To-day's Short Story. I
To-day's Short Story. I A SOUL ADRIFT. I I was alone at midnight pacing the upper deck of the steamship Cleopatra. Suddenly I started from my reverie, with a strange feeling that someone was standing behind me, and on turning round I saw the figure of a man on the opposite side of the deck. "Who is that?" I called out. The man, who was standing in the shadow of the mizzen mast, moved slightly, but did not speak, amd I was about to repeat my ques- tion when the- swing of the ship brought him into the full glare of the moon, and to my lffi- utterable astonishment I recognised the features of an old friend and former brother officer, Conway, who, when I last heard from him, was in South Africa. "Why, Conway old fellow," I exclaimed, going toward him and extending my hand, "whre on earth did you spring from? You are abut the last person I should have expected I stopped abruptly, for there ¡ was something about nim so strange and weird that I felt a cold shiver run down my back. He didn't look real. "Before you come near me," he said, and his voice, though otherwise familiar, sounded weak and far away, "I want to tell you something about myself. But are we secure from interruption?'' "Quite," I replied, "for at least two hours, but come aft here and sit down." He glided noiselessly towards me, and again I felt a cold tremor run through me, for his footsteps made no sound, and his appearance was misty and unsubstantial. He remained standing near the binnacle, and I aat down on the stern gratings. Old fellow," I said, after a. pause, you will forgive me for asking the question, but has anything happened to you? You seem so-so--different to your old self "Something has happened to me," he re- plied sadly, "something so strange, so awful, that you will scarcely credit it. Listen, and I will ten you my story. Two years ago, as you know, I wemt out to South Africa to tny my luck at the gold- fields and while staying at Delagoa. Bay I met Sinclair, an old schoolfellow, and we agreed to go up country ther. After making all necessary arrangements, we started, a.nd for months wandered about the country, with the same rerult- heavy toil and no gold. "At last, weary with incessant tramping over the inhospitable plains, we settled down in what looked like a promising gully, in the heart of a range of mountains, whose name even we did not know, and once more we commenced. "Luck was with us this time, and the rich earth yielded up its treasure to us bounti- fully. We were enabled to live well, too, for game wail abundant, and we began too, regard ourselves as a pair of the most for- tunate diggers in South Africa. "I think that during the time we were there we only saw a human being, and t'hat was a wandering Zulu, who paid us a visit one day shortly before Sinclair's death. Poor Jack sickened of the fever, and died in my arms. I buried him beneath the shadow of a solitary rook, and the cross I carved upon it marks his last resting-plaoe. I was alone. The desolation of the place was something awful at first, but I did not dare to leave the claim then; in the first place, because I did not like the idea. of travelling through that wild country alone, and, secondly, I did not want to leave the gold unguarded, although we had hidden it away in a tolerably safe place. "However, after a time I got used to the loneliness, began to like it, in fact; for when. my day's work was done I used to lie down outside my hot and build castles in the air, dreaming of the happiness that was in store for me when I should return to England to claim the hand of the girl I loved, who was waiting for me there. And at times my thoughts took strange turns, and weird fancies came into my head. "I would remain in these dream-like trances sometimes for hoars, and come to myøelf to and the moon had risen and the camp fire nearly burned out. One evening the strange idea came into my head that by a supreme effort of will I might free my soul for a short space from its earthly tenement—my body; free it, I mean, without actually taking my life. I should then be at liberty to wander where I chose, and could return and take pos- session of my physical form at any time I wished to. "At last, one fatal evening, I tried the dreadful experiment. Concentrating all my will power on this one object, I succeeded in setting my soul free after an inward struggle, the intensity of which prostrated my bodily strength for days after. I found myself standing by the side of a body which I recog- nised as my own; I was looking down upon the human seanblance of myælf-my earthly home, if I may so express it—stretched out upon the ground, to all appearances dead. I was too startled to wander away then, but returned to my natural form at once, though it was fully an hour before I recovered sufficient strength to enable me to move. I let a week go by before I repeated the experi- ment, for I feared that df I taxed my physical frame too much it might die of exhaustion. But on the second attempt I found the task easier, until at last I was able to