ShGl repeated what Austeu had said to that effect, and stated tfrarf. as she slept in an attic at the top of the house. she could not easily hear wftat wynt on downstairs.

It only tie ssgit of AtHstea, with his ryee full cf love, pity, and upon her, which recalled Delicia to the (reality of the scene. Tbe aUence was so deep that the prwerbial pan-drop could been heard when the forem an of the jtETy retoarned a >w*Kct of "T^ot guilty!" fba-ok Heave»!" Austen leant fo.rwa.rd Anti oovere.1 h-ia f Me with his bamds. He felt a curious sensatkm of exhaustion now that the ettspenso was over. Delicia leant heavily an the raål, her breath eoMnng in short, quick ,g<»np8, then ehe fell to the ground in a. dead- faint. ft seemed as though the trottbie arising from tihe mysterious arwi tragic death of Snaon Hol«>worttih would never end. Delicia wa* safely settled at the vicarage with the Merediths {who had never once doubted her innceen oe) when the news oaonie that A usten Riwrs was a<rreatied on the charge for which Dslkia had stood her triail. The kindly old Vicar broke the terriblet.idi.¡¡,gs to Deiioia. "The police are getting in a muddle over the affajr," he aaid. "They will be arresting me next. Never you fear. Kiss Deiicm, Jt;sepha win get him acquitted 'without a stain on hi-s Deiicia sa,t with her hands clenched to- gether on her la.p. Yes, Aasten khoiald be skved, thoagsh to emev^ him sfoe confessed to the crime, a.ad perjwed her own For she knew—ate! poor little Delicia!—that Austen was sfaitty. Every event of that Attal night was staanped i her mind. The finding' of the kitchen wiadow already open, when she erept dourest-airs to metko her escaj>e; then •a few yards from- the house, as fôhe hurried toivards the vicarage, saw Austein Rivers. The light from a street Jamp feU on his face, and she noticed1 that his eyes were wide open, staring before him with the unseeing gaze of a sleep-walker. Deiicia watched him turn down the side street where he lived, and him enter bÏ6 house with a la.t.eb-key. Deiicia, remembered Austen had told her upon two occasions that ho had 1"i8M> in his sleea>. dressed, let himself out of the house, and gone to his office, where he finished some work which had been weighing on bis mind. He knew nothing of it until the nest morning, when, going down as usual, be was amazed to find the deeds drawn up JUtd oowipteted in his own handwriting. **3t really is extraordinary." Aui»teu said. I remember that deed bothered me a good bat. as it turned out. I never drew up a neater document. I hope I shan't commit & murder or a burglary in my sleep, though I believe I should if my mind were previously impressed with the idea." Dtelacia, ireoalled Austen's jesti rvcj words, wtien their import bore a deep significance, Rod ehe connected the fact of the open. w*»diD<w his preeeoee near the hoase. Before the ma-giatrates. where Austen pro- tested his innoceiKse, Mrs. Wheble. his house- keeper, was called as a witness for the prose- cution. Yes. she remembered his coming home on the Thursday night' about ten ootook. He seemed very worried and unhappy, but sat, up tiM 11.30, doing law work. Between one and two in the morning she heard the front tloor softly opened. She went out on the landing, and saw her master taking his hat and coat off in the hall. No. he did not see her; and she did not say anything, not liking him to think his movements were spied upon. Nothing wns said about it the next morning. "Hie very reluctance with which she gave her evidence seemed to strengthen it. Then DeJioia was called, to prove how Auafcemi had told her of hiS sleep-wiaiking expedition*. shtt wtus the only one he had informed. and, somehow, the defence seemed pitiably ■weak. Realising this, Delicia stretched out her bands with a little qry: 'They shall believe you, Austen: they must' It is I who aim gruilty!" Hien for the second time in her life Deliora faknted, which was the prelude to a sudden attack of brain fever, and for days her life kung in the balance.

