To-day's Short Story.
To-day's Short Story. THEODORE'S SACRIFICE In a certain pretty town of France, situ- ated 'between Nantes and Tours, on the River Loire, there stood at the time of our story a number of very pretty dwellings, each with its little balcony, its vine-wreathed harbour, and its garden full of gay flowers, set about with a high stone wall, in the midst of which stood a prodigious gute. bolted and barred "within as though a hundred burglars were expected every night. If it had not been for this precaution it would not have been esteemed proper for Mademoiselle IBosine Michaud to walk so often between th" borders, or sit so much under the eld pear trees in her father's garden. Young French Ladies were then guarded very careiuily by their parents, and entire seclusion was their portion during <iheir maidenhood. No one was more rigid in ftear-d to this matter than Monsieur Michafld. Not that Monsieur Michaud intended to doom his daughter to celibacy; he had already shosen a husband for her in the person of che son of an old friend, Monsieur Thibault, who was equally anxious for an alliance oetween the families. And, strange to say, the young people thAis beltrothed were very much in love with each other. Ever since, he, a little boy playing with other boys in the road without his father's gate, bad seen Rosine Michaud, in her taill, white, crimped cap and baby shoes of pinii kid, toddle by, clinging to the hand or her nurse, he had had an admiration, for her; and Rosine had felt Fate only too kind to her in giving her an affianced husband like Theodore Xnibaalt, when it might have been someone whom she detested. Everything was in fine train—the papers ;made out,, the little house which M. Thibault vas to bestow upon the bridegroom already furnished, piles of white muslin in the seam- stresses' hands, and the very ring bought— -when an awful thing occurred. M. Michaud and M. Thksault, sitting down to dominoes one line day, -fell into a quarrel. At first, merely a polite one; then an angry j one; then a furious one. M. Michaud oalied .M Thibault a cheat, and M. Thibault called M. Michaud a liar. M. Thibault gathered tthe dominoes in has hands, and wa".aoout to j burl them at the head of M. Michaud. He thought better of it, and caught up his hat, stuck it on his head all sideways, crammed his fists into his pockets, alid, ivithout an "adieu, marched out of the house calling to his son to follow him. The end of the affair was a dissolution of the matrimonial engagement between itoeine and Theodore. In vain Theodore remonstrated. In vain, Bosine wept. The old gentlemen were not to be moved by the unhappiness of the children. All the deeds that had been drawn up were cancelled. The little house which had been furnished for the bride and bridegroom, was let to an English gentleman sojourning in the place, and the lovers were forbidden to speak another word to each other as long i ais they lived. Perhaps it was worse for Theodore than for Bosine. She was permitted to weep as muoh as she chose. It was only natural that she should be found sitting disconsolate under the paar trees, and she could eat no dinner and refused herself to callers. Her mother felt great sympathy for her, and her father felt grieved that he could not make her happy. But Theodore, whose feelings were probably stronger, amd who felt the injustice of the old man's conduct more poignantly because he was not so used to consider his parent's word law, was forced to attend to business, to talk to his father's customers, to appear in every way as usual, and was not allowed a moment of private conversation with the old gentleman. Bosine grew sad, but Theo- dore grew angry. She gave up all hope; he began to plan a meeting. At last, having bribed Rosine's maid to keep his secret, he confided to the hands of the girl a letter; to her mistress, in winch he begged her to steal from the house that night, and wait tinder the pear tree beside the garden wall llntil he should come to her. Rosine, who never disobeyed her parent in her life, felt as guilty as though she were about to commit a murder when she stole out of the little side door to keep the rendezvous: but, nevertheless, her heart beat high with hope at the thought of meeting Theodore once, more. And when at last she saw through the darkness a form rise above the wall, stand upon it a moment, and pro- ceed to ascend by means of a rope which was fastened on the other side, she with difficulty refrained from screaming aloud. "Theodore," she whispered; "oh, Theodore, that it should be wrong for me to meet thee; that we, who werf. once betrothed lovers, should come to this." « But the next moment he had caught her hands, and kissed them, and she forgot all tut that they were together. That was the firstt meeting, but it was not the last. Night after night when the old people were asleep, and in his own chamber a mile or two away M. Thibault snored peacefully, Theodore and Bosine sat side by side in the garden under the pear trees more familiarly than they ever had before, while Nanertate, the maid, kept watch without the little side door. All this had been going on for some time, when one night Boeine took her usual place to wiait for Theodore. She heard the stealthy step as usual. She saw the lithe form mount the wall and stand in full relief against the golden moon, just at that moment rising. Then a, faint cry of horror fell upon her ear, and it vanished from her sight. There was a dull thud upon the earth without—a groan, silence. Theodore had slipped and fallen to the ground. For some moments he remained insensible; Rosine, nearly mad with terror, stood wringing her hands within tlie garden. Her maid, who had seen ail, hurried down the path. Neither of the girls knew what was best to do. At last Nanette, a stout