To-Day's Short Story.I 4- JIM'S PAL. I Mr. Ramsey is better," ssid the neatly- g-troed nurse, but he bad better not see grangers, as tadking may do harm." "But I am Jim's poal," said Dick Man- waring, simply. Then you are the gentleman who brought iim hojp-e aftex tlie accident?" asked tihe trarse, eagerly. "Of cowfse, replied Dick. "We were coming away from business together, and Jim slipped as he jumped from the 'bus, and in a. moment a lig'ht van was over him. You are the nurse, I expect, that the doctor promised to send the first thing1 this uiornirig ?" I came juet after you had left," said the nurse. Mr..Ramsey has been asking for you all day, even when he has been delirious. In a few minutes Dick was by his friend's bedside. "Well, old chap, feeling better, eh?" he asked cheerily. "Yes, I'm better, Dick, but I feel sore all over. I shall go to business tomorrow, however." "Go to business!" exclaimed Dick; "why. good Heavens, man, you won't be able to go to business for a month. I've told old Skinner a, I about the smash-up, and he said how sorry he wa-s, that you wei-e to get well over it, and it was lucky you weren't killed. 'Even told me to pay you your month's money in case you were short of cash." That is very good, of him," said the patient, softiy. And do you know, Jim, I've been thinking, and I want you to make me a promise. Have you ever written to your mother sine-e you left her, five years ago?" "No," replied Jim, with a slight flush. "I doa't want to ask disagreeable questions, Jim, old boy," continued Dick, taking: his hand, '"but was the quarrel so terrible that neither can for give? Are you sure, Jim, you were not in the wrong?" "1-1 was in the wrong," Jim said, wearily. "I was a fool. I thought I was a man, and I resented being tied to my mother's apron- strings. I was twenty-one. I wanted to see Bfe. I wanted the few hundred pounds the poor old dad had left me, and I said she was trying to steal, or had stolen, it from me. I think that nearly broke her heart. The next day she gave me the money and said, 'Do as you think best, Jim; but. when, you have seen life and when the- money has gone, come back to me.' With a sneer I toLd her I would take ca.re of my o,wn, and in a year or two probably make a fortune; but in less than nix months it was gone. I had gambled it away at cards and racing." "I know," said Dick, quietly; "and now, Jim, as soon as you can move I want you to go back to her-to have a fortnight in the old home—to be her boy again, fiemein- .ber, Jim, how a mother loves." Jim turned restlessly, and his lip quivered slightly. "I can't go back now," he said., piresently. "It would be too mean to return now." Manwaring was not the man to spoil a good impression by too much talk. lIe gave Jim's hand a squeeze and changed the conversation to other subjects. Presently he said: "We've been pretty botly in the office to- day. The auditors came this morning." "The auditors!" cried Jim. "Why, they are not due till next week." "I know," said Dick. "but they have altered their date. Funny thing, too, old Skinflint came out this morning and asked for your address. Going- to send you a hand- some cheque, perhaps." "Perhaps," murmured Jim, huskily; and then, when a sharp rat-tat came to the door, he started up wildly and whispered, "Tell them I'm not here, Dick." "Why, it's a letter," cried Dick, a moment afterwards. "Re-directed from the office." With a trembling hand Jim grasped it. and then, after glancing at the envelope, sank back on the pillow with a sigh. Dick, alarmed at deadly whiteness, called the nurse, and she gave him a. little brandy. "I'm better now," said Jim, when she had left the room. "See what's in the letter, Dick." It was from the family doctor, and ran:- Dear Mr Bameey,—I have just learned by chance of your whereabouts, and am writ- f ing immediately to tell you that your mother is dangerously ill. Perhaps you know she is now blind, and we are hoping shortly tg operate on her for cataract. 1 regret, however, t.o say she is sinking fast, and if you would see her alive you must ccme at once.—iour truly, J. LBNNOX SMITH. For a few minutes after Dick had read the let.tar they sat there without speaking. Then a hard, wild look came over Jim's face, and he put up his hands to hide it. "I shall never see her now, Dick," he groaned. "Nonsense, man, nonsense," cried Manwar- ing, star-tied by the desparing tone of his "ri&nd's voice. "In a day or two you will t>; tble to travel, and she can't be so dangerously II or the doctor would have wired. Ill tell you what.—I'll run down to Star-bridge to-night and see how she is, and I'll tell her you are j coming, and that you are sorry for the past. By Jove! if the cab moves quickly I can catch the next train. Cheer up, old boy." It was nearing eleven when Dick Man- waring knocked at the silent manor house at Stanbridge, but the doer was quickly opened. "At last," cried the little doctor, drawing him i&-o the light. "Why, who aie you? "? V h y who are you? Where's Jim?" "Jim's helpless in bed from an accwemt ?xp?in?d Dick, rapidiy. "I'm his friend. Tell rae,wlow is his mother?" "She's sin?ing," said the doetar. "She's eaten her 11rt hung'2g for her boy, but she wouldn t let us send." The thin, worn face, with thœe pitiful. wi-d.e-open, sightless eyes, turned towards Dick ae her quick ears caught the strange tread. "Is that you, Jim, dear?" she whispered. Dick took the wasted hand and gently I stroked it. "I'm Jim's pal," he said, softly; and then, as he watched the eager look of hope die on the patient face, he added, quickly, "Jim sent his love." How eagerly the poor, craving heart grasped1 even that poor message of love! With a half sob the mother clapped his hand and carried it to her thin, tr<mbiing lips. Dick stooped quickly and kissed the faded cheek; then, felLiibg on his knees by the bedside, he poured out the story of Jim's penitence. And he told her that Jim was htirt-ju-st a little hurt—

