CHAPTER XI. (continuod). For a few moments neither of the two men jnov«d. Owen ilughea was half dazed by the terrible blow. He had not been prepared for anything of this sort, -as he might have been yr Tames Roberts had not been so completely Bt his mercy. Be had been qmick, but not quick enough with his guard, and bad paid the xioual penalty of under-estimating' the power of his adversary. As a consequence, j he was knocked out for a few seconds, &nd mi?ht ha.ve fallen if the wan of th? pcsgage bad not been there to support him. James Roberts, who migh?t have woa a.n instant victory, if he had followed up his temporary advantage, had turned to look at ArHroy Anwyl, a.nd he had a confiwcd idea j that be had struck her as well as Owen Hughes. The delusion only lasted for the j tenth part of a minwte, but when it had passed the men who leant against the waJl "bad partly recovered himself. "Yon git cut of my house," Boberts onaaq,ed, -,and take her with you. Rich and poor be aJike in this, that their houses be their own- I b ain t a-fra-id of yoc. for I' ext YOICW raoney. You git, amd take her with m t-I yctBT nrooey. You git. aoid ta.ke her with j He ad-vn-noed threateningly towaids Hughes, whom he now regarded as a coward, and clenched his great muscuLar riglit band. "If yoa don t go," he growled, "1 11 do for j yem, by Gawd, I will." Hughes &q?a<Ted his 3hcnWers, shifted bii jj ]t ro? a few ineh?m. and watched the brute's j face. The next moment Roberts a J blow that w<mld have half-killed a man if it had fonnd its mark. As it was, however, it phased harmlessly over Hugheals ehouider. Roberts staggered baok. clutolung at has breast with both his bands, fteU to his kneea, and then roiled over on the ground. Rcgbes bad jabbed him over the bouxt with a. blow tfcat wou-ld have knocked out a. prize-fighter. Paying no attention whatever to the fallen man, the young ooalowner strode papt him, pioked up Awirey in his atrme and. carrying ber into ttoe sitting room, laid her on a.8IIord ■nfo. Then be returned to the ball door, and biew a police wbastle. The street was empty, but at the aoirod of that shrill and well- ittwwn call, doors and windows began to open. and lim. Thomas from next door was first on tihe scene. "There is a woman ill wpefcaiTS," he said. --plea,se go to her at once, and tell ber that notbing is the matter. I and the poaee will deal with the rest." Iftrs. Thomas looked at the greM body whieh balf blocked up the halU grinned, and passed wp the stairs. She returned with the informa- tion that the door was locked, and tbat she fceud picked up a key in the passage. "Try tibait," Huighes said curtly, "and if it doesn't ftt. I'll bare the door broken down. Bpeak to Mrs. Roberta and tell her there is K»thin £ to fearr." A crowd bad gathered outside the door by now. and a burly policeman forced bobs way tfrjrtxjpo. the gaping men and women. It waa not the first time be had been summoned to that bouee, but iít was the first time he had foruid James Roberts so easy to deal with. iHogbee explained in a few brief sentences. I want a. doctor and a. taricab." be said in ooncAnsion. "Yofl must deal, with that brqlte yoocaeif. I'd send for the ambulance if I vwre you, acd get him away while be ll so cjniertJy Then he reeezered the arttins-room, okseed gbe door, and set to work to try and recover Audrey to her seoeee. He found some water in a jug, and some rank, but powerful brandy in the enpixxud. In two or three minutes she opened her agree, aghed, and plorsed them again. He gave her a few more drape of the spirit, and she oooghed till the team ran down her cheeks. "Everything is all right," be said with a Quiet smile. "Roberts has been safety dis- posed of. I am unhurt, and the woman npstaxra seems used to this sort of thing: Yau. are the oniy one of as that I'm aoxious aixmt." "I—I'm bettor," she aid fainKiy. "Are you once-Qutbe sore you are not ILU.