free myself almost without an effort. "On these occasions I used to winder to distant parts of the ccmtntry, for being in- corporeal, unbodied, I could move almost with the quickness of thought. The strange- new of the senaataoa of being a-bie to float through space was off after a time, though the power I poseenged of 80 doing had an arwful fascination in it which I seemed tunable to resist, and I remained away longer a;nd kvnger each time. I must tell you that before taking these Billy flights I used to fasten myself up in my hut in order that my body should be secure during the time I was absent from it. I was in such a lonely part of the country that even prodaaory wild beasts were scarce, amd I did not apprehend danger from any other source. You may judge of my horror, then, when, on returning from one of my wander- ings. I discovered that my oabin was burnt to the ground, and that my body—the physical tenement without which I cannot take my place among my fellow men—was a. char-red and useless mass of ashffi! I was a soul adrift on earth without any earthly habitation, for I was not dead, ae, although ukybody was consumed, it con- tained no soul woon it perished; it was simply the burning of an image. Consequently. I still belong to earth, for I am still alive, for the body is merely a temporary abiding place for the soul during its brief sojourn in this world. "But what am I to do?" said Oonway, appealing to me, and clasping his hands with a gesture of despair; "all those that I love mourn me as dead, and of what use would it be for me to umieceive them. Am I doomed to wander for ever on this earth because I was absent from my bodily tenement when tt was destroyed.? I cannot, if I wished, put an end to my existence in too way that an ordinary human being might take, for it is only the body that dies; you cannot kill the soul!" Poor Oonway, his fate is a weird one, and the riddle of his existence, or non-existence, is still unsolved.
THE AMPLE PROPORTION.
THE AMPLE PROPORTION. Quite frequently one may out right through the mmdae of a lmf (yf ourraalt btead and discover only two or three solitary looking currants. In puddings and in currant bread there is one famous rule-the role of the "generous sprinkling." Every clever housewife, anxious to foster in her family the love for this remarkably nutritious and appetising fruit, learns to gowrn her hand so as never to fall abort of the ample proportion. e3154

A Splash and a Cry.I -————-…
A Splash and a Cry. I -——  ——- < LOVERS QUARREL ON A TOW PATH I William Albert Stagg, seventeen, of Bother- hithe, was charged on remand at Greenwich to-day with attempting to murder his sweet- heart, Jenny Hill, by throwing her into the Grand Surrey Ganal at liotherhithe. The girl said she had kept company with the prisoner for nine months, and on the night of March 25 met him in Rotherhithe New-road. He went up to her, saying, "What game are you having?" She said she did not know what he meant, and he then asked her why she was not there at eight o'clock. She did not reply. They walked to the end of Luxford-street together, and proceeded on. When she saw the water, she said, "I don't think it matters to-night." He said, "You're not going to make me a fool." When they got down to the water, she said, "If I go you go too." He caught hold of her round the waist, and she told him she hated I him, and screamed. Prisoner then threw her into the canal. He only took her down to the water to frighten her, and she did not think he meant to throw her in, only for her remark that she hated him. They were jealous one of the other. She remembered no more until she was being taken to Paradise-street Police-station. Then she was taken home. Cross-examined: They were both bad-tem- pered. She ha.d written to the prisoner since he had been in gaol, saying she loved him still, and hoped that nothing serious would come of the case. Polioe-oonstable Scott said he was patrol- ling the towing-path of the canal at 11.5 p.m., and heard a splash, and someone cry "Oh!" A man ran away from the spot. He seized a lifebuoy, but could see no one in the water. A man on Plough Bridge cried, "There she is. in the middle," and witness dived in and brought the girl out. Two men aesist.ed to get witness from the water, and they also helped to bring the girl round by means of artificial respiration. The girl was six or seven yards from the edge of the canal when he got her out. She was in the water about two minutes, and came round in about six minutes. She was unconscious when he brought her out. Sydney Adams stated that he was told someone was in the canal, and saw some splashing in the water. He ran down from the bridge, and saw the constable jump into the water. Dr. Goldsborough said he happened to be in the police-station when the girl was taken in. She was drenched with water and shiver- ing. He sent her home, and had since attended her. She was now perfectly well. Mr. Baggallay committed the prisoner for trial at the Central Criminal Court, but agreed to accept bail—two sureties in L20 each.

