To-day's Short Story-I
To-day's Short Story- I IN PARTHEN!A'S GARB. It was at the masquerade ball. He had Oome as Ingomar, she as PartTienia. He had graduated from Harvard only the June pre- vious, and, as he was accustomed to spend his vacation with his family in Europe or on the seaboard, he had scarcely been home for four years. This was the nrst event of his 'home-coming, so not only was he a compara- tive stranger, but the few recognisable faces were masked from view. The accident of their costumes had assured him his nrst dance with Parthenia, and fortune had given Mm the re&t. As they danced together it was as if they were moving in a dream. In the gay eddies of bright costumes, in the strange jumbling of the garments of all ages and ail cranes, they two seemed fated to cling together. s&d thug to be alone. In the mystery of her presence he forgot himself and his isolation, content with the thought that for a moment there was harmony between them. Often other strangers are attracted by subtle ties of sympathy, and in the nrst hour of inter- course are induced to toach on heart secrets that years of friendahip could not elicit. Once she seemed to quesrMon who he was. "You have been to college—to Harvard?" she said, as they were dajtcing a quadrille. He looked at her inqu'inng'ly. For a Tnomeut she fancied he recognised her voice. No," he anaworedL, as be took her hand in the gratnd right and left. Then, regret- ting even a masquerade falsehood, or, perl).3lpa, with his vanity aroused to know .why ahe had thought him a college man, he .waited until they were together again, and -asked the reason for the qmei#,ion. Notbimg," she reTdiied, soft&y. Only I once had a friend at Harrard. a. very dear friend." That ia such a daBt&ntftTve misfortTtne," he ifemaj'ked, with a. toach of smi'ling irony. STie seemed sadder and more thougtful, and -did. not reply. His cariosity was arouaed. PoeEa'My he was to-ttched with the dreajny regret of her voice. I omoe Mved im C,%mbrklm- he eadd. tt.- tivoly, aTld knew mamy coNegie men." ahe shook her heaz, aind was sijiemt. "I knew Bthetbeft Pean-y amd- Baric Bfaj-voi. Sho was stalled. Yes, she replied, aft<er at moonent'a beai- ta.tKxn. Mr. Perry is engaged to a. Miea Oraig, a.nd Mr. Xatrvin is now in Em'ope." He bit has liTpe im perpje'x&y. Yet why meed 2- aeek to dwoover who ahe waa? However, she seemed dwsaxasfie& "You Tcnow Mr. Marvin?" ahe -uske& Be Ia<ughed conactfously. "Yea, I h&ve heard of him. He was a. wild, haa"nm-aea<r'um teHow, 'well knowTi in hd& ciiass, but a. grea.t prig." He had ma-oy friends?** she asked, wiatr tui-ty. At first sdght peopte Ehked him. Thee, be demanded abruptly, Do you know bun ?" No," she a-n&wered, aAer a. ahght besita, tiom. Then. she said, I ha.ve heajd he wae very popular." She damced very well. As often happens 'with giria of her restrained disposition, she became strajigdy impulsive with the excite- ment of emotion. When they ceased and -went together into the oonservatory she was beaming' with gladness. How pleasact," she exclaimed. Ah, it m'akes me feej. as if I were.-a girl again, and thought of nothing but friendship and Sowers He was a-mueed at her assumption of Tnatority. Really," be said, wrth a' sly irony, yoa. bear your age wonderfully; you are remark- ably well preserved." She la-ugbed at the odd banter of his tone. Do yon really think me so yoamg?" she tasked, a. little piq-ued. Ah," he said, with. a languishing look, you are as young as the unfolding lily, as young as the rosebud art dawn." Tha-t ia true." ahe said demurely. My t mother has orten toM me that I waa born young. Very soon she re'tapeed into her mood of 'silence. After ail, be tiho-ught her better thus. As she clung to his arm she brought bim dreams of his boyhood, when. he had cared for one as lovely as ahe, perha-pe, but .now Bo long forgatte'n. They walked out inito the haM, and aacendpd the central stair- way, w'here t-hey could overlook the dancers f>eneaJtih. He leaned his head a,-aimst the ba'lnst.rade. She sat chM?ping beT knee and gazing at Mm abstra/ctedty. She was under i the stmnge-ly imaginativ<e influenœ of the masquerade. Perhaps it was just this very 'dream ma-uenoe t'bat pi-eased him so, for is not an fnendehi'p. a)Il passion, a dTeafm? Certain it was that, as they aat together, strangers though they v-ere, t<heTe was a perfect understanding between t<hem—eo per- fect, tn'doed, that for a. long time neither 6TX)ke nor wished to apea: He had. been watching -:J1e gay movements 'of the quadrille. The! motley dancers in the parlours beneath wove in and out in a turmoil of movement an<t colour. He felt pe'culia.rly isolated amo'DS' so much mTrth .and gaiety. A stranger r:: a strange Land is cot botif go lonely as a stranger in the home of his people. At last, as if recalling hia fancies, he turned, and eaid, fixing his ga-ze upon her mask: I ajn so glad that I came as Ingomar." She was listening, but did not mind his words. Perhaps it was the rich strength of his voi&e that caught her ear. Because, you see, my costume privileges xne to devote myself to Parthenia." She seemed pleased at ttda and repe&ted: I have enjoyed our dances very much." And I may have the waltz after unmask- tng?" he said, smiling at the na-ivete of h.Kr remiark. Because, you see, as yet I have only known 'Parthenia. And I, too, have enjoyed our dances." She shook her head sostly. No, I shall go home before the unmasking." She arose and they descended to the hall. His heart was ailed with delight at her pre- sence. Already he had conceived a friend- ship for her. She aoemed so simple amd ao graceful that it seemed aa if he had always known her. The thought of her going nlied him with tender regret. The q'uadrille had ended. It was but a. moment before the unmasking. Come," he said. You say you have really preferred myself to Ingomar. Can't you give me just this one last dance? The rest. y.:Jou know, wer<- scarcely my own." No," ahe saJd, "the un-ma-sking would spoil it all. Let us part Tmacquainted." Now what aha.It I tx'ii<*ve?" b<; burst out, with pretended pique. It is 1. not Ingom.ar, and yet the unmasking wo-uld e'poil it all." Then the waltz musM bega.n. The dancers :threw aside th"ir masks. There IwLs a burst of murm'ura and la-ughter, the regret of dis- appointment a-nd the surpTMe of recogni- tion. In the confusion she drew nearer to him. He ianghed with joy, seized her hand, a.nd bro.ke into the d.ance. No. no." she cried, tosBi'ng her head a.nd Strr-ngg!iln,g from his arms. "Oh. you must not, Do let me P,- i He laughed again..

