.I "THE TEMPLE OF LIES."
"THE TEMPLE OF LIES." By J. B. HA RIS-BURLAND. Aothar of "Gabriel Janthry," "The Broken Law/' "The Guardian of His Honour," "The-Splendid Felon," &c.} &c. BEGIN THE STORY HERE. I Chaprter I. places the scene in a lone I cottage on the summit of. a snow-clad Cardiganshire mountain, where Emrys r Morgan, a consumptive, is being visited by Dr. David Jones. Recognosing that he has only three years to live, Morgan persuades the doctor to proclahn his death, in order that his mother, who is in dire poverty, might secure the £10.000 for which he was insured. Chapter II. finds the mother waiting for rews from the snow-clad mountains, and then comes a great surprise. A solicitor from London calls with the news that I Emrys, as the next of kin, has been left £ 500,000 by a relative. Directly after a telegraph boy hands a message to Gladys I Morgan, the daughter, which conveys the! tiding from Dr. Jones that Emrys had died. I The girl conceals this from both her mother and the solicitor. I r CHAPTER II, (Continued). I "My dear Gwladye!" cried old Mrs. Morgan' I In amazement, "What do you mean? Of j "O'ujTse, Owen Hug-hes will not touch a penny I iioney is not everyi-hi ng." no said, ouierly. of" the money. What are you talking about? Are you mad?" "Yes. yes," the girl answered, and then she laughed hysterically. My dear child," said the old woman anxiously, "this news has been too much for you. You must sit down and rest." "R43,st? Rest?" the girl cried with a white face and flashing eyes. "How do you think I Then she checked herself. This was madness indeed-to give way like this. She must be quite calm, for a terrible scene lay before her-a scene in which she would need all her strength. Her mother must be told f that Emrys was dead-that he had died on f: Thursday. Tuesday and Thursday were not unlike, and mistakes are often made in tele- grams. Possibly, there was still a chance of saving the great inheritance. The doctor upoke of having been snowed up in the hills -oh, -no, it was hopeless, it was quite impos- wible. How marry people had been already told-ail Trethol would know by now. Still, øh41 must be calm, and do all that lay in her power. Mrs. Morgan laid her wrinkled hand on her daughter's arm, and looked up at the hite face. "My darling child." she said tenderly, "you are in some trouble-some great trouble. I frhew it all the time that man wae here. I raw that you were upset, that the great good fortune which God has sent us could not bring more than a pretenoe of joy to yea. What is it, dear Gwladys?" The old woman's gentle voice touched a! heart which had grown hard and worldly 'under the cruel blows of circumstance, and tiwladys Morgan burst into tears. It was as well that nature gave this relief to her thoughts. Tears were more fitted for the breaking of the terrible news than the terror and hard. fierce resentment which had hitherto oocupied her mind. She flung herself into a chair by the table, and, burying her face in her arms, sobbed passionately. Her mother, frightened by„this terrible outburst of grief, stood owgr her, with one hand resting on the girl's shoulder. A few whispered words fell on deaf ea.rs. Then the old woman turned away, and sank back in her armchair by the fire. The da,ughter's sorrow seemed to have drained all the vitality out of the mother's, frail body. For a while there was silence, only broken by the sobbing of the girl. Then Gwladys Morgan rose suddenly to her feet, moved unsteadily forward, and flung herself on her knees by her mother's side. I "Mother, dear," she cried, catching hold J of one of the thin white hands, "there is bad I ttewg of Emr-y. I eould not tell you while that man was here. I did not tell you the truth. A telegram came from Trethol—Emrys is ill, very, very ill—I must go to him to- night." j "Emrys ill?" Mrs. Morgan repeated I mechanically. "Fiurys is always ill—do you mean that-he is dying?" Gwladys did not answer. She bowed her head. and her fingers tightened on her mother's hand. She let her silence speak for her. "Emrys is dead," the old woman said in t e weary voice of one whose emotions have bfegh blunted by years of suffering. "God's will bo done. God's will be done." The girl was still silent. She had nothing to say—nothing that would be of any use. Emrys was dead. Her mother understood that he was dead, because there was no den/si of her words. "God willed that he should die when he was young," Mrs. Morgan continued, as though speaking to herself; "it would have been cruel if he had lived too long after the sen- tence of death was passed on him. God has been merciful to him-and to us." •Ahe covered her face with her wrinkled hands, and her withered lips moved in prayer. The blow had fallen harmlessly on her grey head. She had known that her only son was doomed to an early death. She was grateful that his agany had not been pro- longed "I must go to Trethol to-night," the girl whispered after a long silenoe. "I will get ec-meone to come