To-day's Short Story, j
To-day's Short Story, j A STRANGE YARN. I am a poor lawyer in a small town in the SEoantaina of Kentucky. On a winter's night in 18— I was sitting in my office reading over my well-thumbed copy of the code, hunting up the law of murder. I was Smoking my pipe, and had gotten up to stir up the embers in my stove, when I saw from my window which fronted on the public square, a man walking along in what seemed to be a deep meditation. His hands were locked behind him, his head drooping on his breast, and his step was slow and weary. A dog followed at his heels. The dog was a fierce-looking bull-dog. The hour was late, and I was surprised to see any one out of doors at such an hour. The villagers were long since at home, and not a light from any window could be seen. My curiosity was aroused, and having marked my page and placed my book on the table, I went to the window and watched the man with a great deal of interest. As in all western towns, the court house stood in the middle of the square. It was a solid old stone build- ing, with immensely thick walls, which were supported by buttresses that jutted out at each corner of the four walls. A tall spire rose from the building, in which the old brazen bell had. rung out ita various calls for a century or more. This spire cast a long, slender shadow over the square. The shape of the shadow being triangular, the apex of it reached directly under my window. In my desire to satisfy my curiosity about the solitary mail whom I had seen, I walked to my door, so as to be out of the shadow of the spire. I stepped out on the porch, and saw stranger figure than before creeping along in the darkness of the shadow of the gpire, every iiow and then with a hasty move- ment gliding into the corners where th-e buttresses were. My astonishment and inte- rest arose to a great degree. I softly stepped iback into the threshold of my door so as to 1b-t, hidden from the view of both men, but where I could plainly see everything. It was growing exciting now, and my heart thumped against my breast with a noise, as I thought, that, could be heard by both men. When the man with the dog had reached the town pump and -bad stepped to drink from the nozzle, the person who had been, creeping along in the shadow stepped suddenly out in the moonlight, and with an oa.th rushed upon the first man.. The man. at the pump turned quickly at the sound of rapid fcotstteps approaching, and, seeing a man with arm upraised and brandishing a large knife rushing towards him, fled with a loud scream of terror. The dog faced the pursuer. He seemed to be transformed from a dog into a fiend. With eyes fairly darting fire, every bristle on his .body standing up like quills on a porcupine, he waited for his approach. With a growl of fierce anger, he sprang at the throat of the man with the knife. But the dog was beaten down by the man, who rufhed on in pursuit. My tongue was paralysed; I tried to. call out. With my eyes almost starting from their sockets and all power of motion having left my body, I saw the pursuer gain his victim, and with another oath plunge his weapon up to the hilt three or four times itnto the body of the screaming man. The murdered one fell, and the murderer cast his knife into the snow and fled. By that time I had re-gained my senses. I am an old man, and easily excited. 1 rushed towards the body of the murdered man, and when I had nearly reached it the body and the dog, whicfh had crept to its master's side, and was licking the dead man's wounds, had disappeared. I stopped and stared at the snow-, where I had seen the dead man lying. With every nerve in my frame quivering with pain and excitement, I reeled and fell fainting in the snow. On tlhe next morning I went to old Squire i Harris's to dinner. The squire and his family were the aristocrats of the place. Thirhome was a grand old mansion on a high hill that overlooked the lovely little valley in wthich the village nestled. It was the habit of the squire to give a dinner once a month to all of hiF. friends in the village. I was one of his particular friends and owed many a kindness to the good old man. On that morning I trudged up the steep path to the hall, as it was always called by the village folks. On my way I heard a noise in the thick undergrowth that bound the path on either side. I stopped, thinking I might surprise a marauder in the squire's ground. I pushed aside the bushes, and upon looking through saw only a dog. But, Heaven's above! It was the same dog I had seen the previous night. The same fierce bulldog. My horror and astonishment caused me to let the bushes slip from my grasp, and the snapping of the twigs made the dog utter a low, vicious growl and run frantically at the place where I stood. Having nothing to defend myself with against the dog, I became very much alarmed at my danger. With a savage growl the dog leaped the hedge, and would have attacked me had