Ft-BLISHED BY SPECIAL ARBANGEMENT. n. IN SHEEP^CLOTHING. BY HEADON HILL. 'Author of "The Ocean King Mystery," The Sentence of the Court," "The Kiss of the .Enemy, link by Link," Ac., Ac. [COPYRIGHT.] CHAPTER 1. 1 OUTSIDE THE TOWN-HALL. I The great fight was nearly over. The arc lamps in the open space round the Town-hall Winked and flashed upon a rast concourse -,vaitin-- in the pitiless rain for the result, all unheeding physical discomfort in keen zest to learn at the earliest moment which side had won. All Grandport was there, squeezing and jostling, but for the most part with the good hiimear of a British crowd eager to I ratify the election of its Pa.rliaraenta.ry repre- sentative. The fish docks were deserted, and | so were the mighty ship-buildin.- works J higher up the estuary of the tidal river; even a. contingent of the night watchmen had £ nea,k-q(l av/ay from their post-s for balf-u-n- hour to be present at the declaration of t!1A ¡ poll. The combat was unique in its way, because the combatants not only belonged to two t classes as wide apart as the poles, but because 1 thy had occupied the relative position of master and man." It was a bye-election, caused by the accept- ance by Sir George Linscombe, the sitting j member, ef an office under the Government, necessitating his offering himself to his con- stituents for re-election. The appointment had been made because it was supposed to be a perfectly safe seat. In official circles [ Carwardino stooped and kiescd the dead- c In Id'3 brow, I in London no one bad expeoted that there would be a contest at all. It was the general beiief that the gt-eat shipbuilder would be returned unopposed, and would go back to I Westminster after a pleasant excursion to his native town. It had come, therefore, as a bolt from the 1 blue to his party when ft transpired tha-t hot only was there to be a contest, but that a strong candidate was in the field in the person of young Will Carwardine, the eloquent local champion of the cause of Labour. And interest increased a hundred- fold, even in the distant Metropolie, when it came to be known that the silver-tongued orator of the masses had formerly worked as riveter in the Lipscombe ya-rds. The battle was fought strenuously, but without bitterness on either side, for Car- wardine was a straight hitter from the shoulder, disdaining petty personalities; and Sir George, as a generous employer, was a favourite among the wage-earnera of the mighty industry his enterprise bad created. When they met in the course of their canvass the two candidates greeted each other cor. dially, and in their speeches referred to their I opponent, in terms of respect. And this very popularity of the antagonists fanned the excitement to fever heat, for it was recognised that whichever won it would be by but a narrow majority. Suddenly there was a stir, followed by a hush of expectancy among the waiting crowd. A tall gentleman, with a light overcoat over his evening dress, came out on to the steps of the Town-hall. But it w-as quickly made apparent that he had nothing to do with the announcement of the poll. leisurely lighting J A cigarette, he threw an amused smile over the throng that barred his path as be endeavoured to descend.

He j disappeared like a brilliant meteor in the dense, drab cloud of the sons of toil, and j their ranks closed up solidly behind him. "Thats Lord Wargrave, who's been helpÎng: Sir George in his canvatio," said one of the crowd to his neighbour.

I saw him only yesterday, talking as chummy ae you please with old Wilmer Kite, the timekeeper at Lipscombe's. in the saloon bar of the Golden Compass, down on the Extension Quay.

"Ãye: 'tis the kids be kisses up here. but "ti" their mothers and growed-up sisters he likes best in Lunnon, I lam from my darter 8S is in service yonder," remarked a grimy- faced <-oaltrimmer.

The returning officer aavanced to the front and raised his hat, hushing the hoarse murmur to a whisper that finally died away. Ta.king instant advantage of the lull, in one clear, resonant shout he voiced the pro- nouncement of the electors of Grandport: CARWARDINE 15,867 I LIPSCOMBE 14,934 j It was all over. jLne nery young ex-nveter had beaten his old employer by the hand- eome majority of 933 votes.

