Pies mioutes later they parted on the path laadiag from the office, a hundred yards from I, where it joined the road, and tbe two great ?Mtpa of the motor threw out wide fans of I .H<M into the darkness. She had tried to iinnimitVf him to return with her ia, the car. Iaat. km had insisted on going back by train. Abr-h* pezu he was so in*ox»oat*d with joy j tefrhfrBn-it' that he would have gladly walked the whole ten iniloci if it had been necessary. "When shall I see you again?" he asked. "Where can I see yieru?" "I cannot tell you yet, dear," she replied. "I will write to you. But remember what I have said to you. I cannot tell my father yet." "We oould be married at once," he pleaded, "and then he would forgive us afterwards." No. dear, no; that B impossible." When?" he asked. "Never, if we wait for W-heii h;a asked. his consent." You must make friends with bim. Owen," she said after a. pause. I-I will try and do all I can to make peace between you. My J father is very fond of me; he has been very good to me all my life; I have influence over him. Owen Hughes frowned, and was glad thart; the darkness hid his face. The battle was only half won, after all. "Very well. dear," 'ae answered after a, rrause. ""We will talk over that later. I don't I want anything to spoil the glorions happdnees of to-night. I always want to look back upon tttM day as a red letter day in my life. Good-night, dear sweetheart. I He folded her in his arms, and as he kissed her face he discovered that she was crying. j "My darling" "ae said, tenderly, "?o long as we love each otber, nothing ebe matters- nothing-in all the world. Everything will come right." "Good-night, my dear lover," she faltered. Then Phe freed herself gently from his embrace, and hurried towards the lights in the road. He stood there motionless, and did not move till the hum of the motor had died away in the distance. Then he set out on hi6 walk I down the hill to the station. "Everything will come right," he said to himself. 1. told Morris Anwyl that I would make him change his mind, and if God gives me strength, I will." I CHAPTER XV. You went to see Owen Hughes yesterday evening. You needn't deny it. I know." The words, snapped out after Iuarter of an hour of breakfast commonplaces, struok Audrey's ea.rs like a clap of thunder. She looked up from her plate with a -white, scared face. I know.' her father continued. "I needn't tell you who told me Why did you go ?" If she had answered quite truthfully she would have said that she loved Owen Hughes, and wished to save him from des- truction. As it was, however, she temporised. "I thought I could do some good," she I replied. "I hoped I could have some influ- ence on him, and persuade him to abandon this scheme of his." "That wae very kind of you, Morris Anwyl said drily, "but we can manage very well without your asKist.tnoe. These matters are beet left alone by women, and particularly by a young girl. who ought to he thinking more of her reputation than her possible influence over a headstrong young fool." Audrey coloured, but was silent, looking hard at her plate, though it. contained nothing more interest ins; than the hones of a fried sole. I s'jppose, then. you know the result of Hughes' appeal to his men," Mr. Anwyl con- tinued after a, pause. Tpe, father," she replied, "only three of them have left him." She did not know that she was blurting out a secret that was not to be made public for a few hours. Morris Anwyl smiled. Fo I har- heard," he said, though all his efforts to find out the exact result had not brought him within measurable distance of th-i truth. Then he wiped his mouth with his napkin, and rose to his feet. "Is he still in lo^e with you?" he asked. a'r>rrnytlv, wher. he had lit a < igar. I sup- p.w not. His head's full of great causes, and fighting, aid all that sort of stuff. He hasn't, room in it for any love affairs." Audrey m.tde no answer. Her father had replied to his own question. She rose from the chair, and oomiig to his side. la;d her iwud upon his shoulder. I wish you'd make friends with Owen, father." she said geutly. He has done you no harm. No harm, Audrey—no harm. What are iyott talking about? He's done every colliery owner in this place harm, and we intend to make short work of him. If we don't he'll ruin us in a few years time. At present the men are with us. but when they begin to understand that there is a bare possibility of for6rg as to do as Owen Hughes h<M done. the whole social order of things, the whole relations of employer to workman, I will have to go into the melting pot. And what will come out of it ? Anarchy! Ruin!" "Still if Owen would give way-a, littlei—if I' he would meet you half way?" "There's no half way about it. You don't, understand. If }¡e'n give way altogether, 111 I, hold out my band to him, and make him welcome for his father's sake- then, turn- ing on her abruptly, "what's he been saying to you. eh?" The girl flueixed, and her father's shrewd eyes read her secret. For a. brief moment his face was convulsed with rage. Then he quickly checked himself. This was an affair that might be turned to his own advantage. It was not rea-lly such a dreadful catas- trophe, after all. The door opened; a. footman entered, said that tlte motor was waiting, and retired again. The interruption was brief, but long enoagb for Morris Anwyl to gain complete mastery over his temper. He even managed to smile. 