He explains i to Dugdale he has come in place of Dr. I Harper ithe family physician) to attend a srcaii-pox patient. Miss Pearson conveys the veril of her position to Dugdale with- out betraying the fact to Dr. Prince. CHAPTER VI. I THE DRACON YAS. There was plenty of time; in fact, time was in his favour. He knew that there was j something to learn, and that without the slightest suspicion being aroused in the j breast of the man with the revolver, who still pursued his promenade. A very good story," Dugdale said indif- ferently, but rather far-fetched. I can understand how it would get on anybody's nerves late at night. I hope that it didn't serve you so." Indeed, it did." Mise Pearson replied. "I am not likely to forget it. Every sound I hear sets mv nerves throbbing I am like Edgar Allan when he wrote that verse in The Raven.' You know the one I mean?" "I am afraid I don't," Dugdale answered "I thought you would. It is this one:- And the silken, sad. uncertain rustle of each purple r?led m&—thrill me, ?i.h fants?tic terror5 never I curtain. ?- h fana??,ic terT4CITS niever c, n. c, Do you follow Dugdale followed rightly enough. He turned his gl-aroe towards the purple curtains hanging over the conservatory door. He saw them fluttering in the breeze. He knew as certain as if the girl had put it in the p-iaines-t words that the key to the situation lay behind those rustling draperies. He checked a wild impulse to rise to his feet and satisfy himself there and then. Mere prudent counsel prevailed. But oool and col- 11 lected aö he was, he felt a thrill creeping up hi-s spine to th roots of his hair as his imagination played freely on what lay behind those fluttering hangings. It was the more necessary to observe caution, for the doctor stood by smiling as if more or less interested in the conversation. There was a paternal look upon his face, but the hand that held the revolver was hard and knotted, and the gleam ;r the dark eyes had not lessened or softened for an instant. Dugdale had formed his line of action. He might have waited longer, but his experienced eye told him that tlie strain was growing more than the girl could bear. She bad. held to her high courage as women will do when they are alone, b, ,it now that she had a man to share her peril the links of her endurance were stretched to the breaking point. Casua-lly enough, Dugdale rose to his feet, and strode acro&s the room. Don't you find it warm. Miss Pearson?" he asked. "Would you mind if I drew the curtains back?" Prince laid a detaining hand upon his arm. No." he said emphatically. "I am sure that Miss Pearson decidedly objects." There was challenge in the speaker's voice, And Dugdale hesitated. Then there came an extra puff of wind from the outside, and the curtains streamed out into the room, like purple banners. They disclosed a small room beyond brilliantly lighted. In the centre of the room a man in livery lay half back in a chair. He appeared to be young. He was clean-shaven. There was a hideous wound in the centre of his forehead from whence the blood had trickled over his face. The man was huddled up in his chair, stiff and motionless. It was only for an instant that this weird vision dis- closed itself before the breeee died down a-gain, and the curtains fell back in their place. But the doctor had seen it, and each knew what was passing in the mind of the other. For an insta-nt there was a dramatic pause before the doctor's arm came up sharply and Dugdale sa.w that it was time to act. He jumped suddenly forward without a; word of warning, and caught the doctor by the throat. There Wag no disgusin? the matter now, no time to play for diplomacy. Almost before the hideous picture had been shut out, Dug- i ",e knew that it would be a fight for life between hie, opfponetL-t and himself. He was thinking" no longer aJxmt, the girl. The beautiful vision of the perfeotly-apipointed room faded from his eyes. He saw nothing but a keen, hard, clean-shaven face set mur- Aerocusly close to his own. He could feel nothing but an arm twisted about hie neck, Wrtppinig with a force of steel and whipcord. "Why did you come here?" a hoarse voice I whispered in his ear. "Why didn't you may away, you rool?" I don't, uuderstand what you mean" Dugdale etammcred, never letting his grip slacken for a moment. "Oh' yes you do. You understand per- fectly well. Ah! I see what. she meant now. I know all about the rustle of the purple curtains. I was a, dolt and an imbecile not to guess it when she spoke. Now, then, it ia you or me Ihigdale wasted no breath in further words. He wanted all his strength and reso- lution and cunning to get the better of the man who held him in such a close grip. There was no longer any doubt what price the loser would pay for failure. They swayed backwards and forwards over the trea,cherous polished floor. Dugdale could feel the carpet slipping under his heel, and a queer cry ro-se to his lips that he might not. be the first to fall. The unuttered thought had barely escaped him before he came down with a hideous crash with the full force of the doctor's weight upon his chest. With every nerve and muscle bent and warped to the exclusion of every thought and feeling, he was not unmindful of a subtle perfume which assailed his nostrils. Dimly he wondered what it was, and why the woman he had come to save was so near aim. He seemed to see the motion of her arms, and the play of light on her dazzling Úlouldcl". The doctor had his right arm free. There was a blinding flash a.nd a report and something hot and dale's cheek. "Turn over on the other eide," a voice whispered. I have hold of his arm. Do you hear me?" Dugdale heard clearly enough. He caught a muttered oath from bio assailant. He felt the grip on his neck relax, and he knew that his chance had come. His right arm was I drawn back. and he jabbed out .idou-sly with all the force of despairing anger and caught the doctor a shrewd blow on the apple of his throat. He heard the snort and gurgle which followed. He felt a slackening of the muscles of the man who held him, and instantly he wae kneeling upon Dr. Prince's chest and holding his head upon the floor. A blind triumph filled him. He raised the lean, close- cropped head, and brought it sharply upon the boards twice with a quick thud. He saw the life and colour rush from the madman's cheeks and the eyes turned up till nothing but the quivering whites remained. A second later he was on his feet panting and trembling-, with M-i-ss Pearson leaning heavily on his shoulder. You have killed him," she gasped. "I think not," Dugdale said. "It is an old trick I learnt in the States. He will be quite right in a minute or two. Meanwhile, I had better remove his revolver, and tie his handls. Will you. pull down one of thosa curtain cordsf They will suit my purpose. And let me congratulate you upon the pluck-" But. Dugdale was talking to empty air, for the girl had swayed towards him, and if he had not caught her, she would have fallen to the floor. Her eyes were closed, and she appeared to be half-in«ensible, though she was muttering, something which Dugdale could not catch. He bent closer to listen, and presently the words began to be more coherent and logical. "Don't left. him have it," che said with her eyes still cioj-ed, wbtatcvfr you do, don't let him have it! It dcee not belong to him. Whatever they may say, it is ours,' a.nd always has been our-- Send him away before it is too laite." Dugtdale's position was sufficiently awk- ward. PTince lay grinning horribly, his eyes rolling from side to side, end every now and again he uttered some fearful threat. Dug- da,Le was at his. wits' end to know what to do, or how to act for the best. It was useless to ring, seeing there was not a servant in the house. He durst not leave the h-alf-f ai-nting girl whilst he went fcr assistance. From the bottom of his heart- he longed to know what the girl was talking abo-ut, and what it was that she was afraid of losing, Courage," he whispered, "courage. Hold up your head and try to realise there is no longer any danger." The words gave her fresh strength, for she opened her eyes and smiled faintly. She murmured that the room was hot and close, a.nd that she needed air. Ac-ocrdingly. Dugdale laid his fair burden down on a sofa, and crossed towards the purple curtains, still fluttering in the breeze. A cry of half-inarticulate rage broke from Prince, a* Dugdale dr<W them aside. But the latter did- net hear. He was too astonished to grasip anything for the time. In the alcove behind the curtains where the electric light was burning the figure of a young man Jay part'ly on the floor, partly on a. chair—a young man dressed as a livery servant, and, to all appearances, dead. But it was not this that excited Duigdale's sur- prise, for he saw before him a latticed window, and against this a quaint Chippen- dale stand. And on the stand stood an object gleaming in gold and blue and purple. It was the Dra,gon Vase! (TO BE CONTINUED TO-MORROW.)

