STORY FOR TO-DAY. A Lost Love. I Across the marsh giowed in summer luxu-! Ac.rœa the m.a.rs'h glowed in summer lu:x::n., Ties the vivid greenery of trailing grape vines, of brighiUleaved birches, of glossy oa". They clung to tihe rocky ledges with the per. sistency of all green life that thrusts its roods in New England soil. Cottages of summer pers dotted the rough elevation gleaming among trees and grey rocks. The flat salt marsh lay always the same between the beach and the country road, stretching its acres of damp, green and slimy water, treacherous as the sea., anid not half so beautiful. Here on the beach, at high tide mark, walks a girL She is alone. The girl is probably 22 or 23. She is not dressed in the retarding long skirts, but in a short beach or moun- tain dress, whoeo blue folds reach, only a little below her knee, giving place to the fu.U trousers. A long, western eu-n was peering over everything the warm, yellow splendour that seems more entirely beautiful on the coast. It flooded in beauty the little low dark wooden house that stood on the sand between the beach and the marsh. and which was the home of Marion Logan. She turned from the beach where strolled the strangers, her lips taking on a. scornful smile as she saw approaching the insipid Everard, who for two months had paid nnr emitting court to the fisherman's daughter. Marion had no mind to have the delicious sunset spoiled by his prattle, and said, with a cold decision, I prefer to be alone to-night, Mr. Everard." He had nothing more to do but lift his hat and allow her to walk on. Is the world of wealth and cultivation like that?" Marion asked herself, as she walked slowly on along a path that curved by the edge of the marslh, the rank, coarse grass sweeping her feet with its rough edges. She had forgotten Everard and the gay company on the beach. Her eyes, wandering listlessly to the other side of the marsh, saw in an open space a man walking slowly with his gun over his arm, apparently watching for the flight of the little "peeps" of the salt marshes. Without knowing that she did so, she watched his movements, feeling an idle interest in the fate of the next bird that flew over. Then, as the f alling, fluttering bird proved the skill of the marksman, she was conscious of an involuntary feeling of resentment against him. "He looks as if he were a stranger here," she said to herself. "I hope he wont go on the marsh; he would never know the way." The fullest glory of the sunset was past, and Marion knew that it was time for her to go, but she could not. A whisper of some unusual desire made her stop. Could a glimpse of the future have been vouchsafed her then, would the girl have lingered, wait- ing for the bliss and pain that were coming to meet her? Suddenly, impelled by what seemed an in- ward cry of her soul she turned eagerly to look back at the man she- had been watch- ing. He had left the firm path and was coming across the marsh, and not, she saw directly, by the only place which was a safe crossing. However, she knew that it was dangerous in every plaoe but one. She ran down the slope, her face blanched with fear. I She waved her hand to the man and cried out: "Do not come. Go back. The patch is not safe." He stopped instantly and looked back, then forward. "Is it not well to keep on? I'm more than half across. I "I don't know," she replied in a. tone of painful doubt-1: don't know bow yesu came so for as that. It is almost impossible bo get across the marsh save by one path. Even as she spoke he felt the slow sinking of his feet beneath him. He took two or three steps with increasing difficulty. "I am beyond the firm ground," he a%A at Last. "I can only try and get to yQO." Marion stood for moment watching him her hands pressed together, ber beautiful face pale with anxiety, her Large eyes strained forward with a look that mi girt almost of itself have saved him. Then she raal up the beach, to an old hut which stood near a battered, deserted fisherman's house. One side of it was already half unboarded, and the boards flopped in the wind, held loosely by a few rutty nails. The girl, hardy and used to many kinds of haa-d. work, seized one of the boards and succeeded in wrench- ing it from its place. She ram with it down to thi marsh again. It was not long enough; she needed yet another, as she had feared she should. "Keep up one moment, she cried, "only one moment, ejid you are safe." Marion's swift motion told with the pre- cision of knowledge. She threw down the board, her actions tm- impeded by a long dree3, amd stepped lightly upon it with the other in her hand, placing that as a continuation of the path she had already made. Then she sprang back, while che stranger aWr one or two unsuccessful efforts succeeded in placing his feet on the board, and the next instant he was by Marion's side. Then for the first time she looked at him with eyes that consciously saw hia face. Jasper Wildair stood by her side, and had involuntarily clasped her hands in his own. He could have passionately offered up his looked at him with eyes that consciously had never seen her before. "You have saved my life," he said; "and life never was so dear to me as then. And I did not feel that this was the time for me, to die." I At last she said with simple sincerity. > I am very glad to have been able to help ) you. You will not venture on the marsh again? She had withdrawn her hands from his, and was standing a short distance from him. She looked up at him as she said the last, interrogatively. She met a glance which this time called a scarlet flush to her faoe. Wildair averted his gaze as he replied. No. I promise you. I could not hope that you would adways be near. Are you to stay here all the summer? Her voice was clear and apparently can. tented as she replied: Yes, I live here." She turned to go up the beach as she