STORY FOR TO-DAY, - - ——)
STORY FOR TO-DAY, —— ) Proconsul Carrier. I Count Clairville has just given in marriage I his only daught-er Yolande to the Marquess of Kergouet of an old and proud Breton family. Tho ceremony was over, a n 1 the church doors were flung open, displaying the high altar decora-ted with flowers aid lights, and in the garlanded doorway appeared ,he young pair, while the bells pealed joyously. All nature seemed to be in festal attire, for the sweet odours of spring filled the aij, the wild birds were singing merrily, and ,mnbeams fell like a. halo across the foreheads of the bride and groom. She was fair and graceful, and in her white veil and gown seemed like an angel strayed from heaven; .he bride- groom, noble and gallant, looked with love unutterable at the fair girl who leaned npon his arm. The country people were dressed in their Sunday clothes, the men wearing rosettes in their buttonholes, the women with lilies-of- the-Tall'ey in tir bodices, and all waved flowering hawthorn branches, and made the air ring with acclamation. "Long live Mademoiselle Yolaide: Long live the bride. God bless our svs«set young lady." they cried, and from tin.e to time they added, "Long live thee marquess." The church of Clairville overlooked the village, being built on rocky eminence, a.nd was approached by a steep winding path and stairway; rich and poor, noble and simple, dead and living, all must enter the church by way cf Paradise-road. The wed- ding party glittering in gold and silver and velvet, and followed by the cheering crowd, walked down this rustic pathway to where the carriages were waiting, and the bride- groom, pleased by the enthusiasm of the people and their evident affection for his bride, said to her tenderly— "You see, my love, how dear you are to these people. They will never forget you. I fear they owe me a grudge for stealing their good angel from them." The bride smiled and raised her sweet eyes to his face for a moment, and then she turned to her father, saying: "It is such a beautiful day, papa; may we not walk home?" Certainly, dear, if you wish it," he replied, glad of the opportunity of pleaeing his child, from whom he must soon be parted; and accordingly the bridal pair and all the young persons of the party walked through the village to the chateau of Clair- ville, which was situated at the other end, while the dowagers and other persons fol- lowed in their carriages. Yolande, leaning on her husband's arm, stopped repeatedly at the humble cottages where the poor old men and women, whom age and infirmity rendered unable to go out, were waiting in the doorways to see the bride pass. For each one she had a. word or smile, and many a trembling hand and weak, thin voice was raised to bless her. The joyous procession now reached a. turn in the narrow road and came to a standstill, being met by a funeral party. It was a very poor affair; there was no coronet emblar zoned on the white pall which covered the corpse of a young maiden, and not a flower was seen there, not a single blossom, in spite of the warm spring-time. Behind the bier a poorly-clad man, the only mourner, walked slowly, his face covered by his hands, a -picture of despairing grief. At sight of the Clairville wedding party, the men carrying the bier stopped, and would have turned out of the' road, but the mourner raised hie head and gazed fiercely at the happy throng, who, with their rich gain clothing and smiling faces, seemed to offer insult to sorrow. "Go he said in a hoarse voice to the porters, if he would have liked to crush the fine lord3" and ladies beneath his feet, but the men did not stir. Then the Count stepped forward, saying gravely: "Respect the dead, friends. Fsvll back and let the bier pass" lie was instanfly obeyed, and the funeral moved on past the gorgeously-attired throng, who made way reverently, the ladies crossing themselves and the lords removing their hats. As.. the bier passed the bride she was filled with pity at the sight of the young, still form under the white pall, and, taking a. sprig of orange blossoms out of her bouquet, rho laid it gently upon the bier. The stern mourner saw the act, and bis expression softened a little; then, covering his face again, be broke into low sobs. "Who is that man?" asked Count Clair- ville. I don't know, my lord," replied the man addressed. "He is a stranger. He came to the inn a few days ago with his sister. She wag almost dead, aa anyone could 8ee. He eeemed to love her very much, and when she died he cursed like a heretic and shook his fist at heaven. This morning /1 told him it was too early to have the funeral and that he ought to give the cure time to change his stole after the wedding, but he would not listen to Inoe." The