For Women Folk. HOMELY HINTS AND DAINTY DISHES To frost a c'ike evenly to the very edge and prevent the icing from running down the sides, double a piece of wax paper and i pin it about the cake closely, letting the I band come up half an inch above. Spread on the icing thickly and evenly. Do not I remove the paper until icing is set. I Cornflour Broth I Take one tablespoonful of cornflour and half-pint of water; mix cornflour smoothly with a little of the water, and add the rest. Heat it, over the fire, stirring all the while. Af soon as it thickens mix with it gradually one spint of hot beef tea. When cool enough to swallow add a new-laid egg well beaten if liked. To Clean A Sunshade First open punt-hade, make a good lather with pure soap, and with a nail-brueh scrub the outsid-e well, holding one hand under- neath to s-crub against. Rinse well under tap, wipe ribs with a cloth, hang on line in garden (not in the sun) by tying .a string to top of ctick GO that the wet runs away from ribs. Fruit Sherbet (3lackberry) rm: tne rnut tnrougn a mincing macnine, 1 and to every pint of pulp add half a pint of water. Put all into a muslin bag and allow to drain. To eaoh quart of juice add a pound of sugar and the juice of three lemons. Mix all well and freese the eanne as cream. All other, fruit sherbets are made in the sanie way. To Store Pickles When bottling sauces and pickles for winter use, care should lie taken that the bottles and jars are perfectly airtight. The corks should first be dipped into a mixture of 4lb. beef suet and ilb. of wax melted over a slow fire. a,nd should be dried several times after being di-, ped in the mixture, the process being repeated several times. Then press the corks into the bottles and dip the heads and rims into a solution of ioz. of beeswax melted down with ilb. of sealing-wax and the s'ime quantity of black resin. When making the mixture it is advisable to stir it with a long tallow candle, the wax preventing it from sticking to the bottom of the pan. Sauces, liniments, etc., bottled in this way will be kept free from air or duet. I CORPORAL-BUGLER T. J. RUDD, Of the St. Matthew's (Pontypridd) Company.

