TO-DAY'S SHORT STORY.] Milly's Message. -0 I [ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.] I Howell House was a highly respectable academy for highly respectable young gentle- men; its terms were moderate, its pupils many, and its situation magnificent. One fine summer afternoon two of the young gentlemen before referred to strolled arm-in-arm through the little Iron gate of the playing ground and took the direction of the woods by the river. They were laughing and chattering gaily; evidently neither to Dick Greville nor his companion. Arthur Cecil, had the world many or any tribulations. "I say, Dick." said Cecil, suddenly, "Don't you think Milly Darrell a jolly girl and a pretty? I do, from what I've seen and heard Df her." "So do I." said Dick, quietly. "How do you know, Dick? Observation or Acquaintance?" "Pooh! Do you tbmk I don't know h'1 MJHy and I are Sn? chnme, I can tell you. She's a rmul&r brick of a girl, a.nd I asked her a question om-ce, but she only laughed and said she didn't like'to be hampered." Arthur looked at his companion serutini- Bingly. Dick was a tall, plain-looking la/i of sixteen; he looked colouriews and unattrac- tive in his not too well-made clothes against She handsome face and form of well-dreeaed Axt-hur Cecil. "I gay. Dick, introduce me to her, will you, old boy?" It i cio. Art, you must prom:se me never I to attempt to eat me out. She's mine, you I know-or almost mine—and I don't want to lcm-e my chance. I know she likes me a lot." Arthur laughed. "That's all right," he ttaid, lightly, "will you do it?" The two had reached the woods by now, Vkn-I had halted on the edge of the stream. "Will you promise?" repeated Dick, whose lace wan pet in nasty, Ttraight lines. "Xo, I'm banged if I will," Cecil replied, laiisthirag. "I refuse on principle, Dick. If you're so cocksure of her you'd never fear m2e or anyone else." "I want your psromiaev all the same, Arthur. tt is the only condition, and I know you ronld keep it." "011, yes, if I agreed to it," said Cecil, iipging a. stone onnt across the water and ausing it to ricochet five times along the urface ere it sank. "Then you won't agree?" "NoY "Then I won't introduce yoa!" "I'll do it myself, thank you." said the Other lightly, tiiwwirig hamself down on the yielding grass and looking up at this friend. "I dont think it will be hard to do that." "Do yon mean it, Arthur?" "Of couse. I—why Dick, what's the matter? "What are you looking so wild about, man? Surely, I am qirae at liberty in this matter? She is free, and fair game, and-" "Fair game! Don't insult her! She's the dearest Idttte girl in all Christendom, and I won't have her disrespected even by you, my friend. Ajthur Cecil." "Dickie, boy, yoa are warm. Ah! yon were always romantic. Look here, I've hitherto taken you to be the most sensible inmate of Howell House. You're a heap more sensible than I; and that's a concession, if you like, but I'm beginning to doubt the correctness of that impression." "You can doubt as much as you jolly well please, but you shan't i rasa It her," saiddieli, doggedly, turning Cecil laughed at his friend's petulance. "You're hard hit. old hoy," he sang out from the ground. "And you're very touchy over it." "Once mo-re, and for the last time," cried Greville, turning suddenly and glaring down at his Laughing chum, "Are you going to ita-ve me-and her—atone?" "I dont think so," drawled the prostrate youth, "why should I?" "Then you're a oad, and a coward, and no friend of mine Cecil jumped to his feet with a bound and faced his friend. All the laughter was gone from Arthur's face; they were both white aDd trembling. For an instant there was silence, and then Cecil spoke. "Will you take it back, Dick?" -N,o. why should I?" Greville answered re- peating the other's words. "I say it again, Arthur Cecil—there, is no manhood in you. You're a false friend, a hypocrite, and a coward!" Cecil said no word; he slowly unbuttoned his coat while he kept his eyes on Greville, who, in an instant, as he perceived the other's action and gnessed its intent, had filing off his garment, and etood, hands I taased and ready. Don't be silly," said Dick, .gruffly. He rolled up the sleeves of his shirt. "Fool!" snorted Dick. "Don't can me thaltv* You're the fool for bringing on yourself a jolly good hiding." Dick had clearly lost has temper, and xool- beaded Arthur saw that it was useless to endeavour to pacify him. Then the two who but a few minutes before 'ha.d been such warm friends stood up before each other to do bottle, one against the other. Suddenky Dick lunged out with his left and struck at his opponent, bot Cecil guarded, and missed the opportunity of a neat retalia- t.