tfO-OAY'S SHORT STORY.] An Eventful Day. By MABEL COLUNS. [ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] Bthel, I have got promotion! I did not sxpeot ift quite so soon!" The girl to whom this was said, in a quick soft whisper, slowly raised her head. Her brown eyes were somewhat shyly lifted, but they looked frankly and clearly into George Marchmont's, which were so steadily fixed on her. In a, moment he had moved away, and Ethel's head was again beret over a. big ledger which lay open before her. She was a, cashier and book-keeper at Ster- ling and Smith's, oaie of the large Regent-I street jewellers. It was a well-paid post, a.nd a very good one. But she had looked" forward for years to the happy doay when she would resign from it. That would be very soon now, for it depended only on George Marehmomt getting his pro-motion. He was one of the salesmen, and had proved himself worthy of great confidence. He had cherished the hope far some time toot in a year at most he would 00 placed in such a. position that he would be able to marry. And all had been told to Ethel in. that brief whisper; in the glance inter- changed all was said between thein. At luaich-time she had an Hour free. She did not often go out oÎ the shop, but to-day she put on her hat and went out. She turned into a little aide street, knowing that George would come to look for her there, and so he did—and immediately that he was near enough to speak low he asked her bow soon the wedding might be. "Give your notice this afternoon, dear," be said, "Don't delay a single day! And let lis be married directly it is up." And. in a moment or two Ethel was again at her desk, and George at his place in the showroom. It was a very busy afternoon, and George went steadily on exhibiting jewels, for the safety of which he was responsible. A group of three gentlemen came in to- gether. Ethel looked up as they entered. and was struck by the face of one, which site felt sure she had seen before. It was not this which attracted her attention, for she beoame familiar wÜh many faces of persons whom she did not know from seeing them in the shop. It was the character of the head which interested her; long, narrow, dark- skinned with strange, brilliant, intense eyes. The clean-shaven face had a slightly Chinese expression. Ethel associated it with some amusing or agreeable circumstance, she felt sure, but she could not recollect what it was. This man, who was very well dressed, and wore a superb ring on a singularly delicate a.nd well-shaped hand, went to the place where Georga Marchmont was standing and spoke to him. The two men who were with him stood one on each side of him, but ieemed to have no concern with his pur- chases beyond that of friendly interest. He vaulted a necklace for a wedding present, and he seemed prepared to pay a large sum or it. George brought out some magnificent diamond necklaces, and he did not seem at all alarmed at the high prices asked for them. His fancy seemed taken most by a. necklace of diamonds with a black pearl set as a pendant. The price of hia was a thousand pounds. He took a long time comparing the beauty of this with the beauty of others shown to him; at last he said, decidedly: "I shail take this one. It is very extrava- gant of me, I know, but none of the others really please me. I have Bank of England notes with me, so I will pay for it and take it now." "Which of the two cases do you like best?" asked George, showing him one lined with white velvet and one lined with yellow satin. He tried the effect of the jewels on the two colours, and the buyer took some moments to decide between them. Eventually, he chose the white velvet. While he was mak- ing this decision George was turning over in his mind whether he would fetch one of the &rm to look at the notes, or whether be should take the responsibility himself. It was rather hard to come to a conclusion as to which would produce the best effect at this critical juncture. He decided to take the entire responsibility himself. He was perfectly certain that he knew a. genuine note, and he was also confi- dent that he could tell a genuine purchaser from a cheat. The purchase was completed; the case was closed, and the notes laid down on the counter counted and closely examined. "I should like a. receipt," said the pur- chaser. "Certainly," said George, and he went across to the desk where Ethel and another bookkeeper were at work, and. obtaining a billhead, wrote out a receipt, signing it with his own name on behalf of the firm. Then he returned to the counter, where the notes and the jewel-case still lay before the three men. He showed the receipt to the purchaser, then folded it and handed it to him. The man took up the jewel-case, gave him the notes, and in a moment the three men very quickly left the shop, got into a motor-car which stood at the door, and were gene. As tha car flashed away, going on the wrong side and whisking round corners in the way motor-cars do. George Marchmont flung himself out through the swing-doors of the shop, to the amazement of the men in charge ot them, who could not open them quickly enough for him. Hatless and wild. he toro a.t full speed down Regent-street. Poor George had lost his reason for the moment—to think of pursuing a motor-car! In a short time he realised hi.3 folly, and stopped and staggered about; the friendly policeman took his arm and led him back. He stemed unable to speak. They went intO the shop, and the police warned the crowd away. George caught sight of Ethel's drawn, white, frightened face as he came in at the doors, and the tears came into his eyes. The chief was standing close to him. "What has happened?" he demanded. "I am ruined!" said George, wildly. "It is awful. I never heard of such a thing!" "But what i3 it?" said the chief again. "Ploase explain, Mr. Marchmont-" "That man who was here just now bought the diamond necklace with the black pearl pendant. He paid me in Bank of England notes, ten hundred pound notes; they were genuine. He asked for a, receipt. I gave it him, and I took the notes from him, or I thought I did—it is the most amazing thing- he has gone with the necklace, the receipt, and the notes!" The chief took him by the arm. Ccome into my room," he said. He meant to be kind. George felfc he was under arrest. The chief went back to the shop and sent a message to Scotland Yard, then he noticed that Ethel's head lay on her ledger. She had fainted. She had seen and heard all. It seemed impossible to bring her round, and a doctor -was the. nBxt person sent for. The chief had a great liking for Ethel, for her own sake and also for the sake of her father, who had been a friend of his. Everything was set aside for the moment while Ethel was carried into a quiat room and cared for When the doctor came and took charge of ber. and said he was sure she would soon recover, the chief went back into the shop to find a, condition of intense excitement. There were poiioe in the shop and outside, where several stood round a motor-car, though onl the chauffeur was in it. The three men who had gone away with the neck- lace were stikftdirrg in the shop, and the pur- chaser of the necklace was asking for George Marchmont. George neard his voice and came out, closely followed by the policeman who had been watching him. The purchaser of the necklace went up to the counter and put on it the esse containing the necklace, the receipt, and the notes. "I 90rry to have caused so much anxiety," he said in