John Sarrol. CHAPTER XVI!. j A CRY IX THE DARKNESS. John Sarrol had won his game of billiards, as he had won so many other games in life; and then, in rare good humour at his vic- tory-ior it had been a close game, and at' one time it had looked like his losing—he had exousad himself for a few minutes to his hoet, whom he left in the billiard-room beginning a game of fifty-up with his son Alfred. A "fifty" game with Alfred usually ave- raged the time of a hundred-up with another player, for young Muir carried his business habits or method to the game, and ysually deliberated as long before each stroke as though he were deciding some knotty com I mercial point involving hundreds. "I won't be ten minutes, Muir; just going "With vindictive fury and iia-tred oii his face. to the library, if I may-I want to write a letter. I'll be back before you finish your game," Sarrol had said, not mentioning that he was going to meet Owen Hughes there. That might have necessitated some explana- tion. It had not been until he and his host adjourned to the billiard-room after dinner that Sarrol had come to a decision about Hughes, what course he should take. In a grim spirit of irony he had told himself that, the game he was about to play with Muir should deride his course of action for him; the thought had tickled his sense of humour. If he won his hundred-up with Muir, ho would let the man go; if he lost, then he- would carry out his threat and communicate to the police the mature of the message he had received by telephone from Detmoid shortly before has death. And this resolve, to which he fully meant to adhere, lent all the interest of a gainble to the game. Sarrol had started badly; at first it had looked as though the threat would have to be carried out-that he would loee, and Hughes would accordingly lose. too. For the first five minutes of tne game he felt more or less indifferent; then he had begun to get keen. He had no love for Hughes, who had called him a thief, but the mere abstract fact that he was playing, if not for a man's life, at least for his liberty, that a man's future was the issue -at stake—for Sarrol knew how difficult, if not impossible, it would be for Hughes to clear himself once the poli-co knew of that telephone message—began imper- ceptibly to weigh with him; he grew kee: the more so. as Muir was playing well. Broak by break Muir's score was mounting up, leaving him behind; but in the fifties a series of good strokes, and Sarrol drew almost level with his opponent; they ran neck and neck into the sixties. Then a run of luck carried Muir in a single break to 90 odd, and Owen Hughes's oh antes looked hopeleiss. I'm going to thrash you, Sa,rrol. said Stephen Muir, with a complacent chuckle, as he marked his score on the board. The laugh and the words put Sarrol on his mettle, and a gleam came into his eyes. He took up his cue, playing carefully, as he had never played in his Life before. It isn't sa.fe to prophesy until you know," was Sarrol's dry responæ-and between iinir's iaugh and Sarrol's answer the latter wa.s in the nineties too, within a couple of points of his opponent's soore, after rather a good break. Mui-r was not a man to play a losing game so well as a winning one; that the other man had nearly caught him up affected his play. He miss-cued, and looked unhappy. Slaorrol tOOlk up his ou e and" ran out. The winner gave a dry chuckle. His skill in fighting a losing game had saved Hughes, He bad no intention of going back just as, in the event of his having lost, he would not have spared the man; Sarrol always kept these bargains with himself. Well, on the whole, this result would save a lot of bother. He would have had to explain why it had taken him a. fortnight to inform the police that Pemoival Detmoid, shortly before the moment of has death* had rung him up on the 'phone, and hzd told him that Hughes was at his place in a dangerous mood. And then, too, the grounds of the quarrel must ham oomo out—Hughes's assertion, obtaining the wide publicity of the press, that he was being cheated between Detmold and Sarrol in the matter of that anti-fouiling paiiut for iihi, that hè, Sarrol, was going to float as a oompany and make a hat of money out of- whatever the shareholders might ultimately do! No. on the whole, John Sarrol, was rather glad, for other reasons than the personal satisfaction that winning always gave him, that the game had turned out as it had done. And. after all. Hughes was a relative, if a distant one, of the Muirs; the exposure he had contemplated might have led to a-n awkwardness with the Muirs But he would make Hughes eat humble pie before he tore "up in the younger man's, presence that letter addressed to the superintendent at the Penarth police-station. He was not to be called a thief with impunity. And with these thoughts in his mind John Sarrol had gone to the library some five or six minutes to the half-hour after nine. He had pas-ed into the dark room, shut- ting the door behind him, with a laugh still [ cn his lips. His hand was on the switch of the electric light, when the sound of voices came to him through the open French window from the verandah outside. And instead of switching on the light, Sa.rrol paused, listening. His wife's voice: whom was she speaking to—and what was she saying? He could not distinguish the words, but there was an agitation in the tones that struck him. And then a man's voice—and the man's voico was excited, too: Philip Muir's. The laugh left his lips. Without turning on the light John Sarrol strode across the thick Turkey carpet noiselessly to the open i wwdow. There by the window he stood watching, like a figure of stone; and the heavy face was not good to look at. Hugfhes was fox. gotten. This was something that touched him more nearly. The two figures in the shadow there, their faoes indistinguishable in the dusk. were silhouetted against the distant vista of moonlight, reyealing their movements clearly to the watching man. For a mome-nt or two he stood motionless, listening. The thing had broken upon him incredulously: at first he seemed half doubtful of his own faculties of sight and hearing this, a familiar, ha-ckreyed commonplace of the daily prese- but to have touched his life personally! He had a curious i-ensation as of a diver going down in deep water and coming to the sur- face again. Ria wife John Sarrol's wife in this man's arms! It seemed ual)elievable-b,ut it was true.