not a harsh voice called out at the moment, "Down, sir; down!' The animal immediately crouched and cringed at the feet of a gentleman who sud- denly appeared from around a curve in the path. The gentleman, politely lifting his hat, said, "He is a dangerous animal, sir, but very dear to me. Allow me to apologise to you for the discomfort he has occasioned you. At first I was too much exhausted to speak. When I looked at him what was my horror and surprise to face the man whom I had seen foully murdered, as I thought, the night previous. With staring eyes and mouth open, through excess of terror, my first impulse was to run as fast as my two tired limbs would let me. He looked at me in astonishment at my seeming fear of him, and said, "You are ill; did the dog bite you before I called him?" Courage having returned to me, I answered him "No, sir; I am perfectly well, but very badly winded by the chase." He smiled at my rather grim joke, and then we walked on in silence to the hall. The Squire met us at the door, shook my hand cordially, and introduced me to my com- panion. My companion's name I found was Randolph. I went on into the Squire's library, and after we had smoked a cigar I asked the aquire who and what Randolph was. He told me that he was a lawyer. He had lived most of his life at Cleveland Ohio, but on some account he had left the place and wanted to settle in our village. He had brought a letter of introduction to the squire, and was a guest in the house until he could make final arrangements for the purchase of a house of his own. I then told the squire what I bad seen the night before. He laughed at my fears, and jestingly told me that I was a little daft. I answered him with a very serious face, and told him Randolph was the man I had seen, and that the dog was the same one, too. We then went into dinner. It was dark when we bade our genial host good-night. Randolph touched me on the arm as I turned to go, and said he would walk down to the village with me on his way to his tavern. I could not object, but cold chills crept over me at he thought of walking alone at night with a murdered man. We started down, the poa.th, with that fiendish dog following at our heels. As we neared the bottcm of the hill the moon ro-e. The moonlight gradually spread over the valley. The snow-covered houses below us, the glorious night, and the strange appear- ance of the earth under the ghastly light of the moon, in addition to the companionship of a man whom I had seen murdered, induced me to screw my courage up. I stopped, turned to my companion, and, with a. quaking hand laid upon hi? shoulder, ques- tioned him why he had left a. large city to bury himself in this out-of-the-way village. Mr. Maywood," he said, I was a suc- cessful lawyer in Cleveland. I was rich. I had made a name among my colleagues. I had a. wife, a beautiful, lovely girl. My wife's j brother is the cause of my refuge in this place. He wa-i a clerk in a banking-house. Like a great many men, he began to gamble. He became a defaulter. I, to hide hiE, zlam-e and for my wife's sake, paid the amount he had stolen. She was ignorant of her brother's theft. The brother returned my kindness one day by stealing from me. I &ent him away in anger. Before he left the room he insulted me. I struck him. "My wife took her brother's part, and deserted me on account of my cruelty to him, as Fhe believed it. That man has attempted three times to take my life. I was obliged to leave Cleveland and seek refuge from his murderous hand. My heart was broken by my wife's desertion of me, and I only hope for a peaceful death by coming here." I could contain myself no longer. I told Randolph what I had seen the night before. He became pale as death, and with a trembling voice, said: "I have received a warning, too. God for- bid that I will have to leave this haven which I have sought for." "By this time we had reached my door. His tavern was across the square. I bade him good-night and went in. I had hardly been in a minute when I heard three or four loud screams of agony and fear. I rushed out of doors just in time to see Mr. Randolph throw up his hands in the air, reel, and fall helpless in the snow, his dog crouching by his side, licking his womids. A knife lay in the snow, glistening in the moonlight. A man was running up the road and rapidly disappearing. All had happened as I have related. Lights flared in the village, windows went up with a bang, and in a few moments an excited crowd had collected around the body, and it wa-s borne to the tavern. The murderer was afterwards found, and proved to be the brother of Randolph's wife. He had traced Randolph from place to place, and at last killed him. He was prosecuted and convicted by me. His execution took place ten years ago. Was it not a strange &wry?

Shortly after Christmas I began vO feel very much depressed. I did not feel &t all well, and I was not able to look after my duties.

