TO-OAVS SHORT STORY.] Thirteen! ij By CHARLES D. LESLIE. I t, (OQPTEIGHT.) I It began ao pleasantly, that historic lun- cheon party, it ended so uncomfortably, and the sequel was so surprising that, though months have passed, I can recall all that befel as if it were yesterday. It was a Sun- day luncheon party, one of Mrs. Lee Hoxmaxt's, she gave one almost every Sun- day when in Onslow Gardens, and it was a j great privilege to be asked; the guests were I chosen with discrimination from among her friends. People who were quite celebrated I' often aoeled for invitations in vain, a faet- 1 which flattered our vanity highly. As one of the select myself, I impressed upon young I Bayfield, as we walked there that May day, ¡ the high honour bestowed upon him. He was a now acquaintance, a journalist straight from Oxford, and his list of friends in Lonr don small. "Sbe used to know my mother," he ex- plained, 'we met at Nice this winter, and she told me to call, when I settled in town. 1 called Last week, she was out, bat wrote and asked me to come to luncheon." "You'll meet some of the pleasanteat people in London," I said enthusiastically. "Art, literature, the stage; you'll find all worthily represented at her table. I expect Adams will be there for one. I hear he's back in town; the novelist, I mean." "That's splendid." the young man cried, "and her son. Captain Lee-Norman, the aeronautical expert, will he be there?" "Xo, he's tied to Alderehot at present, building the new airship." "Any pretty girls?" "You bet," was my colloquial response as we went up the steps. • I Punctually at half-past one we sat down 1 at the table. Bayfield, thanks to his hos- | tees's smiling speech of welcome, and the fact that pretty Miss Vera Sinclair-,who I I achieved the double distinction of being a J charming aotress on the stage and a charm- 1 ing girl off it next him, was already on 1 good terms with himself and his surround ings. Let me briefly enumerate the guests that day: Of the other ladies there were the two Miss O'Brians, both clever artists; Mrs. Arbuthnot, a real merry widow, and Lady Fairford, the only plain woman of the A party, bat an amazingly fine talker when in Sj the vein. Adams sat facing our hostess. Just turned forty, he ranked among the first six living writers of fiction. He was a big, burly man with a smiling face, who laughed through life. Yet his own, as his intimates knew, had been a tragedy. His marriage had been more than a failure; it had been a disaster. Death. had set him free, and we all suspected Mrs. Arbuthnot of hankering j to ziLarry him. 3Lajor Constant, the explorer, MaeOreedy, the medical attendant of most I of us, young Sinclair, the actor, twin brother )f to Vera, B?ynetd. and myself. t) At the very beginning Mrs. Arbuthnot and Adams started verbal sparring, and the lady flatly declined to sit next the novelist. Bay- field, on her left, had to change with her and relinquish his seat beside Vera. Sinclair. Adams began a tirade on the custom of so arranging guests that the sexes were sepa- rated. "The ladies should always be put together at table," he declared: 'they're designed to be looked at. I'd like to see You ladies all in a row, like half-a-dosen extremely fascinating Aunt Sallies which my eyes ean absorb and take in simultaneously." "Poor Mr. Adams, laughed the widow, "his eimiles get more and more wild as he en- deavours to avoid the obvious." "€kwd and new similes are hard to find," confessed Adams. That's the tragedy of the writer; failure to hit on a plot or a type never used before. What's the tragedy of an actress, Miss Vera?" "The fear of getting stout. If a woman can 'keep her figure she can play heroines at 63, like the great Sarah. I'm doomed to be fat at forty; it's hereditary. But I'll never play stage odd women; I'll die first, or retire." "Then we most save your figure. Stop eat- ing that mayonnaise. Salmon is fattening." The lady did not respond; she was looking j? towards the door which had just opened, ||j admitting a soldierly-looting young man. Mrs. Lee-Nonnaa rose with a cry of plea- sure. "My dear Adrian, what a pleasant sur- prise: you wrote you couldn't come." "My dear mother," the stalwart young man kissed her affectionately, "I thought I ooaldn't, bat we're at a standstill