To-day's Short Story. JANE'S YOUNG MAN As I sit writing in my study, I can hear our Jane bumping her way downstairs with a brush and dustpan. She used, in the old days, to sing hymn tones or the British national song for the time being to these instruments, but latterly she has been silent, and even oareful over her work. Time was when I prayed with fervour for such silence, and my wife with siighs for such care, but now they have come we are not so glad as we might have anticipated we should be. Indeed, I would rc joioe secretly, though it may be unmanly weakness to admit it, even to hear Jane sing "Daisy," or by the frac- ture of any plate but one of Mariana's best green ones, to learn that the period of brooding has come to an end. Yet how we longed to hear the lafit. of Jane's young man before we heard the last of him. Jaaa was always very free with her conversation to my wife, and discoursed admirably in the kitchen on a variety of topics—so well, indeed, that I sometimes left my study door open—oar house is a. small one—to partake of it. But after William came it was always William, nothing but William; William this. and WiHiatm that; and when we thought William was worked out and exhausted altogether, then William, all over again. The engaigement lasted altogether three years; yet how she got introduced to William, and 80 bec.a.me thus saturated with him, was alwaffe a secret. As Mariana had a reprehensible way of letting her servamts talk to her, she soon beard of him. He is suoh a. respectable young man, ma'aan," said Ja.ne, "yon don't know." Ignoring the slur oast on her acquaintance, my wife inquired further about this William. "He is second porter vAt., Mo;ynwd's, the draper's," said Jane, "and gets eighteen shillings-noaxly a pound-a week, m'm, and when the head porter leaves he will be head porter. His relatives are quite superior people, m'm. Not labouring people at all. His father was a green groeher, m'm, and had a chumour, and he was bankrup' twice. And one of his sisters is in a Home for the Dying. It will be a very good match for me, m'm," said Jane, "me being an' orphan girl." Then you are engaged to nam? asked my wife. "Not engaged, ma'am, but he ia saving money to buy a ring-hammyfist." "Well, Jane, when you are properly engaged to him yon may ask him round here on Sunday afternoons, and have tea with you in the kitchen." For my Mariana has a motherly conception of her duty towards her maid-servants. And presently the amethystine ring was being worn about the house, even with ostentation, and Jane developed a new way of bringing in the joint, 80 that this gage was evident. The treasure of Jane's heart appeared to me to be what respecta-ble people call a very deserving young man. William, ma'am," said Jane one day, suddenly, with ill- concealed oomplaoency, as she oounted out the beer-battles, "Williaan, ma'acm, is a tee- totaler. Yes. meam, and he doesn't smoke. Smoking-, ma'am,' said Jane, who reads the heart, do make such a dust atboot. Besides, the waste of money. However, I suppose it's necessary to some." Possibly it dawned on Jame that she was reflecting a little severely upon Mariana's comparative ill-fortune, and she added kindly, I'm sure the master is a bangel when his pipe'3 alight, oompared to other times." He goes to ohiapel," eaid Jane. "His papa, ma'am His what Jane?" His papa, m'm, was High Church, but Mr. Maynard is a Plymonth Brother, and William thinks it policy, me:am, to go there, too. Mr. Maynard comes and talks to Mm quite friendly w'en they ain't busy about using up all the ends of string and about his soul, ma'am. He takes a. lot of notice, do Mr. May- nard, of William amd the way he awyes the string, and his soul, ma'am. Presently we heard that the head porter at Maynard a had left, and William was head porter at 23s. a week. He's really kind of over the man who drives the -vam," said Jane, and him married with three children." One Sunday afternoon about that time I was sitting at my writing: desk—possibly I was Teaditig a. good book-when something went by the window. I heard a startled exclama- tion behind me, and saw Mariana with her hands clasped together and her eyes dilated. George," she said in an awestruok whimper. did you see?" Then we both spoke to one another at the same time, slowly and solemnly: A silk h&t! Yellow gloves! A new umbre" The young couple passed the window again on their way to their customary walk. They were arm in arm. Jane looked exquisitely proud and happy and uncomfortable, with new white cotton gloves, and William, in the silk hat, singularly genteel. That was