Rub the gridiron with dhalk, place it high over a clean fire, and turn the fish often until it is a, fine brown colour. Turn it with care. Serve with shrim-p or lobster sauce. Fried Sole Waah, dry, and fillet the sole carefully. There should be four fillets, two from each side of the fish. Cut each rato two length- ways. Next make eight tiny wooden skewers out of matches. Then take a strip of fish and curl it around. When that is done dip them in a little flour, to which you have added a seasoning of salt and pepper. Next beat up oae egig, brush, each roll of flslh with some of it, and cover with breadcrumbs. Have ready a pan of frying fat. When a bluish amoike rioes from it, put in two of the rings of fish and fry them a golden brown. Drain them on kitchen paper. When all a.re fried ar- range them in a circle on a hot disfh; put some fried parsley in the centre and siloes of cut lemon round the edge.
Passing PleasantriesI
Passing Pleasantries I "Are we alone?" asked one of the villains of the piece of his brother conspirator. No, guv'nor," came a voice from the gallery, "but you will be to-morrow night!" Dresses and hats! Dresses and hats!" a man exclaimed in an effort to be wittily philosophical. "It is the eternal feminine!" No," corrected a friend, you're not right —it is the external feminine!" I want it understood," said a wife to her husband, that I am a woman of few words." "Yes, I know," replied the husband, but don't you think you are overworking them a trifle?" How many voices are there in your choir?" I I Seven. Why, your brother told me there were over twenty members!" So there are; but you asked me how many 'voices' there were!" For three weeks a husband had borne all the horrora of spring-cleaning without mur- mur. Then his patience gave way and he became violent in his language. Ah, this is dreadful!" said his wife sobbingly. "You used to tell me I was your queen." Yes," rejoined her spouse, but when a man finds that his queen has used his best tobacco-jar for pale-oak varnish and his meerschaum-pipe for a tack-hammer he begins to grasp the ad-vantages of a Republic!" "The manager of a bank once tried to snub a journalistic friend of mine," said Richard Harding Davis. The bank had suffered severely through a defalcation, and my colleague went to interview its head. But its head was cruety. He refused to oe interviewed. He took the reporter by the arm and led him towards the door. Young man,, he said. I always make it a rule to mind my own business." Were you doing i that when the defaulter levanted with tho I hank's money?' was the response." =
IHOLIDAY COUGHS AND COLDSI
HOLIDAY COUGHS AND COLDS I DON'T FORGET THAT HANDY BOX OF PEPS. Nothing spoils the pleasure of holiday- making so completely as a nasty persistent throat and chest cough, or a heavy cold on the clikst or in the head. But a handy box of that unique discovery, Peps, is a. sure and pleasant cure for the most obstinate cough or the worst cold. Easter is the most welcome of all the holi- days, coming at the end of a long and dreary winter's toil; but it is also the most risky of all the holidays from a health standpoint, for the fickle weather of early Spring induces the constant fear of catching cold or some chest trouble. Keeps Peps always handy; take them at frequent intervals during the day, and you will be a stranger to that old throat or chest trouble, which often makes its appearance at this season. As Peps contain no narcotics and dangerous drugs, they are equally safe and certain for the deep chest coughs which worry the aged, as for the exhausting and distressing cough which troubles the chil- dren. Pops suit aU ages, and, in an alto- gether unique manner, bring the pure heal- ing breath of the rich pine-foreets to every home. Of all chemists at 1/1J or 2/9 per box. Every box bears the registered name—Peps—on the lid. Beware of worthless substitutes. See the registered name Peps on every box; I without this, none is genuine. e2719

