jopyright. ] To-Day's Short Story. JUST A MISTAKE. By Leon Mead. I Thotig-h an unconscionable flirt, there was act a iligrher-minded or more virtuous young; woman in Riverdale than Marjorie Ferrin. Her personal charms were so numerous that merely to catalogue them would fail to give you an exact portrait of her indefinable loveliness. Within this apparently flawless tenement of cllly dwell a soul which received impres- sions from the outer world as though it were a waxen tablet wrllgllt upon by the ancient stylus. A unique contrast to her ¡ glossy, jet-black hair (a. type seen occa- sionally among the Ceitio race) were her turquoise eyes. in wiioce luminous deeps a subtle intelligence constantly played. Indeed, it was no wonaer that at eighteen Marjorie's admirers bad become leg'ion. Everyone petted and adored her, and to I confide in a young womanhood 31 lovable t seemed as easy and natural as to inhale the ambrosial fragrance of an apple blossom. Among Marjories latest, and consequently nioet fa-vocred, of gentlemen admirers was a promising young litterateur," Mr. William Ougsbtiry, who had come down to Siverdale to recruit his health. Besides being a real novelty, he was a decidedly c4e\er and agreeab)e chap—handsome, chival- rous, and devoted to the manufacture of original and even creditable sonnets. There- fore, Marjorie, without aiming to achieve any serious conquest of his affections, would have been quite disheartened if anything: had prevented her from adding so distinguished an attache to her court. It was, however, by a slow and assiduous process that she enlisted Mr. Ougsbury's interest, and even when she had so far conquered as to And him her obedient ser- vant to command. Marjorie saw or fancied that his attentions were less the result of a feeling which has no equivalent than a merely gallant admiration. But quotidian association perceptibly increased their intimacy, and Marjorie's demeanour towards her old disciples grew cold and forbidding. All her coquetries and blandishments of manner were now reserved for Willard; but they were, after all, only the secondary forces she employed to inspire his romantic passion; strong emotional senti- tqeots ca. me to her assistance which she had I er experienced, before. She imagined that a fan .oscillated by Mr. Ougshury in front of her ffiSGred brow. after an industrious waltz, effected a large and more refreshing current of air than any other made denizen of the ballroom could produce with the same appa- ratus. As a mark of favoritism she consented to ride with him one beautiful afternoon into the open country. Marjorie, rrioantetf on a gentle but spirited animal, was exhilarated by exercise and entranced by Mr. Ougsbury's charming discourse on the English p»>ete. Their route led them along the picturesque bank of the Connecticut, a fashionable drive among people in that neighbourhood, both on account of the excellent macadamisation of the road and the encha.nting scenery. The far-away hills never had been more exqui- sitely upholstered with graceful foliage and choice verdure. On their right the river wound through the peaceful; valley like a huge silver set-pent, sparkling with the sun- light glinting its surface; and on the left a large orchestra of roa dside C b <) rLQ t o i's warbled amid the full-leafed branches of the stately elms. Marjorie's heart, not to eay her little pink ears, thrilled with the raptu- rous music, and her cheeks glowed with the tint of a "Gloire de Dijon" rose; while a smile rippling on her lips presen-t-ly broke into a merry laugh that disclosed her milk- white teeth. The sun was still high when they turned homeward, and after a lively canter, they slackened the speed of the horses in order to enjoy the serenity of a woodland glen down whose rocky slope a noisy little brook spiaahed hurriedly.in the direction of a deep, bloom-tangled rave. He had relaxed into an absent mood, which prompted his com- panion to offer a penny for his thoughts. Willard rallied himself, and replied with assumed gaiety:— "Ah. Miss Ferrin. has not a man in love the sanction of Shakpeare and all the poetc t) be merry or sad, abject or whimsical? Y.. see before you a man deeply, yes, despe- rately in love." "It is coming at last," murmured Mar- jorio. to herself. "But I must deceive, hiift no longer. I will langh at him." Then she said aloud. "Indeed! Let me take a good look at you then. Ha, ha! I should like to note the tiymptoms of a state come to be regarded as problematical nowadays." Pray be serious, dear Marjorie, for my sake," urged Willard, in an earnest voice, "I cannot jest on this sacred subject; it is one too deeply involving my happiness. We have known each other for bat a short time, Marjorie, but I am not one who believes 'that the growth of friendship must always be" measured by months and years. l think I know you quite as well as though I had been acquainted with you all your life, and I am sure you will not think I claim too much in asking you to listen to me. Oh, the love I feel is so deep and sincere that it demands and must have expression. May I speak freely?" "Oh, nov no!" cried Marjorie, in a tone of distress. There