I Fight for a Girl. 11 I WOMEN'S STRUGGLE IN A POLICE COURT. An extraordinary fight for a girl w.ae wit- ceased a, Breoitiford Police-court yesteTd&y. During the struggle the girl shrieked that she w<mH not go home, but eventually her father def&ated his opponents—two well- dreaaed women—and bore her off. The case w<bich calmina.ted in the fight "as a 3umTH!CMis for aasault brous-ht a-gajnst Mrs. Majsh Edwards, the wife of the Rev. Msmh EdTva.rds. said to ha.To been a. Boma-n Catholic bishop, by Mrs. B.ake.r. of Bayonne- itoad, HamiQarsmith. Mr. Fi<-th, Mrs. Ba-ker'a solicitoir, told the ma.gi9t.ratœ t-hat .bia clients daughter, LouNt. a. girl not yet sixteen, wrote to her mother some time after she had taken eer- vice wit.h Mrs. Edwards making certain alle gatioll8 against, the cha.ra<*t€r of tbe hou.ac.

Bak&?. went to take her away by force Mrs. Edwajds. she allege threw her through the door. Mr. and Mrs. Baker made other efforts to get the')' daughter a<way, but they failed, a,nd Mr. Firth complained to the magistrates yesterday tha.t Some Evil Influence was being brought to bear on his client's I daiight,er. When the girl herself stepped into the witmess-box aha astonished the court by declaring that her mother was not touched by Mrs. Edwa.rds, although her mother de- c .that she was preEcmt when the attack wa<a made. No one struck her," she sa-id. When the clerk asked Mr. Firth, Is this your witness?" be replied; "Yes, my witness who is under the influence of this woman," pointing to Mrs. Edwards. Mr. Jemner, Mrs. Edwards's solicitor, aaid: The allegationa are faJse. The caae is simply a blackmailing job, ajid——" is dismissed," said the presiding mAgistrate, and then, almost as th< worda left hia lips, two well-dressed women who had not given evidence rushed tovra.rda The girl. Mr. and Mrs. Baker also ran to her, and the four began a nefce strnggLo for the girl, who was shrieking at 'tihe top of her voice. The wannant omcer forcibly removed the Sg'h)ters, but they continued the stru-ggle out- side the court. An enormous crowd, a.tt.ratoted by the girl's cries, gathered, and when the father at last gained posaeseic-n of her he was followed by hundred of people. The girl continued to shriek that she would mot go home, and the two unknown women a-gain and again attempted to take her from her father, until he boarded a pae&ing tram and escaped.