" Mourning Cards." I
Mourning Cards." I WBY TK0R SALE WAS STOPPED AT CAKDITF A Swansea contemporary publishes an article in which it strongly protested against the action, as it viewed it. of the Cardiff Football Club Committee and the Cardiff police in stopping the sale of mourning cards on the Cardiff Arms Park. It quoted another paper as saying that the police, acting on instructions, confiscated a large number (of mourning cards') on the occa- Blon of the Irish and Swansea. matches," and questioned the right of the police to make any such confiscation. However, as will be gathered from the following statements, our contemporary appears to be under a mis- apprehension, though it is still a little carious that a Swansea paper should com- plain of a day when it was a Swansea defeat that was being mourned." A representative of the Evening Express" called upon the head-constable and on Mr. C. S. Arthur, the secretary of the Cardiff Club. First of all," said the head-constable, I would point out that both the publisher and the sellers of these cards were committing a breach of the law, as the name of the pub- lisher was not printod upon the cards. But there was no confiscation. Naturally, I should know perfectly well that the police had no right to take any cards from the boys, and none were taken. Neither were any orders given that they should be taken. All that was done was to conduct the boys off the ground, as the Cardiff Club committee had requested." Mr. Arthur said that his committee, after receiving several complaints about the sellers of these cards, had decided to stop their sale on the football ground. No one had any right to sell anything there without the per- mission of the committee, and, therefore, the club were perfectly justified in instructing the police to turn off any boys who offered cards for sale. These boys had frequently made themselves objectionable. At the Irish match they walked up and down before the Irish committee and the Irish ladies' hockey team. half-way through the second half and long before the match was over, shouting, Mourning cards for poor old Ireland." The Irish Ladies complained of this. and other people had complained, and the boys not only offered their cards, but made taunting remarks. Therefore, as the thing was evi- dently becoming a nuisance, the committee had decided to top it, and had taken the only means of doing so. Everybody who has ever seen one will, no doubt, agree with our Swansea con- temporary that H the mourning cardB which are hawked about at the conclusion of big matches are about the most inane composi- tions ever produced outside of lunatic asylums. Indeed," it adds, one often thinks that they must be sold for the enterta,inment of the mentally afflicted." No one will be any the woxcept, perhaps, the printers -if no mourning cards" are ever seen again, and the Cardiff committee will do a service to the public by keeping them off the Cardiff Arms Park.

TOUTING BY UNDERTAKERSI
TOUTING BY UNDERTAKERS Mr. George Wise asked the West Derby gnardians at their meeting in Liverpool yes- terday to inquire into what he described as the disgraceful system of touting for orders by undertakers at the various institutions under the control of the guardians. It was sta-ted that people beard of a death in the infirmary before it was reported at the office of the guardians, and undertakers' touts seemed to have invented a system of signal- ling which the committee of the institutions concerned were unable to discover.

That was not the reason of my withdrawal. More will come up con- cerning this at the next committee meeting of the association, and will clear the Thompson's Park Air Rifle Club of a charge of unfairness and unsportsman- like conduct brought against them by several members of the Cardiff and District Air Kifle Association.—I ain, &C., F.