spoke, remembering the life she had for a time for- gotten. He hastened after her, saying: Allow me to walk along the beach with you. I cannot lose sight of you yet." She assented silently, a passing lbought of the difference between the man and Everard flitting through her mind. They came to her basket of wood and she stopped to lift it. He took it from her without a word, though he saw immediately and with a feeling of rebellion that it was driftwood she had picked along the shore. Was she, then, so poor as that? So accustomed was she to her poverty that she was never ashamed of it, though often angry with it. When she reached her own dingy chamber at home she wondered why it seemed so long since she went out for wood. It had really been but two or three hours, and yet life seemed to ha.ve opened for iteeif a new vista. It was the laet of September, and on this >Te*.v England shore the wind Mew chill across the bsoch. Tho idlers had gone, and Wildair and Marion stood alone by the water. The weeks that had just passed had done their ineradicable work for them. But until now nothing had been said of love, for Wildair had been hekl back by a bondage which before had baen simply indifferent to him-now it was hateful. Standing with Marion now, he most leave fber, every fetter fen from him, burst by the I passionate love he felt. His eyes devoured the pale face before him -they longed for a full look of love from I her. 1- He bent nearer, murmuring entreaiingly j "Marion, look at me?—oh, look at me!" That cry o! passion and pathos raised her ryes, and she met his glance witli one eort. '.and yet fall of the are of undying- love, "I must leave you," he said at last, "but I will come back to you. I swear to return. He spoke as if subduing some o, ostot cto .of LOOK WV AT-LUIA. with truBting eyes, feeling assured of his love. of his honour and truth. Ah, there was Paradise itself iu Marion's face for him, as he looked at it thus. Another swift half hour and Marion stood alone on the beach. The figure of her lover had disapp-ared in the dusk. Now, indeed, she knew what it was to be alone. Then with a smile of sad happiness, she thought that never again, as heretofore, could she be u.tterly alone, for did she not love, and was she not loved? She returi?ed to the old honæ. In her room. were scattered books and papers, for Wilda,ir had taught her much in the last few weeks, and had been lavish in supplying the hungry mind with literature. The daM slowly dragged into the winter. She waited, hearing from Jasper often. It was a grey, cold afternoon in December. She had hurried home from the office, there was no letter that night, only the paper to which her father was a. subscriber. Her mother, lying on the lounge, said querulously, as Marion entered: "Your father has been out in the boat, it wa-s so still this afternoon. He carried 0IQd¡ the telescope for some reason or other, and, of course, forgot it. It'll be lost, and we never shall have another. It took too muoh money for that." "He'll go out again tomorrow," replied Marion, sitting down by the stove and pub- ting her feet on the hearth. "No, he won't; he hardly ever goes in the winter. It's the meet ocwtly thing in the house, and now that's pane. whined 1ús. Logan. Marion smothered an exefcumation of impso- tience, and rose from her aea.t, saying: "I'H go after k. Did he leave the boat anchored?" Yes, though I charged him not to do it. There's a storm brewing. Hurry in before the wind blows up." Marion fastened her cloak amd hood tightly and went out. The sea. lay quiet for winter, but it roBed with a blue blackness thaA it never kzrew im summer. She pushed off the light boat that her faither let remain on the beach thus laite, for the fisherman was whaA Yankees caJl "shift- less." Marion effyoywd the bounding over the dark waves, the sharp, bracing air that had a pre- monition of storm in it. She soon reached the larger beat and stepped into it, twisting the boats together by the anchor rope of the smaller one. She sat down a, moment, liking the motion of the craft as it lay amchored there. As she sat she thought of the newspaper in her pocket, amd opened it, glajicing down the columns. How --any times does a simple niam-age notice carry despair to some who read it? Like the lines of doom she read it-the ammouncememt of the marriage of Jasper Wiildaoir. of Boston. Life and joy seemed searched from her for ever. With careful fingers she folded the paper. -"Â)]]d yet he loved me—does love me!" she murmured with white lips. A blind, dizzy weakness came over her—it appeared the farewell of hope and joy. Another deep, fast breath of wind blew over her. She faltered, her feet failed her, her head swa.m. She ddd not step truly, but down into the waiters that eddied and gurgled around her. The last thought to that poor, tried soul was: "He loves me! he loves me!" Oool, benumbed, she could not help herself in that icy flood, and besides, strength and hope had deserted hAr. A week later there hurried along the lone- some beach a. man in whose eyes shone the glory of a hope nearly fulfilled! All had been arranged. A distant cousin of the same name es him- self, and happily far more wealthy, had sup- planted him in the ambitious ideas of the lady cousin he had promised to wed, and his purpose of breaking the engagement had been all the more easy. He had hastened from tie wedding of the other Jasper to the old house which held all that was best for him. Words cannot tell what he felt as he stood again on the beach, now for ever without her. And yet a hope born of true love, a hope that was not of earth, shed some cheer in his heart. He looked ewen the waters that had given her the embrace of death. She knows my aoru-my unalterable 10tIer be said, feeling again the full light of her trusting eyes. And, safe from earth, did she not know his truth?