The Legislative Assembly to-day rejected, by 40 votes against 25, the motion proposed by Mr. JT'Ckwein, on behalf of the Labour party, for a vote of censure on the Govern- ment, on the ground that the proposed action to meet the industrial trouble was absolutely inadequate to public requirements. Mr. Hughes. the president of the Water- side Workers' Federation, declared in the course of an,interview 'that the Government's decision to ilitervene in the mining strike was belated, and was, moreover, of a, futile and partisan character. Mr. Bowling, the president of the Minera' Federation, said that any intimidation on the part of the Government would leave him unmoved, and he would continue the fight.

I- - Cocoa and SlaveryI
I- Cocoa and Slavery POINTED QUESTIONS ASKED MR I CADBURY. The' hearing of Messrs. Cadbury's libel action agiain.snt the Sttainlard Newspaper (Limited) was resumed at Birmingham on Wednesday. I Mr. W. A. Cad bury said ill 1907, on behalf I of the English cocoa manufacturers, he met a I oom;m,ittee. of the proprietors of the estates of San T'home and Principe. To this oamimittee he said their consciences would not allow ¡ hie firm to go on purchasing raiw material ■urn Ices assured that in future it was produced by free labour. When the Portuguese Ministry was changed, following the assassination of the King, he was informed that a Commission was going to the islands, and Sir Frederick Villiers, of the British Legation, said he had no doubt the new Portuguese Government meant to carry out the intentions of their predecessors. Wit. n8SS said early this year tho plaintiffs tried to get ail the cocoa, firms to refuse to buy San Thome and Principe cocoa. In October c-f last year he visited the territory, and was satisfied there had been no radical improvement. On his return the plaintiffs took steps to stop the purchase of San Thome cocoa. The last purchase was in October, 1908. There was no truth in the allegation that the plaintiffs had been pur- porting to take wteps, but bad not been acting sincerely. Cross-examined by Sir E. Carson, Mr. Cad bury said it was a fact, that San Thome cocoa had been slave-grown to his own knowledge for eight years. I The cocoa you were buying was procured I by the atrocious mefhod" of slavery?—Yes. ) Witness said the men, women, and children were taken away from their homes, possibly againot their will, and marched various distances. Ho believed they were shackled at nJght. He did not consider the accommodation 0 n the best estates at all bad. Sir Edward Caraon: Knowing siavery was atrocious you took the main portion of your cocoa, from these islands?—Yes. IV-r some years you did not look upon it as anything immoral?—Not under the cir- ■eufnstances Witness swore tho plaintiffs were not anxious to keep from toho public knowledge oOf the conditions of slavery, and denied it was from fear the consumer would boycott the firm that they were anxious not to have the matter made publk. If the public bad known it might have been detrimental to the plaintiffs. Witness denied t,he allegations that the action t,hey took to improve the labour con- ditions was taken for the purpose of prevent- ing attack on their character 80S philan- tliropists, to lessen public commeut, or to postpone the final decision as to the non- puTchase of cocoa from San Thome. They aoted in all sincerity, and honestly thought I no cither steps could wisely have been taken to meet the existing evils. In cross-examination by Sir Edward Carson, witness said the ca-ritit of Oadbury Brcs. was £ 2,000,000, but it was an unfair impnt-at-ioii to- FEtv th,,it 'Hf was partly a philanthropic concern. His imole, Mr. George] wai part proprietor of the "Dajly 1 [ New," but witness had no iuterest in that paper. Witness added that when he first had reliable particular* of affairs in the islapds lie thought it his personal duty to follow uLp. the matter hinkelf. The mortality among' the natives made him vea-kjee that the matter j would not brook delay. The hearing was again adjourned. j