Parisians Mystified ! -I
Parisians Mystified I 3,000 TROOPS MARCH INTO THE CITY I A detachment of soldiers was called ont to protect Parisians against an imaginary strike nnder crrcransfcadioes reminiscent of a ooinio opera. Between two and three o'olook in the after- noon, wheu the city was at peace and lazy raodsiane were taking the air on the boule- vards, 3,000 soldiers—infantry and ca-vad-ry- marched into Paris from Vincennes, halted on the Place de la Respubliqoo and the IMace la Bistille, and then, separating, marched to the polioe-stat.ioii3 of the nearest districts. The officer in comanarad of each, detachment saluted the district superintendent gravely, and told him he awaited orders. To say that, the superintendents were perplexed is a mild expression. They thought they had been sought out by officers temporarily deranged by the Easter sun. Each of them took his dilemma to M. Touiny, Director of the Municipal Police, and asked what was to be done to get rid of the soldi ere, who stood their ground and refused to leave the police stations without instruc- tions from headquarters. M. Touny was puzzled as his subordi- nates, and presently the telephones at the Prefecture of Police and the Ministries of the Interior and War were madly ringing— M. Lepine, the Police Prefect, M. Clemenceau, the Premier, General Picquart. the War Minister, and the Military Governor of Paris all talking at the same time, and demanding each of the other what this dis- play of military force meant. Every one lost his head for the moment, but at five o'clock some one thought of send- ing the troops home, and this was hastily done. General Pioquart has opened an inquiry into the extraordinary affair, which has greatly mystified Parisians, who are inclined to regard it as a practical joke. I understand, however (says the Paris correspondent of the Daily Express"), that the explanation is this:- Serious strikes have been anticipated in Paris this week, and sealed instructions for troops to proceed to the city at immiediate notice were kept ready. These should have been opened only by the War Minister, but it a.ppea.rs that an officer of high rank opened them on Tuesday, and thought he had to carry them out with- out delay, with the amusing result described.
SHIP'S CREW RE-VACCINATED…
SHIP'S CREW RE-VACCINATED Chief Officer Down with Small-Pox Another of the intermittent cases of small- pox reported in seaport towns was discovered at Cardiff on Wednesday, when Dr. Walford, the medical officer of health, caused the chief officer of the steamship Southville, which had arrived from London, to be removed to the small-pox isolation hospital. It appea-rs that the scourge broke out on board during her voyage from Spain to London, where all the crew, with one or two exceptions, were re-vaccinated. On arrival at Cardiff from London it was found that the chief officer had contracted the disease. The case was at once removed, and all the usual precautions have been taken.

Workmen's Doctors. I
Workmen's Doctors. I THE EBBW VACE EXPERIMEM1. THE EBBW VALE EXPERtME?H. Freelance" Describes a Notable I" Success. One of the first attempts to deal with, the unsatisfactory' "doctor" question at the various collieries and ironworks in South Wales was an agitation to establish work- men's doctors committees. It was believed that if these committees existed rules could be framed under which grievances would bo la-id before the committees and the medical man would be asked to explain any matter that appeared to be somewhat irregular. It, was also felt that the existence of sueh bodies would in the end place any new appointment in the h-andis of the workmen direct. Many such committees were estab- lished. It was at the time when the late Mr. Liascelleg Carr took up the workmen's case for direct representation on the Cardiff Infirmary. Agitation was then rife in several quarters {)If South Wales. In order to show the growth of this move- merit, I cannot do better (writes Lance") than fix upon one district. It shall bo a place it was my pleasure to visit recently, and of which I had heard little since tihe agitation above referred to. Ebbw Vale is an urban district with over 20,000 population. Its industries consist of collieries and iron and steel works, owned by the Ebbw V ale Company. A workmen's doctor com- mittee wa« formed there. It tried hard to gTapple with the difficulty. The oom- mittee appointed five medical men, each of wilom, according to rule, was sup- posed to keep at least one assistant. Each had a private practice as well, but so badly did they overlap each other in their work that little good could be done. No. 1, whose salary was over £1,700 per an nam, traversed the whole length of the district, about eight miles. He kept one assistant, but was without one for a period of three months in one year. No. 2, w.ho drew from 11,200 to £ 1,300 salary, kept two assistant43 and one dispens'sr, a aoinewhat better state of things, but the changes were so frequent that the strength of the etaff was not of much value. No. 3 kept ail a&?;ata.n,t for a time, but then did without cue. Nos. 4 and 5 had the nort hena portion of t-he