JKMMyS aMORT STORY.] Robert Hetheridge, Nonentity. By HAVEN HILDE. I (ALL RIGHTS RESERVED.) Robert Hetheridgre was one of the world's nonentities; he knew it well. Sometimes he let it trouble him. That was when he wasn't thinking, when he was unphilosophio. He had long reoog-niised his true position among the dweUers upon earth, and at most times seemed pretty well content. There was nothing bright about Bob-he was a just plodder. In sartorial attachments he was negligent; in manner lachrymose; in figure stunted; in position briefly little of most thingB, much of none; in personal appear- ance unenviable. This is speaking of him as he is on the 14th of November, 1891. Standing leaning over the iron 4des of Holuorn Viaduct, and looking down on the road beneath, he owned again that all this was true. One by one he went over the category of his failings and his failures, ancr told them all over again to the lions at hid side, who made no comment, the matter being no business of theirs. c Bob's financial condition this day was very low. He had just called at a newspaper office to see if there was a "turn" for him; there was nothing, and Fo time was his own- "my priceless time," he muttered, with a laugh. Very few men owned to bearing Bob any friendship, although fewer still bore ill-will towards him. All laughed at him always. instinctively. Ill-luck was his evil genius, but he was well used to it all by now, being turned thirty years. Please, sir. can you tell me the way to Ludgate Hill Station?" Bob turned, half-startled, and faced a child of about twelve or thirteen summers, who stood, with her face all serious and her eyes wide with a vague alarm, waiting for him to answer her. It was a lovely face in its fresh youth, with the cheeks full and slightly flushed, and crowned with a glory of light brown waving curito, beneath a hat that wa.s prettiness also. For a moment he stood there petrified. Bob had never had dealings with the softer sex in any size; he had no recollection of mother, sisters he had none; in his life as yet there had come no woman, neither the want of one. Here was only a little child. yet a strangeness came over him for a. moment, and he could not answer. I have missed my way, aud-" Then he spoke and told her falteringly the right direction. he added, an(? "I am going that way," he added, ana then he stopped, afraid at his own audacity. But the child jumped eagerly at the words. "Oh! may I walk with you as far as you go on my way?" she asked. go the two set off together, he walking awkwardly, and trying to adapt his gait to his companion's, and eignally failing. She told him she had come by herself from Cat- ford to see an uncle in Hat ton-gar den, but as she had found her relative was away for some weeks, and the house all empty, she had no alternative but to return home to where she and her elder sifter lived alone. So this artless child, more fit for a rose garden than the great city in which she stood alone, was an orphan, and in her very artless- oess and simple trust told this quiet, careless- looking man her story. Her name was Bertha Stanley, and her sister Millieent earned at type-writing in a City office just sufficient to keep them comfortably. It wats Uncle's birthday, you tee, said little Bertha, as they halted ere crossing Ludgate-circus. "And I had a present for him. It wasn't much," shflf added hesitat- ingly; "only a tobacco pouch. llilly bought it. and I worked the initials. Look-" The child put her hand in the little satcthol L -he carried. Then her face turned white, and she gripped her companion s arm. Its gone,' she cried; and my purse-- stolen." All around pressed the great crowding, crushing throng of men and women, and backwards and forwards crashed the 'buses and cabs and other vehicles, but to those two in that moment there was no realisa- tion but of one thing. This world contained but two persons who were face to face with a great calamity. The little face turned whiter still-" My ticket," she said. Hetheridge, too, had gone white. He pos- sessed but the sum of one penny in his pocket. A no. what use was that in the present crisis? His brain was; never too quickly get agoing, and this was a case where he was beate'i cleanly. At las.t he spoke. "Where does your sister work?" he said. Oh. nor, no," the ehiid cried. Mill,, roust not know, she then she stopped as she saw that Milly would have to know. "I don't remember the name; it is a hani one," she added trustfully, looking up at him. It wouldn't matter if I had the ticket, would it?" she said, after a second's silence. It wwos in the purse, and-and-I haven't any money. God help you no more have I," he blurted. Man and child were facing each other then, white face looking into white face. The child was the first again to break the silence between them, and she laughed as she spoke- How poor we are," said she. What is to be done?" We must walk," he said at once, having just dismissed the last of his list of acquaint- ances who would be