To-Day's Short Story.
To-Day's Short Story. KATHIE'S ROMANCE. Kathie Fernald comes up the drive, a big dog trotting soberly at either side, crosses the terrace, with a nod and smile to the two sitting there, enters the open door aa lightly as the sweet, west wind that follows her, and goes upstairs unannounced, the brass- shod heels of her small walking boots clicking musically over the tiles of the hall j floor. "Do you not think Katliie Ferna.1 d pretty— and 'taking.' Doctor Maturin?" speaks Juliet Ormond's slow, serene voice, with just a lazy lifting of the dark almond-shaped eyes to his face. I thought her beautiful last summer, and most charming," returns the gentleman addressed, half absently, yet taking exception to that participial adjective in spite of himself. Ah f" syllables the mellifluous voice, persuasively. "And not now? But why not, pray, if I may ask?" Sh-e seems changed, to my eyea, from the way she looked then," says Robert Maturin, frankly, yet with a troubled shadow on his honest face. I can see but one real difference about her, and yet to me it alters her whole appearance." "I suppose you mean the style of short-cat hair which she has taken up?" with a shift- ing gleam in the slow, black eyes. it has become 'the fashion.' It is quite the rage, too. among those young women who are a little-no, not quite fa-st-I don't mean that exaotly; but—well—just dashing enough to be fond of horses, dogs, toboggans, and tricycles"—(Dr. Maturin winces. Does not ho himself remember how fine and fearless a horsewoman K athie Fernald is, and that she owns to a liking for dogs? And he knove she has toboganned at the Exhibition. But tricycles—oh, never!)—"and it is also much affected by the literary and lecturing sister- hood. Besides, it is very becoming to Kathie, and she knows it; it is not everyone to whom it is given to wear baby carle eo bewit-chiipgly-she never was so perfectly chic in her liie. I think she is just as 'taking as she can be." All this in the low, placid tone of languid criticism, watching its effect the while from under drooping eyelids. He makes an impa- tient gesture at the close. "I don t admire dashing girls, nor 'taking' ones either; and as for ohie, I hate the word in connection with ladies. And short hair I do abominate, however becoming its wearer may think it; a tastefully arranged coiffure has more charms for me," with an approving glance at the well-kept black ooils on hie handsome companion's head. She smiles a little; her masked battery haa not been play- ing all in vain. And Kathie Fernald, sitting inurumapected proximity at the open window of the room above, where she has gone to awai-t her friend's return, inadvertently, overhears it all. She is a shapely, graceful girl, with some- thing irresistibly fresh and winning in her air; there is always a flash and a sparkle like that of new wine about her. It is the rich wine of life and youth, with health and strength at their untrammelled best in the fair, quick body. She has a real se-a-sheli complexion, a trifle darkened sometimes by sun and wind, but never much injured; wide, velvety, dark-grey eyes, a.nd a wonderful orop of gold-bright ourhs cut short, and rippling evenly all over the fine little head, uninterrupted by any parting from. crown to forehead. Now the red-rose lips quiver: He thought me beautiful laat summer." Then the white teeth set-. "Juliet Ormond of all women!" Again: "He &J)omiuateo short hadr. forso<Jlth 1"1 But here the shining head cresta itself like a. bird's—yet, oh so proudly!-and there are no tears, but a steel-like flash, in the lovely eyes that watch Doctor Robert Maturin as he presently atroiLs alone across the lawn, lighting a cigar as he goes, to aid hia reflec- tions. Juliet Ormond watches him, too, with black eyes, lazy yet covetous. Yes, he is well worth winning, this handsome, frank young fellow, so earnest and sincere of heart, with his growing practice and the goodly property his father has left hirn. For -t-ell it not in Gaili-the fortune which the late Caleb Ormond has contrived at last to leave his fascinating relict is rather a shabby one, th-ough she has skilfully covered all defects as yet. So she begins to weave her spell with "nods and beclu and wreathed smiles" for Robert Maturin's unwary heart; and indeed she manages to keep him at her side for the next two weeks, an apparently devoted cavalier, but well outside of that charmed orbit wherein Kathie Feroadd movee, a, "bright, particular star." However, though outside, some very lin- gering, pathetic, glances are cast over into that circle by this poor, beleaguered disciple of ifisculapius, who yet knows not how to heal himself. "Robert Maturin!" It is the voice of a lovely white-haired lady, calling him sharply-an old friend of bii, and also of Kathie