(continued). "THE SHADOW OF SOMETHING COMING." For long before Beatrice Lloyd had mar- Tied Mr. Sarrol, of Newport, there had been Something like a love affair between her and Stephen Mrnr's second son. He" Was a good-looking man, this second iiõif" ofd lihe Muirs, who had shown such few Signs of following in the foot-steps of his elder brother Alfred, the precise, plodding ado of his father, who had struck Mere- dith as being more of a machine than hum-a.n. The two brothers were as unlike in feature as they were in habit. Philip and Elsie had monopolised all the good Ifcoks in the family; and Stephen Muir was oomwy uncommonly proud of his hand- KflM, dashing son, even whilst he deplored. 1111 apparent inability to settle down to any- ithing- Probably if Philip had not been a to Itas parental prejudices, Stephen 4mld have dubbed him a roiling-stone, and might have done so with etriet truth. Elsie wondered, as the move was made Into the dining-room, what business her lever could have had with Mr. Sarrol. That if bad been anything but an ordinary -buoinew chat she had no suspicion; Stephen iilfaur, though annoyed and fuming, angry a 0.4. w4 he held responsible for outburst he had witnessed without in ieust understanding, had taken Sa.rrol's iint, and had not spoken of it to his wife W daughter. Time enough to tell them when his guests had gone. Somehow, dinner was not altogether a edS tonight; a vague constraint seemed to affect the party of seven sitting at the table: a constraint, perhaps, commumicated tieiepa-tbica 11 y by- Sarrol-who eat, un- Usnally preoccupied, contributing little to the talk, and having his glass filled rather frequently—and by Mrs. Sarrol, who seemed nervous d constrained, stealing occasional" nervous glances at her husband. An undeflnable sense of vague, impending tremble oppressed her. She could hardly [ liave told why, but she had been a bundle of serves all day. Something she read in her husband's face, in his manner, added to her ■□accountable nervousnee3. She bad caught his parting words to O'.ven Hughes—there was nothing in the words themselves; but the tones of the voice had struck her. Her VXgrrjgH. life bad taught Beatrice Sarrol to yead isfi her husband's voice subtle meanings lb" were very different sometimes from the uttered words; she had felt to-night ML though something 'had been moving ^•ecretly behind thoee words, something • orninouB; that envelope addressed to the tmpemtteadent of police had strengthened tte UtttMBSKHl. 4DIace as she east a furtive glance at him, I lire saw his lips form a word. It was the word "Thief." And there was a cruel gleam j Is Ue heavy, flushed face that she had kr;arned to know and fear. Jofen Sturrol was wondering what course gh OWd',taiw when half-past nine brought ^wen Hughes to him-the man who had affiled him a thief. Onoe when he spoke to Beatrice, it was in • 461ift domineering voice that made Philip xVin hands clench under the table. Th rollout dinner, Philip had talked *fano«t exclusively to her, ignorMig-bef buarbacd in a manner almost pointed. j*erhape he had never really been very detfply in Ion with Beatrice Lloyd-not so genuinely, at any rate, as he now fancied himself to have been; but-it was 1 characteristic of the weak, self-indulgent I Dre of a. man like Philip Muir, who had teen 9poHt as a child by his mother, and k." by many women caught by the. attraction of his handsome face-now that die was no longer free, he liked to tell himself that she was the only woman he had wm thought seriously about, who had made a dlijet-erjee in his life-the forbidden fruit that always the sweetest—until he had almost •OUte to believe in his own pose. ADd to-night the pose was getting out of j iMaid in some extraordinary way, afllay from tdB control. Hie had seen little of her since tow m; he had been away from Pen- -the tAme-af it. The sight of the fragile prettiness that had always appealed to bim-tha.t and the occasional shrinking Ippk she stole at her husband, that told its •wn tale, had mounted to his head. How he Dtfted the overfed brute opposite to him, witt j traces of has exoeeees already showing in -his face—how he hated the man! Under the oircumetanoee conversation lan- CtHehed. Elsie, who usually kept the abll rolling in fcer animated way, was teusy with her tJhoughts-hppy thoughts about her lover _t were like the lilt of a song in her heart. Ife-wos so wonderful: she minot have oared all ■• 0frog, bot ffntil his impetuous words she i ?d not resal-d th" she cared in that wa71 4E to?e; it ??s M though a.t the touch of  ae h-y &M the v4i had been striMMd abm bw et?ea In a mom?at. She must j :„ ha-ve eared for