Î'OÐ Dick flushed hotly at the thought of his own rashness and the other's palpable reluctance to take advantage of it. Arthur acted wholly on the defensive, guaxding and doging with a. calmness that was terribly goading to the other's excited feelings. "I'll smash yonr* Dick almost shouted in his rage, and he rushed viciously at Cecil, and drove with all his might, and Arthur went down with a crash. Dick dashed toward him, an evil intent apparent in his face. For one moment he forgot all codes of honour and fair play; he only knew that his opponent was at his mercy for the time being. He would revenge himself somehow! As he started forward there was a sharp iittle cry from somewhere overhead, the thick clustering leaves on the branch of the tree just above them suddenly parted, there was a swishing sound, something flashed darkly between him and the proetrate form, and Diok found himself face to face with-illilly. "Dick," she panted, red-faced and trean- bling. "How dare you?" Greville slunk back limply, his eyas fixed trpon her, and his mouth open wide as though he would speak but could not. The two of them stood a moment eyeing each other in Silence, and waiting for each to speak. Arthur got upon his feet, and looked over Míitly's shoulder. Then he btrrst out laugh- ing as he ea/ught sight of Dick's face. Then Milly laughed out loudly and Dick scowled terribly, and then he laughed too, because they did. "What were you doing in the tree, Squirrel ?" Dick presently asked, somewhat sodlenly. What were you fighting about. Bruin ?" ehe retorted, glancing at Arthur, who had come forward. Let me tell you," said Ciecil. It was my fault im the first -place, because I wouldn't, promise not to try and cut him out." Cut him put?" she exclaimed aghast, like one repeating a lesson. Don't be silly," said Dick, gruffly. Be explicit, please." he added, to Arthur, who was laughing again. Well, we were talking about you," con- tinued Arthur, hesitatingly—here Milly bowed obsequiously to Dick—"and Dick said he knew you, and I said I wanted to, and be said I didn't went to, amd he didn't want me to—and—and—" We had a jolly fine row," Dick supple- mented, grimly. And a very bad fight," said Milly. deci- sively, to Dick. "You were going to kick him J" Dick flushed scarlet and hung his head. "You were going to disgrace yourself." It was for you-the fight," said Dick. The Squirrel ? Fighting—black eyes and out lipe—for a mere Milly?" and she laughed again at both of them. "Look here, I've come down without my hat, and-" she stopped and looked at Dick and Arthur. Cecil was nearest the tree. Dick being some dozen: yards away. Cecil glanced at Greville and then stood away, and a few moments later' Milly was fastening the soft white straw on Tier pretty head,, and Dick was brushing the dust from his garments. "Now, gentlemen," she said, authori- tatively, I must withdraw from your society, but you must promise me never to fall out again over me. WiLl you?" Dkk and Arthur both nodded at once. "Well?" she added, and then stopped and fixed them with her twinkling eyes. j They knew what she meant, and the hand- olaep that followed between the two fellows was hearty and earnest. "Thanks," she said, simply. Good-bye, Dick. and," Dick caught her hand and turned to his friend. No," said Cecil, quietly. "I won't let you introduce me. Dick, nor will I shake hands." "Do you want me to knock you down?" Milly asked, severely. I have heard your name," she added, quic-lity. "It is Arthur Cecil, and-and-I don't think I should really care to know you much, and Dick won't mind you shaking nandfl with me." Arthur hesitated a moment, looking at Dick. Then he shook hands with Milly. "Squirrel!" Yes, Bruin!" "What made you climb a tree?" The thought that 'perhaps I <ould if I tried," she answered, saucily. Do you want me to tell you something else?" she added, meaningly. "Yes; what might it bt-?, "Go and do as I did "Olimb the tree?" She nodded. "But why? I have." "You dimply went there and back and—, oh, good-bye," and she was gone, flying fast aloug the yellow roadway, her liat hanging 0:1 her shapely shoulders and her hair streaming straight behind her. Not once did she gl-anee btwk. The two stood watching her till she was ou t of sight. "What the Dickens does she mea,ul" Dick muttered, slowly, throwing himself down on the grass and locking at Arthur fixedly. "I simply went there and bgek! Can you pro- pound the riddle, old chr.ppie?" Cecil shook his head. "If it baffles you it ccmpletely confounds me," he said, and went towards the river, leaving his friend strug- gling in the grasp of a tantalising and to him curious problem. After awhile Arthur turned round, but Dick had vanished. A little surprised, he came up the bank and gazed around him. "Dick." he called. "Diok! Richard, John Greville!" ¡ "What do you want, confound you?" "Hullo! 'Nother Squirrel?" Dick was in the trce! Another sixty seconds and he was out of it again, and in his hands was a piece of torn white paper. "Listen, you fool," he cried wildly:- Dickie, boy, I've been an awful tease to yon, and I've made up my mind never to teawe yen any more. I saw you talking to that JohiMan girl yesterday. Oh, Dickie, if vou p'rcmi faithfully never to 6pmk to THAT again I'll—I'll— "I'll 00 hanged if I read you any more, Arthur Arthur seized his hand and .wrung it hard. "Congratulations, old fellow," he said. "She's a fine girl." "Do you think so, really?" "Yes, but I shouldn't jet her call me Bruin." "I don't care what ehe calls me eo long as —oh. come along you infidel. I'm hungry." "Youre is a. sensible passion, Dick, if -you are hungry on it," said practical Arthur, as they linked arms tightly together and departed as they bad come. "I hope Dickie hasn't got sense e-nough to understand what I mean," muttered Milly to herself. "I don't thin-k-I don't think I wish I'd done it now." So like a girl was Milly.

