I The Chain of Love ) The nrst link in the chain of love is always carefully traced by the newly-engaged lovers.

TTia.t first link! How quickly it linked BtaeLf to yet a-notjier wmch was to go on joining up and &trc.henin.g UTLtil the man a.nd. madd a<woke to the fact tha.& love had bound them tig-h-tly together. and that life would hold no joy for t-ecrn if aught cajne to break the chains of L&ve and &e't tbeTn free%'f its bonds. It is such a. trine, thig nrst link in the cha.i'n of love. A mere glance from a. st.ranger's eyes, & ohajice a.ccideBft, D. prosa-ic introdu.otion, au a.n.tbc.yiEg inciden't, a. mutual grief, aji atmna- ing episode, each and all will give .rise to the introduction of interest tha.t will lead to the a.roU3ing of warmer feeùiThgS.

WOMEN IN EAST INDIA I On the day of her marriage the East Indian %irt is, saya a. writer in a Lancashire journal, usually placed in a palanquin, shut up tight, and carried to her hoUBe. Hitherto she has been the spdild pet of her mother; now she is to be the little slave of her Trother-in-law. upon whom she is to wait, whose commands she is to implicitly obey, and who teaches her what she must do to please her husband-what dishes he likes best, and how to cook them. Of her husband she sees little or nothing. She is of no more account to him than a little cat or s, dog would be. When she is a child, she is never allowed to go anywhere. The little girls are 'married as young as three years cf age; and, should the boy to whom such a baby is married die, the next day &he is called a widow, and is from henceforth doomed to perpetual widow- hood; she can never marry again. A<3 a widow, die must never wear any jeA ellerv, never dress her h a ir, never sleep on a oed—nothing but a piece of matting spread over a hard brick floor, and sometime with not even that between her and the I bricks; a,nd, uo matter how ccol the night L ay be, ebe must have no ether cohering tbe thin garment ahc has worn in the d.j,y. She mut ea-t but one -meal a day, and that of tTie co-arsest kind of food, and once in two wM*ks z3he must fast for twenty-four hours; then not a. bit of food or a drop of liquid mu.st pass her lips, not even if ahe is dying. 6he may never even look on at any mar- riage ceremonies or festivals. It would be an evil cm'en for her to do so. She may have been a high ci;sle woman, but on her becom- ing a. widow even the lowest servants may order her to do whaMver M distasteful to themselves. No woman in the house must ever speak one viord of love or pity ta her II for it i9 supposed that if a. woman showB tho eHghtest commiseration to a wiL, she will inta.liibly become a. widow herself before ¡ very long.

STORY FOR TO-DAY.
STORY FOR TO-DAY. Proud Madetine Joyce I Strawberries! strawberries! Very fine and fresh—lady, please buy! But Madeline Joyce, leaning from the open window, with her cheek idly supported on her hand, shook her bead. No, I don't, wajit any, child." And the strawberry girl passed en, her clear shrill voice echoing fainter and fainter in the distance as she went. Madeline gazed after her with sad, violet- grey eyes. "Poor and proud' proud and poor!" she murmured to herself: "Oh. heaven! why. was I not yonder ragged strawberry girl, or even the child who swoops the Cl"OS5ing3 and earns an honest penny now and then' But now—now my hands are tied by mamma.'s absurd prejudices! Well. Beatrice, what is' it?" For her younger sister had come noiselessly in—a. tall slip of a thing. lika otne of the graceful &eld Hides that grow in solitary places. "The bill from the baker's, Madeline!" "Another bill!" with .an impatient lift of the eyebrows. Did you tell the man we had. no. money, Beatrice?" "What would have been the use, Maddy? Of course, I did not tell him." And mamma?" She does net know—e'he is reading i.n the paj'Ioa:r; e-he wiU 110 let me the -table- cloth; &he says it is not work for ladies. Oh, Matddy. wh'a.t sha.11 we do!" Madeline roce and began pacing impa- tiently up a.cd down the room, her white ale-nder bands clasped ever her head. "Hush!" she cried, abruptly, "There ia a. ring a.t the bell. It m Mrs. Benjamin