BORDER SCHOOL CASES.! + I DECISION OF LLANELLY MAGISTRATES. ■■ ■■ DESIRE FOR AN AMICABLE ARRANGEMENT. The decision of the Llaneliy justices in respect of the seven summonses issued by the county education authority against the j parents of the border children was given in court on Wednesday. Mr. Henry Wil-kins, who presided, having expressed regret t'hat 110 arrangement had been effected, said the litigation had caused a good deal of feeling, aud much sympathy was very properly felt for the unfortunate children, who. through no fault of their own, had now for a. considerable time been deprived of the advantages of education. In the cases of Samuel Thomas. Cold Blow, and Samuel Bonnell, Penrhyn, these defendants lived within the statutory distances of the Pwll Council School, where on the 19th of May last, the date of the alleged offence, there was, according to the standard of the Board of Education then in force, sufficient accommodation for their children. They had, thea-efore, no alternative but to can- vict. and imposed a fine of 3s. 6d., inclusive of costs. The school which the ■proseowthtg authority alleged that the children of Benjamin Phillips, Old Factory, and David Evans, Cwmhach Ledge, should attend was the Pwll Council School. In the opinion of the Board of Education, set out in their letter of the j 28th of September, that school could not be regarded as available for such children. They, therefore .dismissed the oases. Isaac Evans, Stradey-road, lived W, the Furnace, and in the opinion of the Board of Education it would, for the reason set out in 1 the Commris<ioner's report, be a hardship— a considerable hardship—for the education 1 authority to require the children resident there to iattend tho Felinfool School. They, therefore, dismissed the case. With regard to the cases of John William., Tyi = sa Farm, Pentrepoeth, and Thomas Phillips [131; Pent re poet h, these defendants lived within 1,290 yards and 1,483. yards I respectively of the Felinfoel Council School. They found that on the date of the alleged jofftiice there was sufficient accommodation i for thcse children at the FelinfoeL Council &-hoo1. In view of the circumstances, and II cf the fact that these cases were âm¿what in the nature of test cases. they would only impose a, nominal penalty of Zs. 6d., inclu-1 sive of costs. It appeared from the evidence given before them that there were a nui?ber of children who could not be required to attend the exiting county ?cho?Ls. They tl ted t Bat, even if the county education uthority ?iiit*iided to build further accommodation, they would carry out without delay the urgent recommendation of the Board of Education to come to ah arrangement with the adjoining authority—the Llaneliy Urban Authority—for such time as must elapse before the additional accommodation could be provided. And they wanted it to be clearly understood that in making this suggestion they did not seek in the slightest degree to dictate to the county authority. but made it solely in the interests of the children, Mr. D. R. Edmunds, who represented the parents, applied for costs in the cases which the bench had deoided to dismiss. The struggle had been a very long and hard one. The Chairman said they had decided not to allow any costs on either side. Mr. Brodie (the clerk): The penalties are inclusive Olr costs.

The Englishmen played twelve men, Buckenham aiwl Strudwick standing down from the side.

Having won tihe toss the Englishmen hatted first, and when stumps were drawn their total stood at 320 for seven wickets. Hobbs, who opened the innings with Rhodes, gave a most finished all-round display, his cutting and driving being especially good. He was fourth man out, and among his hits were a six and sixteen fours. Thompson played very care- fully, his innings of 49 occupying an hour and forty minutes, but Bird hit vigorously, and compiled his 67 in 65 mintues, chiefly by forceful driving. Scores: — M.C.C.

Despite several changes, two very good teams turned out, the Newport players especially showing com- mendable loyalty, no fewer than eleven mem- ber- of the first fifteen appearing in the i arena, whilst only two players ftom Swansea took part. There was not a, very large crowd I present when the players lined up in the I following otder:- Whites: fiaok, W. Haley (Pill Harriers); II three-quai'tei- backs, J. H. Evans (Pontypool), Frank Rees (Neath), A. M. Baker (Newport), ami H. T. Maddocks (London Welsh); he-ii- baoks, T. H. Vile and W. J. Martin (New- port) forwards, T. C. Lloyd (Neath). E. Thomas, P. D.