here and stay with you. Perhaps Audrey would come." "Audrey?" the old woman said quietly. "Yes, I shofnld like Audrey to oome. My dear ton loved her, and she would have married him and been with him to the last if he would have allowed it. God grant that he was not left to die alone." "No, no. the doctor wati with him," Gwladya taid hurriedly. "Poor Emrys dded an Thurs- day-to-day is Saturday—the doctor was snowed up in the cottage, 90 be must have been wit^i him at the time of his death. I must go to Trethol to-night." "Yes," the old woman replied, "and Audrey will ootme and stay with me." I Gwladys was relieved to find that her mother had bar tie the terrible blow with such fortitude. She did not realise that whrv*. eeemed to be qui-et courage was only tbe numbness of pain. There had been ne'ther cry, nor tear, nor moan. "God's, will be dmo," appeared to be the burden of the old woman's thoughts. There was even gratitude that her sou had been spared a long struggle for life. "1 will go to Aodrcp oonr" aaad the girl a, fter a few moment's silence. "But I ought not to leave you alone. "I am not afraid, dear," Mrs. Morgan answered gently. "I would rather be alone for a little whik-much rather be alone." The girl moved towards the door. Then, as though she had forgotten something, she came back and kissed her mother on the forehead. "Giv>e me my Bible, der. said Mrs. Mor- gan, in the same even, gentle voice. "I will read it till you retu 1." The girl brought a large morocco bound volume and aet it on her mother's knees. Then she found the old woman' s spectacles, v. iped tlfcem carefullj, and laid them on the book. "Is thero anything else, mother?' she asked. "Nothing, dear, thank you." "You axe sure you will be all right till I return. I don't like leaving you." "I would T-ather be alone, dear-alone with God." The. girl left the room, and, hastening upstairs, put on her shabby hat and coat. The few brief minutes of tenderness and tears were over. Her lips wore pressed tightly together, as she made her way down into the haJl. and there was a look of hard deter- mination in her eyes. "I must g-et to Trethol to-night," she mut- tered as she opened the hall d.-or, "but if I cannot, the doctor must come to Cardiff. There is- juft the chanoe that. i may not be too late." She passed out into the night, firm of PUT- pose, and with ra-ge burning in her heart. She was thinking of Owen Hughes, thetman Who had scorned her love, the man who was to rob t" of three hundred tlio-u. aud pounds. CHAPTER III. "Ycu know that I cannot marry you, Owen. You know that I cannot ma.rry anyone. | Please never speak to me of this a Tain." "But..Audrey, dear, the young man pleaded. "We are such old friends; we-- "We shall be friends no longer,' the girl said fiercely, "if you speak to me of this again. You must go now, Owen. My father may be back at any moment. He will not be pleased to find you here." The man bit his lip and frowned. He was a tall, square-shouldered young fellow, clean- shaven, with criip brown hair and grey eyes, that sometimes seemed like the laughing eyes of a carelesa boy, and then swiftly changed to the calm, steady eyes of a man who is fight- ing the world with grim determination, and means to eorne out on top if hard work can win the battle. A fine figure of a man was Owen Hughes-an athlete every inch of him, with muscK-M cf iron, and in s,pite.of his great strength, as active as a cat; the hero of a crowd, when he played wing three-quarter for Cardiff or for Wales; the still greater har-, of thousands 'of starving women and children, when he sold his small property during the great ooal strike, and gave every penny of the proceeds to buy them bread. A fine, great, splendid figure of a man was Owen Hughes! And yet, as he stood before this frail alio of a girl—this slender child with the white fa<oe, and the deep blue eyes, and the corn coloured hair, there was little of the hero abcut. him. He seemed abashed, almost frightened at the vehemence of her words. Your father was an old friend of my father's," he said, after a pause. I am poor now—a working man—and Morris Anwyl 's rich. Yet at one time, I believe, there was r, othing that would have pleased yen- father better than to give his daughter to me for a wife." The girl tapped her foot impatiently. Her ?yes glanced at the young man, clad in clothes that were no better than the Sunday best of a workman, and then she i'coked round the splendid drawing-room, with its old rose car- pet, its velvet curtains, its gilt furniture, its white panelled walls, its cabinets of old Sevres, its Armoires and bureaux of gilded bronze and tulip wood and mahogany. Nothing was further from her thoughts than to compare her present wealth with the povefty of Owen Hughes' wife. But the young man flushed and his nails bit deep into the palms of his hands. Money is not everything," he said, bit- terly. and then the girl flushed crimson, too. Money is nothing," she answered in a low voice, but love is everything. I would gladly share the poverty of the man I love; I would have shared it, if he would have allowed me to do so. But Emrys Morgan is a. ma.n with a great soul, and though She paused and pressed her hand to her eyes, as if to shut out some terrible vision from her sight. And to Owen Hughes, who saw the shadow Peja across her face, it seamed as though an icy blast had swept through the room, as though every window and door were open, and the snow were drifting in across the scene of wealth and luxury. He shivered, for he knew that Emrys Morgan wan a dying man. I am sorry, Audrey," he said, gently, after a pause. 