To-day's Short Story.
To-day's Short Story. A THRILLING EPISODE. What a wrotch.edly enowy, blowy sort of a. night it was, with the raiercuny ranging I don't know how many degrees beiow zero! We were all at dinner in the rather ommd. rate hoarding-blouse. into which Tom and I had drifted after our morey went and we broke tip. It was not nearly so I for Toon as for me—the loeirrg or our money, I meam- his days being occupied with law. for clients were beginning to be more plentiful, amd his nights in gazing into Alice Warfield's hand- some eyes. and helping her build air castles of their future, whilst I, his forlorn lrOtle 6iater spent my evenings, as a rule, at toy room, varied by an occasional rubber of whist in the parlour. Of the two I motto preferred solitude, as the company of Mrs. Warner, our stately landlady, was apt to be depressing. She was a widow, and had lost all her children, among them being a daughter j whom she said I resembled; and she would ga-ze at me pensively for a. time, and then bilently wipe her eyes, so that I began to feel I could do her a tamtoess by keeping ouv of her sight. Then there were Mr. and Mrs. Norwood, the latter being a large, talkaitoye, loud-wtoed woman, wtoom I did not much affect. Beskte, these there were several medical ftudent% who attended the university, tund. oh. yur! Mr. Jans, who was a pusele to everyone in the house. He woe probaihly about 35, and by no means a ha-ndsome man, he rarely talked, and was particularly umxxman/uiiioaitdve about himself. On the rare occasion when be did talk he proved to be a briliiamt ooxv T and there was no doobt in OUT minds as to his being a gentdesoan. Bat I have been chattering so maicfti about the people that I am forgetting all about what I started to write. As I have said, it was an extremely dis- agreeable evening in my room, and I had just decoded in my own mtind that I wuudd spend the evening over a novel in which I was much interested, when Tom oame bounding up the stairs to propare for dinner, and looking in my room for a moment, ead,d- I say, Neil, you look rather moped up here; wouldn't you like to go to the theatre ? Alice is away, you know, so I am at your disposal for to-night. I have tickets for the Lyceum; don't know much about the play, but if you say so, we will go." As a matter of course, I said Yes," invi- tations to the theatre being rather rare with me; and eight o'clock found Tom and myeelf takug our seafta in the orchestra. chaios of the Lyceum Theatre. What was my surprise to find sitting neit to me Mr. Jans, our fellow-boarder! He ex- pressed his pleasure at this unexpected meet- ing, and began forthwith to make himself particularly agreeable. The play was one. of those spectacular affairs that have become such favourites with a oertain class of lake days, and as I did not particularly oare for it I gave myself to being entertained by Mr. Jans. Glancing at my prograzame during a pause in the conversation, I saw in great letters that the world-famed Madame Sylphide would delight the audience by a specimen of her wonderful dancing. Presently the curtain rose, and amid thunders of applause Madame Sylphide advanced toward the front of the stage. Mr. Jans had been in the midst of am animated sentence, but the words died on his lips, and, turning to him presently to smile over the excitement miadame's entrance had created, I saw that he was utterly ookmrteag,- and seemed labouring under an intense excitement. I concluded it was beet not to notice his changed appearance, and turned my atten- tion to Madame Sylphide. 9he wae appa- rently not over twenty, but I afterwords learned she was nearer forty. She was beautiful, with an alluring, enticing kind ot beauty. To me she seemed extremely fragile. and her eyes were sunken. She smiled, bowed, and kissed the tips of her fingers in every direction as bouquets were showered at her feet. The orchestra began an enchaalting waltz, and she floated in the very poetry of motion. The audience seemed spellbound as She moved in and out in graceful evolutions. Presenting without any warning, she gasped, the motion ceased, and she fell to the floor, while a stream of blood gruabed from her mouth, crimsoning the airy fabric in which she was enveloped. The excitement became intense, and I was luet in wonder at the action of Xr; Jams. As madame fell he made cne bound from his seat, dashed ove-- the footlights, and linelt before her, raising her in his arms. How Tom rescued me from the mass of excited people and got me home, I never clearly understood. My brain was occupied in puazling over the tie existing between Madame Sylphide and Mr. Jans. That one existed there was no doubt in my mind. Could she be his sister? There was no like- ness certainly, but very often brothers and sisters did not resem-ble each other; somehow I did not favour a closer relationship. The papers next day were filled with the tragedy at the Lyceum, and the horrible dance of death, for Madame Sylphide never rallied from the hemorrhage we had witnessed. Mr. Jans did not return for more than a. week after the occurrence at the theatre, and he appeared more reserved and melancholy than ever before. &ome days after he had come back he came into the, parlour where I was sitting, idly araziug out of the window, and asked me if I would go for a walk, I was inwardlj amazed at the request, for previous to tbe-night at the theatre he bad treated me with ordinary civility, it i& true, but had never gone out of 1. A ma way 110 entertain me. in spite of my surprise I managed to reply in the affirma- tive. and getting into my jacket and hat, sallied forth. I feel, Mi3s Cameron," he began, "that an explanation is due in regard to my leaving you so abruptly that night in the theatre. I can condense everything into a few words by telling yoa that the unfortunate woman was my wife. I married her when a mere boy, for. her beautiful face, and lived to heartily repent my folly. My life with her was ona long torture, and when patience had ceased to be a virtue, I left her five years ago in Paris, after settling am amrple income upon her to prevent the necessity of her going on the stage. She had inherited OOD- I sumption, and the doctors especially prohibited any form of excitement; but she! refused to listen to advice, and the traigia --o you witnessed was the result It was sad indeed," I remarked. My life," he continued, for years baa been that of a wanderer upon the face of the earth, and not until within the last few months did I beigin to dream of a happiness that might have been. I feel that this is not the time to speak of my hopes, but I cannot let the opportunity p.aæ without saying one word in regard to them. Since I have known you. Miss Cameron, and witnessed your un- selfish devotion to your brother, your bright courage through all your trouble and low of fortune, I have learned to love as I never dreamed it possible. I see ttyat I have taken you greatly by surprise, and I will not let, you answer row. I sail for Europe to-morrow, bt will return within t." year, and shall then cla.im from you the assurance that will intake me the happiest or the moet miserable of men." What my answer was can be readily imagined, as I have been Mrs. Jans for a yoar. Philip's unlucky past is buried in deep ohMvion, and we are as bapipy as it is pos- sible for two mortals to be in this work-a- day world. I