again. Go, tell her I a.m engaged—busy—gone out— anythin-g you please. No—stay—stay! Per- haps I h&d better see her, after a.ll." And Madeline went downstairs to the darkened room, where Mrs. Joyce sat in faded silk Mid dajTied lace, a relic of the glorious past, with white, wasted handd folded in her lap, and an embroidered ottoman under her f. "It is like a. dream," Madeline eaid to her- self, smiling impa.tienttly, as Mrs. Benjamin and her mother prattled on about the current topics of the day. "And to t.hink that there is nothing in the house for dinner! Perhaps, Mrs. Benjamin wiU aak manroLa to dine, and Bee and I can send cut for some biscuits. We can ea.t anything!" And through her disjointed meditations her mother's soft, sweet voice sounded, aa voices sometim-ea sound, when one is half Bleeping, half a.wa.ke. "To the Lakes with you? My dear Mrs. Benjamin, you are very kind. I am sure, and Maddy muat nse her own discretion about accepting..Do you darling? Mrs. Benjamin want& you. to accompany her to the Lakes as soon as she has secured a governess for the dear little boys. I am sure it would be a charming' opportunity for you to see a little of life; for circumstances, you know "—with a gentle IlM.le eigh—" pre- clude me from giving you muoh variety." Madeline looked up with a sudden', glitter in her eyes; and Mrs. Benjamin thought with surprise how pretty Mrs. Joyce's eldest girl was growing. A governess? I think I know of someone, Mrs. Benjamin, who will suit you. if—if your terms are at all li.beral." "Sixty pounds a. year and all expenses paid," said Mrs. Benjamin, complacently. "I think it isn't at all stingy. Who is tt Madeline?" "A young lady—a, friend of mine. When do you want her?" At once; and then we can be oT without dela.y. You will accompany us, Madeline?" Ob. of course—of course. That is, if mamma approves?" with a glance at the I pretty, faded emgy of former gentility, who sat in the shadows beyond, as bentted her darned and withered complexion. And Mrs. Joyce smiled faintly. How ready the young birds are to Sy a.wa.y and leave the parent rest." abe sighed. Well. it ia but natural. I can hardly blame Maddy for being anxious to leave so dull a place as this." Mamma," cried Madeline, pae&ionately, "it is not that. Oh! minima., if I could only tell you! And she hurried out of the room with a choking gasp in her throat. Mrs. BMt j&min did not like scenes. She locked on with civil womcLerme'nt. But she understood it all—o.fter a. Idttle while. "The landlord again!" cried Mrs. Joyce, in her soft, wen-modulated vodcc. Mamma." aa-id Bea.trice. hurriedly. it's three months since ho was here last, a.nd, don't you retnember, we didn't Pay Turn &he could say no more. for just then Mr. Athding him&elf followed on her footsteps— a ta.11, nne-looking man. about and thirty, da-rk as a Spaimiard. with chin a.nd txro.w as O;J,lm as th..o;¡,t of an a.noient Ro''na.n statue. Mm. Joyce drew herself dig- ninedly up. Thia intrusioTi is aoa-rcely called foir, Mr. Atheling," sajd My daaigbteir trajie- a<cts my bus.i.ness a,na.ir3 for me—my da.ug'h't.e<r. who is now at the .Lakes, or going ¡ thera immed.i.a;tely," Can I &ee her?" Hr. aaked, quietily. I presume so, if you to Mrs. Bruce BeTi.ia<mic's, No. 7, Pa.rk." Thanks, Tnadta-m. Ftpay excuse me for dis- turbi-ng you." Mrs. Joyce bowed t.lie of a.n ex- Emfpre&a. a.nd Mr. Afheling withdrew. "That's ovej, 'tha.nk goodness!" siaid dhe, amd ahe buried 'heT noee once more m the p'agea of a book. Btit Bee was by mo means ceirtain tm&t it waa over. Mamma might bea.r some Ctf iber own burdens," ahe murmured u.nsympa.t'he'tioally to 'heT'&alf. It ian't fa.r. upoa Maddy to s'end peo-ple <there." Mr. Atheling himgelf walked along the street, with something of indigna.tion rising up within his breast. Madeline Joyce is a good a,nd bea.utiful girl," he said to himself, ajid for her sake I have borne with these people longer than I otherwise should. But dress and gaiety, a.nd endless expense at the lakes, with a. year' rent due, that is altogether a different matter. I have been mistaken in Madeline Joyce, and the sooner she understands it the better. A mere society bntterny—tco proud t<t work. too frivolous to atop and think! And I had. Eancded beT so diSeren't." Mrs. Benjamin's tall footman put on a supercilious grin as Mr. Athelicg asked for Miss Joyce. The new gov'neas." said he. 