One Sunday morning, when everybody had gone to church, a traveller undertook to show the landlord of a country inn how to draw three differenrt. sorts of wine from the same cask, i'bo two went down into t.he cellar, and the stranger bored a hole in the cask, over which he asked the landlord to place his thumb;-ho then bored a second hole, which mine host had to atop up with his other thumb. He then set to work on the third hole, when it apparently struck him that the landlord would not be equal to the task of stopping that also, and he ran out of the cellar to "fetch a tap." He never returned, and the innkeeper had to wait by the side of his cask until his family had returned from church. The rogue had by that time, of course, de- camped with all he could lay hands upon.

.BOXING.
BOXING. JIM DRISCOLL'S GOOD START. MAKES HIS FIRST ANTAGONIST LOOK A NOVICE. Matty Baldwin is evidently not satisfied with the result of his first contest with Jim Driscoll, of Cardiff, who is now touring the States, for Mr. Eph. Williams, of Cardiff, a.n intimate friend of Driscoll's. has received a communication from him 6tating that he has been matched with Baldwin again, and the contest, of twelve rounds, will take place at Boston. In a picturesque description of the fight of six rounds which was recently fought between the two men at the Fairmount Athletic Club, the sporting writer of the "New York Even- ing Journal" says:- Jim Driscoll, of England, is a fighter and a win.ier. He took Matty Baldwin, our beet 130- pounder, and made him look like a man who had been tossed into a cold tank and couldn't swim. Matty struck out, but didn't know where he was at all. For six rounds Matthew was the drowning man grasping at a straw, and as for looks, he made the wreck of the Hesperus look like a beautiful Venetian evening. There was never a time during the six rounds that the clever Bostonian had a look- in with England's best, and that's saying a great deal when lovers of Baldwin admit it. We had been up to see Jim box with local lads. and he showed up bravely, He dropped a few. knock, some cold, and made other.; look like drunken men groping about in the dark. Some thought that the stories were coloured a bit-, and declared that when he met Baldwin the dope would switch. It didn't a bit He made Matty look the same as the rffit, and there wasn't a minute during the six rounds that Jim wasn't a winner. Driscoll is a cross between Abe Att-oll and Packer MTarland. He has the cleverness of Attell. with the confidence and aggressiveness of M'Farland Baldwin, who who was looked upon as a clever fighter, was merely a wild man wingine at a ghost. Driscoll left the ring withont a mark, and amid the cheers of the thousands who wit- nessed the battle. His gentlemanly beha- viour won the crowd after the first round. Baldwin threw him to the floor twice, and butted him with hits head once, but there was never a time that the little Ene-lishman tried to win any other way but on the square. Both Paekey M'Farland and Leach Cross had their representatives there Oil hard to challenge the winner. Harry Gilmore wants Driscoll for M'Parland, and Sam Wallace wants Jim for Cross." JOE WHITE BEATS THE ARMY MAN. Chief interest in a; programme which attracted about a thousand spectators to the AiKfrews'-hall, Penarth, on Monday evening -ieititreid in a twenty-round cont-eet between Joe White (Cardiff and America) and Private S Walton, of the. Coldstream Guards. The latter showed good form, and at the eighth round was encouraged as the likely winner. In the r-oxt two rounds, however, the Cardiff man's long reach found hie head and body on several occasions. Still. the Guardsman for.ght plucjkily on. He was continually on th? at ,?,, +n d when the twelfth rmmd wa? ,)Iled he peared very fresh. White got in several Wy Mows in the fourteenth, Wa.lton avoiding1 a number of blows about the head. The Cardiff man then forced the flghtinig. but the seventeenth round started with Walton still going gamely. Floored before the round was out, the Army man aT.f-v-ered White's apology with a smile, and ooniceded further points to the Cardiff man during the next round. White also had the better of the two last rounds, and was dec1 n red tho winner. Both contestants were loudly applauded, and White challenged his to another meeting. White had previously announced his inten- tion. if successful in this contest, of chal- lenging Torn Thomas (Penygraig) for the middle-weight championship of England.
