To-Day's Short Story. fy ♦ ■ ELEANOR'S ERROR. "And so you are engaged, Eleanor Roy Christison's voice had in it an indes- tribable something: of reproach, as he stood looking down upon the little dark-haired beauty in the cre-ain-coloured crape drese, with yellow jessamine hanging in her curls. Eleanor Laoord shrugged her shoulders- pretty, pearl-white shoulders they were, with dimples partially visible beneath their lace covering—and buried her noee in the blossoms of her bouquet. "How could I help it, Roy? I have been brought up so helplessly, you know, and I must marry rich." "I suppose a. woman's heart is never taken into account in. the slightest degree in these matters?" he said, eneeringly. "Dont, be cross, Roy," coaxed Eleanor, With, an appealing glajioe from her melting wine-coloured eyes. "There never was any real, actual engagement between us, you know, and I shall always put your name the very first on my list of fiende." "I am much obliged to you," said Roy Clmstison, ra-ther eaperoilkmsly. "I don't know whether Mrs. Palmer G-olden bough won't be to far above a poor literary vaga- bond like myself even to receive me." V\iiq,t nonsense, Roy!" pleaded Eleanor. "How can you take such a cool pleasure in tormenting me?" "And I am expected to have no opinion whatever on the subject? Eleanor, do you think I have no heart?" Miss Laoord's eyelashes drooped, but her iieart gave an exultant throb, nevertheless. coquette, both by nature and education. the regarded a plurality of lovers as one of the nece.seitiesi of her butterfly life. Because she was engaged to marry Palmer Croldenbongh was no reason that she should let Roy Christison's heart go free. Report spoke the wealthy Mr. Golden bough-a man -who would endure no divided empire; and until the golden matrimonial chains should definitely tetter her movements, Eleanor reeoived to enjoy her liberty to the utter- most. "How fortunate it i,, that his caprices i■ nduced him to remain at Goldenbough 1 ark this winter," she thought. "I should have been obliged to play the nun had he chosen to come up, and I do want one more sva.son of delicious freedom before- Beforo the fruiton of the schemes, hopes, and piinndngs of her life-time, she might have added. Mrs. Lacord was poor and proud, and Eleanor's beauty was the one marketable commodity which was to belter I their scanty foi-tun?. She bad won the prize; had reached the goal; and as the engaged wife of Palmer Goldenbough, reigned thel envy cf every other fair feminine competitor in the field. The quiet twilight was purpling the angles of Mr. Go I den bough's own room at the park, 'n the February nightfall, as he sat over the var-es of a book, not so m-uoh reading as ireaming. It was a stately room, with hijh •eilings, outlined in white and gold. and .anginas of crimson, satiu, while a fire in the grate shone like live masses of camellias. Palmer Goldenbough was a handsome, middle-aged man, with large grey eye. hair of a dark shade of brown, and a month which the physiognomist would at once have pronounced indicative of character and de- cision in no common degree. He had reached the age of forty years without marrying, not because he did not feel the constant want of a home sanctuary, but because up to that time he had never met with his true ideal of womanhood. Eleanor Lacord's exquisite oriental beauty had come to him like a revel- ation. and he had surrendered hia heart into her keeping with the assurance that she would treasure it as it deserved. And it was of her that he was thinking, as he sat all alone in the vague mingling of twilight and fire-flame. What a different place the old park will be when she is here," he thought, with a lover's fond tenacity. "I must send for the architect clown here at once, to have the new south wmg built out for her apartments. I can fancy her moving ahont like the beau- tiful fairy of some enchanted palace. And then we must have a new sail-boat for the lake, with satin cushions and awnings-she is fond of the water; and Jefferson must be on the outlook for a pair of cleans-coloured ponies for the basket-phaeton—ehe will want to drive herself about these secluded country lanes." And he drew nearer to the fading -western Hght. to' read onCe' more Eleanor's last letter, which lay in his i)reast-the long letter, daintily written in violet ink on perfumed Patin paper, which told him in each loving jrhrases lJcyw much she missed him and longed for him, and how she was counting the very days until they should be reunited. "Mamma scolds me," wrote the little arch- deceiver, "because I do not care to go out into society; but how can I, when you are not hcr? My thoughts will keep wandering hack to the bea at if at solitude of GoldPti- t),.)n,-h Park, where you are, and the wot-M calls me an absent-minded dreamer. You need not charge me &c, earm-estly to remem- ber that i am no longer mere Eleanor Lacord. but your affianced wife; it is too precious a fact for me to forget. I secluded myself like a grey nun. and mamm3. often laughs at what she calls my overprndery. But, dear Palmer, should your future wife be floating in the dance with other men, or exchanging idle badinage in a ball-room cr07,rd?" Eleanor had written as she knew