young peasant girl, olambered up into the largest pear tree, and managed to get her chin on a level with the wall. She could not see any- thing below, but she heard a movement. M. Theodore," she whispered; "speak if you can. My mistress is nearly frightened to death. A faint voice replied to her: Give my love to your mistress. I am not much hurt, but it will be best for me to go home now. I think there has been some noise. And then the two giris ran indoors; Rosine in. a terrible state of agitation. She knew that Theodore had been more injured than he would confess. And this, indeed, wa,3 true. He had broken his arm, and felt a deathly faintaess creeping' over him. His one hope was to manage to get far enough from the house of old Michaud, to prevent any sus- picion of the manner in. which he had met with his accident; and at the first turning he left the street and hrurrie-d on, hoping to procure e-c,me assistance before he lost the power of speech and motion. At laet, amidst the darkened windows, he saw one in which a light burnt. Drawing nearer, he saw that the door stood open, and heard some noise within. His strength was nearly gone. He made use of what remained to staigger under the doorway and fell prone at the foot of the stairs, just as an old man in a nightgown, with a candle in one hand and a poker in the other, rushed down them, shouting at the top of his voice, "Thieves! Murder! Hølp! Police, police!" This old main was Pierre Blanc, a reputed miser, who had just before awakened to find two masked men in the room, one of whom held him on while the other plundered his cash box. After much struggling he had succeeded in dealing one of the rascals a heavy blow with a cudgel, which he always kept under his pillow, and had been knocked senseless in return. When he came to himself he was in perfect darkness, and it had taken him some time to strike a light; but, to his great joy when he had done so, he found, as he supposed, one of the robbers lying wounded, on the door of his house. The old man's shouts soon brought assis- tance, and he told his story, ae people usually do, in a manner which reflected most credit upon himself. He de-clared he had defended himself against both robbers and wounded one; "and there he lay, the rasoai before them." But this is Theodore Thibault, the son of old Moasieur- Thibault," ,;riod one of the assembled group. "He is no robber, Monsieur." "Nevertheless, it is all as I have said," declared Pierre Blanv. And on his word the poor wounded Theo- dore was carried to prison. It was some time before he understood the charge that had boo;1 m,-ido against him; but when he did he at once formed a noble resolution. Suffer what he might, shame, imprisonment, whatever it might be, he wculd guard Bcsine's honour. No one should ever know that it was endeavouring to meet, her lalone at midnight in the garden or her father's house that he had met with the accident. The day of his trial oame at last. The court was crowded. Pierre Blanc was ready to swear to his story. The policemen and -neighbours were witnesses to the fact that Theodore bad been found lying insensible at the foot of the miser's staircase on the might of the robbery. The prisoner himself only had his position and good character in his favour. Not a word would he utter in his own behalf save a simple assertion of his innocence. Old M. Thibault was weeping like a child. M. Michaud had always liked tihe young fellow, and his heart even softened to his old friend in his affliction; the prisoner only was calm. All was over. Ncxtihiing .more could be said. The final proceedings were about to be taken, and none believed that the prisoner could possibly escafpe the sentence of the law, when suddenly there was a stir near the door, and tho crowd .parted to admit two persons who forced their way towards the benoh on which the justice sat. One was a lady closely veiled. The other a peasant maid. At the sight of the pair old Michaud started to his feet. Before she threw her veil back he recognised his daughter Rosine. The prisoner also uttered a low cry. Di& ragiardinig them both, the girl advanced towards the justice, whom she knew by sight. Ignorant of all forms of larw, she only tho-light of saving Theodore, whose motive for silellce she qmte understood; and, fearful lest she shoald be too late, she spoke at once. Sir," she said, I have come as a witness for Theodore Thibault. I know how he met with his accident, and I know the motive for his silence. It is for my unworthy sake he allows himself to be misjudged. It was to meet me in my father's garden that he climbed the stone wall from which he fell. I saw him fall, I and my ma.id Nanette; and we a-re ready with our testimony." Old Michaud gave a. cry and started for- ward. Old Thibault also uttered an exclama- tion as he sprang to Michaud's side. We might have known," he said. We were young once." The miser, re-examined, owned to the fact of having been ineensible for some time, and confessed that he did not see the faces of the robbers, and Theodore Thibault was free again. But now that he was free, and now that she had done her duty, the conse- quences of her disobedience awaited Bosine. She stood trembling at her father's side, but he did not look unkindly on hex. "Siir," he said to old Thibault, "whatever we may think of each other, your son is a brave and loyal gentleman." Sir," said Thibault, I cannot but esteem the father of so brave and charming a young lady." There is but one thing for us to do," said Michaud. But one," said Thibault extending his arms. Thereupon in good old French fashion the two men embraced each other, and all went home together to Michaud's house, where the marriage contract was once more made cut and signed, and -in, el-irly d,a,te set for the wedding of Boeine and Theodore.