"Shocking Perjury." JUDGE & COUNTY COURT WITNESSES! During the hearing of a dispute for the sum of XZ 4B., at Whiteobapel County-court, ail the parties—plaintiff, defendant, and wit- nesæs-beinll Hebrews, there was » direct conflict of evidence as to the payment of the sum of E2 2s., alleged to have been paid too the plaintiff outside the Thames Police-oourt. Defendant swore to the payment of the money, and his witnesses—one a showily- dressed woman--corrioborated, but when sub- jeoted to some searching questions from Judge Bacon they contradicted each other in, essential details. Eventually his Honour remarked: Perjury j is perjury, but it is much worse when the! parties are co-religionists. It is shocking the amount of perjury I hear in this court, and in this case there is shocking and deliberate perjury on one side or the other. I often wender these people dc Dot go into their court of conciliation-go to a court where they may be coerced into telling the truth by their consciences—instead of coming bene laud committing perjury for twopence half- penny.. At this point the husband of the female witness sprang up excitedly. Judge Bacon (sternly): Hold your tongue! Listen to me, for I will not have what I bave stated ques-tioL-ed by anybody, and if you do it you will go to Wormwood Scrubbs until you have cleared your contempt. I have not the slightest doubt about the perjury.

Jabez Balfour's Future STRANGE PROPOSAL TO THE HOME OFFICE. The friends of Jabez Balfour have, it ia stated, petitioned the authorities to allow him to be discharged direct from the Park- hurst penal establishment, where he is at present confined. The prison officials, how- ever, have already advised that any monies, clothes, or other effects intended for the convict should be sent to Pentonville to await him there. It is. therefore, very unlikely that any excaption will be taken in his case to the rule which requires that all time- expired convicts committed in the Metro- politan, arM. should be brought to the Pentan- ville depot for discharge. Ja.bez Balfour will arrive at Pentonville Prison on Tuesday in the week of his daa- cliarge. The following morning be will be interviewed by the Scotland Yard authorities with reference to his future residence, ocon- pe.ti cn, A-c.. These part iculars a.re required for the ticket-of-leave, which ie of a. very long period. It is understood that the request of his friends was coupled with a. proposal that he fJi/yjld be permitted to leave the country. In the event of the Home Office assenting, Jabez Balfour will not come to London. He will embark at a southern port for Argentina, where he still holds interest in a flourishing trade cceueern. During the last two yeara the oonviot baa been aoting as librarian at Pa.rfcb.urst Prison. He is in robust health, and has long since regained any wedsrht be may have lost in the early months of his sentence.