Palmer Goldenbough would wish her to feel; she had sketched an exquisite fancy piece, with a nand of matchless cunning, and her lover's cheek tlushed and his heart thrilled aa he I read and re-read the delicately traced lines. "My beautiful Eleanor!" he murmured. under his breath: "bat she is too fastidious; she puts too severe a restraint on her gay youn life. I must write to her that I ?m 1 nc Bluebeard, to wish her to turn anchorite in all the bloom of her radiant youn,l beanty." ] He rang for lights, and, drawing his 1 antique natinwood desk nearer to the fire, commerced a, letter to his betrothed. But flheet after sheet was torn up and thrown aside; the thoughts that had shaped them- selves so vividly in hifi brain refused to take verbal form upon paper, and suddenly Mr. Goldenbough pushed back his chair and rose to his feet. "I will go to her myself." he thought. "I will give her a pleasant little surprise. There are plenty of reasons why I should: run up to town for a day or two, and I can epeak so much more eloquently and effec- tually than I can write." Mrs. Cortland's soiree dansante was one of the most brilliant affairs of the season, and it was thither that -Ur. Goldenbough was directed by Eleanor's Pk-ppy soubrette, when he arrived at her residence about nine O'clock on a stormy February evening. He contracted hi; brows slightly. Mrs. Cortland was one of those brilliant, unprincipled ladies of fashion whom he had specially cautioned Eleanor to avoid as much as she could, bnt perhaps this was one of the occa- sions when it was impossible not to follow in the wake of the gay world. Mr. Goldenbough remembered that he was too secluded to comprehend all the exigencies of fashionable life, and determined at once to follow Eleanor to the house whither she had gone to spend the.evening. The drive was t'hort, for as the wheels thundered over the wet pavements he pic- tured to himself, with all a lover's fond egotism. Eleanor sitting in the conservatory thinking of him—Eleanor abstracted from ail the whirl of gaiety that surrounded her. "How surprised she will be," he thought, with a smile. It was with some difficulty that he suc- ceeded in making his way into the crowd which filled Mrs. Cortland's rooms, but at length he reached the flower-wreathed door- way, whence his eye could take in all the brilliant scene of mirth and beauty. "How beautiful Miss Laeonl is to-D ight:" was the first exclamation which chimed on his ear. "Which is she?" ackeil another. "The one in pink?" "Yes; don't you eee?—waltzing- with Roy Christison. Fpon my word, she carries on that flirtation pretty openly. Do you sup- pose she will dare to go on so after she is married 0" "1 don't believe a word ot her cngagprnent to the rich old fellow away in Wales." sneered the other. "I'll wager a box of kid gloves she will marry Roy Christison yet. Why, they've been lovers ever since Miss Lacord first made her debut in society." Money rules the world nowadays," was the half-laughing reply, "and as its the fashion for married women to keep a court of, admirers round them, even after they have put on the wedding-ring, I don't see why matrimony need make much difference in Mr. Christison's attemions." Palmer Goldenbough listened to these words as if he were in a dream, and all the while he taw Eleanor whirling round anu Tound, to the sou-rid of enchanting rousic, in Roy Ohristison's arm,. Presently the graceful yonng couple waltzed out of the merry throng, and Roy Ohristisou led Eleanor to a seat close to the door, where her perfumed draperies of lace and pink satin almost touched Palmer Golden bough's rigid, upright form, iia he i etood back, half in shadow. "Was not that delightful!" Roy said. senti- mentally. "Ah. Eleanor, we shall not have many more such delicious waltzes!" "Why not?" Eleanor glanced up, flushed, excited, and radiantly beautiful. "Do you suppose because I am going to marry a man old enough to he my father that I intend to give up eocic-tv? If his money buys me. it doesn't, follow that I am to become a slave to his whims." "Not at all?" said a clear, cold voice close to them. and Palmer Goldenbough stepped out and confronted his fiancee. "Allow me, Misa Lacord, to renounce all right and title in you, henceforth. As you are so fond of society, it would be a p-ity to deprive you of it. Good evening!" "Palmr she cried, starting up, with a face as pale as the white japonicas. "Palmer-" Rut he had no mind to linger to hear false excuses. The magic glamour which had sur- rounded his true, loyal nature was dispelled at last; he had seen Fleanor Laoord as the i really was, a cold-hearted, deceitful coquette. So he went back to Goldenbough Park, and Eleanor never saw him more.

WEIRD CREATURES I Many wonderful things were to be seen at the Royal Society yesterday, and not the least wonderful were atrange sea things which had been dragged up from the depths at Plymouth, and were ehown by the Marine Biological Association. Foremost among them were the weird cow- boys of the, sea-, creatures which look like slimy logs, bnt which become uncomfort- ably active when their prey approaches. As toon a a it comes within range th-ey shoot out threads of cotton with unerring aim and lasiio it.

