To-day's Short Story.
To-day's Short Story. A LOVER'S ARTIFICE. Allan Frothingiiam. was one of those favoured individuals whom we often en- counter in real life who had been fortunate enough to come into this toiling, scheming world with a silver spoon in his mouth. In a word he was born rich; but to be born rich does not always imply moral bank- ruptcy or absolute selfishness and indiffe- rence to the rights of others. To accept this idea only in an exceptional sense, we will do our hero the justice to present him to the reader as one of those exceptions. Allan Frothingham was, indeed, one of the most unselfish, kind-hearted, and punctiliously honourable young fellows in the world. He left the city on a sweltering August day to visit a relative in the country. It was a large modern built farmhouse, with a broad verandah in front, which his relative occupied. It was about five o'clock when he alighted from an elegant phaeton on the sweltering August afternoon in ques- tion, and was welcomed with open arms by his maternal aunt, a cheerful, middle-aged lady in mob cap and spectacles. "You are just in season!" cried the amiable lady, gaily, "both for tea and an introduc- tion to the prettiest girl in Haselmere!" and without waiting for excuses from the not over forward young gentleman, she hurried him directly to the sitting room where the young lady was seated. "Thsia is my nephew, Miss Vane-Miss Eleanor Vane—Mr. Allan Frothingham!" Frothingham blushed to the roots of his hair, but managed to go through the usual commonplaces. The young lady was easy, graceful, and self-poised. She was the most beautiful creature, too, Allan thought, he had ever seen. Allan Frothingham begun the acquaintance with the profoundest admiration of Eleanor, and his admi ration soon became most exalted love and worship. They were sitting one evening in the draw- ing-room-a lovely moonlight evening in the latter end of September—her soft hand rest- ing passively in his, without the slightest indication of earthly passion in her towch, her great luminous eyes bent upward, as though in subdued wonder and curiosity. It was hard to say whether her thoughts were lingering on the earth or wandering thtoug-h remote fields of space. Both had been silent for many minutes. This was to be the last tright for Allan Frothingham's stay in Brompton. Mias Vane—Eleanor," he at length stam- mered, after a desperate effort to control his tongue amd direct it into the almost inaccessible curremt of speech. I-I want to say somssthmg before I go." Eleanor turned and goa.ed into his face with a mild, encouraging look of inquiry. Oh! what an electrical thrill that simple look sent through him! "What is it, Mr. Prothiughaza?"she asked. Eleanor," he went on floundering, I hardly know how to express to you ail that I wiah CODTey- I desire to be your friend, and, if possible, infinitely more than that. I feel as tboagh I would like to bestow on you the advantages of wealth, but I hardly know in what way to addxees you. If you were willing to become my wife, Eleanor, my fortune--everything I possessr-should be freely placed at Your command, and with these advantages to aid you your surprising talents might be brought much, more promi- nently before the world. I wieh to place my fortun-e at your NispceaJ." Eleanor was capable of a deep, strong, prze love such as but few women are qualified to experience in this world; but her lover seamed soanewhot patronising, as if the pos- session of his wealth garve him the right to consider himself her superior. Although she sincerely loved the blunt, honest-hearted fellow, her pride compelled her to refuse the hand thus offered. She readly believed that they could never become con-genial spirits. She answered him in a way that left no room for hope, aad he departed from Hasel- mere the next morning broken-hearted and despairing. She had not only refused him, bat had firmly declined all offers of pecuniary assistance at his harnds. A happy thought at length struck him. He went to the lawyer, and was closeted with him for several hours. The next week he took passage on one of the steazziferg tot the Continent. Six months later Eleanor was astonished at the reception of a telegram from Paris requesting her imraeddate attend- ance on business of the utmost importance to herself at the office of Gilbert Bobisson, Lincoln's Inn, On arriving at the office of that gentleman, and making herself known, she was in- expressibly shocked at the announcement of Allan FrotbiughaamCs accidental death in Switzerland, with the equally unexpected declaration that he had left a. will in her favour before quitting the country. Eleanor went back to Haelemere ten thousand pounds richer than she came; but instead of rejoicing she returned paae, heart- broken, and dmgpattted. She felt that through her sensitive oftetmacsy she had destroyed a. man who loved her as much as any man was capable of loving, and one whom she loved in leturn as few women had the sourl to love. Hearing of some friends contemplating a tourr on the Continent, she signified her willingness to join them In company with her friends while in Some, she visited the art galleries and the studies of oeiebraited English and French painters then resident in the Eternal City. In the studio of a young English artist, then struggling; for his nraaxien Lampels, but j eince well known to fame, she discovered a remarkably well-exaouted Ubenem of Allan FrotMaghain. "Is that portrait for æ;]e?" she inquired, with eager earnestness, trembling lest she should be disappointed by the refusal. "I am st;raggling," said the young painter modestly, "and should not be likely to refuse a reasonable offer. Are you acquainted witih the original?" "I was before he went abroad," answered Eftaanor confusedly. And then, to cover up her oonfmamna, she offered the painter a. large price for the por- trait, which he joyfully accepted. "The origan of this, Mr. Allan Frothing- ham," said the youthful artist errthaMiasti- cally, "is the noblest young fellow living1 and the best amateur painter in Rome. But for him I might have starved ere this, 11 fear." What t" cried Eleanor trembling with excitement. How do I understand you ? Is not Mr. Frothingham dead?" Not that I am aware of," replied his friend conikfenttly, -unlem he has died this morning. We have chummed it together far the last six months, and I expect him in every minute." Eleanor fainted to the surprise of every- one. In the midst of the excitement pro- duced by this singular occurrence Frothing- i ham entered, but not until Eleanor was, resuscitated did he recognise her. I That evening, as they sat hand in hand I upon the balcony of the hotel in which she and her friends stopped, just as on that last evening in Haselmere a year ago, with I the exception of that now they had came to a clear understanding, Eleanor inquired how l it was that a faJse report of his death- hap- pened to reach her. "Oh, that was all arranged before I left the country. You had refused me amd all my offers of aseistaaice, so I had no alterna- tive but to stoop to subterfuge in ordei tul enforce my dekgns.11 He felt the warm pressure of herhand. The next month An-urt Frothinghasni and Eleanor Vame were married in the presence of a party of select friends.

