Oar readers will find in A Heart of Gold a sympathetic and graceful little loie story with a somewhat unusual olimax. I I (CXXNTIinJED FROM: YESTERDAY.) II. There wm a dull, grey sky overhead when the immortal Black Watch marched out of Edinburgh Castle next morning. With tartans fluttering in the light breeze, headed by the pipe-major, the pipers came four abreast, playing the stirring strains of Scotland Yet." Outside the castle gates were little knots of people who bad braved the early morning hour to speed the brave Highlanders, who, during their sojourn at the castle, had strengthened the ties of good feeling which were universally expressed towards the gal-! lant oorps. A Scottish cheer, full and deep, rose and feil, echoing far over the Calton Hill, and breaking on the silver waters of the Firth of Forth. The pipe tune changed to Hielan' Laddie," and here and there above the pipers' ekirl came from Scottish throats, Will ye no oc-me back again?" as relatives and, friends clasped hands with their dear ones as the Black Watchmen, their bonneted heads held high, their white-gaitered feet keeping! time to the pipers' skirl, marched out through the barrack gates. Kilts swung side by side in rhyme, and the proud array of brooches gleamed fitfully on the shoulder plaids of the Scotch laddies, as they* marched down the Princes Street en route for the station. Among those who had seen the departing troops within the castle was Marie Douglas. "My bonnie darling." cried Alistair, fondly, "I did not expect to see you, really, on account of the earliness of the hour." I had to come, Alistair. I promised, you krow, and I persuaded Aunt Annie to accom- pany me." Alistair Gordon took the elder lady's hand in a warm clasp, as he cried — Mrs. Maitland. how can I thank you?'* Don't try, laddie," she returned, gaily. "It isn't likely I'd let you go myself without bicding you good-bye." It's awfully good of you, though," he said, a stramge wilfulness creeping into his voice; then added, in a lower tone, Mrs. Maitland, cannot you give me a gleam of hope?" "Trust in Providence, and bide a wee, laddie. All will come right presently." I wish I could think so," he said, moodily. You re not going to tell me you're a Gordon and a Black Watchman, and canna trust and wait?" laughed Mrs. Maitland. No, no; I've known you since you were a wee laddie, and I ken you're made of different stuff than that. You'll be' coming back with a bit more gold lace on your coat in no time. Though it's bonnie enough you look now, I'm thinking, in all your war paint." There's many an aohing heart tinder the auld tartan to-day, for all the glamour a.nd the glory. Mine, for one," he responded, with a dreary laugh. You're wanted on the square, sir." It was Alistair's orderly who spoke, standing etiflty at salute. Very well, Maopbail, I'll come." The man retreated, and Alistair knew that the greatest of all moments bad arrived for him, the moment which meant parting from the one who was all in all to him, and whom he might never see again. Marie, her 90ft cheek pressed against the rich folds of his plaid, strove bravely to stifle her sobbing, and to whisper instead words of' encouragement which she knew were sorely needed by the one who, at the call of the pibrooh, must sally forth, and away ayont the borders of his native land. Be brave, little girl," he whispered.. gently raising the tear-stained face and Hating toll of the sweet lips. Good-bye, my darling, my little Marie, my loved one. God watch between me and thee when we are absent one from the other." One swift embrace from hearts too full for speech, one last passionate kiss, to Alistair the seal of their love troth, to Marie an eternal farewell, and Alistair Gordon hurried out on the square as the last company of aoddier3 fell into line. One of the finest sights in the world is to see a kilted regimen* on the march, and so thought Mrs. Madtliwad as, with Marie by her side, she looked down from the castle battle- ments at the bonnie lads assembled below. Quick maroh!" The colon-el's voice rose clear amd com- manding above tbe tumult, and in response the battalion moved forward as one man. Tbe tramp-, of feet sounded farther and fa.rtber a.Walv. The skirl of the pipes came fainter and fainter on the morning air. They had gone, the gallant Highlanders, and with them Alistair Gordon. for whom already in Marie's heart a cry was awakening. Lieutenant Gordon." Sir Richard Geary." Such was the greeting between the two men as AlistaiT stepped briskly on to the platform with his company. Oan I have a few momenta alone with you, Mr. Gordon?" I'm afraid not; what you have to »a.y must be said here. It is, as you must admi hardly a time for private coi*versation, was fft oold reply. The ba.ronet was piqued, but when he spoke again his voice was as oheory as ever. "I have come purposely to see you, Mr. Gordon. As man to man, will you answer me one or two questions?" The young officer's lips curled ever 901 slightly under his well-trimmed moustache. His voice, carrying a note of intensity with it. sounded strange in the ears of Sir Richard, who, in his heart of hearts, had a very kindly feeling towards the popular lieutenant. "That. Sir Richard, depends on the sub- ject- Sir Richard hesitated, but the entraining i was rapidly being pushed forward, and soon lieutenant Gordon, with no knowledge of what was in Sir Richard's heart, would be whirling away southwards. You love Miss Douglas, and the dearest wieh of your heart is to make her your wife?" Sir Riohard asked, with British bluntness. Alistair flushed, and his bonneted head. if possible, went