) t i TO BAY'S SHORT STORY.] J\ Fi;A;tg- ;:L;t Flutter1 ? ■ ■ ■ Q I didn't like the run? of it from the first. There was the plsua of the mansion done something beaartiftrl; and there was Flash Harry, holding his htreath. after rattling off the most fascinating tale tha.t ever made a misguided man's Wood go smoking hot. Yet, &8 I sit there, fingering the ticket-of-leave in my pocket, I'd have given sovereigns for the courage to catch him by the neck and put him outsitle—but the way that man always had with him was something past words. A Tain't fciir!" I whispers, wiping my fore- head. "You try someone else. I took my solemn oath last time-" "And didn't 1,. too?" he says. in staggering earnest. "Bill Flannigan, mind you ain't mad! We>3 both of us turned up risking and run;ninz; it's no class whatever. But this here—w.hy, I'm coming and poshing sacks o' goldrnn quids inside your door. The others 'ud lose' their heads over being million- aires at a stroke; you wouldn't. Look at it! There's the house, seventeen solid miles from Tiondon, and only one or two bloated vil- large coppers auiy where near." That was it, -and so it happened that, a bit before da-wo, two days later, I fonnd nryeelf acrae?). creep down that cursed corridor in Colonel Armstrong's country house. Fla-sh Horry was feeling his way down below; you. could hear your heart ticking. and yet I'd never felt more shaky and doubtful. One more ate-p- I took, and then—wallop! I'd gong gpTa.wlia,g, the sweat oozing out on me like beads, ,md in my ears the mo?t .Uorrid sound of bells jangling, as it seemed, all over the house. What next? Plash Harry's rush down there, then a spell cf I 1 horrible silence. As I struggled up, half- stunned, and groped for the wire that had I been stretched low across there, bang goes a door, and someone came teaming up those i stairs, calling someone else. I went flying down that corridor, turned the corner, and came to more stairs, one up and one down. Xever reckoning, I dashed up; and, perhaps;, that Bared me for the time-the mail afiter me must ha;ve gone down.. I was on the top landing, under a slanting roof, every nerve in me red-hot. Cornered? No; there was a trap, or skylight, just overhead, with the half-light showing thron,gh like a. gleam of salvation. Up on the banister! I found. the bolt, just managed to shoot it ba-e-k, and banged open the trap. One spring aDd I caught the oiter ledge, and had drag-grid myself through—waiting for the shout of discovery underneath. It nevor came. For what seemed solid years I lay there, not daring to move a muscle, praying for daylight. Fairly sick and des- perate, I lifts my head at last to look behind. Ugh! There was the brown fields right down bel.otc aild-ond--wh-y, was that a waterspout j sticking up at th,& corner, only a few yards away? Yes! Then it was my chance, if I ,could only get to it. My feet against the gutter, I started worming along sideways, till my hoots touched the spout, and I had only to turn room} head downwards on the I greasy slant. I couldn't again, but I did it somehow. One breath I took in, and then peered down, ready for anything. Was I dreaming'? That pipe reached clear to the ground, and there wasn't a policeman or anyone else to be seen. The ailIliazing fool I'd been! Quick as thought I laid hold of the pipe, worked myself off the edge, and went scrambling dbwn it like a cat. gripping I easily with hands and knees. Down, down, un-til I could have writ myself down safe as eggs—when a door tust below opened, and someone stepped calmly out. A "mar-! One horrid stare, then a screech that went right through me; but I didn't nit for the rest. I dropped, dashed along by the wall, through a gateway, and went off 11P thart road at a, pace that made every- thing swim, before me. Clear away? No— horrors!—as I turned the corner, I gave one back-look to see if the shout m-eant any- thing; and there was a. man just starting after me on a bicycle affair. I rushed on I aaother hundred yardn before that sweet gap in the hedge sent the thought into me—a bicycle was no good in a field. Staggering ever the ruts I went for bare life, praying for one more chance. Another hedgaDOther took. back. Aye, he was after me, trundling his ronindabout across, shouting like mad. Whoop! I'd tumbled out into a road again. 'All up now! There was a sharp bend; turn- ing for the last time, I just see his wheel wobbling as he got astride it. One more spnrt, and then, just as I was a-winging round with my fists Ip, I spied the ghost of a eh-arace—a high, spiked brick wall, and the branch of am elder-tree hanging over it. One wild jump I took. cajught the branch, wriggled up, went to lay aJong the spikes till he'd passed, lost my balance, and toppled sheer oyer-a good twelve feet. Then came a « dork bl.ank-a beauty! It was the sound of talking that brought me to in a fright. It was the sight f1 about a ipcore of men walkiug about the grounds all dressed much alike in a sort of grey stuff th" made me fetch my breath so aharp. What -on earth was they up to. etrolhdgup and down so nice and easy? And then of a sudden I hit it-I'd chucked myself mto a -workhouse grounds, and these were the palipers filling their