I got a little better and came back here, but was very far from being really well. My mother suggested that I should try your Iron-Ox Tablets. I got a packet. at once, and I am very glad I did, for I had not been taking them for long when my friends began to tell me that I was looking much brighter and better. I continued with them, and I must sa<y they have done me a wonderful amount of good. In fact, I am quite well now, and I feel that I owe it all to Iron-Ox Tablets. (Signed)- E. M. HATCHER.

I MOTHER COMPENSATEDl
I MOTHER COMPENSATED l His Honour Judge Owen, at Newport County-court on Thursday considered the Workmen's Compensation case of King v. the Ebbw Vale Steel, Iron, and Coal Company (Limited), in which a sum of £ 218 was claimed in respect of the death by aocident of the applicant's son, aged 25. who was employed at the Prince of Wales Colliery, Aberoarn. Air. E. H. C. Wethered (instructed by Mr. H. C. Austey) appeared for the appli- cant—a very deaf woman, aged 70 years; Mr. Yazie Simons appeared for the respon- dent. The only question at issue was as to the applicant being dependent upon her son. Mrs. King lives at Bristol, and the son worked intermittently in South Wales col- lieries. His average wages were stated at his last work to be £ 1 Os. SJd. per week. The respondents, therefore, contended that, after paying 12s. per week for lodgings, he could not have sent much to his mother. His Honour, in the result, made an award for £158 5s. 6d., and costs on Scale C.
MARSHFIELD FARMERS' DISPUTE,…
MARSHFIELD FARMERS' DISPUTE, j At Newport Oounty-oourt on Thursday the case of Price v- Phillips was heard." It was a. claim by Miss Grace Madge Price to obtain payment of V,57 for cows sold, and in respect of damages for breach of contract. Both parties are farmers at Maxshlield. Mr. Yachell appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Sankey (instructed by Messrs. Davies, Nash, and Co.) defended. There was a deal for two cows at LZ5, and au arrangement that the defendant was to cut and harvest the plaintiffs hay. A sum of LIS was paid into court, which with the 4,7 for doing the harvesting, was sufficient to pay for the cows. The other point raided was whether there was damage to the hay by the defendant's negligence in not carrying the hay during the fine weather. Miss Price produced a sample of the hay from a handbag. His Honour told her to put it back in her pocket. He held that there was no evidence I of damage, and, therefore, gave judgment for the amount paid into court, the plaintiff to pay the costs.

" NO MORE OF IT."
NO MORE OF IT." Husband Closes the Door to His Wife. SEQUEL TO CARDIFF VISIT i The stipendiary (Mr. T. W. Lewis) sitting at Cardiff Police-court on Thursday had before him a case in which Elizabeth Jane Beer summoned her husband, Francis J. Beer, for desertion. Mr. Harold Lloyd was for the complainant; Mr. George David defended. The facts, Mr. Harold Lloyd said, were out of the ordinary course. The parties were married in 1899, and there were five children of the marriage. Defendant was a master mariner, and he lived with his wife at Bide- ford. On July 3, 1904, complainant came from Bideford on a visit to Cardiff with her husband's consent, and she brought two of the children with her. On July 10 she wrote to her husband that she was about to return to him, but he replied from Bideford that this house will be closed to-morrow morn- ing," complainant, he alleged, having got him into a mess," and he was determined to have no more of it." Defendant went on, Your conduct has not been as it should. You seem to think more of someone else. You Call do as you like. Someone else will keep you. I have finished with you." In all his letters defendant declared lie would have no more to do with his wife; he charged her with committing misconduct with a man named Everitt, and that was the reason he assigned for refusing to live with her. The parties entered into negotia.tions. Defen- dant consulted a firm of solicitors at Exeter, and they suggested certain terms. Mrs. Beer did not agree to those terms, and defendant sent his wife 25s. a week, which she accepted. On November 25, 1905, the husband filed a I divorce petition, on the ground of the alleged misconduct with Everitt, defendant claiming damages, and asking for a decree nisi and custody of the children. The misconduct was denied. There were counter charges, and a petition for alimony was taken out. The day the case was to have come on before the Master in Cham- bers defendant abandoned the petition, and the matter fell through. Complainant did not ask for a dissolution of the mar- riage. She denied the misconduct, and made counter charges. Defendant paid the 25s. a i week until quite recently. The Stipendiary: The petition was dis- missed, with costs. Mr. Lloyd: Yes, and the taxed costs have not yet been paid. Mr. Harold Lloyd further explained that the last week defendant reduced his weekly instalment from 25s. to 18s., on the ground that Iris eldest son (sup- ported by the mother) was able to earn his own living, which, however, was not the case. Complainant, who now lives at 49, Albert- street, Canton, was then called, and gave the particulars of her case, stating that her husband earned P,3 a week as master of a small trading ship of 29 tons register, trading between Bristol and Bideford. Mr. David (to complainant): You went away in defiance of your husband's orders, and met someone else, and did not intend to return?—I intended to return on the Mon- day. Did Everitt visit you in Cardiff whilst you were here during the week?—Yes; my hus- band gave him my address, and he came to see me. Did you also see him in Bristol ?—No, sir. The husband was called, and swore he earned only 40s. a week, with 3s. a trip extra, amounting to L2 6s. altogether. He also alleged that his wife had run him into an indebtedness of £70 with various tradesmen, which sum he had reduced by small instal- men ts. His Worship made an order of .a week, with costs, the wife to have custody of the children.