gentle enough in refusing to loan him a sum of money. Could you find the wa-Y I" she aeked, with the colour in her checks again. Yes," Bob said, and then once more, tihi's time hand in hand, the two set their faoee southwards. Two hours later they arrirved at their destination, and Bob was for turning back at onoe. but his little companion would not agree. You must stop and see Milly," she ilrged imperatively, n.ot knowing that that was the one reason that would drive Bob away. She saw him hesitating, and, leaning up, put her arms round his neck and kissed him. "Now will you?" she said, and he had promised .before he knew it. It was nearly tea-time, and little Bertha Jet about laying table. Bob, too, helped, and many a laugh did she have at him, and therx clumsily he dropped a saucer and broke it. "A chapiter of accidents," she cried, merrily, stooping and picking up the fragments while he stood helplessly looking on. Milly will be just wild with you." But Milly wasn't. She came in tired, yet light-hearted, about seven o'clock, and little Bertha gravely introduced Bob to her "big sister." Bob blushed as his eyes fell upon the neatly-dressed little figure of Millice.it Stanley. Milly was not pretty or handsome, but she looked sweet and fair enough in Bob's eyes, and he felt something slip down from his heart, and when he went home that evening he confessed that he had never spent a happier day. The story of the lost purse had been told, and all three ha.d laughed merrily at the situation a.nd the c-ircumstanoes which had forced the two to walk home. Then Milly had very gently, and in a way in which only a woman could succeed, broached the subject of Bob's return to town and the manner of his getting there. He had shrunk from the idea of Milly lend- ing him money, but his refusal had been over-ruled, and he had compromised by accepting as a loan the esaot and the lowest amount which would take him home. On the Saturday he was to come and re-pay his great debt. Bertha decrecd, and he agreed. A new zest seemed now to have come into his life. The careless ha,bits which seemed to have taken too deep a hold upon him to be shaken off were easily uprooted. Luck was in his way next day, for he obtained first news of a big bank robbery, and put the paper for whom he did most work on the track, with the result that another good scoop was made. Bob had promised to find out if possible the date of Mr. Richard Sedgwick's nittle Bertha's uucle) return, and an inquiring he discovered that he was due back at his office on the Monday next. Glad a.t having this news to tell them on Saturday, he turned towards the Viaduct, thinking of the strange circumstances of yesterday, and pic- turing the two bright faces in his mind. Then the darkness came upon him. sud- denly, swiftly; the sunlight was blotted out, and when his aching eyes opened once again he found himself, as be saw at a glance, in a hospital bed. He had stepped into the roadway and unconsciously had crossed the track of a flying light-wheeled cab. They had picked him up insensible, and with his left arm broken. Bob's first sensation was one of maddening depress i-m. It seemed so hard, so appalling, so heartbreakinj, to be stricken just when everything appeared so bright. Then a face came up before him, little Bertha's, and it was sad and sympathetic, and his manner changed. He sent a brief message to them at Cat- ford, telling them of his accident and his whereabouts, and thus it came about that he did not keep his promise to visit them on the Saturday. Instead they came to him; nor did he pay his debt. Nearly every day they oame to visit him in his imprisonment, and one day a. tall, grim-faced gentleman accompanied them, whom Millieent intro- duced as her uncie. Mr. Richard Sedgwick. His nieces had told him Bob's story, and he had certain influence in various quarters, and he promised to exert it cn Bob'" behalf. 1 am none too soft of heart," he said gruffly and plainly. "I meddle with no one, and render cent. for cent., letting sentiment hammer at my business door in vain. In this case, however," he added, "I feel inter- ested, and I hope in a fortnight's time that you will be ready to avail yourself of what I shall doubtless have in store for you. Is that it. little. Bertha?" And the stern-faced man of the world turned to his niece, who sprang at him and kissed him lovingly. By the middle of December Bob was well enough to leave the institution, and he found himself a member of the reportoria-1 staff of the "Daily Messenger," with a decent salary and a long agreement. On Christmas Eve little Bertha was chaff- ing her big sister unmercifully, and her withering remarks seemed chiefly directed against a' new-ring which Milly was wearing. "My dearest Milly," said little cheekily, as she dropped another lump of sugar in her teacup, "Mr. Robert Hetheridge saw me home first. You came second. I shall kiss Bob to-night under the mistletoe." "Do so, darling, as often as you please." said Milly, quietly.

