ISTORY FOR TO-DAY. r Played and Lost. I j A slight, pale-faced girl sat silently toying with a piece of needlework on the low porch of her mother's house; a handsome young man lay stretched at her feet. On the lawn another young couple were engaged in a game cf croquet. The sun's last gleam lighted up Grace Munson's face with a halo of beauty, and Bernard Norton looked at her with undisguised admiration. There is nothing so lovely as a lovely woman," he said aloud. The pale cheek of Clarice Barton flushed as she quickly glanced at the speaker. It was the thi:-d time within the hour that he had referred to her cousin Grace's beauty. "Grace is indeed lovely," she said. "I would give half my life to be ag beautiful." "And I would give half my fortune to have yen so." o sooner were the words uttered than Norton would have given much to recall them; but he had spoken unthinkingly. Clarice shrunk as though she had been stung, arose quickly, and went into the house. "I am in a pretty fix now! Norton mut- tered as he rose and walked across the lawn. That was a nice speech for a fellow to make to the girl he expects to marry! And Clarice is as proud as Lucifer, too high strung as she is plain, and that is saying a great deal, by Jove. I never noticed her lack of beauty so much before Grace came. A pity one can't find all things combined in one woman. Wonder if I ought to apologise? Oh, well, I'm going away in ten days, and she'll for- give and forget. Absence makes the heart softer." And with this consoling thought he strolled on to join Grace Munson, whose companion was just taking his leave. That evening Clarice did not appear in the drawing-room, and Bernard was free to devote himself to her lovely cousin. Mrs. Barton observed his conduct with displea- sure; from the first she had not approved of her (Üughter's suitor, and wondered what* attraction the careless, frivolous young man held foir her sensible Clarice. Next morning a note was handed Norton. Its contents filled him with mingled annoy- ance and relief. "When you receive this," Clarice wrote, "I shall have gone to my aunt for a time. You do not love me. Bernard, and it is best for our engagement to end. Bo happy in your own way, and he very sure I shall be in mine." That was all. and Bernard's self-esteem was seriously wounded by the epistle. But he consoled himself with the thought that he was now free to wco the charming Grace, and at the end of a month made a formal avowal of love to her. "I have loved you since we met," he 6aid. Clarice saw this, and generously eet me free." And Grace, who had become very much enamoured of her handsome suitor, g-Ve him the answer he craved. Two weeks later Mrs. Barton and Clarice were on their way to Europe, and Bernard was trying to submit to the stern decree of Grace's father. Yes, sir, you can marry my daughter," Mr. Munson had said, if you love her well enough to wait three years. I am oppo-ed to early marriages. Xo girl is fit for wedlock before -Tie is twenty-one, and twenty-five is still better." It occurred to Bernard that he was likelv to spend the greater part of his youth in the capacity of an engaged man," and he did not improve in humour thereby. Grace was an acknowledged belie, and for a time he was pleased at her success. But there was a secret bitterness underlying his pleasure, for he saw little of his betrothed except in society's whirlpool. There would be no change in this state of affairs until their time of probation ended, and, feeiing in a false position he concluded to spend the remaining year in travel. When he bade Grace good-bye, he was struck with the fact that she looked mucn older that she did at the time of their engage- ment. Two years of dissipation had left their mark upon her delicate btmuty. "Be careful, Grace," he said. "Keep fome of your roses for me until I claim you." He said nothing of her fidelity; he was only afraid she might loss the beauty he wor- shipped. Bernard loitered here and there, and then made his way slowly back. lie was in no haste to reach Chicago until a few weeks before the time appointed for his marriage which was to take pia.ee in early autumn One morning in July he rang the bell of the Munson mansion and sent up his card to the ladies. There was a step on the stair, the trail of a; garment, and a woman entered, a woman of medium height, with a beautifully rounded figure, and a face of dazzling bril- liancy. She approached Bernard and cor- dially cxteinded her hand. "I came down to make your welcome a little less iuh-orpittble, Mr. Norton," she -said "My autlt and oouc-in are, unfortunately, at a, concert; they were not aware of your return. Yon are quite well? I do not, find Ii you so much changed as I expected." He gazed at the charming speaker in mute wonder. "I beg p.a.rdon-I-I- he began. Her lace was a ripple of smiles as the regarded him, waiting for him to proceed. "Is it possible I ain go changed that you do not know me? Have three years aged Clarice Barton so much?" For the first time in his life Bernard Norton Ictst his composure. He tank into a aha.ir with an ejaculation of wonder. "Clarice Barton!" he cried. "Why, it does not seem, possible! When did you return?" "Nearly two months ago." Miss Barton replied with her well-bred composure as she gracefully seated herself. "My dear mother died in Rome last winter; Europe was un- endurable after that, so I came baoc-k to America-. "But, you a,re so changed!" Bernard mur- mured, alter expressing regret at her loss. Miss Barton smiled sadly. "Three years change us aLl," she said; "they leave their mark." "Oh, it is not that!" he hastened to say. "You look not a day older than when I last saw you; but-pardon my boldness—you are wonderfully improved." I am like my mother's people," Clarice answered quietly. "They all mature late, and the climate of Italy, where I remained most of the time, was very beneficial to me. I hope to return in the course of a few months." They fell to talking of their troubles, and twelve o'clock struck before Norton thought they had been chatting twenty minutes. At that moment the hall door clanged, and steps came towards them. He arose to his feet. "Impossible!" he said. looking at his watch. "I cannot have been here an hour. Really—" What he would have said remained un- spoken, for Mrs. Munson and Grace appeared in the doorway. His betrothed was very becomingly dresaed, but eo faded that she seemed like the ghost of her former self. Three years of s<>eicTy had done their work. The cheek had lost its bloom, the nose was sharpened, and the beautiful eyes lacked lustre. As she stood beside Clarice for a moment she seemed utterly eclipsed by her once plump cousin. The meeting of the lovers was constrained, and Bernard took -his departure, promising to call next day, which he did. Grace informed him that he must wait patiently for two more weeks before he could see her often, as she had engagements for every hour. "But you and Clarice can console each other," she said. "It will be pleasant to com- pare notes of travel." Bernard was not slow to avail himself of this opportunity, and for two bright, brief weeks he walked, talked, drove, and chatted with the charming women whom he had once slighted. What a blind fool he had been! It was Clarice he loved, Clarice he had always loved. She was the boy's fancy, and the man's ideal. It was this cultured, interesting woman who suited him, and not the faded, frivolous Grace. He grew mad with pain and rage as he realised his posi- tion. He walked into the parlour one afternoon. where Clarice was playing softly. Clarice." he cried, my own Clarice, I cannot be longer ei!?nt! I love you—I have always loved you. Years ago you cast me off for a foolish whim, and I tried to con- tent myself by forming other ties. I know now that [ have never forgotten you. Clarice, take me back agin His voice was trembling with emotion; but she stood coldly regarding hfm. and her voice was very hard as she said: "Mr. Norton, I cannot excuse this behaviour. I loved you once very dearly, but you made me ashamed of that love, and I cast it out. I have for three yeari thought of you as my cousin's betrothed, a.lmœt her husband, and yon insult both her and me by your con- duct. I suppose you know that I am to be married as soon ad my term of mourning expires. Allow me to pasa." She swept by him like a queen. The alcove curtains parted and Grace stood before him. "I have heard all." she said. Go. and never let me see your face again." She dropped the shining solitaire which she had worn so long into his hand and pointed towards ihe door. With bowed head he left her presence and went down the marble steps for the last time. He had played for each in turn and lost both.