the cuhnxnartion of Jane's happi- ness. When she returned, Mr. Maynard has been talking to William, ma'am," she said, and he is to serve customers, ma'am, just like the young shop gentlemen, during the next sale. And if he gets on he is to be made an assistant, ma'am, at the first opportunity. He has got to be as gentlemanly as he can, ms.'a.m, and if he ain't, ma'am, he says iit, won't be for the wtaaH of trying. Mr. May- nard has took a great fancy to him." He is getting on Jane," said my wife. "Yes, ma'am," said Jane, thoughtsully, he is getting on." And she sighed. That next Sunday as I drauk my tea, I interrogated my wife, How is this Sranday- different from all other Sundays, little woma..n? What has happened? I clearly perceive a change in my environment, and I cannot for the life of me say what it is." Then my wife answered in her most tragio voice, George," she said, that William has not come near the place to-day! And Jane is crying her heart out upstairs." Then followed a period of silence. Jane, as I have said, stopped smging about the house, and bega.n to care for onr little possessions, whioh struck my wife as being a very bad sign, indeed. The next Sunday a.nd the next Jane asked to go out "to walk with William," and my wife, who never attempts to extort confidences, gav her permission and asked no questions. On each occasion Jane came back looking flushed amd very determined. At last one day she became William is being led away," she remarked, abruptly, with a catching breath, apropos of tablecloths. "Led a,way?" repeated my wife in puzzled wonderment. Yes, m'm, she is a milliner, and oan pl&y OIl the piano." I thought," said my wife, that you were out with him on Sunday?" "Not out with him, m'm: after him. I wa-lked along by the side of them, and told her he was engaged to me." "Dear me, Jane, did yen? What did they do?" Took no more notice of me than if I was iirt. So I told her she should suffer for it." It could not have been a very agreeable walk, Jane ?" Not for no parties, ma'am." I wish," said Jane, I could play the piano, ma'am. But anyhow I don't mean to let her get away from me. She's older than him. and her hair ain't gold to the roots, ma'am." It was on the August Bank Holiday the crisis came. We do not ctea-rly know the details of the fray, but only such fragments as poor Jane let fall. She dusty, excited, and her heart hot within her. The milliner's mother, the milliner, and William made a party to the Art Museum at South Kensington, I think. Anyhow, Jaine had calmly, but firmly, accosted thetm somewhere in the streets, and asserted her right to what, in spite of the concensus of opinion, she held to be her inalienable property. She did, I think, go so far as to lay bands on him. They dealt with her in a crushingly superior way. They "cajied a oa.b." There was a scene, William being pulled a way into the four-wheeler by his future wife and mother- in-law from the reluctant hands of out discarded J ane. There were threats of giving her in change." Thereafter our house rested from William. But there was something in tie manner of Jane's scrubbing the front doorstep or sweeping out the rooms, a. certain vicionaness that persuaded me that the story was not yet ended. Please, m'm, may I go and see a weddimg to-morrow?" said Jane one day. My wife knew by instinct whose wedding. Do you think it wise, Jane?" she Said. I would like to see the last of him," Jane said. "My dear," said my wife fluttering into my room about twenty minutes after Jane had started, she has been to the boot-hole and taken all the left-off boots and gone to the wedding with them in a bag. Surely, she cannot mean Jane," I »aM, is developing character. Let us hope for the best." Jane came back with a pale, hard face. All the boobs seemed to be still in her bag, at which my wife heaved apremalture gigh of relief. We heard her go upstairs and replace the boots with considerbale emphasis. Quite a. crowd at the wedding, ma'am," she said presently, in a purely conversational style, sitting in our little kitchen and scrnbb- illg potatoes; and such a lovely day for tbem." She prooeeded to numerous other details, clearly avoiding some cardinal incident. When they came out of church there was rioe throwing and her two little gistero dToppmg dead flowers. And someone threw a slipper and then I tbreiw a. boot-" "Threw a boot, Ja.no?" Yes, ma'am. Aimed at her. Bat it hit him. Yes, ma'am, hard Gev him a black eye I should think. I only threw th" one. I hadn't the heart to try it again- AA thar little bays cheered when ft bft htm.- eaid Jaaie^witk-savesCccifit.