bridal party moved on, and soon the merry peals of the church bePs were changed to a mournful tolling, as the bier passed under the gay floral declarations of the door. "Who is that young lady?" asked the mourner of a bystander. "The bride? That is Mademoiselle Yolande de Clairville," was the reply, and the stranger murmured softly: "May she always be happy." Then he went into the church. Twenty years passed and the Reign of Terror began. In La Vendee the war was at its height, when the convention sent one of its members to Nantes with instructions to take swift and violent measures against the Royalists. Accordingly this man, Carrier h:7 name, caused a large number of "suspects" to be confined in the Entrepot, a building near the Cathedral of St. Pierre. Men, women, and children were hustled pell-mell into this ante- chamber of the River Loire, and in spite of the daily drownings, th? prison was over throngad with victims. In a large, low hall the terrible pro-consnl presided at the mock trials. The prisoners were divided into two parties, the accused and the condemned: the former group diminished rapidly as the latter increased, and at last Carrier resolved hurry the proceeding by dispensing with all formality in disposing of the victims. Then the fatal words, "Condemned to d3ath!" were heard repeatedly, as the Boyalists were hurried across the hall. "Henri de Kergouet," called the clerk, and a young man about eighteen years of age left bis companions and advanced towards the tribunal. He bowed to the judge with ..16 much, ease and grace as if he were at the Court of Versailles, and seemed to fee uncon- scious of the fact that a cruel deat3 awaited him. You are. accused of conspiring against the Republic in the person of its representa- tive," said Carrier; "you took part in a plot against my life." The youth turned a frank, fearless pair of eyes toward the speaker and answered slowly. I owe my father's death to you. I always pay my debts." Henri," cried a woman's voice, entreat- ingly. Carrier cast a furious glance round him, and then Henri de Kergouet was hurried away. Two women now stood before the judge, who asked of the other one— "Are you the mother of that young man?" I am," she answered. and this girl is his sisttr." "Your name?" I YO land de Clairville, Marquise de Kergouet. The Judge looked fixedly at the speaker for a minute, then declared the investigation at an end, and added briefly: "Condemned to death, all three." The doomed were now led back to their dungeons, and at nine o'clock at nigiht the I executions began. Tied together, two by two, the unfortunates were thrown into the boa.tg, taken out on the river, and despatched with sword or bayonet, and their bodies cast insto the water. This method, however, soon proved too slow to satisfy Carrier, and he caused hundreds of his victims to be driven out to a neighbouring quarry and shot. The Marquise de Kergouet and her two children were av aitlng their doom in silence, when the gaoler entered their cell and ordered the daughter to follow him. "Why must we be separated?" cried the m other. Citizen Carrier's orders, madam," replied the man. "Be quick." f After a long and tearful embrace the young girl left her mother and brother and followed the gaoler into the presence of the. dreadful proconsul who looked at her earnestly, and when they were left alone asked slowly: < "What is your name?" 1 Yvonne de Kergouet." Do you love your mother?" Ah, yes, monsieur," replied the girl, trembling with terror. And your brother, what would you do to save his life?" I would gladly give my own life," cried Yvonne eagerly. I do not want your life, child, but your silence. How old are j £ ou?" Sixteen years, monsieur. j "Then you have not yet learned to lie. Listen to me. Rer-e is a letter which I con- fide to you on eoncDition of your promising me that it shall not be opened until mid- night. Moreover, you are not to speak of tt to anyone. Have I your promise. Very well: g'(}!" The frightened, girl took the letter, put it into her bosom, and was taken back to the ceil, but before she had time to reply to the anxioue questioning with which her mother and brother greeted her, a man appeared, carrying t pistol, signed to them all to follow him, and led them out of the prison. Then .imp0<3ÜJg the strictest silence upon them, he gave his arm to Yvonne, while Henri de Kergouet supported Ms mother's trembling form. In a few minutes the little party reached the river bank, after hurrying through the dark streets of the city, and the Royalists realised at a glance that they were not far from the spot where the executions 1 of that day had taken place. Their guide gave a si, and a, man in a boat instantly made his appearance from out of the gloom. Get