unexpec- tedly, and my chief had to come down to town this morning and brought me in his motor. He dropped me at the oorner. Ladies and gentlemen, your obedient servant, but it's a shaime to disturb the symmetry of the party. He wandered round shaking hands and stopped finally between the younger Miss O'Brian and Adams, the latter insisting he should sit next him. Connpton hastily laid a plate. and brought a chair. "And when are you coming to my digs in Gordon Place in your airship?" asked the novelist. "My balcony is specially adapted for calls from aeronauts, I'll have you know." "Within two years," answered the soldier gravely, amd fell upon the plate of mayon- naise OompC-on brought him. Luncheon went with a swing. Adams in particular ws? good company. He not oniy talked bnlliamtly. but he mapired others to talk brilliantly: the ball of conversation never flagged; we ate and drank, talked, laughed, and listered; we were the merriest party in London that day. The meal was ending, dessert in progress, ■when a cry from Mrs. Arbuthnot drew general attention to our merry widow, "Oh," she exclaimed, "oh, look, we're—we'je thir- teen at taible!" A sudden hush followed her words, every- body looked and reckoned and saw it was so, but no one spoke for a moment. Perso- nally, though I deny I'm superstitious, I "wished it hadn't happened. I believe I looked grave. I'm certain everyone else did. Then the men, including myself, began to speak, disclaiming any fear of consequences, but Adams with a commanding gesture silenced I us. "Don't rise anyone. Forgive me, Mrs. Lee- Iforman, let me arrange this. The supersti- tion is that the first of the thirteen who rises from tOO table dies before the year is out. Let's show how faJse that is. Here am I in the prime of life, here are two lusty yonng fellows younger than I," his hands shot out taking an arm of Lee-Norman and aGo arm. of Bayfield, "we'll rise together defy- ing fate and see what happens. Up, Guards! I think Mrs. Norman cried "Adrian, please dowt," but at the novelist's last word the three men rose simultaneously, laughing in the faces of the rest of us. But the ladies looked frightened. Then with more or less r effort we all began to talk and laugh at onee. Mrs. Lee-Norman led the way into the dra.win,g-ro-ocm, and Oompton served coffee, j but a shadow had fallen on the party; in vain Ads-ma told a fun.ny story. It fell flat. Conversation languished, and with one accord we hastened to take leave; never had -one at the famous luncheon parties broken ap aoearly and so awkwardly. Four months later, on a glorious. September ) afternoon, I sat in my rooms ringing u.p the f "Daily Herald," 4W I had a friend OIl the, staff, and with some trouble I got connec- tion. "Any news of the 'Oadenarde'?" I asked. There was none, I was told. Hope died in my heart. Bayfield must be dead. Six days had passed since the torpedo boat in which he was a passenger had left Great Yarmouth. A storm rose that night, and one of her boats and some wreckage were washed ashore at Oaister next day. After a while, feeling disinclined for work, I decided to go and call on Mrs. Lee-Norman, who had recently returned to London. At the corner of the street I ran across Miss Sinclair bound on a similar errand. Together we discussed young Bayfield's fate, ignoring the incident of the thirteenth luncheon party, but it was very present in our minds all the same. Oompton admitted us into the drawing- room, and returned with a message that if we didn't mind waiting, Mrs. Lee-Norman, at present engaged with her dressmaker, would be with us in a very few minutes. But before she arrived we were joined by Her- bert Sinclair. 'Have you heard the news?" he asked excitedly. "Adams is dead." I snatched the evening paper he held from hie hands. "Death of a famous novelist. Mr. Percival Adams, the well-known English novelist, who has for some time past been staying at the Hotel du President, Trouville, died suddenly last night.