To-day's Short Story.I
To-day's Short Story. I 1 THE HARNESS-ROOM GHOST. I The night preceding Morley 'Chases was one of those whereon we enjoy our creature oomforta more than usual—when the sight of a blaring fire on the hearth and a bottLe of grog on the table makes a man positively scjoy the sound of the rode blasts omtside, dim to the -sufferiitgs of those who are less ctragly housed. In a room at the back of the honse sat a party of our men, or "lads," as they would generally be termed, for it needed mot a second look at their personalities to convince our dear old friend, "the merest tyro," thait they were of the horse horsey. "Never mind the betting," the elder of the four is saying; "old Pompey will win to-morrow ae sore as my name's Peter. He's emptied his manger all right, yon say, Jem?" "Yes.. down to the very last oat. He couldn't be better, and I can't imagine what the bookies are layin' agen him for; it ought to be 3 to 1 on him instead of against." "Why, they say this house and that stable in particular is unlucky," chimed in another of the party. "Haven't you ever heard the tale of old Simon, the horse doctor?" "No! Let's hear it!" "Well, I don't quite know the rights of the gtory myself, but it appears that about fif- teen years ago the favourite for a big raoe was poisoned in that very box. I believe it was for the same race as Fompey's in to- morrow, thought I won't be sure. "Everything went on all right, and after seeing the horse safe the trainer and the boy who had charge of him retired for the night. Somehow or other, however, old Farmer—you know him, Peter; he's still alive and kicking—couldn't sleep a wink, and, feeling kind o' nervous, thought he'd go and see if the horse was all right. .1.. 'I "1. He no sooner entered Lnis door nere iuau he saw a light in the stable beyond. Mak- ing all the haste he could, he met a man disguised by a mask leaving the box, and a struggle took place between them. Well. old Farmer was only a little 'un, and was getting all the worst of it. when .he be- thought himself of the revolver he always carried. Quick as thought, be out with it, and at close quarters took a pot sh-ot at his opponent. "One bullet was enough. The robber fell like a stone, and when the people of the inn came running in, startled by the noise, it was found to be a man named Simon Finighty, sometimes called Old Simon, and scmetimes the 'hor:se-dootor', ae it was more than suspected he had had a hand in several villainies of the same nature." WelL what about the horse?" "Oh! he'd settled him right enough. It was supposed he'd given him poison in the form of beans, or something of that sort, for he lay like a log all next day, 11 and it was months before he came round. "Well, what's that got to do with the stable being unlucky?" "Why, it's said that the ghost of old Simon walks to this day, and if a horse is in that box he finds his way there, and either poispns or frightens him so that he's no good next day. Anyhow, they say that stable s never held a winner since." "Bosh! There ain't any sooh thxngB as ghosts, is there, Peter?" inquired Jem. who was the lad in charge of Pompey, and whom little Tiny's recital did not appear to have affected pleasantly. "No. of course, there ain't, my lad," ZIOPlied the head roan. "I'll wager you'n see no old Simon to-night, for you'll have to sit up, you know." "Me sit up! What! all by myself?" And Jem's face certainly betokened no pleaetjrable anticipation from his vigil. "Yes! Mr. Morton made me promise that a strict watch should ke kept over the horse, as the betting looked suspicious- Why, you aren't afraid, are you?" Thrns directly appealed to, Jem could not risk the jeers of his fellows by an answer in the affirmative, and aifter another pull at the Scotch expressed himself as ready to face his Satanic majesty himself if neoesaary. "Well, good night. Jem, and mind you don't go to sleep. If you feel drowsy take a turn or two round the rooan—that'll rouse you." Left to himself, with nothing bat the whisky-bottle to appeal to, Jem found it necessary for the maintenance of his courage -whioh was in considerable danger of oozing 3fut at his finger tips—to make several Izefe- rences thereto, and some of the consequccoes thereof were strange. James differed from the majority of stable- belpem, inasmuch as he was not a pawfane man, and averse to taking unnecessary oaths, but he would swear—yes, he'd be hanged if he wouldn't—that a little while ago there wSe only one candle on the table, whereas now there were two. I suppose I'm getting drunk," be solilo Quashed. Pulling himself together with an extraordinary effort, and regaining his legs, he managed to seat himself in a chair, and, assuming a position which was meant to be dignified, but was very much the reverse, he fixed his eyes on the door with the Arm intention of not removing them until the morning. How long he remained in this position he could net tell, bnt presently the door opened and a figure clad in a long black cloak crept stealthily in. Jemmy's first impulse was to speak and ask the visitor his business, but, seeing that he appeared not to notice his presence in the room, our hero deemed caution the beet policy, and determined to watch the course of events. Steadily old Simon-for Jem felt assured the apparition was none other--crept across the room, feeling his way by means of the wall until he neared the stable-door, which he proceeded to slowly open. Now," thought James, is the time for action," and he proceeded to follow his mysterious visitor. No unsteadiness of the legs now! No lack of courage, physical or moral—indeed, the valiant Jem felt he could face a whole regiment of horse-doctors," armed though they were to the teeth. Forward crept old Simon, and by the 1\.M of a dark-lantern which he produced James could see that he was satisfying himself as to the identity of the horse he had come to doctor. Evidently the inspection of Pompey was (satisfactory, for, setting down the lantern, lh- proceeded to feel in his pockets for a smaill round box, from which he took some- thing—Jem could only guess what. Closer and closer to the horse's head he approached, and in a few momenta his fell purpose would be accomplished. Now," thought James, is the time for action." and, jumping up from his place of concealment, he sprang upon the would-be poisoner. Fiercely the latter struggled, for it would, indeed, be a blot upon old Simon's escut- cheon to be taken so easily, and by 31 mere stable lad. Jem had not the least intention of letting him go, however, and the struggle continued until- let go, you fool! What are you doing? Let go of my collar, I say!" "011, no, you ain't going yet, old cock! I've got you this time, and I means to keep you!" "Mean to keep me, do you? Why, wake np. you precious idiot—it's nearly seven o'clock. A pretty sort of watchman you make, I don't think." Recognising the voice as that of Peter, who had come to call him, and gradually becom- ing awake to the situation, Jem rubbed his eyes and exclaimed: "Why, where's old Simon ?" Old Simon? Why, what on earth is the TREDEGARVILLE SCHOOL, CARDIFF.-STANDARDS VI.. & Vil.