IYouthful DesperadoI
I Youthful Desperado I I SAID TO' HAVE STOLEN £ 460. A remarkable tally of crimes was laid to the charge of Francis Glaze, a boy of eleven, and small for his age, who was remanded for a week at Preston yesterday on a charge of not being under proper guardianship. This youthful desperado, the chief constable told the court, was the head of a. hand of boy thieves who robbed letter and pillar boxes. On Sunday alone the prisoner had thus obtained £460 in cheques and postal orders, and on another occasion C60. His smaliness helped him in his career of crime, for, said Delective Woodacre, his hand was so small and his arm so thin thac he could thrust them through the openings in the boxes and abstract their contents. His plunder he hid in a cellar underneath his school and in crevices in different parts of I the town. — —

For Women Folk. I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES Spots of cream on the teacloth disappear if touched with ammonia and ironed over a piece of clean, white blotting-paper. Concerning Fires When a fire must be left for a time bank it up with small coal, and sprinkle salt over, This is t- Blost economical plan. A great | many people follow the dangerous practice of pouring paraffin on to a newly-lighted fire. A much safer method is to form loose orals of paper, saturate with the oil, and place in position before lighting. Rout Cakes Half-pound gronnd almonds, loz. ground bitter almond;, six eggs, eight tablespoonfuls sifted sugar, five table&.ooonfuls fine flour, grated rind one lemon, and 3oz. butter. Separate the eggs, beat the yolks, and add them to the almonds. Stir in the sugar, flour and lemon rind, add the butter, which should be beaten to a cream, and when all are mixed put in the beaten whites of the eg,s. put the mixture iu fancy tins, or drop on a greased cake tin; any shape preferred. Bake in a hot oven. Curry Puffs Mince lib. of mutton or beef, slice one j small onion into a pan with a small piece of butter and fn- brown, add mince and sprinkle two dessertspoonfuls of curry pow- der with a little salt; mix well and 000k for fifteen minutes. Have ready some puff paste, roll out thin, and cut into squares of four inches. Put one tablespoonful of the mince into each square, wet edges, tarn over and prese; together with fork; bake for about twenty minutes in a moderate oven. Can be eaten hot or oold. Very good.