Stripes: Back, .Stanley Williams (Newport); three-quarter backs, W Arnold (Llaneliy), F W. Birt (Newport), Phil Hopkins (Swansea), and J. L. Williams (Cardiff): half-backs. Cietn. Lewis (Bridgend) and S. Proeser (Ponty- pool): forwards, P. Coklrick (Newport), A. K. Evans (London Welsh), J. Pugsley (Cardiff). H. Jarm-an (Newport), J. Marsh (Llaneliy), Brookanan (Cardiff), Ben Da vies (Swansea), and R. Edwards (Newport). Referee, Mr. E. Roberta. Llaneliy. The teams seemed equally matched in weight, but the Whites showed the cleverer football at the outset a.nd set up a brief attack, which was soon repulsed hy Clem Lewis and PugBley, both of whom displayed excelloTit form. A couple of nice chances were givem J. L. Williams by Clem. Lewis, but the Cardiff capttuui was well marked by Mad- docks, and was held oil each occasion. A great dribble by the Stripes' forwards led to a desperate attack on the Whites' Line. in to goal Okm. Lewis picked up quickly and passed to one o,r his forwards. The latter .slung the ball cut to J. L. Williams, who gathered grajirily and threw to Willie Arnold, who had come across from his own side of the field amd got on the outside of Williams on the left, wing. The lAanellyite took his pass splendidly, and although con- fronted by considerable opposition, dashed across in the earner. Stanley Williams failed at goal. Unfortunately, Arnold was injured in falling over the Line, Gronow's knee coming in contact with his nose. and had to lea,va the field. Just after Bi:rt dropped a. pretty goal for the bt.rip.ee, who wfere now seven points IIp. Brookman went out on the wing for Arnold. The Stripes were penalised, and Haley kicked a great goal from near t.he touch-ldne. Baker missed a certain try by failing to hold a pass from Frank Rees, a-tia then Maddocks made a fine swerving three or fo.,uir men be r-Lin, After beating three or four men he I was splendidly tackled near t.he line by J. L. Williams, who also held Phil Waller, to whom Maddocks passed. W. Bowen, Aber- tilery, was sent out from the pavilion to take the place of Arnold. Tn tbe second half the Stripes had the wind in their favour, a.nd did all the attacking in the first quar- ter of an hour. Clem. Lewis, Prosser, J. L. Williarms, Birt. and Eowen executed good passing, but the final transfer was forward. Pugsley made a great burst for the Stripes, but Birt failed to hold his pass when the defence was beaten. All the play continued to be fought out in the Whites' half, a.nd Ph-il Hopkins nearly scored after a smart run. Good passing by the Stripes' backs loo-ked likely to be productive, but a repass from J. L. Williams was given for- ward. For their perstistent attack the Stripes were at last rewarded. There was a serum on the line, and plucky little Clem. Lewis, gathering the ball when it came out on his <ide, ahnt over with a thoroughly deserved =ide. which Stanley Williams converted. try, COMMENTS. I The fact that the Stripes (or Possibles) so easily beat the Whites (or Probables) is a safe indication that there is genuine talent at the disposal of the Welsh Union t.his season. There were two outstanding fea- tures of the ga-rc--t)ie predominance of the I Stripes' forwards, and the really remarkabie dispTay r>y Clem. lewis at inside half. In l popular parlance. Lewis was "all over" Vile, and