-t?" Quite sore* Aadrey," be replied; "the fellow ceagtat me a nasty cUp over the head, hot I P my own back, and have oopme op wrrfttne. rve sent for a cab and » dooior, and as &oon aa yonre better MR Mbb yoa. bona." 0Ia. it JOB bad not «oaM)w«," sba mar- M-ared. "I think God must have sent you." I Roberts works on my mine," he answered gravely. I've a new acheme on hand, and I wanted to talk to each one of the workers individually about it. That does more good than addressing a meeting. But he'll work elsewhere for a little while." "You will not be hard on him, Owen," aihe pleaded. "Remember that the blow will fall on his wife, a.nd she is a dying woman, and ¡ she l-avæ her husband." "Loves that I>rute! he exclaimed. "The idea is ridiculous." Yes, she loves him, Owen, in spite of all tihe ha-3 suffered at his hands. Please be merciful to him—for my sake." "For your sake, Andrey?" he queried slowly. Then the hot colour rushed into his face. "Yes, of coarse," he added hastily. I will gladly do whatever you wish. Love is a. strange and wonderful thing, Audrey." It was the girl's turn to change colonr. Owen Hughes had referred to the love of Mrs. Roberts for her husband, and had bad no thoughts of his own affairs. But Audrey Anwyl put another meaning into the words. I will do what I can," he continued, but I sent for the police, and the matter is now in their hands. He will have to be punished, but I will kee<p him on the mine, if you wi?h it, and see that his wife does not want while j he is in prison." "I am sure you will do all you can, Owen. She has not a penny!" "Not a. penny?" he queried slowly, "and yet he hag been getting good wages, and it was only a month ago that he drew thirty pounds as his share of the year's profits on the I mine." "He has not a penny. He has lost it all betting and gambling." Owen Hughes was silemt. The news was a severe and cruel commentary on his scheme for the betterment of the working classes. Then he kwig-hed bitterly. This was the kind of man that should bs made an example of, that should be shown no mercy. His lips tightened and a. hard look came over his face. The girl read bis thoughts. "The woman," she whispered, "there is something holy and wonderful in her love." Owen Ruighet, looked down at her white face, then, seize-, by a sudden impalse, he caught hold of her bapd amd raised it reve- rently to his lips. "There is something wonderful and holy," he said, tenderly, "in every woman's love." An hour later Owen Hughes had seen Audrey safely to the door of her feather's home, and he was driving home a-lone in the e»b. As he It-ant baok in the*darkness, with folded arms and a cigarette between his lips, his thoughts were entirely of the woman he had juet left, and &.11 the other events of the evening were no more than a background to that slender form and that delicate face with its deep blue e~es and corn-coloured hair. For three years his work had occupied his life to the exclusion of everything else. Now suddenly he eoemed to have been caught up and flung back into the paet-that distant past, when his heart was so much younger, so much more capable of love. Ha had never forgotten Audrey Anwyl. but he had wilfully thrust all thought of her from his mind. He had told himself again and again that there was no room in lis heart for love. And now he had held her in his arms, and had touched her hand with his lipe. The I physical oontact had scorched him like 'flames. A man may see a woman every day, and if he is a strong man, may strangle hi? love with an iron hand. Lot him once touch her, however, and his strength is r broken. Ow«n Hughes knew that his work would ■ never be the same to him aagain, that hence- forward, to the da.1 of his death, it would |-«4taTe his heart with the woman he loved. CHAPTER XII. I Gwladys Morgan stood by the window of her bedroom and looked out across the town that lay white and black in the moonlight— the town that seemed to sleee, yet never slept. Her dark hair hung down upon her rfioulders like a oloud and framed a. face so doeah-ly white that it soareelx seemed like the face of a living woman. Her lipe were parted and her eyes seemed to be looking at something beyond the great city beyond the doefcs, where there was the glint of moon- light on many a. pool, and the masts and funnels of vessels seemed no more than clusters of chimney pots and clothes poles in the digtance--beyond even the sea, where there was a white pathway on the waters, and a siHtdba-nk ran out like the crooked finger of a man's hand. She was clad in a thin dressing gown, and the room was bitterly cold after the warm bed in which she had spent two hoars of a sleepless night. But Gwladys Morgan did not seem to feel the cold, though her feet were bare. a.nd a keen w4nd came under the wainscoting. She et-ocd there, motionless as a marble statue, with a frozen heart and a. brain of living flame. On the dressing table by hsr side, silver- backed brushes