Good old Sir Jarge! Sir Jarge don't bear to malice!" yelled an admirer, and the Blunder of applause that followed wai as much for the vanquished as for the victor. The subsequent amenities were rapidly run through. Carwardine spoke a few words of thanks to his supporters, and of modest diffidence in his own ability to serve their cause, but of determination to give them of the best that woe in him. Sir George Lips- combe, striking the good-natured note that had prevailed throughout the election, fol- lowed with a eemi-humoroas, tactful little speech to the effect that if they could do without him at Westmineter they couldn't at Grandport, and then, as if by magic, the crowd melted away. The group on the steps of the Town-haJl terforce remained till there was room for iem to move, some in their carriages and some on foot. Pride of place was given to Sir George Lipscombe's barouche, which. horsed by two spankling chestnuts, drew up first. The great shipbuilder, still bearing up bravely, got. into the vehicle and looked expectantly round for his son Owen to join him. He smiled rather w-earily when he espied his son's eagrr face within a oouple ot inches of the capable-looking countenance of the victorious candidate. The two young men c-eemed to be holding a friendly, but animated, conversation. "Owen is overdoing it," muttered the defeated member. "I flatter myself I've made it all correct and pretty in the hand-shaking line. And .I'm in a hurry—in a deuce of a hurry. When a man has to do what's in front of me to-night he wants to be done with all this tomfoolery and get to business." Sir George's patience was not sorely taxed. Owen Lipscombe slopped Will Carwardine cordially on the shoulder, and, jumping into the carriage, took his seat at his father's side. You're not grizzling over the job, dad, I hope?" he said, laying his hand affec- tionately on his father's knee as the coach- man drove off. Xot me," laughed the shipbuilder rather grimly I'm glad it's over, though; and look here, lad, though it was all very well | coming the friendly dodge with the oppo-zi- tion during the contest, there's no need to rub it in so thick any longer. I have the very highest respect for young Carwardine. but we don't want to lie down and let him make a doormat of us. There was no reason for you to stay and butter him up. at the expense of keeping me waiting." "I wasn't buttering him up, but quite the reverse," replied Owen, gravely. I also share your good opinion of him as 11 public character and an honourable opponent, but I couldn't resist giving him a gentle hint thaA privately he has been behaving like a be*ae<t to-day. His child has been very seriously ill, you know, and I stopped to inquire for it. Would you believe it, he haaht been near his home all day, and knevr no more about the child's condition then I did." "What did you say?" 8i,r George asked, » covert smile of amusement curling his firm mouth. Nothing much, but I let him see that 1 was surprised," replied the young man in a tone that drew from his father a. subdued chuckle. Proud as he was of his son, Sir George thought him just a little too quixotic in his outlook upon a world that has small use for sentiment nowadays. What made Wa.rgra,ve out and run at the last moment without waiting for the revult? Owen asked presently. Something in the question seemed to tickle Sir George immensely. Indeed, a superficial observer might have seen signs that the defeated candidate was enjoying in rather a sardonic mood some huge joke' that was hidden from all bat himself. He laughed again, and made answer in words which Owen, in a flash of enlightenment, was to remember long afterwards: Perhape he scented coming disaster." He has worked well for the cause, but I ahouldn t have given him credit for being M squeamish as that," remarked Owen thought- fully, taking it for granted that bis father meant the disaster that had befallen himself politically. Lord Wargrave strikes me as somewhat superficial, with all his goods in (the window. Honestly, I don't care for him, dad. I believe we should have done better if the central organisation had sent us down a lees showy but more sincere helper. Jndeed, I wonder, after spending a fo--tnight--M co- operation witb him, that he consented even for such a brief time to bury nis brilliancy in a place of thews and sinews like Grand- port—a. place where brains are at a dis- count." The barouche- was drawing up before the entrance of a gaily-lighted hotel, wherein were Sir George's committee-rooms. Before descending the shipbuilder turned sharply to his son. and, still with the airtof hugging to himself that mysterious jest, replied: Perhaps, my boy, he had an axe of his own to grind." CHAPTER 11. I A TROUBLOUS NIGHT. Will Carwardine, the newly-elected member for Grandport, after listening to the nothing much" which Owen Lipscombe had said to him. took a hasty farewell of his friends. excusing himself from accom- panying them to the headquarters whence his campaign liad been conducted. You go and celebrate the triumph, mates," he said. There's nothing more to do to-night but shout, and I must get home. My little one is