in," said the boatman, in a low tone, and as soon as they were seated he rowed out into the middle of the stream. Be brave, little sister," whispered Henri, clasping Yvolllle to his heart, and then they all waited calmly for their last hour to come. In a few brief moments they seemed to live their whole lives over, to feel again the joys and sorrows of their early child- hood, as well as their recent trials and alarms. Suddenly they saw in the distance the out- line of a ship dimly defined against the dark sky; they approached it rapidly, and before they recovered from their amazement, found themselves on board, while their late con- ductor rowed back to the shore. Vrbat does this mean?" asked lIenri, after an astonished pause. "That you are saved," repKed the captain of the ship. "Saved I How? By whom?" That is more than I can tell you, madame. All that I know of the matter is that a few hours ago I received a large sum of money and an order to wait for three passengers who wished to go to England. The order was accompanied by a safe-con- duct signed by the Pro-consul Carrier. In a few days we shall, with a good wind, be in sight of the English coast." The little family, hardly able to believe their ears, looked at each other in wondering delight, and Madame de Kergouet mur- mured with a prayer of thanksgiving: "Who ca,n be our unknown friend?" Then Yvonne suddenly asked the captain what the hour was. It is just half-past twelve, Mademoiselle," he answered, and the girl hastily drew out the letter she had received, tore it open, and read the first line To Mademoiselle Yolande de Clairville." "It is for you, mamma," she said, giving it to her mother, but the marquise signed to her son to read it aloud. It ran as follows: Twenty years ago, on your wedding day, you la-id a flower from vour bridal bouquet on my sister's coffin. She was- just sixteen years old. I wish to pay my debt, and in return for your flower I give you three lives. CARRIER.
! DON;T NEGLECT AN INJURY!
DON;T NEGLECT AN INJURY! FESTERING AND DISEASE LURK IN TINY CUTS—KEEP ZAM-BUK HANDY! Accidents will happen, and the necessity of keeping a reliable first-aid such as Zam- Buk handy, at home and at work, cannot be too strongly insisted upon. Simple injuries are liable to fester and breed disease germs if not properly cared for. Many cases of chronic- eczema or ulceration are traceable to negletted cuts. or amall abrasions, and blood poisoning, which endangers OOtH life and litnb, very frequently develops from the most trivial scratch. Neither housewife, mother, nor bread- winner can afforu to risk these complica- tions; and, besides, it is often both desirable and essential that a wound should be robbed of its smarting pain and healed up quickly. Zam-Buk is not only a soothing and rapid healer, but a powerful antiseptic which purifies, prevents poining," kills microbes, and resists all tendency to putrefaction. Zaui-Buk is a pure healing balm made from rich medicinal herbs, the saps and juices of which are cleverly combined and concentrated, and wonderfully refined. Many modern preparations contain quantities of animal fat and mineral poisons, and are not only coarse, irritating, and unreliable, but tend to create the very complications which should be guarded against. The Zam-Buk way is both differemt and superior. Thus natural healing balui takes out the eaiart and soothes the pain, reduces inflammation, and induces a clean and rapid healing right, away. If poisoning cr disease has already de- veloped, Zam-Buk is oven more valuable. C,i,reful applications over the affected areo, of tissue prove cooling, eoothing, a.nd clens- ing. Irritation oeaees, burning sores ceajsc to torture, impure matter and all elements of disease are expelled, and finally Zam-Buk bgjps Nature to build up new tissue to re- place that whi-oli has been damaged, diseased, cr destroyed. New celæ, appeair almost visibly, and finally Zam-Buk coYer. the once raw or broken surface with new, clear, healthy skin, often leaving not the faintest scar. Mr. Joshua Barker, of Victoria Cottage, Rendham, Saxzmrrtdham, Suffolk, says: I knocked a piece of tkin off my shin, and the result was that I had a very bad leg for three .months. I tried everything. I could think of. but with no good effect. My leg gm, all Mack and covered with scabs and sores, and I could gat no re?h day or night owing to the itching and pain. People who saw it said I should have to have it token off. At last I got some Zam-Buk, and 't soon made an improvement. In a week's time I had lost all pain, and after perse- vering with Zam-Buk a little longer the leg became quite well. The florps all healed up .perfectly, the scabs disappeared, the old skin came away, and I have now a new ekin on it."