Big Easter Match. I LEAGUES TO PLAY AT CARDIFF ONI WEDNESDAY. Bciug the last big match of the season, it is ouly natural that exceptional interest should be taken in next Wednesday's match on the Cardiff Anns Park. The Glamorgan and Monmouthshire League players will wear white jerseys, and the Cardiff and Newport men will sport t.he bold blue and black. In the Rhondda especially a quiet confidence exists in the ability of the league forwards to have ",0 much of the play as to prevent the opposing pack giving their clever backs any scoring opportunities, while they aL-<> lay great stor3 upon Cliff Pritchard, J. P. Jones, Teddy Morgan, and Llewellyn proving equal both in attack and defence to Gwyn Nicholls, R. T. Ga.be, Cecil Biggs, and J. L. Williams. It will be a rare treat in itself to see Gwyn Nicholls and Pritchard opposed to each other once again, and this will pro- bably be the last time. Teddy Morgan will probably play opposite Cecil Biggs, and J. L. William-3 ajamst Llewellyn, while Gabe will be facing J. P. Jones, who is practically certain of international honours next season. At haif-back also there will be an interesting struggle between Percy Bush and Vile on the one side, and Harvey and Hillman on the league side. Those who witnessed the last East v. West match will remember for many years the fine game played by Bush and Vile against Dicky Owen and Dick Jones. With regard to the forwards, two better packs could not possibly have been chosen, and there is every prospect of a real great fight in front. We understand that some tickets for the reserved seats in the two centre blocks of the grand stand are still obtainable from Mr. C. S. Arthur, the Cardiff Club secretary. The kick-off is timed for 4.30, and after the match the two teams will dine together at the Queen s Hotel. WILL LEAGUE FORWARDS I HOLD THE UPPER HAND P Interesting Letter from an Old I International. A correspondent, who signs himzelf An OLd International," writes a long letter, out of which we make the following extractis:- Living, as I do, among the colliers, I know something of their opinions of forward play, and I ca,n tell you they are all looking for- wa.rd to the league eight playing such a game as will'give pont to the complaint that the Rhondda element should have been overlooked in this season's international matches. In common with thousands of others, I believe the Welsh Union Match Committee made an unfortunate mis-take in not playing a couple of our forwards against Ireland, and some of us are in agree- ment with the opinion which, I understand, prevails in Cardiff that Percy Bush ougfht to have been selected with R. Da.vid or Tommy Vile, of Newport, who played such a groat game with the Cardiff captain in one of the East v. West mutches. But, though it is too late to cry over the lost triple crown, it is not too la,te to benefit by the experience, and that is one of the reasons why those of us who believe in the efficacy of what is called the Rhondda. element hope to see the justification of our faith in next Wednesday's match. The leagues have a fine opportunity of proving their real strength not only in front but at the rear of the scrum. The league three-quarter line, in my opinion, is of international class, and if they I are well served by Harvey and Hillman we shall see a display of football worthy of the reputations of these players. We look to Cliff Pritchard and Teddy Morgan especially to be of great service to the side, and in only a little less degree to J. P. Jones and Llewellyn. Both the latter are young players far above ttae average class. To my way of thinking the leagues team is a sound and well-balanced one, and as one who has played the game and tokeit an interest ;n league football for some years I hope to see "our boys" making a. good show.