poor lungs with the blessed free air. All eyes and eir,3, I peered about. The paupers, they was a healthy, contented-look- ing lot enough—all bar one chap, that some- I how ceuglit on my eye from the first. You could see at a glance that he was no regular house" man, and felt the sting of being there cruel. He walked round and round by 'I iisself, avoiding the others. Twice he'd been right by me, head down, mournful as •possible—a man about my own class, and reddish whiskers something similar. But I didn't take that last in till it so happened he came oy the third time; and th-en-tllere, you might have stunned me with a baby's rattle-if he didn't shake hands hard with ihisaelf. look up pitiful, and say: "Oh for jus- tice! Oth, to throw off these hated rags and ta.,te the eld liberty for one hour!" That was the man's words. And me-well, I didn't know properly what was in my mind even then, but before I kirew it. or saw my way at all, I'd blurted out, in a husky hiss: "Eight you are, matey—change clothes!" 5 "Who-who's that?" Tell you, I made cer- tain I'd put my head into the rope—such a etart he gave at seeing me there. goggle-eyed at the rummy inspiration his look and word gave me. And he was fly—pretended to be looking up. "Keep still! Who are you?" he asks, very goft. "I'm the- the new cook," I gasps. "What's up? Did you mean that there—you're dying to have an hour out on your own? Can t you do it in that clobber?" For, do you see, all I could grasp at was, if such a thing could happen that he got outside in my suit, they would be after him for the burglary, while I could slip out a.t the workhouse door and cut the neighbourhood before they found their mistake. And the way that man 'went white showed he meant it, whatever his idea. "Yo" don't know this place." he says; "you must be stark mad to come here. It's worse than a prison—eyes in every corn-er-a dis- frrace to civilisation. Twice I've got away and been brought back. Why? Because, if I once got back to London, I could lay claim to a vast fortune—and get it. And my rela- tions know it, and are keeping me here With-I out a. penny as long as they can. Yes, Sir I'm the real Archibald Savage. It's a soan- 1 dal that ought to be in the newspapers." Ix>r' I whispers, reeking with sweat for fear of someone coming along. "Then let's be quiok-how can we do it? There's nine I "bob in one o' these pockets, and it's halves. (S, Where—quick?" We're all right," he says, still gazing up. Providence sent you, and Providence will ? repay you. Don't you see the tool-house in the corner? Go on your hands and knees— 80 w r Safe-that's it! Can you see? I Ihen—off with 'em!" Well! I oouIa ha' burst with chuckling, i Only for fear. I could hardly believe it was I ftil true, but you could scarcely count fifty v before there we was in each other's clothes, i and he was scuttling back along the wall to behind that elder—the very spit of me. what with the peaked cap and corduroys. And 1 that man that hated the union so-well, I wasn't going to give myself away! I didn't dare draw breath till he'd got off m..V shoulder on to the spikes, dropped over with & tbud, and hobbled off up the road groan- ing. Gone! There I stood, shaking all over after it, wondering whether I'd got out of one ho?e into a. deeper. The pauper togs felt i f. rmmDy and skimpy, and I was no hand at j 1 breaking stones, if it canae to that; somehow, ? u I looked it up and down, I couldn't make up my mind to try sneaking out of the front door, without being noticed. Xo; I'd give him ten minutes' oat-art, and then risk the wail and the fields again. That wasn't to be. Presently my pulse gives a fresh bouud as one of those official fellows come walking up my way. Just in time I recollected my book, stepped out into the path, and began roa.ming round same as the rest, with my hcld down and hands together, like that other fellow. And one of the other pauper chaps seemed to be edging near me. Er-well. my lord," he says, in a high, preachy voice, stopping; "still brooding?" I stares upo, and down again quick. Halloa, I thinks, that fellow was a duke or some- thing, come down to this! "Yus, mate,' I I says, afraid to pick my words. "Always ,L;av, q afraid to _oitl% a-brooding1—doomed to it. It's that vast fortune does it." I knew I'd spe-ken wrong, but I was clean taken off my heels when he stepped up, cool as a, cucumber, and give my ear a nasty lug, and then another. Up went my fist, without me knowing it. I could have shouted. "Here, what game's this?" I says. "Jer, don't you take no liberties like that again." L-liberties! The way that man drew his- self up and let his lungs go was something paralysing. You're intoxicated, sirl he says. "Look at your dirty face! Liberties! How dare you address the man who ought to be on the throne of Prussia in that familiar way? You know who I am. as well as I do. You're a lo'w French spy—I've said so all along!" Next moment—oh, what wouldn't I have given if I'd only let that chap pull my other ea-r, and edged on! How did it happen? I'll never properly know, many a time as I've dreamed it all ever since. Red to white he went, and back again; and then, with a howl nowhere nigh human, he come at me, his