fo-Day's Short Story. ONE HAPPY HOUR. ONE HAPPY HOUR. Good-bye, Lor a. Amuse yourself the best you can. while we are away!" cried. Mrs. Van Hanten. Good-bye," said Lora. The carriage door clicked, the man in livery sprang to his seat, the horsesjd ashed down the drive, and they were off. Lora gave a. long sigh. One—two—thi'eJ days—perhaps a week of freedom. Mrs. Van Houten was very capricious, as it became all scions of the aristocracy to be. She might come home from Brighton to-morrow. It would depend upon her mood, over which there was no earthiy nor heavenly control. Lora sometimes imagined there was a power under the earth which had some influence. Almost at the last moment Mrs. Van Houten had decided to take the French maid instead of Lora. little Corinne's governess. So there was nobody left in the great house but Uncle Phil, Mrs. Van HoTit-en'd brother, a good, kind-hearted old fellow whose business aways kept him in town, and the under-servants. The lord and master had been away shooting for a month, and nobody knew-or cæred much—when he would return. Lora sank into a low seat by the window over-loking the Thames valley, with a feeling of relief. Such a sense of freedom she had not felt for three years during her term of servitude as governess. The light of the late afternoon revealed a face to puzzle one who looked upon it. Young or old it was hard to fAY. Perhaps twenty, perhaps 30. Dark brown hair, with a tinge of Titian colour in it, and which rippled in spite of close brushing, was gathered into a severe knot low in her neck. The face was pale—too pa-le, and dark rings outlined a pair of eyes which one might have sworn were capable of almost anything. But their habitual look was one of studied coldness and reserve. Tito heiad was proud and weil-^et. Her dresb of dark grey seemed made to conceal the out- lines of her figure. That she was tall and graceful in every movement could not be concealed. Rather distinguished looking for a gover- ness," had been Mr. Van Houten's comment upon first seeing her. She was also companionable and refined in such a measure that she pleaded Mrc. Van Houten s exquisite sense, and in three years had made herself a necessity to her. Not that the lady appreciated her maid and companion, or for ore moment ecu- sidered her her equal. Such women only reckon one s station by money or birth. Education and refinement have no value. yold dug out of the dirt takes precedence immeasurably over nobility of soul. It was so still all over the great house that Lara. could hear the clock at the head of the stairs measuring away the time in sturdy strokes Two robins in the elm tree were discussing the weather. A branch of -crimson resell swayed toward the window, and beat their fragrant breath against the stone casement. Afar through the tree tops the Surrey hills stretched aiong the horizon, and one little silvery streak of the bending Thames was discernible through the shrubbery. "Alo>ne—alone'" cried the girl, springing from her seat. Nobody in all the world —nobody—to care what I do or where I go cr what becomes of me. And to-day I saw him—was near him! I thought my heart was dead, that life was good enough, that I could live on 1JlÍs way fnr ever and ,1.eVir care. But now—— She was- moving about like a wild creature, her cheeks crim»o"n. her eves flashing, her whole frame quivering with excitement. With a sudden movement she unfastened her heavy hair, which fell in a shining ma-s about her shoulders. She opened the high collar at her throat and turned it away, revealing a neck white as alabaster. Could that girl before the mirror be the governess who had öaid good-bye but a half-hour since? This intense, glorious, brilliant creature, metamorphosed in an instant by the power of the soul within, was not. could not be, the pale, grey creature cf an hour ago! "Poor child! Poor Lor a she sighed. 