district between them, but kept, no asaistajit. The salaries of the ia-tter three ranged from £350 to JE500 per annum. The salaries of the assistants averaged about Z-120 per annum, no it was not feUirprising that good men did rot stay long, if they came at all to such a district; a.nd small wonder was it that some of them wfren they came were exceedingly thirsty soula. Such was the condition of things which the old committee had to manage. Present Methods. Yet it worked well, and paved the way, through muoh tribulation, to the present improved and business-like method of dealing with the medical question. This scheme has been in operation aibout three and a hall years. There is a committee of twenty-one, nine representing the miners, seven the iron and steel workers, three trustees (one from the officials, one miner, one steel worker), a treasurer, and a secretary. The present secretary is Mr. Thomas Bees, a clerk iu the employ of the Ebbw Vale Company. His honorarium of per annum is well deserved. The income of tihis committee is derived from a poundage of threepence Levied on all wag-es earned by the men a;nd boys in the employ of the Ebbw Vale Com- pany, 2fcd. being allocated for medical salaries, drugs, dressings, etc., and 3d. for 'hospital purposes. The total income is a tittle over £ 6,000 per aamum. The eaiaries of the medical staff are as follow:- Five principals. L500 each per aauiuan; five assistants, JE200 eaoh per annum, with £ 30 allowance for rooms, if not provided. Private practice is also permitted. The members of the staff are a highly respectable body of men. A dispenser is kept at the central surgery. I am informed that the drug bill exceeds £ 1,400 per annum. The men have erected a hospital at a cost of nearly £ 5,000, with two wards, in which they | have twelve beds. They have also a oouuno- dioua operating theatre and a good day room. with a small balcony overlookimg the valley. The matron is a kind, sympathetic, genial soul, yet full of business, and very anxious to see the proposed extensions carried out and the spring cleaning over. The committee have a. good sum ready towards extending the hospital at an early date. The central surgery is a building which cost about £ 2,000. It contains large waiting-rooms, four con- suiting-rooms, a dispensary, and a drug store, and residential quarters for two doctors on the floors above. They have also a house for one assistant at Waunllwyd, which cost f,295, at Beaufort a house and surgery which cost X560, and one in course of erection at Cwm costing about £ 450. There M also a surgery at Victoria, and another at Sirhowy. The movement is still developing. There may be imperfections, but those are only natural with such a rapid development. They are consolidating by the purchase of their pro- perty in the beginning. This is a movement of which the workmen are justly proud. The company ought also to be proud of their workmen, and I have no doubt they are. Why Does B.M.A. Oppose P I This is a very brief sketch of one branch of a. movement whli<)h the British Medical Association desires to crush. What for? And why? The workmen are not sweating the profession, as the salaries show. They are not indifferent to the needs of the people, or why have they built a hospital? Is it because they have broken down monopoly here and there, backed by an objectionable system of radius agreements? I have only given one instance. There are many schemes in operation, and if such btumanemethods of the poor helpdntg the poor are to be attacked by the B.M.A., then I venture to predict they will find it too late to succeed. Sufficient for the day is the evil thereof. May God prosper such a movement as that of the workmen of Ebbw Vale.

JEWELLERY UP A CHIMNEY !
JEWELLERY UP A CHIMNEY A German waiter, named Albert Keller, aged eighteen, was charged before the Maxylebone magistrate.? yesterday with stealing jeweIlery ot the value of £ 22 from a boarding-house at 18, Nott i n g-h am-place, W., kept by Miss Gertrude Holder. Miss Holder said the prisoner came to her I about a month ago from the Christian I Waiters' Home, as a waiter. Just before dinner on Tuesday she missed a diamond ring from her bedroom, and in the evening I discovered that several other articles of I jewellery, including a diamond pin, two gold pins, and a gold brooch, were also miesing. A gold bracelet set with pearls, a gold watch, and a chatelaine were after- wards found to have been taken from a room oooupied by Miss Nellie Roberts, an independent lady, while another lady boarder reported a loss of 30s. Earlier in the day the prisoner had packed his box and asked that he might have his money and leave at once, but the witness refused to let him ago. Detectives Fitzgerald and Rixon were called in, and on searching the room occu- pied by the prisoner they found the greater part of the jewellery concealed up the chim- ney. Keller smiled when he saw it, shrugged hiis shoulders, and said, "Not me." He after- wards stated, however, that he had been induced to take the jewellery by a friend now in service at Brighton, to whom he had given the missing diamond ring. Prisoner was remanded.