mouth gaping open. And I reckon the howl I sent up wasn't so f&r inferior, for there's the marks on my nose to this b leased minute to show where his pretty teeth closed. Arms and legs round me, he was biting and tearing in a fashion that put all fear out of me. Cumberland style I might have managed-but that there! Yes; and a sudden, when everything was beginning to spin round, the horrid truth of it all flashed into my brain. I'd caught a shout. "George, qUick-padded room here! Ring up the doctor! Quick, I can't hold: him! There's something wrong!" Hold him! Padded room! Lor'! would I ever forget how all my boiling blood went icecold? W orkbouse? Nary bit of it! I'd just got into a madhouse, sirs, ami that savage chap, and that King of Prussia fellow, and these skipping marionettes—they was all drrvelling maniacs! And here One more screech I let off, one sma.sh at the men trying to bear me down; and then I was off, with the whole lot after me. Terror —it was never the word, for the minute I reckon I was clean fit for their padded room, chains and all. In ,nt a dozen bounds I'd got to that tool-house; in another I was a-top of it—sprung for the spdkee, and wriggled over in a. frenzy. Down to the blessetl road I bumped, theirfbell ring- ing like mad. Which way—which way? A thousand quid for a deep hole! One thrilling pause--Therl a beautiful baker's cart came rattling by, with only a bit of a boy in charge; and in half a jiffy I'd swung myself up at the back, snatched hold of the reins, and set that horse going like a Derby winner. Fly! I didn't stop till we'd covered a good ten miles, and, then, at a lonely spot, I got down and made off across country with half a loaf and t'other fellow's hat and coat—the last bit of thieving I'll ever lay my fingers to in this world! And pretty reading I reckon that baker-boy's tale made when he got back; but by that time I lay gasping and sweating along the seat of a third class carriage, and the shiny rails reached afore me right to London town. Back home, I never stirred out or touched a newspaper for a week. And the rest-well. it don't concern anyone. Enough that I can look anyone straight in the face across my little oyster-stall to-day; and that if Flash Harry's step ever sounds on my stairs again —well, there's a quickstep bit of music wait- ing for him to dance to.
For Women Folk. I
For Women Folk. I HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES I Russian Jelly ¡ This is made from the remains or any kind I of jelly. DH501ve over hot water. th4 ?n, h3k vigorously into a creamy froth, and poor into a mould to set. Butter Making For a small quantity of cream, if butter I is to be made, use a large-mouthed bottle with a, tight-fitting bung or stopper. Püur the cream in, and continually shake the bottle. until the cream turns to butter, taking care not to stop when once started. When butter comes take it out and well rinse in several waters, adding gait with last water according to taste. If colouring is needed, &crape a carrot and strain through a moslin. Do not waste buttermilk, as it makes light teacakes or Scotch sconee. The operation should take from, say, twenty to forty minutes, according to the weather, taking longer when it is very cold. Brain Food Many mothers may be unaware how neces- sary it is not only to feed the body but also the brain of U child from the earliest stage. This food oan be supplied by a simple means. All the bones of white fisih should be saved tcoo?ed and ra-w? amd ehouM more be needed a Sshmon?er ha? often some to dis- pose of after filleting fish for customers. Wash the bones well, breaking them up very smiall, and, after placing them in a dish covered i with cold water, cover the dish, and put it in a moderate oven until the bones are dissolved; the jelly that results is the food. Set the jelly away to keep cold, and place a teaspoonful two or three times a day in the child's food or drink. Beilig tasteless, the jelly blends with anything, and is as wonderful in effect as it is simple in prepa- ration. All fragments of nsh must be removed, leaving quite bare bones for the process of dissolving. I Woodcock and Snipe Woodcock and snipe are only good when they are fat, and are both roasted with everything in them. Snipe are rather inferior to woodcock. To roast them. pluck the birds very carefully, singe them, and skin the head and tuL?? without drawing them. Hang the birds feet downwards to a pit, put them before a clear Hie. and ha?e constantly with butter or dripp?g. When they have been down five minutes put under them slices of buttered toast free from eru,t one slice should be allowed for each bird; this is intended to catch the droppings from the trail. After the toast is put under the birds a. disih should be held under them when they are basted. When they a.re done enough, which will be wheu the steam draws to the fire, flour and brown them. Take them utP. dish them with a slice of toast under each, and without any gravy. Garnish I with watercress, a.nd send a tureen, of melted butter to table with them. Many people prefer to cover them with slices of bacon I before putting them down to the fire. Time to roast, twenty to twenty-fhe minutes.