KEYS TAKEN FROM POCKETS
KEYS TAKEN FROM POCKETS BURGLARS ENTER NEWPORT MAN'S BEDROOM Safe Opened and All Jewellery Stolen. Recent burglaries at Newport were imsig- portions by the side of the latest reported burglary. A big haul of jewellery is involved. Mr. Mark Freedman, who had formerly been in business at Pontypridd, has for some little time past been living in retirement at Bosebery House, 18, Cardiff-road. The place is semi-detached, and abuts upon the corner of Olytha-square. At the back there is a lane communicating with other houses. The story of how the safes in which Mr. Freedman kept his stocs of watches and jewel- lery were rifled is quit-e romantic. There are footmarks at the rear of the house and the prints of an instrument on the conservatory window. The conservatory once entered gives- acoess to the kitchen door. Mr. Freedman had locked up his store of jewellery in the safes, and had gone to bed, placing the keys of the safes in his trousers pockets. The trousers were hung at the foot of his bed. Besides keys, the pockets con- tained his own watch and chain and a quan- tity of moncy-abont £ 4. The trousers were taken downstairs by the intruders, who, finding the keys, had no diffi- culty in opening the safes and taking what they wanted. THE STOLEN ARTICLES Their haul is listed thus:— £ 3 10s. in gold, one gold lever watch, one 18-carat gold albert small dog link pattern, one spade guinea, one gold Freemason's emblem, 18-carat gold lever capped watch, small watch ditto, 18- carat gold albert, 19-carat gold albert, two single stone diamond rings, claw setting; one box of sleeve links, watch cases, earrings, Ac., one 18-carat brooch and earrings to match, one pair 15-cairat gold earrings, one large gold seal, red and green stones, old silver coins, one old enamel 5s. pieoe brooch, without a pin, six dessert silver spoons and forks, fiddle pattern, two silver teaspoons, one silver ladle, one gold diamond pin, one lady's 18-carat gold albert, one pair gold ear- rings, two ladies' gold watches, one large Bruges watch, pair gold sleeve links, and pair gold earrings. The value of the missing property is placed at between ZCBO and £ 1C0. The job has all the outward appearance of having been done by professional cracksmen, who by some means bad secured informa- tion that a quantity of valuables was kept in a private house. The matter is being inquired into by the police.
THREE BURGLARIES ATI SWANSEA.
THREE BURGLARIES AT I SWANSEA. MAN CAUGHT WHILE EMERGING FROM A CELLAR. Two houses at Cwm Level-road, Landore, have been raided by burglars. During the I absence of the family from No. 24, the house of Mr. Evan Jones, the rooms of that house were ransacked and two watches and a gold necklace stolen, also 18s. from the gas coin meter. At the next house, that of Mr. D. Beesj, a gold watch and chain, valued at E18 or £20, and several small articles of jewel- lery were taken whilst the occupants were temporarily away. Both burglaries took place quite early in the evening. At Swansea Police-court on Monday Wil- liam Willis, a young labourer, was charged with breaking- into offioes in Exchange- buildings on November 11, with intent to commit a felony.—A woman named Gertrude Bevan, living in Adelaide-^rtreet, said she raw defendant coming up through a grating which led to Mr. Coward's office. She held him and handed him over to Police-constable Francis. He told the police that he was playing with a spoon and it fell down the grating, and he went down after it.—Detec- tive-sergeant Roberta said that if a spoon had fallen he could have recovered it with- out going down to the cellar.-Defe-ndent had been previously oonvioted three times for larceny, and the Bench sent him to prison for six weeks.
