(Continued). I "That finishes up the whole business," Dr. Jones muttered to himself. His hands trembled a little as he held the newspaper, and the lines seemed to deepen on his thin, sallow face. The Hypatia had carried down with, her £ 300,000 in gold—part of which, at any rate, might have come in-to his pockets. Emrys Morgan was dead. God had pro- nounced a, swift and terrible judgment on the man who had played at death. David Jones wondered whether perhaps there were mot some punishment in store for himself as well. So far, everything had gone smoothly and well. The claim had been sent illl to the insurance company, and they had raised no objections, for they knew that at the nfost Morgan could only have lived another two or three years. Yet, perhaps, some danger lurked in the darkness of the future. The! doctor knew that he had sinned-not as Mor- gan had sinned-for the love of an old and feeble mother threatened with disgrace-but for the sum- of £ 1,000. He was no better than a sordid thief. "God does not forget," he thought, as he read the terrible details of the shipwreck, told by the sole survivor, and cabled home from the Azores. "God waits His time." David Jones was not a religious man, in the strict sense of the word, for his religion did not exert any good influence on his life. But he had been brought up as a child to believe in a God of vengeance, rather than a God of love, and his early training had left its mark upon his mind. And, as a doctor, be knew that, at any rate, in the physical world the wages of sin is death. His faoe whitened and his lips were pressed together tightly, as he read the harrowing account of the disaster. The ship-a. sound and good vessel—had been caught in a storm, mch a storm as she had weathered a dozen times in the course of her career. But this time there had been a Jonah on board. In the darkness of the night, forging full steam ahead, she had struck a derelict, that had ripped off her steel plates as though they had been paper. In two minutes it was all over, and half an hour later, when the dawn broke, and Arthur Rollins WW3 picked up by a homeward-bound vessel, the grey sea was searched in vain for another living soul. A terrible story indeed, and doubly terrible to one who believed in a God of vengeance. "Still I have the £ 1,000," he said to himself, "or, rather, I shall have about 1950. I will buy a practice in Cardiff. I will work hard. I will rise in my profession—do, perhaps, some good in the world—justify the theft- make atonement for my sin." His thoughts were checked by the entrance of his sister. She came in very quietly and seated herself on a plain wooden chair by the Are, smoothing down her apron with her than, ugly hands. "I've been in the town, David," she said after a pause. "Indeed?" he queried sharply, "and what took you into the town so early, Mary?" I had to pay a bill to Lawyer Griththe-- 'tihe one he wrote about, th-reatening the law." "Well, I hope you gave him a piece of your mind, and have gone to anotfjer butcher, a man who can wait for his money, as I have to wain for mine." "I said I didn't hold with, tracto ways of dealing with honest folk." "Good; and what did he s&7 to thatr, "He said, David—oh, oh" and placing er apron to her eyes, she burst into tears. "Abused you, eh?" the doctor queried. "Well, I'll get even with the brute one of these days. Whart. did he say?*' "Oh, that I should have lived to hear ÏJt-" the woman faltered, and then srie burst out into tears again. "Stop that smivellang," exclaimed the doctor angrily. "Tell me what he saad, amd I'll go to Law with him if it waa a word more than he ought to have said." "He said that honest folk were few and far between in Tretaol, and that we-we shall see in a few days whether you were Honest or no." The shadow of fear earns into David Jones's eyes, and he half rose from his chair. Than he controlled himself and gmdled. "Had you a witness to those he asked, "for. by heaven, if Toi hav«——" and be brought down his clenched fist in the patm of the other hand, as though he were exter- minating some insect like Lawyer Griffiths. "It was about poor Mr. Morgan's will," the woman continued, and then she ge,ve a cry of horror as she looked at her brother's face, and would have fled from the room, if be had not sprung from his seat and caught her savagely by the wrist. "The will?" he cried fiercely. "What's the matter with the will? Lawyer Griffiths drew it up himself, and it was witnessed in his office." .,Yes-Yes, sobbed the vpamaa, "don't grip my wrist so tightly, David. You're hurting me." He let go of her and looked at her sternly. He had made a fool of himself, and he knew it. "What's wrong with the will?" be asked tgooeAig. "What does tthe old tool mmm?" "Mrs. Morgan 16 goring- to dispute it-on the ground of undue influence. They say a, thousand pounds was a deal to give a I stranger when there was so little to leave." Dr. Jones gave a sigh of relief. He had had feared something worse than that. Yet, even as it was. the news was sufficiently un- pleasant." "I'll go and see the man at once," he said, "and find out what he is talking about." "Mind, I'm speaking for your own good," said Mr. Griffiths, wagging his fa.t forefinger at the doctor. "I'm not the man to see trouble where there isn't any. You take my advice and give up the money. It'll come cheaper in the long run." David Jones glanced at the lawyer's large, red, cleanshaven face, and his gaze was quickly averted from the scrutiny of the small grey eyes. He knew from the man's tone that something worse