CARDIFF EMPIRE.j
CARDIFF EMPIRE. Leo Roy, Talma, and Boeco, who head next week's Cardiff Empire bill, a,re responsible for a clever entertainm4?nU The fii?-t-named is a conjurer of remarkable talents. Talmo is a clever manipulator of coins, and Boeco is a fun-maker who discharges his obliga- tions so effectively that the act proceeds to the accompaniment of uproarious merri- ment. Undoubtedly the outstanding feature of this wonderful performance is the mysti- fying spectacle of a lady floating in mid air without the employment of any mechanical co, and her sudden disappearance in full view of the audience. Daley Cooper and Mabel I-ait, of musical comedy fame, will also appear in a musical fa,r,ce entitled "Passing the Time," by Sydney ,Blow. It is a breezy a.nd humorous sketch, and full of fun from start to finish, one of its best incidents being a capital burlesque on the Apache dance. The prin- i cipals are assisted by s* specially selected company. Others ell gaged are F. W. Pur cell's Company in the farcical sketch, "That Brute Simmons"; Belle Davis and her Piccanin- nies; Doras w ami, a veritable Pagajnini; Kate Traill, at the piano; Melia and Mozar- aba-r, Tom E. Hughes, and Nance Elder.

A Lady Terrorist A Lady Terrorist I ARRESTED CARRYING DYNAMITE An eleganttly-dreesed R ussian lady has been arrested at the Austrian frontier e,taltion of Fcldkirch under strange circumstances. The lady was travelling from Geneva to Vienna, and dnring the journey her bulky appearance, strange behaviour, and restless- ness attracted attention. She had an india- rubber pillow, and upon this she was con- stantly placing a wet cloth. At Fe1dkinh the Austrian Customs oSlcer'a suspicions were aroused, a.nd the lady had I to be subjected to rigorous examination. The I result was that a large quantity of dyna- mite was found concealed in her capacious bodice, and a number of dangerous explo- j sives in the pillow. It "las because the lady feared an explosion that she used the wet okrt'hs. The lady was at once placed under arreet. She admitted that she was a Russian revo- lutionary, and that she had a husband and children in Vienna, with whom, she had lived happily until she became connected with the revolutionary movement. She stated that she had come from Paris to Geneva, in both of which places the Terrorists had secret hoards of explosives.

After carefully reading the paragraph, Mr. Hollonnt impatiently flung the pa,per down. "There never was a woman yet who could grasp a simple fact in print; this doesn't say the fellow swallowed a sponge." "I know it doesn't, in those exact words," assented his wife, but, then (triumphantly), how on earth could the poor man throw op the sponge if he didn't swallow it?"

IN DEATH NOT DIVIDED. I Ma-tthew Dance (59), stated to be an ex- butler of Prince Henry of Saxe-Weimar, and his wife have died within a few hours of each other, and at the inquest on their bodies, held at Westminster yesterday, a relative stated that she believed the couple had been living on an annuity granted by t,he prince, and that they also had small other means. The witness also said that lately the couple had become peculiar and had taken to drink. She attributed the woman's acquisition of the habit to the "horrible loneliness of her flat," where she had to live by herself when her husband was in attendance on the prince- "Death from natural causes" was the verdict returned. A doctor etated that it was merely a coinci- dence that the man and the woman died within a few hours of one another.

IA TIN OF SALMON.
I A TIN OF SALMON. An unsuccessful appeal was made yesterday in the Law Courts in the case of Jackson v. Watson and Sons, grocers, at Tunstall, Staffs. Defendants supplied Mrs. Jackson. with a tin of salmon, and she-- died after eating eome of the contents. The plaintiff brought the present action for damages, the action being based upon the breach of an. implied war- ranty that the salmon was reasonably fit to be eaten as food. The jury at the trial returned a verdict in favour of the plaintiff for £ 233 16s., which was apportioned as fol- 3s. medical expenses; E29 13s. funeral expenses; and LZDO for pecuniary loss to the plaintiff consequent on the death of his wife. The only question raised on the appeal was whether the plaintiff could recover the £200 for the pecuniary loss conse- quent upon the death of his wife. As stated, the appeal was dismissed, with costs.