—Renter." Woe were still starin-g at each other, dumbly absorbing the news when Mrs. Lee- Norman entered. She burst into tears when I read the paragraph to her. "Adrian will die, too," she cried; "I feel sure of it. He was the real thirteenth" "Dear Mrs. Lee-Norman," cried Vera, tears of sympathy in her eyes, don't, please don't, anticipate the worst." "Listen," said the widow, unheeding her, "some disaster has happened. I hear a news- boy. They are trying the airship this week. Adrian is dead." The raucous voice of a perambulating news- vendor wailing 'Orrible disaster, spectral," was disturbing the peace of Onslow G-ardems. I rushed into the hall and gave Compton half-a-crown. Buy all the boy's papers," I said, quiet him somehow." I knew the worst had occurred from the man's white face when he came back three minutes later. Yes, sir, the captain's dead, he and the colonel; oh, my poor mistress!" In the stop press column I read Press Association Telegram. The new military airship with Colonel Hooper in charge, and Captain Lee-Norm&n acting as mechanician, which left the works at noon to-day, fouled a lofty oak near Farnham an hour later and was completely wrecked; the occupants were flung violently out; Captain fee--Norman was killed on the spot, and Colonel Hooper, picked up badly injured, died half an hour later. With reluctant feet I re-entered the draw- ing-room. Mrs. Lee-Norman, her comely face haggard, sat on the sofa convulsively holding Vera Sinclair's hands; dumbly her eyes asked the inevitable question. It was cruel to tell her the truth, equally cruel to withhold it; I felt like a butcher. I'm sorry to say there's a report-" my halting words died on my lips, theuuhappy lady sprang to her feet. Adrian, my son. my son!" The wail of a woman mourn- ing her only child rang out in the very modern, very luxurious drawing-room. She fell heavily into V era's arms. "Shes fainted, no, let her lie; a cushion, Herbert." I ran to the telephone and called up Mac- Creedy. By great good luck he was in, and five minutes later, for he lived close by, in attendance. But there was little to do. The bereaved mother lay on the sofa feebly m03in- ing for her son; it was a case beyond the whole College of Surgeons. The three of them," I groaned, all dead." Xa.cCreedy, striding up and down the room pulling his whiskers and muttering to him- self, turned savagely on me, Eh, what's that?" There's a telegram from Trouville; Adams died there last night, and Bayfield went down in the Oudenarde; there's no hope now that any of the carew have been saved. You remember how the three of them rose from the table to get .her that time we were thirteen at lunch." Beh!" cried NiacCreedy; "as for. that. What the devil do you want mow, Comp- ton ?" If you pleaze, sir, it's a telegram for the mis trees." What inspired me I don't know, but I took it off the salver and tore it open. Hurrah!" I shouted. Mrs. Lee-Norman, it's from Adrian. He's alive. He's alive. Listen!" Any reports of my death either in the newspapers or otherwise, are entirely un- authorised by me, and may be totally dis- regarded. I've broken two ribs and sprained mv wrist, but nothing worse. Was picked up senseless, hence the earlier rumour which I fear may have reached you. Come to the hospital to cheer me up. Adrian." "Good old Adrian!" shouted Herbert Sin- clair, amd catching his sister round the waist, waltzed her round the room. Mrs. Lee-Norman sat holding the precious telegram and crying softly, but they were tears of joy. You keep still for ten minutes," ordered MaeOreedy, and I'll take you down to Aldershot myself. Now, you," this was to me, what do you mean by say- ing Bayfield is drowned ? Where's that evening paper. Here we axe, a telegram from Stockholm. Five members of the crew of the Oudenarde, including Mr. Bayfield, a jour- nalist, were brought into port by the steamer Sophia Western early this morning. The captain reports colliding and ruoming down the torpedo boat in the night of the 9th inet. "Hue rest of the crww were drowned." Go on." I said feebly. tell me next dear old Adams isn't dead." The older I grow the less inclined I feel to dogmatise on an-y subjects. Regarding poor Adams, however, my lips are unsealed and I can give a very simple and prosiac reason for his death. He> been a doomed man this last twelvemonth.. He was jesting with death that Sunday. He knew he couldn't outlive the year. And I think he was glad. I believe, knowing him as I do, he welcomed death. And now, dear lady, that you're calmer, you may go and put your hat on and we'll take a taxi to Aldershot." THE END.