GELLIGAER SURCHARGES___I
GELLIGAER SURCHARGES I At Gelligaer Urban Council meeting on Monday, Mr. Edward Lewis, J.P., in the chair, Mr. W. Hammond asked why the clerk (Mr. F T. James), who resides in Merthyr, had not kept his promise, that when re-appointed he would establish a clerk at Hengoed. The Clerk: I never promised. I said I would bring my clerk if you would provide the office. -ar. W. B. Lloyd moved that the clerk should have the use of the council offices for the purpose, and all agreed. An important letter was read from Mr. M. D. Propert (the auditor) intimating that all the members of the old parish oouncil had appealed against the surcharges, but the officials had not done so. The council, on the motion of the Rector, decided to make a new road from Pengam to Hengoed, which would form a main artery from the valley, and help considerably the development of the Glamorgan side. A deputation of school managers waited upon the council with a view to securing a site for a school at Tirphil.

He never liked to hear certain Catbolica describe the Ritualist as a conscious sham. It was nothing of the sort. The Ritualists were most sincere.

Plays and PlayersI
Plays and Players I I THE GAY GORDONS," I The New Theatre, Cardiff, was filled on Monday evening with an audience who were thoroughly delighted with "The Gay Gordons." This originally was produced in the Hicks Theatre in London, and on this occasion came to Cardiff with Mr. Seymour Hicks himself in the oast. The present is Mr. Hicks' first visit to Cardiff for a full week. His first appearance here was some time. ago, when he came down with Miss Zena Dare and played for one afternoon a triple bill, which oontained two short comedy pieces and a sketch from Dickens, in which he gave a very fine and dramatic representa;tion of Sarooge." When he first eemt The Gay Gordons" to Cardiff, about twelve months a,go, he put in the principal parts Miss Zena. Dare and his brother (Mr. Stanley Brett),' whose strong likeness to him is, an old matter of stage gossip. Mr. Seymour Hicks in The Gay Gordons quite comes up to the expectations that had been formed of him. Regular theatre-goers who had seen him before at the New Theatre playing a light comedy part were not dis- appointed with his fresh and breezy appear- ance as Angus Graeme." Angus Graeme," followers of musical comedy may be reminded, is a young Gordon Highlander who is as much astonished as even his dear old mother at becoming the Earl of Meltrose, with £ 150,000 a year, and the luck to be in love with an American heiress. Only when he falls in love with her be doesn't know he's the Earl of Meltrose, and neither does he know Me's an American heiress. Getting tired of being made court to on account of her dollars, the lady has ohanged places with a "Punch and Judy" show fortune- telling girl. Naturally, the story takes a lot of unravelling before she finds out who the gentleman is, and gets over her unnatural prejudice against entering the ranks of the British peerage. The unravelling of the story also intro- duces a whole heap of fun and curious happenings, in which Mr. Hicks makes him- self quite the leader of the comedy. After eee- ing him in such a serious part as "Scrooge," it seems a bit strange to find him cracking conventional jokes and doing Scotch dances in the most approved manner of the musical play, but he seems to adapt himself very willingly to his circumstances, and does it very well. Miss 3taie Ash accompanied him as a very charming Peggy Quainton," always fresh and entertaining. She put lots of go" into her acting, and made "Everybody loves me up in London," the catchy song which she has in the second act, a 'great success. Mr. Johnny Danvers was always brisk and pointed in the constant humour of the dialogue, in which his quaint family, Edmund" Carroll) a-nd, Char- lotte" (M iss Sidney Fairbrother joined. Miss Coralie Blythe was also an excellent "Victoria Siddons." Most of the audience on Monday were presented with Mr. Hicks's humorous souvenir," in which caricatures of him- self end some of his company as they appear in this piece are accompanied by some very old-fashioned comments, ascribed to his little daughter Betty. "THE WOMAN WHO GAMBLES." Mr. Morton Powell's company produced ¡ before a large house a-t the Theatre Royal on Monday 1 the successful drama, The Woman Who Gambles." As the title implies, the play is one which excites much interest, and the company is a capable one. Mr. Clifford Rean and Miss Laura. Walker, who play the leading roles, give splendid pourtrayals. [ QUEENIE LEIGHOOT THE. EMPIRE I With Fred Ginnett's famous company in the romantic equestrian spectacle, Dick Turpdn's Ride to