81w bent forward to kiss the reflection of her face. Nobody loves you, nobody would care if < were dead. It is very hard! But to- night you shall have one happy hour. You shaJl goto town, the ball—to the maqUfnlde'l Once more you shall dance with him as you did once on the banks of the Rhine. Then you were an heiress—then you had a father to idolise and protect you. Then you were beautiful, and he loved you. now you are Beautiful, but dees he love you?" At ten o'clock that night there wa: a sen- nation in a certain West-end ballroom— ¡ among the men, chiefly. There had just stepped in. unattended, a taJl^white figure which stood out from the gay crowd like a ¡ snowy lily in a garden of roses. Her bare arms, her neck, the poise of her head, the lithe grace of her body, were of the old Greek type preserved for us in the statues of Praxiteles. "By Jove! Bromwell, who is that superb creature? Don't the other women look like dumps beside her? That figure, just as she stands there, is a dream, a poem! I wonder if it can be Mias Clearet? Or, maybe, it is one of the Montagu party!" Jack Bromwell, the gayest and handsomest man of his set, was looking at the stranger with his heart in his eyes. I "There's the little colonel speaking to her. We must be presented. They are going to dance—Ah!" His partner, a gay little shepherdess, found Jack preoccupied. You are watching the snow-maiden," she whispered in his ear. I befieve she is not real at all; that she will vanish suddenly from the room. How she does dau.ce! She seemil a part of the music, does she not? Oh, to be tall, like that! The men so admire a tall woman." Bromwell collected himself sufficiently to whisper something that made a little pink flush show itself under the edge of ner mask. Half the women in the room were dying to dance with Bromwell. Speak of the in- fluence of a beautiful woman in society! It does not at all compare with the influence of a handsome, masculine man. As half the women were ambitious for his favour so just that proportion were indig- nant when he led the white figure to the floor for a waltz. The witching waltz music—what is like it in a.ll the universe? The girl trembled as she yielded herself to his arms. Like a flower bent in the wind, like a white sail upon a passionate sea, she moved to the music as it sobbed and whispered and throbbed about them. Dearest!" "It was only one word her companion spoke, but she quivered from head to foot. "Hush! Do not speak, but follow me after this dance." If heaven can bow down to earth to hold one lonely soul in its happiness for one half hour it did that for Lora. The madness or life, overshadowed by unfulfilled longings for Love, was upon her at flood tide. The music flooded her soul, her very being, with longings she had never known. Her lover's arms were abour her, his face eloee to her own, his brearh on her cheek. The past dropped away like a garment. Only one white night upon the banks of the Chine remained in memory. It was but yesterday she had leaned so in 11ls arms—but yester- day! Jack Bromwell followed her, at the close of the dance, through the deserted parlours to a smaU balcony where they were quite alon^. When he had closed the door she caught away her mask with a quick gesture, jMici turned her face towards him in the moonlight. Eloise, my Eloise!" he cried. Klo'ise, my darling—my Jife-my Poor little J girl!" is-he visas sobbing in his anns. while he 'kissed her hair, her eyes, her lips, her throat. He had no wife, no child, no interest beyond the present. He loved thLs girl. he had always loved her. She was his, and ha was hers. For one ha/pipy hour they looked backward, and then, as we all are forced to do by fate, they faced the .future. Duty rang the death knell of all their hopes. One letter had tailed to reach her while travelling in Europe. Prom so slight a cause happiness would fail them both for a lifetime. I have had my hour, sweetheart. I knew it would be but one little hour, but the mamory of it will be so sweet that I shall 1J.r, brave enough for whatever ooms in the future. You must go back to your wife and Txtby. I will go b<i :k to my work. And maybe some úay, when we are both dead, things may be different. Good-bye." A kiss, a heart-broken cry, and then it was ail over. When Mrs. Van Houten returned in two days, "he found the little grey governess waiting for her at the door, a, little paler, perhaps, but with her usual look of calm and serenity. "I see the Bromwelis have returned to Paris, and Jack has gone to visit Africa," said Uncle Phil from behind his paper at the tea-table.