him! fsfew* mme a tender eajale abont bar nwotb ae she looked down at the spray of syringa at her breast that Owen had pinned there. She, knew there would be difficulties to face- obstacles; but she always had her own way in the end with the father who doted on her. And she would have her way in this. And even if they were comparatively poor, she and Owen, until he had made his way, what did that matter? Youth and love can con- templa-te poverty eo serenely. Then the voice of Joohn Sarrol broke in upon her pleasant thoughtis--a reference to Detmold's death. Elsie's faoe frowned a little. She did not want to think of tragic things—she wanted to think only of her new, wonderful happi- ness. Sarrol was chuckling, as if at some secret joke; his heavy face rose red and flushed over the vast, bulging expanse of shirt front. Meution of Detmold led to the topic cf his sister, Mrs. Angeray, and her stolen pearls. "Ever see that girl, Olive Lindsay, old Meredith's protegee, who took 'em," asked Sarrol. 1 supose you have, Muir?" -No; she never came to Cardiff, I think," replied Stephen Muir. "That escapade of erswas a lucky thing for young Meredith., ehr" "Poor girl said Mrs. Sarrol suddenly, with a touch of feeling. "What a sad affair it was" Her husband broke in rudely: Oh, 'poor girl.' be banged! Hope they ga.ve her skilly and spoilt her pretty hands scrubbing her cell floor," he &aid. with his unpleasant laugh. "She was pretty. I've heard-and all women are jealous of other pretty women, and I expect if you'd only confess it, for aJl your charming pose of pity, my &ar, you hope so, too!" For a moment there was a dead silence. It seemed to strike even Sarrol that he had gone a shade too far; at the intolera.ble rudeness Mrs. Sarrol's face flushed and then went white Philip suddenly turned his eyes from her face to Sarrol's, and said: "I know you are an authority on company promoting. I wonder if you are an authority on women, Mx. SaxTW?" He could not keep the words back. But a swift .after-impulse caused him to try to tone down this deliberate bruequerie to his father's guest by a would-be genial laugh. One had only to look at his eyes to realise how forced the laugh was. Another moment's awkward pause followed. Mrs. Starrol glanced nervously at her husba.nd. half afraid of what might follow this act of championship. Sarrol otared at Philip for an inetant; then unex- pectedly lau.-hed-perhaPs, he felt that the weight of sympathy was against him. A laugh in which Mrs. M,uir with a sense of relief joined. She had been watching her son ..a.Jl:xiQ. Alfred threw himself into the breach to create a diversion. Hullo, was that a flash of summer lightning outside? Hope we aren't going to have a storm." "Hope not, for my wife's sake-and our drive back to Newport to-night. You'd be a bit nervy, eh, Bee?" he said, speaking with an effort at amiability. One had only to look at the pink and white doll-like face to feel that Beatrice Sarrol was a bundle of nerves. And yet there had t«gen at time a a look in her face, in her eyes, aijice her marriage that seemed to hint that perhaps in this dainty, delioate doll of a -woman there were deeper latent potenti- alities waiting to be brought out at the tcrucl1 of Me and fate. Anyhow, the car's broken in," added kiarrol with heavy httmOur-" she won't shy now at a peal of thunder." It appeared likely, however, that there would be no &torm-th&t, indeed, Alfred had invented the lightning in his desire to change the subject; as Philip and Beatrice Sacral realised when at lam di-aner was over. and they wandered out together on to the verandah into the pleasant cool of the sum- mer night. There was no moon; only a handful of stars piercing the dark spaces of the sky. The soft night air was full of the scent of flowers. The peaceful garden lay half-revealed, half-imagined in the deepen- ing dusk, as the man and the woman walked slowly aJong the verandah. Sarrol, Stephen Muir, and Alfred had betaken themselves to the billiard-room to smoke a.nd tallc shop before Philip and Beatrice had left the ladies in the drawing-room. The side of the great house, where the Fspnch window of the library was, lay in deep shadow, pierced by no lights from any window. The library was in darkness, that room where at half-past nine Owen Hughes was to hear his fate. Beyond the frame of woodwork of the open long window in the room lay a wall of grey darkness and gloom. Walking along the verandah, Philip and Mrs. Sarrol had turned the earner Qf the house to this more desolate side, and their footsteps brought them to the library window. The woman sudd-ellly gave a little, unoon- teollabile. shiver.. "I am ajraid you are cold?" Philip cried anxiously. Her face looked pale. No." She gave a little laugh that sounded forced. I was thinking how dark and uncanny it looks in there, in that room- dajrk and sinister and silent, almost like a gmve! Phiiip—I suppose I oughtn't to call you Philip?