To-day's Short Story.
To-day's Short Story. MRS. COLTER'S JEALOUSY. Mts. Colter was in a turmoil of jealous indignation. All bad been serene and smiling: as she went down to breakfast in one of her prettiest gowTis, æcorted by her han<i- sevme, g-enial husband. Then, with other- ladies, she had sanniered down to the -ittle pier to see hej; husband off on his fishing exert re-ion, with half a. dozen more brothers and fathers in his party, and, this done, the next thing: was t-o see that her room was i-ut into comfortable order. And just here her serenity departed, and the turmoil began in her poor little heart. Far there, on the first chair, flung down with ¡ true caaecuime careieesn-ess, lay her has band a flannel suit, discarded in. favour of the fish- ing: togs, and as she lifted the ooat to haa? it up there insidiously slipped froan the pocket a little twisted scrap of paper, vniich, with a smiling', Let's see what Rob has be:>n perpetra,ting now," ahe proceeded to inveeti- g'a.te. For Rob was bieseed with a. keen sense of humour, and was much given to jott-ins down bits 01 jokes, pane, aDd sage refloetic as on the dillereTht aspects of summer hotel life, which it was their e-ustom to laugh over together in the retirement of their own room. So it ar-as quite without suspicion that ilrs. Kcb untwisted the innocent-iookimr scrap, and ra confronted with—not her husband'3 bold scrawl, but a delicate feminine writing, to this effect:— Yes, moo ami. I don't know that I mind giving: up my afternoon siesta fortius once, and if I can evade the Tabbies I will sahp away about three o'clock. That is, if you will pledge yourself that both coolness and shade lurk on the further side of the big rock, and if you are sure that it io oat of window range. For it would never do iff we were to be seen there.—To are. J.L. Wednesday, a.IIl. As she took in the sense of these words, her placid smile was succeeded by a frown. "It's that horrid Mrs. Leeson, of jourbe. She has juet thrown herself at Robert's head ever since she came. Wednesday, chl That's to-day, and now we'll see about thia walk. I shan't mention this note, bet I think I can manage to deieat this plan. I wonder, though, if it would not be a good idea to&et up a little counter flirtation? There's that handsome youaj Dugaii just waitin? for a little encouragement, and. evidently. Bob i needs a Now all this was quite natural, but in her titdignation Mrs. Colter failed to give due iconsideration to circumstances. She and Robert were spending: a month en a small island in the Sound just off the Connecticut coast. L '.va-a such a little island, only about thirty acres in all—a delightful resting-- j place for Fermi-invalids, for lazy people who can bask in air and sunshine, and for book- worms and dreamers, but just a wee bit dull for a city man. Kobert Colter was the possessor of a sweet, intelligent wife who appreciated all the good tilings of life almcjft in equal dearree with himself, and, though they had been five years man and wife, ho never weaned o€ her Still, that did not prevent hit; en.jOyra^at of other women 'j? society, and in this (,niet. little, isolated resort he had found a certzizi pi<xnancy in exehajigring' Jig-ht itadira^e with someone etse's wife—of wbdcrK". Ami Millie was quite welcome to piay the sanue little §5x-rne if she choose—in moderation. be it understood. Foreseeing his dull moments would be apt to increase mtfc (.ac1 coming day, n was not with total Lndiilerence he had wita?secd a new arrival the week previous.. The said new arrival was a very flirtatious widow. She was s.05 a person of much reftnemicjii, bocit she had a readj- toatrue, an uafaair;? flow of e.pirit £ ?, and J. bis, b.j gob. vo,ce. had aieo an inea4.ia.bfc> appetite for admiration, ao!¡J wa-- neysr ccratented without oome man. dangling after her. \a Mr. Cotton was quite her opposite in apspeaa-aace, vjhe at CDCG selected him ao her cavalier. Mi.sfcreae Millie had folt quite easy on the subject, pimply because every tiujj-s1 so entirely c.n the surface, and it was oauy the iblding l of Mrs. Leeeon's ^isohievous Little fctav. I which had made her bebev.:i tliat Eoberfc cooLd deceive her: And now what phoald she do?' Not being: by an-7 means of tie G-rx-ekla :.yi>> of woman, one of her first thoughts was to retaliate. Henee her resolution to bottle up her indignation, and Quietly outgeneral the WJdvw by keeping an eye on Sobert until indignation and quietly outgeneral the •n alls. In due time the fishermen returned, and lunch being over, the usual afternoon dispersion began. rg. Iec-son stationed herself 0.1 the piazza with :t boolC end Willy J got together half-a-dozen pool-players a;:d carried Eobert and young Dtigal] off in her train. iiather to her surprise, Rou i-emed to enjoy the game, which was prolonged I almost to dinner-time. But, having become suspicions, Xilly imagined further duplicity, btit remained firm in her resolution to pay back in h own coin her recreant i bur-band, and was so charming to young Dusrall that his bead was quite turned. Di,mer over, Mr. Dugall proposed a etroll over the lon-sr pier to welcome back the paiiiDT party. And after that, what was more natnral than to wa-nder round by the bathire beach, where the waves were comins in with greater- force than usual before a rising wind. Theu back to the hotel for a