To-day's Short Story. VALERIE AND THE ViCOMTEj The young Vicomte de la Sa.inte Caeur was horribly bored. All the morning throug'h he had lounged in the dim old library. Poor Racul, he felt himself much to be pitied, in this his self-imposed exile at his aunt's chateau, but certain preening credit-ora had i BeceEsitated a haete, not to say a somewhat undignified retreat, from the festivities of the court to the Chateau de St. Jean in the heart of Brittany. At twenty-two he had started for Paris to take up his commission. He ha-d plunged into all the follies of the dissipated capixai, and now, four years afterwards, he had come back to obtain, his aunt's assistance in repairing his shattered fortunes. He had arrived at the chateau the previous evemiag, and hi3 reception had been anything bu,t cordial, and all this morn.ing he had awaited an audience with his mTMh-on'ended Liela?r?ve, who at last &ent h?m word that she desired has presence at dinrier at four o'clock. In the an te-ohamber of the traJon he heard a patter of high-heeled shoes, a frou-frou of talkon. skirts, and turns from his contempla- tion of the dreary court-yard to encounter sorely the daintiest little wjutmg-maid that ever carried a dish. Raoul it; seized with a sudden mad impulse. Quick as thought he springs from the window and places himself before the door of the salon in such a manner as to effectually bar all further progress of the pretty maid. She stands irresolute, then glancing timidly at the handsome mocking face before her: "Will you permit me to pass, monsieur? 3tme. le Marquise is waiting for me." let madame ait"; then, seeing a look of genuine distress on the lovely face, "Come, my fair prisoner, on one condition will I let you pass. Let me but kiss those tempting lflpe. Let me She oould offer no resistance, embarrassed; as she was. with the tureen, and before she quite realised the fact the audacious young noble fcad claimed his toll and actually kissed her; then, throwing open the door, stood aside, bowing to her as deeply as he would to his aunt herself. One flash of the hazel eyes, and he heard ber mutwrr beneath her breath, "Some day. my fine yicomte, I will make you pay for this." And the pretty wadtiag- maid passed into the marquise's presence, fol- lowed closely by the ecapegrace Saotrl. Needless to say, he won the old lady's full forgiveness before he had been five minutes at dinner. Ten years after. Gooe is the Car court, and in its stead reigns a red-mppe-d 1,-T=.: whoee motto, indeed, is "Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity," and whose argument is Chiefly the guillotine. Citizen Danton sits in 1ais room busily writing. A m-embar of the Nationol Gnard enters the room. Dauton. looks up sharply. "Wiat is it, citizen?" "The Cit" zeness Valerie wishes to we yon." "Let the citi&eness enter," he says gruffly enough, but, beTids quickly over his writing, that the man may not see the rare pleasure !her coming gives him. "To what lucky accident may I ascribe the visit of the adorable ortiaenese?" he says, in the florid language so much in rogue. The "adorable citizeness," a lovely woman of twenty-seven, who well merits the title "adorable," e-hrugs her shoulders and laughs. "Still as complimentary as ever, cit'zea. Well, I will not waste your time in unneces- sary guessing; I have oome to beg a favour." "Which is granted already, lovely one." "Take care. citizen, I aha-11 keep you to your word." Then, the careiees gaiety d's- a.pfpeariiLg from her mobile features, "You have on your list of 'suspects' the name of one Raoul, autrefois Vioomte de la Sainte Coeur—you must give him to me," this latter with a pretty air cf command. He glanced keenly at the fair petitioner. She caught the glance and understood it per. fectly. "Have no fear, citizen. It is but to re-pay a long-cherished vengeance, of which hie death will deprive me, that I beg his life." What would you have me to do, oiti- zeness?" "Strike out his name from the liiBt-eeoo an order for his rele. together with a private note telling at whose int4eT i?D-a he baa b?en released. He will, no doubt, come to thank you to-morr >w, and then—ah! then we shall see," and her briUiant. hazel eyes flashed with an ominous light that bodes ill for the unlucky vicomte. An odd smile curled the li-pa of the beauti- ful woman ae she rose to make her adieu. Who was the Ci tizen ess Valerie! The Oiti- zenesa Valerie was a beautiful actress whom, all Paris raved about, and whose beauty and sparkling wit drew crowds to the theatre, in spite of tile grim terror reigning supreme. No one know anything about her; no one ever heard of her until two years ago she had risen suddenly on the dramatic horizon, a star of the first magnitude. Raoul, ci-devant Vioomte de la Sainte iCoeur could hardly credit his good fortune. He had ag'd considerably since, ten years ago, he sought refuge in the old Chateau de Jean. Was it only ten? To Raoul it peemed TMgh a hundred. Somehow, as he walked elorwly in the direction of the Ottisseness Valerie's house, his thoughts dwell on that vis4t some ten years ago. The servant conducts him to a soua apartrtient furnished with all the ertrava- fences of the period, and informs him that the cH.izeness. will receive him without delay. The door opens, and he goes forward to ireet the Oiti*eiw;ss Valerie, who enters. Clad in. a pale pi'nik gown of some soft chnging material, &he looks her loveliest to- day, but Raoul starts back, for surely thœe hazel eyes ai»d that soft brown hair a.re the same which have 90 cnen hauut?cd his I dreams. She sees his start, and smiles. "l fear I have disturbed your meditations, monsieur." She drops the Republican "citi- son" in speaking to this aristocrat. I hë"ve been so long exited io L-avendee that tlie glory of the goddess of Paris some- what dazz'ed me," he sead, bowing low over Ze white hand she holds out to hum. "No more thanks, monsieur; I take you at four word, and enrol you as my slave for tver. Is it not so?" "No more fa.ir mistress ever owned a more wiHin«g slave," he responds eagerly, for this woman has set his heart beating and his pulse dancing as no one has ever done before. "One boon only I omve," he continues. "jLthat is the name of the fair lady I serve." For an inetant a shade passes over the face 01 the actress, but only for an instant. With a gay laugh she says, "I am the Countess Valerie to all now. Once long ago I was then noticing his eager anriety, she inter- rupts herself, and cries gaily, "Come. mon- ctbeoxy I want your help in a little comedy I am refbearsing. Perhaips after that is given, I will tell you who I once was," and she adds in a lower tone, as if addrmoinz herself, "if you will not already have romemrbered tt." 9be laugfbs an odd little laugh, which has a «w>g of mockery in its tomes. The soene of the ooanedy is laid in. an old chateau, the time ten years ago, the drama- to peraoofB—weU. fcr?oMM?N?noe. we wilL mth jian awd ?? Jk Raoul felt his heart beat with a strange sense of expectancy. "You will have no need to change your character," she goes on. "You are a young noble on a short visit to the chateau and bored to death with dullness. I, well-a.-n a ra,iting-maid-or, perhaps I should say, a young friend of the old marquiæ-did I tell you the chateau belonged to an old mar- quise?—who, out of sheer ennui, mas- queraded as her waiting-maid, her name— let us say her name is Valerie le Glerc, though, perhaps, thename makes no great difference. Let us suppose This corner of the room to be the ante-chamber to rnadame's salon. Enter the young noble." "Yes," he says, "I know this scene—enter myself, and shortly afterwards enter the so-called waiting maid with a tureen in her hands, so, madame," catching up a piece of porcelain from a neighbouring table and placing it in Valerie's hands. Then, throwing himself before the door, with all his old easy grace, he looks at her with the fire of a fierce new-awakened love burning in his eyes. Slowly a. ripple of laughter breaks from her as she raises her hazel eyes to his brown ones.. i> "Well, monsieur, as you know this comedy so well, what then?" What does Raoul see in their changeful depths that, heedless of the delicate porce- lain s'he hoids, he spriiiigs forward and catches I her in his arms, fcrgetfitl of a.ll that has passed in these ten years, kisses ner no once, but again and again. Valerie does not seem displeased at such a proceeding, nor does she gec-k to free herself from the prison of his strong embrace. Only a. few minutes afterwards, sthe says: "A,h, M. Ie Vicomte de la Sainte Ooeur, ten years ago I told you I wotrld be revenged. I have made your noble self fall in love with the actreas. the dtizenees Valerie. I have given you tit for tat." "You have made me fall in love with the nobleet woman this earth possesses," he says passionately, and Va.)eT?e is &ilent. for at az her reven?a is complete..