sick, you know, and the wife's been alone with her all day. I'm a bit anxious. They recognised his claim, and with words of encouragement and sympathy let him go without orotest Running down the steps of the To>vn-hall, he dodged the mayor's car- riage, and strode off across the square into a network of mean streets that would take him to his house. This was situated not far from the waterside, within a stone's throw of the entrance gates of the Lipscombe yards. On giving up bis work there to become the paid secretary of the Amalgamated Riveters, he bad had neither the money nor the inclination to change his abode. He was a man of high aims and something of an idealist, this sturdy young fellow who had ousted the wealthy shipbuilder from the representation of his native town. The love of swaying vast multitudes to his own way of thinking-the iove of power, to be quite mndid-possesged him in every fibre of his being to the exclusion of other interests with more intimate, if lees lofty, claims. Not by any means that he was without his human side. He was not heartless so much as absorbed in what he intended to be his life'3 work. It had only needed Owen Lipscombe's rebuke, more implied than spoken, to send him hot-foot homewards from the scene of his triumph. Mr. Owen's a good sort, and be WM right to rajee his eyebrows when I couldn't tell him how Jenny was," he mur- mured as he taoed through the slums of Grandport. 'Tisn't that I didn't eare, God knows. But I ought to haw sent messengers, seeing that I couldn't go yaelf." -At- lae be turned into 6" broader read, and so a little further on game to a rQw of U. j "'f<I' "f- '3J' terrace houses facing the estuary of the river. There was a. street lamp opposite the centre of the row, and it showed him the figure of a woman at the door of one of the houses, straining her eyes up the road towards him. As he arrived within her vision she ran out to meet him and threw herself on his breast in an agony of weeping. Oh, Will, Will!" she moaned, "my baby, my little Jenny, is dead!" Eren at that moment, staggering under the shock of his loss, Carwardine winced. Her use of the word my" seemed like a reproach, all the more severe because so obviously unconscious. He put his strong arm round her and drew her into the hou&e, trying to soothe and ask questions in the same breath. Then, when he got her into the cramped little eit- ting-room, he gave up the hopeless task, and for a time the bereaved couple sat on the cheap horee-hair sofa together, mingling their tears. After a while they grew calmer, and bit by bit Carv/ariine learned from his wife the details of the domestic tragedy that had crowned his public triumph. The little two- year-old girl had been seized with convul- sions at four o'clock in the afternoon, and, though the doctor had been sent for and had dene what he could, the end had come three hours later. "She looks so sweet. Will," sobbed the dis- traught mother. Wouldn't you like to go up and see her? Treading softly up the narrow staircase, they entered the chamber of death, and stood one on each side of the waxen figure on the bed. Ca.rwardine stopped and kissed the dead child's brow, and as he rose two tears coursed down his cheeks. The sight of them seemed to act on his wife like some evil spell. She broke into peal after peal of horrid laughter. "It's so funny-so funny!" she shrieked. "The doctor wrestled for my darling's life like a hero. No one could have done more. And yet the moment the breath was out of that dear body lie looked across at me and says It's all over, and it's God's will, Mrs. Carwardine. I haven't recorded my vote for your husband yet, and I shall have to hurry up.' This cursed election! It's put first by eveT-yone--iii front of everything. If you'd been back at Lipscombe's, working for a wage, I don't believe this would have hap- peited-nol, like this, anyhow. I could have sent for you then, and you'd have been with me in my grief." Come away, dear," pleaded the man. No one is sorrier than me for the way this has fallen out. Sick and sorry as you are about the thing itself, I am, and in that jou'll believe m3. But there's the future to face. Let's go downstairs." The hyst-erical outbreak seemed to have re- lieved Beesio Carwardine for the moment, and slie quietly followed her husband down into the sitting-room. The window was open. for it was a hot night in May. Through it could be seen the lights of vessels anchored in the tidal river, and as they entered the room the clock at Lipscombe's ship-building yard bayed out the hour or haJf after mid- night. There was no air stirring outside, and from a,ar_off--from the more populous quarter of the town, where the excitement of the election had not died down—came the hum of distant voices. Round about this comparatively lonely waterside terrace all I was quiet, except mat ne so una oi someone running—of someone who must have just passed the house—was growing rapidly fainter as the footsteps receded. A cloth cap was lying on the table, and Carwariine vaguely wondered how it came there; for it was not his, and he was nearly sure that it had not been there when he and his wife went