eo*y tete-a-tete. Witlun an hour Mr. Dagall was eloquently pourtraying the delights of a ptil over to Watch Hill and dinner at one of the hotels. And "Would Mrs. Colter let aim escort her over to-morrow?" "Ob. but-these women, you know, how they wpuld talk!" I "Well, sorely, you don't mind. We'll just I start off quietly after breakfast, as if for an I hour's sail, and if they do gossip, we'll have a nice day, anyhow, and be home by dinner- time. And you know, it won't half cqu-al Mrs. Leeson's dvinga." "By the way, where is the widow this evening, Mr. Dugall?" why, don't you know? Sumner came over an hour ago with his catamaran, and invited your husband to try its speed around the island, and nothing would do but Mrs. Leeson and her sister should go along. And they haven't got back yet. Come. ??iow; won't this give the gossips enough to talk about to-morrow, so they won't be thinking of us? You'll go, Mrs. Colter?" Well. I won't promise, but if I come down in my boating suit you can see Tom about engaging thu Mermaid." Then her spirits seemed to flag. Flirting wasn't much fun, after all; and, oh, where was Rob all this time? After a quarter of an hour of wandering thoughts and increasing indignation against the whole sisterhood of widows, she felt that she must have solitude; so she ran upstairs and locked herself in her room for the inevitable goed cry. The better to indulge in this luxury she got into a wrapper and cuddled down on the bed in the dark. A3 yet her feelings of indignation and resentxn<^it were stronger than her anxiety, for Robert was a good sailor, and there was neither fog nor storm to--jight to make it dangerous on the water, and so she thought more of the comments which would be made on his increasing intimacy wuu we wiuuiv than any danger to the party. "I believe I will go over to Watch Hill to-morrow. I'm sure I won't pose as the neglected wife, and there's no knowing what folly that woman will try to lead him into, though I don't eappose he could help going to-night. Here her thought. grew indistinct, and the a-ext thing she knew she v.ae aroused from whr.t might have been a long and sound nap b and herself still alone. She struck a light. Past midnight, and all was quiet below stairs, but outside the wind was howling. It was a real gale now. and every little while the hotel would tremble ail through, in spite of the iron cables which chained it to the rocks. It was fearful to think that Eobert was somewhere out in the storm, ard that nothing could be done until daybreak, and not even then if the gaie continued, a3 the hotel's pleasure boats were not built to face such a wind. There would be no use in arousing anyone eise; she mu.~t just wait patiently until the household should be stirring, and she could advise with some of the gentlemen. But, oh, the loneliness of that vigil! To her dying day she never forgot it. To think how angry she had been only a few honN ago about that wretched note! To be sure, he hada t known it, but she felt -just as remorseful as if she had put her feelings into words and had scolded him well. v> hat if he had, for lack of other amuse- ments, drifted into an idle flirtation? Any- way, it didn't matter now. By-and-bye the darkness was all gone, and various noises told of the beginmng or another day 3 business. As soon as she thought the office would be open, Mrs. Colter was downstairs endeavouring to get some comfort from the clerk's assurance that a catamaran was never known to capsixe- Through the field-glass they could see that there v.as no catamaran lying at the docx on the nearest Connecticut shore, but it might have been driven across the five miles of water separating them from Fisher's Ifiland. The gale etili continued, so that it was not considered safe for anyone to leave the island in a sailboat. There was nothing to do but to sit patiently and watch from the piaaza for an approaching boat. Mr. Dagail had, with the other guests, tendered his sympathy, but had too mush tact to remind her of last even- ing's proj ect. Slowly the hours crept away until nearly noon, when, sud-lenly the temporary holder of the- g-t-a. aamounc-ed tha.t the Pig, a small Terry boat rucming between Fisher's Island and the Connecticut shore, was about starting oat from the island, and if the runaways had found a harbour there they would get the Pig's cap- tain to bring them over. Everyone he-1.me excited then, and the Pig's slD"; progress'was breathlessly v.at-ched. It was very rough, and several timea she seemed on the point of turning back. but, still, she struggled on, al,rt by-and-bye something like a woman's feather-crowned hat was discovered in the pilot house, the only spot sheltered from the wind. Yets, there wore two of them, and now there is baawikerchicf waving? No doubt about it now. The Pig was almost at the dock, and there was a ha.y exodus from the piazya of the age gnests. Bat Milly would not risk a gcenc in public. Sc. rarI away to her avfn room, where in a few minutes liobert came to her, and was cried over and petted as though he h-td heen absent year instead of a night. "Why, my dear," said be, "any one would suppose I wad a long-lost treasure, instead of a mere commonplace husband." "Oh, it's all very well for you to joke about it. I suppose while I was almost crazy with anxiety yon were having a good time flirting with the widow." "Then you were never more mistaken in your life, Milly. The widow woaldnt speak to me at all. You see. she gave me a note a.t breakfast time yesterday to deliver to Scunner, and I forgot all about it, and so cheated her out of an afternoon's walk, and almost made a quarrel between them. But it's all right now. I ma-de all apology, and Sumncr made a proposal, I believe, for they announced this ihornirig that they're engaged." "Yoa don't mean it. Eob? What a iokel" And to this day Mr. Colter doesn't know why Milly should have fallen upon him with a second shower of kisses on hearing of Mrs. T.