I For Women Folk I HOMELY MINTS AND DAINTY DISHES 11 Rico for curry should be boiled quickly for twenty minutes i.n plenty of water and a little salt, then drain in colander and placed before ftre to dry. covered with clean cloth. To renovate a silk hat hold the hat under the cold tap. Sponge well until thoroughly wet. Take the sponge just damp, gedltly smooth the way of the pile, and leave to dry. It will need no ironing. Scotch Broth Two pounds flank or top ribs of beef, two and a half quarts of water, salt, pepper; boil for one hooir. Add one carrot grated, two turnips quartered, two leeks cut in slices, one groali savoy cabbage chopped small, two potatoes cut into small squares. Boil another hour. I Sweet Omelette S-eparate the whites of two eggs, beat up on plate with knife, beat yolks i;r¡, basin with deee-ertspoonful of caster sugar; mix all together; put a pieoe of butter in small fryimg-paji, and when hot, pour in the egga. Pla,oe e-n fire, lot it r i &F, Place on fire, let it rise, then raise round pan with knife; when nioely brown warm table- spoonful jam, put on omelette, fold over and serve. I Cure of Neuralgia Put half a draohm of sal-ammoniac in an ounce of camphor-water. Take a teaspoonful at a dose, and repeat the dose several times at intervals if the pain be not relieved at onoe. This ie a sure cure. Or get an ordi- na.ry brick, place in the oven to get hot, and put a handful of feathers on the hot brick. Then wrap a flannel round it, and place it on the pillow. Lay the face on it, and this will relieve the sufferer of all the pain.

