MR. M'KENNA'S HOLIDAY. ™ "PERST MBD OF THE ADMIRALTY AND MES. HTKES^iA BATHTM? AT BTBS7TAT, IN NORMANDY. I [L.N. A. Photo. "I guilty; in the third, as one condemned. And I-I was 1 could not frame the words, but a tremor passed through me as I remem- bered with what ghastly implacability retri- bution was meted out. I looked at the scrap of paper with dreamy, lack-lustra eyes, with a dull curioaity which skimmed the edge of its fatefal purport, realised it, yet feared to pry within. Only one being in the world could have sent me that warning; only one little woman whoiti I had so vilely used-- poor little Anna! And this her one and only love-letter! The grey ligtot of early morning Altered I through the blinds long before a plan settled in my mind, and then it w-as but a sorry resource. I determined upon seclusion, anl that day and for many days afterwards I never stirred from my rooms. There, at least, I was safe. Then, amid all my horrible uncertainty, there came a hope, a slender, fragile idea, presently strengthening and taking coherent form. Could I effect a compromise and pur- chase freedom? Life at the price of half my wealfch seemed cheap, indeed. There was only one man to whom I knew I cooki with any safety apply, and he was Anna's father, Anton Miefoalski. I resolved to see hhn. A slight rain bail rsrien just at nightfall, and the streets gleamed dismally beneath the gas-light. With the collar of my omwomt turned up above my ears, and my hat well over my forehead, I sat as far back as pos- sible in the cab and stared gloomily before me. My heart was beating painfully, and my fingers were twitching with agitation. Now that the moment bad come I feared to hazard the thrw. A dozen times I was on the point of beating a retreat, and a dozen times I sank back into my seat again. True to his instructions, the driver pulled HP at the corMT of 'tM dingy street, and, j alighting, I dismissed him. I ??Iked the next 1 few yards with my pulses throbbing vio- lently, and the beads of perspiration trick- linit down my face. I reached the honse, a low, mean dvrellimg, hesitated a moment and then, stepping boldly up to the thrtiehdd, knocked once, twice. The door opened. I turned. Anna was standing there staring at me witii eyes full of horror, and a crimson flush struggling with the pallor in her face. I said no word-I conld not speak-but stepped within, and the door closed behind me. n "Why have you come here?" sbe said. For a momt I was siu1;, mentally con- sidering ways and means, and then, being in no mood for picking words, I told her everything. She stood listening with averted faoe, making, throughout my recital, no movement, no sign; and when I finished, when I came to the reason of my visit and all that its jyuooess or falihire meant to me she still stood there impassively, like a figure carved in sombre marble. Then in a whisper, in a tone so low that it scarce caught my ear, she murmured: you had better go." "Anna!" I said, softly. I saw her white face and dry tips, and her figure shaking a little. When she answered, tfc^re "vas a curious catch in her voice and a soft hght in her etes. "I>ick!" -that waB [ all. For the next few minutes ?e ,?tood. her 1 head on my shoulder, my cheek brushing against her hair. With a slight movement she disengaged herself and plucked my sleeve. "COtl1?," sb.e wb[s:¡Jered. I followed her up two Sights of stairs and into a large room pierced with two windows, back and front. "Your father is out?" I aol-ed. She nodded, and stepped over to the win- dow, looking out on to the street. I stood near bee, Following the direction of her gaze. A few yards down the street stood a lamp-, wd leaning &gaingt it was a man. You have been watched and followed," she said, after a pause. I made no answer, but a sickening dread rose in my throat, a.nd the. oid horrible fear returned to me with tan-fold force. The dreary silence grew j oppressive, and after a long pause, during ) which Anna stood with her eyes fixed stead- lastJy on the narrow outlook before her, I a.