<eeaon's engagement. For that sly little woman eaid to herself, "So that note wasn't for Roo at all. and I came near making a fool of myself for nothing. But he never shall know it." And she went down to Innch. and, woman- like, proceeded to snab Dugall for being the  t tho e-vening recipient of her encouragement tho evening before. Bnt she made a pretty little speech of congratulation to the widow, and thanked her stars that she had put the note back into Rob's pocket and held her tongue until he had had his L-ay.

"I have always felt that a locomotive was entitled to a, great deal of credit for stick- ing to the track instead of snorting up and down the country roads like an automobile." Smith: Excuse me.

QUARRYING SUBSIDENCE AT CEFN CEMETERY. ISOLATION HOSPITAL AND WORK- MEN'S DWELLINGS. A meeting of the Mo-rthyr Borough Ooomcil was held on Monday, Mr. D. W. Jones (mayor) pr>esidin-?.—-The Town-ball committee reported that the borough surveyor had sub- mitted a plan showing a proposal to utilise tho judge's court as a police-court, county- court. and council-chamber, and tliat they had instructed the borough surveyor to sub- mit a new plan on fresh lines which they bad suggested. The m mutes of the last meeting of the eeaaeterles committee contained a report by Mr. Thaekerray (the deputy-borough pur- Teyor) saying that port of the wall on the smith aide of Cefn Oeanetery ha4 given way throat the quarrying operations on the adjoining estate, and through cutting away rook too near the margin of the wall. The wall had fallen into the deep quarry, carry- ing with it a (juanrttty of ea/rth from the oeanetery. If the slip had occurred a little nearer the main road the amount of earth that would have fallen would have taken a number of graves and laid bare many human remaine. The committee had givon directions to put up a temporary fence and to request the owner of the quarry to re-build the wall. A &ub-oonamittee of the health committee reported the receipt of a letter from the clerk to the Glamorgan County Council say- ing that the oouncil were not prepared to alter the condition upon which they had agreed to make a contribution to the Jfardy Isolation Hospital, viz.. that, two additional pavilions should be erected by the corpora- tion within two years from the opening of the hospital. The surveyor had estimated the coat Of building the two pavilione at 15,950, exclusive of furnishing, and the health com- mittee reeoHHtteioded that the corporation proceed with their erection.—After some dis- cussion, however, it was decided to refer the matter back to the committee. A letter was read from Messrs. Thomas, a,nd Daviee, solicitors, Merthyr, asking the corporation to surrender the site they had acquired for the building of workmen's dwellings at Danyderi in order to enable a client to put up houses thereon by private spec111atiou.-By a majority of one it was determined that the seal of the corporation be affixed to the agreement for lease of the ground. The council rejected a proposal to erect a public oonvenieace, with two lavatories and oa^ataier's office, under the news-room at the Town-hall, the estimated cost of which was £ 303. The Barl of Plymouth and Mr. D. A. Thomas, M.P., wrote acknowledging the rcoaipi. of tihe resolution passed by the cor- poration as to the Territorial and Beeerve Forces Act, and promising to give it their best oocsideraitioii. Mr. Thomas alao pro- mieed to give hia best consideration to a resolution of bhe council in relation to the taxation of land values. -——————-————

FOOTBALL. SWANSEA DISTRICT NORTHERN I UNION CLUB. PROMISING CAREER ANTICIPATED. Mr. E. L. Willia-ms, of Eagle-chambers, Swansea, the principal promoter of Northern Union football in the Swansea district, stated to a nowspilper man on Monday:— We have leased the plot of ground known as The Park,' Gorseinon, for five years, with the option of continuing for a further fifteen years. It is a good spot-fiv-e acres and a half in extent--and when properly arranged will accommodate between 20,000 and 30,000 people. We are the sub-leesees, but the agreement has been properly drawn up. Up to date we have had offers of more than £ 1,000. As a matter of fact, vre have plenty of money to start with. We will, however, float a eomny, and issue shares a.t 10s. each. ThiB wiU give the working men a chance of coming in." Questioned as to the desiraibality of Gors- einov ae a centre, he said: "The argument that because Gorseinon could not run a league 04ub we cannot run a first-ciaes pro- fessional club is absurd. We don't intend to provide league football." Which me-ans "t you will have a first- class team P Certainly. Since Saturday I have had four applications for the inside half position.