York," Queenie Leightoai, of Drury Lane fame, the Lancashire Singers. and the Kirbys. all grouped together in one sthow, not to jpeak of five other capital turns, the Empire programme of this week carries its c., Il recommendation. Not for a long time has a moxe varied or interesting enteirtainrment been given at the Queen- street house, the episode of the historic ride to York being alone a sufficient attraction to make the omission of witnessing it a rret The "acting" of "Black Bess," apart from that of her daring master, is so wonderful as to reveal equestrian intelligence in its highest form, and at the same time it serves admirably in imparting1 to the sketch a touching reality which appeals to the sym- pathetic and chivalrous instkact43 of the audience. Such historic scenes as Kilbuirn, the high road to York. aDd the turnpike- gate and toll-bouse at Stamford are faith- fully depicted, and a splendid climax is that in which liuke Rook wood's gipsies carry Black Bess" shoulder-high to her last rest- ing-place. Queenie Leighton is, as usual, delightfully chic with her topical songs, which she sings in her own characteristic and inimitable style. A very fine turn is that ot the Eighteen Lancashire Singers, and it was rough luck on the audience that time did not permit them giving a double encore to tie vociferous and prolonged demand too- it. There was tfroarious fun while the Kirbys, the cotmedy and burlesque entertainers, were on the stage, the patter being refreshing in its originality and smartness- Another capital show, deserving really of a bigger line on the bill, is thaA of Burnetii, who is an excep- tionally clever and versa-tdle quick-change chatacter musician. The others who con- tribute to a programme of uniform excel- lence are Little Keeno, the clever boy come- dian vooalist, a.nd dancer; Frank Sylvo, comedy juggler; and Bcssae Butt, who is a most charming dancer. NEWPORT EMPIRE I The Ruesian giant, Machnow, is creating quite a sensation in Newport. Large orowda awaited his arrival on Sunday, while on Monday night the Empire was thronged to see him. The programme also includes Hermann Melot, a brilliant conjurer; Rhoda. Paul, in her latest success, It's the Gay Gordons"; "Eight of Hearts," gingers, danoers, and artistic performers; Bi-Bo-Bi, eccentric mmsd-oiaii; E. J. Sheldon, black and white artist; Victor Newman, clever imper- sonator of. Shaks-pearean and Dickensonian characters; and Tom E. Onover, comedian. STOLL'S PANOPTICON I Of all the wonderful subjects portrayed by the American Bioscope Company none have probably sustained a m°re striki^ ng success than the pictures exhibited at Stoll's Panop- ticon this week showing the martyrdom of Louis XVII. A huge audience assembled on Monday evening wit4 the anticipation of seemg something out of the ordinary, end they were not disappointed. The synopsis includes "The RevoluiiDn," "The Royal Family Imprisoned in the Temple," "The Child Parted From his Mother," "The ex- King's Son Handed Over to Simon the Cobbler," "The Martyr's En1," concluding with a good tableau. The whole series of pictures was highly aPP1"6013^^• A most exciting subject was "The Rag-picker's Daughter," and each of the items that follow scored a distinct success. The oomedy element was well in evidence, whilst the films showing a mysterious thief were certainly something to marvel at. A triumph in animated photography was the film depict- ing the Paris Fire Brigade in their wonder- ful drill, whil-* A Tour through the Voages M tl%l.no took one through some magnificenVtravol scenes. The musical side of the programme was above the average, Mr. Waiter Hejliet, the baritone voca.list, and. Mr. F. D. Jones, tenor, renderin.g excellent fongs in an excellent manner. Mr. Bert Wil. liams figured in "The Newsboy's Debt," In which he scored a eignaj triumph. Matinees will be held om Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30. GOOD DRAMATIC SKETCH I An exceptionally good programme is pre- sented at the Padace, Cardiff, this week. Mr. Wilfred Benson's company produce a stirring RussiaJi episode, entitled The Last Halt." It is admirably staged, and the acting, par- ticularly that of Miss Mabel Wynn (late of Mr. George Bdwardes's company), was exceed- ingly clever. The rest of the programme is made up of the following:—The Avolos, who perform remarkable feats'on the perpendicu- lar poles, including double somersaults; Clifton and Gibson, droll comedians; Flo Burnett. a charming and extraordinary vocalist; Stiddcr and Dunbar, clever musical comedy artistes; The Arntes, smart South Carolina Sunbeams, who feing sweetly; Walter Clyde, vocalist; and the popular bioscope*

!" Back Coding" Charge --.