1--1 did not know. I thought that you no longer cared for-Emrys Mor- gan. I did not know that he "I am sure you did not," she broke in quiokly; "if you had known, you oould not have spoken to me of your love. He is dying. and because—becauae of that, he would not let me majrry him, though I would have done so. He would not let me marry him, Owen, though most men would have snatched a few months of happineso before thev died-at any cost-yes. at any cost." "He is a hero," Hughes muttered, a. true man of honour." "Yes, Owen, and I will be true to him. I think of myself as his wife. So long an he lives, 1 will be as true to him, ae if I were his wife. And when he is dead-when he is dead, I will mourn for him as if he had been my husband. Ploaw leave me, Owen I have bared my very soul to you—because I wish you to know—because you ought to know." The young man squared his shoulders, and looked at her with sorrow in his eyes. He Was thinking, not of himself, but of her—of her youth that would be wasted in a vain regret, of her beauty that would fade on the long and lonely path hbe h??d marked out for herself. Life might have been so diffe- Nnt for her, if &he had not loved EmTys Morgan, and now-oh, the pity of it, the ter. rible pit- £ of it all! For a few moments there wae silenoe. Then the door opened, and Audrey's father entered the room. (TO BE CONTINUED TO-MORROW.)
I For Women Folk.
I For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINly DISHES To stop the squeaking of new boots, knock in a row of brads about half an inch apart down centre from toe to instep, and the •annoyance will cease. Combs should not be washed with water. This is apt to split the teeth. A stiff nail- brush is a good thing to keep for cleaning them. After using the brush, take a damp cloth and wipe between each tooth with this. To Warm up Christmas Pudding Cut the remains of pudding into fingetr pieces, soaking, a little brandy and lay in cross-bars till a mould is filled. Make a cus- tard with four eggs to ever.: pint of milk, and flavour with nutmeg or leonon-rind; fill up the mould with it. tie it down with a cloth. and boil or steam it for an hour. Serve with a little of the custard poured over, to which has been added a tableepoonful of brandy. I Uses for Old Curtains They make excellent face cloths, as they oontain jus.), enough roughness for a refresh- ing ""h. and in addition do not smell ran- cid as t.he ordinary flannel. Hung over the water jug or elsewhere they dry in no time. I Thei: are much nicer than a sponge for the bath. They make splendid dish-cloths and good polishers for windows and linoleum. l.as-tlv, they clean wallpaper better than anything when they are clean and contain a little starch. Fig Cake Cream a cupful of butter and two eupfuls of brown uga. Mix thoroughly, and add four beaten eggs, a teaspoonful of ground cloves, a cupful of water, and three cupfuls of flour sifted with two toa°.poonfuls af baking powder. Cut £ lb. of figs and two cupfuls of raisins in small pieces, dredge -t clip?,ii ?f q<)ur. them with a. quarter of a cupful of flour, and add to the mixture. Pour into a well- Vtuttored pan, and bake in a. moderate oven for two hours. Little J~ies of Turkey, COCK-P, &,c. I f Melt some aspic jelly and mix it with about half its quanti:y of tavo:y jelly, made from loit-w boiled down. Tako any remains of turkey, goose, &c., cut into tiny dice, and arrange iu p-ain darial moulds, with a few maoed >ines of vegetable. Orly thrco parts fill the moulds, then pour the jelly into them up to the top. When cold they will turn out. and should be served with a garnish of pars- ley or sliced tomatoes. If aspic jelly is not liked, any kind oi savery jelly may take its place, but the colour will not be quite so good. To Stew a Duck Tako a duck. pick, draw, and st.uff it with forcemeat, adding thrco sage leaves chopped fine. Clean and wash the giblets, and put in sufficient water to Cover them. Make from them ;1, gravy for the duck, add two onions mopped very fine. a.nd a seasoning of pepper and salt. Let the gravy simmer until it is strong enough, then put the duck into a stewpan, pour the gravy and onions over it, and stew it slowly for about two hours, adding a glass of port wine just before it is donc, Dish it up. and squeeze the juice of a lemon over it. Pour the. gravy round and serve with fried bread.