was coming, if he did not slink out of his apparently -.afe legal posi- tion. "This—this is monstrous," he stammered; "you drew op the will yourself. It is valid, properly signed and witnessed. You were there yourself." "lee," said Mr. Griffiths quietly, "but I was not there when Emrys Morgan died." What do you mean ?" shouted the dootor. You infernal scoundrel, what do you mean ?" And he shock his fiet in the lawyer's face. He was white with fury and seemed to have lost all control of himself. I don't wish to insinuate anything," Mr. Griffiths answered slowly, "but I will tell you that unless you give up this money to Mrs. Morgan, she is going to apply to the Home Secretory for a.n order to eaJuime the body. At least, I believe that is her intention What she expects to discover I do not know." David Jones's hands dropped to his side, and he tried in vain to conceal the terror written on his face. If the grave were opened—no, it was too I horrible even to think of such a. thing. Yet I if he gave in he would admit that there was something to be concealed. What did Mre. Morgan know? What had prat this idea into her head ? She could not suspect that f he grave did not contain the body of her son. She snsfpccted that there had been foul play; that Emrys Morgan bad been murdered for the money he had left in his will. The idea was ridiculous, but it constituted a real and terrible danger. "This is absurd," he said after a pause. "I am not to be intimidated by such vile threats. I shall bring an act-ion for criminal libel a", nst anyone who even speaks of such a thing." "That is as you please. Dr. Jones. You can have twenty-four hours to think the matter over. Remember that the charge againet you is only one of undue influence." "You shall pay for this," said the doctor hoa.rsely; "by Heaven, you shall pay for this." Then he flung himself out of the room, and returned to his mean eottage on the slope of the hill, with hell raging in his heart. The next morning he intimated to the lawyer that he was willing to come to terms, in order to avoid the expenses of a lawsuit. He would take £ 500. "Fifty:" said Mr. Griffiths. For a quarter of an hour they fouglnfc and haggled, and the miserable little doctor emerged from the contest with theptomise of a hundred pounds. Of this amount he had lent fifty pounds to Emrys Morgan. Of a truth, the way of the transgressor is hard! Yet the fifty pounds would take him out of England, and that very night he began to make preparations to leave the little town. For his sister he had no thought at all. She had devoted the last seven years of her drab and dreary life to him—had worked for him like a..SlaTe. But he had no thought for her in his hour of danger. He must leave Eng- land at once. Long after midnight he eat before the fire in the room of the cottage, fIace to face with ruin.. He now realised what he had done, how he had admitted that some secret lay hidden in the grave of Emrys Morgan. No further proceedings were to be taken. The grave was not to be opened. But in the eyes of Griffiths, at amy rate. he was a. guilty man. Ugh! how be halted the fat, Complacent lawyer. Nothing would h?e pleased him be-tter than to have i =t h :a by his thick, soft throat and ohoked the life out of him. Such blood-suckers were not fit to live. He lit his pipe and glared at the dying embers of the fire. What did life hoW for him-a penniless doctor with a shadow on his good name. If he went abroad what would it mean—the work of a labourer, the scheming and fighting of a man who was forced to exist by his wits. He was unfit for manual toil. Of a trwth, the future was very dark indeed. "It's net wwth it," he m-wttered. "I'd like tc put an end to it aII-to die fighting—to strike a blow at the man who tempted me- a.t those Eimryg Morgan Icwed—at those for whom Emrys Morgan sinned." An hour paosed, and the red glow had died from the fire, leading oreiy a heap of grey asheo. The room was beginning to get cold, a.nd David Jones efaivared. There was a ghastly eapreeion on his face, as he cat there in the Etlenoe--A was almost Mke the face of a man who bad died with horror in his eyes. Ootssde the cottage the wind •moaned fit- fully, and as the doctor listened to it he fancied he heard the roar of a temjpeet, the crash of a ship, and the residing of steel plates. Then there were the cries of drown- ing men, and after that only the sotmd of tite storm. When another half hour bad elapsed he rose to his feet, lighted. a candle, and, passing through the kitchen, went to a room at the back of the cottage, a room that had once, been an outhouse, but was now a surgery. He looked along the line of bottles on the shelves, selected one. and carried it back to the sitting-room. He set the bottle down on the tahie, and stared at it for a few moments with a smile on his white lips. Then he seated himself at a smaller table in the corner, and wrote a. letter. It was not very long, but tibe writing of it occupied more than an hour. Wilen be had toiefced be read st conwrmt-x. i placed it in an envelope, and addressed it to his. He placed the letter on the mantelpiece, and then sealed himself at the table, and cta.red at the bottle he had brought from the surgery. For nearly an hour he did not move. Then he reocihed out his hand with a. sudden impulsive movement, opened the bottle, placed it to has lips, and, throwing his head back drained down half the con- tents, and re-fploced the bottle on the table. Then the door o^sened, and Mary, his sister, stood on the tturesthodd. (TO BE CONTINUED TO-MORROW.)