ICRICKET I
CRICKET I St Pagan's Club Fixtures I With the exception of Mr. V. T. Hill and Mr. W. Edmunds, all the players who gave euch a good account of themselves last year are available for the club this season. The latter, who bowled with marked success in all matches, will be greatly missed. There are. however, several "colts" of promise in the village, and there. is every prospect of the club again pulling through most of their games. The officers are:—President, the Earl of Plymouth; vice-presidents, Mr Robert Forrest and Colonel W. Forrest; captain, Viscount Windsor: vioe-captains, the Hon. Archer Windsor Clive and Mr. W. Spiller; treasurer, Mr. W. J. Evans; and hon. secretary, Mr. Hugh A. Pettigrew. The appointment of Mr. W. Spiller as one of the vice-captains has given the greatest satis- faction to the members of the club and to the villagers generally. It is felt that his skill and judgment will materially aid tho club in getting out on top in most of their encounters. Mr. H. A.

WINNER'S BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE…
WINNER'S BRILLIANT PERFORMANCE The Grand National Ste&plecbase—the greatest race of its kind in the world-wag won yesterday, for the first time in its history, by a French horse, Lutteur III., I ridden by a French jockey, Parfreiment. Not only did Lutteur III. win, but he accom- plished one of the most brilliant perform-1 ances ever seen at Aintree. He is only a five-year-old, and makes the fith horse of I that age to win in the last sixty years, the others being Alcibiade, Begal, Austerlitz, and Empress, who won in 1881. I Though Lutteur III. was bred and trained in France, he has several British connec- tions. His owner, M. Jacques Hennessy, is I a member of the famous brandy firm founded by one Richard Hennessy, who left Cork for Cognac in the middle of the eigh- teenth century, and found that his Irish friends to whom he sent samples of the native liquor liked it so much that he took to exporting brandy as a serious business. Lutteur III.'s sire, St. Damien, is English bred, and William Jarvis, the Newmarket tra,iner, once hoped to win a Derby with him. Parfrement's father was a Yorkshire- man, and he wa,s born in Luton, though he has spent more of his life in France and done all his riding there. There was no fewer than 32 starters for yesterday's race—a record which has not been equalled since 1850—and nineteen, finished, a record number, for seldom do more than half a dozen horses survive the ordeal of going twice round the trying course over the stiffest fences in the world.

I Billiards. .0 1 !lB.-CANNONS OFF THE TOP CUSHION I I By RISO LIYJ (Copyright). I I In the position shown on Diagram 594 the I screw cannon off the cushion is best played by means of a half-ball contact, for it is much easier to ensure correct contact when using a half-ball stroke than when playing to take a ball thinner or fuller than half- haP. In oerta.iii variations, given last week, of the position shown on Diagram 594 a half- ball stroke cannot be used, as such a stroke would throw the first object ball on to the second one. Diagram 595 illustrates such a position. Here, as a half-ball stroke would cause the red to hit the white, a somewhat thinner than half-ball stroke must be employed DL-u R"\M 595.-A screw-cannon off the top cushion Red ball on the sp?ut Cue ball and object whit? both 2jm. from the red. All three balls in a straight line. Unless the red be taken quite thinly it will kiss the I object white for a cannon off the cushion, and ooneider- ably more screw must be used to compensate for the thinner than half-ball contact with the red. In this stroke some check side— left-hand- side in tne diaigra.m-may be advan- tageously used in order to cause the oue ball to rebound more squarely from the cushion than it would do as the result of a plain-ball screw. Whereas, however, the half- ball gorew cannon off the cushion illustl= on Diagram 594 is an easy enough stroke and quite within the compass of any mode- rate player when played in the manner I already described, the thinner than half-ball screw cannon to avoid the kiss, as illustrated on Diagram 595, is a difficult stroke, and quite beyond the ordinary player. An alter- I native stroke to this thinner than half-baL e,c-rew of the cushion is a cannon off the top cushion, hitting the cushion first, but such a stroke is also a difficult one owing to the nicety of judgment required as to what point I on the cushion to aim at. Ort,her alternative strokes are a steeplechase cannon, a masse cannon, or a pot, but all these strokes axe, extremely difficult. In the position shown on Ddas-ram 594 the pot is also an alternative I stroke to the cannon, but even this pot, whilst not as difficult as a pot with the balls situated aB shown on Diagram 595, is any thing but an easy stroke to judge. Diagram 596 illustrates a position which is typical of positions which often occur. The only stro'ke at all on is a cannon, but