Some time ago," said Mr. Joseph Wade, of 40, St. Mary's Road, Leeds, I was fairly on the verge of a complete breakdown. I could not sleep properly, and I had constant headaches as well as backaches. At first I took medicines for liver troubles, but I felt so weak after- wards that I was thoroughly despondent. A doctor told me that I was suffering from Nervous Debility. I was run down and my digestion was thoroughly upset. I had almost lost hope of ever being cured when I was persuaded to try Dr. Williams' Pink Pills. After a few boxes of these pills the pain in the back left me and my general health steadily improved. Soon the headaches and run-down feeling were things of the past, and after a steady course of the Pills I was quite fit and strong again."

Passing Pleasantries.
Passing Pleasantries. Tommie was about to have a children's party. "Mother," he said, thoughtfully, "it won't look well for me to be stuffin.g myself when those other kids are here. How will it be if I eat my share before they come?" Mrs. Biggs: My husband seems to be lost ia thought half the time. Mrs. Diggs: I suppose his ideas are so far apart that ho can't help getting lost on the way from the one to the other. "How do you do, sare?" said a Frenchman to an English acquaintance. "Rather poorly, thank you," answered the other, "Nay, my dear sare," said the Frenchman, "don't thank me for your illness; I cannot help it." "Bridget," said Mrs. Grouchy, "I don't like the looks of that man who called to see you last night." "Well, well," replied Bridget, "ain't it funny, ma'am? He said the same about you." Tommy: Pa, a man is a bachelor until he gets married, isn't he? Tommy's Pa: Yes, my son. I Tommy: And what does he call himself afterwards? Tommy's Pa: I shouldn't like to tell you, I my son.

VICAR ON MILLINERY. I Hhe Rev. A. G. Robinson, rector of St. John's Coventry, speaking at an Oddfellows' floral exhibition said that despite its all- round excellence he saw many more bril-. lia,nt dsplays than theirs. He added, "I have only to climb into the pupit to see sights which beat this into a cocked-hat. The flowers I see, though, have never grown; they are only imitations, and very bad imi- tations at that. They are the sort of flowers that I don't care about. I would rather see more bald pates in church."