* ked: ,I Ls tleputed to—to I conld not finish tihe sentence, but stared at the solidary can-dlle ae it flickered on the maastel- shelf while I waited for her answer. It oa-me in one word, which, though uttered softly, seemed to liisfi and spin through my ears: i "Casimir!" Then I knew that my Iff-e hung by the slenderest of threads, for the man appointed to aeeossiplish my effiacemerat would sitop at nothing. I fell into a sort of stupor, from whi<'h I wao a-wakene-d by 3, sudden run ex-ent on the Mrt of Ansna, and a clatter at the street door below. "They svie here," An-na wfoispered, as she I paased m e. "Who?'" I asked. MaohcUski-?" "Y es." And the other jtnad>?" Wait here. I heard her fee p?tt<T down the stairs and then}lenoe. The momecrats passed slowly, and I shook with impatience until I heard the sound otf returning footeteps. She came into the room, eager and breathless. I advanced a pace to meet her, but as I saw the startled look in her eyen. and the awful white, pinched-in aapeot of her faee, I recoiled, with a sudden foreboding ohiLbktg my heart. Mell?" I w:ru3]>Cred. Caaimi" with him. The man outside has told them you are here. You can do n,c)-thir.g. I have lied to them. I have promised to brimg you to them. They are wiaiting—Oasimar is watting. Quick." fiilie ran to the Little window at the back. This is the only way. There is a roof below, and you cam juxap jaw the yard." In a aeeond I was at her side tugging at the casement..But it would not move. Together we put out our strength, atraiain/g at the frame. But it mocked our efforts and remained iruasovaJble. There was a DQifloe OOlow, aoid the stairs creaked a little. I threw off my liat andhea vy coat, pushed my feibow through a pane erf gtess, and inserted my shoulder in the aperture. Creak! CMa.k! Anna heard the stealthy moyeme-rnt too. "Oh, heavens! they are ooming she cried. She stepped across the room and cloeed her fingers over the candle. It went out. The window gave a little. Wedged in the narrow space made by the broken poane. I struggled desperately. Every masale, every sinew in my body tautened out under the strain, and inch by inch the ledge beneath rose up. Creak! creak! I was struggling through the window when Miehalski's voice rang out: Tolhurst, my friend, here, I want you." I saw in a flash Anna's figure pass through the moonlight and stoop for a moment. The next instant she was standing by the door- I w-ay, wearing my coat and hat. I slipped through the window and hung with both, hands gripping the sill. Then I saw an awful thing. Through the darkness some- thing bright quivered for an instant and descended, and a cry ros-3 up—a cry with a ring of agony, of death. Paralysed at the sight, I scarcely realised what had happened until the flgure-her figure-by the door staggered and fll-iirrtil two little white hu OO. ol-enohed and twitching, lay in the bright strip or moonlight, and along the strip .-an a thin red thread. I saw Oasimir stumble into the room, and Michalski stumble too. He looked for a second at the thing at his Net, then at the open window, with my pale face framed in the opening beyond. And Casimir looked also. Something dropped with a flash and a tinkle, and then, across the bar of light, face turned to faoe. With a hoarse '■ ry Michalski sprang at him. and Casi-mir threw out his am- and clutch met clutch.

BODY WASHED ASHORE A man named Charles, livin gat Dock-street, Port Talbot, whilst walking along the beach at Port. Talbot to-day observed a body on the beach Which had just been washed up by the tide. He immediately gave information to I'olk-e-sergeant Phillips (Docks police) who. on exaroing the body, found a tatoo mark on the right. forearm, representing two chipped liaiis and the name "S. Foley." The body was attired in sailor garb, and had apparently been in the water for several day?, the face heing very much disfigured. It is believed the man was drowned on the 20tli inst. off the Swansea pier in trying to board the steamship Ermine.