a ball- to-ball cannon is impossible by means of a medium-pace half-ball stroke even with extreme running side. A bal1-l1 cannon is, however, an easy enough stroke when played as a forcing stroke, and this is the way the ordinary player plays it. Such a stroke, however, sends the balls flying all over I the table, and the player who plays the cannon in this manner trusts to fortune for his next stroke. Instead of the cannon being played by means of a banging stroke it should be played off the top cushion, and not much more strength should be used than is necessary to cause the cue ball to reach the second object ball. The moderate player, I however, when playing this cannon off the top cushion generally plays it in the wrong way. The position illustrated on the dia- -gra,m is such that not only is it impossible to cannon direct from one ball on to the other by means of a medium-pace half-ball stroke, ibut dt is likewise impossible to get the cannon off the top cushion by means of a half-ball stroke without side. In fact, were the cannon to be attempted by the latter I stroke, -the cue ball's ilille of travel after its rebound from the top cushion would be quite wide of the red. The moderate player, recognising this quite easily, "aims for a thinnish contact with the first object ball in I' order to prevent the cue ball going round the second object ball, and also with the Diagram 596.—A cannon off the top cushion. A half-ball stroke with plenty of check side. Red ball on the spot. Object white 104 inches from the side cushion and 40 inches from the top cushion. Cue ball 17 inches from the eide cushion and 53 inches from the baulk cushion. I SaID-e end in view often (plays the stroke with some check side. As already explained, however, thinner than half-ball strokes played from a distance are always uncertain strokes owing to the difficulty that exists in taking the object ball M desired, and the use of check side further complicates I matters. In fact, should the cannon under discussion be played as a thinner than half- I ball stroke it is better to use no side and I rely 'upon correct contact with the object ball. The most reliable, and consequently the correct, way, however, of playing this cannon is by means of a medium-pace half- ball stroke with plenty of check eide. With the balls placed to the measurements given I under Diagram 596 a half-ball stro¥ will cause the cue-ball to strike the top cushion at a point which is practically right behind the red-tbe exact point of contact with the cushion will vary slightly according to whether the stroke is played with ivory balls or with bonzoline balls-and strong check side will cause the cue ball to rebound from the cushion quite squarely on to the red-- as shown by the continuous line on the diagram. Any fair player can be pretty certain of taking an object ball correctly when playing a half-ball stroke, whereas even really good players are often at fault when they have to use a thinner than half- bail stroke, consequently it is easy to under- stand why in the position shown on Diagram 596 the half-ball stroke with check side is much sounder than the thinner than half- ball stroke with or without check side. Of course, in strokes of the nature of the one under discussion, the amount of check side which must be used with a half-ball contact will not always be the same. but the necessary amount can always be gauged by calculating the point on the cushion upon which cue ball will impinge a6 the result of a half-ball stroke. This half-ball stroke with check side can often be just ae advan- tageously used for a cannon off the side cushion.

A Cardiff i Docksman I i DEATH OF MR. CUTHBERT WARD. I Mr. Cuthbert Ward, a weR-known and popular Cardiff Dooksman, died at Las Palm-as on Friday. Mr. Ward, wlio was head of the firm of Ward and Co., Mount Stuart-square, Cad. diff, for some time past suffered from consumption of the throat, and went upon a voyage to Las Palmas under medical advice. He was born about 50 years ago at South I S'hielde, and was apprenticed with the large firm of shipowners, Ac., Lindsay, Grade, and Co., on whose behalf he even- tually came to Cardiff. He was taken into partnership, and the style of the firm was altered to Lindsay, Graoie, and Ward, but subsequently he started in business on his own account, and acted for the Abernant Steam Coal Company (Limited), of which he was managing director. He resided at 39, Westbourne-roa-d, Penarth, and leaves a widow, one son (who is in the business), and two daughters. Mr. Ward was keenly interested in sports, and was always one of the foremost in the MR. CDTHBERT WARD. [Photo. Dighton. marry charita-ble movements of the Docks. He was one of the founders of the Glamorgan and Porthcawl Golf Clubs, and at one time was on the committee of the Cardiff Conser- vative Club. Of a generous and kindly and upright disposition, he was universally beloved and respected both in business and private circles.