and trays and boxes amd trmkets gtittered like sfcars in the moon- light, and ia their midøt a diamond stair flamed bloe and white and ormige. The room was large and comfortable, and there were many handsome dresses in two maho- gany wardrobes. Gwiadvs Morgan and her mother were no longer poor. The cirl had no further need to work with her hands, to be the general servant of a poverty stricken household. For three years, thanks to the generosity of Owen Hughes, they bad lived in comparative luxury. Yet the money that be gave them had burnt into the heart of Gvrlady* Morgan, as though every sovereign of it had been made of white hcxt gold. Love, ae Audrey Anwyl bad said. is a holy and a wonderful thing, but the hatred that follows hot upon tke heels otf love is a devil unchained from hell. For more than three yeatre the dearest wish of Gwladys Morgan's heart bad been to take vengteanoe on the man wiboan onee she bad kwed. Day after day had she tried to think out some plan for blackening has name and raining has career. Ifigtrt after night she bad dreamed of the boor wbm abr. abnakL Jwakbto- but JxMfe* dost, when he wautri cry oak to-ber for mercy, and would And none. But still these were only dream*—tbe foolish dreams of a woman who bad no power to hurt a. rich, and snceesBftal man. And on this cold winter's night, as sbe stood at the window and looked out beyond the booses, beyond the docks, beyond even^ihe water of the sea, she knew how nseless it all ii", she knew that she was wearing out her strength in vain, beating with feeble hands against a wa,a of steel. The other woman, Audrey Anwyl, the daughter of Owen's most powerful enemy, could, perhaps, have struck the blow, but she. Gwiadys Morgan, was helpless as a. child. And the tofcrng1 of the money," she thought; rt is that wtoioh eat-s into my soul." She sterped aside into the shadow of the oartaine, as a man camie srrolling1 slowly nip the road, waiting for him to pass. But to her snlrprise he did not pas! He stopped opposite the house and staIred up at the window. His book was to the moon, and she oould not see his faee. She took no into- rest in him whatever, though it was late for anyone to be abroad. For five minutes he remained there, a tall, rather slender man, with a wide, fur oollair to his 008.t. Then he walked on again, and the light of a street lamp fell upon his features. Gwladys Morgan gave a ory of horror, and gripped the cua-tain with her hand. She had looked upon the fam of the dead.

Young Man Do you think your sister would be sorry to marry and leave you? The Terror: Oh, yes. She mid she would have been married long ago if it had-nit been for me. A Midland. vicar was giving religious instruction in the parish, school the other day. Having talked about the approaching season, of Christmas, ho aeked, "What is the next festival of the Church?" There was no ready answer, and be him- self mentioned that it began with an "E" Ep,i pha n y). Thereupon a. small girl held up ber hand and said, "I know. The Ejection!" "One-half of the world does not know how the other half livas." "Well, it' i- gratifying to think that one- half of t.he world attends to its own ibnsi- mss. A gentleman and iLk wife, both of whom had previo usly been married and had families, were one day disturbed by a tremefid/vcis noise in the upper part of their house. The husband ran upstairs, but came down with the reassuring news: "It's only my children fighting with yonr children, and our cliildren cheering them on. The new outside-right of the Fleeting Fos- i si Is had been heralded by a flourish of press trumeetings, and a large crowd had a«iseni- bled to witness his debut for his new club. As the game pr\>gr€>&sed, however, it was noted that he rarely shifted his position, and never on-ce kicked the ball. This so roused the ire of tit-3 spectators that they began to "barraek" him. Then, towards the end of the game, he suddenly collapsed, and the services of the trainer were requisitioned. "What's the matter with him?" inquired his captain, as t.he trainer removed a boot and stocking. "Matter?" echoed the latter in tones of disgust, why, his bloomin' right foot is froeeri!" He had promised his wife that he would reform. The principal condition laid down had been that he should keep better hours. For several days his conduct was beyond reproach, but then there came a day, or rather a night, when he found himself in bis front hall at an hour past all ordinary excuse. Following an old custom, he took off his boots, overcoat, and hat, and stole softly into his wife's room. While he was in the act of hanging his vest cm the gas- jet his wife awoke- "What on ea.rth are yon doing up at this hotrJ'? It isn't daylight yet!" she shrilled. "My dear." explained her husband with a reodin-Bss bom of necessity, "you know I've reformed, and I want to make an ea-rly start. There are a lot of men I want to see before business hours." And he deliberately put on the rest of hie elottoes and walked out. His wife turned over and went to sleep. I