a shade higher as he answered, with a careless smile "Since you have so accurately guessed the state of my feelings towards Miss Douglas, there ia no need for us to discuss the matter further. It might only lead to unpleasant complications." Sir Richa-rd winced. To be taken down by this cool. youthful Scotsman was a little galling. To be treated with such utter dis- regard was new to him, but to pursue the subject further would most likely not improve matters. And. in point of fact, Alistair's words had declared it at an end as far as he was concerned. Under the circumstances, then. I will say good-bye and God speed," he said, stretching out his hand as he spoke. The two rivals clasped bands, the single word good-bye falling bard and metallic from Alistair's set Its. The baronet raised his goktmounted cane by way of eahrte as be moved away, the soldier returning it with military precision. Then, his face white and set, he slipped swiftly into the compartment. Marie aa.t in her charming blue and white boudoir at Douglas House, looking listlessly at the flashing gems lying on her lap. Diamonds and sapphires, rubies and pearls all lay in one brilliant mass, as she had emptied them carelessly from their cases. Suddenly she gathered them up in tile skirt of her dress, and crossing over to the window, drew up the blind with a jerk. Then, sitting down before the casement, her beautiful eyes strayed rest- ieesly to the grim outlines of the fine old castle, lifted like some weird monster against the heavens, which look almost blue in the intensenees of the moonlight. Once again she was within its grey walls, once ag-ain she was pressed against a manly breast, and an eager voice whispered undying love. It was but a dream now, a beautiful dream which had lost its reality in a cruel silence which had follo-wed it. Twelve months," Marie said to herself, softly, twelve months to-day since Alistair went away. Only a year, yet to me it has been an eternity. Oh, Alistair, my love, your cruelty has broken my heart. I thought you loved me, but it was only a foolish dream, and in three days I shall be a bride. I shall vow before God's altar to love, honour, and obey—ail the time knowing I have no love to give. For it is yours, my beloved, and will be until I die." With the air of one who has tasted the cup of happiness and then seen it dashed ruth-, iessly from the lips. Marie gathered up the sparkling gems, which had fallen unheeded to the floor, making no sound as they fell on the thick velvet pile carpet, and, walking to the inlaid secretaire, she laid them upon it, then, taking a key, unlocked one of the drawers and drew out a slip of paper and a small box. With trembling fingers she raised the lid and gazed at the contents—only a, spray of ivy clasped within a brooch bearing the solitary word Bydaad, and by its side a companion spray, which told of Gordon's broken vow. Twelve months before it had been a thing of treasure lying pressed over a soldier's heart. Six months later it was brought to Marie from a far-off foreign station, and with it a few scrawled, unsigned lines, tell- ing how the writer had regretted the vow so thoughtlessly made before leaving the far- off northern city, and with a heart-broken cry Marie had laid them—the emblems of her love troth and Alistair Gordon's—side by side and locked them a.vay. 'They were but the relics of days unmarred by mistrust in human faith. Marie touched the bell, which was answered by her maid. I shall not come down to-night, Annie," she said. "Tell my father I have a bad headache, and I think I shall go to bed." The maid started at the deadly pallor of her young mistress's face. Are you ill, Miss Marie?" she inquired. anxiously. Xo, Annie, I am not ill, only very, very miserable," the tears welling up into her eyes as she spoke. "You can go now," she added. I wish to be alone, and you need not come in again to-night; I can manage quite well myself." The maid withdrew quietly. On the corri- dor "he met Sir Richard Geary. Where j,3 Miss Douglas?" he aslied, kindly. Is she not coming down?" Miss Marie is in her room, sir. She wished me to tell the master she had a headache, and would not come down to- nighL" Sir Richard thanked her, and passed on, pausing as he reached Marie's door, Marie, my chikl, you shall be happy yet, he breathed softly. "You shall marry the one you love. God helping me, darling, you shall." A vision of a stalwart figure, a pair of dark eyes in which the love-light glittered, a broad shoulder with a Gordon plaid thrown oareleasly across, and a young girl, dark- haired, with long lashes veiling a pair of soulful eye, looking up into the earnest face of her lover, rose before his mental goaze. The vision was the plighting of the love troth between Alistair Gordon and Marie Douglas at Kelvin brae, where Sir Richard and the gay young Highlander had been her father's guests many months before. Sir Richard had been an unseen spectator of the little affair, and now it rose up in strong force before him. His heart told him, with a pang of anguish, that such love as he read between them then would live and live for ever. He dragged himself wearily down the great staircase into the hall, the footman with his ghastly face. But Sir Richard's resolve wa*j made, and without a word he passed out into the night. John Douglas, coming suddenly from the dining-room, caught a glimpse of a dazed, agonised fa-r-a, and a strange foreboding of coming evil flashed before him as he re-traced his steps to make the most feasible sugges- tion for the unwonted absence of Sir Richard Geary, the prospective bridegroom.