upstairs. It was no time, how- ever, to speculate about such an apparently unimportant tifle, and in an absent-minded way he took up the cap and tossed it into a, corner. The action was not entirely object- less, for he wanted a clear space on the spindly little table on which to spread his elbows with his head in his hands-a charac- teristic attitude of his when thinking deeply. Bessie was far too absorbed in her grief to have observed the incident of the cap, which, in the turmoil of succeeding days lay where her husband had thrown it all unheeded. She sank into a low cane chair by the empty grate, and stared with unseeing eyes through the open window at the lights on the river. A beautiful woman, little more than a girl, was the wife of the new member for Grandport. Despite the shabby black dress, which humble folk always seem able to produce at a moment's notice, she would have commanded attention anywhere, so alluring was her gracious personality. Tall and grandly formed, with a natural elegance just now accentuated by an unconscious pose of eorrow that made of her a very Niobe, no one would have suspected that Will Car- wrdine had wooed and won her from behind the counter of a small draper's shop. Her grey eyes were clear and steadfast at normal times, and her pure complexion was tinged with the hue of youth and health. The regular features were marked with a singular refinement, and the halo of ruddy-gold hair completed a picture of glorious womanhood rare in any class. Will raised his head presently, his voice breaking the silence sharply. He was so used of late to addressing vast audiences that he found a little difficulty in modulating it in the narrow confines of his parlour. I "I suppose we can manage the funeral by Thursday?" was what he said. Bes&ie looked up tit him blankly. She knew, none better, that for all the diffident half- note of deprecation in his tone, he would have his way. "The day after to-morrow!" she almost wailed. This is only Tuesday, Will. Have you forgotten such small things in your great triumph? Mayn't I keep the dear little dead thing no longer than two days-only just to love aind look at, Will, so that I can remem- ber her—you, too, if you care to-in the blank, empty years that are to oome?" "I shan't need to look at her to remember her," answered Carwardine, clearing his throat huskily. Then he paused, and went on, "If this hadn't have happened I should have started for London to-morrow morning, and taken my seat in the House the 6aime night. Even if the funeral is fixed for Thurs- day, I shan't, be able to be at Westminster before Friday." The woman's eyes, softly reminiscent with a great tenderness only a minute before. glinted hardly. The firm, white column of her throat swelled in a difficulty of utterance. "Westminster!" she repeated scornfully. "What do I care for Westminster, with ray balby lying dead upstairs. And you would shovel it under ground within three days of the breath being out of its body in order to go to Westminster! Hell is where you'll go to. Will Carwardine, for an unnatural father. What's Westminster, anyway?" Carwardine sighed a little wearily. "West- minster is where Parliament sits, dearie- where I've got to go willy nilly now that the good folk of Grandport have elected me. The party would be sorely disappointed if I wasn't there to represent them at the earliest moment. There's an important division, too, on Friday, when my vote may make all the difference." "Division?" said Bessie not understanding the jargon. "There's going to be sad division over this betwixt you and me, I reckon, seeing that you put the party before what most good men hold dear. It's been the party this and the party that for the last four weeks, till I'm sick of the very name of it-aye, and of you." Then did Will Carwardine, stiing by reproaches that conscience told him were not wholly merited, make a remark that Was to oost him dear. The mere making of it showed that however shrewd he might be in politics, however competent to lead masses of men, he had not mastered the first principles of leading that far more complex mechanism, a woman's heart. "Come, my dear one, you're being too hard on me," he said, kindly. "You'll feel less bitter when you trouble isn't quite so fresh. And in your new life in London there will be plenty of distractions to help Time, the healer, do his work." His wife looked at him, the angry scorn in her eyes giving way slowly to the dawn of a certain sly intelligence—an expression that had never been seen on that fair young loounten.ance before. Her husband was not looking at her or he might have been startled —and warned. It was as though she had obtained from his own words, a hint upon which she had formed a momentous resolve. How she would have answered him can never be known, for at that instant a patter of flying feet was heard outside, ceasing sud- denly as the lamp-light shone on Owen Lips- combe's aishen face framed in the open window. Carwardine? Ah. I thought you lived here," he gasped. "My father ba4 been shot in his private room at the yard- You know the neighbourhood. For God's sake, where is the nearest doctor?"

