To-Day's Short Story.
To-Day's Short Story. MR. ADAMS' ADVENTURE. It was soon after the close of the war of the revolution that William Adams moved with his wife and child from their home in Massachusetts to that part of the State of New York through which the Susqu^hannali1 runs its beautiful and tortuous course. Alter weeks of wearisome and dangerous travel through an almo"t unbroken wilder- ness they reached their protective home, a tra-cr, of land covered with timber in its j virgin state, but which then offered greater! to the agriculturist than New England. Here they cleared the land and built their rude house of the logs of the forest, and began to till the ;.oi1. I Neighbours were few in this then sparse'y settled country, and Mr. Adams and his little j family had to depend largely upon thorn- selves for social enjoyments and everything tha.t more thickly settled communities give to individual families. But little did they mind theie privations, i for they were intent upon making a home free from encumbrances, and had little time for anything but the work which .must be j done. After the house was built t!.L'fC was the land to be cleared and the timber disposed of. the planting and sowing of the crops of 1 eoro, rye, and cat*, that were to supply them with the necessities of life: so their neighbours, the nearest of whom wa nearly a mile distant, seldom saw them unless it was at the little log meetiug-housc—also used a.3 a school-house—on occasions when the pu,i,pit W3,.g occupied by a travelling Methodist preacher. But everything WCn-, wel! in the Adams houte, and the end of a lew- years fOlmd t-hcni in a happy and prosi;2rc-us condition. Wild animals were to be found in the forests, arid stories of their trcu",ine devastations among the neighbouring farm- yards were often repeated; but with the ex- ception cr loiir.ar r.n occasional pig that Jb-appened to .-trtiy into- the woods in search of nuts in tb-e fall, or now and then a fowl that fell prey to sc-ie fox night, the Idanic. family had been riattieaHy undis- turbed by ar.y of them. Often had they he?.rd the cry of a panther in the distant woods, and noted the tracks of bears and other animals, and Ilr. Adams had or¡e shot a young cub while fishirg in a small porjd a short distance from their home. They always deemed it prudent to carry firearms with ihera when verturing any dis- tance from home, nnd the good old flint Iocs ■was always a tru-ty companion while in. the fields at work, or when Mr. Adams drove the oxen to the -neighbouring village or went ro the mill with the loads of conl or rye. One fine October morning he loaded i ho cart with bags of grain, and after bidding good-bye to his wife and little Be-n, stfvrtcd go-ad-bye t?D hii w;fe on his journey to the mill, a distance of nearly seven milers over the hills and through the forests. lie found the miller and his assistant rery busy, .as the crops had been unusually abun- dant that year, and the mill was pile<i with bags and stacks of yellow grain awaiting its turn to be ground irto the meals and Hours that were to supply the neighbourhood. Mr. Adams took pleasure in vratehm-c the grain descend into the funnel-shaped hopper that fed the ponderous mill-stone which crashed the golden kernels beneath its mighty weight and returned it in the ishape of flour and msal. But as the day wore o-a and his grain wae still untouched he began to grow restless, <ui-d wandered out to the country store and bought such articles as would be needed home, amd. by way of luxuries, a new calico ure-a for Inp wife, a top for little Ben, and a paper of tobacco for himself. He knew the home folk would anxiously await his conning, and wa:th eagerly until 1w made his appearance: but it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon before he threw the loaded bags intq.Ijis cart and began the tells journey homeward. The ox-en travelled slowly before the i-oa-vily laden cart, and it was past sunset before he reached the feet of the long hill about two miles from home. He stopped the panting oxen often rirtria-g