BARRY SCHOOLS' CUP—Won 1904. 1905, and 1907. HURPORD HALF-MILE CHALLENGE C UP.-Won 1906. REGULAR CHAMPIONS [ Pyko-etreet School Association Football team (Barry Dock) possess a remarkable record. For the fourth successive season they have championed the Barry and District Schools League, thus securing the shield and medals. Of sixteen league matches played by them last season they won fifteen, the other match-a. stiff encounter with Barry County School—result- ing in a draw, and only se?ea goals were notched against them, wmist the Pyke-etreet boys have registered 85. In addition, these sharp lads succeeded in winning the Barry I Scho-olis' Cup in 1904, 1905, and again this aeaaon—emeTgTng successfully from the final round with High-street last Wednesday evening. Yet this is not all, for at the Barry I Schools Sports la6t summer the Harford I Half-mile Challenge Cup was eecured by Tom ¡Penny, the Pyke-street representative. I Indæd, this department of the council schools is a hotbed of athleticism, and Farmer and Saunders, the two Pyke-etreet internationals, fully maintained the glorious reputation of their team in the match against England recently. But some of the Pyke-street stars" are about leaving school, and the team will have to rely in future on the present babes."

Passing Pleasantries.I
Passing Pleasantries. I First College Graduate: I hear you have a, job. What doing? Second College Graduate: Oh, running errands and cleaning inkpots, and so forth. Like it?" "First rate; that. is, until my employer had the nerve to ask me out to his house to diniter. It's pretty tough to have to associate with your social inferiors out of business hours." As Tommy was about to climb into his chair at the dinner table, his mother said: Are your hands clean, dear?" Course they are," replied Tommy, vir- tuously. If you don't believe it look at the towel." While standing outside his clnb one day, Mr. W. S. Gilbert was thus addressed by a gentleman: I beg your pardon, sir, out do you happen to know a gentleman—a mem- ber of the club-with one eye called Matthews? Mr. Gilbert thought a moment. I can't say I do," he replied. What is his other eye called? A poor traveller had lost his way in a rural district late OM stormy night, when a.t I last he saw a. house. It was all darkness, but, hopefully, he thundered on the door. The irate householder opened a window and asked who it was making that row. "A friend in distress," replied the weairy trcwveiLer. "Well, what do yoa want?" "I went to stop here all nighfc." "Well, stop there!" said the householder, alamming down the window.