|FOR THROAT AND LUNGS
FOR THROAT AND LUNGS HOW PEPS CURE THAT NASTY COUGH. When the air we breathe as so often impure is it. to be wondered at that coughs and colds and lung and throat complaints should be so common? Greatly to be envied is the robust Swiss shepherd dwelling amongst tihe rich pine trees on the Alps. BronOhitis and consumption do not menace his life, for the rich pine fumes constamtly bwtibe his throait and lungs as he breaches, and keep the delicate tissues strong and healthy. Observation of this robustness of the dwellers amidst the pine forests of Europe and America has shed new light on the treatment of lung and throat troubles, and led to the discovery of Peps, an ideal breafh- ing-cure for coughs, colds, chills, bronchitis, influenza, and many lung, throat, and chest troublel3. The breathing of the rich pine essences of these tablets aa they are crushed in the mouth, or dissolved on the tongue, confers all the benefits that come to the fewiss shepherd from breathing the resinous pine air of the Alps. The fumes from the dissolving Peps impreg- nate every inch of meanbranoe f rom flhe mouth .and nostrils to the furthermost part of the respiratory organs. THE RIGHT WAY TO THE LUNGS. A germi6do and antiseptic of the highest value in colds, coughs, bronchitis 0= throat, tightness of the chest, etc., is thus brought into direct contact with the diseased surfaces of the throat and lungs, and the pleasant, comforting sensiation aroused with- out is evidence of the hidden work of healing begun within. Liquid cough mixtures, while they may give the appearance of a cure by reason of the opium, or other pernicious drugs which they contain, do not and cannot reach the actual seat of disease, as Peps do. These medicines are merely swallowed into the stomach, when it is the lungs that require attention. ??ween the atomaoh and the lungs there is no direct connection, and all lung and bronchial disease must be treated direct. Peps strengthen the actual tissues of the lungs and wind-pipe which ha/ve been injured by incessant coughing. Peps are the latest and best family remedy for coughs, colds, chills, influenza, lung-weak- ness, bronchitis, difficult and heavy breath- ing, wheezing, pains and tightness of the chest, asthma, that backing coug'h, cold in the head, croup, children's colds, whooping ooug'h, sore or relaxed throat, huskinees, a.nd loss of voice. They are invaluable to clergymen, teachers, lawyers, singers, and public speakers.. PEPS have the additional advantage oi being free from opium, chlorodyn?

William Miller. Mr. Lyndon Moore appeared for the defence. Miller said he declined to allow defendant to cook chops so late ae 10.40 on Sunday night, NoveIDioor 4. Defendant took up the frying-pan, and hit him on the forehead, causing a wound 2Jin. long, extending down to the bone. Mr. Lyndon Moore, in cross-examination, put some poimted questions about the part which Mrs. Sullivan, manageress of the house, played, and the uses made of a poker, which was nearly red hot. "Wasn't your cut produced with the poker in the struggle?" asked Mr. Moore of the complainant. This is most amusing, Mr. Moore," •responded Miller. In faot, he hit Mrs. g,ullivan with the frying-pan. It is three charges there ought to be against him, not one. Defendant sa.id when the bother began someone "outed" the lamp, and he was attacked with the hot poker. The Bench in the result fined him 40s., or a. month's imprisonment.

How Some Children Livel
How Some Children Livel Jessie Ford. a widow, of 34, Gilbert-street, Cadoxton, was 'brought up at Barry Police- court on Monday charged on remand with neglecting her six children in a manner likely to cause them unnecessary suffering. Mr. A. Jackson, solicitor. Barry, appeared to prosecute on behalf of the National Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. Inspector W. New said the defendant's hus- band died two years ago, and she was left with six young children, Robert (thirteen), Blanche (twelve), Lionel (ten), George (seven), Leslie (five), and Julia (three). Robert was a cripple. The woman had been in receipt of parochial relief, but on three occasions it was stopped, owing to her drunken and immoral conduct. He found the house in a dirty state; the children poorly nourished, dirty, and verminous, and their clothing scanty and ragged. Op one occasion the children had a small piece of bread each, and were dipping it into some gravy which the lodger had left He wanted defendant to give up the drink, and she promised to do so. Witness advised the woman to go into the workhouse, but she replied, remarking, If I do go there I will have a good bust, and get blind drunk for once." The inspector added that defen- dant sent her children out begging. Defendant denied neglecting her children- It was six months ago since she earned any- thing or obtained any money without pawn- ing things. I have made up my mind to give up the drink and join the Army. I have always dreaded the union," added the prisoner. The defendant was sent to gaol for one month's hard Labour.