Back Coding" Charge RHONDDA MEN COMMITTED William Griffiths, Post Office clerk, David Williams, greengrocer, and Edward Griffiths. architect, all of Clydach Vale, who are charged with being implicated in the alleged sensational Puhondda back-coding case, again appeared before the stipendiary (Mr. Arthur Lewis) and a bench of magistrates at Ystrad Police-court on Monday, when the case was concluded, and the defendants committed to take their trial at the assizes, bail being ag-ain allowed. The oase, it will be remembered, is one in which it is alleged that quick results were reoeived from the racecourse, and that the defendants conspired to send bets on the winning horses to Mr. George Burford, a Swansea bookmaker, by means of telegrams which are alleged to have been back-coded. Mr. C. S. Goodfellow (of Messrs. Goodfellow and Gillimg, Cardiff and Caerphilly) appeared to prosecute; Mr. W. P. Nicholas (of Messrs. Morgan, Bruce, and Nicholas, Pontypridd) defended the Griffithses, and Mr. D. Rees (of Messrs. W. R. Davies and Co.) defended Wil- liams. Mr. Gerald Bruce held a watching tirief on behalf of interested parties, and Mr. J. G. Hurst (of the Midland Circuit) watched the proceedings on behalf of Mr. Ashley Smithies, of the Ashleigh News Agency. The three defendants pleaded not guilty and reserved their defence, Mr. Nicholas remarking that he could not resist a com- mittal on a prima facie case. ANOTHER CASE. A similar charge of conspiracy was then preferred against William Griffiths, a defendant in the former case, and Edward Griffiths, architect, of Clydach Vale. Mr. Goodfellow prosecuted, and Mr. Nicholas defended. The evidence given at the last hearing was read over, and the allegations ywere of a similar nature to that in the nrst case. It was alleged that defendants had sent a series of betting telegrams to Mr. Burford, of Swan- sea, backing the winners every time, and Mr. Burford, after paying a cheque for X20, became suspicious, and ignored subsequent wires. The defendants pleaded not guilty, and were committed to the assizes, being allowed bail.

Body Under Flooring .——.——.
Body Under Flooring .—— ——. INQUIRY JNT0 SENSATIONAL CRIME I An inquest was opened on Monday on Bertha Hume, who was found dead under the floor in a tailor's shop at Lewishian 1OAt Friday. The coroner said the deceased's husband was at present in the infirmary suffering from mental aberration. William Curtis, father of the deceased woman, said the deceased and her husband lived happily together. The husband drank at times, and then he became mad. Witness visited Hume at the irifirniary before the body was discovered, and he advised witness not to look for the deceased. Witness after- wards found a looee board on the floor of the shop and informed the police. Inspector Garner described the finding of the body of the deceased, fully dressed. The head was bent back and the legs were pro- truding llpwards. A oord with a slip-knot on it was wound round the neck three times. The hole where the body wa? discovered was 3ft deep. The Coroner, in adjourning the inquiry, said that under an order the deceased's hus- band was detained for ten days, but he might not recover. The medical officers who have made an examination of the body of Mrs. Hyme have come to the conclusion that the woman was alive when she was thrust into the hole in the floor.
JOINT TRAINING COLLEGES I
JOINT TRAINING COLLEGES A general meeting of represent.atives of the Glamorgan, Monmouthshire, and Car- diff Education Authorities was held at the County Offices, Cardiff, on Monday for the purpose oi considering a proposed joint scheme in regard to the establishment of traiiiing colleges for teachers. Dr. T. K Morris, chairman of the Glamorgan autho- rity, presided. The proceedim-gs were con. ducted in private. It transpired that the two counties were making prQvicion for training colleges at Barry and Caerleon, and these having been practically agreed upon. it was impossible for the Corporation of Cardiff to become a party to a joint scheme. Therefore, it remains for Cardiff to decide whether it will provide a training ooUege for its wn pur- poses, 75 per cent. of the cost of which will be borne by the Board of Education. I