Fernald's. She Aas just intercepted one of those long. wistful looks with which he has followed that young lady, and stope him in parsing. "Robert Maturin, you like Kathie Fernald very much, don't you?" with the abruptness of age and long acquaintance. "I'm afraid I do or did," he admits; then dreamily: "I thought her simply perfect, once my very ideal of a most lovely woman. But now she is changed." A long pause. No, Mrs. Woolson," he finishes at length, impa- tiently, "I could forgive a woman anything, but this fashion of short hair, that is a folly I despise." "On, hush! For shame, to speak like that of Kathie Fernald's hair!" cries the sweet old lady, indignantly. "It is a mercy the mis-fort one was no worse. We—her friends are proud of it, if eiie is not." Misfortune!" in blank amazement. "Is it possible you do not know why Kathie Fer.iald weajis f-hort curls to-day? Let me teil you, then. She was at the Hart- woods' country house last autumn when it barnod to the ground. Ah, I see you begin to guess, but you don't know yet. You have thought it was a whim of hens to follow a. freak of fashion; but, no, there is not a more womanly woman alive than Kathie Fernald, and such a spirit, for all her sweet face. I remember you ha\e been long away, but I suppose you had heard of this. Well, it so happened that the night of the fire there were only women in the house, not even a on the place, a.nd the fire had made great headway before it was dis- covered at all; still, they had got safely out, and were standing about haif dazed, as usual, on such occasions, when Kathie Fer- naid, who had been everywhere and helping everybody, remembered a< young servant- girl, who was confined to her room by ili- n e- and had been forgotten in the rush. It wasn't half a minute before she had snatched a blanket which some one had brought out in the hasty flight, wet in the basm of the fountain near by, wrapped it around her, and was off like a flash. She went back into the fire-doomed house—that slig-iit young girl-up the smoki-ag- stairways, and actually succeeded in dragging th,o frightened maid down a.nd out into safety. I tell you it vvar a deed the most courageo'vs man might well havo hesitated to attempt, for the sinoke and iiamea were dreadful, and the chance of escaping with life but narrow. Her lightness and quick strength saved her, though; she was not. much hurt, after a.II- our brave Kathie—only a few blisters, which healed without scar, her health is eo perfect. But her magnificent hair was ruined—you know how luxuriant it was—being unbound, most of it was burned to a cinder, and it all had to be cut off close to the ekin. It was a tria,l to her, for Bhe was justly proud of it, that lovely hair; but she beara it braTC Y though she, too, despises short locks," woman-like, ftnisiung with this sharp thrust 16It her discomfited companion. A long pause. Does Juliet Ormond know all thisP" be asks at length, very slowly. Juliet Ormond? She, too, was at the Hartwoods' at the time it happened; and with the irtter absence of reason which distinguishes some people at such times, she even wus selfish, enougrh. to ask Kathie if she was going into the burning house again, to just bring out her jewel-case, which was on the dressinc-table in her room. Mrs. Hart- weod told nro the whole story; she said you should have aeen Kathie's eyes flesh at this most idiotic request. I think I see how she looked now," f;miMng across at Kathie her- self, who at this moment turns to approach her eagerly, but, seeing who is with her, moves quietly aside, a look of sudden hauteur dimming the epsyrkle of the sun- shine face. "Of course, Juliet Ormond knows it," goes on Mrs. Woolson; "and I am surprised then pauses, discreetly deciding to say no more, having, with a woman's intuition, readily divined the whole situation. So am I surprised." speaks Robert Maturin, quietly, in that pause, t'hat I should be such an unmitigated simpleton"; and he turns awtvy, olng the cud of sweet, and bitter memories," yet with his whole heart in a glow of love and admira- tion for Kathie Fernald and her heroic deed. I never meant you to know it at all," says Kathie herself, between smiles and tears, when, having fought her that sa-ime evening to plead his cause, he gently touches tOO soft cropped curls with a few reverently tender words straight from his full heart; "never, after you accepted Juliet Ormond's false estimate of me." But the only punishment she imposes upon him for his harsh judgment is this: she decrees that he shall wait till the "baby curls" have grown long enough to "do up," before she will bend her bright head to the I wreath of "bridal bondage"; and so well he loves her, that though he feels erem this to be a heavy penance, yet he bears it cheer- fully for her sweet sake.