the Bi-idgend man is good enough to represent Wales any day. The difficulty is to And an outside half to play with him On Wednesday's play Mad- docks anu J. Ia Williams were the best of the wing three-ouarters, and Birt and Phil Hopkins of the Stripes were sounder centres than J. H. Evans and Frank Rees of the Whites. Both full-backs were distinctly good. From the sixteen forwards I'en out a thoroughly good Welsh pack con id be selected. The cleverest exhiMtdon of forward work in the two eights was given by J. Pugsley, who?e display may rightly be described as classy. Edwards, Jarma.n, and CoMriok, Newport, were a fhie trio, and Brookman was con- ?st?a,ntly prominent in the open. P. D. Waller was the best of the Whites' eight, with C. M. Pritchard, E. Thomas, Gronow. and Rees Thomas the most capable of the others. Only in line-out work were the Whites' pack superior. Tn heeling and dribbling they were quite e-utclas'sed.: Wales will yet put a good combination in the field. It may be addeit that the official list of teams supplied to the press before the match contained a serious CTror, as "Shon Evans, of Neath, was given as the inside half of the Stripes, whereas the actual player was Clem. Lewis, of Bridgend, who us-nally plavs at outside half. All the representatives of the evening papers wtt' thus misled qs to the identity of a player who performed exceedingly well. # j
ISHERBODRNE SCHOOL WIN I
I SHERBODRNE SCHOOL WIN I SPLENDID DEFENCE BY THE I WELSH COLLEGIANS. G. T. P'ts. I Sherbourne 0 2 6 0 0 0 Llandovery College 0 0 0 Sherbourne School won the annual match with Llandovery College at the Sophia Gardens, Cardiff, on Wednesday. Winning the toss, Llandovery played with a strong wind behind them and attacked strongly in the early stages. Morgan ran finely, but was well tackled by Tuke when all but over, and Beckton touched down after a forward rush by the Llandoverians. The Llandoveri-ans continued to have the bettor of the game, although the Sherbourne boys were muich the heavier, especially in the forward line. Can- and Palmer baved their line well a.t times, and good kicking 07 Tuke relieved the pressure. Just before half- t-ime the Sherbourne forwards carried pi.47 to the Llandovery 26, where a nice passing movement saw Palmer go over in a, favour- able position. Simey took the kick, but Lt went inches wide. At the interval the I visitors led by three points. Favoured with the wind, Sherbourne imme- diately assumed the aggressive on the re- sumption, and some sterling forward work yaw the ball carried over the Llandovery lime, but Lloyd Williams saved a score by kicking dead. Carr, Simey, and Palmer, fed well by their halves, made several fine attempts to increase the r-COTe, but the defence of the Welshmen was splendid, Humphreys in particular doing good work. He showed great pluck in diving for the ball at the feet of the forwards, and his judicious touch-fl-nding brought relief on several occasions. After Beoton had failed to take an awkward transfer from Palmer when the defence was beaten, Gullick threw to Simey on the other wing, and he dashed over in the corner. From now till the call of time play favoured Sherbourne, but they failed to add to their score. Teams: Llandovery College: Back, W. Llovd Wil- liams; three-quarter backs, H. O. W illia m a, 1.