'Upstairs, second stcr&y. back, plea&e." And with a backward motion of his thumb the footman went about his business; while Mr. Atheling, somewhat surprised a.nd a little annoyed, ascended the sta-ircase by himsetf. The door waa half open, a.nd even as he knocked a.t the panels be could see Madeline Joyce on a low sofa in the window, a book I in her lap a-nd two or three chubby little I-oys swarming around her. evidently intent on anything' and everything but their lesions. She started up. crims'oin ajid confuted, at the eight of the dark handsome face she knew so well. "It is about the rent," she gasped. "Yes, yes. I kno-w. We cannot pay it just yet: but —but——" He smiled as he took her hand. "Yoo. are not going to the C!unberla-nd 'Lakes, then?" "Yas. I Mrs. governess. Only miamma does not know. It would brca'! her heart. Mr. Atheling. And the very aist quarter's salary I receive shall be forwarded immediately to yoa- For——" "Madeline!" he burst forth, impTiIsivieIy. "1 have mistaken you—I have misjudged you altogether. Will you parc!on me?" "I don't understand you. Mr. Atheling." And then he explained. Madeline's scarlet upper lip curbed. "Ajid you believed I could go fashion hnnt? ing. pleasure-seeking, while—while w? owed money tba.t we could not pa.y! Oh, Mr. Atheling'" Five minutes Master Claren-oe Ben- jamin. the oldest and most aggravating of the trio of boys, rushed down to hia mother's boudoir, where Mrs. Benjamin was half dis- tracted over the mysteries of packing for the Lakes. "Mamma! ma.mma!" he howled, grasping oor band, "come quick. There's a stra<nge whispermg to Miss Joyce. a<nd eha's cry- 'DS. Bat when Mrs. Benaamin reached the scene of action the tears were all dried up, and Madeline was smiling and colouring radiantly. Oh. M". AtMing', ft ia yon!" cried the lady, recognising the wealthy landholder a.t a glance. "And Maddy——" I may as well -ell yon," sadd Madeline, softly. "Mr. Athelicg has asked me to ma,rry him. and——" And you will lose your governess." sadd Mr. A'thelia'tg, efmjHag. So Madeline Jojoe never gave up her hOD t pride, but she -was poor no longer, either in j heart or purse. And she went to the Lakes, all: but it was aa a. brida, not aa MM.

Wreck of the Chathamj
Wreck of the Chatham j BtGGEST EXPLOStON ON RECORD The Ghatha.m, which was sumk in the Suez Cajial on September 6, is to be blo-wTi up. At the coimpany's offices in Paris it is explained that every precaution against accident has been taken. The ejects of the explosion may be felt within a radius of five kilometres, but outside that limit perfect security will reign. There will be no fear for any buildings, as the ship is lying in. the midst of the desert. The canal itself must suffer, but this has been provided for, and as goon as the explosion has taken place the work of repair will be entered upon. It will only last a few days, so that the interruption to traaic will be of brief duration. The Chatham ia to be blown up on Thursday morning. On the previous day divers will lay in its hold, which contains explosives, several cages of dynamite. which will be connected with a spot at some dist-arl<w by electric wires. Then, when the moment has come, the engi- neer of the Nobel Company will press a button and the etghty tons of dynamite will be blown up. This will, as is pointed out, be the biggest explosion of the sort on record. The worst hitherto chronicled was the San- tander catastrophe, twelve years ago, when 30 I tons of dynamite stowed away in the hold of a ship blow up, killing 600 persons and wound- ing over 2,000 more. Of course, in this case the destruction was immense, as the vessel was right in the harbour, and, moreover, a quantity of steel rails was lying on its deck. The explosion will be more formidable in the case of the Chatham, but, as remarked, it will take place well away in the desert, and after the adoption of every possible precau- tion.