STRAWBERRIES AND CREAMI GrONTogethep on a Plant. I Stra-wberries amdcream grown together on a plant—this is the remarkable news fare placed before its readers by an American journal, which in charity we shall leave nameiets. Mr. Akrazo Murphy, of Morristown, New Jersey, we are told, claims to have achieved this remarkable feat, and he hopes to be able to furnish the fruit shops thi& summer with strawberries and cream direct from the hand of nature. Mr. Murphy, being an imaginative farmer, dreamed that he could accomplish this by a judicious crossing of the milkwe-ed and the strawberry. Last autumn be grafted several strawberry plants on the milkweed. One grew sturdily close to Mr. Murphy's kitchen range, and was. in full fruitage when, alas! the fire went out, and it succumbed to the cold. Mr. Murphy says that each strawberry when examined was found to contain a quantity of cream varying from a few drops to a teaspoonful, depending on the size of the berry. He believes be will have a large supply I ready for the summer strawberry season. At leartt, the American paper in question declares that he believes tbis.

INDEFINITELY POSTPONED. She was an economical, industrious, a.nd I ambitious young wife, and often trioo to persuade her husband to give up smoking. One day she pointed out to him, in exact figures, how much he spent on tobacco in the course of a. year. "And you would be better off," she said, "mentally and physically, as well as finan- cially, without your pipe." "But all great men have smoked," he urged. "Well," she said. "just promise me that youïl give up smoking till you're great. I'll be quite satisfied."