For Women Folk. I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHE& I Many recipes will only be lees rich with lese butter and eggs, and be no failure. Any candle may be made self-fitting by dipping the end in hot water and pushing it into the socket. Table linen should be ironed with heavy irons and until perfectly dry if it is required to look well. To keep sandwiches fresh wra.p them in a olean cloth and put them in a clean fish kettle or any clean tan saucepan, and close Lid tightly. Another way is to put in a clean basin and stand in another basin of cold water and cover close, keeping them in a cool place. Mahogany Stain I Logwood, two ounces; madder, eight ounces; fustic, one ounce; water, one gallon; boil two hours, and apply it several times to the wood boiling hot, when dry slightly brush it over with a solution of pearlash, one oun-ce in a quart of water. Dry and finish off with wax. • Tripe and Onions Out one pound of dressed tripe into square pieces, put them into a pan with one pint of milk and half a pint of water, amd simmer till tender. Boil half a pound of onions,- drain and chop finely. Thicken the milk with flour, add the chopped onions, and let all cook gently together for twenty minutes Season well with 6altan pepper, and serve very hot. Plain boiled potatoes and greens should be served with this dish. To Clean Saucepans, Ac, To clean saucepans, etc., fill the copper; put into it lib. soda, lib. soft soap; when the water boils put in all iron and tinware that ought to be bright, or is caked with soot and grease from cooking on open ranges, all baking tins, gridirons, etc.; pat the lid on and boil for three hours. Then rinse well, dry, and put near the fire for a time; polish tins with a leather and dry whiting; empty and dry copper while hot, when it will be found beautifully bright. Keep a brush and pot of fat to grease outside of saucepans before using, and wash directly after. Port Wine Jelly Port wine jelly is better for weakly patients than the wine itself, as it is less likely to affect the head. Dissolve half an ounce of isinglass in as little wa-ter as you can over tbe fire, add juice of a lemon, and about an ounce of loaf sugar. When quite dissolved make up to a. pinrt with port wine, off the fire. It should not boil again after the wine is added. Turn into a. wetted mould at once. No straining is required, as it is not supposed to be a clear jelly. Being very strong, only I a very small quantity should be taken at a time. Claret jelly can be made in the same manner, and it is even more important in this case than in the other that the wine ehould neither be boiled nor put in too hot.

I Passing Pleasantries. I Wife: Here's another invitation to dine at the Flatleys. What a, bore those occasions a.re! Hubby: Yes; even their dinner-knives a.re .dull. Manager: I've got a new idea for a melo- dra.ma. that ought to make a hit. Writer: What is it? Manager: The idea is to introduce a. cyclone into the first act that will kill all the actors. Mother: Gertrude, I'm afraid you made a. mistake in refusing that Mr. Juniper. Daughter: Why, mother? Mother: Why, the weak manner in whioh he took your refusal shows that he is of the stuff that husbands should be made of. A certain married man was in the habit of troubling his father-in-law with complaints I about his wife's behaviour. "Really, this is too bad!" cried the irascible old gentleman one day on hearing of some of his daughter's delinquencies. "If I hear any more oomplaints I will disinherit her." « There were no more. It was really very sweet, and the elderly visitor, who was awaiting the hostess in the drawing-room, smiled benignly as children's voices, coming from somewhere below, joined to the melodious strains of Oome back to Erin. Desirous of hearing still more, she stepped out to the head of the stairs and listened. Then, above the melody, she discerned the hoarse whisper of a small boy: "Sing up, Sis! Sing up!- One more turn o' the 'airpin '11 do it; but if yer don't make more row ma'll hear the lock go click!" Then suddenly the singing stopped—the pantry door had yielded. A man sat at lunoh in the dining-room of a well-known hotel, when a bill-collector, having somehow eluded the attendants in the hall, walked up to him and laid on the table an overdue account. The diner glared a.t the account, his fork suspended in the air. Then, solemnly and indignantly, he handed the paper back to the collector. How dare you," he said, infringe upon the rules of this establishment in this manner? Don't you know I can have you forcibly ejected for coming in here thus? Now, I insist on your going out into the hall immediately, taking this bill with you, and that you send in your caird by the attendants I in the proper way. The oolleotor, red in the faoe, but hopeful on the whole, complied. He retired to the hall, and sent in his card with all due formality. The debtor, eating steadily, received the card on a silver salver. He studied it gravely; then, turning to the waiter, he said: Not at home."