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES Obeeee grated on slices of broad and butter, sprinkled lightly with curry powder and cayenne, is very savory. Sausage meat (steamed three or four hours in a saucepan of boiling water) makes excellent sandwiches. A Good Simnel Cake Mix about lib. flour, jib. butter, lib. currants, £ lb. granulated sugar, 2oz. of can- died. lemon peel, a small quantity of carbonate of soda, and a well-beaten egg, with a little warm milk, which helps to make the cake lighter and keep better. Bake in a tin about an hour in a moderate oven. Rolled Herrings A difficulty is often felt in introducing herrings at dinner on account of the number of small bones in them, hut this is obviated by the following method of dressing: Choose herrings with soft roes, scrape and wa.h them, cut off the heads, split open, take out the roes, and cleanse the fish. Hold one in the left hand, and with thumb and tingir of the right press the backbone to loosen it, then lay flat on the beard and draw out the bone. Dissolve a little fresh butter, pass the innor side of the fish through it, sprinkle pc-pper and salt lightly over, then roll it up tightly with the fin and tail outwards, roil it in flour, and sprinkle a little peppt-r and salt, then put a small game-skewer to keep the herring in shape. Fry them quickly for ten minutes in a wire basket. Take them up, and drain well before the fire. Pass the roes through flour mixed with pepper and salt, fry them brown, and garnish the fish with roes and crisp parsley-

Heroic Little Girl LOST HER LIFE SAVING THE BABY Mr. W. L. Yoraih (Cardiff city coroner) held an inquest on Monday evening on he body of Clara Vere de Vere Wicks (9), daugh- ter of Frederick Wicks, of Cycle-street. The child on Saturday afternoon was in the road- way, and was knocked down by a lorry driven by a man employed by Messrs. Naiah and Co., sweet manufacturers, Harpur-street. Mr. A. Parsons (instructed by Mr. Evan Da vies) a.ppeared for Messrs. Naish and Co. and the Royal Insurance Company, and Mr. Herbert Samuel was in attendance on behalf of the relatives. A little girl named Alice Lippman, who. was with deceased, said the little baby in I deceased's custody ran across the road. Clara went after the child, picked the boy up, and made as if to return to the oppo- site pavement. She was knocked down and run over The man in the van shouted. Dr 'Spenoer Watkins said death was from shock and hemorrhage. William Arthur Watson, the driver of the lorry, explained that he was oa his left-hand side, going at a steady trot, when he saw a boy with a hand-truck in front. Witness drew out to the right to pass, and so got on to the tram lines. As he was drawing in again to hit left he noticed deceased run across towards him with a baby in her arms. He put the brake on and pulled up promptly, but she ran into the left shaft, and before he could pull up the wheels ran over her. He shouted and pulled to the right. He did not see the baby run across the road. Under examination by Mr. Herbert Samuel, witness persisted that the horse was going at a steady trot. He did not know exactly what took place before the child ran against the shaft, but he denied that he was going at a high rate of speed Mr. Samuel: Can you furnish any satis- factory explanation why you could not see the child?—Xo. The jury returned a verdict that the child was killed accidentally. They also found tiiaft the driver had been guilty of certain negligence, which did not, however, a.mount to oulpable negligence, but they thought the man should be censured. Addressing the driver, the Coroner told him his evidence was unsatisfactory, and that he had escaped from a serious position, for it might have been his (the coroner's) unplea- sant duty to have handed him over to the custody of the police, arraigned on the charge of manslaughter. He advised him to be more careful how he drove about the streets. The Coroner, on his own behalf, and also on t,hat of the jury, tendered sympathy to Mr. Wicks in his sad bereavement.