Detective in Hiding. I EARLY MORNING SCENE IN WOOD I STREET. An incident in Wood-street, Cardiff, in the early hours of yesterday morning was related at Cardiff Police-eourt .to-day, when Morris Shannon, 22, and Denis Koohan, twenty, were charged with attempting to s,t-eal from the person of Benjamin Davies. The prisoners were also cha.rged for that, being reputed thieves, they loitered in Wood- street for the purpose of committing a felony on the morning of the 13th cf April. The Prosecutor, who is a commission agent, said he was in Wood-street about one o'clock on Friday morning. The prisoners came to him and asked for the loan of six- pence to buy a 4-gallon cask of beer. Alderman E. Thomas: Did you give it in fear of them?-Well, I wanted to get away. I had a drop, you see, sir. Alderman Thomas: Did you give this as a matter of gcod fellowship or to get rid of them?-—I wanted to get off. It was getting late. Witness added that he told them that he could not give them any more mO!1!ey, and they then put their hands in his pocket. He ran away and they followed. One of the prisoners ca-ught him by the neck and the, other tjtruck him. They placed their hands II in his pockets, and he believed he had lost a portion of 12s. he had in his possession. He held them until the arrival of Detectixe- eergeant Dicks. David Harrington corroborated the main portion of the prosecutor's story. He declared that Shannon struck Davies, and whilst Kechan held him by the neck Shannon placed his hand in Davies's pocket. He called for help, and Detective Dicks came to the prosecutor's assistance. Detectivc-sergeant Dicks said he had the prisoners under observation for some time. He hid near the church, and hearing a scuffle ran out and saw the prisoners with Davies. Keohan had his arms around the prosecutor's neck to stifle any noise. Shannon had his hand in Davies's pocket. Ho took the two prisoners into custody. Keohan then said they had only asked Davies for sixpence towards the payment of a. four and a half gallon cask of beer. On the way to the police-station Shannon placed his left hand in his pocket, and appeared to be searching for something. When searched witness found one penny on Keohan. There was no money in Shannon's pockets. The prisoners were committed for trial at the next assizes for the county.

Young Mother's Crime INTEREST AROUSED IN CARDIFF. I Some interest has been aroused in Cardiff by the news of the murder of a child at Isle- worth by a young mother (who then com- mitted euicide) owing to the similarify of the name of the husband (Camillo Fontana) to that ot an Iteliaa family who were residents of Cardiff some six or seven years ago. A roan named Camillo Fontana. formerly lived in the town, and was well-known by his fellow-countrymen of the Italian colony iu the city. The father of Camillo came to Cardiff from Bordeaux, and worked as a sculptor off Castle-road. Ho was very skilful I at his work, and was assisted in business by Camillo. Fontana, senior, used to lodge with Mr. Burrnetti, boarding-house-keeper, 126, Bute-road. The two left for Paris, where the elder Fontana died some five or six year3 ago.

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS I "Arguer" (Canton).—A Rugby foothaller having once played for one country cannot, under the rules, subsequently play for another. However, there is the case of Dr. Marsh, of Swinton, on record, who played for both England and Scotland. That was before the present rule was passed. J. Jenkins (Brynmawr).—Magee did not score for Ireland against Walts at Cardiff iii 1899. Only one try was scored in the whole matoh, ami that by G. P. Doran.

Loston the River Bank BURIED UP TO THE NECK IN MU An elderly womaji dwelling in the Ternes district, Paris, has just had a most. extra- ordinary experience, and ene now lies in the Beaujou hospital more dead than alive-- indeed, she is almost in a state of delirium produced by terror. Her escape (writes the Paris correspondent of the Daily Tele- graph") has been marvellous, and is dne rather to happy.chance than to anything else, as but for the fact that two residents at Courbovoie happened to be in her neigh- bourhood at the early hour of five in tho morning. she must inevitably have perished in an awful manner, sinking in the mud of tho Seine, in which she had become engulfed until only her nock and head were visible above it. The two men who saved the poor woman were on their way to their daily toil,- when they heard groans emanating from the wet soil bolow the quay along which they were walking. They hurried to the bank, and after looking about them for a while they caught sig'ht of a haggard face, whence low cries proceeded. Several policemen were passing at the time, and they assisted in the work of rescue. Spades and ropes were called into requisition, but it took upwards of half .all hour to free the poor creature from the mud into which she had sunk. A. litter was brought, and she was conveyed to the nearest relief station, where she was carefully tended, and at last she had re- gained sufficient strength to give an account of her awful adventure. She had started alone for Courbevoie on the previous even- ing, and when she had reached the river bank had lost her way in the darkness, which I had in the meanwhile come on. The W,,n. she tried to get back on to the usual path '.he worse had her position become. In the course of her wanderings she plunged right into the thick mud, and every effort to return to firm ground proved vain. From eight o'clock that evening until five on the following morning she had gradually siink lower and lower, with a lingering death before her all the time.