CHAPPED HANDSI
CHAPPED HANDS RED, RO-U, GF-, RAW, OR CRACKED SKIN ,I SOOTHED AND HEALED BY ZAM-BUK. j Few women escape the pain and annoyance of chapped hands, and most outdoor people suffer more or 1ft:8. Look to your hands. Perhaps the un- pleasant" feøl" which heralds the dreaded chupp-ed condition is already there. At best, soaly patches will mean worry a,nd disfigure- ment, and there's no telling what cracks about the knaokles will lead to. In wors?? ca.-?s, the skin burns and smarts fiercely, looks quite unsightly in liAS state of red roughness, -nd may crack open into raw, bleeding fu-sures. Putting the hands into water is simply agony. Every movement causes pc-in, and wa-hing, working, or even v/riting, bocome positive wrture. Hands that are suffering from the wintry weather in these ways may be restored to the soundness of health by applications of Za;n- Buk. Thia puro balm should be smeared on at night, and an old paiir of gloves worn until! morning. Zam-Buk exerts a delightful cool- ing and soothing influence, for which sufferers are most grateful. Its rich vegetable i essences s-ink deep into the tissues, soften- ing, purifying, and healing; and—usually in a day or two at mktet-the outer skin of the hands is made soft, wjite, and strong again, able in its perfect health to withstand even frost and snow. Miss D. Knight, of the Cottage, 5, Rushame- road, Horsham, writes: "My hands used to be hard, dry, and very uncomfortable, with awful ohaps as if they had been cut open. I have used all -orts of ordinary ointments but none did them any good. Just recently I began to use Zam-Buk, and found it most satisfactory from the first. After using the balm reguarly fcr a short time, my hands are free from chaps and beautifully soft." The value of Zam-Buk, either as protective or corrective, cannot be over e-timated. A box should always be on the dressing table. e609
TRAMCAR AND MOTOR-CAR I
TRAMCAR AND MOTOR-CAR Collide When Making a Circling Sweep. At Newport County-court on Thursday an action was heard in which Mr. William James i Spurgeon, cycle factor, of Cardiff, and his wife claimed JB73 17s. against the Newport Corporation for personal injuries and damage to a motor-car by reason of its being run down by a tramcar. Mr. St. John Francis-Williams (instructed by Mr. A. F. Hill) appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Corner (instructed by the town-clerk) was for the corporation. The mishap occurred on Bank Holiday, August 6, at 8.30 p.m. Mr. Spurgeon's eix- horse-power motor-car went from the Newport Motor Garage in Commercial-street, and was making a circular sweep to get on its right side of the road to make its journey, when the tramoar collided with it. The off-hind wheel of the motor-oar was carried a.way, and other damage was done. Mrs. Spurgeon was injured. Mr. Arthur Brooks, the foreman at the garage, estimated the speed of the tramcar at sixteen to twenty miles an hour, and a second witness at about fifteen miles an hour. One of the witnesses was asked whether the tramcar driver sounded his gong. His Honour: I don't see that that matters å.t all. I am not bound to get out of the way b-oc-ause a tram driver sounds a gong. It is the King's highway. In the result his Honour found for the plaintiff, and awarded £ 40 damages.