Oh, I twig, you've been dreaming, young 'un, and fancied you'd caught him. Ha! ha! ha!" And Peter laughed till the tears ran down his face, much to Jem's chagrin. A g-lanoe at the whisky bottle, the contents of which had undergone a very considerable diminution, enlightened the head la-d still further as to the cause of Jem's abfuscation, and he insisted on the latter accompanying him to the pump in the yard, where he gave that young gentleman such a taste of the cold water cure" that his eyes were I effectually opened. Returning to the harness-room, a visit was immediately paid to Pompey, who, it was found, had passed a good night, and whose eye was bright and clear, while his legs han-dled as firm to the touch as bars of iron. Jem was, in fact, not a little proud of his charge as lie led him on to the course and afterwards walked at his head as he paraded the paddock. Nor was the confidence of the horse's ou p- porters without justification, and after holding a. good place throughout, the pink cap was carried first past the poet, a gallant wanner by two lengths.
I -For Women Folk.-i
I For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES In preparing mustard for rheumatic pains it is best to mix it with white of eggs. New bread can be cut quite easily if the knife is dipped in hot water, dried, and used before it has time to cool. Ivory that has become discoloured may be brought to a pure whiteness by exposing it to the rays of the sun under glass. On no account place ivory in the sua unless pro- tected by glass. Screws and nails which have become rusted into wood may be easily moved by dropping a small quantity of kerosene over them. Allow this to soak in, and after a short time tbey oaa be removed without any trouble. In replanting a privet hedge first dig a trench lain. deep where the hedge is to be replanted; then lift the privet, being careful I to injure the roots ae little as possible. Replant, filling in the trench within 3in. of the top. Give each plant a bucket of water, and a couple of days after planting tread the soil firmly around each plant and fill the trench. I A Delightful Pickle I Ingredients: lib. good ripe tomatoes, lib. onions (Efngliah. or Spaniish}, 1 ta-blespoonful of salt, vinegar, and a few chillies. Mince the tomatoes, onions, and ohillies all together, put into a. 7ib. jar with the salt, amd cover with boiling vinegar. Put away to oooj. When cold itt is a. very nice relish, with cold meat. I Soup Meat for Salad I After having made the soup from ZItb. or 31b. of lean beef, take the meat out and cut into small dice-Hike pieces. Then make a. dTesaung as follows;—French mustard two or three taiblespoonfuls, a nuedrum-sized onion (out finely), salt, pepper, and r to taste, and a good supply of saJiad oil, as this makes the meat moist-it is apt to be dry from previous boiling. Mix all the dressing and meat well together, and let stamd for several hours. Serve with boiled potatoes.

A Curious Point.I -——-———
A Curious Point. I -—— ——— NO RELIEF FROM FINE I A curious point was mentioned at Cardiff County-court to-day in a judirment summons case, in which Messrs. Seesions and Sons, Car- diff, were the plaintiffs. The defendant resided within the jurisdiction of the Ponty- pridd County-court. A fine had been inflicted upon the defendant, who, it appears, is now a bankrupt, and the question arose as to whether the act of bankruptcy discharged the judge's order for the fine. Judge Owen said that an order of the jus- tices for a fine coupled with imprisonment was not diechar" by bankruptcy, He had inflicted this fine under the Summary Juris- diction A-et, and it -was perfectly clear there was no dieeharge. A letter addressed to the high bailiff was read by Judge Owen, in which the writer stated that it was not clear to him whether the bankruptcy proceedings gave relief, or not. If the matter were reported to the judge, and he decided that there was no relief, the writer would have the debtor arrested. Hjs Honour: I have no doubt about it tnysslf that there is no relief. Mr. George David, who appeared for the plaintiffs, asked that the judgment summons should be kept alive. His Honour agfeed to this.
LION TAMER BADLY MAULED I
LION TAMER BADLY MAULED I Another horrible spectacle was witnessed last night in a menagerie at Villeneuve St. Georges, near Paris. The lion Negu-s, which has already nearly killed a lady tamer called Lu. Goulue, sud- denly attacked his preaent tamer, Nicault, while he was striking him with a whip. Negus knocked the tamer down with a blow of ,his paw, and then seined the prostrate body and began dragging it into an adjoin- cage, which was open. ?The spectators, panic?6trichen, mshed to- wards the doors, but M. Laurent, a police commissary, who was watching the perform- ance, drew a service revolver and fired three shots at the lion, wounding him severely and causing him to drop his victim. Nicault was terribly mangled about the head and body.