FOUR MEALS A DAYI
FOUR MEALS A DAY Young children require food more fre- quently than adults. Up to fourteen or fifteen boys and girls should have at least four meals a day—breakfast, a mid-day meal. dne about five o'clock, and something before retiring. The secret of health consists sub- stantially in arranging the diet with pitt- dence. Children's meals should be moderate in quantity, but all sufficient in nutrition. Especially should the food be palatable, easily digested and abundant in nutriment. A diet of nourishing fruit and farinaceous food is the correct diet, and Currants are not only the most economical and whole- some of fruits, but they contain in correct proportions all the nutriment essential to the human body. Let the family tfave food containing èur. rants at some meal every day. Currant Rice Puddings, Currant Dumplings, Currant Batter Puddings, Currant Bread. There is an endless variety shown in the little Currant Cookery Book entitled "Home Recipes for Cooking," a copy of which your grocer will gladly hand you free. el699
i Passing Pieasantries.I
Passing Pieasantries. I "Are checks fa&hionable now?" asked a highly-dressed young man of his tailor, as 1 he looked over some cloth. "r don't belie\e they are, sir," was the reply, for I haven't seen any about/lately." He looked- so hard at the young man when he said it that it caused an absence in the shop very rapidly. An editor, who does not mind a joke at his own expense, says he went into a chemist's shop recently and asked for some morphine. The assistant objected to giving it without a prescription, "Why," asked the editor, "do I look like a man who would kill himself?" "I don't know," said the assistant; "if I looked like you I should be tempted." "I know he isn't handsome, Caroline," urg? the mother; "btit be is a worthy man, and I wish you could look upon his suit with a little more favour, for your father's sake and mine. Joshua Thornbuckle once saved your father from bankruptcy, and a friend in need is a friend indeed. "Yes. mamma." answered Miss Caroline, lis-tle-mly. "But he isn't in-kneed—he's bow- legged." A collier and his wife were angrily airing their view upon the pavement, when an old gentieman came up. "Look here, my geed man," said the peace- maker, "this sort of business won't do." Wot hev you ter do wi' it?" said the collier. "I'm here to settle your dispute, that is all," replied the old gent. "Dispute!" growled the collier; "there ain't no dispute." No dispute?" exclaimed the old gent; "hut, my good man "I tell you there ain't no dispute," insisted the collier, "my wife thinks I'm going to buy a-s much 'b:LCy as I did afore the price went up. an' that she'll hev' to go j short, an' I know she's about right. Where's th' dispute in tha't?" POETS. Poets—even spring poets-are more apt to be modest than self-assertive. But at least one believes in himself. He dropped into a publisher's office with some verses in his pocket. The publisher, who was also the editor of the magazine, had gone out. The young poet sat down and waited. Pre- sently his eye fell upon a memorandum-book lying there, spread out like a morning news- paper, and almost in spite of himself he read: "Don't forget to see the binder. "Don't forget to post E. his contract. "Don't forget H.'s proofs." An inspiration seized upon the youth; he took a pencil, and at the tail of this long list of "don't forgets" he wrote: "Don't forget to accept A.'s poem." He left his manuscript on the table and departed. That afternoon, when the publisher glanced over his memoranda, he was not a little astonished at the last item; but his sense of humour was so strong that he accepted the poem, although it required a strong sense of h-umour to do that, and sent the lad a cheque for it.