BRITON FERRY JOURNALIS HONOURED.
BRITON FERRY JOURNALIS HONOURED. A complimentary smoking concert and preeelllta,tion to Mr. W. H. Humphreys, Western Mail" correspondent at Briton Perry, took place at the local Institute, which was packed with a representative gathering of public men.

I a.nd a purse of gold) were ri-ohly deserved and well won. (Applause.) No one had done more for Briton Ferry than the recipient. whose writings in the pr?&s had been reepon- Bible for the bringing about of many very necessary projects in the town. The estab- lishment of the Briton Ferry Charitable Fund was due to him; also the promotion of & public-hall, which would soon be erected an their midst. (Applause.) Councillor Roberts and the Rev. Henry Hughes spoke, the latter saying that the Public-hall would stand as a memorial to the good work of Mr. Humphreys. (Applause.) Mr. W. Howells, secretary, Raglan Bay; Mr. H M. Ellis, accountant, Briton Ferry Urban District Council; Mr. Dan Perkins. solicitor; and Mr. Dugmore (manager Messrs. Wards Oompartly) surported the presentation, and Mr. Humphreys feelingly responded.

SALES OF SOAPS. FIRM'S SLANDER ACTION AGAINST NEWSPAPERS. The hearing was resumed in Edinburgh on Thursday of the action by Ogston and Tennant (Limited), soap majnifacturers, Glasgow and Aberdeen, against the "Daily Record," Glas- gow (Limited), for damages for slander said to have been contained in articles which appeared in the defendants' newspaper. Cross-examined, Mr. Alexander, managing director of Ogston and Tennant (Limited), eaid that for about two months before the newspaper attack began the grocers had been agitating rather strongly a?*ain?t the increase of price, the reason being that they could not take out of their customers the extra price they had to pay to the makers. Witness admitted tha.t in 1907, after all the attacks, their sales expanded, but explained that was largely due to Government contracts. He did not agree with the suggestion that it was damages paid to Lever Brothers in their action that had led his firm to come into oourt. rn- bearing was adjourned.

He alluded to the drunken- ness of some. Mr. Merrells said that they were displacing people from old houses, and they should not do so unless they had places to offer them to go to. The Chairman said that that was no reason for crowding them into small tenements. Mr. Merrells said he* would not consent to giving the estate aigent absolute power in these matters.