a quiet, clea.r voice; I ought perhaps not to have left the shop at all; but I have only been gone a quarter of an hour. I regret the anxiety I have caused, and will make any amends I can. My namo is Henry Duveen. of the Amusements Music Hall." He put a card on the counter. The Superintendent of Police looked at it and nodded. A wager was laid that I oould not perform this trick without stage accessories, in ordi nary private life. These two gentlemen rep- resent two London daily papers." The explanation produced an amazing effect —all faces expressed utter astonishment- George's most of them all. Henry Duveen looked at him- I fear this must seem a heartless joke to you." he said. "You look prostrated. Will you (jpme and &,00 me in my dressing-room to- night?" He left the case of jewels on the counter, and the receipt, took up the notes, and then, a-fter speaking a few words in a low voice to the chief, weint away. The police soon went away also, and the shop resumed its usual aspect, save for the absence of Ethel from her pest. George returned to his, preferring to do so. In the evening he went to the stage-door of the. Amusements Theatre, and was at once taken to the great conjurer's dressing-room. Duveen was on the stage, but in a few moments he came into the room. I hope you have forgiven me," he said to George, looking at him earne8tl. I ain afraid to ask yon if you have. It was very selfish of me to expose you to s'1ch terrible a.nxiety. Of course, it means a great deal to -me as you will understand. My powers will never be doubted again. Will you please accept these notes, the amount of the wager itself, as some little recompense for the trouble I have caused yon?" And ho put into George's hand the ten hun- dred pound notes. It is nothing," he said, in answer to the look he met. "I make money 30 fast! And will you forgive They shook hands warmly, and George took a. hansom and drove straight to Ethel's home to td1 her boy the eventful day had eD4ed.
HOW RAFFLES WOULD ACT ————-0-————
HOW RAFFLES WOULD ACT ———— -0- ———— IF HE WERE CHASING INSTEAD, OF THE CHASED. BY THE MYSTERIOU-S MR. RAFFLES. Were I a sleuth do you know how I would set to work in order to win the Baffkn reward? You don't? Well, then, I will tell you. First of all I would recognise that the job would involve a little HEAD WORK-hence on would go my thinking-cap, adjusted cor- rectly and tightly. I would read and mentally digest the con- ditions of the chase, dovetailing into my memory the all-important fact that Mr. Raffles must be accosted with an accusation and not with a, question. Then my reason -would tell me that the originator of the Raffles scheme knew something of human nature, knew that for every man with sufficient courage to make an accusation there would be a dozen less bold who dare venture on putting a question. I would follow closely both. Mr. Raffles' stories and his replies to correspondents, and, for corroboration of my self-deduced evidence therefrom, I would call on some of the PHOTO OF RAFFLES. business housestho,t RaJIles has visited. From one or the other I would elicit infor- mation substantiating my preconceived ideas on the subject, plus a little enuli g'ttenmeiit respecting his carriage, whether straight- backed or stoop-shouldered, the colour of his eyes and moustache, and probably a, hint regarding a noticeable characteristic. I would place the most value on the evidence of ladies in matters pertaining to Raffles' physiognomy, knowing that the feminines are Keen on facial subjects. I "would ask if peculiarities were observable in his action, manner, or gait; if slow or quick of motion; stolid or alert; if addicted to gesture. carrying handB in pockets, and so on. The resultant in-formtaftton received," as the poiioe say, would enable me to join in the hunt with some prospect of success, providing I did not lose sight of the ele- mental fact that my part was that of an inexperienced hound in pursuit of an old fox who has taken part in three score chases, and knows every stage, every nook and cAraAnny in the course. I would recognise that the quarry must necessarily be more than my match in cun- ruing and tactics, bernce I must not expeot to run him to cover in a few hours, nor would I grumble because I found the wrong trail a score of times. Were he to beguile me, lure me on to his trail purposely to 'throw me off, I would doff my hat to his trickinesis, and kick my- self for my timidity and hesitancy in not challenging him Ere He Had Time to Fool Me, I would certainly not go a-hunting in expeotation of finding a, man who carried Raffles" on eithex his face, attire, or actions. Common-sense would tell me that I was in quest cf a man of ordinary everyday action, a man of indifference and confidence, a man who by neither word, look, nor deed would give himself away. Cold reason would inform me that the man who acted sus- piciously would not, could not, possibly ))e the man I hunted. If the chase ended unsuccessfully for me I would not, as a man, attempt to cover my own demerits, or disparage my quarry's 'ability venting such anaemic assininities and feeble falsehoods as "Raflles wouldn't own up." "Raffles rode a bike," and similar aanSty-slaying senilities. And now I have a big, hard, running kick to administer on local sleutihs for your UTh- accountable, un,intell"gible timidity. Your timidity outweighed your pOlwen; of observa- tion, everything. Aye, even the powerful incentive of gain was overwhelmed and annihilated by foolish, effeminate timidity. No use in hanging back; it is the aggressive, pushing man who gets there in these sultry times of strenuous competition. Besides, what harm can there be in challenging the wrong man? One is prepared for all that kind of thing when Raffles is b,Te. Occasion- ally yoa may run across some ill-conditioned, splenetic, churlish ignoramus who will smib you, but you can't extract the wherewithal far a silk wallet from the ear of a sow. Cold Feet." Some of you were as keen as hawks in the early stages of the chase, but all too soon you acquired cold feet—yea, your -tootsies boecnme frigid ere the chase was a week old. You ought to have buoyed yourselves with the reflection that Raffles' experience as the bunted exoesded yours as the hunter, hence 'twas hardly probable you could oa.tch him in the first half-dozen laps. My experience would fill a big volume, yours not a title page, so what could you expect? Strange it is that the people of Newport and other outside places have evinced more interest in this chase than many of you Gardiffians have. And it did not take them a week to recognise that the chase had begun, as it did many local people. Com- parisons are odious, hence you can make them for yourselves. In fact, most of you local sleuths took so long to get into the game that I begun to fancy myself in a city of millionaires where £ 25 was of no earthly account. However, your eye-bath came later, and now you begin to show interest. Better late than never. Well, well. Cardiff stands alone in that I cannot invite you to meet me at any parti- cular place this afternoon. Police inter- ference spoils the fun. Stadd, dull, and terribly respectable OajxJiff! Seeing that I am -lik)t allowed to thus throw that S,25 in your teeth, I have perforce to continue my weary rounds as usual. Dis- appointed! 'Tis not the word to express it. The D-ocks! Yes, I may accept your invita- tions in a day or two amd come to the Decks, providing you don't scalp me ere I get thare.