INSURED HER SISTER I
INSURED HER SISTER At Abercarn on Thursday the Royal Liver Friendly Society were summoned by Mrs. Eliza J. Rees, of Abercarn, who claimed jei2 16s. money alleged to be due under an insurance policy, which the complainant took out on the life of her sister. Mr. Matthews (froni the office of Mr. T. S. Edwards, I solicitor, Newport) appeared on behalf of the complainant and Mr. C. D. Lewis, Tredegar, defended. Mrs. Rees insured her sister, Mrs. Sand- grove, on August 21, 1905. On the 25th of August, 1906, the sister died from rapid con- sumption. Dr. Thomas, Newbridge, said that fourteen months -ago he examined the deceased, and then found her to be in good health. The company resisted the claim on the ground of misrepresentation at the time that the insurance form was made out. The Bench, after hearing the case, adjourned it for a fortnight, and expressed the hope that it might be settled.

MISCHIEVOUS BOY AGAINI ----…
MISCHIEVOUS BOY AGAIN I I At Newport County-court on Thursday the adjourned action came on for hearing of the Channel Shipping Company v. R. Gilchrist and Co., and on this occasion a second defen- daint wats added, viz., the South Wales and Liverpool Steamship Compa,ny (Limited). Mr. Parsons (instructed by Messrs. Lyndon Moore ond Cooper) appeared for the plaintiffs; Mr. Sankey (instructed by Messrs. Williams and Co.) was for both defendants. Whilst the plaintiff company's ship Emily waa lying at the Liverpool Wharf, on the west side of the River Usk, the iron bucket from a. crane on the wharf fell upon the deck and caused damage, in respect of which and the demurrage a sum of £ 27 5s. 6d. was claimed. It was admitted that the fall of the bucket was caused by the wrongful act of a tres- passing mischievous boy, who entered the crane-house whilst the crane man was away at his dinner, and set the nia.chinery in motion. His Honour held that there was negligence in leaving the bucket in such a. way that it could fa,ll by a trespasser getting in at an unlocked door and setting the machinery in motion. He gave judgment for £ 10 lis. 6d. in respect of the damage against the South Wales and Liverpool Steamship Company only, with costs; and judgment for Robert I Gilchrist and Co., with costs. He held that no claim for demurrage could be sustained.

ADVfiNTURES OF CAKDIFF I BOYS. I I JOURNEYED TO BRISTOL AND II EXETER. An amusing story of the escapade of two Cardiff lads desirous of seeing something of the world was told at Bristol Polioe-court on Thursday, when Bertie Rowles (10), of 1, Ferndale-street, Grangetown, and Campbell Olifford (11), of 36, Eisteddfod-street, Tem- peranoetown, were brought up charged with wandering. The evidence was that the lads were found after eleven o'clock at night near Bristol Railway Station. wandering a-bout together. When taken into custody Rowles said tha;t they went to school on Wednesday morning, but later in the day he stole £ 2 10s. from his mother's bedroom, and, meeting Clifford, invited him to accompany him to Bristol by train. They bought their tickets, and journeyed to Temple Meads Station. They liked train travelling, so booked on from there to Exeter, where they spent some time in Royal fashion, buying fruit and pastries to regale themselves. Then they came on to Bristo'l, but on arrival found there was no train back to Oardiff for some time, so they wandered down into town to pass the time away, but were arrested by the police. Superintendent Turner said that the parents had been wired for, and had promised to come up by the first train that morning, but had for some reason failed. He asked for a remand pending thei-P appear- ance. This was granted, and the little ohaps, each clad in Muie jerseys, were remanded in custody. t!)ttLJL.

She found a New Lease of Life in the Rich Blood supplied by DR.WILLIAMS' PINK PILLS "I'm always 'on the go' from morning till night," said Mrs. Wright, of 26, Quay-street, Manchester, greatly respected by travellers and theatrical companies as a kindly land- lady.