I Cat-o'-Nine-Tails I HOW THE WHIP IS APPLIED The public imagination has been touched during the past fourteen days by the "cat" sentences of Mr. Justice Lawrence at the Cardiff Assizes, and public curiosity has been aroused as to t-he manner and method by vhicjl these sentences are carried into effect. It is generally supposed that the cat-o'-nine- tails is a whip of nine leather thongs or lashe. and that the skin of the wretched culprit's back i.s so badly cut by every stroke of the lash that at the end of the process it is a bleeding mass of flesh. -STine people out of ten are ako unçlr the impression that so great is the p-ain^nflirted that the "patient" collapses or swoons away into unconscious- nes after the first few lashes have been given, and Liiat finally he has to be taken to the prison hospital for medical treatment. The "cat.' bad as it is, is not quite so bad as that. but its effect is ruch that once a man --as felt it he seldom becomes a candi- date for a. second dose. Therein lies its value as the greatest and most lasting deterrent to crime, and its curative qualities may be truly said to be incomparable. Prisoners who are sentenced to be lashed are not kept long in suspense once they have been lodged in the prison. About the second day after his admission the prisoner is brought from his cell and is quietly told that the cat is about to be administered. He is stripped to the waist, and his wrists and ankles are fastened with straps to a kind of easel. His arms are extended by means of a pulley which pulls up the chains to which the wristlets 4re attached until the arms are well, but not uncomfortably, extended. A strong board is fixed on a level with his chest so that he cannot bend his body to avoid the full force of the lash. Before the lashing is commenced a well-padded leather yoke is fixed over his shoulders to prevent any injury being done to his neck. It should have been saad that before he leaves his cell he is medically examined, and the doctor decides whether he is physically fit to undergo the punishment or not. If there is any suspicion of heart weakness, or if the doctor thinks the shock would be too great, then the prisoner is spared the lash, but very, very rarely does the doctor's preroga- tive set ftside the sentence of the judge, most of the ruffians who are brought to the easel j being men of strong physique. Weaklings are not successful at the game of robbery with violence. The Nine-tailed Whip. everything being in readiness, the warder steps forward with the nine-tailed whip in his hand. The handle of the whip is about three feet long, and each lash measures a-bout four feet in length. The lashes are made of stout whip-cord, the ends of which are closely bound with very fine cord, so as to prevent them, becoming unravelled. The warder measures his .distance, taking care that he stands far a.nd near enough to ensure the lashes covering the man's back. Then the governor of the prison, who superintends the operation. calls out, "One," and the nine tails are swished across the bared back with unsparing force. The prisoner winces, and, as n, rule, mutters a suppressed squeal. Two," calls the governor, and again the nine thongs are slashed across lie stein. And thus the process proceeds until the full number ordered has been given, and the criminal is promptly released. In all case-s the back is badly bruised, and in most cases blood is drawn, but the skin is not cut so terribly as mcst people seem to imagine. Mcst of the flogged ones have their backs medically dressed, and carry the marks of their punishment for three or four weeks. Not only is the punishment severe in itself, but no criminal is so utterly degraded that he does not feel most keenly the terrible humiliation of it, and this, probably, explains why robbery with violence in Liverpool, for instance, has diminished by 80 per cent. since the cat was introduced there. Cardiff stands to benefit in the same degree by the salutary sentences of Mr. Justice Lawrence. It need only be added that no special warders are employed for this particular duty, and if there are any more prospective candidates for the" cat" in Cardiff, they will be interested to know that some of the warders in the Cardiff Prison are most expert in their handling of the whip.

BOXING I "Tiger" Smith Again Beaten At the Folies Bergeres, Paris, on Sunday Walter Stanton, of California, beat "Tiger" Smith, of Merthyr, in nine rounds. The men met to box twenty rounds with 5oz. gloves The "Tiger'' is anxious to convey to the sportsmen of Pans who applauded his efforts on Sunday his thanks for the splendid treat- ment he received. "Tiger" Smith was only sorry that he was unable to show tal cFre D'ch people his best form. He travelled from Wales on the Thursday, left Oharing Cross on Friday afternoon, had a wretched crossing, and was very sick. He was practically without sleep from Friday till Sunday morning, when the contest took plaee. This information was given by Alf Harry, the "Tiger's" only com- ment being: "I have nothing to complain about; everything was perfect; only I want to box Stanton again. I think I can beat him." To tliow how greatly M. Barlatier appreciated the qualities of the Englishman, he entered into a contract with him to engage in three boxing contests between May 2 and Juno 7. Tiger is anxious (says the Sporting Life") to make the third boolt of the aeries a match with Stanton.