FACTS ABOUT THE SKIN
FACTS ABOUT THE SKIN Eczema, the most common of all skin troubles, is not a blood disease, but is due to an inflamed condition of the skin. Internal physics will not effect a. cure. This dan- gerous and distressing disease is best eradi- cated by direct external applications of the new discovery. Cadum. It stops the itching at once and begins the healing process with the first application. For pimples, black- heads, blotches, eruptions, rash, scaly skin, sores, chaflrigs. &c., nothing else cures like Cadum. Mr. C. Weeke. Lower GStes, Tice- hurst, says" For seven years I was troubled with eczema on my legs and arms I with considerable itching and soreness. I never saw anything so wonderful as the way Cadum cleared my skin. In two weeks the spots had all gone." Trial box 6d., large box Is., of chemists or Omega, Ltd., London, N. e2

Fashion in Wallpaper
Fashion in Wallpaper BLACK PATTERN FOR FAIR WOMEN Women with fair complexions, flaxen or golden hair, and unlimited means for house furnishing will Tejoioe to hear that a wall- paper has been invented that will do justice to their charms. Every variety of colour in wall-paper has bean tried in vain by the West End-the women with fa.ir faces arad flaxen hair have always, had a grievance. Either their com- plexion and hair did not "go with" the paper or the paper did not go with the complexion and hair. Dark-haired woman, with southern skins, have found almost a;ny hue of vvall-papeir effective, whether white or crimson or green, but a woman with a complexion' of lilies and a crown of flat has always fel,t that tihey were not shown up to full advan- tage by the wall-papers of the present day. A West End of the fair type, determined to put an end to this unjust oon- dition of things, has had the happy thought of trying the one hue that has hitherto been shunned by every one but undertakers —namely, black. The decoration is being arranged by Anne Austen, of Bond-street, and Miss Samuda, who has the matter in hand, tokl a press representative yesterday that the effect of the new scheme is astonishingly striking and beautiful. "The black ground of the paper," Miss Ba.mudta said, "is relieved with Chinese flowers in lizard green and a very beauti- ful blue, with sprays of a dull rose ink. The black ground offers, as may be imagined, a perfect foil for fair com- plexions. The artistic 'value' of the flesh tone. is gireatly enhanced by the contrast, and although I should not recommend the bll.'l{':k paper for livimig rooms in London, w,here we want all the reflected light we can get, I tJhJnk that for reception-rooms the new paper will be greatly admired, although it is too expensive to be popular."