To get rid of caterpillars and aphides, use garden syringe or engine with a cap on the pipe full of very minute holes. This filled with water will wash away these disagreeable visa/tors very quickly. You must bring the pipe otoee to the plant, and pump hard, so as to have oansdderable foroe on, and the plant, however badly infested, will soon be cleared, without receiving any injury. i Every time that you use the syringe or garden engine you must immediately rake I the -mrth under the trees, and kill the I insects you have dislodged, or many will reoover and climb up the stems of the plants. Stuffed Tomatoes Required six tomatoes, two ounces of ?ra?tod cheese, two ta?Me&poomfoIs of ,1=.. cpi&iter of. a. teaspoonful of salt, p a little?i pepper, and one egg..

"I DARE NOT GO BACK!" I ._I
"I DARE NOT GO BACK!" I I There was a distressing poene yesterday when the Grimsby Immigration Board rejected a, young Je v named Da.vid Solomon, from Roumania, who was suffering from trachoma. Solomon claimed admittance aa a. political refugee, stating that recently the premises of his father, a grain merchant, were wrecked through agrarriam outrages, and all their property destroyed. Being impoverished, he was unable to join the ajany whotn ordered, because each soldier had to provide hia own horse., He, therefore, oame away to join an uncle im Man-chester.

I I KICKED ON THE HEADI
I KICKED ON THE HEAD I What Came of Assisting the Police I A Jame individual, named John Kelly, of Barry, waa oharg-ed at Penarth. to-day with being drunk and disorderly, arad assaulting a civilian whilst assisting the police. PoKce-constable MacdonaJd said that on the previous evening he was called to eject the prisoner from a Barry Dock hotel. Kelly, who was in a drunken condition, and used very bad language, lay on the ground and struggled violently. The constable solicited the aid of a man named Roberts, who, on assisting to lift Kelly into a break, was violently kicked on the head by the prisoner, and ren.dared unconscious. Kelly was taken to the police-station, and Roberts medically attended. John Edws-rd Roberts, a seaman, who assisted Police-coaistable Maodonald, said that after being kicked he reulemibered no more till the following morning. Witness's head was heavily bandaged, and has clothes were convered with blood. Dr. H. J. H. Bray said the wound on Roberts's temple was nearly two inches long, and penetrated to the bone. Kelly was fined ZW., or fourteen days, for being- drunk and disorderly, and sent to prison for a month's hard labour for the a/ssaai'lt. Addressing Roberts, Mr. Heywood mid: "We are sorry we cannot make you an allow- I anoe. but you have the thanks of the magis- r toartes for the assistance you rendered."

Workhouse Romance.
Workhouse Romance. ROSE BOLLEY AND HER LOVER I EFFORT TO RELEASE HER I At a. meeting of the workhouse visiting committee of the Cardiff Union yesterday, Councillor F. J. Beavan, who presided, stated that an application had been made to the magistrates by Mr. J. F. Willett, acting on behalf of the grandmother, for a summons against the guardians to obtain the custody of the girl Rose Bulley, whose love romamee has created considerable interest, on the ground that she is over eighteen years of age. The summons was returnable before next Saturday week, and he moved that they advise the clerk to take sooh legal help in the matter as he might deem necessary. The motion was agreed to. Mrs. Bulley, the grandmother of the girl, lives at Cross Cottages, Bradninch, Devon- shire. and has been visited by Mr. J. da Venezia, Miss Bulley's lover. The grandmother, interviewed, states that she has often sent presents to the gdrl and pressed her to come and stay in Devonshire, but the girl seems unwilling to leave South Wales, all her early associations being with Penarth and Cardiff. She visited Bradninch once, but would not stay long. If her sweetheart can see her at the workhouee he has promised to bring her to her grand- mother for a time until they are married. Mrs. Bulley says her granddaughter has been fairly well educated, and wrote her from time to time. In a recent letter written from Cardiff Workhouse the girl states that she is sorry to be there, that t ner lover has promised to take her out, and that one day they will be married. The letter concludes with "love to granny and uncles."
-Those -Acoustics --Again.…
Those Acoustics Again. I CITY MAGISTRATES .STRIKE. I There are no half-measures with Dr. Tay- lor, who is, before all things, blunt and a foe to tentative dilly-dallying. Since the police-court in the new law courts has been opened it has been like a. marionette exhibi- tion, a waxwork show, or a deaf and dumb asylum. And, although nobody can hear what is said, the farce has been gone through of employing interpreters, and when all has been said, all that can be heard is the indis- tinct echo of that which has been said. The magistrates who try the prisoners, the wit- nesses who give the evidence, the advocates, who plead all talk, and nobody can hear what is said. The only silent people are the prisoners, who sure sentenced in this quandary. The sitting magistrates to-day were Dr. Taylor and Messrs. Joseph Howard and J. H. nall,et;. They ali looked fagged as they strenuously tried to listen, as if for dear life, as is their duty, for, as the maxim hath it. Even-handped justice must be adminis- tered, even should the heavens fall." Dr. Taylor, after his stock of patience had been exhausted, said he must complain of the acoustic properties. The difficulty in hearing, he said, was not fair to the bench and legal representatives, and it was moat unfair to the prisoners, who could not hear the evidence, and to the bench, who could not hear the witnesses. The doctor pro- ceeded to say with grim determination: All I can say is that I shall not attend the court again until some alteration, has been made here. Something should be done, in justice to all concerned. I shan't attend again unless something is done. The learned doctor's two colleagues signified acquiescence. What is the use of having ears to hear if you cannot hear?