What a strange junction of tradw!" said Judge Ball. co I see a close resemblance between horses and sugar-sticks," said the witty barrister. In what way?" inquired his lordship. The more you lick them the faster they go," was the reply. In spite of the Corrupt Practices Act, (there are persons to be found who still look upon a vote as valuable property—so it would seem, at least, from the following story which comes from Yorkshire.

Kitchen utensils may be purified from long-retained smells of any kind by rinsing them out well with charcoal powder, after scouring with saDrl and water. Rugs Should never be used in the kitchen, an they absorb impurities very quickly. The ideal kitohen floor is tiled, and the next best thing to tiles is oilcloth. It is not generally known tha.t lavender W3.ter is one of the pleasanitest of disin- fectants. It is said that, sprayed through the rooms of a house situated in a malarial district, it forms a -very efficient protection against the disease. If your rugs have a habit of curling up at the oorners, sow a piece of narrow webbing, such as is nsed for holding furniture springs im place, upon the under edge. This will also prevent the rugs from pulling otst at the ends if taken hold of too near the edges when beaten.

This narrow piece can be stripped off and useu for fish stock with the head and bones. Then start and skin new the neok, and, holding it firmly with the left hand, scrape baok with the knife, getitkng it off whole, and clean in this way. The flesh is then cut away from the bone as closely as possible, and two long pieces of solid-flah are ready for cooking. With a little practice this can be done very quickly.

Crest on Baby Carriage
Crest on Baby Carriage AMATEUR DETECTIVE'S SMARTNESS Mrs. Blanche Marie Fraser, a young lady cf means, with an income of £300 a year, residing at Whitford, noa-r Bodmin, Cornwall, who was arrested on an extradition warrant in Brussels about five weeks ago, was brought up in custody at Maryleboane Polioe-oourt on W-ednegsday to further answer the charges of obtaining by fraud dresses o;nd other articles to the value of over £ 2C0 from firms in the West End. For the defence it was said that the difficulty had arisen owing to a breach of faith of a person who promised to pay £2.50 to the credit of prisoner's account. Mr. Huntley Jenkins now told the story of the prisoner's alleged frauds. It appeared that, among other thing's, she ordered three dresses, valued at ten guineas each, from Madame Stephanie. These and other things she ordered to be sent to different addresses, repeatedly changLng her directions, and finally paying with a cheque which was dis- honoured. The baby c.arr-iage she ordered was the moet expensive she could obtain, and she also paid for that by cheque. Dealing with the case of Messrs. Lee and Son, counsel said Mrs. Fraser called at their premises on Ju'ly 9 and made purchases to the amount of £ 42 18s., a'nd on the 11th made further purchases, bringing the total to £90 6s. 5d. The goods were delivered on the 16tli, aild the porter returned with a cheque. In this case, however, Mr. Charles Lee, J.P., the proprietor of the business, seemed to have been a little too smart for her, for on receipt of the cheque he, for some reason best known to himself, which perhaps was not very ha-rd to imagine, had it specially cleared and received it back marked R. D." Then. acting with 1 the greatest possible alacrity, he made inquiries and traced her to France in the way already described, where he discovered her dicing at the Con- tinental Hotel in Ostend, wearing one of his dresses. Evidence waa then given, and it was stated that a crest which Mrs. Fraser asked to be put on the ba.by carriage was a lion ram- pant holding a bugle, with a motto beneath. The day after the carriage was delivered she telephoned to the firm, saying she was pleased with the carriage, and would recommend them to her friends. The prisoner was again remanded.
IBRECON MAN'S SUICIDE
BRECON MAN'S SUICIDE I At an inquest held before Dr. W. R. Jones at Brecon on Wednesday on the oody of Thomas Powetll, 23, a fitter, who died from poisoning on Tuesday, the father, Willia.m. Powell, haulier, of 30, Silver-street, Uaaifaes, stated that his son had not been in regular employ- ment for about two years, and when he spoke to deoeaeed about the matter he usually got into a violent fit of temper. On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Powell spoke to his son about ligiliting a fire under a boiler preliminary to cutting chaff for his horses, but the son stubbornly refused to comply witih his wishes, and told his father to light the fire himself. You ought to be asbamed of yourself," said the father; what do you think will become of you by-and-bye?" What do I care?" answered the deceased. A few minutes after- wards Thorns Powell was seen to drink something from a glass in the back-yard, and a moment later he told his sister and his father he had taken poison. The jury returned a verdict of suicide during a fit of temporary insanity.
THE WORKING OF MINESI
THE WORKING OF MINES The nineteenth, annual meeting of the Institution of Mi-ndng Engineers was held in Edinburgh on Wednesday, Dr. R. T. Moore (Glasgow) presiding. The annual report showed that the tOItal membership, including honorary, ordinary, and federated members, was 3,067, and that there was a balance of assets over liabilities of £ 1,450.