CONSTIPATION. # The most successful remedy in obstinate and habitual cases is VENO'S SEAWEED TO IC. It is vastly superior to pills of any kind. It is now conceded that the proper way to take medicine is in liquid form, because it cannot become properly assimilated or carried to the diseased parts in any other way. The foolish and indiscriminate use of pills, especially in cases of constipation, is irought, w ilii many evil results. They only purge the bowels they happen to dissolve in, and their drastic and irritating action gradually weakens the bowels to such an extent that perastalsis is partially destroyed, and in a very short time the patient finds he is more constipated than ever. Pills in any form have always an irritating effect, not only upon the bowels, but upon the stomach, whereas a, liquid medicine such as YENO'S SEAtWEED TONIC always produces the very best results. It is a medicine that can be given to children or the weakest person. The fact that it is used in hospitals and by doctors themselves is strong evidence in its favour It is prepared to act specifically upon the Stomach, Liver. Kidneys, and Blood, thus curing all ailments arising from a diseased condition of these organs.' It is the natural cure for constipation; try it at once, and see for yourself. It clears the system of all impurities, steadies the action of the heart, strengthens the nerves, dispels wind from the stomach, arouses a sluggish liver, invigorates the entire system, and strengthens the back and kidneys.

WEDDED AT CARDIFFI
WEDDED AT CARDIFF I Divorce Court Sequel. I HOW CO-RESPONDENT PRO- MARRIAGE. In the Divorce Court on Monday Mr. Jus- tice Bargrave Deane had before him the un- defended petition of Mr. Charles James Cowper, an actor who sought a divorce by reason of the misconduct of his wife, Mary, an actress, with the co-respondent, Mr. Arthur Franklim Higgs, an engineer. Counsel for the petitioner stated that the marriage took place in le95 at the District Registry, Cardiff, and there was one child. Husband and wife lived for some time a.t Cardiff. After they went touring toge.ther with different companies. When they were in South Africa there was a quarrel between them, and she left him in a few weeks, and them returned to him. In 1902 he was playing in the piece called Florodora," and she was performing in the "White Heather" at another place. She wrote to him that she was going to America. It appeared that she had formed an attachment to the co-respondent, and went to Canada' with him. Mr. Higgs wanted to marry her j out there, but ascertained that it would be: invalid. After a time the wife wrote to her husband, begging forgiveness, and stating that ehe could not 'live without him. She asked him to take her back, stating that she felt lonely out in America.' He wrote declining to take her back In another letter she wrote that as he would not take her back she intended to trust her future to the care of the co-respondent. The petitioner filed his suit for a divorce, and after a time the co-respondent expressed his willingness to come to this country and give evidence, and Mr. Higgs was now in court. After the petitioner was called his lordship pointed out that there was a claim for damages against the co-respondent, which, it appeared, had hot been withdrawn. Counsel for the petitioner said he was informed that a summons had been taken out to strike out the claim for damages. The petitioner was then examined, aild gave evidence as to the Cardiff marriage in 1895, after which he bore out the opening statement of counsel. The co-respondent was also called. He said he was prepared to give evidence. In the early part of 1900 he made the acquaintance of the respondent at Folke- stone, after which they travelled to London together. The following autumn he saw her at Shrewsbury. He proposed marriage to her, at which time he did not know that she was married. She went to America, and ultimately he joined her at Chicago, and in New York he lived with her there. In March, 1904, he was served with the divorce papers. At that time he thought that the divorce suit was over. As to the claim for damages being withdrawn, there was no arrangement whatever with petitioner in this respect. Ultimately his Lordship said that the case ought never to have been put in the un- defended list. He could not then deal with the question as to the withdrawal of the claim for damages. The case must stand over.