Old-Age Pensions i - -I
Old-Age Pensions i SCHEME TO BE IN FORCE BEFOREj JULY. I am able to say on high authority toays the "Daily Chronicle" Lobby correspondent) that the Government intend to carry through the House of Commons the old-age pension scheme, together with the rest. of the Budget proposals, before July 14. It is essential tha,t the Old-age Pensions Bill should be parsed into law before the House rises for the summer vacation. This will give the local authorities ample time to .-oet up their pension committees and enable these latter to be in working o-rdler before next year. The procedure is to be exceedingly simple. A man or woman entitled to a pension- that is, 70 years of age or older, and whose income does not exceed ltte. per we-ek-will go to the nearest Post Office and ask for a form on which lie or she will enter the par- ticulars of age, residence and income, if any. That form, when filled up. is to he delivered to the local anthority-the county, borough, urban, or rural district council—and it is to be scrutinised on behalf of the State by the Excise officer. If the applicant is eligible for a pension he or she will be given a. book of specially- prepared postal orders, which will be cashed weekly on presentation at the Post Office. It will not be possible to attach the pension for debt.
Heroic Children
Heroic Children RESCUES AT NEWPORT AND CAR- MARTHEN A brave Newport boy, named Alfred Waisli, aged 13, of 15. Union-street, paved a smaller boy, named Michael I>acey, of 1. Thomp<son's- lane, from drowning in the River Usk on Wednesday. Whilst the tide was ebbing very rapddly Walsh heard that Daoey had got into the water near the Liverpool 'Wharf, and only his head wae visible. Going dOWlll into the mud, Waleh, who had stripped, endeavoured to paes a rope to Daoey, who, however, failed to grasp it with his teeth. Walsh then swam out to the younger boy, and supported him till a rope was passed out and Daoey took it. The boys on the bank, as they hauled pulled Daoey under the water, and Walsh had to go to his assist- ance again, and help him after he had sunk twice. A Plucky Youngster at Carmarthen An. exciting scene was witnessed from. the I ba.nks of the River Towy at Carmarthen on Wednesday evening. Two boys, aged ten and I' eleven years, the sons of John Davies, tin- man, Buckingham-place, were watching the trains passing from the junction to the town station when the younger, becoming excited, slipped backwards into the tidal waters, some lift. deep. His brother unhesitatingly jumped after him, and both were deeply immersed. A hand of one of the lads was seen above water by William Robinson, and David Daviee, employee at Messrs. ftpillcrs and Bakers' stores, who threw out a lifebuoy, to which the younger lad clung, whilst the elder lad was got out by means of a ladder.

The I Fagin of the establishment appears to have been an ex-upholsterer, uanied Clovis I LLo,n. e, aged 22, The "academy" carried on business in pre- mises that had or-ce been occupied by a religious association. Theoretical a: d practi- cal instruction was given in every known form of thieving, from shoplifting and pocket- picking to housebreaking, each clas3 being in charge of a "profeasar" who had graduated at the "school." Working models of every known variety of safe and strong box were amoug the equip- ments of the institution. The students passed qualifying examina- tions. Entering as "apprentices," they became successively "workmen" and "masters." By way of a closer insight into the practical side of their calling, those qualifying in the burglary sections were taken on night excur- sions, an,d actually assisted in the robbery of, dwellings.

HE REVELLED IN CRIME. I
HE REVELLED IN CRIME. I John Edwardj, described as an habitual and 'I dangerous criminal, with seventeen previous convictions, was found guilty at Clerkenwell Sessions yesterday of stealing a watch from a man in the Strand. When .entenoed to nv? years' penal servi- tude in 1903 for stealing a scarf-pin from the Karl of Ilehester, Edwards made a speech declaring that he had carefully renected on the crime and its consequences, but the devil was too strong for him. ) It was stated that Edwards, in his interval i of liberty, worked on the building- of the ?oHc?-sta.tion at New Scotland Yard. Yesterday Edwards made another gpepoh to the court. "I have," he candidly (onfessed,1 "led a life of crime, and I admit I have. revelled in it. I have been a right-down wrong' un, a thorough bad lot all my life, but I am always looking on the bright side of things, and hope to turn over a frewh me and teart a new lite." Edwards proudly re-oaHcd the fact that while at Portland Prison, serving his la.t sentence, he broke free and olambered to the roof of the gaol, where he remained tor hours defying the wholo staff of the prison. He was only induced to surrender when the fire hose was directed upon him. "I don't know," he added, "how I drifted back again to the dock. I can only put it down to some ciirious and all-mastering impulse. From the, bottom of my heart 1 really intended to go straight., For the first time in my life I had a chance. The •Salvation Army were assisting- me. I ought to have got a good and honest living, but—I went astray again. I have always taken a keen interest in crime. I have always delighted in it, and now I hare fallen into t-his." Mr. Wallace passed sentence of three years' penal servitude.