80 that is it. eh?" he said pleasantly. "Well., I'd be glad to hear it. if Owen Hughes would come to his senses, and fall into line with the rest of no. He's got plenty of money, if he oould learn to uee it properl. So that is why you want me to make friends with him, eh?" Yee," she whispered. I—oh, I love him, father. I did cot mean to teM you. I-I did not know it myself till last night. I was a friend of has-atw-ayg. I went op there to try and make peace between you—to persuade him to give up this method of working his mine." "Very ffood, Audrwy," her father said CÙIIIb". If you can xatake peaoe between ae. I will rsise no objection to YtJIW marriage with Owen Hughes." The girl looked a.t him as tbough sbe-oautd < hardly beldeve her senses. Then she flnog her traw round has neck and kissed him. "Oh. father!" she cried. "It seeme too good to be true. You will meet him bnif-way; you will try and persuade the others w meet turn half-way. I did not say that, Amdrey," be answered coldly, and he disengaged her arms from his neck. "You went to pee Owen Hughes last night to try and persuade him to give up this ridiculous idea of sharing his profits with the men- When you have persuaded him I will give my consent to the marriage. I ma t go now, or I shall be late for an appointment." He left the room, and Audrey went to the window and locked out across the lawn, un- certain whether to rejoice at the possibility of a reconciliation between her father and Owen Hughes, or to cry at the hopelessness of the taok that was put before her. Everything had been shifted on to her own shoulders. It was she who would have to persuade Owen Hughes to abandon his life work; it wasHhe who would have to give him the choice, who would have to tempt him to be false to his ideals in order to win her 34 his ife. It was either Jhat or a marriage in opposition to her father's wishes—a marriage ¡ that all her training and nature revolted against. I Then the door opened, and a, servant entered the room. Audrey suppoeed that the man had come to clear away the brea.kfa.st things and did not even turn her head. "A woman wishes to see you, miss," he said. advancing a few steps into the room. "Who is it?" she queried, Betraying no interest in the announcement. In these days many women called to see her. asking for help or charity. "Mary Jones her name is, miss."

Mrs. Ixwiisa R-abeoca Josling, a young wotinan, who summoned her husband, said he struck her merely because she insisted on raking oM the fire. "But you must not take away your hus- band's right to a fire," said Mr. Plowden. "k is not your RTe; it is his. Did you strike him back?" "I dad," the wife replied, "in self-defence." "Ah!" Mr. Plowden exclaimed. "You must not complain if he loses his temper when yo uprovoke him like this." "But," the wife persisted, "be lost his tem- per for nothing." "I do not agree," Mr. Plowden remarked. "I think be had every excuse. The poor man is reduced to a cipher oo your principles. You like to have your own way." i "No," said the wife, "but he does." "Of course he does," Mr. Plowden stated. "He would not be a man if he did not." "HIS WIFE'S FAULT." The husband explained that the matter was all his wife's fault. I prepatred a supper for her," he said,! and after supper a. dispute arose. I jumped j into bed, got under the clothes, and tried to go to sleep, but- she remained up, and eaidj she would please herself as to when she went to bed. 'Now,' she sneered, 'you think you are going to have a fire all night, don't you?' and so saying she raked every cinder! out of the fireplace. b'11e also pelted me with wet linen, but I warded it off with the bedclothes. lVjaBn I attempted to ma.ke the fire up again she demanded to know how I dared to defy her, and raked the wood and coal out as fast as I pile it on. She threatened to knock my brains out with the poker, a,a.(i a struggle followed, but I did not strike h," "All I can say," Mr. Plowden observed, "is, Happy, happy, I-ppy pair! You will be bound over to keep the peace. I do not sup- pose for a moment that you will keep it, but if you strike her again you will probably be sent to prison. "As to you," he added, turning to the wife, "YOU have behaved rn a most provoking way. You must learn to submit to your husband in proper matters.