I Cardiff's Ex-M. P.  I ACTION BY LAND ACENT SETTLED At the Xisi Prius Court at Glamorgan Assizes to-day (before Mr. Jtistice Channel and a special jury) a case was in the list in which Mr. John Lewis Lambert, land agent, o,{ Bridgend, sued loird Asfoby St. Legecr-s (the Hen. Ivor Churchill Guest, former M.P. for Cardiff), of Rugby, for £ 1,543 for work and ¡ labour done and money paid, and for £ 1,000 damages for wrongful dismissal. Mr. J.

M.P., and Mr. Bankes j¡ (rnstruoted by Me.w;Joynson Hicks and Co., London), for t-he defendant. -After the opening of the court there was a delay of nearly an hour before the eafe started, and the rUlliourwent round that an attempt was being made in the judge's rcom to settle th equestion in dispute, which were of considerable importance and of great interest to landowners and land agents throughout the country. There was a; counterclaim by defendant. I When the Judge took his ,z,,at tt 11,30 ocbck Mr. Rankev expressed the thanks of the parties to his lordship for the opportu- nity he had give-n them, and the time had not been uselessly spent, for they had been I ab!e to arrive at a settlement which would obviate the necessity of his lordship and the jury trying the case. Thecbim. counter- claim. and the defcnoe were withdrawn, and the defendant had agTeed to pay a sum of money in discharge of the account against the estate for work done. Mr. F. E. Smith said that the defendant, Lord Ashby St. Legers, for whom he zi;p-peared, wished him to state that it was never his desire to make any charge against the com- petence or the integrity of the plaintiff, and he instructed him to say, on his b>haH, that he made no such charge there that day. He (Mr. Smith) assented to the statement made by his learned friend as to the terms of settlement. His Lordship said he knew nothing of the case himself, but ho was sure the parties had been well advised by the gentlemen who represented them. I

The Carbuncle Clue I BY FERGUS HUME 1-1 CHAPTER XXX. (AND LAST). THE OPINION OF OCTAVIUS RIXTON. Some months later Rixton called to see Crate abo^t a new case which he was now (investigating. The mystery of the Garry- street murder had been solved by the confes- sion of Murtcgh, alias Ward, alias Doolan, land the criminal had been duly punished ae by law provided. By the way," said Rixton, after he had given h;:i subordinate instructions regarding the new investiga-tion. "I had a letter from Mr. Conway this morning." "Him as married Mise Larrell, eir?" "Yes; they went to the Cape lor a trip after their marriage, and now Conway writes to say that they are returning." "Doolan wasn't taken out to Peru to stand his trial, sir?" "What did that matter, Crate? He would have been condemned to death out there for the murder of Tejada.; he was hanged here because he kW0d Bennett Never di?i eo richly deserve the rope." Rather ,1 sell for him, Mr. Fanke, wasn't it? I heard him say that night he confessed as how he hoped to escape from Duncan on .iro uuaca n may inanjs nis stars lie didn't have to take him back to Lima." And Madraszo may thank his sta.rs that Doolan didn't get a chance of escape. If he had got, away, I wouldn't have given a red cent for Madraszo's life." Well, I don't think I'd have cried my eyes out if Doolan had killed that cur," said Cra.te, grinning; he was a bad lot, for sure. But Mrs. Brynmaur paid him out proper." I rather think he turned the tables on her, Crate," said Rixton, drily. "If she re- fused to marry him, he .reduced her to poverty by telling Brynmaur's relatives that she was a bigamist. It served her right, and it served him right." "She went back to Lima, didn't she, Mr. Fanks?" She did. and after the manner of the wicked, she has flourished like a green bay tree." Rixton took Conway's latter out of hie pocket, and selecting a passage, read it out to Crate, in confirmation of the intelligence. "I met Jack Markham at Natal," he read, a fellow who chummed with me at Oxford. He has lately returned from South America, and, knowing the history of the carbuncle bangle, he gave me some news about Mrs. Brynmaur. She returned to Lima, it seems, resumed her maidon name, and ultimately married Don Juan Tejada. the brother of Don Filipe who was murdered. Don Juan got the memorandum from Duncan, and has found the silver mine spoken of by the oTd Indian. It turns out to be exceedingly rich, eo in a few years I expect Tejada, will be doutly a millionaire. So Mrs. Bennett is now Sonora Tejada, and has as much money as she wants. I don't envy her elderly husbajid; she will get rid of him sooner or later, and, no doubt, will then marry for the fourth time. I wish Don Juan Tejada. joy of his bride and his silvr mine." Does Mr. Conway say anything about Mad- raszo, sir?" He just mentions that the scamp is back again at the old business of card-sharping. No doubt he'll try and blackmail Senora Tejada when he's hard up. If he dom," said Rixton, grimly, "she won't hesitate at get- ting him murdered. A woman who could get her husband carried off by Indians won't stick at a trifle. Madraezo's a clever scoundrel, but he had better keep his weather eye open when he comes into con- tact with the late Mrs. Bennett, nee Mer- cedes YaJez." How did you suspect Doolan of the