Passing Pleasantries. I WHAT WILLIE WONDERED. I Many a teacher has found himself repeat- ing year after pear some favourite story without considering the logic of it until called to halt by a small boy listener. So it was with Mr. Frisbio vVlen he told his pupils this year8as usual of a certain Soman athlete who every morning swam the Tiber three times. As the detail of this achieve- ment burst upon him, little Willie Barnes, nudged his next neighbour and snickered audibly. The teacher undertook to rebuke him. "Willie," said he, "you seem to see some- thing very humorous in this. Will you explain to the class what it is? Do you doubt that he could swim the ri^? three times?" "No, sir, it ain't that r gasped littlewillie, "But I was wondering why he didn't make it four times, so as to get back to the edie where his clo'es were." HIS LAST RESORT. The story is told of a well-known American criminal lawyer, whose -valuable services were retained last year by the wealthy relatives of a man accused of murder. The case was a bad one, for the evidence was overwhelming against the accused Despite ,this fact, the lawyer contrived, by the skil- ful exercise of every trick and manoeuvre known to the profession, to secure the dis- agreement of juries, delays, appeals, etc., till at last the case was brought before the Supreme Court. One day in an interview between the prisoner and his counsel the former asked. "In case the Supreme Court should decide against me, what will be my next move?" "To Heaven, I hope," was the candid response of the lawyer.

"SIGN! SIGN!"
"SIGN! SIGN!" Dramatic Description of a Death- Bed Scene. I RETIRED CLERGYMAN & WIFE I Son Says He Suspects Poisoning Allegations of a eerious nature were (aa briefly reported i.n Saturday's Pink "Ex- press") ma<de at an inquest opened by Mr. C. L. Drew, the West Ijo-nd-on coroner, at Kensington on Saturday into the circum- stances of the death of a lady who was interred in April last in Kcnsal Green Ceme- tery, and whose body was exhumed on Fri- c!ay in consequence of allegations made con- cerning her death. The iamelat the deceased is Grace Hancock, aged 53, the wife of Mr. Walter Swinburne Ilanoock, an ex- lerg-yman, of 1, Alfred- place West, South Kensington. Her death took place in Maich last. 1fr. Samuel Beech Chester, eon of the deceased, was called. He said that his father, who died in 1883, was Mr. Paul Tow-nseyid Jones. He assumed his grandmother's name. When did your mother marry again?—In 1S97. Whom?—Mr. Walter Hancock, a re-ti-red olergyman of the Church of England. The witness went on to speak of his mother's lllnoss, and said a few days before her death she told him she I Wanted to Make a Will I in his favour, leaving all her property to him. On the- day of ner death witness was suddenly summoned from his chambers to hia mother's house, and went there in a cab. On arrival there he saw Dr. Rigden, and said to him, The will has, of course, been executed?" He said, "What will?" Witness went on: I then looked in the top drawer of a chest of drawers, and there I found the will in &,n unexecuted state. I asked the doctor if he had a pen, and he said Yes.' Then there was no ink. I went downstairs very quickly to get some ink, and when I got back j*r. Hancock was standing at the head of the bed glaring at my mother in a horrible fashion. Then the doctor used a hypodermio syringe. I took the unexecuted will in my hand and made to approach my mother. My mother made a frightful struggle to rise, and said, Sign, sign.' She then fell back dead. Then the husband asked me to come into che other room, which was his bedroom. I went there. He took me by the hand and patted me on the shoulder." Do you suggest anything?—Yes, I suggest that the husband knew my mother was in a. rery poor state of health. In fact, he said to me some time after her death that she had been dying foT two years from a, lesion of the heart. But what is your suggestion?