was a limit beyond which her coquettish indulgencies could be prac- tised without shame, and their pleasure was destroyed in this instance by the real pain and'suspense of her victim. "Please do not tell me any more, I am -sorry, very porry, Mr. Ougsbury, if I have alone wrong, but I cannot return your affec- tion." Yon have made a natural mistake, Miss Ferrin; and one it would, perhaps, be more polite in me to leave uncorrected; but my policy is always a straig-htforword one, and I will confess it was not to your respected self to whom I made allusion a few momenta ago, Lut to Miss Sadler, of New York- The cordial friendship you have been pleased to give me induced me to hope that you migi-kt allow me the luxury of convers- ipg with you about one who constantly "occupies my thoughts. I trust you will per- mit me to do ..0 still, will you not?" Marjorie's face was ,ufrnse-d with eearlet blushes. She had made the most trying of feminine mistakes. She dropped the reins and hid her face in her hands, overwhelmed with confusion and unable to utter a word to extricate herself. Willard caught hold of the bridle and led her horse out of the grove, striving all. the time, by saying the kindest things in the world, by treating the whole matter as a trifling joke, and by skil- fully presenting to Marjorie the only con- soling feature in the case-that her reply had amounted to a refusal—to banish her annoya.nce and mortification. At length she rather coyly exchanged glances with him, and soon afterwards fol- lowed the promised confession, which simply consisted of a lover's ecstaciee over a lair divinity whom,, notwithstanding his secret adoration for, bis poverty forbade him to address. Marjorie proved a very interested and sympathising listener, and though she had no advice to offer. Mr. Ougsbury was gratified by the absorbed attention she gave his story, and they parted true friends that day. Early in the autumn Willard returned to his arduous pursuits in the city. During the course of four weary years his genius elevated him to the responsible dignity of a popular author. Thus realising a success beyond his wildest dreams, he treated him- self to a summer vacation once more among the vine-clad rocks, the sylvan hills, and luxuriant vales of Riverdale. As a matter of course, he renewed his acquaintance with Marjorie, whom Time's deft touch had rendered more attractive, were that possible. And she was still un- engaged—a fact anent which Willard had been solicitous for months—the reason being that a matrimonial event in which Miss Sadler was a lirincipal participant, had entirely dissipated his youthful fancy for that young woman, who had become a wife before pecuniary circumstances could justify him in declaring his attachment. And then there was the salient possibility that she mi-ght have jilted him, despite the evident fondness she manifested toward him during the winter. he had been a magasine editor in liondon. So ne nowl met Marjorie witn a tree neari. His advances to her were now permeated with a different spirit from that in which they were once tendered. Marjorie. however, quite unaware of this change in his feelings, received him on the former friendly footing. Indeed. she was far more secure and self-possessed than before, for she imagined she exactly knew the con- dition of Mr. Ougsbury's affections, and her familiarity with him, therefore, could not possible lead either astray. She was willing to walk. ride, -or talk with him unrese-rvediy, 1 if he desired her companionship. Iiometime-s, it is true. she fancied there was something in his manner she did not quite understand, a vague suggestive something; but she de- cided she must be deluded again, and tried to forget all about it. One day it happened that they rode out in I the same direction they had taken upon the I occasion of their first ride. Arriving at the shady avenue, they turned aside as before to I explore the deep recesses of the everglade; to discover if perchance four years had pro- duced any changes in so retired a spot. As they halted near a moss-bed Willard care- lessly asked; "Do you remember, Marjorie?" "My awkard mistake?" she interrupted. I was just thinking of it. But please don't mention it." I was thinking," remarked Willard, quietly, "that it was my mistake, not yours." How so ?" Because I have since learned that my confession of love made then was based upon the wrong person—in short, it should have been made to yon. Marjorie; and I cannot imagine where my wite were that I did not know it. Let me correct my error by telling you how muot I love you." Tie looked at the trembling girl. perhaps for encouragement.; but not meeting the responsive glance he doubtless expected, he added in alarm. "Surely, surely, Marjorie, you will not repeat the same cruel answer!" "I can scarcely,,tpll," she said, with con- siderable he-itation. "You take me by sur- prise—you must give me time to reflect. But," she added, with a seductive blush and shy smile, I will make a confession. I was thinking just now that if I had felt toward you then as I do now I might possibly have made my blunder still more awkward by saying Ye-s instead of 'No.'