I Arab Row at Cardiff. t
I Arab Row at Cardiff. t I WALKtNG ST!CK AS WEAPON. I A trio of dusky Mahometans figured at Cardiff Police-court to-day. Haesin Abdovea, i 30, was charged with violently assaulting and wounding Hamid Sa.He on the forehead with a walking-stick with intent in Chris- tima-etreet. H.a.mid's Mack head was deco- rated with a white bandage. A third man stood between the two as interpreters. Mr. Morgan Bees defended. Prosecutor is a ftrema,n, Hvicg at 45, Chris- tina-street, and his story was that, at half- past one on the previous afternoon, prisoner ruahed up to him and hit him with the walking-stick. In answer to Mr. Morgan Rees, prosecutor said the blow was not struck in self-defence, nor had there been any words about getting a berth as fireman on a steamer. Police-sergeant Dredge depoaed that out- side the house w<here prisoner was a boa.rdeT he saw a number of Arabs, including prose- cutor, who was bleeding from a wound on the forehead. H'J said in English, and in prisoner's presence, "Look what this man has done to me!" The sergeant produced the stick, on which he found blood and hair. Dr. J. J. Buist (police-surg'eon) said the wound was 2n. long, and extended to he bone. There was a bruise on the left side of the head and a cut on the lower lip. The wound might have been caused by tJte stick produced. For the dafen.ce Mr. Morgan Rees sadd there was a row near the shipping omce earUer in the day. Afterwards the Arabs congregated in Christina-street, where the was renewed, and the blow dealt by prisoner was delivered in Belt-defence. The ma-gii3tra-tcs (Messrs. T. H. Stephens and F. J. jLa.mbert) took a. lenient view of the case, and imposed a pena.tty of 20s. and costs, or 21 days.

Bayonets Against Girts.
Bayonets Against Girts. EXCITING SCENES AT AN IRISH FARM Fresh disturbances broke out a,t Ba'Uim- geary, near Maoroom, County Cork, on Bun- day, as tH'e result of the eviction in July last of a. man najned Ma-honey. An indignation meeting was held in the village, ajid a.fterwa.rds the crowd proceeded to Mahoney's farm, which is now ocoupied by an "emergency" man. The place was gua,rd'ed by a.bout a. dozen pohcemen, who, finding it unpcssible to keep the crowd ba<-k by pushing with their rifles, nxed bayoneta and poiTiled them at the breasta of the attackers. The crowd retired, but a second atta<ck, headed by young girls, was made. The girls pressed on, followed by a strong battalion of stalwart young men, and the situation asaumed a grave aspect. The pohce were a.ppa.rently becoming nervous, and at mter- vals were compelled to press the bayonets a,ga.Ln6t the aggressors. Stones were thrown from the outskirts of the crowd. In vain the police a.ppea,Ied to the crowd to demist, for they were in a state of feverish excitement. Finding that single line of coBsta.buIa.ry, armed as they were, impe.ne- tra-ble, some of the people proceeded to the back premises, and soon the door was smashed in. The efforts of the defenders were all but overcome until one of the 'polioomen fired two shots through the roof of the house, and this materially checked the advance.

A COLLIERY SURFACEMAN b ?- J — Offers a profitable suggestion- The many friendly and prontable suggestions which reach us daily; are flattering evidence of the keen interest our readers display in these experiences. A capital little notion comes irom Mr. J. C. Walker (a colliery surfaceman), who was distressingly affected by the nerve wreck. ing clang and clatter of the machinery around him, and, in search oi relief, hit upon the idea of measuring 70 drops of Phosferine (the famous Nerve Tonic) into an ordinary medicine bottle, and filling up with water, and taking a dose two or three times a day. The result was splendid, and Mr. Walker says that Phosferine has so permanently strengthened and restored his nerves that he no longer supers any discomfort, and can now easily withstand the harmful effects of his occupation. Which has been thoroughly tested. Mr. John C. Walker (Colliery surfaceman), 74, Poolsbrook, Staveley, near Chesterfield, writes:—" I voluntarily write these few words in justified praise of your wonderful Phosferine. Being constantly subjected to the heavy rattle and the nerve-wrecking squeak of heavy machinery and the continual buzz of electric motors, I am specially liable to headaches, neuralgia and general dull, heavy bead troubles, and for quick, sure relief, and a speedy cure for worn-out nerves I find Phosferine has no equal. My method of taking is 70 drops in an ordinary medicine bottle (12 doses), then fill up with water, taking a dose twice or thrice a day. Wishing Phosferine the success it assuredly deserves."—March 5, ioo6. The Royal Example. Phosferine is used by the Royal Families of Europe which in p!ah tanguage, means that every user of Phosferine knows and feet that the Tonic is commended by the greatest living Physicians. W?