NEWPORT EMPIRE I
NEWPORT EMPIRE I Chung Ling Soo. the great illusionist and ) conjurer, fresh from his Australian triumphs, will present his astonishing entertainment a.t Newport. The story of how Soo came to adopt his business is an extraordinary one. Whilst he was a medical student in Canton he was attracted by a conjurer at a street corner, and not being satisfied, like his com- panions, that the performer depended upon occult agencies, followed him. with the result that the conjurer kidnapped him, and for some years afterwards used him for exploit- j ing some of his most telling tricks. The boy j was badly treated, poorly fed, and beaten, so when he arrived at the mature age of fifteen years he ran away, reached Australia, went into the magic business, travelled to the Western States of America, a.nd, finally, found" his way over to England. Miss Olive Lenton, a clever Australian artiste, will present her beautiful vocal scena. entitled "Harvest Time," and Xina, Wood will sing pleasing songs at the piano. Other attractions include Mnsicel Silvo, Tom fituart, and the Brothers Werds. )
I Mania for Medicine
Mania for Medicine 'CURED" BY BREAD PILLS & WATE R Though man cannot live by medicine alone, there are numberless maladies imagimaries who a.re quite notable to support life with- out constant resource to physic they do not need. I Mr. Joseph S. Barber, who is retiring from his post of chief dispenser at the Royal Free Hospital, ljondon, has made reference to this craze for medicine itu a statement whichoon>- taios the assertionIt is surprising how m-any people have got well by faith in the virtue of a, little coloured water, which, if they only knew it. is all that the mediciiKJ contains." Mr. Barber is by no ineaus alone ic this experience of faith cures, for a Press repre- tentative learnt from a well-known West-end j doctor yesterday that in every walk of life— and nearly always tihe "sufferers are women—this craving for medicine is common. Every doctor," ho said, iclows such oases. No amount of argument will convince such pa.t.ient.s that they are perfectly well, aJid it would be folly to give them anything but the very weakest kind of physic. Some- thing with the least flavour of quinine, and very little else, often effects a cure, although the medicine is not strong enough to affect tlhem. Faith in the stuff effects the crave. 'The bread pill has worked wonders in I its time. I remember the case of an actress who was once my patient-a great, strong wouia-ti, who ailed nothing, but lie wits convinced she had a serious form of insomnia, although I diagnosed heavy suppers after the play. Still I decided to humour her, and presented her with a supply of sleeping pills with minute instruc- tions as to their use. I insisted on the greatest care. First she was to take one, a.nd if that did not make her sleep, she must double the dose next nig'ht and report to me. She declared after trial that one pill wa3 not strong enough, and that two made her sloop twelve hours round. I advised her to use one and a half whenever she found sleep would no" woo her. She obeyed instructions, aii-d oame back later full of gratitude to me for having saved her from all sorts of m-ortal horrors. "The pills which had such miraculous effect were just white bread coated with sugar. In hospital a.nd dispensary cases a good deal of faith-curing, is practised by the aid of rose-tinted water. Peppermint and water, wi-t-h a. little colouring added, is a favourite, air,d it must be put up in tremendous bottles. The poor folk of East London and other un prosperous neighbourhoods OOIIlld 'never be cured of anything by medicine ad ministered in drops. Give them a quart bottle with a suggestion of mystery as to its contents, and they are soon much better— or imagine themselves to be, which amounts to the same thing."