The American is expected to reach L-oildon to-day to put his pi-ginature to the a%Tvement. It is pleasing to hear that the way has, been paved foir a bout which should not only create a very large amount of interest—espe- cially so seeing that the men will clash on Monday in Derby week-but will also enable the two to settle the vexed question of superiority under the fairest conditions.

Hot dripping must never be poured into a vessel containing oold dripping. or it will turn musty in a very short time. The meat safe should be hung in a cool, I airy place.

The sugar prevents hardness, imparts a nice flavor, and is a good antiseptic. It should then be laid in a tub, or any other suitable vessel, with the skin side down, so that the liquor may drain away. for if permitted to sink into the bacon it imparts a strong rusty fla-var. Cover the fleshy part with the dry salt mixture, which should be changed every three days.

"LaYe your neighbour as yourself," said the minister, with great earnestness. "Thomas," whispered the lady to her hus- band, who lived next door to a pretty young widow, "come away; this is no pLajce for you." Squire: I heard you are getting the pen- sion, Pat? "Yas." "A crown, I suppose?" "No, eir; I got two." "How is thaA?" "Well, sir, I got one on my head and the other in my hand." Old Lady: I shorald like a. ticket for the train?

Lady: Well. if yQQ, are a specimen of what I shall find in the passenger train, give me a, ticket for the cattle train. by all means. Short: I thought yoa were going to drown that cat? Long: Well, they say a oat has nine lives, but this one has twenty, I think. Why, I actually put that cat into a timb of waiter and. tied a brick round its neck; and what do you think? Short: Goodness knows. Long ■■ Well, this morning when I went, to look at the tub the cat had swallowed all the water and was sitting on the brick. The scene wa-a a gambling saloon in Paris; a game of eoaarte had just been played. The two players got up, and one of them stepped close to the other. "Sir!" "What do you waant?" "I saw you cheat just now." "I am rare of it." "You mean to rain me?" "Quite the contrary; I want you to take me into partnership." A soldier beloncing to one of our infantry regiments was one day recently detailed by the regimental sergeant-major for duty colonel's orderly. Accordingly next morning ait nine o'clock the man walked upstairs to the colonel's room, where his chief was just about to have his breakfast. Finding the door a little way open. the man entered without knocking, exclaiming at the same time to the colonel, "I am your orderly to day, isir." The colonel, taken by surprise, lectured the mam. severely for coming to his quarters in such a rude manner, and said he would explain to the soldier his duties as orderly. He then told the man to take his (the colonel's) seat for a, few minutes, and walked out of the room, closing the door after him. .Presently he returned and knocked at the door. gøeø there?..

200 Left the Church
200 Left the Church AMAZING SCENES AT AN INDUCTION I There were remarkable scenes at Preston I laft night, when the Rev. W. E. H. Morris, of Manchester, was inducted to the living of Emmanuel Church. The bulk of the congregation desired that the new vicar should be the Rev. W. J. Hull. who became very popular while h<» was curate-in-charge. Members of the congrega- tion have protested by walking out of the church when the temporary clergyman was about to preach and in other ways indicated their displeasure. A large crowd assembled oateide the church yesterday evening and hooted as the robed procession of clergy and choir passed into the building, which was packed. Archdeacon Hornby said he gave notice that anybody intending to leave the church might do so then, but anyone leaving after the ser. vice had begun would have his name taken, and legal proceedings wonld be taken against him. About 200 people rose at once in various parts of the church and left tbe building, and it was some minutes before the service proceeded. There was no subsequent disturb- ance until after the service, when the proces- sion was hooted again outside the church. TILose who left in protest held an open-air service of their own.