"The Unwritten Law.' I
"The Unwritten Law.' I I JUDGE ON TRIAL FOR MURDER I In the Covington (Virginia^ County-court Judge Loving is being tried for murdering Mr. Theodore Eetes, eon of Sheriff Estes, and I the oase incidentally involves a novel test of the "unwritten law." Judge Loving's defence is that young Estes, I during a buggy ride, dragged and attached his young daughter Elizabeth, one of the prettiest and most engaging among the pretty girls for which Virginia is famous. The cruaial paint in the case, and the one upon which the people of Virginia are split into factions, is whether Mr. Loving in killing Eetes did not avenge a wrong never com- mitted, and whether he acted with undue haste, failing to take necessary precautions to ascertain the truth before starting out on his erramd of vengeance. Over this question the most eminent counsel in the State have been engaged to argue. Public sentiment, always bordering on the hysterical whenever the unwritten law is I brought into question, has risen to extraordi- nary heights. One-half of the coumty asserts Miss Loving was not wronged by Estes, that Judge Loving was not told by his daughter that she had been wronged, and that the young man, whose character had hitherto been without a stain, had been guilty of nothing worse than injudiciously giving the girl a drink of whisky "at her own request. The case is complicated by the nature of the medical evidence, and also that lifelong political enmity existed between Judge Loving a.nd Sheriff Estes, and in the South political enmity means a. great deal.

Gelligaer Affairs. Parish Council Employes Under I Notice ASSISTANT OVERSEER SUSPENDED I As exclusively intimated in the "Evening Express" last week, public affairs in Gelligaer parish are in an interesting condition, and matters reached a climax on Monday even- ing, when Mr. Sydney Jones presided over a special meeting of the parish council at Hengoed. The aspect of affairs at the open- ing of the proceedings was ominous, for in the place usually occupied by Mr. John Jones (the assistant-overseer) sat Mr. C. C. Shell, the Tirphil stationmastor, who has been investigating affairs in his capacity as councillor. The brothers Jones were, how- ever, in attendance as clerk and collector. Early in the proceedings the council decided to dispense with the services of every workman engaged on the footpaths and recreation grounds, and also dispensed with the office of surveyor and architect. Mr. Edward Edwards, Tstradmynach, over- seer, attended and made a statement to the effect that the overseers had met and con- sidered correspondence which had passed between the Local Government Board and himself with reference to the preparation of the voters' list, and upon the strength of that correspondence a resolution, moved by Mr. Randall, and seconded by Mr. Prout, was passed In these words:— That the overseers, having duly considered the com muni cat ion of the Local Govern- insnt Boaj-d respecting the preparation of the vbters' list, and having regard" to the loose manner in which the assistant-over- seer (Mr. John Jones) has. performed his duty; deem it imperative to call upon the po^Sh council to suspend Mr. John Jones peuding the report of the investigation com- mittee and our interview with the district auditor as to the mode of our further pro- cedure. A painful pause hung over the room as Mr. Bichards waited for a. moment to note the effect of.'his statements, and then, conclud- ing, he said that he felt confident that the members would hold that the overseers were justified in taking the step. Mr. Stephen Evans (Pontlottyn) said: I am extremely sorry to bear the recommen- dation. I don't know what to may, for Mr. Jones and myself have been very friendly for many years. But we have a duty to per- form, and, although it costs me a great deal of pain, we must put aside all friendship, and, therefore, I propose that we adopt the report. Mr. Henry Llewellyn (Deri) seconded, and also expressed his regret. The resolution was, like the others, unani- mously carried. Mr. G. li. Randall then asked who would take on the work of Mr. John Jones. Mr. Edward Richards replied that there was another assistant-overseer (Mr. Albert E. Jones), an d the overaeers had no other course but to allow him w take on the duties during the suspension. Mr. Rees Davies proposed that this should be confirmed by resolution, and all acquiesced. iI, La-t of all, one member asked when the, could expect a report from the investigation oomnjittee, and the Chairman, responded that Tie could not definitely say, as there were several matters not yet dealt with. After the meeting of the council the inves- tigation committee re-commenced in camera their task, which has already lasted ten days.