LOCKED IN KITCHEN. j LOCKED I KITCHEN.I Ladies' Strange Story I Theheaoring of the action in which the Misses Ellen and Annie Jewell, of East- bourne, seek to recover damagss from Messrs. Oetzmaum and Co., furniture dealers, Hompstead-road, for alleged tres- pass and illegal seizure and detention of fur- niture bought under the hire system, was (as briefly reported last nigfctj resumed before Mr. i,istice Buckniil and a special jury in the King's Bench Division yesterday. Miss Ellen Jewell, who had been four days in the witness-box, was further croes- examiaed by Mr. H. F. Dickens, K.O., counsel for the defendants. She said she could not remember the terms of the settlement arrived at on August 5, 1904. All that she remembered was that she signed a paper which turned out to be her death-warrant. (Laughter.) Messrs. Oetzmsaim threatened that if they did uot sign the paper tney woukf clear away all the furniture in the middle of the season. There were then three instalments of L25 each due. Be-enamined by Mr. Aoland: A copy of the first agreement of March, 1398, was sent to ber afterwards, but not made at the time of signing. Did you know that the second agreement, of February, 1899, was different from the first?—No, or I would not have signed it.

Then what did he do?—He took them away. (Ls¡u,gbter.) I got nothing. Did Mr. Trading, the accovntarift, examine the agreement?—Yes, he said he could not moke anything of the accounts or agree- ment. You owed El,gal in August of 1904?—Yes. They demanded it in the middle of the sea- son. Their threats generally came in the middle of the season, and we got afraid of Messrs. Oetzmaxun. Did they take some of your mother's things?—Yes, my mother's box wati broken open, and her- Purse and Money Taken Away. I You pca-id 125, the only instalment due on September 23rd, 1904?—Yes, but I would not have done so had I known they were going to turn us out next day.

She said they had L400 when they went from Ilfracombe to Eastbourne. They were all in partnership in the business. Mr. Lush: Had you furniture of your own? —Yes, I had four rooms of furniture at No. 27, all things belonging exclusively to me. They were at the top of the house. Have you any left?—Nothing. They have got it aH. Have they paid you for it?—Not a penny. Had you yourself anything to do with Messrs. Oet*maan?—No. Did yen authorise your sister to sell your furniture to MæsrB. Oetzmamn?-"N o.

Merthyr Tolls Appeal. I CASE REMITTED FOR REHEARING. I In the King's Bench Division to-day the hearing of the Merthyr case of Griffiths v. Lloyd was resumed (before Justices Ridley and Darling, sitting as a Divisional Court). On their lordships taking their seats, Mr. Justice Ridley said the court had been look- ing into this matter eince the adjournment, and their lordships had come to the conclu- sion that the magistrate had not given a satisfactory reason for dismissing the infor- mation. The reason he gave was that there was no evidence of obstruction in the street, and the chief object of the Act under which the prosecution took place being to prevent obstruction, he dismissed the information, but the magistrate seemed altogether to have overlooked Section 8, which provided that there should be no sralo in the streets by auction, outcry, or otherwise, and there ought to be a finding whether or not there I had been in this oaee a sale by auction or I outcry. Mr. C. A. Russell said that if the finding of the magistrate was not satisfactory he bad no objection to the cose going back to the magistrate for rehearing. Justice Darling: The magistrate seems to have overlooked Section 8 altogether. Justice Ridley: The case will be remitted to the magistrate for rehearing under Sec- tion 8 of the.Act.