SEVERE PENALTIES BY WELSH…
SEVERE PENALTIES BY WELSH UNION I A number of prominent football players came under the ban Off the Welsh Rugby Union, sitting under the chairmanship of Mr. Horace Lyne, at Cardiff on Thursday evening. A sequel to the recent discreditable scenes at Newport was provided in the suspension of R. Edwards, Newport, and D. Westaoott, Cardiff, till October 1 next. They were reported for misconduct by the referee, Mr. E. Roberts, of Llanelly. When dictating the official report Mr. Walter Rees, the secre- tary, was asked if there was any communi- cation from the Cardiff Club in the case of Westacott, concerning whom it is now said to be an acknowledged fact that it was an instance of mistaken identity. Mr. Reea replied in the negative. It is understood that the Cardiff Club refrained from taking any action because the Welsh Union, as a matter of expediency, always accept the referee's report iii these matters without hearing any other evidence. In this oase, therefore, a serious injustice seems to have been done because of the policy of the Union, although the members of the Cardiff team themselves admit that an offence was com- mitted, but by another player other than Westaoott. Arising out of the Cardiff-Newport maicn, the Union committee recommended that clubs in future should not include players in their team who have been ordered off by the referee until their cases have been dealt with by the Union, and a bye-law to this effect will be brought in at the next annual meeting of the Union. Since the recent game at Newport the Uskside club have not played Edwards, but the Cardiff oommittde have selected Westacott each week. A number of other players were dealt with by the Union, Mr. L. H. Lloyd (Cwmbran) reported Ted Webster, of Abergavenny, for striking a Panteg player, and he (Webster) was suspended till October 1st. T. Evans, of Ystaiyiera., for misconduct, was suspended for a month. A particularly bad case was understood to be that of li. Beaiieor, of Danygraig, who was reported by Mr. E. Bailey, of Llanelly, for striking a Swansea Seconds player. Beanger was suspended till April 30, 1911. D. Davies, of Pontardawe, for striking a Danygraig player, was suspended till October 1, and so was Harold Harding, of the Neath Seconds, reported by Mr. W. Willis, of Penarth, for deliberate foul play against "Cardiff Seconds last Saturday. J. Jones, Aber- bargoed, and T. Howells, Caerpihilly, for fight- ing, were suspended till October 1 next. F. Kelland, Pontypridd, and Bowen, of Cil- fynydd 'Quins, reported by Mr. R. Pollock, Newport, for fighting, were suspended till December 31 of this year, and the Caerphilly linesman, named Trueman, also reported by Jir. Pollock for striking a Pontypridd player, will be permanently prohibited from taking any part in football in any capacity what- ever. WALES V. IRELAND. I The Welsh team to play Ireland at. jjuoim will leave Cardiff at 11.40 a.m. next Thurs- day, travelling via Fishguard and Rosslare, and arrive in Dublin at 10.20 the same iught.

I I The Welsh Schoolboys team to play Eng- land at Cardiff on Saturday week next had a practice on the Cardiff Arms Park on Thursday afternoon against a fifteen of Car- diff boys. Cornish at three-quarter and Wren and Hopkins at half were some of the international boys who showed excellent form. The team is regarded M one of the strongest that has ever played for Walee.
ITREW'S OMISSION.I
I TREW'S OMISSION. I I KEEN RESENTMENT FELT IN I WEST WALES. 1" Eastern partiality once more," was the cry down West on Thursday. The most valued player Wales has omitted, and thirew who have never done anything put in." Throughout Western Wales a good deal of adverse criticism of the Welsh Union was heard on Thursday. Neatih still have their bone of contention in lboing excluded from representation, whilst at Swansea the exclu- sion of Trew, the Welsh captain, so noted for his personal services as well as strategy as Welsh captain, was received with the greatest surprise. The report was at first scarcely credited, but afterwards the general opinion was that it was only a fresh instance of the erratic oondiuot of the Welsh Union at times. The general feeling at Swansea is that at least Trew might have been allowed to finisli the present season. It is true, indeed, that there have been no "courtesy caps in this I selection, or one would have come Trew's way The Swansea players who were out practis- ing on Thursday naturally resented the ingra- titude of the Welsh. Union very keenly, but Trew himself had not a word to say One comment made was:— The whole side has been built round Percy Bush, who was the only failure in the Welsh team against Scotland. No team but Cardiff would ever receive such consideration from the Welsh Union, no matter what their men were like. No other Welsh team is picked from whole- sale experimentally."