murder?" I Well, it's a long explanation," said Rix- ton, nursing his chin, and then proceeding to detail the deductions chronicled in the foregoing narrative. "I felt certain," he concluded, that Doolan was the culprit. But his J motive? I could not find that. Then Vun- can luckily came with his story of Ward and the lost memorandum. At first I did not con-nect Ward with Doolan. The information of the lost finger showed me that the two were one. I forced Madraszo to confess that Ward came to see him, as I guessed that Ward had brought the stick up to his rooms. The statement of Madraszo that Ward was dark accounted for the stain I had seen on Doolan's face. I guessed that the villain had disguised himself. The silver mine memoran- dum, the hunting of Ward by Bennett, showed that either greed or terror. had caused the crime. You see that I was right all through, although I admit, but for the accident of Duncan's coming to England in search of Ward, I might still have been groping in the dark. The long chain of coincidences has done more than I to discover the truth." I'm sure you are to be heartily congratu- lated, Mr. Fanks," said Crate, admiringly. It is wonderful how you put the thing together. You are just like the detective in story-books." Scarcely so omnipotent," returned Rixton, with a laugh. You see, Crate, in real life we cannot bend circumstances to our will. as novelists do in their stories. In real life, between the commission of a crime like this and the capture of a criminal, all is darkness, through which the detective has to grope his way without the smallest glim- mea- of light. You know how difficult it is to do that." Yes," said Crate, with a eigh, it is very difficult. I cam never eee the end of any case myself." "Neither can I," replied Rixton, quickly; I am as blind as you are. I do my best, but, you know, Oraite, I have ouen failed. I fail! I succeed! But, my dear Crn-te," added Rixton, resting his hand on the other's shoulder, in all cases, the greatest detective of all is—chance." There's one thing I don't quite under- stand, Mr. Rixton," said Crate, reflecting; you said -the whole mystery would be revealed by the carbuncle bangle. Well, it wasn't." I'm not so sure of that," replied Rixton. But for the carbuncle bangle I should never have known that Bennett was a mem- ber of the vigilance society hunting down Ward; and but that I found out about Ward I should never have found out who killed Bennett. Oh, 'yes. Crate, depend upon it, the mystery was disclosed by the carbuncle bangle." [THE END.]

To sugar fruits dip the fruit in the white of an egg well beaten, then roll it in fine Sifted sugar. When well covered, dry well in a stove, or before the fire. Can be made a week before a party. Take a fair-sized Scotch haddock, trim, and cut into four pieces. Put into boiling water and simmer for ten minutes. Then put a nicely poached egg on each piece,, a little butter, and pepper and salt. Serve very hot. Two ounces of flour, two ounces of butter, two ounces of grated cheese, one egg. salt. Make the above ingredients into a smooth paste, roll out, and cut into strips about 5in. long; bake in a, moderate oven to a light brown colour, and you have cheese straws. Currant and Raspberry Fool One pound of raspberriee. lib. of currants, 607.. of loaf sugar, quarter of a teacup of water, half pint of cream, castor sugar, and vanilla. Carefully pick over the fruit, put into an enamel pan with the water and sugar, and cook gently t.ill soft. Then rub through a hair sieve. Sco the pulp is sweet enough. and thin it down to the consistency of thick I cream with custard. Pour into a glass dish, and j list before serving whip the cream to a stiff froth, flan-otti- with sugar and vanilla. j Hp this roughly on the top of the fool, I and serve at oncf. Macaroons or sponge fingers a.re an excellent accompaniment to this delicioue, sweet. Fruit Salad .1 -1 prepare a syrup; boil half a pound of loaf sugar with a quarter of a pint of water for five minutes after it boils up. Stir it until it boils and skim it; add the juice of half a lemon. Arrauge the fruit. in layers in a salad-bowl or deep glass dish. Any fruit can be used. according to the season. In summer stoned cherries, currants plucked from the sterna, raspberries, and straw-berries can be utilised, all together or singly, or two kinds. Red currants go well with either of the above-named fruits. When there are no fresh fruits in season oranges peeled and sliood round, with the pips taken out, apples, pine- apple cut in dice. bananas sliced, apples sliced and cored, or any other tinned fruit. When the fruit is arranged in the bowl pour over it a glass of sherry or claret, and then pour the syrup over, and stir it about that the whole may be sweetened. Keep in a very 4 cold place until it is served. Some candied fruit and almonds, bleached and cut in long strips, cr a little desiccated cocoanut put over the top before serving improves "the appearance, but is optional, as is also the wine. When tinned fruit is used it must be turned out of the tin immediately it is opened, and it is safer to just boil it up in the juice, then take out the fruit to cool, and make the syrup for the salad with the tinned juice and sugar instead of water.