Mr. Percy Hutchison will be seen as Monty Brewster," MISS ClO-i^x .srUCKEY. I a part which suits him like the proverbial glove. and described by the London press as a performance practically unequalled in the West End for years past, his clever and finished performance keeping the audience rocking with laughter. Mr. Hutchison has strong support. the cast including such popu- lar names as Mdmes. Lilias Ea-rie and Cicely Stuokey and Messrs. Charles Esdale and Henry Hampson, all favourites in Cardiff, and all fresh from the success at Wyndham's.

"Wanted to End it All"
"Wanted to End it All" GERMAN CLERK'S CURIOUS STATEMENT A German clerk, named Albert Schernikaw, aged 35, was charged at Bow-street yester- day with att-emptdiig to commit suicide. It was alleged that on October 25 the prisoner engaged a bedroom at the Ctoaring Cross Hotel, and shortly afterwards was found lying- on his bed in an unconscious condition. A six-chambered revolver loaded in four chambers, an empty veronal tabloid bottle, and a glass of milk were found on a table by the side of the bed. He was taken on an ambulance to Charing Cross Hospital, and remained in an unconscious co-nditdon for two days. When he recovered he made the following statement to a detective:- I have only one friend in London, and I felt so miserable because I could not find her that I took all that was in that bottle. I wanted to end it all. I was in China up to three years ago. I had to leave through fever. Two years ago I came to London, a.nd met a lady at a boarding-house. She promised to help me if I ever needed it. I have lived on my means frcm the time I left China, and, being at the end of my resources, I left Antwerp a fortnight ago to come to London, with a view to getting £100 from the lady to take me to Australia. When I arrived I felt ashamed to communi- cate with her. Reading in the papers of a case of veronal poisoning, I purohased a bottle of veronal tabloids, and then, after destroying all my papers, I went to Charing Cross Hotel and took the whole of the taJbloids. Detective-sergeant Collins said that a oom- munioa,tion had been sent to the lady referred to by the prisoner, and she stated thail. he bad tried to borrow money from her, but she did not wisth to have anything to do with him. A remand was ordered

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS ANO DAINTY DISHES It is an excellent plan to buy meat very fresh and hang it till tender. In order to do this it is necessary to have an outside banging safe. In good weather—that is, cool, clear, and dry weather—beef may be hung from two to four days; mutton will kc-ep even longer; but veal, lamb, and pork ought not t') be hung for more than a day or so. Rice Pudding Three ounces of rice. one pint of milk, sugar, one egg, nutmeg. Put the rice in cold water, bring it quickly to the boil, and boil gently for a quarter of an hour, and then drain it well. Let it stew in the milk very slowly for three-quarters of an hour, sweeten it. and when it is cool beat in the egg. flavour with nutmeg, pour it into a piedish, and bake for half an hour. lomatoes and Bacon Four tomatoes, four ra.shers of bacon, pepper, bread. Warm a frying-pan, lay in it I the ra?her? neatly trimmed; fry, turning I them several times, and set a?ide; havescmo crustless rounds of bread, and fry in the fat; fry the tomatoes in slices, adding pepper, and TIsing a little more fat, if necessary. Serve the rashers on the bread with the tomatoes round. Cavalier's Mutton I A shoulder of mutton, salt, pepper, flour, mushrooms. Stew or boil the mutton until nearly cooked, lift it out, score it on both sides; season well with salt and cayenne, and finish cook- ing it in the oven. Stew the mushrooms, chop up three or four of them, sprinkle over the mutton, and let it brown in the oven. Skim some of the siock, thicken it with flour, and put in the gravy that has come from the mushrooms. Dish up the meat, pour the gravy round, garnish with the stewed mush- rooms, and serve.