Struggle in an Office I
Struggle in an Office I EDITOR KILLED BY A GENERAL After a desperate hand-to-hand fight at Panama, on Wednesday (says the Xew York correspondent of the "Daily Telegraph") General Herbert Jeffries, a noted Panama revolutionist. killed Mr. William Chandler, editor of the "Panama Press," whom he accused of writin.g an article defamatory to Mrs. Claude Guyant, wife of the United States Deputy Consul-General at Panama. Mrs. Guyant is a sister-in-law of General Jeffries. She is only eighteen years of age. and General Jeffries resented a statement charging her with, drunkenness. All the parties are well known on the Isthmus, and the affair has created much excitement in Anglo-Panama society. General Jeffries entered the office of the newspaper carrying a copy of the journal containing the article in question, which had been signd by Mr. Chandler. "What does this mean?'' General Jeffries ex-claimed, thrusting the pap-sr in front of the editor. It means exactly what it says," replied Mr. Chandler quietly. General Jeffries instantly sprang at Mr Chandler, and the two clenched. It was a desperate fight, but Mr. Chandler gradually got the upper hand, landing smashing blows upon General Jeffries's jaw and punching him almost at will. Then General Jeffries drew a revolver. He did not try to shoot, but, as Mr. Chindler, who was unarmed, fearlessly made a dash at him he hit the editor ai heavy blow with the butt-end of the weapon. Mr. Chandler was dazed, but fought fiercely to get possession of the revolver, but General Jeffries rained blows upon his head, and at last he sank to the dying. The assailant was taken to gaol. There is no capital punishment in Panama, but the dispatches say that it is pretty certain "some member of American Panama society will avenge Mr. Chandler's death."
"THE CONTINENTAL SYSTEM" I
"THE CONTINENTAL SYSTEM" Somewhat extraordinary was the story of a detective told at London Sessions concern- ing a band of dangerous young burglars. William Pullen, hawker. Richard Smith, and Albert Legg pleaded guilty to attempted burglary. Legg, said Detective-sergeant Davies, acted as lead-er of the gang, and boasted to his comp-anions of his success, and often showed them handfuls of gold, saymg that his success was to be attributed to the fact that he "worked on the Continental principle." That meant he armed himself with a sandbag, and was thus able to avoid capture by rendering any would-be captor unconscious without causing a wound. He had also been known to carry a revolver. Mr. Loveland, K.C., sentenced Legg to 21 months' hard labour. Smith 12 months' hard labour, and Pullen 9 months.
" TOMMY ON THE TUB."
TOMMY ON THE TUB." Thomas Bailey, a white-haired man of 69, and a convict on licence, pleaded guilty at Westminster ytiiterday to stealing wearing apparel and a siher watch, the property of Albert Groves, a barman, at the Star Public- house, Pimlico, and he was committed for trial. The prisoner, it was said, had for years made a speciality of robberies from public-houses, and wae well known by the sobriquet of "Tommy on the Tub." His last sentence was three and a half years' penal servitude, and only on the 3rd of this month he was released on ticket. On Wednesday night, near closing time, from the public part of the Star Public-house, he made his way to the barman's room on the third floor. He was caught attempting to leave the house, wearing, in addition to his own clothing, a coat and two waistcoats belonging to the prosecutor. A watch, studs, &c., also iden- tified by Groves, were taken from the prisoner s pocket. I don't care how it goes," wac- all the prisoner said when appre- hended.

A CAT AND DOG DISPUTE I A dispute between two farm labourers at the Axminster County-court was responsible for some indignation and a good deal of amusement. Defendant's dog, it was claimed, had killed plaintiff's cat-a piece of destruc- tion which resulted in a claim of £ 1. The judge, however, ruled that the suit could not be brought, as defendant was an infant. Plaintiff (indignantly): An infant! Why, he's eighteen. (Laughter.) The Judge: He's an infant in the eye of the law. That is one of his privileges. He is rather like a lady. They hav ea lot of. privileges we haven't got. '(Laughter.) Plaintiff: IVielL next time I catch his dog on my premises I shall kill it. His Honour: Very well; do what you like. j (Laughter.)

FOOTBALL. Cardift Club Annual Meeting. Exceptional interest attaches to the annual meeting of the Cardiff Football Club, which is to be held at the Park-hall this (Friday) evening, as it is anticipated t-hat there will be a keen contest for the captaincy, and also for seats on the committee. Mr. W. T. Mor- gan has made such an excellent president during the past three years that he is prac- tically certain of re-election whatever oppo- sition may be offered. There will be a much harder fight for places on the com- mittee, there being a strong feeling preva- lent among thfe members that a few changes I will be to the ultimate benefit of the club. Mr. Sidney Rees, who put up such a good fight last year, is again a candidate, and also Mr. Bert Taylor, the popular referee, who played as a regular forward for Cardiff for half a dozen seasons. Both stand a good sporting chance of being elected. For the cap- taincy the candidates, are Messrs. Percy BUE-h, J. L. Williams, and Reggie Gibbe, and the probability is that the extraordinary popularity of Bush will carry him through for the fourth time as skipper of the bold blue a.nd blacks. Messrs. Gus Hayes, W. Burriss, and W. Old are strong candidates for seats on the Reserves committee, on which there are two vacancies.