I Passing Pleasantries Now. Alfred," said a magging" wife, every night when I am at home you go to that hateful club, and yet when I fftay away for a. few days you write me that you have spent every evening at home. What is the meaning of it?" The meaning of it, love, you have just I given!" answered her spouse calmly. Two men, hitherto strangers to each other, were discussing the tariff question while I journeying by railway to the North. One of them showed a thorough familiarity with the subject. I beg your pardon," said th<e other, but surely yon must be a manufac- turer. Are you not?" Well," was the reply, in a sort of way perhaps I am-I am a journalist!" NOT A FLATTERER. I Now, Mr. Short," said a yotmg lady who | had just conoluded the vocal murder of several modern ballads, you must tell me what kind of songs you really like best." "Humph," retorted Short, a confirmed misogynist, the songs of the seventeenth oentury." "Dear me!" exclaimed the lady, "what- ever makes you prefer thoee?" was the grim rejoinder. nobody sings 'em nowadays!" I THE JUDICIAL AGE. I Mrs. Weldon, wh" a f.ew years ago was & familiar figure in HM law courts, where she appeared ?n pursuit of hex own cause, wa? onoe endeavouring, in the Court of Appeal, to upset a judgment of Vice-Cbameello-r j Bacon, and one ground of complaint was that the judge was too old to understand the I case Thereupon Lord Esher said, The I Mt time you were here you complained that your case had been tried by my brother I Bowen, and you said he was only a bit of a boy, and oould not do you justice. Now you oome here and say that my brother Bacon is too old. What age do you want the judge to be?" Yrur age!" promptly replied MM. Weldon, fixinc her bright eyes on the hand- some countenance of the Master of the Rolls.

£ 80,000 Blaze. I GREAT FIRE IN GLASGOW Early this morning anotiier big flre took place in Glasgow. A man passing along North WalLaoe-street saw liamee shoot out of the wool store cf Messrs. Gumming and SmitJi, wholesale ttP'holstery furnishere, and immediately raised an alarm. The building was of four storeys, and from the first it ap.poa.red to be doomed. The wool store and other parts of the warehouse were soon one burning maes, and buildings with a frontage to Baard-street and Kyle-street, were also attacked. These were occupied by Messrs.