the ascent by tho rude and unfrequented roadway which w<junfl up the hillside, and 8i! he Beared the tcp he caught an excellent ■*13W of the now mooTilig.hu-il val-lev bent-ith. ■fcTha t a panorama wae spread out before him! The forest trees w-lrt, just beginning to change colour, and all the hues of the rainbow were reflected in the mocro-li-ght from the trees covering the hillsides and valley beneath, through which the. beautiful Stisquehainnah wound its silvery course. He stopped to admire tftr, soeno, but the j thought of the waiting ones at home put an end to his reverie, and he started the ozen 011 again. It was now past ten o'clock, and an hoar's journey still lay between him and the lights of home. He had been walking up the hillside beside the cart, to easu the oxen of his weight, but now that the summit was gained he once more took his seat on the load and started the animals at a more lively pace. He had begun to desoend a little slope which preceded a level stretch through the forests beyond, when, a sound greeted his ears which because of its familiarity caused him to tremble in (-very limb. lie had heard it before on different occasions, and in his pre- sent anxious aud excitable mood it struck terror into his hea.rt. He stopped and listened, but everything va-s still except, perhaps, the cry of an owl in the distance or the chirp of a tree-toad in the bushes which bordered the road. After travelling at a somewhat faster pace for a few moments the same sound again arrested him, and seemed, to his horror, to come from a nearer source than before. He could not be mistaken. It was the cry of a panther, and the animal, in all probability. had scented tne trail of the oxen and was in rapid pursuit. He had expected to return long before dark when he left home in the morning, and con- sequentiy had not taken the rifle, his usual companion. How he longed for the trusty weapon and chided himseif for his negli- gence But there was no time to be wasted- and once more he spurred on the weary oxen. But they could not travel at a much faster gait with such a heavy load, and they had gone but a short distance before the- sound of the pursuer's howls reached his cars again. The enemy was evidently gaining ground, and that very rapittiy, and as the poor man realised his dangerous position great drope of perspiration gathered on his brow. He was -now, perhaps, a mile from home, and was nearing a spot on a clearing made by one of the neighbouring settlers, where he had noticed as he parsed in the morning on hid way to the mill a pile of logs and brushwood was burning, and the thought occurred to him that nearly all animaJe were afraid of Arc. Could he reach the clearing befoTe he was overtaken by his foe he might find refilge behind a pile of burning logs and await the coming of daylight, when in all probability he would be safe. The howls of the animal now seemed to come from near the cart, and as be sighted the burning pile he fancied they came from directly beneath. The panther would, no doubt, Attack the oxen as scon as it reached thfm. and this would give him his oppor- tunity to take refuge behind the fortress of fire. As he noared the burnin.g brushwood he shout-ed to the oxen to stop, and, leaping from the cart ran frantically toward the pile of log: which was now reduced to bright, glowing embers. To bus surprise, when he found himself safe from barm, not a, sound disturbed the deathlike silence around him but the panting of the nearly exhausted oxen in the road beyond, and nothing with the out-ward appearance of all panther was visible in the brilliant moon- ]ight. Could ho have been .asleep and dreaming as he rode al0.ug? This seemed to be the only rational explanation of the matter to the perplexed jnan, but the jaded and panting oxen did not lend their testimony to sustain that theory. However, he once more cau.tiop.fMy ventured to the road, and, walking beside the cart, 1 resumed the jonrncy. Scarcely had the oxen beaut to their task again, when almost at "his Bide, and directly under the cart, resounded