I Lovers' Law Suit____I
I Lovers' Law Suit I BROKEN ENGAGEMENT SEQUEL I The law courts of Gotrtingen have just delivered a weightly decision affecting the rights and liberties of fiancees. some weeks ago a young Berlin architect had a visit from his betrothed. a Gottimgen lady. She stayed in the capital over the week-end, and the architecl escorted his sweetheart back to the statiom where, as he fondly thought, he s?w her in the Umin safely bmmd for Gottingen. It appears, however, that thei lady was reluotant to tear herself 24 ay from the .:ioy,- of the metropolis. Silronlik-e, Berlin beckoned her back, and at the second station she left the tra-in and returned to the city, where she stayed till the next morning, Some kind friend imparted intelligence of this to the architect, and added th-&t his fiancee had been seen unescorted in the Frie- drich Strasse. The architect at once wrote to his sweetheart, demanding explanations. Receiving no reply, he broke off the engage-, inent and iti-stitu-ted proceedings for a return of his presents and the money he had spent during hie betrothal, including cab fares, railway tickets from Gottingen to Berlin4 and the lady's board while she was there. Her explanation of her conduct was that Eilie was tired to the point of ennui of the intellectual life of Gottingen, and sighed for the renowned midnight revels of Berlin. The courts (says the "Daily Mail") decided that she bad done nothing to justify her lover breaking off the engagement, and dismissed the action, adding that there was no proof that the lady's escapade reflected in the least upon her character. Broach of promise oases are unknown to German law. so the Gottingen lady cannot mend her broken heart with coin of the realm.

For Women Folk. HOMELY HMTS AND DAINTY DISHES China oandlesticks are often much too big to keep the candle firm without wrapping paper, &c., round the bottom. If an ordinary cork is put in, and cut neatly to fit, a.nd a small headless wire nail inserted in the oork, to which the candle can be easily and firmly fixed. the candlestick vill always be tidy, and t.he oork need not be removed for washing. Anchovy Paste Two eggs, two pieces of butter the size of the yoiLka of the eggs, two tableepoorefute of anchovy sauoe, nutmeg and cayenne pepper to taste. Boil the egjrs for ten minutes, pound up the yolks only, well mix in the butter, then the anchovy sauce, and lastly 1 the nutmeg and cayenne pepper. This recipe I is well tested and very euooessful. Onion and Celery Porridge will be found a delicious dish, taken with any kind of cold meat or a few raahers of iiicttly-fried bacon. Two large S.panish onions, one head of celery, one pint of milk. Cut celery and onions into small pieces, a.nd boil in salt and water. When tender strain. Add. milk and boil again, thicken with a little flour, and add a small knob of butter. Real Nut Fudge I Dissolve two squares of chocolate in one cup of milk, and add two cups of granulated sugar. Th-an add a tablespoonful of butter. When the mixture has cooked so tha.t you can see the bottom of the pan when stirring remove from the fire and beat until cold. Add one cup of nuts chopped rather fine and pour into buttered parts, and mark out into squares before thoroughly cooled. Baked Potatoes Peel potatoes and cut in halves lengthways. Cover bottom of dish with rice. Stand pota- toes up all round the dish and continue till dish is full. Put a small piece of fat on each potato, then season with salt, pepper, and ginger. Chop up a small onion and sprinkle all over potatoes. Then get a few leaves of dry sage and rub in the palm of the hand and sprinkle all over. Fill dish with water, and if you bj;.d the water ia drying up in oooking add more water to it. A nioe size dish with about 81b. of potatoes will take li hour in a nice hot oven.