"MARRIED IN HASTE" I I Bookmaker's Law Suit A STRANGE STORY I Mr. James R. Roosevelt, jun., who has Bup- plied America with more than one social sensation, is -now appearing as defendant in a guit brought by Mr. John Bailer, a book- maker, for the alleged alienation, as it is I called in America, of his wife's affections. The bookmaker (say3 the Daily Telegraph") I swears that Mr. Roosevelt has stolen his I brid-o of three weeks, and he wants £ 10,COO damages. Defendant, who is 28 years of age, is a cousin of President Roosevelt, and his father, who died three tvc,i-s ago, was a millionaire. It is one of the penalties of the Presidency of this great country that every member of the White House family, even to the remotest relationship, lives very much in the public eye, and for that reason the defendant in the present case is enjoying, or suffering, an I Amount of Publicity just now altogether out of proportion to the merits of th-e case. It is true, however, that young Roosevelt's marriage to a music-hall dancer, known as Dutch Sadie," shocked New York's Four Hundred," which is the usual way of desoribing this capital's "upper ten." amd his father threatened to disinherit him, but he relented, and James Roosevelt received more than £ 100,000, besides which he has an annuity left by his mother of £ 3,000. .Ni t,. iiailer's marriage was admittedly very sudidien. He attended a dance given by the "Jolly Tliree" at tbe Jug and Pitcher Casino in New York three days before Christmas, became enamoured of MJss Harriett Moser, a bewitching I Brunette of Nineteen took the lady and her sister home at davrn next morning, and on Christmas morning, before breakfast, he proposed. "All right," said the bewitching brunette; "why not to- day?" So they went to a neighbouring notary, and were wedded with American promptitude. On the very day after our marria.ge," says Mr. Bailer, my wife came to breakfast weighed down with diamonds which, she said, had been given her by Jimmy Williams, who, she saicT, was richer than Rockefeller." Mr. Bailer explains that Jimmy Williams was Jimmy Roosevelt, and on New Year's Day, he alleges, Jimmy Rco&evelt Took Her Away I The bookmaker says he went to the defen- dant's wife to complain. "When I told her Jimmy had run away with my wife she said she wasn't eu bit surprised. She said Miss Moser called on her a. few months ago and made a scene. Miss Moser told her that she wanted Jimmy for herself. I didn't do a thing but throw her out," said Mrs. Roosevelt. Mr. Bailer says he has not seoo his wife since January 3, when he saw her riding in James Rooeevelt's red automobile, and very well she looked." Young Mr. Roosevelt was visited yesterday by a representative of the New York World," but he refused to discucs the matter, beyond saying, It's all a pack of lies. All the stories about my wife and me are untrue."

1£150 Left in the Train I CAERAU MAN'S SERIOUS LOSS .1 Mr. J. Phillips, Bla.en Llynft Hotel, Caerau, went to the Metropolitan Bank, Maesteg, yesterday afternoon to dra.w £ 150. He put the money in a handbag, and went by train to Caerau, and left the bag on tho seat. He had a friend with him. There was only one passenger in the compartment with them, a. young man about eighteen to twenty years of age. Mr. Phillips and his friend reached home, and when they went to the house asked each other for the bag, when they found that they had left it in the train. Upon returning to the station they learnt that the train had been to Abergwynfl amd back, and ou wiring to Crmmear and Aber- gwynfi it was found that no one had seen the bag, and there was no trace of it. The matter wae reported to the police, but they had no clue up to this morning. It is believed the young man in the com- partment went to Treherbert.

I AMERICA'S PROSPERITY I I High Wages; Plenty of Work I I The year which has just closed has been the most sensationally prosperous in the history of Amcrica, end there is a prospect of further record prosperity. Furnaces are in full blast, factories are working overtime to prevent supply falling further behind the demand, building is carried on incessantly, and farmers are lay- ing down new acreage for crops of corn and cotton. The clearings of the banks of the country, of whioh there are about 20,000, give a.n increase of 11 per cent, over 1905, the year of the previous highest record. The savings banks have shared in this advance, but the small capitalist has found more inducement to invest his surplus cash in real estate and house ownership. The wage earner is receiving a notable increase in wages, substantial advances having been made voluntarily in many cases, and readily conceded in others by mutual agreement between employers and employed. The pay roll for railroad men alone in the past year reached a total of EZOO,000,000, exceeding that of 1905 by £ 20,000,000. Of this last sum it is estimated that £ 12,000,000 was paid to additional hands required to perform the work of moving the vast and growing internal commerce of the country.