------The Claims of Labour
The Claims of Labour I FORMATION OF PARTY IN MID- GLAMORGAN II An adjourned conference representing the miners' lodges, Independent Labour branches, and Trades Union organisations in Mid- Glamorgan -met on Monday at the vestry of the Welsh Baptist Chapel, Aberavon, to settle the constitution of the Mid-Glamorgan Labour organisation. There were 34 delegates I present, representing 10,746 members, and Mr. Vernon Hartshorn, Maesteg, presided. It was resolved that the new organisation should be known as the Labour Party, and not as the Labour Three Hundred, as origin- ally suggested. The body will be composed of representatives of all the members of Labour organisations, Independent Labour 1\ branches, and co-operative societies in the constituency, and selected on the basis of one for every fifty or fraciiou thereof. A long discussion took place as to the con- stitution of the central executive, and it was finally resolved that upon it the five miners' districts should have three representatives each, the members of Labour councils three each, and the Independent Labour branches and co-operative societies one each. On the proposition that a permanent org-aniser should be appointed much discus- sion took place. All the delegates seemed to be in favour of the appointment, but some of the miners' representatives urged that the expense should be borne to a large extent by the Parliamentary fund, contending that it was net fair that a mining constituency like Mid-Glamorgan should be treated differently from South Glamorgan. Mr. W. E. Morgan (miners' a.g:8111t for the Western District) said that a su b-oommittee had been appointed to consider the claims of the various districts to assistance from the Parliamentary fund for organisation purposes, and Mr. Hartshorn was one of the members of the committee. It was decided that a permanent organiser should be appointed, but that before hi final selection the matter should be referred to the conference again. It was agreed that the expenses of the organisation be met by the payment of 2d. per member per annum. It wad resolved that the officials of the party consist of a chairman, vice-chairman, and secretary, the last-named to be remov- able only at the wish of two-thirds of the executive. Sir. Edward Edwards (Ogmore Vale) asked whether it was intended to contest the seat at the bye-election that would result sup- posing Mr. S. T. Evans were made Attorney- General. A Delegate replied that it was decided at the last meeting that if this party decided to contest the seat, it would be contested no matter who was in the field. It was resolved that the next conference be held at Aberavon on Thursday, May 24, at 10.30 a.m.
I THREE, YEAIvS FOR A BIGAMIST.
I THREE, YEAIvS FOR A BIGAMIST. At the Old Bailey on Monday Frank Greener, 40, manager to a hop merchant, was sen- tenced to three years' pemal servitude for bigamy. Prisoner was separated from his first wife, and during a holiday at Brighton met a, young lady engaged in business in the city, and after a courtship of two years 'lip of two yeirs married her. Subsequently, the second wife discovered that Greener had a. first wife living, and she gave him into custody. Counsel stated that one of the peculiar features in the case was that none of the prisoner's relations or friends ever gave the second wife any warning that he was mar- ried. A detective officer said that he had since found that Greener was courting a third woman, a widow, residing at Loughborough, at the time of his arrest. hi ii"

The best four cards returned by any player conn t. In this competition the other day W. 8. Sweet-Eseatt put in a fine card of 79, minus 7-72, and his handicap has, conse- quently, been reduced to 5. In a friendly match Alex. Duncan made a good gro&s score of 82, and 70 net, and his handicap has, therefore, come down to 9. Seeing that he does not play with wooden clubs, it was an exceptionally good score. John Duncan, jun., and George Renwick, jun.. have each been round the course lately in 74. The latter score was made on Thurs- day in the Carey Thomas Clip qualifying round, and R-enwick's handicap has been brought down from plus 1 to plus 2. He thus I joins Duucan a.nd Captain Wiikins as the (lowest handicap men in the club. Robert Redford, under the weather con- ditions, made a good score in the monthly bogey on Saturday He came in all square, and took the first prize. Accordingly, his handicap has been reduced from 14 to 12. Entries for the No. 2 Tournament close on May 12. The fee is a' shilling, as usual. AN IMPROVING BARRY PLAYER. The Barry Committee has not yet dealt with G. S. N Oarne's handicap after hie win- ning round on Saturday morning at the spring meeting, but he is certain to be brought a little lower His handicap is coming down quickly, as it is only a few days since it was reduced to 7 and 5, and at this rate he will eoon be on a par with his elder brother at scratch. The meeting as a. whole haa been sufficiently described, but after such a day the club certainly deserves better weather for its autumn meeting. Next Saturday the monthly bogey will be played at Barry, and probably the semi-finals in the club championship, which rest between the brothers Carne. W. Price Jones (the cap- tain), and A. Jenkins. THE PORTHCAWL CHAMPIONSHIP. There was nothing doing at Porthcawl last week until Saturday, when the monthly bogey came off, and