Ystori y Ddau Ddarlun. PENOD IV. DAEGANFOD Y H TRAMP." Wedi yr amgylchiad a gofnodwyd yn y bennod flaenorol, yr oedd Arthur Jones yn ddigalon ei wala, a melldithiai ei ffawd anffodus. Wele efe wedi teithio dros gyfandir a chyfanfor i weled y ddwy a garai yn ftnad neb arall yn yr holl fyd. Ac wele ef yn cvrhaedd adref i weled y naill yn cael ei chipio gan angeu ar Hall gan ryw garwr cryfach a chyfrwysach nag ef. Teimlai yn unig ac isel. Tybiai mai goreu po gyntaf iddo ddychwelyd i wlad y gorllewin. Unwaith eto tynodd y ddau ddarlun o'i logell, a myfyriai ar y triciau yr oedd ffawd wedi chwareu ag ef er pan ddaeth y ddau lun i'w law y tro cyntaf. Erbyn hyn yr oedd Hun ei fam yn anwyl- ach yn ei olwg nag erioed, ond am y llall —wel penderfynodd ei daflu i'r tan. Aeth i gyfeiriad y pentan i roddi ei fwr- iad mewn gweithrediad, pan y clywodd gnoc trwm ar y drws. Dododd y ddau lun yn ei logell yn frysiog, ac aeth at y drws. Gwynebwyd ef pan agbrodd y drws gan grwydryn truenus yr clwg, yr ¡ hwn a ofynai yn Seisnig am help. Er pan ddychrynwyd ei fam gan un I rhywogaeth lion nid oedd gan Arthur Jones lawer o gydymdeimlad ar,dosbtrtli trampyddol. Tueddwyd ef yn gyntaf i gau y drws yn wyneb y crwydryn, end daeth tuedd arall yn ei lie, ataliodd ei law, a dododd hi jn y llogell lie y cadivai ei bwrs. "A! mab dy fam ydwyt ti, mi welaJ," meddai y crwydrvn yn Gymraeg. Dych- rynodd Arthur, ac edrychodd yn myw iVgaid y tramp. Yr wyt yn cael syndod, machgen i," jrchwanegai y crwydryn. 'Wel, mi gei ragor os oes digon o azaynedd genyt i wrando fy stori. Gad i mi ddweyd wrthyt yn gynta' taw fi oedd y tramp a dorodd mewn i'r ty y diwrnod y de'st ti yn ol o Galiffornia, ac a barodd y fath ddychryn i dy fam, druan. Yr wt' i wedi dod i'r ardal i roi fy hun i fyny Ù. Police" ond meddyliais y buaswn yn dod yma yn gyntaf i siarad' a thi. Yn awr yr wy' yn dy law di, gwna fel y b'ot yn dewis a mi. Ond gwn beth a fuasai dy fam yn wneyd." Tybiai Arthur ei fed yn clywed cryn- dod yn llais y crwydryn. Aeth y diwedd- af yn mlaen a'i stori. H Nid wy'n gofyn am drugaredd o gwbl. Yr wy' wedi cyrhaedd stad nad wy'n hidio beth ddaw o honwyf. Ond mi leic- iWI: ddweyd tipyn yIl rhagor wrthyt cyn yr af i ddwylaw y 'police/ os mai dyna fydd fy nhynged. Gwelaf fy mod yn dy ddychrynu. Y dydd o'r blaen dychrynais dy fam. Ond nid dyna y tro cyntaf i mi achosi poen a dychryn i chwi. Gwnaethum hyny ilynyddau yn ol. Yr wyt mewn penbleth, mi welaf, ac yn ceisio dyfalu pwy ydwyf. Arthur Jones, fi yw dy dad, Huw Jones! Dadglowyd tafod Arthur, yr hwn yd- oedd hyd yn hyn wedi bod yn hollol fuel er pan anerchwyd ef gan y gwr dieithr. « Delyn dieithr!" mecldai y bachgen gyda thipyn o sarugrwydd yn ei wedd ac yn ei lais, yr oeddwn yn barod i/ch helpu pan dybiais mai cardotyn mewn cyfyngder oeddych, ac hyd y nod wedi i chwi gydnabod mai chwi oedd y dyn a ddychrynodd fy mam i farwolaeth yr ceddwn yn tueddu i facldeu i chwi, ond yn awr pan yr ydych, er mwyn cyrhaedd rhyw amcan annheilwng, yn defnyddio ffug a chehvydd, ni bydd i mi arbed 'im- postor' o'ch hath." Fug, celwydd ac 'impostor' mecldai j crwydryn. Wyddost ti, machgen i. Estyn y Beibl Teuluaidd yna sydd ar y fcwrdd, ac edrych os nad yw 'entries' < • prioclas dy fam a minau a dy eni dithau yn gymhwys fel hyn." Adroddodd y dyn dieithr yr a'r dyddiadau ya gymhwys fel yr oeddynt. Ni chymerodd Arthur y drafferth i edrych y Beibl. Yr oedd yn eithaf cyfarwydd a'r entries" crybwylledig, ac yr oedd y tramp" wedi adrodd pob llythyren a ffigyr yn iawn. Yr oedd y bachgen druan mewn penbleth ofnadwy. Torodd allan 0'1' diwedd: 'Hall hi ddim bod. Mi ga'dd fy nhad i ei ddiwedd drwy foddi yn yr afon. Waeth i chwi heb dreio gwneyd stori. Oni welais i y bont wedi cael ei chario ymaith, ac oni welais i ol traed fy nhad ar yIan ?" "Efallai, end welodd neb ei gorpli yn yr afon ai do fe? Na, mae yr hen gorph yma wedi cael llawer o gam, ac wedi myned trwy dreialon rhyfedd. Ond chafodd e' ddim o'i olchi gyda'r Hi" eto, machgen i. O:s byddi yn amyneddgar am ychydig bach mi ddywedaf y cwbl wrthyt ti, a gwna fel y b'ot yn dewis a fi wedyn. (I'w Barhau.)