TO-NICHT'S TATTOO.I
TO-NICHT'S TATTOO. Torchlight processions have a peculiar fascination, and the weird effect of large bodi-e-s of men threading intricate figures, themselves almost indistinguishable under the glare of the flaming brands, is most pleasing to the eye, and it was a happy thought which led to the decision to have a military display of this attractive kind at the Cardiff Arms Park this (Saturday) even- ing by men of the local Territorial regiments. The numerous figures promised at the torchlight tattoo are most ingenious and complicated, and require careful training to carry out; in fact, they are seldom attempted except by highly-drilled Regulair troops. One figure in particular, "the maze," done at the double, is sure to produce a sensation with its bewildering curves of rapidly-moving lights. I The troops will maron trom tnerr various headquarters by different routes through the city to assemble at the Cardiff Arms Park at 7.45, where the proceedings will commence with music and songs, popular and regi- mental. Then each of the 700 men who are to take part will light his torch, and the I marches will be carried out to the strains of the Glamorgan Royal Garrison Artillery and Royal Army Medical Corps Bands and the massed bugle bands of all units. After ten I figures have been performed there will be a display of physical drill by the Cardiff tele- graph messengers, illuminated by a search- light from the post-office buildings. During another interval in the torchlight marches the men of the cyclist corps will give a musical ride. Then a few more figures, more amazing in their intricacy, ending in a massing of the men round the band in the middle of the ground, and the display will finish with the Welsh National Anthem, the trumpets sound- ing the "Last Post," the band playing the evening hymn, and finally all joining in God Save the King." The object of the performance is to enhance the already-awakened interest in the Territorial Army, and as the charges for admission are small and the proceedings will not occupy more than an hour and a half- which is at this time of year a distinct advan- tage—it should attract a large number of spectators. The Cardiff Football Club have kindly given the use of their ground a-nd stands for the occasion.
STOLL'S PANOPTICON, CARDIFF
STOLL'S PANOPTICON, CARDIFF Now that the strengthening of the. Territorial Forces has become a burning I question, it is opportune that the manage- ment of Stoll's Panopticon, Cardiff, should star, as the principal attraction on next week's programme, the great bioscopic mili- tary sensation, entitled, The Invasion," which is recognised as a living picture of the first national importance. It illustrates camp life from reveille to tattoo inconnection with every arm of the service, and every true Britisher should witness it. The Young Australian Troubadours, including Miss Jenny Jones, the premier lady banjoist and violoncellist, will appear for the last time during the week, and amongst the other items of attraction will be illustrated songs by Mr. Harry Lewis and Mr. Arthur J. Perry, late of the Moody Manners and Carl Rosa Opera Companies; photographs of great splendour of the Hartz Mountains in winter, a magnificent dramatic story in twelve tableaux, entitled The Farmer's Grandson," and several other bioscopic triumphs. Matinee performances will be given on Wednesday and Saturday.
I THE MOTOR CRAZE
I THE MOTOR CRAZE Motoring as a "craze'' never really caught on, for the reason that there was no "exercise" in it. People, of course, still motor—as they always will motor in order to get from one place to another but after the first six weeks when motoring became the fashion nobody ever thought of going out for the sake of a "spin." As a craze it could not succeed, because it. entailed sitting still, and if an Englishman is not using his head he must be using his legs.—"The Ladies' Fialo.
Carried Off in a MotorI
Carried Off in a Motor I LITTLE GlRL'8 SINGULAR ABDUCTION I A eensa,tiotl1:a.I abduction, with a remark- abile 'sequel, is reported from Nottingham. On Wednesday afternoon two young men, in a large motor-car, drove up to a. suburban hotel, and, after partaking of tea, persuaded the landlord, with his five-year-old daughter, to go for a ride, urging that the outing would do tJi-e child good. When they reached No-tting-hami they per-suaded the father to leave the car momentarily, and at I once drove off with the child. The c'h-ild's mother left Iher home five I months ago and went to reside with isome friends in a residential suburb of Notting- lbJa,m" Thither, it seems, the child was at once taiken by her captors, and an affecting meeting took place between the mother and daughter. Tihe g-iirl was T)at to bed' 081. Thursday nigflit at the tisHal hour, and' the olther inmates of the house repaired to tihe sitting-room. Scarcely had they done so, when they were startled by the sound of breaking glasti in an adjoining apartment. A brick had been thrown through the window, and on reach- irug the noom iit was tound that a dozen strong fellows, with the child's father and his brother, were in possession. The men said they meant to recover the abducted child. The bedroom door wais hastily secured and lba.rdcaded, but, despite these measures, the, invaders obtained the I u.pper hand, and, forcing their way into the bediroo-m, snatched the wide-awa-ke and excited girl from her bed, and; conveyed- her I Here they rolled her up in a rug, a-nd. jumping into a waiting motor-car, the brothers, with tiheir little burden, made all speed to a place of gaiety. The child lie now under her {father's roof.
