[ALL RIQHTS RESERVED.] 1 CHAPTER Vil.-Continued. I The Banner of Safadin. I T. ake horse swiftly, he gasped, pausing How and again to reet, "and rouse the countryside. There is stall a chance. Nay, seven hours have gone by; there is no chance. Their plans were too well laid; by now they ,will be at sea. So hear me. Go to Palestine. There is money for your faring in my chest; but go alone, with, no company, for in time of peace these would betray you. Godwin, draw off this ring from my finger, and with it as a. token, find out Jebal, the black sheikh, of the Mountain Tribe at Masyaf on Lebanon, and bid him remember the vow made to land.re,w D'Arcy, the English knight. If any earn, aid you, it will be Jebal, who hates the Houses of Nur-ed-din and of Ayoub. So, I charge you, let nothing-I say nothing-turn you aside from seeking him. Afterwards act as God shall guide you. If he still lives, kill that traitor Nicholas and Hugh Lozelle, but, save in open war, spare the Emir Hassan, who did but do his duty as an Eastern reads it, and. showed some mercy, for he could have slain or burnt us all. This riddle has been hard for me; yet now, in my dying hour, I eeem to see its answer. I think that Saladin did not dream in. vain. Keep brave hearts, for I think also that at Masyaf you will find friends, and that things will yet go well, and our sorrows bear good fruit. "What is that you said? She left you my father's sword, Wulf? Then wield it bravely, winning honour for OUT name. She left you the cross, Godwin? "Wear it worthily, win- ning glory for the Lord and salvation to your soul. Remember what you have sworn. Whate'er befall, bear no bitterness to one another, and be true to one another, and to her, your lady, so that when at the last you make your report to me before high Heaven, I may have no cause to be ashamed of you, my nephews, Godwin and Wulf." For a moment he was silent, until his face lit up as with a great gladness, and he cried in a loud, clear voice, Beloved wife, I hear you! Oh, God. I come!" Then, though his eyes stayed open, and the smile still rested on his face, his jaw fell. Thus died Sir Andrew D'Arcy. Still kneeling on either side of him the 'brethren watched the end, and, as his spirit passed, bowed their heads in prayer. We have seen a great death," said God- win pre-,ently. "let us learn a lesson from it, that when our time comes we may die like him." Aye." answered Wulf, springing to his feet; "bat first let us take vengeance for it. Why, what is this? Rosamund's writing! :Read it, Godwin." Godwin took the parchment and read: Follow me to Saladin. In that hope I live on. Surely we will follow you, Rosamund," be cried aloud. Follow you through life to death or victory." Then he threw down the paper, and calling for the chaplain to come to watch the body, they ran into the hall. By this time about half of the folk were awake from their drugged sleep, whilst others who had been doctored by the man Ali in the barn came staggering into the hall—wild-eyed, white- faced, and holding their hands to their heads and hearts. They were so sick and bewil- dered, indeed, that it was difficult to make them understand what had chanced, and when they learned the truth, the most of them could only groan. Still, a few were found strong enough in wit and body to grope their way through the darkness and the filling snow to Stangate Abbey, to Southmineter, and to I the houses of their neighbours, although of these there were none near, praying: that every true man would arm and ride to help them in the hunt. Also Wulf, cursing the priest Matthew and himself that he had not thought of it before, called him from his prayers by their dead uncle, and charged: "him to climb the church tower as swiftly as he could, and set light to the beacon that was laid ready there. Away he went, taking flint, steely and tinder with him, and ten minutes later the blaze was flaring furiously above the roof of Steeple Church, warning all men of the need, for help. Then they armed, saddled such horses as they had, amongst them the three that had been left there by the mer- chant Georgios, and gathered, all of them who were not too sick to ride or run, in the courtyard of the Hall. But as yet their haste availed them little, for the moon was down. Snow fell also, and the night was still black as death-so black that a man could scarcely see the hand he held before his face. So they must wait, and wait they did, eating their hearts out with grief and rage, and bathing their aching brows in snow and ice-cold water. At length the dawn began to break, and by its first grey light they saw men mounted and afoot feeling their way through the snow. shouting to each other as they came to know what dreadful thing had happened at Steeple. Quickly the tidings spread among them that Sir Andrew was slain, and the ]..ady Rosamund snatched away by Paynims, while all who feasted in the place had been drugged with poisoned wine by a man whom they believed to be a