Christening Day 0. PUBLICAN SUED FOR BREACH OF 0.1 PROMISE Miss Lizzie Boyd, weaver, of Nelson, sued Robert Barker, the licensee of the Leeds and Liverpool Hotel, Brierfield. near Nelson, at the Manchester Assizes, on Saturday, for j breach of promise of marriage. The plaintiff was 30 years of age, and the defendant 28, and the promise to marry was alleged to have been made in January 1903. They were children together, and both worked at the same mill. They kept company for some year., the marriage only being postponed until the defendant obtained a licensed house. In the mean- time, on July 31, 1903, a child was born, and the christening was made the occasion of a great demonstration of friendliness on the part of the defendant's parents. The child received the name of the defendant'-s father, and after the christening the whole party went to the Nelson Hotel for cake and wine. Defendant afterwards married a Miss Cookson, and the present proceedings were taken. Mr. Hewart, who appeared for the defen- dant, said. after consultation, that the record would be withdrawn by consent, upon terms endorsed upon the brief, adding that they did not desire to make any imputations against the character of the plaintiff. Judgment was given accordingly.

The Weleh Ladies' team will complete their ehooting on Wednesday next. St. Fagan's Challenge Cup. I The final for the "Forrest" Miniature Rifle I Trophy was decided on Saturday, the venue selected being the range of the St. Fagan's Olub. The trophy was given by Mire. R. Forrest for competition amongst the Cardiff and I Barry I^eag-ue Miniature Rifle Clubs. and the contesting clubs in the final were Barry Civil Service and Gadoxton Conservatives. The Civil Service gained entry to the final by defeating such strong clubs as St. Fagan's, Cardiff, and Whartons, whilst the Con- servatives were successful against Birch- grove, Cardiff Post-office, and Cathaya Con- servatives. Interested spectators during the match were Mr. and Mrs. Robert Forrest, Miss For- rest, Miss Hilda Forrest, Miss Nettie Forrest, and Master Clive Forrest. The contest proTed moat exciting, the Conservatives taking the load early on until the last two men to go, when the Service pulled the match off by the narrow margin of five points. Mr. Brace (St. Fagan's), the referee, announced t.he result amidst applause, and Mrs. Forrest then gracefully handed the cup over to the custody of Mr. J. W. Holland, the captain of the winning team. Mr. Holland, in proposing a vote of thanks to Mrs. Forrest for attending and presenting the cup, said the Barrv club felt proud at being the first winners of such a handsome trophy. Mr. Wakeham, on behalf of the Cadoxton Rifle Association, seconded the vote of thanks, and said it gave great encourage- ment to miniature marksmen to see a lady of the position of Mrs. Forrest taking such an interest in shooting. He hoped other ladies would follow her example. The vote was carried with unanimity, and three hearty cheers were given for the donor of the cup. Mr3. Forrest, in. reply, said it had given her the greatest pleasure to be present at the; match, and to afterwards present the cup to the winning team. It was very important that every man should be a good marksman, and she hoped the cup would induce greater interest and keener competition in shoot- ing -in- the district. ^Applause.) Mr. Robert Rorrest, on behalf of the St. Fagan's Club, said they were always very pleased to see competitions of that nature on the range. It was a very suitable one for the occasion, and he hoped he might have the pleasure of welcoming them there for many a long day when matches such as those were shot on. (Applause.) A very hearty vote of thanks was accorded Mr. Brace and the other gentlemen of the St. Fagan's team for officiating at the match. Councillor C. B. Griffiths (Cadoxton), who proposed the vote, stated he was very sorry that St. Fagan's were not in the final. becaus-e they were as capable a team as Cadoxton; but. unfortunately, they were drawn in the section which provided that evening's winners. He trusted they would have many a repetition of the pleasant even- ing they had spent that night. The follow- ing are the scores:- BARRY CIVIL CADOXTON CON. SERVICE. SERVATIVES. T. Blacltmore. 99 C.