Pills v. Liquid Medicine. Many people have no hesitation in taking a dozen bottles of medicine in liquid form prescribed by a doctor, but view with alarm the suggestion to take a course of pills.

MOESE'S INDIAN ROOT PILLS, however, are not meioly purgatives, acting upon the bowels only, but contain more important properties, which correct all disorders of the Blood, Liver, and Kidneys, and the "I I I -1 oiiomacn, evidence ot winch is not want- I ing.

Public Services I Recognised. —— Presentation to Mrs D. M. j Richards, Aberdare. I A unique and interesting presentation meeting took place at the Judge's Room, New Theatre, on Monday evening, when Mrs D. M. Richards. Wenallt, received at the hands of an influential and re- presentative list of subscribers a most valuable and handsome solid silver tea service, and an illuminated album and address bound in Morocco, i Mr W. Thomas, High Constable of Miskin Higher, presided over a crowded attendance. Among those present were Mr D. P, Davies, J.P., Mrs J. M. Jones (Tabernacle), Mrs G. M. Evans, Mrs R. H. Miles, Mrs Watkinsj Cross street, Mr and Mrs T. Thomas, Stuart street, Mr and Mrs Ogwen Williams, Mr W. R. Williams, B.Sc., Mr Thomas (Co-oper- ative), Mr J. D. Hughes, Mr., Morgan Watkins, &c. The chairman said he had received several letters of apology from sub- scribers who could not attend that meet- ing. Sir T. Marchant Williams, wiring from Porthcawl, said he was extremely sorry he could not attend, Mr D. A. Thomas, M.P., wrote as follows:- I am exceedingly sorry that I can- not be present at Mrs D. M. Richards' testimonial and presentation on Monday, as I am going up to London on that day to keep several important appoint- ments. I hope the presentation will prove a very successful one. Mrs Richards has given a great amount of attention and energy to public work, and I know of no one who so thoroughly deserves the testimonial you are giving her as does Mrs Richards." Mr J. D. Thomas, solicitor, Mr A. W. Houlson, J.P., Dowlais, Rev J. M. Jones, M.A., and others had also written re- gretting inability to be present and wisHng the company a good meeting. The chairman went on to say that ib had given him great pleasure to take Mrs Richards then responded. She remarked that it was exactly 40 years ago that she first saw Aberdare, She called to see some friends here and did not intend staying more than a few days, but she had been here ever since, (Laughter and applause). It was 10 years later that her marriage with Mr Richards took place. She had always liked plenty of work and she had had it. With regard to her public work on the Guardians and the Education Com- mittee, she had tried to be faithful. They could not all be clever and brilliant, but they could all be faithful, and she claimed to have been faithful to her duties. (Hear, hear), She would not refer to her work on the Education Committee. In connection with her work as Guardian, she had been a mem- ber of the Ladies' Visiting Committee, She was a member of that committee some years ago when Mr D. P.. Davies was a Guardian, She was fast becoming one of the senior members on the Guardians.* In conclusion Mrs Richards thanked all who had subscribed towards that presentation and thanked all who had attended the meeting. She felt glad that the testi- monial was not arranged in connection with her departure from the town. She intended to remain in Aberdare and to go on with her work (applause). Up to now it had been her proud boast that she had never received, with one exception, a farthing for her public services. That exception was when a poor woman brought her 3d. worth of potatoes (laugh- ter). She again thanked all for their presents, and expressed the hope that she would be able to invite them all to partake of a cup of tea from that magni- ficent silver tea set. Mr, D. M.Richards, on behalf of the Misses Richards and himself, further thanked all for their presence and sup- port. He moved a very cordial vote of thanks to the High Constable for presid- ing- Mr. Morris (G.W.R.) seconded and Mr Thomas briefly acknowledged. MRS.

About C50 had been received, X45 of which had been paid for the very hand- some silver tea service and the re- mainder for the beautiful address. Sub- scriptions bad come in from all classes and from all parts of the district. This went to show that Mrs Richards' good services were being appreciated, and he hoped that she would enjoy many more years to continue her use- ful work. There were many poor people who could testify to the kindness shown by Mrs Richards. Mr Thomas then read the address and asked Mrs' Richards to accept it, also the silver tea service, with the good wishes of all present. Mr D. P. Davies said he was pleased to be present to join the company in their appreciation of Mrs Richards' ser- vices. He had had the pleasure of sitting with Mrs Richards on the Board of Guardians and on the Education Committee. She had always been most attentive to her duties and had always been most careful and painstaking in fulfilling her obligations. She had many and many a time gone to considerable trouble to ascertain the circumstances of various families whose cases came before the Guardians. He had great pleasure in wishing her long life. Mr John James, Tudor terrace, speak- ing in Welsh, said he had known Mrs Richards since she was a girl. She used to attend Bethel Churchy Gadlys, and he well remembered her reciting in the pulpit. He was glad to learn that she was now a useful member of Tabernacle Church.

Williams, Mr T. Thomas, Mrs Watkins, Mrs Davies, Brook street, Aberaman, and Mrs J. M. Jones.