The -Fishguard Fight I
The Fishguard Fight I A KEEL AND RAIL COMPETITION In order to put the reason for the Cuna.rd Company's adoption of Fhguard in prefer- ence to Liverpool as the flnt English port of call in the fuile&t light it should- be said that, roughly speaking, half the Transatlantic pas- senger trafiio is Continental and half Eng- lish. That is to say, half of the American travellers are anxious to get to Paris i.Is fast ad they can without coming to London. And similarly with Continental visitors to America. It is, therefore, obvious that the stoam&hip line^ which wish to secure the bulk of wha.t may be called the "best" traffic have to make their arrangements so a.9 to enenro the two and distinct transhipments with the utmost expediency. "Battle for Passengers" Tne forthcoming battle- for passengers, how- ever, lies, more especially, between the Cunard, the White Star, and the North German-Lloyd. In the matter of the rapidity of transit between New York and Liverpool, the Cunard Company have easily held the supremacy against their nearest rivals, the Norddeutseher-Lloyd. Both the German com- pany and the White Star Line have been largely favoured by travellers making direct for the Continent, not only on account of the general excellence of the sailing1 conditions, but because, by avoiding Liverpool, and pro- ceeding direct to Cherbourg, they have been able to reach Paris more quickly, and, more particularly, without the very considerable trouble involved an the triple transference of luggage at Liverpool, London, and Dover. By "dropping" such passengers as so desired at Fishguard, the Cunard Company hope, not only to place themselves on an equality with the White Star Line and the North German-Lloyd as regards Paris, but actually to beat them, as they now do, on the transhipment of passengers to London. The competition is a combined one of keel and rail. "Justified in Their Choice" In the selection of Holyhead for their first port of call, in preference to Liverpool, the White Star line save 64 nautical miles, while in adopting Fishguard in place of the Mersey port the Cunard will enjoy an advantage of 113 nautical miles. So far as the railway run is concerned, the distance between Holyhead and Euston (263J miles) is very little more than tha.t between Fishguard and Padding- j ton (2603 miles). It will thus be seen that, do far as what may be called the English or London traffic is concerned, the Cunard, with the two fastest liners afloat, are well able to maintain their supremacy and are justified in their choice of Fishguard as against, Holy- head. In the matter of the Continental traffic, the comparative routes have to be further lengthened, as follows: Miles. Southampton to Cherbourg via Solent. 824 Plymouth to Cherbourg 120 I'iohguard to Dover for Calais via London 538J As between their nearest English ports to the Continent the North German Lloyd and the White Star Company have, accordingly, a very considerable advantage. The Cunard Company, in conjunction with the Great Western and the South-Eastern Railway Com- panies, have decided to run through exprefts trains from Fishguard to Dover, without going into the metropolis, and they hope to do the entire journey in under seven hours. In this way they will put themselves on a, equality with their German, and nearest, competitors, as regards the journey from England to the Continent, while still enjoy- ing the superiority in the matter of ocean fJtMming; the comparative time-tables being, seven hours from Fishguard to Dover, one across the Channel, and four to Paris by the Cunard route, ae against five hours from Ply- mouth to Cherbourg, and seven from Cher- bourg- to Paris, by the North Gernian Lloyd route.

N.C.U. MEETING AT CARDIFFI
N.C.U. MEETING AT CARDIFF A general committee meeting of the South Wales Centre of the National Cyclists' Union was held at the Rummer HOté4. Cardiff, on Thursday. Mr. John Young presiding. Several riders were reported for sending in misleading entry forms and for riding at un- registered meetings, and it was decieftd to send each notice to attend a meeting on Thursday next and explain. One rider was reported for using insulting language to a judge at a recent race meeting, and he, too, will be asked to attend. Several professional licences were granted. A question arose as to whether a rider was eligible to compete in the South Wales Centre championships if he had been born in Wals. but was now residing in another part, and it was decided that he was not. In con- nection with this point it was stated that a rider had ridden at a recent meeting under protest, but Rule 302 states that a rider must have iesided in the centre since the 1st of January preceding the race to become eligible.