The Penarth lads were only able to field thirteen players, but they made a. very plucky show. Hole, a lad who ap- peared to possess the heart of a. lion, was easily the best boy on the ground. He scored a fine try and kicked a goal for Victoria. Horwood dropped a goal, and Reggie Wil- liams kicked a penalty goal for Oourt-road. The game was evenly contested, and the play was bright and clever. Final score: G. T. Pts. Oourt-road 2 0 7 Penorth 10 5 GRAJTOKTOWN V. ROATH PABK. Played at Jubilee Park. Both sides were well represented. In the first half there was no scoring. The Park boys g3.VC a surpri- singly good show.

DIVISION II. ST. JOHN'S v. MOUNT STUART-SQUARE. At the Sophia Gardens the Mount Stuart lads gave their poorest how of the season, whilst St. John's played far better than they have recently. The refereeing was just a little slack at times. Norman Groves dropped a goal, and Tovey, Chidjey, and Gilman scored tries for St. John's. St. John's fully deserved their' win, but were hardly thirteen points the better side. Final score. G. T. P'ts. St. John's 13 13 Mount Stuart-square 0 0 0 SOUTH CHURCH-STREET v. ST. MARY'S. 1 Those teams appeared at the Sophia Gardens clad in similar coloured jerseys. Mr. Davies, the referee, had an unenviable task. The comical sight was seen on a couple of occasions of boys tackling in mis- take players of their own side. Once two lads of South Church-street got their legs so twisted together that the referee had to pull them apart. The game ended in a pointless draw-.& fitting result considering the circumstances. Purvoe was the best of the South, and Keighley played a. sound game for St. Mary's. Pinal score. G. T. P'ts. South Churchnstreet 0 0 0 St. Mary's 0 0 0

HORNER;S PENNY STORIES. THE STORY OF SAMUEL. Chap. 6.-Little Samuel delighted to serve in the House of God. and one evening, while resting, he heard a voice calling "Samuel." He ran to Flli at oner., and h« told him to lie down again. This happened three times. Eli instructed foim to say the next time, Speak, ijord. for Thy servant heareth." This he did. and then the Lord revealed ta him the catastrorpftie that should overtake Eli. and his sons. ILLUSTRATED MAiL.

MYSTERIOUS POET. RECLUSE WHO BURNS HIS I VERSES. In the Surrey bills dwells and wanders a lonely middle-aged man, who for the last twenty years has secluded himself from everyone save two or throe intima;te friends. When the mood is upon him he will write poetry for days and days with scarcely a. break. At other times he will remain mute for weeks a.nd months. Once written, his MS. is toesed aside, amd in I spite of the wishes of his few friends he haa passively resisted the publication of his verses, saying that the public do not desire to read them. Then, when he comes across his MS. again, he glances at it with loathing. Rubbish," he exclaims, and throws it in the fire. In this way the originals of nearly all bis writings have been destroyed by the poet himself. Fortunately, a Criend of the poet has lately made a practioe of copying the poems when opportunity has arisen. In this way about 100 have been preserved.

THE PURE BEER BILLI UNFAVOURABLY RECEIVED BY THE TRADE. A Bill has been presented in the House of Commons by MT. Oourthope, with the support, of Colonel Kenyon-Slaney, Mr. Laurence Hardy, Mr. Bridgeman, and Mr. Robert Price, to amend the law relating to the sale of beer. T'he Bill defines" barley boJ" as beer in. the preparation of which not less than 85 per cent. of the saccharine-yielding materials employed £ hall be barley malt, without a.ny a,ddition other than hops, yeast, and water, and provides that if any brewer knowingly sells or offers for saJe as barley beer any beer not in aooorcLa-ruce with the definition given he shall be liable to a fine for the first offenoe of 1100, for the second £ 200, and for subsequent ofPenoee £ 500. Hiearcy penalties are also to be imposed on amy licensee who refuses to supply any cus- tomer with barley beer, and any retailer who knowingly sells, or offers for sale, any im- ported beer, unless under some name or mark wfhioh will clearly distinguish it as imported, is to be liable to I Fines from X25 to Xloo. I "I don't quite see the raison d'etre of tbsis Bil1," said Mr. Scott Wood, a director of Messrs. M. B. Foster and Sons, to a "Tribune" representative; it is a good dead like a gun fired in the air. The provision regarding the possible substitution of English for imported beer is too silly for discussion. Why on earth Efttould any dealer seek to palm off a dear artaole in place of a ohaaperP I am a Tariff Reformer, but this looks like Tariff Reform gone mOO. "The provision as to 85 per cent. of barley ma.lt would not affect Bass's a-le, whioh we bottle laa-gely, but many brewers of the cheaper tables atee—' Uie 2s. 6d. ales '-employ rioe, grains (i.e., maize), and sugar. These brewers would find much of their plant use- less under the Bill, and the 2s. 6d. ales could not be profitably produced." Messrs. Portman and Mason, who were aJso interviewed, said that they never had a demand for barley malt beer, and never heard of one, and the managers of the Criterion Restaurant made a similar statement.