PI ays and Players I NEW THEATRE PANTOMIME Entering upon its fifth week at the New Theatre, Cardiff, the pantomime of Jack the Gi ant Killer" continues its successful run. It has been patronised by large audiences. On Monday evening there was again a good house, which accorded a hearty welcome to the new features that have been introduced to vary the piece. Miss Katie Vesey's two new songs, We can't do wit,hout a girl," and "Put me amongst the girls," were encored with the greatest of enthusiasm. Altogether Mies Yesey played her part with gTace and finish. Mr. CiilIord Morg-an was delightfully funny as King Marvel." a.nd thoroughly deserved the hearty greeting which was Accorded him. The Stella Troupe of dancers and the Twelve Dutch Dolls add much to the attractiveness of a splendid fairy and musie.al pantomime. Those who have not yet seen the pantomime ought to make an early Yisit to the New Theatre. I "The Idol of Paris" The drama presented at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, this week is one full of excitement and interest. Entitled "The Idol of Paris," it deals with society and Bohemian life in the French capital. Its principal character is a star at a. Parisian music-hall. This part is admirably played by the celebrated melodramatic actress, Miss Annie Bell. Mr. George Denham plays well as her husband, and others of a strong company who deserve mention are Mr. Gordon Robey, Mr. Chris. Roberts, Miss Grace Noble, and Miss Esther Carthew. h Moses and Son at Cardiff Empire One of Mr. Fred Karno's sketches tops the bill at the Cardiff Empire this week, and a very good sketch it i3. Indeed, it ie rightly described as Mr. Karno's latest and greatest creation. The sketch, entitled Moees and Son," has been written and arranged by Messrs. Fred Karno, Fred Kitchen, and Harold Catty, with the music composed by Dudley Powell. 4Ir. Albert Bruno is the central figure. All the other principal artistes are of ability, and include the Misses ivoah Morris, Kate Forster, Rosa Abrahams, and Madge Rockingham, and Mr. Herbert Lan- deck. Mainly humorous, there is aleo some pathos in the story in the shape of a love1 drama, wherein "Moses, junior," and a lady typist are the participants. Mr. Albert Bruno, as "Perkins," is very funny. A new and original comedy illusion, "The Enchanted Iona," is given by Charles Prazer and com- pany. It is amazing and amusing. Sandford and Lyons, cross talkers and simultaneous dancers,, pay a return visit, and, as usual. met with a most flattering reception. Harry Anderson, the comedian, was highly enter- taining with his latest success, "The Treasure a.t the Bottom of the Sea." Not the least interesting turn of the evening was a bioscopic picture, entitled "The Pearl Fisher." Loo Stormont sang an illustrated song, "Adeline." and recited a poem, "England for the English." The other artistes were Fred Frampton, burlesque actor; F-robel and Ruge, aerial comedy artistes; and Winnie Derson, songstress. The Zancigs at Newport Empire I A good deal of interest was manifested at the popular Charles-street house on Mon- day night in the performance of the Zan- cigs, the mysterious oouple who create a sensation by reading each other's thoughts. A bright and amusing musical sketch, depict- ing the doings at a pic-nic party, is that given by Daley, Cooper, and Co., finding favour in all parts of the house. Harry Clifford, "the tired comedian," made a wel- come re-appearanoe, and his drollery was highly appreciated. The Sutcliffe Troupe give a clever cOntribution as acrobats, pipers, and dancers. Sketches from Dickens An outstanding feature at Stem's Panop- ticon, Cardiff, 011 Monday evening was the high success gained by Mr. Bert Williams in character studies from the works of Ghartee Dickeos. The popular elocutionist found favour with H-a clever pourtrayals of Daniel Quilp" and "The Old Grandfather." The bioscope pictures are, as usual, highly interesting and humorous. The Golden Oask'jt" is D. well-coloured production with maigio surprises. Mr. Harry Lewis, Miss Iris Tromaiaae, amd -I,LT. J-ames White, the ob,ami,M(>n clog daneer of W ales, also con- tri-bate to a delightful