merchant. So soon as a band was got together—perhaps thirty men in all—and there was light to stir by, they set out and began to search, though where to look they knew not, for the snow had covered up all traces of their foes. One thing is certain, said Godwin, "they must have come by water." Aye," answered Wulf; "and landed hard by, sinoe, had they far to go, they would have taken the horses, and must run the risk also of losing their path in the darkness. To the Staithe! Let us try Steeple Staithe." So on they went across the meadow to the creek. It lay but three bow-shots distant. At first they could see nothing, for the snow covered the stones of the little pier, but pre- sently a man eried. out that the lock of the water-house, in which the brethren kept their fishing-boat, was broken, and next minute, that the boat was gone. "She was small; she would hold but six men," cried a voice. So great a company could never have crowded into her." Fool! one answered. "There may have been other boats." So they looked again, and beneath the thin coating of rime found a mark in the mud by the Staithe, made by the prow of a large boat, and not far from it the hole in the earth into which a peg had been driven to make har fast. Xow the thing seemed clear, enough, but it was to be made yet clearer, for presently, even through the driving snow, the quick eye of Wulf caught sight of some glittering thing which hung to the edge of a clump of dead reeds. A man with a lance lifted it out at his command, and gave it to him. I thought so," he said in a heavy voice; it ;6 a fragment of that star-wrought veil that was my Christmas gift to Rosamund, and she has torn it off and left it here to show us her road. To St. Peter's-on-the-Wall! To St Peter's, I say, for there the boats or ship must pass, and maybe that in the darkness they have not yet won out to sea." So they turned their horses' heads, and those of them that were mounted rode for St. Peter's by the inland path that runs through Steeple St. Lawrence and Bradwell town, while those who were not, started to search along the Saltings and the river bank. On they galloped through the falling snow, Godwin and Wulf leading the way on their great horses, whilst behind them thundered, an ever-gathering train of knights, squires, and yeoman, who bad seen the beacon flare on Steeple tower, or learned the tale from messengers—yes, and even of monks from Stanate and chapmen from Sout-hminster. Hard they rode, but the lanes were heavy with fallen snow and mud beneath, and the way was far, Id that an hour had gone by before Bradw was left behind, and the shrine of St. Chad lay but half-a-mile in front. Now of a sudden the fnow ceased, and a strong northerly wind springing up, drove the thick mist before it, and left the sky bright and blue behind. Still riding in this mist, they pressed on to where the old tower loomed, in front of them, then drew rein and waited. What is that? said Godwin presently, pointing to a great, dim thing upon the vapour-hidden eea. As he spoke, a strong gust of wind tore away the last veils of mist, revealing the red face of the risen sun, and not a hundred yards away from them—for the tide was high-the ta.11 masts of a great galley creep- ing out to sea beneath her bonks of oars. As they stared the wind caught her, and on the main-mast rose her bellying sail, while a shout of laughter told them that they themselves were seen. They shook their swords in the madness of their ra-ge, knowing wall who was aboard that galley; while to the forepeak ran up the yellow flag of Saladin, streaming there like gold in the golden sunlight. Nor was this all. for on the high poop appea-red the tall shape of Rosamund her- aelf, and on one side of her, clad now in coat of mail and turban, the Emir Hassan, whom they had known as the merchant Georgios, and on the other a. stout man, also clad in mail, who at that distance looked like a Christian knight. Rosamund stretched out- her arms towards them. Then suddenly she sprang forward as though she would throw herself into the sea, had not Hassan caught her by the arm and held her back, whilst the other man who was watching slipped between her a.nd the bulwark. In his fury and despair Wulf drove his horse into the water till the waves broke about his middle, and there, since he could go no further, sat shaking his sword and shouting: "Fear not! We follow! We follow! in such a voice of thunder, that even through the wind and across the ever-widening space of foam his words may have reached the ship. At least Rosamund seemed to hear I them, for she tossed up her arms as though in token. But Hassan, one hand pressed upon his heart and the other on his forehead, only bowed thrice in courteous farewell. Then the great sail filled, the oars were drawn in, and the vessel swept away swiftly across the dancing waves, till at length she vanished, and they could only see the sun- light playing on the golden banner of Saladin which floated from her truck.