| PENSIONS POINTS QUESTIONS WHICH MAY ARISE How gigiamtic the taffe of admindEft«ntog the CM-a<ge PenL-,ion-, Act is going to be is easily to be g!aug;Cd from the fact that there are 2,996 persons in the city of Cardiff alone over 70 years of age. The enormity of the prospective work in the whole of South Wales may thiue be appreciated. The following ta.ble shows the scale according to which pensions will be Rate of pension Means of pensioner. per week. Where the yearly moans of the pensioner as cajculated uni&r tbil Aot- s. d. Do not exceed £ 21 5 0 Exceed £21, but cro not exceed £ 23 12s. 6d. 4 0 Exc £3 12,. 6d. but do not exceed L26 5s. 3 0 Exc?ed £ 28 -z-, birt do not -zeeed £ 28 175 6d. 2 0 Exceed Zn 173. M., but do-not exceed LSI 10s. 1 0 Exeeed 1 i-w No pension. Knotty Points. It is, of course, certain that numerous knotty points will have to be solved. For instance, there is the problematical oase of a-n aged husband a.nd wife who hold a small agency and are helped by their two children. Their income does not average more than 5s. per week, and they could not live M unassisted by their children, but as the latter are by no means in affluent circumstances, the old folks desire to relieve them of the burden. This is a difficult problem, as the Act does not specifically define the torn yearly means," but in caloulating the meanis of a person for the purposes of the Act account msust be taken of t'he income which he may reasonably expect to receive during the succeeding year. In the a-baeaee of other means for taining his income it shall be taken to be the same amount as that actually received during the preceding year. But until the term yearly means has been defined by the central pension authority the question whether it indudea voluntary allowance cannot be regarded ae plain. Other puzzling cases innumerable may be expected to occur, some much easier of eluci- dation than others. Thus it is only reason- able to assume that there are a vast number of widows of foreign extraction in Great Britain, but as the wife takes the nationality of the hueband they will not be disqualified. In ca;ses of indefinite evidence of age the local committees will have to decide. A person having, say, L200 in a savings' bank at Zi per cent. interest is not debarred, and people with small banking accountc must not be under the impression tha,t their savings will be confiscated. The Rights of Wives. | 'inen there is toe cunone case of an old couple, the husband being in receipt of £1 per week as an ex-servamt of the Poor-law Board. In this instance we should say the wife would be entitled to 3s. a week. This appears to be the meaning of dauee 4 (2), which, in effect, provides that for the purpose of deciding whether each of two married per- sons living together is entitled to a pension, the joint income is to be added together and halved. If the half exceeds the statutory amount, -,i7., fil. 5e., neither of them will be entitled to a pension. If it does not, then the pension will be calculated according to the table which we publish above. But the income actually enjoyed by each of the parties will also be talion into account in cal- culating his or her pension. Thus, take this ruse: The husband possesses an annual income of £40, while the wife has no separate income; for pension purposes, the wife's income will be taken to be L.0 per annum, so that she will be entitled to 5s. per week; whereas her husband's income will be taken at its actual amount, viz., £40, so that he will be entitled to no pension. Or, again, supposing the hus- [mud'.s income to bo £ 20 per annum, amd, t-he wife's separate income £1: per annum, fur pension calculation purposes the amounts itiu,ct be added together and halved; thus each will have xl5 per annum only, a.nd eaeh will be entitled to 5s. per week. Or, again, exposing the husband's income to be £ 30 and the wife's £20. for pension calculation purposes the total income would be £ 50, and the income of each party Z25, so that the wife would be entitled to 3s. per week, but the husband would only be entitled to Is. per week, his actual income being £30 per annum, which brings him under the scale exceeding 17s. 6d„ but not exceeding -931. 1 r A person who has been in priso-n is dis- qualified umtil ten years a-fter release. In the case of a wife whose huebaand is in receipt of parish relief we should say the wife would be entitled. Persons of foreign extraction, if beyond the statutory age, no matter how good their character, are not entitled to a pension if they have not been naturalised. It is doubtful whether presence in a workhouse infirmary is a disqualiifcation. There are strong arguments both ways, but, on the whole, the intention of the Act. seems to be to make an exception in the cate of the sick poor. A person in receipt of a Government pension within the prescribed amount, if qualified in other respects, will he entitled to 5s. per week. As many cases must occur I in which the ages of the applicants will be doubtful, it is to be presumed that the authorities will act on family Bible entries, I This is a hypothetic.al case of interest to co-operators. A man has an income of about £25 Us. Most of this is derived from capital in a co-operative society union uas accumulated from dividends on purchases The wife is nominated to draw any of this at any time, and also to receive the amount should she be the longer liver. In such a case, it may be taken for granted that the whole of the income should be credited to the husband. I One point that needs to be strongly emphasised is tha-t the receipt of parish relief within twelve months from January 1 next disqualifies under the Act. The I abandonment of the parish relief will not remove the disqualiifcation.

I Mutiny on a Steamer I 0 lOfflCERS MIMED. WITH REVOLVERS I A German grteamer belonging to Hamburg, I ibownd from Eanden to Algiers with a cargo of briquettes, bad arrived on Monday night ait a point to the south-wesit of Cape St. Ma/tthew, when, following on a, slight break- down of the machinery, tQe crew, comprising thirty men of different nationalities, mutinied, and refused to work. The stokers put out the fires, amd the mutineers aasuaned a threatening a-ttitude. The officers then airmed themselves with revoLvoTH in order to overawe theon, bait did not succeed in making the men obey. The caiptain was oblig.ed to let go the anxshor h-linseif in a place exposed to the fun power of the tide, and in eighty of water. Throughout the night the situation wa" serious. Tile mutineers complained of their food, and declared that the vessel was unsafe on account of its being overloaded. Yesterday the pilot from Le Coq-uet weiat to the ship, and inquired into the posit/ion, and the mutineers frmaily allowed him to comi-e en board, a.nd to take the veseel into Bresit Harbour, where she oaet anchor. There is rao Genrnan Consul at Brest, so the captain, in the afternoon, went to the Brieis'h Yio..m to ask hie advice, and an expert wmA on board the German st-e= to examine iroto the maitune of the breakdown.

