sees us." A dainty Qgare in a grey gown, with the latest thru? in hats t.o maJkh, carTyi.ng a. fluffy parasoi, and wal-king with '&o(me diniculty over the g.a.nd in small, high-heeled shoes, approached them.

After rapturously embracing one and shak- ing hands with the other, Mrs. Ma,yfair placed a hand on each of her fri-and's shoul- ders, and, regarding her with the deepest reproach. ,¡¡;d;- Oh, Dora,, how conid you trea.t me so?

SQUtRE'S MOTOR CAR ——————— ? ———————. I QUASHED CONV)CT!ON. I J.P.'s Accused of Partia!ity At the Carmarthenshire County Council on Wednegd&y tTiere -was another interesting dis- cussion. on the bill of JE35 odd which the council was a&ked to pay as cost's in the motor appeal case a4 the county quarter s&seions, in which the conviction of Mr. J. V. Colby. J.P., Ffynonf>, for driving a, motor- car to the common, dauber was quashed. Mr. John Joo1"9 '(Paircethyn) moved that the payment, of the bill be deferred in order that the clerk should call tlle p.tt<'ntion of the Lord-lieutenant and the Lord Chancellor to the conduct of the six magi?trat<?s who had voted for the quashing of the conviction. It waa, lie sa.id, a bilL which the ratepayers should not be called upon to pay at all. He 'w&a prevented from saying what he wuntcd to say at the st-anding jo-iat committee, but ?Ten tha.t body had come to t'he coBcluedon that the proseeuting policeman was cerha.inly not wrong in bringing the action, a-ud that wa.s exactly the eame as saying that somebody else had done wrong. He was only echoing a very large volume of opinion that the re ha.d h&en a miscarriage of justice at the quarter sextons. (Hear, he?r). sec,?o:.nnse. l Lewes (Llyisne-wydd) said that, aB one of the oldest magistrates in the county, he had listened with surprise to the con- demnation of magistrates in general. Mr. C. E. Morris (Carmarthen) suggested that, if there were any question of right or wrong in the matter, they, as a county I council, should fully approve of what the con- &table did, as he had done his duty as a man without respect to persons. (Hear, hear.) The county council ought to show their feelings I towards the constable. He ha,d been told that, for want of a etop-wa.tch, he was a liar, and he (the speaker) proposed that the con- stable be given a stop-watch. He would be pleased to subscribe towards a, fund for the purpose. ('Hear, hear.) Mr. H. Jones-Daviea (Glyneiddan) supported. He knew of no case that ha-d raised eu<'h uneasiness and exasperated the people Fo much. and they owned Mr. Johns a debt of gratitude for bringing the matter forward aga.in. Why were the public to pay this bill of JE35? Every ratepayer ought to know. It wae because the majority of 'magistrates a:¡em.bled a.t carter sessions on June 30 taet decided to u the deciio.n o.f ftve magi. strates in petty-sessions, and aDowed a squire named Colby, hailing from Pembrokeshire, to go ecot-free from the charge of driving his motor-car to the common danger. It waa common knowledge that the vice-chairmaa of quarter sessions (Mr. Arthur Lewie), whø pre- sided on that occasion—who was a barrister of expedience and standing. and a man whose integrity was beyond reproach—and the other gentlemen who triad the case were in favour of -vietion. but they were of supporting the conviction, but they were by other magistrates who came to CaTTna,rt'bem that day. co doubt wHh a great sense of and bi-it who came back after luNch and sat until 6.30 p.m. until the ca,se concluded, which spoke well for their physical endurance, if for DothiD? pD)e. Some of them were aliens on the bench, and he haano doubt that, if the public pronounced judgment on them, the public would c!aasify them aa undesirable aHens. (Laughter.) He knew that the gentry were very anxious that the matter should be hashed up. but it was not a matter to be npshed up, and the nerce light of public opinion should be put upon it, They-declined to pl&ce their rights and liberties at the mercy of magistrates who acted as those he had referred to had done.

!M)8SEDBYTWOFEET Channel Swimmer's Peri) NEARLY RUN DOWN IN A FOG There waa a sensational ending yesterday to Mr. Edward Heaton's attempt to swim the Channel from Dover to Calais, the swimmer and the friends accompanying him having a, very narrow escape from being run down by a mail st.ea.mer during a. dense fog. The excitement on board the a,ccomparnying tug Champion was intense, Heaton being in the utmost jeopardy. Captain Simmons, of the tug Champion, stated that the margin by which the stpa-mer missed striking Reason with its paddle wheel wa,s" only about two feet. When the incident occurred the swim had been going on for nearly six hours, during the last two of which a. very dense and dangeroue fog had sprung up. The fog gradually got thicker, and the tug kept continuously sounding her siren. It was evKlent to those .on board fha-t. there was imminent risk of being run into, and all a,t oue-e there loomed out of the fog, almost on the top of the little fleet that accom- panied the swimmer, a- Large paddle steamer which proved to be one of the French Calais m&il packets. THhe big vessel was -not seen until she was within little more than a ship's length away. It was a most ex- citing moment. The siren was frantically set going without intermission, a,nd the pilot called out, For God's Sake, Shout all of you, or the steamer will be over us a<nd the swimmer." One and all obeyed his instruction to the best of their ability, and just when a cit,astr<),phe a<ppeaj*ed inevitable the steamer went a-bout ajid juat clea.red Heaton. Tea minutes after this came the end of the swim. The tremendous wash of the steamer <M5 she passed so -close to Heaton caused him to ship a quantity of sea, waiter, which caused him to vomit violently, and brought about considerable prostration. For tho greater pa-rt of his swim te used hie favourite overa.riH stroke, occasionally varying it wit'h 't<he breast stroke. Progress w&a very ra-pid in the nrst hour, bnt the fog, which had prevailed eoj'ller in tthe morning, came up a.g'a.in during the second hour, blotting out the English cliffs. At ten o'clock the tide had begun to set to the westward, and against the wind this made a. very bad sea. Heaton was naturally very much upset by his misfortune. When he left the wa-ter he had been swimming for six hours all but three minutes, and bearings showed that he was six miles on Dover, and Bad covered in all ten' miles. He eoon recovered, and in half an hour was on deck talking to hia friends. He expressed his intention of hav- ing another try.