I Passing PleasantriesI
I Passing Pleasantries Hobbs: I think the lift ia out of order. What is that notice pasted on the door? Dobbs: The lift man must be a bit of a wag. It says, Please pardon me for not rising!" "Well. what, is your favourite song?" 1 My favourite sang is Somewhere the Sun is Shining.' It always reminds me of my dear son who left me years ago, and, you see, he's a poor shoeblack!" I must warn you dearest," said a suitor, that after we are married you will very likely find me inclined to be arbitrary and dictatorial in my manner." No matter," replied the young lady cheer- fully: I won't pay the slightest attention to what you eay!" Standing at the entrance of a large house in the suburbs of Glasgow are two huge dogs carved out of granite- An Englishman, pass- ing in a hired carriage, thought he would have some fun with his Scotch driver. How often, Jock, do they feed those two big dogs?" W, henever they bar, eir!" was the reply. A draper's assistant was showing a lady some umbrellas.

No nonsense about that umbrella, is there?" he said. as he handed it over to the lady. Yes," re.marked the customer; "that's my old one-I just laid it down there." exclaimed the young man. Well, say! he's about the meanest ever. What do you think he did?" Of course they gave it Up. Well, sir," he explained, "they have one cf the nicest little secluded porches you ever saw, and Tessie and I uged to Sit over in the shadoW«st corner* of it nearly every evening." "And he forbade it?" they suggested in- quiringly. Worse than that," he replied. "How could it be worse than that?" they asked. He put a coat of luminous paint on it," be answered, and of course nothing remained but to vote him the Prize for the best hard luck story of the session.
jCARDIFF EMPIREI
CARDIFF EMPIRE I Cardiff Empire was crowded on Monday night by an audience anxious to hear George Ijashwood, the Beau Brummel of the vaudeville stage, fresh from his all-conquer- ing tour of the United States. Mr. Lashwood is among the most esteemed of the variety stage artistes who visit Cardiff. Last night bis appearanoe was as quaint as ever, and the clear enunciation of every weird was fully appreciated as of yore. His spruce appearance in evening dress revealed him not a day older. If anything, he was younger and livetier than ever, and his first song, Just for a girl," only served to whet the appetite of the delighted house for more. As the gay, jovial man about town from Dublin he was equally appreciated, and it is to be expected that Patrick John O'Hare" (an entirely new song) will be heard in the streets of the city for a long time, to come. If possible he excelled himself in his third appearance, when he sung of the delights to be experienced at Penarth and elsewhere on a moonlight midsummer's night." His last turn was entirely original, and as a railway guard he provided lots of fun, with a final soenic effect, in which he was seen in his guard's van in a moving train. Alice Kingsley proved a pleasing corotralto TocailiiSt-. The Little Stowaway" a, sketch of unusual interest, earned the unstinted applause of a more than gratified house. Johnny Tuller, of Dick Whittington" pan- tomime fame, was one. of the moat popular turns of the evening. U« £ »i Aibbon, the well- known war artist, d i-I dexceeddngly well in his musical sketching, and Daisy Marten, an accomplished comedienne, fully earned t-be plaudits showered upon her. Joctk vfhitte- ford, ithe smart Scot, pleased all with his acceptable performance. Will Johnson has well earned his title of the popular comedian. The moving pictures completed an unoom- manly good programme.