—odd fancies i»iae to us women sometimes, and—don't laug-hat me ——" I won't laugh." "Perhaps I've been, faaiciful all day-and it's my unlucky day to-day: that may have something to do with' feeling as I do," she said; "queer, superstitious fancies that come to one sometimes, one doesn't know why or of wbat-have you ever feit like that, Philip, as Bom-ehow I feel to-nigbt?-appa.rently with- out any ca/use, juet as though some impend- ing evil was casting its shadow before and unconsciously one's miind was oppressed by the shadow of that something coming-" She broke off abruptly, as if half asha-med of the sudden impulse of her mood that had prompted the odd words, her eyes resting with a curious intentness on the dimly out- lined window and the recesses of deep gloom beyond that it framed: dark, silent, sinister, u she had said of i^—like a grave.

I.Novel Souvenir
Novel Souvenir FOR CARDIFF THEATRE GOERS If for nothing else but to obtain a, copy of the comic souvenir, the public should visit the New Theatre next Monday evening, when Mr. Seymour Hioks will appear with Miss Maie Ash and the original Aldwych Theatre oompany in "The Gay Gordons." On opening a prettily designed cover twenty humorous drawings of scenes and incidents in the play axe found, and each of them is worth a frame. There is. moreover, at the foot of each plate a delightfu-l explanation (written by Miss Betty Hicks, the four-year-old daughter of Seymour Hicks), who tells the reader in a prefatory letter, addressed to "Mr. a.nd Mrs. Public and all the little Publics," that she under- took the editing of the souvenir, as she was "nearly a quarter to four, and no one can remain a cynic at that age." The following are re-productions of soane of the drawings in the souvenir:- This is mttmmy with the dog, it is called 'Brandy.' Daddy christened him 'Brandy' because he has only to pat the dog and 8åy S-oda, and the servants understand. Isn't he" qwck?" This is daddy telling mammy he loves her. He does not do it a bit like this at home, and they do not have tea on thfl.oor at our hmlse-at leetst, only during spring- cleaning. I often ask daddy why he crawls about the stage in this act so much, and he says it is because his knees get so cold in a kilt when he stands up." This is my daddy's cigar, amd the lines at the baok of it are Winkle's idea of my daddy's face. I wouldn't say he was like Martin Harvey-one of them wouldn't like it; but I ask you."

Germany's Naval Scheme I II MORE DREADNOUGHTS TO BE BUILT I The particulars of the German Navy Estimates for the year 1909, published yes- terday in Berlin, indicate tha-t the German Navy Act, passed in the spring of the present year, is being carried out to the letter, not- withstanding Germany's financial difficulties. Under that Act the figures of the German Estimates were fixed- as follows:- 190S £ 16,640,000 1909 20,200.000 1910 22,CtO,etO ii .I. ?. 1 In view of the fact that the British naval programme for the year 1909 is being settled at the present time by the Admiralty and the Treasury, special interest attaches to the German programme for next year.

PAT'S PRECAUTION. Two witnesses were up the other day at a South of Ireland assizes in a case which con- cerned long-continued poultry stealing. As usual, nothing • could be got from them in the way of evidence until the nearly baffled prosecuting counsel asked in a tragic tone: Will you swear, Pat Larragiwi, that Triad y O'Farreli has never, to your know- ledge, stolen chickens?" The responsibility of the last lie was too much for the witness. Shnre, I don't know about that same," said Pat, but I do know," he added, straightening himself, "that if I was a chicken, and Thady was about, I'd roost high 1" ONLY A SECONDARY MATTER. "Yes," said the affable theatrical manager, "our next production is to be something really wonderful in the way of a comic opera." "Got something new?" asked the inter- viewer "Yes, indeed. I have engaged Drillem Daily, the famous stage manager, to devise the evolutions and groupings of the chorus; I have retained Cuttan Fittem, the cele- brated costumier, to plan and prepare the garments worn by the principals and the chorus, and I have engaged Redden Yaller, the renowned scenic artist, to execute the stage settings. Can you beat that?" "But who are to write the music and the libretto?" "Pooh. Haven't had time to think about that yet."