I Hit Wife with Poker. I ————*———— I MERTHYR MAN'S SUDDEN FURY A sad affair bordering close upon a terrible tragedy, occurred last night at Merthyr. Whilst Mrs. Evans, of 17, Gwaelodygarth, was kneeling down washing the floor of her house her husabnd, who for some time past had been suffering from dementia, struck her on the back of the head with a poker, inflioting a wound, which, though severe, was, fortunately, not very dangerous. I The woman ran into the house of a next- door neighbour, but her assailant made no attempt to follow her, and she, therefore, escaped T. ithou" sustaining any further injury. I'olice-ccnstable Thomas, of Penyard, was called, and he took charge of the man, who Has afterwards seen by Dr. Biddle, his medical attendant, by whose direction he was convened to the workhouse infirmary. Mr. Evan3 was formerly an innkeeper, car- rying on business at the COllrt Arms, Merthyr.

INCORRIGIBLE CARDIFF BOY Cyril Webb, fourteen, and David John Monta-gue. 26, were changed at Cardiff Police- court to-day with stealing 30s. in silver and two mo-tibi erg-ana fi-om the shop of Mr. Frederick Norman, King's-road. The principal witness was Detective Victor Kellott, who said lVe"b admitted taking the monoy from behind the counter, but he pro- tested that Monta,gue took it from him and gave him back a shilling and kept the rest, and then thety went to the world's fair on The Hayes. Mon- tague stated that, meeting Wc-bb in Cowbridige-road, they walked aa far as King's-road, where Cyril disappeared, and on his return Montaigne heard money rattl- ing in his pocket. There was a doubt as to the older pri- soner's culpability, and he was discharged. Webb had been in trouble once before. His mother said he was incorrigible. The magistrates ord-exed him to be de- tained in a reformatory until he attal-na the age of nineteen. I NO CATCH An angling competition for 15 at Lowestoft attracted 104 competitors, but no fish. The utmost that any of t,he anglers could boaet of after four hours was a bite, and he was not allowed to weigh it in."

Halt, Young Lady." WHY THE MISTRESS WEPT. I An Amusing Wages Case An amusing case was heard yesterday at Greenwich County-court, Annie Oorsan, domestic servant, of Catiord, suing her mis- tress, Mrs. Sutton, of Forest-hill, for 30s., wages in lieu of notice. In cross-examination, plaintiff denied that she called her mistress a liar. She said she told her that she told stories, whereupon her mistress took her by the shoulders and marched her out of the house." Her mis- tress cried at the time. Judge Willis: What for? Good heavens! Plaintiff: Because I was leaving. (Laugh- ter.) Plaintiff added that ber mistress atths time made as much noise as cats on the tiles, and she also went into hysterics. (Loud laughter.) His Honour: What! Witntss: You know! Hysterics. His Honour: I don't know. Look here, young lady, I want you to be happy in the future. Plaintiff: Oh, don't trouble about me, sir, I'm perfectly happy. (More laughter.) Plaintiff admitted that when she left she told her mistress that if she did not have I her money By Fair Means she would by foul. The Judge: You said that? Witness: Yes, why not? The Judge: Don't ask me. Defendant said she discharged plaintiff as she was disobedient and insolent, and called witness a liar. Plaintiff: Oh, dear, what a. —— His Honour: Halt, young lady! (Laugh- ter.) Defendant denied that she dismissed plain- tiff. Plaintiff: You are telling a, pack of stories. Did you not take me by the shouldere? Oh! you wicked woman! I have kissed the Book, a.nd I a-m telling the truth. His Honour: Did you have the same little twinkle in your eye as you have now when you left? PIa-intiff- I don't know, but what I am say- ing is the truth. A witness for the defendaint, said that plaintiff -cleared the supper table one night with a large red boa round her neck. Another witness said she heard plaintiff call her mistress a. liar. Plaintiff: Oh, you downright wicked cxea, ture, you'll never prosper! His Honour found for the defendant, with costs.