Doctor's -Serious Errorl
Doctor's Serious Errorl I TRANCE MISTAKEN FOR DEATH I A rema-rkaible burial case is reported from I Gijon (says the Daily Telegraph"). A ten- year-old girl had an attack of epilepsy, and was beUeved by her parents and the doctor to I be deaci. The necessary arrangements for interment were made, and tifoe body was in due course brought to the cemetery chapel for burial en the following day. I Burins the night, however, the you/ragr girl, who was only in a temporary trance, awoke, and succeeded in breaking the coffin lid. She oried for her parents, but her voice was so weak that the night watchman did not hear it. On the following morning the mourners arrived at the chapel, and found the little girl in a. very feeble condition. She was iwia-ble to speak, and, in spite of every at-ten- tion, died shortly afterwards, and was at once buried. Her father and mother are in a state of indignation against the doctor, ajid I a lawsuit wiH probably follow.
ITHE SHEPHERD'S TOE
I THE SHEPHERD'S TOE In the Rochester County-court yesterday j judgment was given in a claim, for arbitra- I tion under the Workmen's Com.pensation Act brought by Maran White, a shepherd, against Mr. Richard Sheepwash, a faomer, of Gilling- hnum. Applicant had a septic foot, which had been caused, he said, by knocking his toe against the back of a harrow. The Judge said the inference be drew from the evidence was that the toe was injured by the pressure of a boot which had shrunk and become too tight for the applicant. He would say that the scraping of the shepherd's toe by the boots, which bad become too tight, was almost inevitable. Judgment was given for the respondent, with costs.

Suicide of -Three Girls I
Suicide of Three Girls 1 400 PLAYED CHOPIN AND DRANK POISON The continual epidemic of neurasthenia. melancholia, and consequent, suicide in St. Petersburg is again brought into notice by the death yesterday of three girls belonging to the best social circles. Two sisters, named Kolmann, aged twenty and sixteen years, and Mile. Lauricz, heiress to a, fortune of zE2,000,000, ended their lives yesterday. The girls met, and aftelr one of them bad played Chopin's Marohe Funebre, the three drank poison together, woo very soon expired. The features of all were, even after death, an expression of con- tent and happiness. The girls left letters to say that they were tired of life. No other motive is known for their decision to seek death. Their families are in despair. Fifteen other siiioides, mostly of girls, were reported yesterday. The number of people who have of late ended their existence with bullet and poison, simply because they were ■weary of life, is astonishing. Young women and children seem- particularly- affected by t'he suioidal mania. In one day recently there were 29 suicides, including sixteen women and three children. The Russian law, as it stands at present, punishes severely attmipts at suicidc. But now a Bill has been proposed by certain members of the Council of the Empire abolishing these penalties, on the ground that life is an individual's private pro- i perty," and that everyone should be free to dispose of his own existence. This Bill has created much stir, and haa been described as symptomatic of the "neurasthenia of the Council of the Empire."
PRETTY BARRY WEDDING. I
PRETTY BARRY WEDDING. I More than ordinary interest centred in the ma,rriage on Thursday of Miss Bessie Hols- grove Jones, Hewel House, Barry Island, to Mr. Sidney Oswald Nicholls, of London, inasmuch as the bride is the eldest daughter of Claptain Morris Jones, the dockmaster at Barry. Mr. Nioholls is the eldest son of Mr. Matthew Nioholls, of Kensington. The obrem-ony took place at St. Barok's Church, MISS BESSIE JONES. MR. S. O. NICHOLLS. Barry Island, the Rev. F. Rees, curate-in- oharsre, officiating. Captain Jones gave his I daughter away, and the best man was Mr. Bert Nioholls, brother of the bridegroom. I The bridemaids, who were presented by the l groom with silver purses and gold slave chains, were Miss Graoe Gwendoline Jones and Miss Mabel Cooper Jones, sisters of the bride. A reception was afterwards given at Hewel House, attended by a large number of relatives and friends of both parties, and in the afternoon Mr. and Mrs. Nioholls left for Cheltenham, where the honeymoon will be spent, before taking up their residence in London. There was a large number of valuable and useful wedding presents.
FRAUD ON A .SERVANT GIRL
FRAUD ON A SERVANT GIRL urian Leonard waraener (Zb), a printer, was convicted at the West London Court yester- day of obtaining £10 by false pretenoes from Mary Bloomfleld, a cook, and n from Alfred William: Bloomfleld, her brother, a butler. The prisoner, it appeared-a married man- made the casual acquaintance of the prose- cutrix, and paid her attentions with a view to marriage. In the course of the courtship he falsely represented to her that he was being pressed by a lona society, as he bad stood security for a man, and she advanced him money to save him from being sent to prison for the debt. The Magistrate, observ- ing that it was a cruel case of fraud, sea- tenced him to nine months' hard labour. The Prisoner: May I see my wife before I go? Mr. Fordham: I should not think she would want to see you.
WASHING DAY
WASHING DAY Tthe following story illustrates the amusing matter-of-ifaot character of Yorkshire folk. After 81Th absence of five or six yea.Ts a. pro- digal son returned home after "roughing it" in Australia. His coming was entirely un- announced and unexpected). He pushed open the door, and walked in. Hia father, who was stirring the Are, looked up and remarked, "Hallo, lad! is it thee?" atid then called out, "Eh! motlheT, there's our Bill back agean." Presently the mother apmared straight from the washing tub. "Well," she said to her long-lost offspring, "I oault, say tjhat thia looks any worse for wear, lad, but whatever made tha' come back agean on a Tuesday, when tha' knew it wor washing day!"
DRINK FROM ANTS' EGGS I
DRINK FROM ANTS' EGGS I A very dangerous form of intoxicant, locally known as Qadi," has been introduced into Basutoland from Bechuanaland during the last few years, according to a Colonail report issued last night. It is made from ants' eggs, and seriously impairs the intellects of its devotees. It has been prohibited in the Mafe- teng Government Reserve owing to its demoralising effect. The report adds that the smuggling of intoxicating liquors into Basu- toland from the Orange River Colony has increased considerably. IMs heard on all sides that many white men in border towns in the Orange River Colony make their living exclusively by this illicit traffic.
IOVERLAPPING ALMSGIVING,_!
I OVERLAPPING ALMSGIVING, At a conference of relief organisations at Birmingham last night Mr. George Cadfbury referred to the problem of overlapping in almsgiving. There were families in that dis- trict receiving as much as 25s. a week from rates and voluntary philanthropy, while clolge by there were probably living more deserving people who were gating nothing. The card system now adopted by the Bir- mingham City Aid Society, however, would do much towards solving the problem, as it could be seen at once what families weire receiving from the rates and from voluntary organi- sation.