ROLL'S PANOPTICON
ROLL'S PANOPTICON Thanks to the enterprise of the manage- mnt, visitor's to Stoll's Panopticon at Cardiff this week are able to appreciate to the fullest extent animated pictures can convey some of the distressing scenes which are taking place in Paris these days through the overflowing of the River Seine. There is a realism about the views whieh can-not fail tc arouse the phy of all for the poor Parisiennes in their terrible calamity. One of the most striking turns, however, is the dramatic production entitled "Lieutenant Rose, or "The Robbers of Fingall's Cave." This is one of the latest picture crea- tions. It i« a capital story well told, and whilst it is replete with thrilling incidents, one of its charms lies in the naturalness of the acting. Another sensational film is A Cowboy's Romance," amd for breathless interest this subject is hard to surpass, Par- ticularly appealing to the young is the series depicting a daring animal trainer astonish- in? the yokels at a country fair by an exhi- bition of his extraordinary influence over a number of wild beasts. There are a dozen or eo other picture turns which cannot fail to please, whrlst harmony is lent to the per- formanoe. by the presence of two such voca- lists as :Me. James Hope and Fred Dyer, who appear in picture songs. Parents des-irous of sending their children to see this entertainment aore reminded that there are matinees on Wednesday and Saturday at 2.30 p.m.
.LAST WEEK OF PANTOMIME
LAST WEEK OF PANTOMIME There was a crowded house at the New Theatre on Monday night, when Di-crk Whit- tington began the laet week of the success- ful ruan at Oardiff. Again Miss Isabelle Dixon did full justice to the title role, and amply earned the plaudits which ten to her in her song. "Somewhere the Sun is Shining." She also shared the honours with little Miss Lulu Williams in the gracefully executed song and dance, "The Little Alpine Girl." Miss Ada. Dawes, a Cardiff girl, is another little performer wiw wins much applause as a dainty fairy and singer. Mr. Johnny Fuller's oat gets even more funny, and every ohild who has seen "Mouser" will regret his disappearance. Miss Gladys Guy, as the charming "Alice," who sings so daintily The Pretty Little Girl From Nowhere," oon- tinuol" to find favour. The vivacious "Tommy Trot" (Miss Blanche Astley) combines excel- lently with" Idle Jack (Mr. Mark Lester), whose inimitable cfcroltory and capital sing- ing have made him a favourite. Perhaps no one has done better than Mr. Pbil Smith, as the plain, but interesting, cook, who vadnly tries to ingratiate herself with the wise and sportive (--at. Mr. Arthur Godfrey (" Captain Scupper"), with "Bill Oakum" of the ever- lasting cigar, and Mr. Tom Sinclair ("Alder- man Fitzwarren") are also successful. The ohoms, the music, and the general setting 8011 help in the success of the pantomime, and there is no doubt that this, the last week, will be marked by crowded houses every day. Final Performance or If Mother Coose." "MotIher Goose," with all her winsome ways, bids farewell to her appreciative audi- ences at the Theatre Royal, Cardiff, this week. at the cioee of which she will delight the patrons of the other houses of the Oam- brian 'Theatres (Limited) at Mertbyr, Aber- amac, and Bargoed. The run of success which the pantomime has had since it was first produced in the Welsh Mefcropolif five weeks ago, is striking evidence of the excel- lence of the exhibition, which has gone on improving every week. Further evidence of the demre of the management to please their patrons is provided this week, as Mddle. A. Hergleu has been engaged at some expense to prwide a turn wdith her troupe of prize- bred black MwAan Poodk*. Those who have not yet visited the theatre should not miss this opportunity of seeing one of the most roiKoldog pantomimes produced in Oardiff.