John Brown sta-ied for (Cardiff, and the Irishmen, after an indifferent beginning, ) came away to the centre, where B I'll was f,-iveu possession by Randall Davies, and, .ft-er beating the ouT half, paeeed to Gwyn Nicho-lle, and the ball travelled via Spider to Flooks, who was brought down j before he could get fairly away. With a loose rush past Nicholls and Woods, the Irish forwards kicked over the line, and Donogliuc, following up at top speed, throw himself on the ball and scored an unconverted try. Play vac tame for some time after the kick- out, the ball being kept close until l-ew George gave a smart pass to Gwyn Xicholls, who raced down ou the right and passed to Ralph Thomas, who was pushed into touch on the Cork 25 line. Playing surprisingly well, the Irishmen r-az lied back to the centre, hut Cardiff returned to the attack, and Bilkill, after a clever, dodgy run. gave a, 10Il.g paes to Spiller. who slipped when starting to run and when an excellent chance for scoring presented it-self Cardiff could net get into their full f;t,I"Ïde in spite of some brilliant open'ngs made by Bush. Eventually, how-, ever, John Brown got ever from a line-out on t-he Cork goai-iine and Bush converted with a grand kick.

It was only the keen tackling of the Cork backs that kept down the scoring. Bush delighted the crowd with one of his prettiest corkscrew rune, and he was all but through when he was forced to pass to Nicholls, who was tackled before he could move. By a series of long kioks the Irishmen removed the pres- sure, and took play down to the Cardiff 25, where Oaf-ipy had a nasty smack on the head. Play had become very ragged and uninterest- ing. Oardiff's form being much beiow that which they displayed in the two previous matches. Try as they would, Cardiff could not add to their points until close on the end of the game, when Bush threaded his way through the Irish ranks with the most brilliant run of the match, and at the right moment parsed to Spiller, who ran round the posts with a try, which Bush easily con- verted.

Johnny Thomas, the famous Welsh Northern Union international half, assisted Merthyr. Dai Davies trioked the defence with a cork- screw run and soo>red a fine try for Ebbw Vale, which he also augmented. Bbbw VaJe were do.in? well, despite the heavy going, and Ilew Llewelyn and BeRingh"m, afwr long ruas. were only forced into touch in the nick of time. By loose footwork Merthyr relieved and forged ahead, and Edmunds failing to play the bail when collared on the Rubicon, Ebbw Vale were penalised, and Johnny Thomas placed a goal. HaJf-time score: G.

England gained the advantage from the tdirow in, s-s their right wimg took the ball down the field, but Crock fit t relieved. Then Robinscn sent down a shot which waa yards wide. After some even play Flanders (left back) secured, and sent in a long shot, which found the net, after some six minutes' play. On resuming England were again attacking, and tiie Eng- lish centre forward caught a shot, but his final effort was too high. Wales now woke up, and seme fine combinai. m in the for- ward line put the English goal in jeopardy, and they secured a corner, which was well placed, and, after some inter-passing in front of goal, one of the Welsh boys shot wide of the net with the curtodian hopelessly beaten. Some i#trong kicking1 by the English bacsa put play near the Welsh goal, but Pryde got the ball and made for goal, but one of the opposing back-1 kickcd out to touch to save.

From the throw in the English boys showed some pretty combination, but made little headway. Evane here secured and passed to Keenor, who shot wide. The Cymric lads were now playing a better game. but could not reduce the lead. Some fine combination by the forwards eaw play well in the English half. but landers and his colleague averted danger by their long kicking. The English lads started a fine movement, which Evans broke up, the result being that the Welsh forwards were able to get within shooting range, and a. long ehot by Thomas went a little wide of the mark. Play was now of an even character, but the Welsh forwards, taking advantage of a mis- take by the English halves, got away together and looked like ecormg, but Flan- d-ers had to concede a corner for his side, which thev cleared. Another visit was paid to the Welsh goal. and the Welsh custodian had a hot shot to deal with, and was penned in. with the result that Grinsdell put through easily. Keeping up the attack;, the English boys sent in a number of shots, one of which the Welsh custodian fumbled, and Radley, rashing up, put on the sixth goal. However, the English boys played with the same zeal. and attacked the Welsh citadel, but. the excellent judgment of Harry Crockett was clearly in evidence, with the result that the ball was sent down the field. But soon it was sent back, and the English centre forward, breaking away, put on the seventh goal, which might have been averted had the home custodian been in his place. On the resump- tion of the game the Welsh forwards showed some fine combination, and threatened the English goal. and the English had to conoede a. corner. This was only just saved in time by the English custodian. A fine run by the English forwards ended in a futile attempt at goal. Soon, however, the WeV-h pressed on the English goal, but the English right wing broke away, and scored the eighth goal, easily defeating Williams. the Welsh custodian. Now lone kicking was resorted to, and the .whistle blew with the Final score' G?a.ls. I England .li!. I Wales 0 REMARKS. I +- I Tne game was a preny oum taking the ground, which was covered with pools of water, into consideration, was very fast, the parsing of both sides being very accurate. The feature of the game was the fine play of the English backs, whose kicking left nothing to be desired. Both ha.1f lines proved very useful- The English boys adapted themselves to the conditions far better than the Welsh boys, and it was due to this that the wearers of the Rose were so successful. In the latter portion of the game Wales &howed a. stubborn defence, while their forwards were more methodical in attack.