DISLOYAL PLAYERS I
DISLOYAL PLAYERS W.R.U. Want Balance-Sheets I There was general condemnation at the meeting of the Rhymney Valley Rugby League, held at Bajgoed, on Saturday, of the disloyalty of Maesycwmmer in not assisting the Rest, of League v. Champions game. One speaker held that the officials had been treated more shabbily than the league itself, and a vote of censure (he thought) would counteract the ex-cham.jpions' previous writings to the piets6 by "showing them up." Mr. H. Tucker said he understood the ex- champions intended leaving the league. Mr. F. Tilley (Caerphilly) replied that he had arranged two fixtures with them, and if they were Dot league fixtures he would have to cancel thesn. The league seoretary (M.r. Rees Jones) gave a mysterious hinlt. by requesting all teams to send -in thir balance-sheets to the Welsh Union, "as it may be to their advantage. This had to be done by May 6. Blaokwood arxl AberLwwgoed both claimed the runners-up medals, but on totalling the points it was found that Aberbargoed had 18 points, as against 17 by Blackwood, so they were declared the medallists. Permi ?sion was given to Blaekwood to withdraw from the league so as to join the Monmouthshire Valleys League on the ground of expense, but it was stated that Deri and Fleur-de-lis were anxious to fill the gap. Cardiff Club Disqualified I The Cardiff and District Union met- on Saturday, and dealt wit-h the appeal of St. Saviour's against the Adult Rovers for play- ing a man under a false certificate. The player was W. Symonds, aæ..d the committee after numerous inquiries found that the certificate prc-dnced was that. of Harold Symoruds. Subsequently, the Rovers admitted that the certificate was incorrect. The com- mittee decided to disqualify the Adult Rovers, and requested Canton United and Grange Barbarians to play the final next season. PROFESSIONALISM IN WALES I The Northern Union's Programme? Commenting on the spread of profes- sionalism in South "Wales, "South Walian" in the "Sportsman" claims that the following the Northern Union's programme. He states that an official of the Union vouchsafed the information that "if six or more Welsh clubs are in membership with our Union a Welsh League will be formed and a Welsh League trophy put up (I think we may say this is practically certain). The Welsh clubs will be allowed to join the Northern Rugby League, and also be allowed to compete for the Northern Rugby Union Challenge Cup." Therefore, if only six Welsh clubs join a Welsh League would mean eoch club would play home-and-home fixtures, ten matches. They would play each other again in tI,, Northern League, ten matches, and in addi- tion I am told they would be allowed matches with five Northern clubs, again equalling tA, n m,&, altogether thirty League matches—in addition to whatever matches they were drawn in the Northern Union Cup-tie. Of course, that is a season's progra.mme in itself, and an interesting one at that. The existence of fix strong clubs under the above conditions would no doubt be a com- plete sueess, but if the number was doubled the question of overcrowding might arise. The Union would in that case, I understand, whilst still adhering to the League, inaugu- raw a Welsh Challenge Cup on the knock-out principle, whilst the 22 matches played in the League would count for both the Welsh Ivea-gue and the Northern League, whilst in addition each Welsh club would be allowed English fixtures with four Northern clubs, making a. total of 30 Northern League matches. Of course, in a case of this kind the Welsh clufis would desire a la.rge measure of con- trol, and this the Northern Union officials would give by forming a National Welsh Union to govern the game in Wales, and giving iieh Union entire control of Welsh football, both International and olub, although arrangements would have to he made that the rules of the game should be identical bot,h in England and Wales. The committee would, of course, be an elective on-e from the whole of the Welsh clubs in membership. This. I underst.and, is the programme of the Northern Union as at present intended, although it may be added tha-t the Union have further received a letter from South Wales requesting information, to .help Ul the j ol..a ,v'V —