Fingers Cut Off. I ACCIDENT AT PATENT FUEL WORKS. Frederick Bryant, of Parkfield-plaoe, Maindy, a labourer, employed at the Anchor Patent Fuel Works, Cardiff, had his hand oaught in some machinery to-day. He was conveyed to the infirmary, where it was found neoeaeary to amputate several of his fingers.

THE EMPIRES. I Cardiff. I Mr. T. E. DunviLLe, who appears at the Car- diff Empire next week, is always a sure "draw." Very quaint and amusing is Mr. Danville's burlesque of the war oorrcspon- denit with a lively imagination. He throws in, too, a funny little dieoonree on marriage. His "latest wonderful fairy tales" will be found to equal any of the quaint quips for whioh thas comedian is famous. On the same bill are the Sa.rnithaler Troupe of vocalists and dancers. They carry their own scenery, whioh is painted from Nature by Bozen, and represents the Oastle Ried in the Talfer in Sarathal, South Tyrol, Austriam Alps. The voioes-six female and two male- are admirably blended, and show to great advantage in their national songs. Othefr members of the oompauy are Arthur Gill, the many-voiced yokel"; Marie Weston, a dainty singer, dancer, and bam.jo- ist; Abel and Welsh, eccentrics; the Haydas Troupe in aocrobet-ic comedy, and Ian Colqu- houm, the baritone. A fine show of living pictures wiU be given on the bioscope. I Newport. I The Sleedes in their act, "Where's the Ghost?" top the bill at Newport Empire next week. The Kellinos will also make their appearance. Upon the 8ta.ge they are backed up by a scene of Venice, with its array of domes amd oaimpwndtes- They provide some mandoline music, wnd then a. gondola arrives bringing a, lady member of the troupe, a vision of beauty and musole. This is the signal for a little dancing party, in which moat of the company join. Later the per- forniem go through perilous feats, and in conclusion do a good deal of "riseley" per- forming. Other entertainers are the charming Cape Girls, the Eedale Brothers, comedians and speciality artistes; Howe and Axdie, oome- (Mans in "Fun in a Balloon"; Payne's amus- ing Vagabonds; May Geraldine, a chic oome- dienme; and Kyoto amd his wonderful Japanese box.

I THE LYCEUM, NEWPORT, I There is a. deep interest in the visit next week of Mr. Beerbohm Tree's company to the Newport Lyceum in Mr. Comyn Carr's adapta-tion of Charles Dickens's novel, "Oliver Twist." There has been a theory- whether baaed on reliable authority it would be difficult to say-that all students of Dickens begin with Oliver Twist." It is certain that the little fellow who raised such consternation by calliug for "more" is one of the darlings of Dickensoniam readers. Though the characters are retained, the plot has of necessity been somewhat varied from the original story. Miss Gertrnde Lang plays the title role, Mr. William Mackintosh that of Fagin," Mias Hutin Britton is the oweet and wonderful Nancy," whilst that ever to be remembered and dreaded character "Bill Sikes" is represented by Mr. Cecil A. Collins.

I BASEBALL. I GRANGETOWN.