She wanted his worship to place confidence in her, and trust to her word of honour. Mr. Horace- Smith oaid he certainly was not going to be eo fcolish as to entrust her with amy money.

No Fun at the Sale. I MR. CHAPMAN'S ANTIQUE ORGAN I GOES AT X7. I The sale of oorects of Mr. H, A. Mapman, J.P., photographer, and an ex- mayor of Swansea, this morning by the Swansea collector of Income-tax, rendered necessary by the determination of Mr. Chap- man to protest against his assessment, went off without the anticipated fun. Mr. A. J. Gear, the chief official, attended the sale himself. There were 30 or 40 persons present in the studio when the eale took place. Mr. Gear simply read the conditions of the sale, and then asked for bids for the Ameri-can organ which had been seized. It was a handsome antique organ, which years ago figured in a. Swansea ohapel, and hae sinoo been used by Mr. Chapman as an accessory to his studio. It was appraised by a local music dealer at X10. lille bidding reached L7, at which it waa knocked down to Mr. John Hansard, who, it was said, was acting for another person. Mr. Chapman, was present, and addressed several remarks to the reporters, and after the sale he requested that someone should play the Doxology on the instrument, "for," said he, "I feel inclined to sing 'Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow." It is rumoured that certain brother trades- men of Mr. Chapman intend to/restore to him the instrument and reimburse him against loss.

This is the keynote of Mr. Beerboihm Tree's attitude towards "laving Statuary," as shown in am interview with a press representative yesterday. But I should never dream of trying to impose my opinion upon any other per&oa," added Mr. Tree. "Living statuary revolts me aesthetically muah more than morally, and I am airraid that if you could analyse the publio mind you would find tihat there was more pruriency than artistic interest in its attitude towards this class of entertainment. I say this unwillingly, for I am a hearty friend of the muaiojialls, and thiak that they have suffered much from reproach wihioh may have been merited years ago, but which they no longer deserve."

DO YOU SUFFER FROM URINARY TROUBLES, DROPSICAL SWELLINGS, GOUT, GRAVEL, OR STONE P THEN YOU HAVE KIDNEY DISEASE. I f 'r -,n: Even such common symptoms as back- ache, constant tiredness, and distress- ing rheumatio or neu- ralgic headache are quite sufficient to make you suspect that your kidneys are out of order. You may be oertsuin that they axe so if these early symptoms are followed by urinary troubles of any sort, gravel, rheumatism, gouty symptoms, watery awelllihgs round the ankles or under the eyes, nervousness, at- tacks of giddinees, irre- gular actkm of the heart, aching pains in "Every Picture Tills a Story."I the groin, and ringing in the ears. Work should not bring with it a penalty of pain. Why is it that backache so often follows it? Bocause too often a- heavy and hurtful strain has been laid upon the kidneys, whoee work it is to filter the blood free from poisonous waste matters. Few people realise the heavy tax that is levied by overwork, and by the strain upon the back that is so common in many trades and occupations. The kidneys, which are situated beneath the small of the back, begin to fail in their work; there is a double danger to health. Poisonous waste matter collects in the system, and the kidneys themselves suffer from weakness and disease. If your work seems too hard on you, if you have a lame, weak, or aching back, if you seem tired and. listless, and seem, to be running down without apparent cause, begin at once with Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, the great kidney remedy that has cured so many of your neighbours. It has given back to thousands of men amd women health and strength for their daily "rk Kidney trouMe can be cured only by a kidney specific. Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are compounded of drugs whiob act directly upon the kidneys, regulating them when in health, strengthening them when weak, curing them when diseased. Here is CARDIFF EVIDENCE. Mrs. D. Williams, 1, Wells-street, Canton, Cardiff, writes: Sim,-For two years I suffered from awful pains in my back. As a matter of fact, my illness began with my first confinement. Although I went under treatment by several doctors, and spent pounds on different medicines, it was all to no purpose, for I did not get better. "I was recommended to try Doan's Back- ache Kidney Pills, so I obtained some. In a few days I was a good deal better, and I went on with the pills. When I had taken two boxes I found great relief, and now tbat I have used five boxes of the pills 1 am glad to say I am quite well.