DIVORCED HUSBAND'S OFFER I "If you will proceed to obtain a divorce, for which I understand you have ample grounds, your husband will alLow you L400 a year." This communica-tign Mrs. Ada Maria Smith, of Harrow, reoeived in 1906 from a representa- tive of her huwbsnd, a surgeon-captain a-titached to the Indian Army. She replied that such a course as was suggested was "contrary to the teaching of her dear father," and forbidden by her Church. She declined indignantly to enter into any bargain of the sort. She subsequently obtained an order for restiturtion of conjugal rights. This was not complied with, and her husband was found to have been unfaithful. Yesterday she was granted a decree nisi in the Divorce Court.

BILLIARDS. 8.-CANNONS TO LEAVE AN IN-OFF, (COPYRIGHT). [By RISO LEVI"] Diagram 554 Elhows a, position wherein the only stroke to play is a very thin cannon off the white. Owing, however, to the cue ball being in such close proximity to the white the can-non is quit i:t> easy stroke. Here again, by playing a gentle stroke, position for an in-off- from the white can be left to continue with. A gentle thin stroke will only move the- object white an inch or two, and thus it is bound to remain well situated for an in-off, provided that the cue ball takes the red ball half-ball-or fuller—on the side I away from the top cushion. Diagram 554.-A gentle thin, ball-to-ball cannon to leave an in-off from the white. In the diagram the balls are so situated that a cannon on to the outside of the red or even full on to it, even tho,ugh it only slightly moved the white, oould only leave portion for a forcing or screw in-off from the white, but by getting on to the infride of the red—that is, on to the side away from the cushion—the cue ball will travel a little farther into the open, and in this wa-y the in-off thoa,t should follow will be rendered much less difficult, and may even be made quite a simple stroke. When, on the other hand, the position of the cue ball and the object white is such tha-t a cannon full on to the red, made by a stroke which only slightly moves the white, can only leave a. thtli in-off to continue with, the cannon must be played in such a wsty that the white is moved some little distance. This is, of course, easily effected by using a, little more pace. An alternate way of getting good position for the in-off, when a gentle cannon full on to the red oa.n only leave a very thin in-off, is by pJayinig the cannon very gently on to the outside of the red, so that the oue ball, after reaching this ball, may travel towards the cushion. Diagram 555 shows a variation of the posi- tion illustrated on Diagram 554. The situa- tion o.f the object ba-Ils is very similar as regards the nature of the cannon, but the stroke is down the table instead of across it, and the cue ball is outside the object white and the pocket instead of being between them. Here, again, a gentle stroke, which hardly moves the white and which causes the cue ball to cannon pretty full on to the red, will leave good position for an in-off from the white. Diagram 555.—A thin cannon taking the red on the inside to leave an in-off from the white. Should the position be such that a gentle sitroke, which hardly moves the white, and which causes the cue ball to cannon full on to the red, will only leave position for a very wide in-off from the white, the red ball, instead of being ta-kem full, must be taken on the butsiide, and in this way the in-off from the white which should follow will be leas wide than it would otherwise have been, and may even be a simple half-ball stroke. A slightly faster stroke which still causes the cue ball to cannon full on to the red, but which moves the object white more than the gentle stroke does, will also often bring about the same result. Sometimes a combination of the two mothods may be advantageously employed. When the position' is such that, however slightly the object white may be moved, a full or nearly full contact with the red can only leave a narrow in-off from the white, the red must be taken, on the inside, for by taking the red on the inside the wfll travel towards the side cushion, and this will cause the subsequent in-off from the white to be less narrow than it would .otherwise have been, even when it does not make it quite a simple stroke. Diagram 556 shows a. position for a thin ball-to-ball cannon. A gentle stroke which causes the cue ball to cannon full, or nearly full, on to the object white will generally leave position for a centre-pocket in-off from the white, though when the contact is not quite full, the centre pocket into which the in-off must be played, will depend upon whether the red has been taken to the right or to the left. When the cannon is played with gentle strength, position for an in-off from the white will very often be left, den, though this ball may be taken much lees than half-ball. Diagram 556.—A thin ball-to-ball can-non. Red on the &pot; object white on the central line of the. ta-ble and about 12 inches above the centre pockets. Oue baJl 7 inches, from the top cushion and 2Bi inches .from the side cushion. Position may be left for a centre-'pocket in-off from the white. A thin contact will hardly move the white, and thus the cue ball will come to rest at a point lower down the table—that is nearer to baulk—than the white, ofte-n to leave quite an easy stroke for the centre pocket. Even should the in-off, which is left, require quite a thin stroke, such a stroke will not be a very difficult one, for, in the first place, the cue baU will not be fa-ir from the white, and secondly, the in-off will be into a very open pocket- MT.