CARDIFF EMPIRE 1
CARDIFF EMPIRE 1 Most popular of all the turns at Cardiff Empire this week is Fred Kamo's produc- tion, Perkins, M.P. which shows with delightful extravagance and much humour the funny episodes of the electoral contests now in full swing up and down the country. Fred Kitcihen as the Labour Candidate" and pet of the suffragettes, was the life and soul of the piece in his procedure as a candi- date, and subsequently as full-fledged mem- ber of Parliament. Other items contribute to a most liberal programme. which at both houses on Mon- day night was thoroughly appreciated. Bellclair Brothers, American gymnasts, per- formed unusual feats of strength and dexterity, and they did it all with a grace and e-aee that puts them well to the front. Both are well knit and muscular, and the way in which one lifted the other as a featherweight pointed to. unrivalled clever- ness and unusual powers of endurance. The Three Delaries also shone in the gymnastic line with weird and novel effects. Daras evinced marked versatility as an imper- sonator of famous composers, the way in which he wielded the baton re-ca.Iling not only the appearance of each conductor, but every one at his maonerianw.
I Real _" Merry Widow "
Real Merry Widow RICH SAINT WANTED AS HUSBAND Newspapers are often asked to do queer things for their readers, but the limit in cool effrontery WIib reached the other diay when a widow wrote to a New York journal asking for a husband—and a gcod, one, too. 6he wrote:- My husband died last spring, leaving me a Large amount of heavily-mortgaged property. All has been swept away, and I am now maintained by the generosity of one of my friends and his wife, who, because I have a beautiful girl baby a ye-ar and a hali old, have felt that 1 shonid remain with her. The resources that they have drawn upon for my benefit are about exhausted, and I find myself with barely a roof over my head and no money. I have ability and the education to make my own living, but I a.m alone in New York, and dread putting my child in a home while I earn my bread. I feel, therefore, that my ba.by and I should have a man to take care of us, a gentleman who will appreciate a good; woman that is a lady in every sense, iind; can prove it.

I desire no man beauty, drunkard, or man with worn-out emotions, but a decent busi- ness man, not under 40,- one whom my friends will welcome a<s a gentleman. I can do almost anything, from making a mince pie to painting a picture, and I can discuss almost anything learnedly from housekeeping to the fine arts. till, I can sit and listen satisfactorily, and, in fact, I am trained to be pleasing. Can you do anything for me? I cannot hold out much longer as I am, so if you can, through your paper, do anything to assist me, please do. "The man who gets me will have to be measured with a silver yardstick," she told a reporter who wer.t to interview her. "I desire no communication whatever with persons of the low forehead variety. I am of proud .Southern extraction, my father having been a judge in Alabama. "I am an unusual woman," she continued. "I can play the piano. I can sing a song, I can cook a dinner, and I can iron a man's shirt. I am too proud to seek alms, and too ddicateiy nurtured to work, despite the dinner and the man's shirt. Servants obey me instinctively, and men of affairs seek 4iy advice in serious matters. "Go, tell your irillionaires that I am at home Wednesdays between four and six, and that I will consent to talk business to all such as arrive in their own touring cars. That is all. I am no adventuress, but I nei-i a million. You may go." And the reporter went.
POSTAL SORTER ON REMANDI

ICentenarian "Baker"
I Centenarian "Baker" LADY WHO MAKES BREAD & BUTTER A 100th birthday celebration, remarkable in many respecte, was celebrated in a little cot- tage at Heighington, three miles from Lin- coln, yesterday. Mrs. Ann Speed ie a real centenarian. She still enjoys her life and keeps housd for a son, who is 76 years old. She continues her domestic duties, even to the baking of her own bread, and her faculties arc ail good. Mrs. Speed, in fact, is quite amazingly active, and la.st summer she was a familiar figure at the Lincoln market, where she car- ried her heavy butter basket, and she hopes to take her wares there a-gain as soon as the weather improves. The centenarian yesterday received many friends and still more messages, amongst them a telegram of congratulation from the King. Mrs. Speed has a fairly lively recollection, including- Waterloo, but she says. that she doô not hothc-r her head -ith what hap- pened a hundred years ago. &he has a cheery disposition, and hor ambition is to do her -t-* <)n is to do her work in the present. Strangely, she does not come of a long- lived stock, her mother having died of con- sumption at the age of 31. She has been a widow 46 years, and b-a-s a family of twelve, seven of whom are still living. She is the grandmother of 40 and the great-grandmother of 50 children. In appearance Mrs S-peed is a handsome old woman, strong and vigorous. In an interview she declared that she was I very proud and very happy, but what she liked best was to do her work, and she was not quite her?e:f until she had made the "Morning Leader" representative a cup of tea.