At the same time I caught a severe cold, and in my weak state it played havoc with my constitution. I suffered from headaches, and the pains across my eyes and forehead were so severe at times that I could 'not lift my head. If I did I became dizzy, and a sickly sensation would overcome m'e. My tongue was thickly coated, and my limbs seemed to drag like lumps of lead. "Going upstairs I became exhausted and breathless long before reaching the top, with sharp stabbing pains in the chest and back. Then I had to stop, panting, until I could re-gain breath. My nerves were completely unstrung; I seemed to have NO CONTROL OVER MY HANDS, and they trembled violently. During long l elecplcss nights my illness preyed upon my mind, and in the morning I felt ml,?i?lilll than at bedtime. I was so terribly weak I could only just crawl out of bed; sometimes it took me hours to dress. I "Things went from bad to worse, and I felt more dead than alive.

I Mine Explosion Sequel S equel • I CASE AGAINST A FIREMAN BREAKS I DOWN At the West Wales Assizes at Carmarthen on Thursday (before Mr. Justice Walton) William Bassett, a colliery fireman from Garnant, surrendered to his bail on a charge of feloniously killing and slaying Thomas Thomas, a miner, on the 8th ol September, in the parish of Bettws. Mr. J. Lloyd Morgan, K.C., M.P., and Mr. W. Llewelyn Williams, M.P. (instructed by Mr. H. G. Phillips, Llandilo, for the Directory of Public Prosecutions), appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Marlay Samson (instructed by Messrs. Andrew and Thompson, solicitors, Swansea) defended. Prisoner pleaded Not guilty." Mr. Lloyd Morgan, in opening the case, said it was alleged that prisoner had failed in the proper discharge of his duty, and that thereby he caused the death of the deceased man. It would appear that on September 8 the deceased and his son went to the Glangarnant Colliery in the morning for the purpose of going on with their work as repairers. They went to the lamp-room, and there saw the prisoner and a man named William Evans, the latter of whom sometimes did part of prisoner's work. It appeared that on that morning that work was done by John Evans, and prisoner was present at the time. Part of the prisoner's duties was to make an examination of the colliery tor the purpose of discovering whether it was in a safe and fit condi- tion to go down. That examination ought to have been made before the shift commenced, and if he had done that he should have filled in a report, and if he found a dangerous condition of things he ought to have reported it to the people who had to work it. There was evidence to show that, although deceased and his son were going to work, he did not say anything to them as to the dangerous condition of the mine owing to the presence of gas, and so those two men assumed that the mine was in a safe state. They proceeded down the colliery until they got to a cross-cut, where the coal was being worked at that time. Branching off from the cross-cut was a place known as Harry Jones's Old Road, which was used as a rubbish store. The deceased man told his son that he was going along Harry Jones's Old Road for the purpose of getting a hatchet, which ne had left there. Shortly afterwards deceased's son and a man named Parker heard an explosion. Although injured themselves, they went in the direc- tion of the noise, and heard the deceased calling out. They took him out of the colliery, and a-bout a fortnig'ht later he died. The prisoner inserted in a book on the day of the explosion: "I, the undersigned, being a person duly appointed for that purpose, hereby declare that I have carefully inspected with a locked safety lamp all the working places of the above-named mine and all the roadways leading thereto, and all working places in which work is temporarily stopped, and that I find the same to be in a condition hereafter stated." Here followed the name of the part of the mine. a state- ment that there was no gas present, that the ventilation was good, that the state of the roof and sides was good, and that the general safety was good. It was dated September 8, 1906, at 6.30 o'clock in the morning, and signed William Bassett." The explosion took place, half an hour later. The prisoner at eleven o'clock told the manager that he 'had never been to Harry Jones's stall at all that day; that he had made no examination of it; and that he thought it was unnecessary to do so, because there were no men working, and the manager told him that he must have known that it was a rubbish stall; that men, in order to get rid of rubbish, had to go along that stall; and that it was his duty to report the state of affairs. David Thomas, Lucknow House, Garnant, son of the deceased, bore out Mr. Lloyd Morgan's statement regarding the explosion. He said he saw no sign put up that Harry Jones's stall 'was unsafe that morning. Mr. Williams: What would you expect to see if it was dangerous?