Mr. Justice Eve, while being satisfied that the noise had hoen lessened, granted an injunction restrain- ing the company from causing a nuisance by the noise; but- suspended the operation of the injunction for a month in order to enable the company to put a scheme of alterations before Sim. The company was ordered to pay the costs.

I Hotelkeeper: and Nursel
I Hotelkeeper: and Nursel LOVE AFFAIR HAS PROSAIC SEQUEL I A nurse's love story was told at Leeds 1 Assizes yesterday, when Miss Emma Hebden, I of Sheffield, was awarded £125 and costs for breaoh of promise of marriage against Edward Ernest Griffith, landlord of the Adel- phi Hotel, Sheffield. Mr. Mitcheri-Innes, K.C., stated that Miss Hebden was sent to the hotel to nurse defen- dant's wife. Eventually the wife died, and shortly afterwards Mr. Griffith proposed to Miss Hebden. As his wife had died eo recently, Miss Hebden refused to listen to the suggestion, but he persisted in his visits to the home. UItimateLy, after a good dead, of pmoug.- sion, she agreed to become his wife. Later, however, defendant's letters cooled, and eventually the engagement was broken off. Plaintiff, in her evidence, said it was agreed they should be married in August, and she pressed for sometlhing definite'. He then addressed her as Dear Emma," saying he could not majry at the time suggested. She consequently visited him again, and j when questioned a)bout the marriage he said he liad not time to talk about. these things. Defendant had, she "aid" told her his net hotel profits were 1500 a year. She gave notice at the nursing institution, and sent in her uniform. She spent about £ 50 in pre- paring forlier marriage. Mr. Waugih, K.C., for the defence, cross- examined the plaintiff as to her list of app,arol bought for the wedding. The articles included four voile dresses and under gar- ments to match, and similar clothing, the recapitulation of which created much amuse- ment iji court. Counsel quoted from a letter in which plaintiff told defendant, addressing him ae "Dearest," that she could never assist him. downstairs, and she asked him to read, mark, and inwardly digest that. Witness admitted the letter, and also that in Feb.ru airy, 1908, she broke off the engage- ment, returning all the presents, but it was renewed. In May of that year she spoke of getting rid of nursing, and suggested she would rathorr go round with a box-organ and a monkey than continue nursing without a holiday. Medical evidence was called that defendant had suffered from diabetes, and was therefore unfit to marry. The jury awarded the plaintiff XM.