I NEWPORT - MURDER
I NEWPORT MURDER PRISONER SENT FOR TRIAL. Cooke in the Witness Box. ?SEVERC CROSS-EXAMINATION SEVERE CROS8-EXAM!NAT!ON The penultimate stage in the trail of the ca<-fc for alleged wife murder at Newport was reached to-day. when the prisoner, William Beavan, was brought up on remand before the magistrates for examination of witnesses to complete the case. so as to send it to the assizes, which will be held at Monmouth .n the middte of November Cn the bench the .justices were the Mayor (Mr. B. Wilkinson), Alderman T. Canning, and Mr. T. Cordey. There wm a. large crowd of sppctators at the back of the court, but the police, an on former occasions, exercised a wise discretion in preventing anything like a glut of people in and about the pa&3a6c,<> and floor of the court house. Two of the prisoner's siste-rs occupied sf!:as Hanking the .solicitors' t<uble. The accus&d. William Beavan, waa brought into court punctually at eleven o'clock, and was permittee by the ma-gistrates to be seated during the proccedinga He exhibited the sf-me nea.t, clean, and placid appearance which ha-d characterised him on the previous day at the inquest. Re follow-ed the course of the oatM aJmost unmoved, aa though he were resig-ned to a- grca.t sorrow. Mr. Harold Pearce (from the Director of Public Prosecutions Depa.rtme'nt of the Treasury) appeared to prosecute; Mr. Digby Powell appeared for the defence. Mr. Harold Pca.roe made a short stateTnent in opMiing. He said the accused, William Beavan, was charged with maliciously and of maJico aforethought killing a.nd murdering bn wife, 8,a;ra. A-nn Beava.n, c'Q September 19 Tho'ugh, paid Mr. Pearcc, it was c. very aerious charge it did no't present any great diflic Ities. The facta were simple. PrMO'ner ha<i been in South Africa, until a, few months a,go, and the decea.sed (his wife) had been Uving a,t Xewpoa-t with man named Cooke. Prisoner came htome on August 29, a;cd took lodgings at the London Restaurant in Newport. He visited Cooke's house, and tb. deceased visited him at. the restaurant, sometimes in company with one of her children. There seemed to have been some discussion :1.'5 to how the parties were to go on in the future-whether the deceased woman was to live with Cooke or return to her husband. On September 19 Mrs. Be&va.n w'ent to the rasta-urant with her little boy, aged six years, and had dinner with the prisoner about 1.50. After that, as was their custom, they went to the prisoner's bedroom, on the third noor, and remained there till about 4.30 pm., when Mr. Mattick, the ma-nager of the house, heard the woman scream. He went out on to the landing, and saw the woman going downstairs bleeding from a wound in the neck.

The wife was quite una'Me to attend the inquiry. Poli&e-sergea-nt Scott described the dis- covery of the bodies, and sa-id that th;a youngest boy, Albert, was blindfolded, with a hiandkerchief. Head's body waa only pa,rtly dressed, and his jacket and waiatcoo.-t had, appa.remt.ly, be&n carefully placed oa the ground, with his ha<t on top of them. Undemea/th the haJ< was a pencil-writ.'t'en note addressed to the coroner, which read:- "AH are dead and in HeaTen. God ba.Te meny on my aoul. I have beein a terriMe sufferer." Dr. L'o<;kye!T stated 't.h.aft he knew the deceasoo very we'll, and he had la.tely pa.id he was worried over proposafis for insurance. Ba.ttery-scrgean.t St,a.mp, of the Royal Gar- rison Artillery, stationed R.t Bulford, d-epo&ed to r&ceiving a. letter from Head, in which he saoid:I ajn going to cross the line with 'f my poor boys.