—1The sugges- tion is that the smallest quantity of poison wou-d kill an adult in that state of health. Mr. Walter Swinburne Hancock, the deceased lady's husband, gave formal evi- dence as to his marriage with the deceased. The Coroner: What are you?—A retired clergyman. Witness added that he was now engaged in business in connection with a dyeing and cleaning firm. Miss Annie Isabel Dixon, a trained nxirse, deposed to being oaJled to attend the deceased on March 27. She found the deceased very ill, suffering from influenza. The Coroner: Was there any vomiting?— Once. You had a suspicion it might have been a case of poisoning?—Yes. Lydia Spurr, the housemaid, eaid she was in the deceased's service six months. Towards March deceased was not well, sick and tired. The Coroner: How many times was she sick?—Once or twice. It was caused by some- thing she had oaten-Bome tinned vegetable. She gradually got worse. I "I Am a Ruined Man!" Dr. Walter Rigden. of Kensington, the deceased's medical" attendant, d = ?d to being called in attendance on the deceased on March 25. The symptoms were indefinite. Deceased's pulse was 103, and she had a headache and backache. As a provisional diagnosis witness called it influenza. Next day the temperature had gone down and there was a grea.t deal of perspiration. That confirmed witness's diagnosis. It was on his advice that the eon was sent for. Did Mr. Hancock raise any objection?—I said he must be sent for. He said, Is it necessary? Won't to-morrow do?" I ea.id, He must be sent for." Witness then described the death scene. The son, Mr. Cnester, came in and said, There is a document to be signed." He went to a drawer and got it out and said, If this is not signed I am a ruined man." There was a pen, out no ink. Mr. Chester went downstairs to get some ink. When he came in again she died. The whole thing happened within three minutes. Was anything said to ner aboqt signing a will?—Yes. I do not know what it wae, but she gave me the impression that she was willing to sign. There were in the room a nurse, Mr. Chester, and myself. Whilst Mr. Chester went away to get the ink Mr. Hancock came in and- eat by the side of the bed. What was the certificate you gave?— Intermittent fever and heart failure. Mr. Hancock was re-called, and duly cautioned by the coroner. During the past winter, be. said, he had noticed nothing abnormal in his wife's condition. She went to a reception at her sister's about four weeks before her death, and wore too thin olothmg, getting a. cold from which, in his opinion, she died. The Coroner: Was the money you put into the business yours?—It was a quid pro quo for money I bad lent her. Do yon wish to say anything about the will?—My wife told me that two lawyers had oome to her and wanted to get her to &ign a will. "As to my stepson," witness con- tinued, "he and I never got on well together. We were beet apart." Mr. Artenrus Jones: Have you ever studied medicine?—Yes, en paseant. I studied mecfi- cipe for a year and a half at the time I Studied theology, twenty years ago. You have a knowledge of drugs?—My know- ledge is commensurate with my ignorance. Result of Post-mortem Dr. William Henry Wiloox, pathologist at St. Mary's Hospital. who made the post- mortem examination in the presence of Dr. Rigden, said that on opening the abdomen he found part of the appendix very much enlarged, and in a condition of appen- dicitis. possibly only of two or three weeks' standing. He found no trace of poison. The Ooroner: Are you satisfied that the cause of death was appendicitis ?—Yes, but I am not prepared to swear that there was no poison. I found sufficient disease to account for death, but if you ask me if I will swear that no poison waa given before death I would not swear. Some poison may be given which would not show any trace except by analysis. The inquiry was adjourned for the purpose of having an analysis made of the contents of the stomach.