" DRU N K" ON POISONS_____
DRU N K" ON POISONS Fifteen gipsies have been fatally poisoned with drugs at Bolje, in Transylvania, under curious circumstances. A large number of gipsies visited Bolje on Wednesday, and as they had no money the local publicans refused to give them drink. The gipsies pitched their caimp near the town, and during the night a number of them broke into a chemist's ehop and carried off a large quantity of medicines in the hope of finding alcohol among them. On Thursday a messen- ger from the camp appeared in Bolje sum- moning physicians. Several doctors went to the camp, and found all the gipsio-, seriously ill. Fifteen of them were in a hopeless con- dition, and many others will be in hospital for several weeks. They had druitk a.ll the liquids stolen from the chemist's shop which smelt sweet or spiritous. The chemist is pre- paring to sue the surviving gipsies for damages.

PAY OF SHIPS' OFFICERS. The Imperial Merchant Service Guild has addressed to shipowners throughout the United Kingdom an appeal for the improve- ment of the lot of captains and officers. "We recognise," the guild states, "that in times of depression it is not advisable to press unduly the need for bijjier remuneration of ca-ptaine and officers, which most certainly is merited. But trade is bound to improve sooner or later, and when it does we troet that this point will not escape attention." Other questions dealt with in the appeal are those of adequate accommodation, leave, and the "two-watch" system.

Mr. Russell gave many interesting remi- niscences of the late Liberal leader. Glad- stone's stoiaisni and determination were re- markable, even when one of his fingers waa injured in a shooting accident, and when b'xloroform and the use of anaesthetics were unknown. Gladstone was told that his finger would have to come off, and bis simple reply was: Well, if it must go, it must go." His vitality at all periods of life was extraordi- nary. He walked up Snowdon wflen he was over 88. and tapping his chest, remarked: "The doctors can find nothing wrong hem- the front is sound." (Laughter.)
" THE FLAG LIEUTENANT."!
THE FLAG LIEUTENANT." One of the most striking features of The Flag Lieutenant," which is to be presented at the New Theatre, Cardiff, next week, is its curiously modern tone, a tone which callc forth all the naturalness that is beginning at last to be characteristic of the present- day actor. It is a play that is absolutely up-to-date in every particular. And no one is more thoroughly modern and up-to-date a.nd in the picture than Dicky Lascelles, the Flag Lieutenant himself, admirably played by Mr. Edward Kent, who, whilst he is in no way a slavish imitation of Mr. Cyril Maude, who originated the part a.t The Playhone. London, if, nevertheless, the rollicking, caW less, chivalrous sailor to the life. And right well does Miss Dorothy Ripley, as Lady Her- mione Wynne, play up to him. These two excellent artistes persuade the audience of tihe reality of their being. One loses sight of the stage the moment Dicky appears on the ship's deck, and one is at sea. with Britain's ironclads and her much-loved Bluejackets. For one whole evening one is living in the Mediterranean and under the most delig'htful circumstances, for the Mediterranean i6, as it were, incorporated with the history and the existence of the British Navy; and in this charming play one obtains a glimpse into, and an ide-a of, British naval life which will oome as a revelation to the ordinary stay-at-home Britisher.