Shirley, attended at your office at the invita- tion of Mr. Harry Marks for the purpose, I assumed, of ratifying a match in accordance with my challenge to meet Freddy Welsh-at 9st. 41b., weigh in at the ringside, for X500 aside, and I might reasonably claim this concession, having regard to the fact that Freddy has deliberately side-stopped Paoky M Farland (who is over here with a challenge to meet him for XI,Coo aside at 9st. 91b., the weight Freddy won the English Light-weight Ohampionship at) with this same condition. The meeting proved a-bortive. a-s Freddy's manager refused my ringside" condition. after putting forward other contingencies as an obstacle. I am, however, anxious to meet Welsh at the weight he states to be his "true fighting weight," 9ut. 41b., and I am agreeable t ogive him 41b. and forego the ringside condition, and meet him on his own terms, Tiz., 9st. 41b., weigh in at two o'clock on the day of contest; for £500 aside, as an earnest of which I herewith enclose a cheque for £ 200 to bind a match on these terms. When this has been covered a further meeting can be arranged, but not until then, as I have no wish to again waste my backer's time.—I am, Ac., JIM DRISCOLL (Feather-weight Champion of the World). DRISCOLL AND ATTELL May Box in 'Frisco Next July It was more than hinted some time ago in the "Sporting Life" that Jim DriscoU and Abe Attell would meet in a championship contest in America. Attell, when questioned on the matter in New York, said he was willing to box Driscoll to a finish, .and Jimmy Johnson, who looks ter the Welshman's interest.s in the States. said he bad no difficulties to place in the way of a meeting, and although he was not will- ing that Abe should dictate all the terms, he was inolined to be extremely complaisant in the matter. As to the purse, he was willing to olose on a winner take all or a 75 and 25 per cent, basis. r, ^ith matters at this stage, Messrs. Jimmy i° ar'd Charlie Harvey entered, and as t.he result of their negotiations or those of their representatives, Attell and Driftcoll may me-,t at Coffroth's Arena. Colma, San Francieoo.i.rmnroiateJ' before the big contest between Jack Johnson and Jim Jeffries on July 4 Another meeting: between these superla- tively clever boxers has been hoped for by American followers ever since that memor- able contest in New York on February 19 last year, OIL the eve of Driscoll's return to Englanil. -wheii in a ten rounds "no decision" Ixni-t the famons American was at times made to look 1 ike a uovioo. It was t.he most sur- prising thing that ever happened to Attell, a.nd ringsiders gasped wrth astonishment when they saw the admittedly cleverest man in America "missing by miles" time and time again. Abe Attell to FredgWelsh I In a letter to the ".Sporting Life" Mr. AI. Lippe, manager of Abe Attell,says he would like to arrange a ima.toh between Abe and Fred Welsh while he is over here with Harry Lewis. The last-named is due to meet his namesake, Willie, on February in Paris, and Al. Lippe and Harry are already in the French capital Papke Arrives in England "Billy".