To-day's Short Story. 1
To-day's Short Story. 1 THE TWO MRS. ELLINGTONS. One morning in the spring the day clerk of a large hotel in Atalanta entered the office and glanced over the register to note the arrivals of the night before. "Rather queer," he said to himself, "here m Mrs. John Ellington registered from New Orleans, and here on the next page is Mrs. John Ellington from Boston." He turned away to answer a question from the bookkeeper, and forgot all about the matter. At ten o'clock the same morning: a pretty little brunette opened the door of room No. 225 and locked out. Her sombre black dress and sad face told the story of a recent sorrow. The lady was Mrs. John Ellington, of New Orleans. While she -was standing there the door of room No. 227, just opposite, opened, and a tall, handsome blonde in the mourning cos- tume of a widow c-ame out. She held a bunch of flowiers in her hand, and after pausing to lock her door she walked quietly to the elevator and disappeared from view. The blonde widow was Mrs. John Ellington, of Boston. Two hours later the New Orleans lady i stood by a newly-made grave in the cemetery. Fresh flowers on his grave," she exclaimed with tears in her eyes. I did not expect it. Poor John was a attungler here, but his kind heaxt must have won him many friends. These flowers show that somebody in this great city loves him and remembers him." The visitor added another floral tribute to the one on the grave. She remained some little time. Finally, with a. silent prayer, Bhe left the place, and, entering a carriage, rode back to the hotel. I wonder who left the flowers there?" she said after she had reached her room. "When John was killed in that awful railroad disaster, and was buried so far away from home, I was afraid, that big- grave would. be neglected until I could care for it myself. Pat somebody here loves him. Perhaps one of his fellow-travellers." She removed her bonnet and threw herself Into a chair, completely exhausted. If John had carried any letters with ham," she murmured, the news would have been telegraphed to me, but he was only accidentally identified, and I knew nothing of the horror until I read it in the news- papers. Oh. I cannot bear up trader my cri.d--it will kill me yet." She threw herself on a lormgia. with her face downward, and sobbed as though her bmart would break. tie»~4>ea2r-xnorzang ladm Xflom New, Orleans was again in the oemetery. As she turned a corner and came suddenly upon the lonely grave of her husband she gaw a black- robed figure lay some flowers on the mound. In a moment the two faced each other. The first comer was the tall blonde of Room No. 227. I must thank you for your thoughtful kindness," said the Ixraisfanian impulsively. And, oh, I am so anxious to learn your name. The other looked startled and almost dazed. She glanced at the flowers in the little woman's hand. I am Mw. Ellington," ehe answered mechanically. How strange. Why, I am Mrs. Elliug- ton! "I am Mrs. John Ellington," was the response. A dead silence fell upon the two. Both turned pale, and they ootrld almost hear each other's heart-beats. "What was John Ellington to you?" asked the blonde, sternly. He was my husband." There was no respbnse for a full minute, a.nd then came the whisper: And he was mine." The two women gazed into each other's eyes. One produced a, locket. "Look at his face." she said. I know," was the sad reply. Tour locket l is just like mine. See." The two portraits were undoubtedly those of the same man—a handsome face—one that any womaia would fall in love with at sight. The whole story was told when the two Mrs. Ellingtons returned to the hotel. John Ellington's business kept him in the North half of every year and in the South the remtain,der of the time. RIa was a. boyish, emotional young fellow, good-hearted, but t,hougbtle--s. Two years before his death he had married in