Born in Holloway Gaol Born in Hojloway Gaoll FRENCH ATTACHE'S APPLICATION I A remarkable application was made yester- day in the Divisional Court of the King's Bench Division. ?Ir. Horace A vory, K.C., applied on behalf of M. Andre Delombre i?, 0? a rule nisi for a certiorari to quash an affiliation order made by the West London magistrate. Counsel said his client was a French subject, and an attache at the Minis- try of Agriculture in Paris. The suit against him was brought by a Frenchwoman named Fouqualt. The ground of the application for the rule was that M. Delombre was never served with the summons, and that the magistrate, therefore, had no juried) ction. It was also claimed that the woman did not reside within the jurisdiction of the magistrate within the meaning of taa Statute, and again that applicant did not return to England within twelve months after the birth of the child. The birth took place in Holloway Gaol, where the woman was incarcerated pfrior to being charged with throwing vitriol over the gentleman and injuring the sight of one of his eyes. Following that event, continued counsel, ¡I both parties went at different times to Paris, and nothing was heard of the matter until August, 1908, which was more than twelve I months after the birth of the child. In that month 31. Delombre came to Eng- land on duty, and the woman appeared to have fallowed him. and to have resided within the arc-a. of the poLice-court for a certain time in order to come within the jurisdiction of the court. Their lordships mant the rule.

A MODEST LION-KILLEP, I Cap!ain Geoffrey Buxton, who shot three lioni; in fifteen minut-et. treats his exploit in a modest manner, and as though it were an ordinary event in everyday life. He was in the Kedong Valley, not far from Naorobi, soon after daybreak, when the exciting ju- cidents occurred. Suddenly a lion emerged from the bush. and after receiving a rapid shot disappeared. A second lion came upon the scene almost immediately, and Captain Buxton fJhot it in the throat. Afterwards both lions were found dead, lying across each other. not far from the gcene of the encoun- ter. The next engagement was with two lionesses, one of which was shot in the shoul- der. She continued to run from her assail- ant, but when Captain Buxton followed she turned and charged. Captain.. Buxton was fortunate at the critical moment in lodging a shot in her mouth, and his third victim fell dead.

I allude to a practical scheme for the national encouragement of horse breeding. This is surely a vital ques- tion, and one which might well be suggested with others by "An Englishman's Home." This may be the age of the motor-car, but the Transvaal War showed that horses can still be an immense factor in modern war- fare. An Empire might be lost for the lack of horses.

It was only a few weeks ago that his Majesty, staying in a country house with the Queen, consented solemnly to open a new doll's house for the little grand- daughter of his host. "Come on, King! Be quick!" said the mite, appearing, gold key in hand, at the hour when the "opening" was to take place; and "come on" the King did.—"The Bystander."

A Lunatic's Ruse.I
A Lunatic's Ruse. LADY ESCAPES IN MAN'S CLOTHES The MetrondJitan police are anxious to trace the whereabouts of a'lady who escaped during the week from gome attendants whilst, it was alleged, she was of unsound mind. While being- taken through the city streets she suddenly eluded attention, and was lost in the traffic. This is the second occasion on which the lady bits escaped from custody. A few weeks ago, while an inmate of an asylum in the west of England, she dressed herself in man's clothing, and suc- ceeded in getting clear of the institution. No trace of her was (Iiseovered until a few days ago, when she was found to be residing in the Eait End. This is probably the Spanish lady who escaped her attendants near Lon- don Wall. She was wearing a large motor hat, a blue three-quarter coat, far collar, and blue spotted blouse.