CARDIFF EMPIREI
CARDIFF EMPIRE I MT. Fred Ginnett's company will appear iIf" Diok Turpin." Mr. Fred Ginnett's mare has perhaps attained the highest place occu- pied by any equine performer. Clever hors& have not been few, but all associated with this famous mare declare her to be unique in her part. Much of the interest naturally centres round the mare, which bears the great highwayman to York, and dies within sight of the historic Minster Towers. It may be too much to say that the scene in which the good mare dies, induced by exhaustion, makes the sketch; but, however that may be, it is a certainty that the pathos of the incddent cajoles the ready tear, from the sympathetic eye just as easily as does the death of "Little Willie" in "East Lynne." That is why the animal which is employed to represent the celebrated black mare must be perfect in her business, and Mr. Fred Ginnett declares that there never has been such a mare for the part as the Bess to be seen next week at the Empire. Newport I Machnow, the Russian giant, will be the I premier attraction. The tallest man in the world, he stande 9ft. 2in. in height, weighs 27 &tone. and is 25 years of age. By profes- sion he is a farmer, and owns 2,000 acres of land on the outskirts of Moscow. Machnow will arrive at Newport on Sunday, and will be conveyed to the Empire in a full-sized j furniture van. Another important engagement is that of Hermann Melot, the well-known conjuror, who has as is motto, Men were deceivers ever." Miss Rhoda Paul, a clever juvenile artiste, appears in a scene specially written and composed for her by Charles Wilmott and Hermann Darewski, jun., entitled, "The Gay Gordons." Victor Newmann, the impersonator; Bi-Bo-Bi, the charming Pavilion Girls, and E. J. Sheldon, complete this strong baH.

THE QUEEN'S BOOK I - I
THE QUEEN'S BOOK I I The stimulating effect which the appearance of her Majesty's Gift Book had upon the public has been daily displayed since its issue on November 13 by the continuance of the enormous demand for copies. Up to the preeont time an the copies which have been despatched to booksellers and agents have been devoted to satisfying the orders sent in to the respective firms, and this condition of affairs will probably last until the end of the week, when it is hoped that the book will make its appearance upon the bookstalls generally. Arrangements have now been effected, through the kindness of his Excellency the Russian Ambassador, whereby extensive pub-, licity will be given to the Queen's -Book in Russia, and it is hoped soon to be able to announce that the book itself will be able to be issued to that country free of Customs duty, as well as to Norway, Sweden, and Denmark.
..MURDER OF AN ARTIST
MURDER OF AN ARTIST Paris, Saturday.—In connection with the mysterious murder of the artist, M: Stfemheil, and his mother-in-law m May last, the "Matin" to-day announces that Remy Couillard, the dead man's valet de chambre, was artcst-ed last night.. When charged he declared his innocence, but he wilt be further interrogated to-day, and the police believe that the mystery will at last be cleared up. The arrest (says the "Matin") is due to the active investigations of Mme. Steinheil, who always expressed suspicion of Couillard. After following up various' clues there was at last discovered in the valet's pocket-book a pearl taken o-ut of its setting, which Mme. Steinheil recognised as having belonged to her.