Oardiff Man Wins 15 Round Contest The Badminton Club, Oardiff, was again packed on Monday night, when Young Basham (Newport), who recently lost to Fred Dyer in four rounds, took on Badger Brien, the smart Oardiflian. Mr. Danny Davies (Merthyr) was referee, and Mr. Ben Hoddinott timekeeper The match we. over a distance of fifteen rounds for £ 20 and the club parse, and Basham insisted on clean breaks, relying on his height and long reach, and knowing that Brien is undoubtedly an in-fighter. The Newport man held his head out of harm's way at the start, but in the third round he met a vicious right hook from Brien, and was counted out. Kid Harris (the American coloured boxer) renewed his battle w.ith Young Waiters (Pontypool). It was announced as a Do- decision bout, but 80 hot did it wax that Walters challenged the American at the finish for fifteen rounds, and the fight will tttke place next Monday. Will Bees (Merthyr) and Dai Reece (Ponty- pridd) earned a lot of money from the crowd by rattling their six rounds, and Charlie Alfred a.nd Young O'Donovan boxed a draw over a simil-ar course. The Bros. Connell also bad a canter. Dave Peters Matched I Dave Peters is now matched- to fight Jack 1 Kincslaojd for £100 and best purse (Ponty- I pridd barred). Contests at Aberdare I A good programme of exhibition bouts was given at the Market-hall, Aberdare, on Mon- day, the promoter being Tom Thomas, the middle-weight champion, who gave a ball- punching display, and also boxed with Will Griffiths (Brynmawr), a substitute for "Tiger" Smith, who was unfit. A gold centre medal presented by Thomas for ball-punching was won by D. J. Evana, of Penygraig.

It is known that one of the girls had £ 20 in her pos~ie&«'k)n, bot the motive for this hurried- flight from school is not vet ascertainable. The police have searched all the hotels, and on Saturday they attended all the theatre matinees, because it was known that one of the girls had a predilection for th-ings theatrical.

Waiker has. voted seven- teen times during this General Election, and Mr. J. W. Wa-lker thirteen times. According to the "Henley and Oxfordshire Stt.anda-rd," Mr. W. W.

The places were i Henley, Stratford-on-Avon, Wallingford (first day), Basingstoke and Saffron Wa.lden (seoond day), Wycombe. Newbury, Alton, and Witney i (third day). These four were in county divisions. During the next four days the man of many yot-oo visited Ely, Banbury, Cirencester, Evesham, Yeovil, Devizes, and Farnham. In all.

I" A BUST UP FOR TWOPENCE"
I" A BUST UP FOR TWOPENCE" General Booth opened at Liverpool yester- day what he described as a "working man's Metropole." This is a new home designed to accommodate about 200 men. "We shall," the general announced, "charge fourpence for a bed. and we shall give a meal for a penny. A man will be able to get a positive bust-up for twopence." (Laughter.) Speaking of the industrial side of the Salvation Army's work, General Booth said they had had to contend with great difficulties. The Labour party were jealous of their approach into what they considered their own domains, and declared that only Trades Union rates of wages should be paid. "They would shut us out altogether," the general said. "We can- not pay the Trades Union rate: we pay the value of the amount of work produced. We get many unskilled workers, and I don't see why the Salvation Army should be compelled to pay for two days' work when an experi- enced worker could do the same work in one day."

CARDIFF EMPIREI
CARDIFF EMPIRE I Full of notable turns is the programme at I the Cai-diff Empire this week. Miss Amelia Bingham, proclaimed by general consent to be the American Elden Terry, was received with much acclamation in her repertoire of dramatic representations, which she briefly comprehends in the original idea, tersely expressed, "Big Moments from Great Pla.ys." The excerpts were from Sardou's "Madam Sana Gene." "La Toeca," and the "School tor Husbands, by Stanislaus Strange. Miss Bingham displaye,(i dramatic ■ifis of a high older and accomplishments ~«6vering a wide range. She has a splendid roioe, a pleasing personality, and an exceptional power of stirring the emotions aud fixing undivided attention. In the old English oomedy, "School for Husbands." she was seen to advantage in the role of the vrife, who, having oome into an inheritance of some thousands, asserts her wifely rights, and brings to hie senses the prodigal .spouse, who has studiously been kept in ignorance of the windfall. The lady is ably supported by Mr. Herbert Standing, 3fib. jpeth Franklin, and Mr. Lloyd Bingham. Olga Petronowa made a good impression with her band of 25 selected instrumentalist. whioh she conducted with the skill, the verve. And the briHiance of one who was once a pupil of the Imperial Conservatoire at Moscow. The band plays particularly well. The storm scene from "William Tell" and Tteohaikowsky 's "1812" were acocwnipanied wrth highly realistic effects. D'Arc's Marion- ettes were distinctly above the average of that clasts of entertainment, the figures being lifo-tike, whij-st the mannerisms and voices were faithfully re-produced of Harry Lander, Vesta. Tiliey, and other well-known a-rtistes. The comedian W. J. Churchill was as popular as ever, provoking, much laughter with his whimsical comments. Tom Moore scored wit., hia laughable characterisations; Edith Harmer, "the dainty Vivandiere," and other artistes gave charming turns, and the Ameri- can bioscope in a series of realistic pictures gave a graphic presentment of the dire con- sequences of the Parisian floods.