Billiards. 22.-CANN0NS OFF THE TOP CUSHION By RISO LEVI (Copyright). Diagram 536 shows a location of the halls which is typical of positions that often occur. When the player is in hand. a cannon off the top cushion can be made by various kinds of strokes as regards the kind of con- tact and amount of side. For example, if the cue ball be spotted at the far end of the D much lecis side will be required than is the case with the cue hall spotted, eay three or four inches from this end, the kind of con- tact with the first object ba.11 being presumed DI AG BAM £ 36.—A cannon off the top cushion piaved with plenty of fide. Red ball 6in. from, the side cushion and 50iiu. from the tnp cushion. Object white iin. freni the side' C'isMort and 18in. srorn the top CU,.bjOT1. Cue bail 3 or 4Ln. from the end of the D. Position for an in-off from the red may be obtained by means of a good-:4rengt;il stroke. to be the 6anie in eaoh case. The-ie parti- C'ular cannons from the D are, however, less difficult, when played with plenty of side than when played with only a moderate amount of side, for when the angle is such that only a moderate amount of side is required it is no ea.Fy matter to imp-art just the right amoomt to the cue ball. If instead ot striking the cue ball on the correct spot", it is struck only fractionally to the right or left of this spot too much side or too little side will be imparted to it. When, howLver, the augle is such that a player knows that the amount of side re- quired for the stroke is just about as much or nearly a,s much a,s he is ab!eto impart to the cue ball, he is less likely to go wrong than when, though having to play with side, he has not to impart to the cue ball any- thing like the maximum amount of side which he is able to impart, for in the former caste he plays the stroke with as much side as he can, whereas in the latter case he haa to gauje the amount. This question of a moderate amount of side as contrasted with plenty of side has its counterpart in screw strokes, for screw cannons or screw in-offs are often much easier when they require plenty of screw, than when, though impos- sible at modrate strength without screw, they only require very little screw. The can- non shown on Diagram 586 should therefore be played with plenty of side and the cue ball should be spotted at an angle which will be in ,aoCcordnce with the amount of side with which the stroke is being played. With the object balls situated as shown on Diagram 586 the cue ball should be spotted three or four inches from the end of the D, and from this spotting of the cue ball the cannon can be made by means of a stroke about half-way between quarter-ball and half-hall, played with plenty of side.' The stroke should be played with drag. The first object ball will cross the table more as in- dicated by the intersected line, and though the exact direction of its line of travel will depend upon how full or otherwise it has been taken by the cue ball-the fuller the contract the higher up the table will it trayel-a good-strength stroke will generally leave 'position for an in-off into the top Ipockot. "DIAGBAM 537.—A cannon off the top and side cushions piaved w. itt, plenty of sid-e. Red baU 9m. from t-he side cushion and 54in. from the top cushion.

Position for an in-off from the red may 'be obtained by mmns of a good-strength, stroke. Diagram 567 slIowe a variation of the can. non shown on Diagram 586. Owing to the second object ball being several inches away from the cushion the cannon mn be made either off the top omhion only or off the top and side cushions. It is, however, better to play this cannon off two cushions ?t-han off only one. for when played off two cushions the risk of the cue ball passing be. tween the cushion and the second object bail wit-hou-t touching this hall is very greatly lessened. The cue bail should be spotted at or near the extreme end of the D, and the stroke should he played with plenty of side and drag. A good-strength stroke will generally lea.ve position for an in-off to continue with. Mr. Leri/p articles aTttw-ar every -1 Saturday in the "Evening Expre^e."

West Stanley Mine
West Stanley Mine ISEQUEL TOTHE TERRIBLE EXPLOSION I I Disaster follows disaster for the unfortu- nate miners engaged in the West Stanley Colliery. As a sequel to the terrible explo- sion which last week caused the death of 168 boys and men comes the pathetk intimation from the owners of the eolliery, Me",sœ. Burn, that they have been compelled to close the mine ?Itcgether on account of their heavy losses. In a circular issued by them last night to their workpeople they state that the pit has been op-erateri at a heavy lc<?-s in every year 'but one since 1903. The firm has carried on the colliery for three geaerationo, and they make the present announcement -with great regret, but it is some consolation to them that the money lost has gone in the payment ol wages. As the reanlt of this not,ice about 240 men a.nd boys will be left without employment through no fault of their own at a time when w;ork is exceedingly diftioult to obtain. This will mean a grievous trial for a small community which has already suffered so severely. i The oflicial inspection to ascertain the cause of the explosion has been completed. The work was most arduous and difficult, and I it is uuderatood that the cause of the disaster has not been definitely determined.