Boston during the summer, and the following winter had married again in New Orleans. He was go reckless and so sure that his secret was safe that he had not even chamged his name. The two women had their marriage certificates, but they would have believed each other without such proof. They instinctively felt that the truth had conse out at last. Poor John," said Mrs. Ellington of New Orleans, I cannot blame him for loving yon." And I know that he could not help his affectfon for you," was the answer. He was very, very good to me." The blonde took the other a little hand in ,heom. He loved us, and we both loved him," she said, softly, tha-t is enough to know. We aamnot judge-we cam only forgive." And t'hen these two sisters of sorrow em- braced and spoke lovrmerJj- of the dead man, and in their simple, sweet mtjr tried to com- I fort eenfc otbor. < <
The Tramp Missioner r-«——
The Tramp Missioner r- « —— M'CLUNG GROWS ELOQUENT AGAINST I TRADUCERS. The Tramp Preachers have settled on the I outskirts of Ipswich'. Chapels and schoolrooms h,%v: n g been denied them, they appealed to headquarters in Belfast, with the result that Belfast sent them a collapsible, portable chap,el big enough to hold 60 souls. The chief mis. sioner is a bearded Irishman, named M'Clung, who is assisted by his wife and one or two newly-made Tramps. I found M'Clung in a small lodging near his temple (says the "Leader's" epecial cor. respondent). He is a handsome man, with magnetic eyes, a rich voice, and very nice, white shapely hands. I struck him at a. sooth-ful time—after dinner. M'Clung grew eloquent over "a mad. man, named Wilson, of Qrettingha-m," and ratEd him soundly for "queering the Tram- pers' pitch" all over a wide district of Suffolk. "He says that we are women-stealere, tha.t we lure girls to America, and sell them to the Mormons, that we entice them to China, where they are sold as wives to the rich yellow men! It is all a. lie-a. disgraceful lie. What Other Prophets Say. In all the dozens of religions and scores of sects we are the only Christiana who preach the Bible as it. should be preached. The State Church does not, the Roman Catholics do not, the Nonconformists do not-" "That," said I, "is exactly what John Alexander Dowie, Brother Prince, Johanna Souitibcote, Smyth-Pigott, King Solomon, of Arragoeobah, and Mrs. Eddy say." M'Clung shrugged his shoulders. "Anyway, we are honest! At least, I am I" "And Who are 'we' ?" We have no name," he replied, but the ribald multitude give us many. Some call us Cooneyites, some call us Tramps, Faith Miasioners, No Secters, Women-Thieves, and so on. Well, we are Cooneyites. We a.re also M'Chmgites, for Cooney is no greater than 1. We have no established leader in this world. We ask for no money. We have no collec- tions. The Lord provides everything." Even to the fares for sending young girls far away in distant countries? Even to that. We have recently sent girls to America, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, South Africa China? "What's the use of sending them to China if they don't know the language? Nothing to Do with Mormonism. I ventured to remark about the salubrity of Salt Lake Oity. Mr. M'Clung was deeply pained. He assured me vehemently that the firm of Cooney and Co.. or M'Clung and Co. ( (as you will), had absolutely no connection, business or otherwise, with the Mormon establishment. But even he could not explain away the deep-rooted hatred of the Tramp Preachers which has brought clergymen out of their quiet vicarage- hotly protesting, which has set by the ears High Churchmen, Low Church- men, Roman Catholics, and Nonconformists of all shades, which has stirred local authori- ties to action, and which has made sus- picious farmers lock their daughters in their rooms at night, and set sturdy bailiffs and grooms to patrol tb.0 farmhouse until day- dawn in case of attempted escape.