Fine weather pre- vailed, and the ground was in good condi- tion. The match proved very one-sided, the local team being quite outclassed. In the first half Griffiths scored a couple of tries, and converted the lest one him- self, the interval score being eight points to nil in favour of the visitors. After the change of ends the British team oontin/ued to have matters all their own way. Griffiths scored a third try, and then Ponty" Jcmee crossed the Colonial line, Griffiths being successful with the kick. Shortly afterwards Bitson got over, and Griffiths again added the major points, while the game player also converted a try gained by Davey. Towards the end Fraeer kicked a penalty goal for the Metropolitans. The British team thus won by tour goals and two tries to one penalty goal.

Wife Shoots Herself r — a- I YOUNG MAN'S FAREWELL LETTER An inquest was held at Dublin on Wed- nesday night concerning the death of Mrs. Colquhoun, aged 37, the wife of a local solicitor, who was found shot, through the head. The husband deposed that owing to disagreements as to a number of friend- ships he separated from his wife last Mon- day. They had be. fr;m ?L??;d eleven ym. Five minutes before the firing of the shot was heard and the deceased was found dead in her room a letter was delivered by a messenger at the house, and deceased wrote a reply. Deceased, a servant said, was occa- sionally visited by a young gentleman. This young gentleman was called, and said he was seventeen next birthday. lIe had known the deceased fourteen months. She had been very kind to him. He visited the houde openily, and denied impropriety with Mrs. ColquhouirL. He knew his visits had something to do with the separation. He admitted writing the following letter:- My dear Kitty,—I am not coming to see you this morning, as I think it would make us both more unhappy than we are. I know that I have behaved as a cad and a brute to you, dear, and I can't expect you ever to forgive me, so, perhaps, it is better that we don't meet again. I shall always remember how good you were always to me, and in return how I behaved as only a cad could to you, Kitty dear. Please let me have your ad dress in England. Good-bye now, my Kitty, and I hope you will forget there was ever such a brute in the world as me." To her husband the deceased wrote: My dear Frank,—Forgive my doing this awful deed, but I am so desperately unhappy, and that wretched deed preyed on my mind so much I can't sleep. I have sent a letter to Mr. O'Oonnor to be opened by him on my death." The jury disagreed, and another jury was sworn.

REALISTIC MANDUVRES Details of the general arrangements for the autumn manoeuvres in South-east Hamp- shire were issued on Tuesday from the Alder-shot Headquarters. The work will be divided into three periods, viz., a staff tour from Sept.ember 8 to 12. opposing foroes represented by the First and Second Divisions from. Sept-em-ber 14 to 16, and the combined Aldershot troops opposed to a flagged," or skeleton force, frocm. September 17 to 19. U To give all engaged as much practical instruction in field work as possible, the periods wilil be spent in the field juei as if actual bodies of troofps were in opposition, the battles being carried on night amd day without intermission, just as would occur in modem warfare. There will be no intervals for .meals and rest in caMIPB, unless the weather is very bad, indeed, the troops will not see their encampments except on Sun- days, bivouacking in the field amd being fed in the fighting lines. Lieutenant-general Sir H. C. Smith Dorrien, K.C.B., will direct the staff tour, which stalrts at Bristol on the 8th, and will, during the second period, sit as um pire-i n-chief between the two opposing forces.