PRINCE AND SAILOR__I
PRINCE AND SAILOR I Foreign Nobleman's Adventure .1 "While in Piccadilly-circus a gentleman named Carlo Bourbon Del Monte, believed to be a foreign prince on a visit to London, was stopped by a man in sailor's uniform. The man asked for 16s. to enable him to get back to his ship, the Dreadnought. He added that if he did not return to his ship he would be punished. Believing what he said, Del Monte gave him a sovereign, as he had no change. The man then wtalked away, but was followed by a policeman and arrested. At Marlborough-street yesterday he gave the name of Charles H. Beresford, 30, of the Royal Fleet Reserve. He was charged with obtaining the money by false pretences. Police-constable Castleton said Beresford was taken in charge after a struggle. Searched at the station, he was found to have nearly X2 in his pockets. Later he said he did not belong to the Dreadnought. Many complaints have been made to the police. The magistrate directed a remand.

I W A: S N rs 5 u THE BACK WARNS YOU Are YOU suffering from BACKACHE ? Are you sure it ia I not KIDNEY ACHE? Rheumatism, Gout, and other Uric Acid Diseases, Urinary Troubles, Dropsy are some of the other Results of KIDNEY DISEASE. DOyon feel out of sorts; back aching, a J head aching, limbs aching? Perhaps you suffer also from urinary troubles, or gravel, or constant tiredness, nervousness, or dizziness? And you don't know what's the matter with you? And no medicine you take does you any real good? Has it ever occurred to you that your kidneys may be out of order? Perhaps weak only, perhaps diseased? If they are weak or diseased you will suffer from symptoms of kidney disease suoh as those named above, and very likely from gravel, or from watery swellings under the eyes or round the ankles, and from kidney diseases such as dropsy, rheu- matism, stone, gout, lumbago, neuralgia, and sciatica. Do you know that only a kidney medi- cine can cure the kidneys? Doan's Backache Kidney Pills are a special and very efficacious kidney medi- cine, strengthening and curing diseased kidneys. They stop kidney trouble if taken at once, and cure long-standing and obsti- nate cases. Thousands have been cured by them; here is what a Cardiff man says about his experience of them. CARDIFF EVIDENCE. Mr. J. H. Wilmott, 54, Manor-street, The Heath, Cardiff. writes: Gentlemen.-Pqr a long time I was troubled with backaches; it was only slight at first, and I did not give it much attention. Very soon, how- ever, I got very weak, and seemed to lose all energy. I caught a severe cold, and I couldn't get rid of it. I was seized with fearful pains in my back, which gradually spread to my loins and knees, and finally settled in my feet and ankles, causing them to swell, and I could not move without awful pain. "I consulted a doctor, who said I wae Buffering from lumbago, but I did not benefit much by his treatment. I also tried different.. remedies: but to no pur- pose. "I heard of Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and determined to try them. I was de- lighted when I found they were giving me relief—my back was easier, and the swell- ings began to go down. After taking the medicine for four weeks I was quite my old self again Doan's pills have done me the world of good, and I cannot praise them too highly.—Yours truly, (Signed) J. H. Wilmott." Four years later. Mr. Wilmott said:- Although it is some years now since I was cured of kidney trouble by Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, I am glad to say I still feel as fit as ever-there has been no return of the old complaint."