Gallant Rescue at Cardiff
Gallant Rescue at Cardiff There was a plucky rescue at Cardiff on Saturday evening. A child, named Thomas Morgan, aged five, the son of a seaman living at 41, Hill s-terrace, fell into the Glamorgan- shire Canal. No one seems to have witnessed the actual incident, but a few moments later Mr. John Albert Sladen, employed by Mr. Lewis Halewood, 11, Bridge-etreet, noticed the child's body in the water. Without hesita- tion Mr. Sladen plunged into the canal, which at that spot is 8ft. deep, and, at no little peril to his own life, managed to save the child. The little one was unconscious, but first-aid methods were resorted to, and on Sunday it was little the worse for its expe- rience.

Place in a saucepan containing a little boil- ing water and steam for an hour and a half. To Nag Successfully. I Some husbands appear to dislike more than the weeping wife the nagging one. To nag successfully a wife must let no opportunity go by of finding fault. If you are a nagging wife and want to be thorough in your work, you must, if taken to the theatre, complain thaA your seat is next a good one and that you can't see. When you change houses you muat make odious oomparisons between the small one you have left and the big one his industry has provided for you, always to the disad- vantage of the big one. Husbands are quite chilled by systematic disapproval; there- fore, the nagging programme is to be recom- mended when a woman is in a hurry to secure her husband's dislike. Supposing your husband to be one of those open-hearted and confiding specimens who long for sympathy, and pays you the com- pliment of telling you he values your opinion and advice, grant him no attention when he talks to you about his business affairs. Such subjects, you may inform him, do not inte- rest you one bit. It may occur that he will even then persist, and should he do 80 your beat plan is to go away and sulk. Few men admire sullen wives.

Another rehearsal or two will give our star a good grip on her new mannerism, and after that there's nothing left but to write a play around it. Two weeks, I shouM say, at the outside." THE OLD MAN'S WARNING. A young man was trying to make himself too agreeable to a. girl sealed on his right, when suddenly an old man on his left nudged him with his elbow and hoarsely whispered, "Young rnT-n. pause and reflect!" "Are you speaking to me, sir?" demanded the young man. Yes, to you; but I've got such a cold that I cannot say much. Let me repeat that you should pause and reflect!" What for?' "Let the young lady alone. Suppose that you suooeed in making that girl think you're a nice fellow?" Well, what of it?" It might lead to a. oase of love, and love to marriage." Oh, mind your own business, sir!" replied the young man. That's what I'm doing, sir. I'm that girl's father, and I don't wa.nt any more sons-in-law. I've got four of them already, and I'm supporting the lot of 'em, and before you saddle me with a fifth you'd better pause and reflect!"

INot Made of Cast Iron.1
I Not Made of Cast Iron.1 CARDIFF SECONDARY SCHOOL RULES I Mr. John Obappell directed the attention of the city council this morning to a draft circular with reference to the admission of children to the Municipal Secondary School. That circular stipulated that only those candidates whose parents declared their intention of keeping them in school for two years after their admission would be admitted. This was placing an unfair restriction upon children of a. large percen- tage of working people who, being casual workers, could give no assumnce that they would keep their children in the school for two years. He moved that the resolution be deleted, and this was seconded by Mr. W. S. Grossman, but, defeated by a large majority. Mr. C. F. Sanders moved an addition, mak- ing it ciear that the regulation was not intended to prevent the children continuing their attendance simply on the ground that thfa circumstances of the parents might have changed during the term of two years. Mr. Lewis Morgan explained that the education committee dealt with each case on its merits, and that that regulation was not a oaet-iron one, and there were numerous instances of the committee dealing sympathe- tically and generously with poor parents, who were really anxious about the educa- tion of their children. Mr. Sanders was ruled out of order, and his motion fell through.

LEGEND OF A PICTURE. J
LEGEND OF A PICTURE. At Christie's, on Saturday, there was a sale of modern pictures, among which was Mr. Arthur Drummond's Bobs and the Baby." This onoe popular work illustrates the legend of the general with a little girl on his knee, teaching her how to write. and rebuking an orderly who interrupts him, with the remark, "Can't you see I'm busy?" Lord Roberts himself has denied the truth of the story, and this possibly accounts for the picture's depreciation in value, for it was knocked down at 28 guineas. A few years ago it would have been considered cheap at ten times that sum.