WHILE UNDER CHLOROFORMI
WHILE UNDER CHLOROFORM I Three More Hospital Deaths I Three deaths during, or immediately after, hospital operations, performed under chloro- form, were investigated at London inquests on Saturday. At one the coroner Dr. Waldo, remarked on the fact that in the past seven years he had dealt with 67 cases of deaths under anaesthetics, of which 60 were under chloro- form. You will st'e, therefore, the larsre proportion of deaths while under the influence of chloroform." At the Evelina Hospital, Alfred James Townsend, aged four, was given chloroform for an operation to remove an abscess near the lunge, when respiration suddenly failed., and death occurred very quickly. Dr. Theo. dore Fi&her, expert pathologist, said the immediate cause of death was the action of the chloroform. Thehospit.al had no special aiwesthetist, but hoped to have shortly. At University College Hospital, Doris Jode, two years and a half- never recovered con- sciousness after receiving chloroform. The house surgeon said death was due to poison- ing owing to deferred chloroform, a form of death only discovered by science within the last three months. At St. Thomas's Hospital. Harry Steven Weaver, 3t, was given chloroform for a serious operation, which had been completed when he suddenly died from shock from the operation. The verdict was Accidental death" in each case.

"Have Loved for Ages"
"Have Loved for Ages" GENTLEMAN AND FACTORY GIRL Everyouein Leicester is talking about thp alleged elopement of Mr. John Dearden, a country gentleman, who lived at Evington House, a mansion standing in forty acree of grounds, near Leicester, with Gertie Ashby, the daughter of a cowman living in the village on the border of his grounds. Mr. Deardcn, who is married and has five children, is a first cousin of Lord Masham, his aunt having married the first baron. He is forty-seven years old. Gertie Ashby, who is about twenty-seven years old, was employed at a factory in Leicester, and used to walk to her work every day. Sometimes Mr. Dearden Overtook Her in His Dog-cart and gave her a "lift," JTut no notice was taken of this, as it is not unusual in the country. The girl is pretty, and, like many of the Leicester factory operatives, she dressed well. She left home on April 15, telling her sister she would return in the eyening, and on the same day Mr. Dearden dr.ve to the railway station and took train to London. At first nothing was thought of the girl's disappear- ance, as it was believed she had gone to stay with friends in Leicester, but when it was learned that she had not visited them her parents became anxious. The Mystery was Solved on Friday last by the receipt of the following letter purporting to come from Mr. Dea-rden to the girl's father: — Evington House, Leicester. Teleg r am s—Thu m by. Mr. Ashby,-I can only imagine what you think of me now. Whatever you do, please I' do not blame Gertie; sho has tried her utmost to prevent my carrying out my wished. We have loved each other for ages, and I again ask you not to throw the blame upon Gertie, as I am wholly relSponsible and to blame for what we have done. Anyhow, in the event of anything hap- pening to me, I have made full and ample provision far,her, and I hope and pray that at some not very far distant time you may see your way to granting her your full forgi veneiiS.- Yours truly, J. DEARDEN. The letter was posted in London, and it is thought that the couple have gone to Paris. As far as is known, nothing has been heard from Mr. Dearden at his home. It has been staled since their departure that Mr. Dearden and the girl met frequently in a plantation on his estate.—Daily Express.

A HOUSEHOLD NECESSITY. DR. MORSE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS SHOULD BE IN EVERY HOME. In the best regulated families the little ills of life will creep in.