NIGHTDRESS TOOK FIRE.
NIGHTDRESS TOOK FIRE. Tredegar Baby in Flames. A sad burning fatality occurred at Trede- gar, when the eeventeen-months'-old child of Mr. and Mrs. A. G. Hooper, outfitter, Com- mercial-street, received such severe burns that it died during the day. The little child slept in a cot in the bed- room with its parents, and, as was the custom, was fetched downstairs by the ser- vant girl after she had lit the fire. The girl placed the child in a, high chair before the kitchen fire, and proceeded with her domestic duties, which included the sweep- ing of the passage. It is assumed that when the front door was opened the wind blew the child's nightgown on to the bars of the range. When the girl returned to the kitohen she found the child enveloped in flames. The parents were Attracted by screams, and rolled the child in a mat, and so extin- guished the flames. Two nurses from the cottage hospital were promptly summoned, and dressed the burns. Medical aid was also called in, but proved of no avail.

| Badlam's Bedlam. LIVELY ROW IN ANGELINA-STREET i David Badlam, 26, ra.ised Bedlam at 24, Angelina-street. His proclivities as a smasher of furniture were shown up at Car- diff Police-court on Monday, but the justice.- showed such little sympathy with vandalism of the eort that they consigned Badlam for three months to a place where he will find no furniture to smash. The house in Angelina-street is tenanted by a girl named Edith Thomas, whom Badlam assaulted, and he also wreaked vengeance upon Polioe-feon- stable George Thomas, who was brought upon the scene in time to prevent the total destruction of £ 12 worth of nearly new furni- ture, consisting of a leather couch, eight chairs, two tables, seven pictures, crockery ware, five vases, a clock, and five panes of kitchen window glass. Prisoner was unmoved by the recital of the inventory of his damage. Edith Thomas, on the other hand, 6hed tears, not at her loss (a-s it seemed), but for the prisoner's sake, and sympathy for him made her a reluctant and a hesitating wit- ness. She did not wish, she said, to press the charge against the prisoner, whom she knew very well. He visited her at six o'clock on Saturday night. He was then quiet, but became quarrelsome, and at nine o'clock on Sunday morning he called her bad names, threw her to the floor, and, with his "stockinged feet," jumped upon her. He afterwards also aimed a, kick at Police-con- stable Watkins. The latter knocked his boot away, and then Badlam struck the officer on the left side of the face.

How familiar is the evasive I don't care to accept the ssponsibility" Very, very frequently, this reluctance to act is a protest lont the exhausted nervous organism which shrinks from further effort. he occupant of a responsible position must be efficient all the time-and at is why Mr. A. Burgess (Secretary to the Manchester Hydraulic ackers' Society), tried Phosferine, and found it a perfect remedy for s Brain-fag and Nerve Strain. Encouraged by his own success with 3 famous Nerve Tonic, Mr. Burgess on his own responsibility ministered Phosferine to his mother, a lady of 68 years of age, with result that neuralgic and rheumatic pains of 40 years standing were cpelled, and both mental and bodily powers remarkably restored. Andenjoys its Splendid Rewards. 1\. A. Burgess (General Secretary), The Manchester Hydraulic P:kers' Society, Hart Street, Manchester, writes :—" I should like toive you some slight testimony of the qualities of your Phosferine. SQe time ago I suffered very much from Brain-fag and impaired diction, I decided to try your Phosferine and am completely restored to >bust health. My mother, a person of 68 years, was for a period of 35) 40 years subject to a kind of neuralgic or rheumatic pains in the he., and what with coughing and a continued loss of sleep was reduced to low state. When I asked her to try Phosferine, she said that nothing in is world would cure her. I had paid several doctors' bills for her wit)ut any beneficial results, but, strange to say, before she had finished oneshilling bottie, she began to improve, and is now remarkably active for 5r age, and has never suffered- from her old complaint since taking Phcferine, this is no idle talk, but positive facts. My mother recom- mers it to all who complain of illnesses similar to what she suffered, and have introduced it to several of my friends with beneficial results. Y oUrJaY be glad to know that the qualities of Phosferine are sometimes appiciated by those who benefit by its use. January 23, 1906. PHOSFERINE The Greatest of all Tonics.