Miss Pierce is an American, born in New York, and reared within the shadow of the stage. No! ah" does not give imitations," but impres- sions "—totally different things, as you will see next week. She will select from the following repertoire of star players Sarah Bernhardt, Eleanora Buse, Ellen Terry, Irene Vanbrugh, Edna May, Mrs. Patrick Cainp?ll, Evie Greene, Mrs. Leslie Carter, Ada Ee<ve, ?IIaiine Terris. Julia Neil son, Lena A?hwell. Beerhohm Tme, and Albert ChevaHe-. From her earliest years Miss Pierce g-a\? evidence of strong histrionic abilities, and before ahe had lived long she was giving astonishing "impressions" of people she had steu on the American stage. She firyt appeared at four years of age as an ape in Rider Haggard's She," which takes the place of She" after that lady has been consumed in the flames. Then she played in The Silver King," and made quite a reputation by her impersonation of "Little Lord Fauntleroy." She played a, part in "A I M¡w's Shadow," when the late William Terris made his American tour, and when the famous playwright Gerard Kaupimalial was about to produce Kannel-e" (translated), he gave her the leading role, which the authorities prevented her from playing becaus3 she was not sixteen. Herbert Darn- ley's Compa ny in The Mandarin will also appear. The Delevines will repeat their former terpôichor'e,a,ll offering" Flipp and Flopp," and others on the bill are Rex Fox, ventriloquist, on a t?bt wire; A dame and Ward, acrobatic comedians; the Coloured Meraters. exce!lentharmonist8; Frances LeUy, who will biug Does anyone want a Girt?"; Jack Lane, Helen Forsyth, and the bioscope.

I ADVENTURE ON A STEAMERI
I ADVENTURE ON A STEAMER I Frederick Graf. teacher of lamguage« in the Berlitz School at Belfast, was charged at the police-court in that city yesterday with forgery and conspiracy to defraud. The allegation aga-inst the defendant is that, trading upon the lack of knowledge of Fra-uleia Ophale, a German governess, to whom be introduced himself in a Flushing. Harwich steamer in July, iJ(j7..he made love to her and induced her to transfer 1910 from a Berlin bank to a bank I-n, Belfast, and to send him authorisations to draw out the money. He M also alleged to have procured Henrietta Crieka (not in custody) to Ptr- son a te Fraulein Ophale at the bank. A further charge of obtaining JEM by fraud from Jacob Janetsky was preferred, and the I defenda-nt was again remanded.
THE BRITISH MUSEUM WITCH i
THE BRITISH MUSEUM WITCH i Speaking in London, yesterday, Mrs. St. I Hill said that in ,many parts of England, ¡ even on the outskirts of London, aJid par- ticularly in the west country, the belief in the power of witchcraft had ,survived to this day. A case of supposed witchcraft in Totnes, Devon, had oom-e under her notice in which ¡ a girl's arm, which a. doctor said m-ust be amputated, had been. healed by the wise man of Newton." As another instance of the -survival of the power of witchcraft the lecturer quoted the case of the Egyptian mumtay which the authorities of the British Museum had been obliged to remove. Every- one who came into contact with the ease that had held the body of the great witch queen suffered, even the policeman on duty.

I ROYAL ITALIAN CIRCUS I The entire charige of programme which Mr. Edwin Gilley has arranged for Signor Volpi's Royal Italian Circus will undoubtedly result in a continuance of the crowded houses, and more especially as the last two weeks of the season end on March 13. Since the Queen patted Jumbo Junior, the children I who throng the performances are anxious to do likewise, and the tiny elephant will now conduct a full four-footed orchestra, that is. a band of ten pony musicians, who will play selections with almost human skill. Fasolin," the flying trapeze monkey, is billed to perform a sensational aerial flight that is beyond the skill of man. Another great item among the 200 performing animals will be a stirring court-martial scene. Mati- nees are again announced for eacit Wednes- day a-nd Saturday.

Mrs. Hiok- son stated some days ago that her husband was possibly walking home from London, and she thinks the postcard confirms her ex- pectation. There has been emphatic testi- mony to Hick.son's remarkable knowledge of the weather phenomena since he disappeared in London a fortnight ago.