Temptations of a Ring.
Temptations of a Ring. CARDIFF ORPHAN GIRL'S DOWNFALL I Madeline Jenkins, eighteen, respect-ably dressed, has been for some time in the ser- vice, as a nurse girl, of Mrs. Janes, wife of Mr. John Arch da.11 Jones, of The Red Dragon, Xo. 80, Queen-street, Oardiff. Mrs. Jones pos- sesses, amongst other valuables, a zCI5 gold diamond ring, and this ring Madeline was charged at Cardiff Police-oourt to-d-ay with stealing. Mr. J. A. Jones was handed the ring, which he identified, and said he last saw it on Saturday morning at half-past eight in the chest of drawers. Later in the day the police made a communication to him, and, though he searched diligently, he failed to find the ring anywhere. Prisoner attempted to pawn the article, but failed. She told a long story, but denied having been in service at the Red Dragon. Detective Charles Powell arrested the prisoner at 80, Queen-street. She ex- plained thart, she was out waliking with two of Mr. Jones's children when one of them (Gordon) dropped something. That was the ring, which a girl picked up and asked her (prisoner) to pawn. Subsequently prisoner admitted having taken the ring that morning from the drawer in which it was kept at the Red Dragon. It transpired that prisoner was a poor orphan girl, and prosecutor, under the cir- cumstances, appealed to the bench for leniency. The magistrates entertained the appeal, and, prisoner being a Oa/tfholic, it was decided to arrange, if possible, for her removal to Nazareth House.

GERMS IN PHYSIC.I
GERMS IN PHYSIC. I The Chicago meat scandal has raised the, question as to the purity or otherwise of the preparations made from the various glands of animails and used as remedial agents in medicine. Extracts of the thyroid gland, of various portions of the brain, of the supra-renal capsules, and so on. are used in various forms in medicine, and it is obvious that if these are taken from diseased animals they may themselves be the means of conveying disorders. A "Tribune" representative has elicited a reassuring statement on this point from the manager of a firm of well-known manufactur- ing chemists. This gentleman said there was not the least cause for alarm on the part of the public. The method employed for collecting and extracting the active principle of the glands was of such a character that there was no possibility for the germs of disease to have any existence at all."

I The Hampstead Antiquarian and Historical Society held their first outdoor meeting of the summer session on Saturday, when a visit was paid to a number of places of historic interest in Highgate. Finally, the company proceeded to the Old Gate House Hotel, which was first licensed in 1377, where the ancient ceremony of "Swearing on the horns" was performed in accordance with the old customs and traditions, a certificate of the" freedom" of Highgate being given to each person. In the quaint language of the charge, a "freeman of Highgate must not eat brown bread while he can get white, except he like the brown best; he must not drink small beer while he can get strong, except he like the small the best; and he must not kiss the maid whilst he can kiss the mistress, except he like the maid the best, or have the chance to kiss them both."