Shrimp Paste iiet the fish be quite freshly boiled, shell them quickly, and just before they are put into the mortar chop them a little. Pound them perfectly with a small quantity of fresh butter, ma-oe, and cayenne. The large brown shrimps aie best, as they are more easily shelled than the red ones. v Fruit Dumplings. Get some large cooking apples. Pare them thinly and remove the core without cutting. Make some light suet crust, allowing ilb. of finely chopped suet to 12oz. of flour, and mix it with milk. Roll out rather thinly on a floured paste-board ajid cut into rounds large enough to cover each apple. Now place an apple on the paste and fill the hollow in the centre with mincemeat. Damp the edge oi the crust and pinch firmly round the apple just as you would an ordinary dumpling. Bake in a fairly hot o?en .4? ?tc, 40 minutes.

Rub the sugar over the lemon until it has absorbed all the yellow part of the akin; then put the sugar into a punchbowl, add the lemon juice (free from pips), and mix these two ingredients well together. Pour over them the boiling water, stir well together, add the rum, brandy, and nutmeg; mix thor- oughly, and the punch will be ready to serve.

HALF NUDE MAN IN STREET I
HALF NUDE MAN IN STREET I Quite a sensation was caused in the West- end last might by the sight of a. half-nude man striding up St. Martin's-lane. This extraordinary incident occurred a.ba.ut eight o'clock, when people were proceeding to the numerous theatres and music-halls in the vicinity. He wa filrst detected at the bottom of St. Martin's-lane with no trousers on, and wearing only a short jacket and boots. The man-a tall, well-built man with long bair- marched briskly towards the Duke of York's Theatre, with "part of his wardrobe over his arm. Where be came from nobody noticed, but he WM followed from the direction of Trafalgar-square by a group of lads who were highly atnueed at the eccentric spectacle, particularly as the night was bitterly cold. A police-constable rushed forward to lead the man to a cide turning, but he resisted, and there was a struggle between the police- man and the bare-legged st-range-r opposite the Coliseum. Other police arrived, and the Tnan was eventually oonducted down one OIl the little side turnings. Here an overcoat was wrapped around him, and he was then taken to Vine-street Police-station. Later in the evening communications were made with his friends.

The constituencies con- cerned were represented at the oasaolution by:- U,nioniat 1 êE¿, 1 I La;bour 1 Nationalists 2 The Earl of Kerry, who was returned for Derbyshire (West) at a bye-e!eotion in April. 19C8, without being put to the trouble of a fight. has this time opposition from Mr. Edwa.rd Hinmers (Liberal). Dorset (East), held by the liberals four years ago by the narrow majority of 19 votes, is now being contested by two fresh candidates, Captain the Hon. F. E. Guest (Liberal) and Colonel J. S. Nicholson (U n i o The Liberals in 1906 won East Grinstead from the Unionists by 262 votes, so that the contest in the Sussex Division will be watched with interest. The Guildford Division of Surrey, where Viscount Ifidleton (then Mr. St. John Brodriok) was defeated last time after repre- senting the Surrey constituency for many years, promi&es another good fight. There was threatened at one time a three- cornered contest in Ross and Cromarty—Mr. Galloway Weir's o-ld -e2Lt-but ex-Provost Anderson (Liberal and Land Reform) has withdrawn. leaving a straight fight between Mr. Weir and Mr. Neil Maclean (Unionist;. Two of the three Lanarkshire divisions set down for to-day are triple fights, viz., the Mid and North-east, Labour running repre- sentrvt-ives aga-inst the Liberal and Unionist nominees. There w.re also triangular contests four years ago, but the Liberal in each instance was returned by a comfortable majority. Mr. William O'Brien, who was so recently as January 28 elected at the top of the po-. as an Independent Nationalist for Cork City, is engaged in a second fight in North-east Cork, where he is opposing the old Nationalist repxesentative, Mr. William Abraham.