ALLEGED BANK FORGERSI
ALLEGED BANK FORGERS I It is said that in tlie quiet little seaside town of Broadstairs bank-note forgers have been busily at work. The statement was made by counsel yesterday in outlining the case at Bow-street against Joseph Peter (27), a Hungarian, and Kalman Etriene Albrecht (36), a Frenchman, who are charged with being in the possession of photographs of glass plates for producing Av.stro»IIungarian hundred kronen and fifty kronen bank-notes. The men (said counsel) took rooms in Blooms- bury in September. They were not on good terms for a few days, and Peter went to the Consulate to give information about Albrecht. Peter seemed to have thought he would be able to make his own position secure, but was referred to Scotland Yard, where he made some statements. Peter had been engaged on work with reference to perpetual motion, and was recently tempted by Albrecht to embark on the forgery of foreign notes. There would be evidence, added counsel, that at Broadstairs the men were busily engaged in using photographic appli- cations for the forgery of Austro-Hunganian notes, and at Bloomsbury a large quantity of appliances was found. They were remanded.
NEW THEATRE, CARDIFF___I
NEW THEATRE, CARDIFF I Both as a gorgeous spectacle and as the seat of illimitable fun, the pantomime at the New Theatre, Cardiff, continues to attract crowded houses. In the title role, "Dick Whittington," Miss Isabelle Dillon continues what is a veritable march of triumph, and nothing is received better than her pretty duet with little Miss Lulu Williams, the clever nine-year-old child-dancer, whose song, "The Alpine Girl," is received with enthusiasm by all sections. Miss Gladys Guy is still the most cluwming "Alice," and the cat (Mr. Johnny Fuller) is par excellence "Idle Jack" (Mr. Mark Lester) in his best scene (Alderman Fitzwarren's shop) is splen- didly assisted by Miss Blanche Astley "Tommy Trot"), whose capital acting has won her hosts of friends. Mr. Arthur Godfrey ("Captain Scupper"). Mr. Arthur Leslie ("Bill Oakum"), Mr. Tom Evans ("Alderman Fitzwarren"), and others in a strong cast add very appreciably to the gaiety of the whole production.
I" I AM HEARTBROKEN "I
I AM HEARTBROKEN "I A pathetic note of a deserted wife was read in the Divorce Court yesterday. Mrs. M. E. Cheston, of Tongham Manor, Surrey, wrote to her husband, Geoffrey Lionel Cheston:- My dear Geoff,-I am heartbroken, and oan't live without your love and protection. So please, dear Geoff, come back. I am absolutely miserable without you. The children are constantly asking for you.— Your ever-loving wife. Mr. Cheston replied that he could not come back. He wished fof his wife's happiness a-s much as his own, and would like to hear about the children. He was ordered by the court to return home. ====«==■

ICAPTURE OF A VALUABLE FORWARD…
CAPTURE OF A VALUABLE FORWARD I This week Merthyr Town will have the ser- vices of S. G. Parmnt, who has been trans- ferred from Bath City. Among the other oluhs F-ar-mnt has played for are Coventry City and Bristol Rovers. He is a good inside forward, and playing for Bath on Saturday ag-ainst Plaulton Rovers he scored three 'out of five goads for his side. In the last eight matches for Bath he has scored ten goals, and the club regret having to part with "Sammy," the sobriquet under which he is favourably known. Farrant is also an able cricketer, being good in bowling particularly, but he also ca.n bat very well. His transfer has only been obtained after much negotia- tion. He is a brother to A. E. Farrant, the ■well-kno-wn English referee.