"PLAY FORWARD."1 t
"PLAY FORWARD." 1 t THE RUGGER MEMENTO FUSS. There was quite a football flavour about the cricket team that did duty for Cardiff against Swansoo. on Saturday. Percy Bush, R. T. Gabe, wnd Cecil Biggs in one little lot savoured of scores from tries rather than items in ruu totals. You would think that the presence of these three favourites would have oamseil much Swansea joy, but Swansea, folk while immensely pleased to see the trio as kickers, grumbled a. bit to find them there as cricketers. They have an idea down St. Helen's way that Cardiff forget to send their best to Swansea, and I must say that there is ample evidence to prove that such a grumble is by no means undeserved, it being quite a wander to find a full Cardiff team operating on the sward by the side of the Swansea sea. Swansea had by no means her best side out. J. G. Ardaseer was away, and in his stead F. Humphreys operated, the latter's inclusion creating spectatoral satis- faction. Gill was given a rest, Pritchard, tho seconds fast bowler, taking his place. Swansea were not at all anxious to declare, evidently feeling quite insecure with the double century in hand, and Stanley Bees and Dr. Oameron were sent in to help the total to 228 before they felt convinced that Cardiff oould be safely allowed a knock. This hesi- tancy cost the St. Helenites the match, for in the time between 4.36 and 6.30 they failed to dispose of the opposition. Eight for 107, match drawn, when it might have been won by an earlier closure. An ertJro. fifteen minutes often means the dif- ference between the victory and the draw. It was surely worth while to take the risk of 200 being sufficient for the day. But it is quite the fashion to delay declares," eo I suppose no one must be displeased. Mean- while, spectators sigh in vain for plain vic- tory or lom rœlts. Let them sigh. Crick is a Dove such upheavals. Some day they will stop away altogefther, and so cease sighing. Then the sighs will come from the other side. What a pretty to-do there is over the pro- Posed momentoes to the successful Cardiff team. The union says that two guineas is sufficient memento value per man, but the supporters committee formed for the pur- pose of carrying the presentations through think it quite insufficient and in the think- ing say quite unpleasant things of the union. With regard to the latter little need be said. Folk who occupy prominent positions must needs take kicks as well as pats, and early learn to smile in between. But the little statement that the Welsh Union is down upon the Cardiff Club was entirely foolish, and should never have been uttered. Now, I must confess to being quite unable to see why mementoes of greater value than two guineas could not be given to the men who did so well last season. And I assure my readers that the union members gene- rally are not in themselves averse to such deserved presentations on occasions of a like kind. But the fact is that the union hesitate to believe that they would be acting up to the spirit of the professional laws by giving their sanction to anything more than what could, without cavilling, be pro- perly called mementoes. Had this decision been a new one I could understaad the charge of the union being "down" upon the Cardiff Olub. But it is not new by any means. It is many years old. Bob Thomas, the Swansea forward, had it applied in his case when an application was received from Swansea to be allowed to present him, Olll his retirement, with a gold watah. There was a general opinion then that this forward deserved honouring, but the union, holding the view they did, would not grant its consent. So that, far from being down on Cardiff, the committee only acted according to precedent, unpleasant as it was. With the harder wickets that settled sun- shine brings we shall have the bats of the "play forward" type making themselves felt. The tail has been quite the most important part from a size point. of view of local sides during the past weeks. It would have made" a few cricketers had the wickets continued tricky for a, few weeks longer, for players would, with the repetition of cyphers, begin to re-learn their batting, and in the doing avoid to fall into the error of adopting the forward style of play for every ball they failed to fully understand. The length and weakness of this tail drew direct attention to the mechanical style of batting affected by many of those known as our best bats. Play forward to it and kill it before it rises has been dinned eo often into the years of the young player that he has sacrificed almost all to it. On hard wickets when curl is at a discount, with fast rising balls coming straight and true, he has found it a ready means of smother ing what he has not trained himself to play. He becomes content, becomes pleased, blesses hie style, adopts fotward play, amd pendulunuaoity for anything and everything. Nor will he vary-whether the ball becomes the size of a pill or as big as a cabbage. And why should he? The hard wicket is there; it pays him. But the day of reckoning comes-the sticky wicket, the ball that hangs the break away and the break back, and eoon it is tut tut and tut again. Spectatoral smiles become sniggers,, the admired the despised, and feel- ings are hurt. All of which goes to show that, while forward play is helpful and needful, it should not be allowed to stunt the cricket growth by spoiling the cricket eye.

Acctised was first arrested on Wednesday last, a.nd again on Thursday, on charges of being drunk and incapable. He was admitted to bail on both occasions, but failed to appear at the court to answer the charges, and on Friday the present warrant was issued for his arrest.

Accused replied that he was not well enough; that was the sole reason. The Magistrate: Why did you not send some explanation ?—That is what I ought to have done. You see you would have saved yourself the indignity of being arrested on a warrant.— No one feels his position more than I do. Mr. Plowden fined defendant 56.