Mr. W. Sage referee'd, and both sides were strongly represented. Playing down the gradient on a treacherous ground, the Island practically monopolised the first half, but the Albion defence was only penetrated t.wice, M'Quade scoring a clever goal, while Barfitt got through rather luckily. With the second half bnt five minutes' old Griffiths reduced the lead, and Price followed suit with a crashing shot under the bar.

A BRISTOL CHANNEL'I COLLISION.I…
A BRISTOL CHANNEL 'I COLLISION. I SURVIVOR'S NARRATIVE IN THE HIGH COURT. In the Admiralty Division on Wednesday, before the President (Sir John Bigham), sit- ting with Trinity Masters, the case of Wil- liams and Others v. the Owners of the steam- ship Pictoui came on for. hearing. The plaintiffs, Mr. William J. Williams, of Lowestoft, the owner of the fishing smack Westward Ro, and the two survivors of her crew broughc the action to recover damages arising out. of a collision between that vessel a.nd the Cardiff steamship Picton, belonging to the Picton Steamship Company (Limited) of Cardiff. The casualty occurred in the Bristol Channel, off Trevose Head, at about mid- night on April 16 last. The smack sank almost immediately, and of her crew of five hands only two were saved. The smack, of 59 tons register, at the time was in the course of a trawl fishing voyage, which she was prosecuting out of Padstow, while the steamer, of 5,063 tons gross register, was bound from Cardiff to Venice, laden with 7,500 tons of coal. The plaintiffs' case was that a bad look-out was kept on board the Picton; that she improperly failed to keep clear of the smack, and attempted to cross ahead of that vessel; that her .engines were not reversed in due time; and that she failed to indicate her. manoeuvres by the appro- priate use of any sound signals. The defendants, who counter-claimed in respect of damage done to their vessel, denied negligence. Their case was that a good look- out was not kept on the Westward Ho; that she neglected to keep her course and speed; and that those on board improperly failed to keep her under control as the Picton approached, or, in the alternative, improperly and at an improper time so manoeuvred as to bring her the bows of the Pioton. Further, the defendants alleged that the Westward Ho neglected to exhibit the regula- tion lights for a vessel under way when she ceased to be engaged in trawling. Alterna- tively, they said the smack faile3 to carry the regulation lights for a vessel engaged in trawling, and failed, on the approach of the Picton to obow-a flare-up or white light in sufficient time to prevent a collision, or otherwise to give the steamer warning. Mr. B. Aspinall, K.C., and Mr. H. C. S. Dumas appeared for the plaintiffs, and Mr. F. Laing, K.C., and Mr. D. Stephens for the defendants. Robert Lincoln, second hand of the West- ward Ho, said that the master was amongst those drowned. The Westward Ho, at about 11.15 p.m. on the day in question was engaged in trawling, with her trawl down on the port side, and she was exhibiting the regulation trawling light—a white light at the masthead—for a vessel so engaged. The trawling gear came in contact with some obstruction, and the skipper gave orders to haul in the trawl. The foresail was let go and the jib-sheet hauled in, and the vessel was brought to practically a standstill. The side lights were on deck ready to be placed in position, directly the trawl was got in. The first witness saw of the Picton were her two masthead and the green lights, distant about two to three miles, and on the star- board quarter. Those on the smack continued to haul in their gear, and when the "cod end" (the place where the fish are) was just awash the Westward Ho swung to port. Some time afterwards witness noticed that the Picton was heading straight for his vessel, and the skipper thereupon showed a flare-up light. At the same time the tiller, which was lashed a little to port, was cast clear and hard a ported. Mr. Aspinall: Did that have any effect on your heading?—No The President: Then why did you port?— Well, we thought we ought to do Something, and that was about the only thing we could do. Witness, continuing, said that the Picton, going at a high speed, then struck the West- ward Ho about midships, cutting right into her. Mr. A spin all: Which way did the Picton go off after the collision?—I do not know, I was too busy saving my life. The stridek went down almost at onoe. What happened to yon?-I caught hold of the tiller, and looked up to the steamer, expecting to see them looking over the side, but I could see nobody. They threw no ropes over the side, so we could not climb up on to her, and we got no answer to our shonts. How were yoneaved ?- I saw that there was only one chance for me, and that was to get hold of the lifebuoy if no one else had got it. Iran along the ship, found the lifebuoy, and, seeing that I must keep clear of the sinking ship, I jumped overboard, first taking off one of my boots. It was lucky you were saved?—Yes, it was a mi rattle. How long were you in the water?—Only a few minutes. I was picked up by a. boat from the Picton. Did you see any lifelines hanging over the steamer's side?—No. Mr. Laing: There is no charge of any negli. gence in this respect.. Mr. Aspinall: No, that is so; but this wit- ness wanted to tell his story. j The hearing was adjourned, J

I A U 10- V i V 1 iUiN. DO YOU DELIBERATELY TORTURE YOURSELF ALIVE BY NEGLECTING YOUR STOMACH ? REMEDY FREE for the ASKING. A great outcry has arisen during the last few years against scientists who torture dumb animals alive in the interests of science. How many people are there, however, whe needlessly torture themselves by causing their stomachs to overwork Indigestion, dyspepsia, heartbara, sleeplessness, loss 04 "im and energy are the inevitable result. Are you one of these ? Why net give year stomach a rest ? Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets will relieve your stomach of all its work aad do it for you. They are compounded of the very best elements and do the work which the stoiaach performs when in aorroal health—aseptic pepsin, malt diastase and like ingredients. A doctor, in writing a thesis on treatment of indigestion, closes his remarks by saying-. For those suffering from aciel dyspepsia, shown by sour, watery risings; or for flatotest dyspepsia, shown by gas on stomach, causing heart trouble aOO difficult breathing, as well as for aH other forms of stomach troobie, the safest treatment is to take <»ae or twe of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets after each mml. I advise them because they contain no harm. ful drugs, but are com-posed of valuable digestives which act promptly upon the food eaten. I never knew a case of indigestion or even chrome dyspepsia which Stuart's Tablets would not reach." Cheap cathartic medicines claiming to cure indigestion can have no effect whatever in actively digesting the food, and to call any cathartic medicine a cure for indigestion is a misnomer. Every chemist can supply Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, and they are not only the safest and most successful, but the most scientific of any treatment for indigestion and stomach troubles.