I ENGLISHMEN WIN IN FRANCE.I
I ENGLISHMEN WIN IN FRANCE. I I l&nd G. I I England 1 11 I France.—— 0 • 1 I PARIS, Thursday. The international Rugby match between France and England, which took place in the Pare des Princes enclosure this after- noon. resulted in a victory for the English- men by 11 points to 3. It was an excellent game, and it was a. hard-won victory. It was soon apparent the English would have no runaway win, the Frenchmen being remarkably quick, tackling well and putting up an admirable defence. Ten minutes after play began Berry soored the first try. which Chapman failed to con- vert, but no further points were scored in the next twenty minutes. Then Hudson, after a fine run through, scored the second try for England, whioh Chapman easily con- verted, making the score at half-time 8—0. In the second half the Frenchmen, espe- cially their forwards, played with a dash and spirit which excited the enthusiasm of the crowd, several bnUia.nt efforts carrying their attack right np to the English goal, and only just falling short of socess. Play had been in progress twenty minutes when Guillemin scored a try, after smartly following up a long I kick by Lesieur Mourial, however, failed to convert. During the last ten minutes the Frenchmen played a. man short. Lane retir- ing hurt. Hudson got in again shortly before the finish, but the kick at goal failed.— Reuter.
* MERTHYR ON TOP.
MERTHYR ON TOP. CUP-TIE DECIDED AFTER EXTRA TIME. Goals. Merthyr Town .1ø.1 Merely. 2 These teams met at Merthyr for the fifth time in the third round of the South WaJes Senior Cup in glorious weather. The game attracted a gate of over 4,000 spectators, who witnessed a ding-dong ga, extra time having to be played before either side could olaim advantage. Alardy had rather the better of exchanges in the initial half, putting on two goals through Jacobs and Levi. Merthyr retaliated in spirited fashion, Kelly registering Mer- thyr's first goal from a free kick. Merthyr improved considerably, and, following fine play by the halves, Fisher Put in a lovely oentre, from which D. W. Davies headed in, bringing the scores equal in the last minuie of the first half. In the aeoond half the homesters had much the better of the game, some fine rushes by the forwards deserving better luck. When time arrived the score stood at two goals eaon. Extra. time was played, the first quarter too an hour going in favour of Merthyr. From a penalty kick KeHy scored with a ligbitndng shot, giving the goaiaeeper no chance. Mardy plodded on gaanely, but met with a stubborn defence, and failed to get the equaliser. When ends were again changed Merthyr assumed the aggressive, and from an excellent centre by Pemberton D. W. Davies put his side further ahead, and when time was called Merthyr were leading by four goals to two. Kelly was in great iorm, playing with judgment, and was ably assisted by Churchill and Llewellyn. Of the forward line D. W. Davies was the hero, tnough the others aJl did well, Whittaker deserving mention. On the MardY side Williams in goal did well. the shots that beat him being of the best quality. Hugih Jones, ash, Jacobs, and Haldon added their share to an interesting The spectators at the close of the game showed their appreciation of some of the players by carrying them shoulder high to the headquarters, Lewis, D. W. Davies, amd Whittaker having a fudl share of attention, and there was a scene ot enthusiasm prob- ably never before witnessed in the Merthyr football world,

THE CEFN OUTRAGE.I
THE CEFN OUTRAGE. ANOTHER FAILURE TO 1DEN iLlrY BLUE POOL VICTIM. The body of the man found drowned in the Taff-Feohan River at Pontsarn on Sunday laet was viewed on Thursday by Mr. William Aubrey, of 214, Cathays-terrace, Cardiff. Henry Williams, whose corpse Mr. Rees, of the Adam and Eve Inn, Merthyr, believes it to be, had lodged with Mr. Aubrey, and it was thought that he would be able to, give conclusive evidence of identification. Having seen the body, however, he was not in a position to establish complete identity. The features of the deceased, he said, so faar as they could be judged, resembled those of Williams, but the elot-heg were not the same. Mr. Aubrey is said to have made a state- ment that Williams was at his house after tho outrage at Cefn