I THE DEFEAT OF HACKENSCHMIDT1 Very bitter are the comments in America on the result of the Hackenschmidt-Gotch wrestling match now that cool judgment has taken the place of feverish excitement over an American victory. The New York papers are receiving hundreds of letters deprecating the conduct of Gotch on the mat and prais- ing Haokenschmidt for his manly endurance Mr. Walter Ht. Denis. of the "Globe" (New York), speaking of the match, says:- At first all were rea-dy proclaim Gotch the greatest wrestler, America or any coun. try ever produced. They were proud that he was an American, but when the true story of the bout became known they grew dis- gusted. Cotch was accused of doing every- thing a fair sportsman would not do. He was charged with violating many of the Tulf", of the game, and every accusation waa well based.

The rev. gentleman has recently been pre- ferred to the living of Caerwys, Flintshire. Mr. Evaii Davies, Who presided, paid Mr. Hyelop had devoted the beet years of his life to their service, and worked strenuously to build up the Welsh Clrurch in Co-rdiff- (applause)—'assisted by his good and devoted wife. (Hear, hea.r.) Amongst others who spoke appreciably were the Reve. Griffith Thomas (Church Defence lecturer in South Wales), T. E. Phillips (vicar of Skewen), Henry Morgan THE REV. R. E. A. HYSLOP, CARDIFF. (Newport), Thomas Davies (Peiityrch), and W. Eilir Evans (ail of whom have been col- leagues of Mr. Hys-lotp), Dr. Pritclutrd, M.r. Hugh Griffiths, and the Rev. Mr. Pugh (chap- lain of Cardiff Prison.) An illuminated address (composed in Welsh by the Rev. Edlir Evans, and executed by the Western Mail limited), was presented to the late vicar. The following is a traiisiation;- Rev. and dear sir. We avail ourselves cf the present occa- sion, on your departure from among us for the ancient vicariate of Caerwys, to present you with this address, and express our deep regret and best wishes that your appointmeuit to your new sphere may be fruitful of blessing both to you and your devoted wife. We re-call with gratitude the great work you have accomplished daring your stay of twenty years among us, and the success and conspicuous blessing which have crowned your efforts in every respect. We call to mind in a very special way the important pa.rt you played in the establish- ment of the Welsh Church in Cardiff, and your indofa-tiglble efforts in the face of immense difficulties in providing Eglwys Dewi Sant, free of a.U encumbrance, in order to have it consecra-ted for the service of the Welsh people. The church and the buildings connected with it. which were erected at an expenditure of E8,000, will ever remain a monument of your faithfal and patriotic labours on behalf of God's cause and the Welsh people. We keep in memory with -nixed feelings of sorrow and ioy your faithful ministrations 1 in the sanctuary, your powerful and effec- j tive sermons, your careful offices as paator, your kindness and courtesy to all, your con- sistent Christian conduct, and your useful and faithful counsel and a-dvice, and we thank the Good of all grace that you were spared to us for so manv years, an example of a good servant of Jesus Christ and a rule and guide in all Christian conduct. We admit your wisdom in yonr choice of colleagues from time to time; they have been men who, under your guidance, have been the means, in connection with yourself, of promoting; the cause among us arvti render- ing gglwys Dewi Sant a centre of blessing and influence among our fellow-countrymen. We are indebted to you for a ministry which was thoroughly loYaJ to t-he Church -a, ministry which reflected I'- .fully the letter aud spirit of the Prayer Book, and rejoice in the fact tha.t Eglwys Dewi Rant is one of the few p-Iaoea where a da.1ly service is held in the old tongue, and where the ecclesias- tical year is observed without a break. No church has ever been blessed with a ministry which has been more full and con- sistent than Dowi Sant, where, at the font and the altar, we hare a right use of the sacramente, and in tho pulpit the Word of Truth pfgjstly decided. It is a source of pleasure to us tha.t the cause at Dewi Sant is so flourishing and is not encumbered by any financial burden, and for this we are indebted chiefly to your wise a.nd careful leadership. During your career in Cardiff vou have taken a loadiag part in the Welsh- side of the public' life of the city, and as a guardian of the poor for years you have won for yourself an excellent name.