programme. Palaca, Cardiff Harris and Worth, a particularly smart pair of comedians and dancers, open the programme at the Cardiff Palace and Hippo- drome this week with some clever gags and dancing. Hainia performs some astonishing juggling'tricks, which include the balancing of a billiard-table on the chin. An accept- able oomedy sketch, entitled "Ye Brown Co,, Inn," is admirably presented by Messrs. Burg, Hand, and Wise. Some novel and clever at age effects are introduced. Popular Rose Elliott gives a trio of delightful songs,: the most popular, perhaps, being" Boy Blue, a pretty and effective chorus song.' Kioto performs Bomo extraordinary equili- bristic feats in a manner which brings the house down." Rastus and Banks, a clever duet of coloured coons, give a taking performance. The latter dances in a remarkable manner. Tom Leamore ffuc- ceeded on Monday evening in keeping his audiences convulsed with laughter. He is very droll in his tale about Eliza," but his most popular item was the burle6que redta- tion.
FATAL SIGNALLING ERROR i
FATAL SIGNALLING ERROR An inquest was held at Ystrad Rhondda on Monday as to the death of Edward Emer- son, who wa's run over by a journey of trams at the No. 8 Pit, Tyiorstown (Messrs. D. Davies and Sons). The evidence was that a mistake had been made regarding the sig- nalling between the engine-driver and the rider, the former accepting a word of mouth instruction instead of the usual signals in vogue in the mine. The result was that the unfortunate man was overtaken and killed. The Coroner (Mr. R. J- Rhys) commented on the danger of accepting signals by shout- ing. Many accidents resulted from the practice. A verdict of "Accidental death" was returned. Deceased leaves a widow, and it is a pain- ful circumstance that he was only married last month.

I J- ( J.. Nervous Strain, Sleeplessness    A remarkable chapter from life has reached us from a corresponded who is one of those men who have been through unusual nerve shatter ing experiences. Daily risking his life as a submarine engineer, an realising how many lives depended on his steady nerve and resource, i is not surprising that Mr. Williams found the ceaseless strain was teUin upon him to such an extent that he feared his self command wou! desert him and precipitate a disaster. He suffered from excessiv( lassitude in the daytime, and when he did get some sleep it wa troubled and disturbed, and he awoke unrefreshed and langiii? Fortunately his attention was directed to the efficacy of Phosferine a a nerve-building specific and upon giving the tonic a trial he wa agreeably surprised to discover his nerve power restored and increase so substantially that he was no longer a nervous wreck and his dutie ceased to cause him either distress or anxiety. Really driven away entirely. Mr. W. A. Williams, 85, Crownfield Road, Stratford New Town, writes —"From 1905 till a few months ago, I was electrician in the submarin- boat Volta," built by the British Submarine Company of London During my stay with the firm I was engaged from time to time submerging and running trials; being the chief electrician, the full responsibility of bringing the crew safely to the surface of the water and successful run- ning of the boat fell on my shoulders; this I found a great strain at times, and had I allowed it to get the better of me, would have probably resulted in a serious accident. I used to suffer from sleepless nights and excessive lassitude of a day which threatened to make me give up. When I did manage to get some sleep it was troubled and disturbed and I awoke unrefreshed and languid. I happened to read one of your Phosferine adver- tisements in a daily paper and I decided to give your remedy a trial, which I have great pleasure in stating completely cured me apd enabled me to complete my contract with the Company, and when it terminated, I was well and strong and not like the nervous wreck I expected to be after many exciting times and perilous risks in a submarine boat. If my unsolicited testimony to the worth of Phosferine is of any value to you, I give you full permission to make use of same. August 26, 190 7 PHOSFERINE The Greatest of all Tonics.