Cemetery had been reported in the newspapers, and that he had himself comirnented upon it as "a horrible affair." According to the evidence of the doototo who made a poet-morteim examina- tion, the body must have been in the river from a time coincident with the date of the outrage, and if the statement of Mr. Aubrey is correct, then it rather disoount.s the theory tha.t the deceased and Williams were one and the. same person. Still, it is strange that Williams cannot be found, although diligent inquiries have been made by the police. The body was interred on Thursday ait Cefn Cemetery, but the articles of clothing have been preserved for identification pur- poses. MR. WILLIAMS SAFE. The evidence of identification given at the inqueet is set aside by information which has reached us from a reliable quarter to the effect that a telegram was on Thursday evening received from Mr. Henry Williams stating that he was safe. It will be recol- lected that a Mrs. Rees was called before the Coroner, amd she oxpreqmd a belief that the bore a resemblance to Mr. Williams. The telegram. apparently, has revealed the latter's whereabouts. Prior to hearing the above, one of our ■reporters called, upon Mrs. Aubrey, in Oathays-terrace, and was informed that though it was true Mr. Williams had not returned for his clot- l es, she had every proof that he was alive, and was in Cardiff.
I SCENE ON A SHIP.
I SCENE ON A SHIP. I CARDIFF WOUNDING CHARGE SENT FOR TRIAL. A charge of ontting and wounding was pre- ferred at Cardiff on Thursday against Antonio Gonsales and Louis Gassets by Wilheim Wich- man, Mr. Tom John defended. The parties are seagoing firemen on the steamship Rey- nolds, and it was alleged that on the night of February 4, while the ship was in Cardiff Roads, U quarrel ensued between the men in the forecastle, end Gussets cut the com- plainant about the neck and face with :t razor. Wiichman was removed to Cardiff, where he was attended by Dr. W. G.. Wil- liams, who said there were five clean cuts, two of them being an inch and a half deeip. The boatswain, in evidence, said he witnessed the beginning of the quarrel, and heard Gaseets say, "I will do something to him." He was advised not to, and the parties then eitapiped fighting and went to the forecastle, where in a few minutes the assault took place. Both prisoners were committed to the assizes.

mtmmmmmnrmiu mm, „ I Teething T rou bles canbe cured when they first make themselves known, or your baby can be saved from any form of teething trouble, by SCOTT'S Emulsion Teething troubles, slight or grave, are prevented or cured by giving Scott's Emulsion, which is not a medicine that merely gives temporary relief, Scott's Emulsion prevents or cures all forms of teething trouble! This statement is made here with confidence because hundreds of parents have written to say their children were cured or saved teething trouble by Scott's Emulsion. For example, I Mrs. Alice Brown wrote, 28th October 1908, from 2, Waterloo Place, Wellington Street, Cheltenham: « My little son had two teeth when weaned, but then took convulsions and would scream by the hour. Nothing seemed to suit him. At 18 months he still had only the two teeth and no sign of more. At last I tried Scott's Emulsion, and after afew doses he had no more con- ? ST vulsions. Before finishing one bottle, he cut all his teeth. I never saw W' sS! such a turn they seemed to come through all at once. Now he is tall ? and strong and can eat anything. This trademark was on the emulsion I bought." Presuming you wish to prevent or cure teething trouble, and influenced by the statements here made decide to buy Scott's Emulsion, decide also, and this is equally important, to GET SCOTT'S EMULSION. You may be asked to buy another emulsion and told it is just as good as Scott's." That proves that Scott's is THE Emulsion to buy, and proves also that substitute emulsions can only be sold on the reputation of Scott's Emulsion, substitute emulsions have no reputation of their own. That is why Scott's Emulsion cures and other emulsions do not cure; no other emulsion has yet been made that cures like Scott's cures! Scott's Emulsion cures the trouble-no matter the age of the patient—and will be approved by your Doctor for Teething Troubles if you ask him.