Police Seize 114,000 I 500 PEOPLE PLAYING BACCARAT There is great excitement in Ostend over a raid made in the rooms of the Ostend literary Society," at the Kursa.al. The raid was made by the Ghent magis- traces, eupported by a strong foTce of deteo tives and police in plain clothes. They entered the club rooms at half-past ten o'clock by a side doer and forcibly pre- vented the porter from giving the alarm. Same 500 men and women. were playing baccarat at the moment. They included many distinguished German, French. Kngljwh, and American visitors. A wild soene fol- lowed. r The police seized the stakes, amounting to about £ 14,000, the players meanwhile vehe- mently protesting against the intrusion and shouting, "Thieves!" Some of the men chal- lenged the magistrates for remaining covered in the presence of ladies. One Englishman asserted his right to put his money anywhere he liked." Another gambler snatched a bundle of bank-notes from a policeman. Several tried to break open the locked door and knocked down a policeman who was guarding it. The local tradesmen and hotelkeepers are furious, saying that soic-h episodes will "ruin Ostend." .The raid was due. to a peremptory order from the Minister of Justice.
I STOLL'S PANOPTICON
I STOLL'S PANOPTICON At Stoll's Panopticon, Cardiff, this week an unusually fine set of pictures is displayed, and on Monday night the crowded house was delighted. At the top of the bill is "The Call of the Heart," a drarae that gets a hold and keeps it. The picture is full of child interest, which alw ays appeals to the human heart. A most remarkable picture is "Over Silent Paths," a story cf the Ameri- can desert. FTom Sunshine to Shadow," is a departure from the trodden paths of conventionality, and 1111 exemplifica- tion of the whole-souled generosity practised by men and women of the stage. Competitions between Japanese firemen in Tokio provide a series of surprising evolu- tions, and, showing as the picture does, some of the civilised methods our Eastern allies, ha.8 quite an educative effect. An Awkward Reerllit." and "The Chantecler Hat" are two amusing and laughable productions, and "Absent-Minded Max" is another comic absurdity. Mr. Nix at the Mardi Or as fete in Pari6 is a humorous story with a good moral. It is worth mentioning that this is the last week's appearance of the Merrill Family of musical schoolgirls, under the direction of Mr. Jack Merrill. Miss Olwen Williams proves herself a capable eopranq, j-vocalist, and an attractive comedy picture acn, i-tingle Town," is sung by Mr. Jamets Hope. Other subjects are shown on the bioscope, and there are musical aooompam- imente by Mise Hetty Hocking.

I I I A WOMAN'S TERRIBLE STRUGGLE Despite, the pathoe of a 6tory told to the Enfield magistrates when Lizzie Penfold, ag-i 41, was charged with stealing articles fromi] laundries at which she had been employed, it did not appear to awaken a very respon- sive feeling in the hearts of the magistrates. Inspector Twigg -aid the prisoner's son, aged 22, is dying of consumption, and is not expected to the a week. It was to provide for him that the woman stole. "Speaking, as an ordinary individual," the inspector added, "and not as a police-officer. I do not know to what extent I would have gone had I been in the prisoner's place." So touched was one of the prosecutors that he withdrew from the case. "The woman has had a terrible struggle for the sake of her son," eaid the viea,r of St. Luke's, Enfield. Nevertheless, she was fined £ 5, or a month's imprisonment in default.

There axe old as well as new friends. Tom Costello and Florrie Gallimore are ever welcome. Tom Costello has some new songs on this tour which are amonget his greatest successes. Florrie Gallimore also has several fresh songs. Ririaldo, the wandering violinist, from the London Hippodrome, is one of the most accomplished artistes Newport patrons have had the privilege of listening to. His complete mastery of the strings and his tender patho6 are complete. The famous Oarmos, Beaty and Blanche, Bert Harrow, Tom and Marie Motramo, and the Bathe Animated Gazette are also on the bill.
"POKER, NOT A HAMMER" )
"POKER, NOT A HAMMER" Edward John Llewellyn (22) told the Cardiff magistrates that he would "sooner be tried to-day." but it was decried otherwise. The charge preferred was serious, viz., wounding his father, John Llewellyn, by striking him on the bead with a hammer with intent at 152. Cairnt3-,street,. on July 25. Police-sergeant Sidney Lathom arrested prisoner, who, on being charged, said, "It was a poker, and not a hammer." Witness produced a hammer. Inspector Bingham applied for a remand until Thursday. which was granted. J