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES No application is better for lustreless hair than salt. Rub well into the roots of the ha.ir at night, then tie up in a large haal- kerohief, or wear a nightcap. Brush on*, tbo salt in the morning. Several applica- tions will show a marked improvement in tho brightnem of the hair. Ginger Beer I Five pounds of white sugar, a quarter of a pint of lemon juice, 5oz. of bruised ginger, 4! gallons of water, and ft tathlespoonful of brewers' yeast Boil the ginger in. three quarts of water for half an hour, then aodd the sugar and lemon juice, strain and free from pips, also the peel at six lemons grated. Strain all through a cloth. When nearly oold, add the yeast and a teaipoonful of essence of lemon. Let the whole stand four days, then bottle. It will keep many months. This quantat-F will make enough to fill 100 bottles. Stewed Cucumbers Take lib. cucumbers, ilb. onions, loz. butter, a,nd one teaspoomful of florur. After peeling the cucumbers and anions, cut them in slices about an eighth of aoi inch thick, and fry them in butter till well browned. Put them into a saucepan with a quarter-pint of hot water or vegetable broth, season with pepper and salt; let them stew till quite soft, add the flour and butter mixed well together, and boil gently for five minutes. To Crystallise Small Pears Thinly pare fruit, but care must be taken not to remove or brea-k the stalks. For each pound of pears, plaoe lilb. of loaf 6Ugar in an enamelled-lined saucepan, with three- quarter of a pint of water. Set it over the Are, with the well-whipped white of an egg added; let it boil up, and, when ready to run over, pour & little cold water in to give it a check; but when it rises the eexsond time take it off the fire, and set aside for a, quarter of an hour. during which the foulness will sink to the bottom, and leav-e a, black scum on the top, which take off gently, and pour the eyrup into a vessel very quickly from the pediment. While this operation ie proceeding place th-e pears in some slightly salted iKxi'inig water and allow them to just boil onoe, then leave them in the water for twenty minutes; stand peo/rs on a sieve to drain, then place them in the syrup, and just bring to the boil. Bemove the pears, drain, and sprinkle them on all sides with iciflg sugar, until they are quite white. Set them on a wire rack in a. very warm room to slowly dry. Any fruits miay be thus crystallised; apricot, pinea-pplee. and cherries are very successful done in this way.

WELSEMEN IN FORM. I Football Tourists Good Win. I SrASTEKrON (New Zealand), Saturday. In fine weather the British ftugby football team opened their tour to-da.y with a match against a fifteen of Woerarapa. The attend- ance numbered 6,000, and the ground was in good condition. The visitors won the toss, and, playing with great determination, completely demoralised their opponents. In the first half "Panty" Jones scored the flrpt try for them, and then Gibbs got over twice. Neither of these tries was converted. Before the interval arrived Ritson increased the visitors' lead with a capital try, and Harding was successful with the kick. At half-time the Britifirh side led by fourteen points to nil. In the second half Waerara-pa improved considerably, and, although the visitors still held the upper hand, they were met by sound defence. J. L. Williams scored a try for the British team, which was not con- verted, and towards the end O'Leary scored a penalty goal for the home side. The British side thus won by 1 goal and four tries to one penalty goal. It was a very fast game throughout. The British team displayed fine combination in passing and kicking, their backs being excel- lent, while their forwards also played admir- ably. Jackett, at fiill-bac-k, was in brilliant I form.—-Press Association Foreign Special. English Footballers Stoned The team of the Manchester linitea i,-oot, ball Club played a match ag-ainst the Fereno- varo Si Tornaklub at Buda-Pesth- on Sun- day. The visitors were victorious by seven goals to nil. A large crowd witnessed, the play. Considerable uproar ai-ose during the match, the onlookers alleging that the Englishmen had infringed the ru.le! of the fame. The referee also found fault with the Englishmen's play, but he subsequently with- drew his remark, the visitors pointing out that they were keeping within the rules of the game a-a played in England. The crowd pelted tho visitors with stones, but only one of the team was hit. sustaining a small bruiee on the head. It was only owing to the intervention of the police that the English- mien were able to leave the ground without further molestation.—Reuter. A later message says that altogether five of the English football tcanx are reported to have been struck by stones, but with one exception only momentarily hurt, the blows not being severe enough to leave a mark. The -an who received a bruise on the head Is named Thompson.—Beuter. Swansea Three-Quarter III I W.