Preferred a Novelette
Preferred a Novelette GRAVE GRAMMAR SCHOOL 0FPEHCE A schoolboy who. while supposed to be studying "The OM Curiosity Shop" with the rest of his chuaa at the Bed-lord Grammar School, preferred a penny novelette wivi the seductive title of "Robin Hood; Sweet Liberty, r Death," brought a.bout a state of things which led to a curious case at the Bedford Assizes yesterday. His mother, a, widow, sued the Bedford Harpur Trust and Mr. J. E. King, headmaster of the school, for damages for expelling the boy. Before the boy—a delicate hild-was ad- mitted to t'ae sohool. the headmaster, it was stated, for 'le plaintiff, was told that he was not to be submitted to corporal punishment except in the event of a serious offence such as stealing. When questioned by the master, the boy prevalidated, and when taken before the headmaster, who said 1e was to be caned, the boy refused to be thns punished, and went home. For the defence it was urged that the boy told a lie, and was, therefore, deserving of punishment, and the headmaster refused to take him baok to school until 'ae had sub- mitted to the punishment. The Lord Chief justice, in givin.g judgment, raid the mother had taken an exaggerated view of her rights. If she had Eent the boy to the oolool on the agreement that he should not be flogged, he should have found for her. but she had failed to establish that condition. He found that the boy had com- mitted a grave offence, and gave judgment for the defendant with costs.
Halley's Comet I Halley' Comet
Halley's Comet I Halley' Comet I HOW TO WEIGH THE VISITOR. In the current number of "Nature" Mr. P. H. Cowell, of the Greenwich Observatory, gives the ecliptic co-ordinates of Halley's comet for two periods of 52 days, before and a.fter its perihelion passage. Mr. Cowell remarks: When the comet passes the plane of the ecliptic, 28 days after perihelion passage (April 20), that is, on Ma.y 18, it will be almost exactly between the earth and the sun, and the earth will probably be in the tail of the comet. The closest approach (of the nucleus) to the earth takes place a da.y or two later. It appears, therefore, that the date of [perihelion passage at this return of the comet is moat fortunately timed, and a fine display may be expected. The comet's history has been traced back to 240 B.C., and it has very seldom returned to perihelion (at internals of a.bout Va years) unrecorded; so seldom, in fact, as to suggest that in the exceptional cases the records have perished, rather than that the comet, in any circumstances, can pass by unseen. A tail of 20deg. or 30deg. in length is expected on the preeent occasion. It will be best seen at the end of May. but in England it will, unfortunately, be lower in the sky than in more southern latitudes. There will, however, be no difficulty in seeing it, unless there is a prolonged spell of bad weather. The approach to the earth is so close that an American astronomer has conceived the idea of weighing the comet by the devia- tion it produces in the orbit of the earth. We can hardly believe that the effect produced will be one-tliousandth part cf the least measurable quantity."

Beat whites of eggs and ?u?ar to a fromi, a?d essence to taste, Hpi<? and cur- rants, fill patty pans, and bake for twenty minutes. To entire currants, sultanas, Ac., being properly cooked in quick cakes, Ac., always make a. practice of first pouring very hot water through a colander containing the fruit until aU dirt is removed, and then dry by placing on a plarte in a warm oven. This has the advantage of not only thoroughly cleansing the fruit, but ma.kes it larger and more juioy, and the hot water partly cooks it. Onion Pickle Peel some English onions, cut into thick slices, and cover with water to which a little is jidded.Jlow this to stand for about twelve hours. PaUl" off the liquid and put the onions into a. sa-uoepaja. Add two or three lumps of sugar, a pinch of cayenne pepper, and vinegar to half the depth of the oaions. Let this just simmer for about twenty minutes, then pour the whole into a jar, and it is ready for use as soon as cold.

Cover down with a paste, snd tie down very tightly with a. cloth. Boil for two hours. This pudding must be made the previous day, and set upon the stove when wanted for dinner. A little gravy ma.y be poured in just before lidding the pudding.

Mix together one teaspoonful of carbonate of soda with one teaspoonful of cream of tartar, pour over them one pint or more of sonr milk, which will then bubble up over the sides of the basin, bpat in two eggs, and moisten the cake with the whole. If more liquid is required add more milk. The cake should be rather moist, as it ta-kes a long time to- cook. Bake in a good moderate oven for three hours. It will turn out a rich dark brown cake, looking and tasting quite as I good as one to which eight eggs or lib. of j butter were added.