FOOTBALL -SENSATION____I
FOOTBALL SENSATION Merthyr N.U. Club Involved I It is understood that the sequel to the rowdyism at Merthyr Northern Unicn ground a week ago will probably be more serious than was txpected. The matter i., to be investigated by the League committee, and it is stated that the referee's report includc? specific charges a,ga,inst prominent officials Cot" the Merthyr club. The Dew6bury club have also made a serious charge, and the whole affair is likely to provide the most sensa- tional investigation of recent years. Roman Joins Northern Union I Walter Roman, the Bridgwater forward, who was expected to be in the English team against Wales, has joined the Rochdale Hornets (Northern Union) Club..But for the fact that he was known to be negotiating with a professional club, it is stated that Roman would certainly have been chosen by the English Union against Wales. To Beat Scotland I To the Editor of the "Evening Express." Sir, -The team I think will defeat Scotland at Cardiff, on February 5, is as follows:- Back, J. Bancroft (Swansea); three-quarter backs, right wing, M. Baker (Newport), left wing, R. Gibbs (Oarrdiff), right centre, W. Trew (wamse.a). and left centre, P.

A Motor Driver IfUl •' /? -??. ???? ■ ,< # ?? J0 0 ? # "L—j~Z jr———-—ir   ??  '?? ??  '???'' ????-. ? ? Nervousness, Fatigue, Physical Languor- In two days alone, every failure was redeemed, and Motorman Woodard owes it directly to Flicsrerine that he secured employment, and now pos- sesses abundance of earning power. No less than three times Mr. Wood- ard fa4ed absolutely to pass the Scotland Yard tests for motor driving, on account of nervousness, and lack of confidence, and finally he gave up in despair, thinking all his time and efforts wasted. Happily for his future, Phosferine came under his notice, and from the first dose onwards, his system thrilled with new vitality, and, in two days, so much was he master of himself, he passed all tests with perfect ease. Mr. Woodward feels that his very occupation, the power to do the work when he got it, was only made possible by the energising properties of Phosferine, and his appreciation tallies with those from thousands of workers whom Phosferine saves daily from nervous collapse and physical languor. Banished Utterly. Mr. W. E. G. Woodard, 16, Canterbury Road, Brixton, writes:—" I suffered from extreme nervousness, and in my occupation, that of a Motor Driver, I found this etiectually retarded my making headway. Although well known to be a skilful driver, I utterly failed three times at the Scotland Yard examination for Motor Car Driving, I completely lost all self confidence, my knees shook with nervousness, and I trembled so excessively that my failure was most abject and complete. Naturally, I was greatly disappointed, and it seemed as though my career had come to an abrupt close. Fortunately, hearing of the good Phosferine had done, I decided to see effect in my case, and after taking it regularly for two days it worked a marvellous change, restored my nerve and made me feel so fully able to do myself justice that, by special permission, I presented myself again for examination, and passed with perfect ease. I found Phosferine also most valuabie in removing that tired, languid, irritable leeling, which hot weather produces, leaving me bright and able to cope with any emergency. I feel most elated and thankful for the wonderful effect of Phosferine,"—J uiy o. 1909. PHOSFERINE N N 5 H ???F ?j? s & tMf- N ? g B B ?B Nz?

STOLL'S PANOPTICON I
STOLL'S PANOPTICON I Most novel bioscopic attractions are to be seen at Cardiff Panopticon this .week, and the interest, to say nothing of the fun, was kept up from start to finish. It opened with "The Lovesick Corporal," a series that every Territorial will enjoy quite as much as the ordinary civilian. Next came an instructive idea of seashore fishing: in many aspects, the operations being: conducted with wonderfully good luck for the camera. "Jacob's Idea" is a healthy sort of joke. Taking advantage of a tiff between man and wife, and their resolve to leave home for a long period. Jacob, the servant, lets apart- ments on his own. The husband slyly slinks back home in penitence, and to his amaze- ment discovers a strange man hugging a female form wfiich he takes to be that of his wife. Just as his pistol is about to go off the truth is revealed, and Jacob cong to grife. Those who have read Dumas' "Count of Monte Christo" will realise the extraordinary ins-enuity of the set under that name. It is a thrilling story. "The Improved Inkstand" is something that is hardly suitable where a inischicvous office- boy is near, but it is used to side-splitting advantage. "A Family Outing at Lunar Pa.rk" provides more ra.,re entertainment. and the star bioscopic tableau, entitled "The Truth Will Out." is among many other fine pictures, whilst Marcella, the masked elocutionist, Mr. Fred Dyer, and Mr. James Hope have new numbers.