The eiea of operations will be on the South Downs, about Winchester, and the number of troops engaged. roughly, 20,000.
IAUSTRALIA AND A NAVY I
I AUSTRALIA AND A NAVY I Mr. Deakin, Premier of the Commonwealth I epeaking at the Royal Yacht Club dinner given in honour of the officers of the United States battleship fleet, said:—"The appear- ance of the fleet indicates no holiday cruise, marks for us no casual adventure. The invitation was given in a spirit of the deepest earnestness, after sober considera- tion. The concession made by the American Government in sending the fleet is, perhaps, the most generous made in recent times by one nation to another. The American battle- ships show the last word in the art of naval construction, and the lesson to the Aus- tralians is that as America was unable to take a first place in the world until she had a first-class navy, because she was only able to protest verbally against outside injustice and injury, so Australia cannot be content ultimately to accept defence at any other hands but her own hand, and should begin provision for a navy in a modest way.

WELSH MUTTONI
WELSH MUTTON I The improved representation of Welsh I sheep at the leading shows in recent years has (says a 'correspondent in the "Times") led to inquiries from probable customers in America. The Welsh mountain breed enjoys a high reputation for the quality of its mutton, and this characteristic, combined with its hardiness and ability to thrive on scanty fare, enhances its value for extensive districts in most countries, and it requires no great stretch of imagination to foresee a. brilliant future for the breed on, the other side of the Atlantic. In order to benefit by the export trade, however, registration is necessary, and the leading supporters of the breed are endeavouring to impress upon other owners the importance of associating themselves with the Welsh Sheep Flock Book Society and registering their flocks in the floak book. it is well for stookowners to remember that not only sheep, but unregis- tered stock of all kinds, however well bred, are debarred from participating in the export trade.
SAME WORK, SAME PAY I
SAME WORK, SAME PAY I A meeting of suffragettes was held in Para- dise-place, Cardiff, on Wednesday afternoon. Miss Stevenson presiding. Miss Schofield (organiser from London) stated the case for the suffragettes in measuired, melifluous terms. Man was dealt with condescendingly, yet not unkindly, with a treatment combining the suaviter in modo with the fortiter in re. The speaker empha- sised the need of initiation, especially at a time when an anti-association was energis- ing its forces, and ehe was convinced that if they acd in the right way they would soon enter into possession of the vote. She repu- diated the aspersion that the suffragettes are a set of hooligans, and explained how woman was handicapped tiirough not start- ing equally with, though as well qualified as men. Where women did the same work as men, they should be paid as men.