Vile (to W. Morgan) and Clem. Lewis, Bridgend (to Bush). Forwards, E. Jenkins (Newport), Rees Thomas (Pontypool), and W. Morgan (Treorky). Touoh-judge, Mr. J. Jarrett. Forward's Comments After the revelation of Wales's weaknesses at Twickenham changes weie inevitable, and the Welsh Union selectors a-re to Le con- gratulated upon having bad the courage to take risks The Welsh bac-ks who played against England failed sadiy to sustain a reputation which Has been dearly won against heavy odds, and their deposition will meet with public approval. In saying this one does not even suggest ingratitude for past services,^ but there is a limit to every footballer's career, and the time must oome when Anno Domini commends him to make his exit. Owen and Jones have had a long and an honourable innings, and they will be remember eel as long as Rugby, foot- ball its played in Wales. But their play this season has proved beyond all doubt that they are not what they were at their best. The natural result is that they have had to give v'a.y to yo,ung-er and better players in Percy Bush and Willie Morgan. Some uneines" will be fe1.t as to the defensive capabilities of Bush against such a strongly aggressive side as Scotland, but one fact which has to be borne in mind is that Bush has never yet played on a losing side in an international match, and that he has ideas of his own which ore quite unorthodox as to what defence really means. To the ordinatry sipectator it seems an heroic act when a player falls on the ba.U in front of an impetuous bunch of' forwards, but it does not strike him the same way when a man ie smart enough to pick up the ball and kick it into touch. Bush has played against Eng- land, Ireland, and New Zealand, and in each match distinguished himself, but this will be his first game ag-ainst Scotland. Willie Morgan, who will partner him, has served sound apprenticeship in club football, and on his present form ought to do so well as to sustain the reputation created by his brother, Teddy Morgan-the finest wing that ever played football. It was not expected that any changes would be made in front, with the possible exception that E. Jenkins, of Newport, might have been substituted for Jarman, but the Welsh pack played so admirably at Twicken- ham that their re-selection was amply justi- fied. In the three-quarter line Willie Ttrew and Reggie Gibbe were practically certain of their places, but J. P. Jones and Phil Hopkins were bound to give way to better men. It was difficult to find those better men, but, in my opinion, the selectors have made no mistake in their Choice of W. Sipifler and Melville Baker. The latter, in my opinion, is fully entitled to hie place in the Welsh team, whilst Spiller on his form in recent matches for Cardiff has proved himself a worthy successor to Gwyn Nioholls. There is, unfortunately, » doubt as to whether Spiller will be quite fit to take his place in the team, and unless he is in the very bet3:t of form he will be ill-advised in turning out. Scotland's Unknown Strength It is impossible to make any dependable estimate of Scotland's strength this season, for the reason that their only test, which was no tcet at all, was their match with France last Saturday. Still, one is justified by past experience and knowledge of the proba-ble Scottish fifteen as individuals in predicting that they will put up such a strong game at Cardiff next Saturday week as to carry them home to victory for the first time in Walers since 1892. Of course, the changes made in the Welsh team from that which played at Twickenham may pos- sibly and probably prove that Wales has not yet struck a lean time in her football history, and it is the hope of every patriotic Welshman that the men who ha,ve been chosen will save their country from the humiliation of being beaten twice in one season, with the additional danger of going down before Ireland, and thus annoxing that most unenviable of trophies-the wooden spoon. Cardiff's Weakened Team on Saturday In consequence 01 the expected inclusion of several additional Cardiff players in the Welsh team to meet Scotland, the Cardiff Clab will place a weakened side in the field at Portsmouth on Saturday against the United Services. Percy Bush and W. L. Morgan have borth decided to stand down, and possibly W. Spiller, R. A. Gibbs. and J. Pugisiey will a-leo resolve to do so, while J. L. Williams, by reason of his injury at Moseley, is not likely to play for some weeks. Oulverwell and Potter will play at half-back on Saturday, and T. Reardon a.nd D. E. G. Davies at tbree- cftMnter.
SPOILT PLEASUREi
SPOILT PLEASURE A North-country man lost his wife, and her friends arranged a grand funeral, for "Mary Jane was nobbut like to be put by proper." Carriages were ordered, and the widower was told that his place would be m the first mourning ooaoch along witftl his m<>tber-in-law. "The ah willn't ride wi' her," be objected, 'Oh, but you most; it's the rasraal thing," was the reply, in a persoa give tone. "Nay, ah'll not, how'er." "po.t think what a scandal and talk among the neighbours it will make if you don't." The sorrowing man had no desire to be a by- word araoiig his acquaintances, so at last he reluctantly said, "Well. if ah man, ah mun; but, mind you, if ah ride wi' her, aU my day's pleasure will be clea.n spoilt."