NEW THEATRE, CARDfFF__I
NEW THEATRE, CARDfFF I A great attraction is announced for next week at the New Theatre, Cardiff, in the shape of a visit from the celebrated come- dian, Mr. Lionel Rignold. who will appear in the successful oomedy, "The Early \V orm," which comes direct from Wyndham's I Theatre, London. The play abounds in ingenious situations and side-splitting inci- dents, and is without a dull moment through- out. Mr. Rignold has in The Worm" a part after his own heart, which fits him like a glove, and to see him is to laugh. He is supported by a powerful London cast, which will include Mrs. Lionel Rignold (Miss Marie j Daltra), who, by the way, is a native of Wales, her father being the late Mr. Isaac Davies, C.E., J.P., of Brecon, who was for so long associated with the Beaufort and Tredegar Estates. The scenery and dresses a.re exceptionally good. The yacht scene, especially, is a great feature of the play, and is a fine example of scenic realism. This alone is worth seeing. All who appre- ciate a hearty laugh should take the oppor- tunity of paying a visit to the New Theatre next week, where seats should be at a premium.
SEE PLOWDEN AND DIE I
SEE PLOWDEN AND DIE I "I am a travelling poet," said a little old man to Mr. Plowden at the Marylebone Court yesterday, "and have seen and heard all the famous men of the present genera- tion. I ha.ve come to see and hear the far- famed Mr. Plowden. Mr. Plowden: Wiiat is your legal complaint? The Poet: What is' my cheapest and quickest mode (as I am not a millionaire) of suing the Great Western Railway for giving uip my bag at Gloucester. Mr. Plowden: You must go to a. solicitor if you want advice on that point. The Poet: I have achieved my objeot. I have seen all the sights of London, and now I have seen you, and that is sufficient. I am now going back to the American, continent. Hoorah!
WORLD'S LONGEST BRIDCEI

Each cable, capable of sustaining a weight of 40,000 tons, will be 2ft. in diameter, and composed of many wires laid parallel to each other, but not twisted. The cost will be borne by the States iof New York and New Jersey.
ITHE PALACE, CARDIFF
THE PALACE, CARDIFF Consul," the almost human ape, in his l exemplification of the Darwinian theory, direct from his season at the London Hippo- drome, will make his debut to a Cardiff audience next week. Apart from his suocess at the Hippodrome, he was the special feature of the Hungarian Exhibition at Earl's Court, London. "Consul" is justly described as almost human. He always lives with a human family, occupies an ordinary bed, is always garbed in perfectly human attire, and ca.ts the same food as any ordinary being.

IP-unished for Snoring
IP-unished for Snoring GIRL'S STORY OF AUNT'S CRUELTY "Were .you kept out of bed ?" Yes, from twelve o'clock at night until 7.30 next morn- ing." "Why were you punished like that?"— "Because I snored." This was some. of the evidence given at the London Sessions yesterday by Amy Whittaker, a girl of ten, when her aunt—a refined-looking woman, named Charlotte Noble, was found guilty of neglecting, assaulting, and maliciously inflicting bodily harm on her, and sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Mr. Clarke Hall, who prosecuted for the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children, said that the child was sent to the accused eighteen months ago, and was treated kindly at. first, but afterwards with great cruelty. YThen. removed to the hospi- tal her life was at first in danger, and the magistrate had examined her as she lay in bed. It might be necessary to amputate two of her fingers. Medical evidence was given as to the con- dition of the child. There were fifty bruises on her body. Her scalp, forehead, and left eye were bruised Her Eyes Were Bleeding and Inflamed her hands were bruised and swollen, and her body generally was bruised. She wae almost skin and bone. There was a stir in court as the child was carried into court by a policeman and, sitting in a hospital chaiir noax the Judge, gave her evidence. Her aunt, she said, used to knock her down and pull her up by berhadr, and it was thus that her hair had been pulled out. Going down stairs she had knocked her eyes, and then her aunt had struck her across them with a stick. She could not see for several days after. She was bit nearly every day, sometimes -with a haidbrush. She did not have enough to eat, and her aunt once 'gave Iber nothing from 10.30 on Sunday inornins until 1.J5 o Tuesday. The postman's wife, however, had given her food on the Monday. In cross-examination she said that she had hung up her stocking at Christmas, and her aunt or Santa Olaus had put things in it. "I found it ifullup of jolly tilings." A. doll, produced in court, she had bought with money given her by 'this aunt and another aunt. Giving evidence, the accused said the child 'had everythinng she wanted, and was only onoe deprived of a tmeal for telling a false- hood. The mother of the child said that her, sifter was the "kindest of girls," and had never denied the child anything.