To-Day's Short Story.I
but he would come in a day or two, and then, they would both be happy. "Yes, wo shall all be happy then," whispered the mother "Heaven bless you, Jim's pal I Heaven bless you." Then she sat up amd II raised her finder. "Hush!" she said. "Make no noise, far my baby Jim is asleeop." Then with a sigh I Th?Q with a &i?h j the wasted form fell back on the pillow. ¡ With a low cry of horror Dick sprang to his feet, but the doctor thrust him aside. Tben with a smile he turned, and whispered:- "Happily, ahe is asleep- She will live now to take Jim back into her aching heart. But for the moment I feared your good news had killed her." I Before daybreak Dick was back in Loudon; he had come up by the early market train. "Mr. Ramsey is worse," said the nurse. "The doctor thinks he has something on his mind." "Yes, I know," answered Dick, cheerfully. "It's about his mother. He feared she was dying, but now she is going to get well again. "It's all right," he burst out as he entered the room; "your mother's better, Jim, and is waiting for you to come. Perhaps to- morrow, old chap, you can travel down." Dick was startled at the wild, despairing eyes that turned towards him. "I called yo back. Dick," said Ramsey, I hoarsely; "I called you back, but you didn't hear. You thought you .vere acting for the best, but it would have been kinder to have let her die." "Jim!" "She will never see me, oecause by to- night I shall be arrested for embezzlement." "Jim, are you mad?" "I have been mad. I have been betting again. I borrowed some of the firm's cash. I had a sure thing and thought I should be able to pay it back. I lost. I covered what I had taken with a bogus cheque. No one would be the wiser, and I was going to take it out when I had won the money. Only you and I have access to this money, Dick; but to-day the auditors will discover the for- gery. For a long time Manwaring sat without speaking. He could understand now some of the curions questions the auditors had asked him, and he remembered being puzzled about I this cheque for two hundred and eighty-five pounds. But he had never dreamed-and again Jim's mother's face came back to him. Yes, he had promised to send her boy back to her. Then. with a slight shudder, he made up his mind, and with a forced laugh told the first lie of his life. "Why, that's all right, Jim," he said. "I noticed the counterfoil yesterday morning, and I made a. shrewd guess that you bad been in trouble, so I slipped out and drew my savings and put things right." -lob, Dick! Dick!" cried Jim, between hds sobs. "How can I thank you? Wha can I say, my best of friends? You have saved my I mother's life, and now you have saved my honour." "Huish! Not another word," said Man- wring; "here comes th,, doctor. Perhaps, now you will be able to go home to-day." The doctor's report was favourable, and Dick arranged that Jim should go down that morning with the ruurse. Then, with a hearty handshake, Manwaring hurried off to business. On the way he stopped and wrote a letter; then he went to his bank and drew all his savings—his savings of years— £ 250. This money he had saved pound by pound; in the hope that some day Jessie Skinner, the pretty daughter of his employer, might listen to his pleading. But that, was all over now. It was eleven when he entered the office. He went straight to Jones and gave him a note for Ramsey, asking that he might have it the moment he returned to business. "Skinner's been asking for you," said Jones. Man waring hung up his hat and went straight to Mr. Skinner's office. "Oh, you've come to business?" asked Mr. Skinner. Yes/' said Manwaring. "There's a cheque. Mr. Manwaring be-gun Mr. Skinner. "It is a forgery," said Dick, thickly, through his dry lips. "I have brought two hundred and fifty pounds—all I have—to partly cover your loss." "Then you con-fees to embezzliaig?" "Is not the evidence enough without con- fessing?" asked Manwaring. "Plenty, I think. Detective Bangor," said fu. Skinner, drily, "this is your man." Days drifted into weeks, and weeks into months, and still Jim Ramsey's health had not recovered sufficiently to allow of his return to business. Jim could not under- stand why Dick never wrote, but thought, perhaps, he was hurt at hie deceit and at the loes of all his savings. Mrs. Ramsey was well enough now to sit on the balcony in the su-n with Jim. The operation to her eyes had been successful, and the mother and her boy spenit many happy hours together. Where is your pal,' Jim ?" asked his mother, the evening before he returned to business. Bring* him down with you on Saturday next, for I feel it was he who gave you back to me." On Monday, as Jim entered the office, be was greeted with hearty handshakes and inquiries. Where's Manwa.ring?" he asked. A sudden eilenoe fell on the fellows, and Jones handed him a note. Jim tore off the cover. It ran:— Dear Jim,—When you read this don't make any fuss. I told you a lie that morning when I said I had squared op the bogus cheque, but I had promised your mother you should come to her. If things are discovered I shall say I did it. There is no one to bother about me-and, Jim, your mother was eating her heart for you. Tell her I have gone abroad, and say •nothing, as you can do no good now.- Ever your pal. DICK. "How long did he get?" he a.sked, hoarsely. "Six months!" came the ohorns. "He embezzled some money, but old Sikinflint copped him. He's done two months nearly." Jim's mind was made up in a moment. With firm steps and set lips he strode down to Mx. Skinner's office. There he told the troth, and his chief listened to his story without a word. You must give me in charge, Mr. Skinner," concluded Jim. I must take Dick's place immediately. He will be ruined for life even if—as I hope-you take hun back." "Yes, Mr. Ramxw. I shaU taJse him backj

—I could hardly believe him guilty even when he confessed—and I shall do more—I shaJl make him a partner with me, for I a.m getting oM. Your conduct in coming straight to me directly you learned the truth shows that you ha-ve still good instincts in your heart, and as I think you were tempted and were not intentionally dishonest, you will stay in your position. I shall go down to the oourt to-day and see if I can explain it all ae a mistake, which I was not able to discover till you returned to business. You understand, Mr. Ramsey?" Shortly after Dick Manwaring wae re- leased, and Ramsey found himself most uncomfortable ae the hero who had dis- covered the mistake and set him free. A few weeks after the firm became Skinner and 343awaring, and not many months later pretty little Jeseie Skinner changed ,her name, and became the wife of the now junior partner.