"I Will Fight Driscoll "I
"I Will Fight Driscoll I OWEN MORAN STATES HIS CONDITION Owen Moran has replied as follows in the "Sportsman" to statements recently made a,bout the contest which was expected between him and Driscoll I have been quite surprised these last few days to see in your columns what has appeared with regard to the fight between Driscoll and myself, and I will ask you to please publish this letter so that the Plabis-- can see both sides of the question. As you know at our meeting last Monday week, when five of us and your representative met at your office, the only reasonable offers which had been received were the one from Mr. Jacobs and the other from America. Mr. Shirley then made his offer, and I think these are the words he ud: "Owen, I have oome to make an offer to you on be-half of the Welsh Syndicate, and we will give you 11,200 and a peroentage of the gate receipts for your share, win, lose, or draw, if you will fight at Mountain Ash." I replied: No, I -don't want any percentage of the gate, I want a fixed sum. I don't want to have on my mind anything about the gate; when I go in the ring I want to go with one idær-to fight." Mr. Shirley then said: "Well, failing Mr. Jacobs depositing his £ 3,000 with the "Sports- man" to-morrow, I will forward a cheque for 11,500 for your share, win, lose, or draw, the fight to take place at Mountain Ash." I said: "Yes, that will do for me, and I will light Driscoll wherever you like"; and we came away with the idea tha/t everything was settled. I came straight away the same night (Mon- day) here to my training quarters, and I have never left them since. The next thing that I see in the paper is an offer from Mr. Shirley for this same syndicate for a purse of £ 2,000, £ 1,200 to the winner and £800 to the loser. Now, all I want to know is: Is it fair and straightforward, after offering me £ 1,500 for my share, win, lose, or draw, to offer this? All I wieh to say is this: Let Mr. Shirley be as good as his word and stake his money, and I will fight Driscoll wherever he likes, as I said I would. If this is not the truth, and every word of it, I will leave it to your repre- sentative, who was at the meeting, to con- tradict any syllable of it. I will only make one condition, and that is, that the fight shall be delayed a little longer, so that I can get myself thoroughly fit, as I intend to be when I fight.

IDressed as a WomanI
Dressed as a Woman AMUSING MASQUERADE OF AN ALIEN Harry Winter, 35, a Russian, calling himself a tailor, and refusing to give his address, was charged at Marlborough-street yester- day as a suspected person masquerading in female attire and loitering for the supposed purpose of committing a felony. A short, stout, fair-haired man with high-pitched voice, Winter would easily "make up" into a buxom woman. His feminine attire, includ- ing wig and feathered hat, was produced in court. Detective-sergeant West deposed that he was in Regent-street at a quarter to one that morning, and saw the prisoner dressed exceptionally smartly as a woman and wear- ing a wig. He interfered with gentlemen, and spoke in a very feminine voice, inviting them to ride in cabs. When arrested and told the a-ccusa-tion, he said, "How dare you! I'm a lady." The witness repli^L "I don't believe you are; you will have to go to the police-station." At Vine-6treet he asked the prisoner to take off his hat. He replied, "I will do nothing of the kind; you have no right to bring me here." The witness then pulled his hat and wig off. When formally charged, he said. "I'll tear up my things. I won't a-—ar in them before the magistrate." Since tl. arrest the witness had ascertained who tie man was. He had been several times convicted for this offence, and had been flogged. He had been expelled from the country; had returned, and been convicted for that. The prisoner was remanded.

VICAR'S BODY IN A POND I The tragic death of the Rev. S. B. James, vicar of North Mars ton, Bucks, occurred yes- terda.y at North Mars ton, where he was found dead in a pond in the vicarage grounds. It is supposed that he was attacked, by heart failure whiLe trimming1 a hedge, as there was no evidence that death was actually due to drowning. The deceased gentleman, who was formerly principal of Schoroo College, was well known as an author.