STOLL'S PANOPTICON I
STOLL'S PANOPTICON I The management of this tov-nrite place of entertainment are presenting an exceedingly attractive series of bioscope films next week, t.he outstanding feat-ure of which will be. The Poacher's Revenge." a remarkable dramatic produetio-n in twelve tableaux. A number of views of the Brighton express disaster will be shown, and another film of surprising interest is that illustrative of a tour in the Molucca Isles, ivie realism of which is enhanced by the rat-ami tints. A Seaside Flirtation," narrating the troubles of poor Mr. Hothead, is a bright comedy w,hich oa-nnot fa.il to keep the audience in a st-ate of merriment, and other films of an equally humorous character include "The Cure of Cowardice," a play by Max Linder. Her Sister's Sin is a well-iandled story, per- fectly acted, and elaborately staged. The Ruse that Failed is a capital dog film, and i8 more original than the generality of I "doggie" subjects. The musical portion of the programme will be provided by Mr. Fred Dyer, the Cardiff baritone, who loses none of his popularity; Mr. James Hope, another vocalist of considerable merit. and Mr. R. T. Chinn, the clever concertinist, with whom Cardiff audiences will be pleased to renew their acquaintance.
I ESCAPE FROM DEATH.
I ESCAPE FROM DEATH. A miraculous escape from deatfc was reported yesterday at Meadow Colliery, Adderley Green, Longton. A young man named Phillip Shenton pushed a coal truck, as he thought, into the cage, which he «x pec ted to be waiting in the elbaft, but, as a matter of. fact, the cage had not descended to the intake. The truck fell down the pit slmft. aDd Shenton was dragged after it. failing a distance of 249ft. into the water "sump" at the boteto-m. To the amazement, of those who witnessed the accident, a voice was presently heard from the "sump" calling for help. Mr. Knight, the under-manager, took prompt measures, twud Shenton was rescued, his only injury being a slight out on the head and shock.

AT THE CARDIFF RINKS 1
AT THE CARDIFF RINKS 1 Roller-skating Is at the height of its popu- larity in Cardiff. as evidenced by the large attendances daily at the various local rinks. A favourite rendezvous of devotees.-of this seasonable pastime is the Olympia It k, in Queen-street, whioli has had a remarkably successful run. Mr. A." Tetlow, who is assisted in the management by Mr. W. O'Keefe, announces that the attractions of this rink will be increased shortly by the provision of an up-to-date cafe. The hall is now effectively deoorated, and the tempera- ture is kept even by means of radiators on the. one hand and adequate ventilation on the ot.her. The floor is in excellent condi- tion, and skating is rendered more interest- ing by the strains of the military band. Messrs. Crawford and Wilkins' American Rink, in Wesrtgate-street, which is so admirably managed by Mr. Alex Telford and his assistant (Mr. A. Nortoni, has all the equipment of an up-to-date skating pavilion. The broad expanse of the skating surface and its excellent condition are primarily responsible for the popularity of this rink. Good music is discoursed by the military band, and the well-managed cafe is an agree- able feature. The Samuel Winslow skates are used. At the. successful carnival held on Wednesday evening the lady prize-winner was Miss Vera Davies, of Langland, Swansea, and not Miss Davies, of Llandaff, as reported. The Central Skating Rink on the Hayes, which is under very capable management, continues to be largely patronised, and the arrangements for the comfort and con- venience of the patrons give general satisfac- tion. From time to time improvements are effected to the skating surface, so that the rink is thoroughly serviceable. Obliging ana capable instructors are at hand to i-endet assistance to those who are in the pre- liminary stages, and there is a capital band.