I " Took to His Heels"
I Took to His Heels" STORY OF CHASE AFTER A FICKLE LOVER "If I were to read all these letters," begam counsel opening a breach of promise case yesterday in Mr. Justice OhannelTs court, "rwe should be here for two days." Poiruting to an immense bundle of corre- eroondenoe that lay before him, he con- tinued "It is impossible to conceive any- thing warmer than the terms in which these letters are written. They are of appalling length, and most enthusiastic a.nd gushing." The writer, a Mr. David Williamson, who is employed as clerk in a traimcar depot in the Old Kent-road, did not appear to defend the suit. "He is not as bold as the Davrid Who went out to defy Goliath," declared counsel. "He is always running away." In the course of what he went on to say counsel told some strange "running away" stories. When Mr. Willaaaneon first met Mass Mood Florence Coldham, who is the daughter of a licensed victualler at Brightlingsea, he rapidly fell a. viotim to her charms. He proposed marriage one after nooTi when they were waJki'ng together in the recreation ground at Oatford. She accepted him, and then the gushing correspondence ran its course. Counsel quoted speeime,ns-from the 'beginning amd end of the series My own darling Bimbi,—I will take a nice little business out in a nice country place, and my Bamhi and I will manage it together. My own darling Birmlba,—I do vrtsh I could give you the attention that you ought to have. I have often reproved myself for speaking to you before things were settled. I was so fond of you, and, manlike, Edfih, and could not bea,r that my Maud should belong to anybody else. How are you keeping, my own Birmtoi ? Do you love me as well as ever? You won't leave me, will you, darling? Now, my pet, I don't know that I have more to say. I wiLl close, my angel, with dearest love amd kisses, from your own true, loving, and devoted DAVID. P.«S.—Btirmfci, I have a Ice, to make mp before I can caM evens, but I will do it yet. Fondest love and God bless my own darling Jaissde. Miiss Ooldiham dully replied in affectionate terms to thds second letter quoted, but to her surprise her own letter came back to her, marked "Address not known." She, there- fore, set about to discover the wherea/bouts of her "true and devoted David." The quest was for a time fruitless, bat one day she caane upon born suddenly when she was walking near New Cross Gate. Directly he caught sig)hrt of her he took to his heels, and, mounting a trajmcar. made his escape. Weeks went by, and once again his deserted sweetheart saw the faithless David. It was in Oatford Recreation Gromid, where they had plighted their troth. He got up from t.he seat on which She had espied him resting, and once again, endeavoured to va.ui'ph. Lut this time a friend who was with her tracked him down. The jury awarded Miss Coldham L25 dunnages.

LIVING NEAR TO NATURE, HIS DIGESTION IS PERFECT. Dr. Livingstone and, later, Henry Stanley, 'I L. .1. both ot wnom spent muca time in ruc CA- ploration of Africa, in their memoirs mention the fact that members of all the tribes that they came in contact with possessed beautiful white, pearly, sound teeth, and that on in- vestigation they found that this was due to the fact that the digestive organs of the negro had never been impaired, and that they were able at all times to take care of the coarse foods that were taken into the stomach. The negroes' food is of the plainest kind, and is seldom, if ever, cooked. It is eaten as it is found, with but little preparation. The cause of unsound and imperfect teeth 1 found among civilised people is due to two important facts-the prevalence of indigestion and stomach troubles and the food we eat. In the foods that we eat there is a lack of phosphates and other materials necessary to make repairs and supply the waste in the teeth. Then, again, few people in civilised countries are free from indigestion, which interferes with the whole system and causes trouble everywhere. To have sound teeth, cure your indigestion and eat proper foods, and you will have little trouble with them. A package of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets should be kept in the house at all times. They cure sour stomach, indigestion, and put the stomach and intestines in a healthy condition. There are many bodily ills due entirely to stomach troubles. If you are ill, ask yourself if your trouble may not be caused by indigestion. This may be the cause of the whole diffi- culty, and to cure it means to have perfect health. You can get Staart's Dyspepsia Tablets at any chemist's, 1/ Ii, 219 and 4/6 per package, or send your name and address for free trial package to F. A. Stuart Co., 86 Clerkenwell Road, London, E.C.