TDBSDAY, FEBRUARY 1. 1910. A London Barrister i4, Brain-fag, Insomnia, Lassitude— The plain fact that everybody is satisfied ensures that all may be certain of getting some good, some benefit, from Phosferine. For proof, take the direct statement of Henry Stephen, Esq., Barrister, who says, I was subject to brain-fag, lassitude, and insomnia, but Phosferine has amply proved its remarkable invigorating and sustaining properties, and I now have a splendid fund of energy," That is the decided experience of a man trained to get at the facts, and nothing but his real and permanent gain of vitality could inspire his commendation. It is the sincerity of Mr. Stephen's tribute, the reliability of the thousands of other apprecia- tions from Royalty, Doctors, Clergymen, Workers, &c., which establish that Phosferine always accomplishes its remedial purpose. To many sufferers it means everything to be certazl,, of regaining health and energy, and it is a positive relief that such definite guarantees of the efficacy of Phosferine are supplied by all classes of the public. Entirely Banished. Henry Stephen, Esq., Barrister, 4, PIowden Buildings, Temple, writes. My personal experience of Phosferine has amply proved its remarkable invigorating and sustaining properties. Leading an extremely occupied life, with continuous calls upon my nervous organization, and physically handicapped by the close atmospheres of chambers and courtrooms, I am often thoroughly exhausted and run down. I have been subject to 'brain-fag', lassitude, nervous depression, and insomnia. I have wonderfully improved in every respect, and must admit that uosfeiine recoups the nervous and physical frame in a remarkable manner, and I intend to continue its use. My professional duties and literary work are onerous and exacting, but at the present time ¡'¡lave a splendid fund of energy and am able to pass through the most trying day without ill-effects. Allow me to admit my great indebtedness to the undoubted restoring and protective power of Pliosf erine. July 27, 1909 j W? B H ?"? ?? tBazBB tfBB ? ???

..-mmm3am NEWPORT EMPIRE
mmm3am NEWPORT EMPIRE The Bellclair Brothers occupy the principal place in the Newport Empire programme this week, their acrobatic skill, as well as their muscular strength, being highly appreciated on Monday night. The Bosun's Mate is a farce rich in its propensity to entertain, an unmistakable vein of humour running through the whole sketch. Some catchy chorus songs and danoes are provided by Gladys Nairns, clever quick changes are given by Daras in his representations of great composers, varied by smart conjuring and dancing, while the Three Delaries, aero bats; Marshall and Parr, drawing-room entertainers; Dan Fraser, Scottish comedian; and Carl Lynn, animal mimic, all add their quota to an extremely good ehow.

)!!))!) i BAD FOR THE COW. In th^ Fishing Gazette" an angler tells a story of Scotch coolness. He was one day fishim? the Ness, when he noticed a oow examining some tilings left by the waterside. On landing, he found she had eaten up the whole of one side, the button half, of a -new t mackintosh. Meeting the miller, whose property she was, he showed him the mangled evidence of her misdeeds, expecting, at least, Ito meet with something like sympathy for the loss. The miller's sympathies were, how- ever, all on the other side. He surveyed H. for some time in silence and with an air of dejection, and simply exclaimed, Eh, but she'll no be the better o' the buttons!"