—Witness: Cross- timbering. Mr. Samson: You are not allowed to go to your working place if there is chalk-marking there?—We are not allowed to work. Did you look particularly when you went into Harry Jones's stall whether there was any c,halk-marking aboat?—No, I did not look for it. The Judge: When you got to your working- place was there any gas there?-No, my lord. Was there an accumulation of gas down from your working-place towards the cross-cut" ?-r-i would rather not answer that question. William Morgan, Noyadd-road, Garnant, the manager of the colliery, produced the fire- man's inspection book, which showed that when Bassett inspected the deceased man's working-place at 5.30 he reported it to be free from gas. A small fall had followed the explosion. After the explosion he asked prisoner how he accounted for the accident. Well," he replied, "one of them must have opened his lamp." Subsequently prisoner and a number of other men accompanied witness in making an inspection of the mine. They could smell the after-damp, and could plainly see that some timber had been blown out, and that a tram had been blown five or six yards away by the force of the explosion. Prisoner left them quietly, and shortly after- wards returned and said that he had found Thomas's lamp. Mr. Samson: What do you think caused the ex pk)sion ?-Witness: It must have been an open light. His Lordship: Because there must be gas and there must be a light to cause an explosion ?-There must be gas and light. Mr. Samson: And is it true to say that those safety lamps can be easily opened?— Yes, worse luck. Whatever Bassett did or left undone you are satisfied that without a naked light no explosion 'would have taken, place?—No explosion would have taken place. I His Lordship: In your opinion could the gas have accumulated there after Bassett's visit?—Witness: Yes, it is quite possible. If Bassett had gone there at 5.30, it is quite possible that he could not have found any gas there?—Quite possible. In further cross-examination, witness stated that Bassett had been in the employ of the colliery company about three years, and he could not speak too highly of him as an official. Bassett was always prompt to remove all dangers at the colliery. His Lordship: Is it possible to form an opinion with any degree of certainty that there was an accumulation of gas in this part a.t 5.30 in the morning? Witness: I believe it was quite free from gas at one [ o'clock in the morning, because the night fireman and a haulier visited the place. He could not form an opinion with any degree of certainty. His Lordship at this stage pointed out that before they could return a verdict of guilty in this case there must be evidence of neglect and that that neglect contributed to the accident. What he felt was that there was a deficiency of evidence on the second point. Turning to the jury, his lordship said: I think you cannot upon this evidence find the prisoner guilty. The jury returned a verdict of "Not guilty," and Bass-e-tt was discharged.
A, DANGEROUS CROSSING ATI…
A, DANGEROUS CROSSING AT I ABKRBAKGOED. An inquest was held at Cardiff Town-hall on Thursday by Mr. E. Bernard Eeece, touch- ing the death of Elijah Wilson, collier. The deceased was a native of Staffordshire, and was in lodgings at Aberbargoed. On the morning of Wednesday, November 7, he was crossing the line at Aberbargoed Station to get to the workmen's train, and was knocked down and badly injured. He received bruises all over the body, and the brain was lacerated. The widow, Mrs. Elizabeth Wilson, of Lye, near Stourbridge, gave evidence of identification. John Chance and William Allen, colliers, said that there was no bridge over the line, and no light at the crossing, the spot being dark Albert Williams, Bassalleg, dri.ver, said he wa.s not sure whether there was a light or not, but the place was dark. Charles Kinnereley, guard, gave contrary evidence, fraying that he was certain there was a light opposite the crossing. Dr. West, Cardiff Infirmary, said that when deceased was brought to that institu- tion on November 7 there was an extensive bruise on the right side of the face and bruis-es all over the body. The right leg was lacerated and a portion of the calf torn away, as if the wheels of the train had passed over the calf, but there was no frac- ture. The jury returned a verdict of Acciden- tal death," and expressed the opinion that the crossing was dangerous and not properly lighted. Inspector William Sparks was present on behalf of the Brecon and Merthyr Railway Company, and Mr. livan Thomas, Miners' Federation, on behalf of the relatives.

BILIOUS EVERY WEEK.