IStory of a Double Life ♦
IStory of a Double Life ♦ I LONDON HATTER'S SUICIDE Concerning the tragic dezlth of Mr. George Hoatiii, the managing director of Messrs. Henry Heath (Limited), the well-known West End hatters, who was found mortally injured in his office on Wednesday (briefly reported yesterday), a sad story was told oil Friday at the inquest on the body at the Westminster Coroner's court. Walter George Mulford, of the Woodlands, Wealdstone, Harrow, a director of Meærs. Henry Heaith (Limited), hatters, of Oxford- | street, giving evidence of identification, said that the deceased was forty-seven years old, and lived at 6, Holland Park-avenue. Witness usexl to see him every day. His health seemed quite deranged. He would stand a4nd look, without moving, for a long time. The Coroner: Do you know of any trouble j he was in ?-Yes, personal financial business, not connected with his firm. Do you know whether they were of a very proving character? Anything of late for the worse?—Yes, sir. I am sorry to say he kept two homes. Was there any pending litigation on account of it?—I have heard since that his wife was slightly cognisant of liomething. How long has this entanglement been goj;ig on?—I could not say. When did you last see him before this occurred?—About two or three minutes before. I had him under obsrevation all day. Was there anything peculiar?—Yes, very. Did he speak ?—In the morning he did when I went home with him to his house to luncheon. Going back in a taxi-cab he sat and never moved. I spoke to him, and tried to cheer him up. Continuing, witness said that shortly after five o'clock he was on his way to the deceased's room, in the business premises m Oxford-street, when he was told that a shot had been heard and that the door was locked He heard the deceased groaning inside, and the (ioor was forced. Inside he found the deceased lying on the floor on his back. He said to witness, "Come on, old boy, lift me up. I am all right." He retained conscious- ness to the end, and died at five minutes past ten the same evening. The Coroner: You think that owing to the life he has been living he got upset?—He was upset through money matters. Even supposing it had come to the worst and there had been a petition in bankruptcy, he would still have his personal earnings from the firm?- I imagine so. He had his interest in shares. There was nothing like absolute ruin and starvation facing him?—I fear that, sir. The end must have come the way he was going. He was spending too much. Deceased and his wife were on terms of pure affection Dr. Arthur Cooper, of Great Portland- street, said that he was called in to see deceased, who was lying on the floor and who said, Let me get up." Witness found two bullet wounds in the deceased's chest, just above the heart. The bullets had passed right through the body and struck agafnst the woodwork of a mantelpiece behind. Nothing could be done for the deceased. The Coroner in summing up said that it seemed to be a olea.r case of suicide. They were not concerned with motives, except so far as they might indicate what the man's mind really was at the time. It appeared from the evidence that there was a great deal to upset him. He had been leading an irregular life, and was in serious financial embarrassment, which was quite personal to himself and not at all connected with the firm. The jury returned a verdict of Suicide during temporary insanity."

Miss Nellie Clyde, who has been specially engaged for the part of Xan," the flower-girl, has played many famous parts, but confesses that up to the present her two favourite impersonations have been Alice Faulkner" with Charles Frohman's pi-imcinal Sherlock Holmes" Company, and Suzanne de TouTnai" in I "The Scarlet Pimpernel."

M I Billiards -4 I By JOHN ROBERTS. PROBI,EMS.-No. 18. There is not much to be said, in favour of the "leave" which comprises our eighteenth prob- lem. The cue- ball is in line with the centre of the left middle pocket, the red is ra ther less than a. foot below the right middle pocket, and almost touching the sd-e cushion, and the object white is just clear of the baulk line in the posiLion shown in the diagram. What is the best stroke to play? The answer to this question will appear when our next problem is publiBhod, The Solution of Probiem 17. It is necessary to bring the "spider" rest into action to solve our seven- teenth problem. The cue-ball is very close indeed to the red, and by using th", spider we can impart a "curly" in-ovement to the cue-ball. Plenty of left sidoe should be called into requisition, as this serves to bring the cue- ball off the side and top cushions in such a waY that the cannon ca-n scarcely be missed, and at the same time enables us to make the fine contact with the red essential to out it away to the left and leave all three balls beautifully placed at the top of the table. This stroke is by no means difficult, and is well worth practising. JOHN ROBERTS.