H. L. Blosse was the winner, with a card of 2 down. Next Friday and Saturday the club championship will be I played, and all the test players, including George Renwick, jun., Hal Ludlow. J. S. Dyas, and 0. P. Traherne, are expected to compete. The recent rains have done the links a lot of good, and the course is now playing very well.. I GOSSIP FROM RADYR. There was a good entry for the monthly bogey at Radyr on Saturday, although about a dozen men. including some of the best players, were down on the Leys for tho players. Mting. Dr. Jenkins returned the best card-all square—and a good one under the conditions, but he was disqualified for sheltering during a heavy storm about five o'clock. The prize, therefore, went to A. H. Symonds, who had a useful score of 2 down, while J. H. Morgan ran him close with 3 down. A big entry is expected for the spring meet- ing on Friday and Saturday, as: seeing that the Welsh Golf Championships are to be played over this course in August, the best local players are likely to take another opportunity of playing over it. The time of entry has been extended until noon on Wednesday. Post entries will be received until noon on Thursday, as stated on the programme. On Friday there will be a medal competition in the morning, with a Calcutta competition in the afternoon; and on Saturday a medal in the morning, and bogey foursomes in the afternoon. The course has never played better than it has this week-end. Such scores as all square and 2 down against bogey on Saturday could not ihave been made in such fearful weather over difficult ground. The annual meeting of the liadyr Club went off satisfactorily. There was some criti- cism of the accounts of the house committee., but the committee showed fairly conclusively that there could be no eutetantial reduction of the expenditure. The contention, however, that the percentage of profit on the receipts Sihould be greater was scarcely given a. reply. The question of locker rents, on which was raised the matter of boot-cleaning, was referred to the committee, but the demand for boot-cleaning to the extent which one or two members asked is not supported by the majority of the members. With the exception of a few, they all think that to ask the steward to clean boots every time they are need, even twice a wesk, is unnecessary and unreasonable. That it is not required by members was- shown about eighteen months ago when it was proposed that a boy should I be engaged for boat-cleaning only, and that members in return for the luxury of clean boots whenever they wanted them should pay 2s 6d. per annum. However, only two names were written on the sheet that was pinned on the notice-board. The dissatisfaction which has been expressed by several of the lady members who have not received notices of forthcoming meetings will now, it is hoped, be removed. In order to ensure that notices shall be delivered to everyone who is entitled to receive them, it is now an instruction that they shall be issued by the secretary. SWANSEA BAY LADIES' MEETING. The sixth annual ladies' meeting of the Swansea Ba.y Club takes place to-day (Tues- da.y) and to-morrow (Wednesday). On the first day the programme includes op'en medal singles, open medal singles for handicaps of 26 MKi over, foursomes (nine holes bogey), and an approaching oi,,n,d outthig competition. To-morrow there will be bogey singles and open mixed bogey foursomes. THE NEWPORT CLITIR. i There was on enormous entry on Satur- day for the monthly medal competition, and some excellent play was seen. The gross score of 84 by R. R. Fan's, who won the medal, was extremely good, in view of the storm which occasionally swept over the course. The greens have very much ,iml)roved since rain began to fall last week. The second club tournament begins to-day (May 1), and will be carried on for three months on the American system. Every- body will play everyhody else who has entered, and the meinbor who wins the largest number of matches wins the tourna- ment. Entries closed last Saturday, when it, was found that 26 members had gone into the tournament. Next Saturday Newport plays Brecon at Brecon. PROGRESS AT SOtJTHERNDOWN. I The contract, was signed on Monday for the building the navilion on the Southerndown course. The price is £ 2,275. The builder is Mr. John Williams, Cardiff, and he has agreed to mmpl?,te the building by the end of August. The course is looking very well af?r the Mc?t? rain, and if th"r is a fair amount of wet will be ready for play by the 1st of July. 0 BRECON CLUB. I The recent rain has somewhat, freshened the I grass ow. the greens, but a good deal more is requlre1. The Tredegar Bowl competitions are near- 1 inar the finish. In Ul J men's competition G. Dobell has beaten W. J. Thomas in the one semi-final, but the other, between Professor Lewis and R. S. Gwyn, has not yet been played off. In the ladies' competition the two ladies left i4 for the final struggle are Mrs. Grinson and Miss R. Heins. PORTHCAWL LADIES V. RADYR LADIES.

Allen Raine's latest Story, entitled "The Queen of the Rushes," starts in this number, and the opening chapters are full of interest. The fact, however, that will appeal most strongly to people in Wales is that. Evan Roberts is One of the Heroes. The Story is largely a romance of the revival, written by the most powerful writer in Wales. The picture below illustrates an incident in one of the early chapters.