He Ceased to Write I
He Ceased to Write I SCOTTISH LADY OBTAINS A DIVORCE I Lord Dundas, in. Edinburgh on Saturday, freaTd the evidence in an action for divorce by Mrs. Mad-eline Lindsay Dioksoai, or Oughterson, reskidng in FALL-burgh, against Mr. Hugh G^eors^ Ongtitersoin. engineer, JoliajMiesbnTg. Petitioner said she was a daughter of a brigade surgeoni in the Indian Army, and was married to defendiar.it in 1899. Both she and defendant were at that time connected with the stage. Their irarried life was quite Ira-ppy, and a child was born in 1901. Same of her huslxtnd's friends advised him to go to Soartli Africa, a.nd he did so. He ceased to write to her a.fter a time or send her money, and in Jajni-ary, 1934, she went out to South Africa in qxieet of her husband, whom ehe found at Jaha-nneshnir^, where he was employed at a inino at a salary of JE500 a year. It was arrang'ed ttiat she should return to this country tor the child, and respon- dent gave her a. Tetter to a sollcitor in Lon- don, in whose hands he represented that he had placed £350 to cover witness's expien&es. When, she reached London she found there was no solicitor of the naime mentioned a.t the address given. A decree was granted.
I A HUSBAND'S TRIALS
I A HUSBAND'S TRIALS George Bird, a, rifle tester, employed a.t the Small Arms Factory, Bow, was charged on remand at Old-street Police-oonrt on Saturday with attempting to murder his wife. The evidence on the first occasion was that he sitabbed her in the neck. He was aa,id to ha/ve been sober, and Ms wife pro- fessed herself unable to explain, the cause of the a-tfcack. At the renewed hearing the accused [husband called fellow-employes, who said they had known him M a. ec-ber, s.teady ma-n for twenty years. Bnt they also knew that his wife was frequently intoxicated, neglected her five children, and was a nagger. Asked to explain these accusations, she promised to turn over a new leaf; and the magistrate, considering that the evidence against the wife made the case a very exceptional one, decided to suspend judgment for three months, allowing prisoner out on his own bail.

WELL-BEHAVED IN PRISON The magistrates at Taunton on Saturday heard the strange story of a man whose life is alternately spent in prison and in roam- ing has native bills. The accused is Robert Foxwell, a vigorous-looking man of ? years.

Upon his rel-ea.se from prison recently he was aogaan arrested for alleged housebreak- ing and committed to the Somerset Assizes.

Secretly Wedded P1
Secretly Wedded P GOULD-SAGAN ROMANCE According to the "New York American" on Sunday Mr. Budenbender, Justice of tho Peace at Hoboken, New Jersey, married .Madam-o Anna GmiikL, the divorced wife of Oount Boni do Castellane, to Prinoo Helio dc j Sagan, just before they sailed for Europe on April 11 aboard different steamships. Tho j wedding, besides being secret, Mr. Bnd-en-, bender admitted, was also very close to a midmight marriage. Everything had been arranged &evcal dia-ys in advance (says the "Daily Teiie-graiph"), with the idea of making the marriage, as lato as possible. About ten o'clock at night, Madame Ck-uld and Prince Helie, who were at the Hotel St Regis, slipped through the kitchen and entered a waiting vehicle. They wero drivem directly to Jloboken, where the justice was waiting, with two witnesses, whom he provided. It is noteworthy that tihe "New York Wold" on Sunday publises the statement that Madame kana Gould told her relatives at who family oownail in Now YoTk that sho intonded to marry tho Prince, despite their opposition, and that hor brotlier prooniptly detailed detectives to watch both parties. The brother, under tho terms of their father's will, can largely control Jfada.me Gould's allowance in case of a marriage contrary to his sanction.