NEWPORT EMPIRE
NEWPORT EMPIRE The famous Lancashire comedian, George Pormby, heads the bill at Newport Empire next week, and his performance, as usual, will be found funny enough to make the proverbial stuffed bird smile.

Wilbur Hill, the refined singers and instrumentalists, will I give their rendering of the characteristic melodies and songs of the coloured folk in South America, and W. A. Haines and Bort-h- wick's company will appear in a new and farcical sketch, Half a Dollar."

The solution of our Fourth Problem is a. very pretty kiss cannon, a type of stroke j which may at times be somewhat of the "trick" variety. but is, neverthe- less, a stroke the average amateur would do well to study.

I CARDIFF EMPIRE.
I CARDIFF EMPIRE. The star item of next week's Cardiff Empire bill will be Fred Karno's successful produc- tion, "The Yap Yaps." The first scene is on the Brighton promenade, the next outside the National Sporting Club, and the third inside the club, where a fight to a finish takes place between the Hon. Charlie Chin and Ben Burley, alias Big Ben the Bruiser. In addi- tion to an exceptionally large and powerful calst, renowned masters of the fistic art have been engaged at great expen'se, and will give an exhibition at every performance. Throughout the story is strong and sen- sational. The handsome principal boy from Drury Lane, Queenie Leighton, is another star turn, and will present her new soena. "Conversations." The Aurora troupe of daring and skilful acrobatic trick cyclists will give their plucky display. Four of them upon their machines support a track upon which another performs some startling evolu- tions. The Eight Lancashire Lads, singers and clog-dancers, are also featured on the bill, which is still further strengthened by the inclusion of Cissy Thompson, comedienne, Johnnie Walker, comedian.; Cecilia Maude, vocal comedienne: and 'Henry Bedford, with a budget" of new songs; and the pictures.
I ROLLER SKATING IN CARDIFF
I ROLLER SKATING IN CARDIFF Boiler skating in Cardiff still continues a eon-roe of great attraction to the public, and the different rinks in the city have been crowded nightly.

PAGEANT FINANCES [
PAGEANT FINANCES [ HOW THE DEFICIT WAS-CAUSED In view of the meeting of g-u-atajitors of the Welsh National Pageant called for next Monday, tho hon. treasurer (Mir. John All- cock) has issued to each guarantor a state- nent of accounts containing a complete record of income and expenditure. The balance-sheet works out as follows i s. d. Expenditure 16,058 11 9 Income 13,904 3 9 Net loss £ 2,154 8 0 Net loss .C, 8 0 This represents a loss equal to 8s. in the I £ on the amount guaranteed, viz., f5,386, and in a covering letter the treasurer asks the guarantors to &end him a remittance to the amount of their guarantees. The detailed receipts as given belOW show that Xll,022 was reoeived from the sale of tickets on the field, and 46895 from the sale of tickets by the railway companies- It is evident from the figures that the attendance at the various performances of the Pageant must have been greatly over-estimated. The sales of tickets account for only 196,7581 spec- tatoTs throughout the period. Most of these evidently belonged to Cardiff, and the sup- port which the Pageant received from out- side was very disappointing. I The following are the principal heads of expenditure. £ S. d.

As some statements have been made if public about the luncheon to the Lord Mayor, it may be explained here that the total cost of the luncheon was L93 Os. lid., and of the hire of carriages zE16 3s. From this, j however, must be deducted £13 15s. 9d. fo: the sale of 43 tickets at 6s. 6d., and £ 32 14s. 10d., the proportion paid by the Lord Mayor of Cardiff for his guests, 66 in number, and for the moiety of the wine hill. From 1 he cost of the press supper, S41 5s. 10d., must be deducted £ 13 8s. 3d. for the sale of tickets to others who attended The Pageant made a handsome profit out of the Book of Words a.nd Children's Book of Words. The cost of these is set down -t ?9. and the revenue from sales and adver- tisements amounted to £ 786 156. lid.—a profit of over £ 3C0. DEFICIENCY ACCOUNT.