WOULD-BE SON-IN-LAW. I A Depressing Adventure I The story of a lovesick Lincolnshire farm hand's encounter with an unsympathetic parent was told at Grimsby yesterday, when young William Knight, of East Halton, was summoned by a bricklayer named Brocklesby for using threats. Knight went to plead for the hand of Brocklesby's daughter Mabel, declaring he loved the very ground she walked 0iI1; but the bricklayer told him he ought to be ashamed of himself-he, a man of 30, woo- ing a girl of 17! William then began to weep, but after- wards he became violent, declaring that if be could not have Mabel no one else should. So the prudent father first called in apolioe- man, and then created a strong dramatic situation by bringing in Mabel, who declared she did not want William. Nevertheless William attempted to kiss Mabel. He was firmly rest?«.inej$by r father and the policeman, and ultimately ejected. The magistrate bound the ardent swain over for three months.

Z-t 61 Neuralgia, Brain-Fag, Influenza, Nerve Disorders— Mr. Algernon Ashton his become famous by being" exact," so much so, that the newspapers have come to rely upon his accuracy, and he is generally known as The Corrector of the Press." Mr. Ashton noticed with keen interest the high estimation in which Phosferine is held by a vast public, and he was so much impressed by the large number of Royal Personages and Celebrities who use Phosferine, that he decided to prove whether the tonic would benefit himself. In a characteristic and pleasant letter Mr. Ashton says he is thoroughly satisfied that Phosferine is a splendid cure for neuralgia and other nerve disorders, and an un- failing invigorator when anyone is suffering from overwork or brain-fag. Such a plain and open recognition of the wonderful remedial properties of Phosferine by the most accurate man in England is additional proof of the great position which the tonic occupies in the public regard. What He Advises. Algernon Ashton, Esq., writes:—" Probably you are familiar with the fact that I have so frequently corrected inaccurate statements in the columns of the Press that my journalistic friends have dubbed me the Corrector of the Press ? I have seen your striking advertisements many times, and I like them immensely-they are quite accurate and there is nothing to correct. I know that Phosferine is a splendid cure for neuralgia and other nerve disorders. I have seen instances in which people have been run down from overwork, suffering from brain-fag or influenza chills, and who were promptly restored to health and strength by a few doses of Phosferine..1 am aware that quite a remarkable number of Royal Personages and celebrities have expressed their appreciation of Phosferine, and my own experience of the curative value of the tonic is in every way as satisfactory as is stated in the letters of your customers which you publish week by week in the popular Press. I have, therefore, very great pleasure in adding my tribute to the volume of testimony you already possess."—April 15,1907. PHOSFERINE The Greatest of all Tomes.

¡ NOBLE ART OF SELF-DEFENCE
NOBLE ART OF SELF-DEFENCE Sir Ralph Littler and His Student I.. Days. It is & pity the noble art is not practised now as it was. When I was a student I could down anyone I could put my hands on. If this man had used his fists illstea.d of a stick be would not have been here now." So said Sir Ralph Littler, K.C., chairman, at the Middlesex Sessions y-esterdaq during the hearfcg of a. case ■which arose out of an affray on Sunday, April 7, on Mr. Lord George Sanger's farm at Finchfey. Herbert Cooper, an assistant farm bailiff, was indicted for inflicting grievous bodily harm upon Dr. Willia.m. Cowper, of Hanrpsstead. The prosecutor, with his brother and a friend, was crossing a field when Ooopet, in violent language, demanded to know what they were doing there. The defendant struck Dr. Oowper with a stick, rendering him insensible, and he was carried away on a hurdle. In reply to counsel, the prosecutor said he could give a gocd account of himself in a fight, and knew what a students' brawl waB. Sir Ralph Littler then made the remarks -given above. Cooper was found guilty of a common assault" under great provocation, a.nd he was bound over and ordered to pay MO towards the cost of the prosecution.
FATHER OF SEVENTEENI
FATHER OF SEVENTEEN At Tower Bridge-court yesterday Stephen Mason was summoned by the education authority for not sending his son Frederiak regularly to school. He said that it was not his fault; he had to leave home every morn- i ing at five o'clock. Mr. Rose: I suppose it is your wife's fa.mt? Defendant: No, not at all. She geta up the same time and looks after the children properly. She cannot take Fred to school because she has other children younger at hoone, bat she sends him regularly. I've got a lot of children at home, and my wife is outside the court with some more. Mr. Bose: How many children have you? Defendant (after a moment's considera- tion): Sixteen. Let's soo eleven by my first wife and six by my second. Mr. Bose (laoghing): You ought to know by now how to send the younger children to school. Defendant: Never mind. It can't be helped. I am sure I do my duty as far as I possibly can. Mr. Bose: you must pay half-a-orowu, or go to prison for three days.