Lady Scou rfleldi,&Coroner I A KEEN AND INTERESTING COLLOQUY A KEEN A- ND INTERESTING COLLQQIJY I St Clears Motor Mystery Unsolved I The hunt for the ntHsinig motorist who is alleged to have caused the death of (Jhaarles i«,mbert, a farm labourer, on the St. Clears road on Sunday week. has not proved suc- cessful. To the adjourned inquest at St. Clears yesterday the poKee subpoenaed a Pembrokeshire motorfct, b*rt. (a seated in yesterday's Exprese;") the canee of the fatality remains a mystery, and an open verdict was returned. Lady Scourfield, who was an occupant of the oar singled out by the police, made a good witness. Lady Scourfield said that it was a brilliant moonlight night; "But, still, adfled her ladyship, that was not the same as motor- ing by day. It was foggy from Carmartiietn. and in places very thick, indeed." She added: "I was very nervous. We did not time ourselves in Carmarthen, but I saw a policeman there, in the middle of the town. He was a young poiieeman, too." (Laughter.) The Coroner: I am afraid, Lady Soour- fleld, that this is the policeman who reported that the car was going so faet that he could not took at the number. Lady Scourfteld: But why didn't he stop as? The Coroner: But you bad gone. Lady Soourfiold Oh well. You eame down this way. You did not feel going over anything or anybody'—Nothing. I should h-ave stopped if I had. Proceedfeig, Lady Scourfield said that she calculated that they proceeded from Brecon to Williainston at about 14 miles an hour, Of course, they went faster 'u some places. Having heard of the accident, she was very anxious that every endeavour should be made to trace the car, and for that reason j had volunteered to give every assistance she; could She would never be convinced in her mind that her car went over a man on tho night in question. The Coroner: Of course, you might have gone over a men and mistaiien it for a bump, It is a bumpy TO"<t<:l. Lady Scourfleid: But you cannot- go oer a bump without knowing, can you? (Laughter.) The Coroner: You would without knowing tt, as you have had so many bumpe. I Lady Sconrfleld: How coakl you? I donl fcelieve it for one moment. Have you ever tried over a bunrp when motoring? (Load laughter.) The Coroner: I am not a sufficient expert at that. I have only motored about 100 miles. Her Ladyship: Do you mean to say that you think it possible to go over a man in the road and not know it? Do you think you oorald do it? The Coroner: Your chauffeur says it is not possible. Her Ladyship: I can.not understand it. Yov ooine and motor with me at night and see what I am like.—(Loud laughter.)-rll take you for a drive some night, and you will soon sec. (More laughter.) The Coroner: You say you were looking? Her Ladyship: Looking. I am always look- ing. I am so nervous. Lcmg before coming to Carmarthen I had the head of the car put down. I The Coroner: You had a long joaroey that day, you know. Her Ladyship: I suppose you want to make out that I went to sleep. Tihe Coroner: Nothing of the kind. Her Ladyship: I never trust to anybody's eyes but my own. Ctjntinuing', heT ladyship said that had she seen aoytihiuig OIl the road she would hawe gone to the police at onoe. The Coroner: I aju quite sure of timt. It is only a question whether it cam be done un- consciously. The Coroner, in summing-up, staited that it was fully negative evidence they had to go by. aJthongh there oou-ld be 110 question at ail that Lambert's death was caused by a motor-car, and evidence pointed to the fact that Sir Owen Seourfield's car was the only one that, the police, at any rate, had seen on the road. T'ne jury (as already reported) returned a velld-ict, that, "Death was caused by an un- known motor-car." and added a rider that more stringent regulations should be adopted regarding motor-mm and motor- I cycles, with especial reference to rural town- ships and villages. Copies of the rider were ordered to be for- warded to the Home Secretary, to the Motor Union of Grealt Britain, and to the chair- ni an of the Carmarthenshire Main Roads I Council.