M .Li P<U D.?ILVtp G IN -ETENED WA'rtR K 8J 7H* is fort rettrixg. |g I INDIAN ROOT | I PILLS I From these little troubles most serious complaints arise, and should therefore not be neglected. The slight headache, bad breath, and .a dis- coloured tongue are the index to a dis- ordered stomach, and the necessity of keeping a safe, sure, and reliable remedy in the house is apparent. By fol- lowing such a course the more expensive method of calling in a doctor will be quite unnecessary. Many people are more ot less subject to some weakness, and when the latter gives warning of its approach, it is both wise and reasonable to adopt some means of preventing symptoms developing into serious illness. Dr. Morse's Indian Root Pills are a perfect Blood Purifier, and a sure remedy for Biliousness, Constipation, Indigestion, Headaches, Sallow Complexion, Liver and Kidney Troubles, Piles, Pimples, Boils and Blotches, and for Female ailments.

I The Gambling Fever 1■.■-
The Gambling Fever WOMEN GREATER "PLUNGERS" THAN MEN The euicide of a Japanese officer, Major Ideka, who drowned himself because he had lost money, oond to him by his Govern- ment, at gambling tables in Paris, has once more drawn the attention of the authorities to the many gambling clubs in the capital. These clubs are very difficult to suppress for the simple reason that all Paris clubs pay an enormous tax (about 40 per cent. of the membership fees) to the French Govern- ment. But efforts are being made to suppress what is known as the "mixed" club, in which men and women meet to gamble, and in which the play is not always conducted fairly. The gambling fever rages very high in Paris, and women of all ages are greater gamblers than the men. In a club which was recently raided the police made their entry at the very moment when the banker at the baccarat tables accepted the jewels of a well-known actress as a stake of X800 on the torn of a card. She had lost all the money she had with her, had exhausted her credit with the club, and put her jewels on the table, hoping that her luck would change. It did, for, thanks to the opportune entry of the police, she kept the jewels. Until quite recently servants were great offenders. They had their clubs where bac- carat and other games were played, and the play ran quite high. M. Clemenceau is determined to do his best to put a stop to excessive gambling in France. His principal difficulty so far is the Law which allows watering-places to run bac- carat tables.

CASSE LL, TABLETS. Dr. Ohas. Forsbaw, M.D., Ph.D. F.R.M.S., F.C.S., D.Sc., the eminent scientist and litterateur, of Baltimore House, Bradiord, Yorks, Editor of Yorkshire Notes and Queries, Ac., makes the following laudatory remarks about the safety, purity, and efficacy of Dr. Cassell's Tablets. Dr. Forshaw says:—" I have thoroughly tested both scientifically and practically the prepa,ra,tion known as Dr. Cassell's Tablets, and oa.n conscientiously recommend it as an eminently safe a.nd effective remedy for all forms of nerve and bodily weakness. My knowledge of Dr. Cassell's Tablets leads me to the opinioil that the ingredients employed in their composition form a unique synthesis, the whole combining to form what I consider to be a remarkably potential medicine, quite I safe for young and old. in cases of nervous prostration, debility, anaamia, loss of flesh, I malnutrition, children's weakness, spinal and nerve paralysis, and many forms of stomach a.nd kidney troubles. I read they can be talien by stout people as well as thin without fear of increase of adipose tissue, and from their composition I should consider this to be the case. "I have never, before testified to a patent medicine, but now take pleasure in the intereste of science and humanity, in making the above statements." Dr. Cassell's Tablets can be obtained for lOfcd., I/li, and 2/9 (containing nearly 4 times th elOJd. eize), of all chemists. 9089 Always Appetising Delicious Wheatmeal Biscuits Very short and slightly sweet B In a high degree nutritious I Huntley & Paimers | II Rich Digestive" 1 I Biscuits I m Made with scru p u l ous care from M materials of exce p t i ona l purity m Tlte words Huntley & Palmers are on eveyy ge;z ut ne biscitit tA 10F4 WAVERLEY Cup of Coffee has an added attraction, and Is a welcome reJaxation when accompanIed by a Cigarette L xwu '???.B-?J?JaL ?????L?