BILIOUS EVERY WEEK. Miss A. G. COOK. Cambridge. I SEVEN YEARS' CONSTANT SUF- FERING ENDED BY BILE BEANS. I I d., dl' of Indigestion and biliousness are often aggravated and possibly caused by the i chilling, ohangeaiMe weather. Bile Beans are a truily seasonable medicine. Never seen you looking better," was the greeting accorded by parents, relatives, and friends alike to Miss Alice Gertrude Cook, a young domestic servant, living at 85, Mawson- road, Cambridge, when she visited her home j for her holidays this summer. But. there is j a, reason for her healthy appearance, and ) Bile Beans supply it. Mise Cook told a "Cambridge Independent Press" reporter J that Slhe. had suffered from bad bilious j attacks ever since she left school, some seven ) yeajB ago. I used to have one almost every | week," she said, and never a fortnight passed without one. On thiese occasions I suffered from very severe headaches, and I became so bad that I could do nothing but lie down the wlhole day long. I consulted chemists and tried many medio mas, but niotlhing did me any lasting good until I took Bile Beans. I had seen this remedy advertised, and as several of my frienda recommended Bile Beans from personal experience I obtain.ed t), box and commenced taking them right away. There was an almost immediate im- provement in my condition, eo I continued to take Bile Beans, and I was quickly re- stored to health again. Three or four months have elapsed since I first took Bile Beans, and during that time I have not experienoed a single bad attack of biliousness. My cure is solely due to Bile Beans, a.nd I shall lose no opportunity of recommending them." This is frank, honest testimony, and is typical of the ma.ny stories told daily purely out of gratitude for the great benefite derived from Bile Beans. It is wholly because of their natural composition that Bile Beans always restore the smooth working of Nature's disordered processes of digestion and assimilation, as no other medicine can. Avoid all old-fashioned remedies that con- ta,in minerals or other equally drastic drugs. Trust to Bile Beans, and health and cheer- fulness are assured. Bile Beans for Biliousness may be obtained of all chemists in sealed boxes only at ls. lid. or 2s. 9d. (2s. 9d. size contains three times as many Bile Beans as the ls. lid. size).

CARDIFF PROSECUTOR ABSENT.
CARDIFF PROSECUTOR ABSENT. Nancy Vey, the young and well-dressed wife of a Cardiff boarding-house-keeper, was charged at the police-court on Thursday with stealing a silver lever watch, value L2 10s., from the person of Henry Stanton, in Edwards-t-errace, on November 14. The pro- secutor was not in attendance. Mr. Harold Lloyd defended the prisoner. The police, in the circumstances, applied for a, remand until Tuesday. Mr. Harold Lloyd raised no objection to the remand, but said if there was a remand he should certainly apply for bail. Prose- cutor had made a charge under discreditable circumstances—a charge which his client had instructed him (Mr. Harold Lloyd) to emphatically deny. At the same time, the prosecutor, having made the charge, had not the courage to be there, although he had been summoned to attend Why, therefore, should the woman be kept in custody through no fault of hers? The Magistrates (Messrs. J. Andrews and F. j H. Lambert) accepted bail for prisoner's appearance on Tuesday, the woman herself < in L5 and one surety in a similar om-nt.
THE TRADE DISPUTES BILLI
THE TRADE DISPUTES BILL I Mr. Keir Hardie, M.P., writing in the Labour Leader," under the heading of The Bill, the Whole Bill, and Nothing But the Bill," says:—"I don't suppose the inner history of the Trade Disputes Bill will ever be written. If it were it would form a curiously interesting and instructive chapter of Parliamentary history. The Bill is a triumph for the policy of independence. The fact of its being the Bill of the Labour party robbed it of that element of contention which attaches to all Government meaeurea, I and made it possible for Mr. Balfour to speak in the way he did on Friday. Further, I believe the same fact will smooth its pas- I sage through the House of Lords."

It is not the coldest weather that is most prolific of bronchitis, pleurisy, pneumonia, Jk coughs, colds, and sore throats. Far more dangerous to health are the changeable days of late Autumn, warm and humid one day. wet, chilly, and foggy the next. HBH There is no better safeguard under the prevailing weather conditions than a box of PEPS. A few little PEPS crushed in the mouth, or merely dissolved on the tongue, provide a timely tonic and antiseptic for the throat, lungs, and chest.