Describe the state of the tins P-Direotly I opened the tins vre found that the gas which, escaped in consequence of compression by decomposition was foul in the extreme, eo much so, indeed, that people were holding their ncsee outteide the shed. Wae thetr0 any other iadica-tioni besides the, gas of their unfitness for fODdp-yes- In. cer- tain parts of the sausage-meat I found little bits of mildew. Other indications. were that a.U the labels had been scraped off the tins so that they could not be identified,which is not usual, except with "bad remainders, and evidently some of the tins had been pricked to let the gas out a.nd then soldered up again. We noticed that in dozens of the tins. I examined the food further by means of a powerful magnifier which I always carry with me, and picked out amongst the sausage-meat what seemed very much like horseflesh. So that in this way the poor horses which are sent abroad return to this country. How many tins have you opened?—One in every case, sometimes two, and sometimes three. The tins were inspected by the magistrate, who made an order for the destruction of the whole quantity.

A Lancer's -Escapade.I
A Lancer's Escapade. I ENJOYABLE TRIPS IN A MOTOR. I A against a trooper of the 16th Lancers, who is now in the hatuds of the Hampshire police. It is alleged that the trooper, a rimart young fellow of 22, deserted, from his regiment at A-Vteirethpt, and, clad in mufti, visited the works of Meesra. Dennis Brothers (Limited), motor-car manufacturers, at Guildford. Ho said he washed to Purohak, a motor-car. Several cams were showa him, and. he even- tually selected one for a. trial run. He left, accompanied by a driver amd tester of the firm, jund immediately afterwards the driver of a hansom cab drove up to the works for "the gemotlema-n whom I drove from Bpsom." He explained that he had instruc- tions to go to the Lion Hotel for tea., and to order tea aiiso for his fare, the motor-caj buyer. The latter was given a long run. He first visited Wokimg, aind called .at eevetfoJ. privat-o houses, telBimg tihe drdver that he had to see some pa/tients. This naturally led the driver to suppose that he was a doctor, and, keep-ing up the part, he called at the Woking Cottage Hospital "to reports" Prom Woking he was driven to Alderelhot to see a. "Captain Warren," and on the way he packed up two Daaioers, and gave them a lift as far aa their quarters. At Aldershot visits were paid to hotels and private houses, amd also to a.n officers' mess. Between Aldershot and Farniboroug-h he had the car stopped in order to watch, some soldiers a.t drill, and, after cabling at a house displaying "Apartments to Jet," he decided to stay at Aldershot for the nigiht. He made an appointment to meet the driver. at the Wellington Hotel the next morning. Instead of keeping the appointment, he drote tD Parnham in a mb, ajid hired a -motor-cor from the Pilgrims' Way Works, and left for London. In the meantime information had been given to the police by Messrs. Dennis, who wished to recover an overcoat worth E4, lent to the "customer" for the run in their oar. The roving Lancer was traced to FSa-rntheun, and a description of the Pilgrims' Way car was telephoned to the Met ropolitan Police, who promptly estopped it at Hammersmith, a.nd arrested the rover. A lady's ring and bracelet, which he explained belonged to a lady at Fanvborotngh., are said to ha.ve been found on him.
 | WEDDING ON SKATE&j
 | WEDDING ON SKATE& America's Latest Novelty. In Brooklyn on Saturday night a youaig couple were married on roller skates. The bride, the bridegroom, the best man, the bndetoaids, 5QO spectators, and even the minister were all mounlted on roller skates. It was the first big wedding on roller skates ewer performed, and from the scenic point of view it was highly successful. While Mr. Dalton, the Brooklyn minister, was finding his way to the fashionable rink the band played Mendelssohn's Wedding Maroh," followed—as the minister sfill tar- I ried—by Vesta. Victoria's There Was I Waiting at the Church." Mr. Dalton is an expert on rollers, amd everyone admired the dashing way in which ho led the bridal party to the altar, erected under :L canopy at the eaet side of the rink. There was no shoving or pushing or tum- bling, despite the roller skates. During the marriage ceremony (says the Morning Leader"), even when Mr. Dalton pronounced the mystic words making Ray- mond Barrett and Susan Pierce man and wife, he didn't remove the skates. After the ceremony there was supper on the skates, and finally the happy pair rolled I out to a carriage which took them to Atlan- tic City for the honeymoon.