The whole of the twenty rounds were contested, and the referee (Sergeant :M:'faE:r, Merthyr) gave .Ms decision in favour of Kendrick on points, after a, most I spirited contest

Carroll's Challenge ACCEPTED BY PETER WRIGHT Exciting Wrestling Match at Cardiff The: e has been a revival in wresting, and the Cardiff Palace management, with their usual enterprise, have secured the engage- ment of the t:a,mous Carrol Is (Jce and Jack). There was intense excitement at the second perfor.manc.e last night when Councillor Jf Liter Wright, of .Newport, resisted « fall by Joe- Carroll fo,r fifteen minutes, C',Lt-rotl thus foleiliilg 110. Wright had to act on the defensive right through the contest, and several times got a hold upon Carroll with his legs, and, despite tremendous effort, the latter could not throw the Welsh chanip-on. Mr. Humphreys, Oa,rroHB manager, spoke to the wrestleri3 as if there had been some infringement of the rules, and the Ueksider, after breaking away from his opponent, seemed to resent this interruption. The contest was resumed, it ha,ving then lasted ten minutes, amid tremendous excite- ment. When Jim Dtriscoll announced that the con- test had lasted thirteen minutes Carroll set about his work in earnest, but the wrestlers rolled off the mat right in front of the foot- lights, both their feet becoming entangled with the footiiglit wires. The referee endea- voured to separate the men without success, and while they were struggling" here Jim Driscoll, who was timekeeper, announced tha.t the contest had lasted fifteen minutes. The mcn continued struggling, but the a-eteree separated them and paid Coun- cillor Wright the 110 amid tremendous cheering, Carroll desired to wrestle the Welshman again, but 31,T. Arthur Eurton, the Palace mianaigea-, stated that there was no time. Mr. Humphreys, Carroll's manager, said he thought it hardly fair for Wright to take the money, as the latter was so much heavier than Carroll, but this was not approved of by the audience. Carro-11 then threw out a challenge to throw Peter Wright in thirty minutes, the match to be for £ lo a-side. The Usksider accepted this offer, adding that if he wan he. would liand the m^mey over to the Cardiff Infir- mary.

That is public opinion, and it is quite capably expressed by Charles Bailey, the ex- Salvation Army Officer, whose successful adoption of a stage career caused a considerable sensation. Unaccustomed to the severe nervous strain of entertaining hundreds of people nightly, Mr. Bailey found the work intensely exhausting, and the feeling of nervous collapse and lassitude became so acute that it was plain unless the strain was relieved he could not follow up his successes. Adopting the advice of his manager, Mr. Bailey tried a course of Phosferine, and derived such immediate and permanent relief, and -such a remarkable increase of nerve force that he was able to continue without a break those signal successes so familiar to our readers. Promptly and Finally Removed. Charles Bailey, Garrick House, York Buildings, Aldephi, Strand, writes —"As an ex-Salvation Army ofifcer, you will probably recollect that my > appearance in the role of a public entertainer caused something of a sensation. In my new surroundings I found that the nervous strain of playing to two great audiences nightly was really very exhausting work. I soon knew that to keep it up I must find means to renew my energy or lose the prominence I had gained. I eagerly sought for a remedy, but obtained no relief, until my manager recommended me to try your Phosferine.' I followed his advice and have benefitted in such a sub- stantial and permanent manner that I am sure Phosferine is the best all round medicine that can be taken. When one is run down and feeling the severe tax of entertaining and interesting hundreds of people nightly, as it were, Phosferine will do marvels in restoring the nerve forces, and dispelling the craving for unhealthy stimulants. For the feeling of collapse I' and lassitude whic ? follows excessive nervous activity, there is not as good a preventive and remedy as Phosferine to be found anywhere PHOSFERINE The Greatest of all Tonics. & PROYEN REMEDY for Nervous Debility, Influenza, Indigestion, Sleeplessness, Neuralgia, Premature Decay, Backache, Mental Exhaustion, Lassitude, Brain-Fag, Rheumatism, and all Disorders consequent upon a reduced state of the nervous system T.r!!bYO!.1 Kings iff Pboaferine has been supplied by Royal Commands ]MiW?

The grey matter of the brain is controlled entirely by the inorganic cell-salt, Potassium Phosphate. This salt unites with albumen and, by the addition of oxygen, creates nerve fluid, or the grey matter of the brain. Therefore, when nervous symptoms arise, the phosphate of potassium is the only true remedy, because nothing else can possibly supply the deficiency. The ills arising from too rapidly consuming the grey matter of the brain cannot be over-estimated. The beginning and end of the matter is to supply the lacking principle exactly as Nature furnishes it in '? vegetables, fruits and grains." I The Biochemic System of Medicine," by Dr. Geo. W. Carey.