Passing Pleasantries Mrs. Noobride: Yes. (Tear, I was married last month. I'd like you to call on me and see the pretty little flat I have. Miss Jelluse: I've seen him, my dear. Mrs. Flashout: Yes, Bobby; all these beautiful silk dresses of mine come from a poor little insignificant worm! Bobby Flashout: Yes, mamma; and papa is the worm, isn't he? Waiter." "Ye", sir." What's this?" It's bean soup. sir." "It doesn't matter what it has been; the question is, What is it now?" "You say you left home on the 10th?" asked the lawyer. Yes, sir." replied the witness. "And camfcrback on the 25th?" Yes. sir." "What were you doing in the interim?" Never was in such a place-" — The Judges What did ytiliif ^it this man with ? Prisoner: I didn't hit huQ. wit' anything. The Judge: But look a# ^im. He's in a horrible condition. Surely, you didn't do that with your fists? Prisoner: No, yer honour. I ketched 'im by the heels and bumped 'im again a brick wall a few times. But I didn't hit wit' any- thing wanst. A crash sounded, followed by a woman's wailing. What had happened? The answer came quickly. I "Mary, Mary!" cried Mrs. Supers Tysshas to her maid, What shaJl I do? I've j-uet had a most dreadful accident, and don't know*what's going to happen. I've broken my new hand-glass, and you know how un- lucky it is to break a looking-glass. It means seven years' unhappiness!" Mary was her mistress's favourite servant, for she was never at a loss for a comforting word. • "Lord. mum!" was her calm and soothing reply. Don't you set no heed on that. Look at me; I'm not fretting, and I've just broken the large pier-glass in the drawing-room!" And then she wondered why it was that her mistress, whom she generally had so little difficulty in cheering, did not on this occasion brighten conspicuously.

THE SINGLES DIFFICULTY AT A I CARDIFF PARK. Correspondence has taken place between Mr. Pettigrew, superintendent of the parks I at Cardiff, and a member of the Victoria Park Lawn Tennis Club as to the rules governing tennis play at the Victoria courts. A complaint was made that members found I it impossible to play singles, and, in reply to a specific question put to him, Mr. Petti- grew has given the following replies :-(1) I Singles are not allowed to play if more players are waiting for a game; (2) the last to start a game are the first asked to take on waiting players. Mr. Pettigrew also pointed out that where less than four persons are occupying a tennis court they must take others on who are desirous of playing so as to make up the four. Mr. Pettigrew adds that these are the rules, and that it is not for him to alter them, and he advises that representation should be made immediately to the parks committee with a view to altering the rules for next season.

 CYCLING. i
CYCLING.  WELSH "HUNDRED." Two attempts were made to break the Welsh 100 miles unpaced road record 011 Saturday. The record, made some years ago by A. Cobner, of Cardiff, stands at 5hr. 46min. The two candidates for honours were Mr. Jesse Davies, the well-known football official, of Tredegar, and Mr. George Sheen, one of the Welsh National Cycling Union cham- pions. The arrangements for checking and timing the riders were, as usual, in the hands of the Cardiff 100 Miles Cycling Club officials. Mr. A. Parker, National Cycling Union, acted as timekeeepr. At 5.30 a.m. Jesse Davies was set going on his long journey, which extends far into Gwent and back. The morning was very cold and a very heavy head wind made all th),&k that any attempt on Cobner's fine time would prove unsuccessful. The first t?i miles was reeled off in 35min. by Davies. At six a.m. George Sheen started, and the conditions were equally bad. However, he covered the first half-score miles in 34min., and looked quite fresh, despite the hard wind. The officials remained on duty until the requisite 5hr. 46min. had expired, and as neither of the men had returned from the outward journey they had then to announce both attacks futiie. HONOUR FOR CARDIFF 100 MILES I CYCLING CLUB. The famous Bath Road Cycling Club have paid the Cardiff 100 Miles Cycling Club a big compliment by inviting the Cardiff Club to send three representatives to their open 50 miles road race on Saturday next. The club I has selected George Sheen, Reuben Giles, and Joe Parker to we2." the Welsh colours.

Peters Again Beaten -< I INCIDENTS IN FIGHT AT CAERPHILLY Dave Peters was again beaten by George West, (London) at Caerphilly on Saturday. West was floored for 8sec. in the very first GEORGE WEST, round, and he rose to his feet looking very "groggy." West was again looking stupid in the second round, but Peters did not carry the fighting to him sufficiently. In the third round Peters broke his rival's nose' with a straight j'lb, but the damage put new life into the Londoner, and he fought with tremendous vigour. The fourth round saw him crashing a left to Peters' head, which caused the Treorky man to reel, and ere he could recover West had shot his favourite right, sending Peters to the boards to take the count.

IPEDEBTRIANISM I
PEDEBTRIANISM The eyes of the devotees of the running I path will be directed once more to the Taff Vale Park, Pontypridd, on Monday, Septem- ber 26, as for the second time this year the 130 Yards Wo, _Id',i Sprint Championship will be raced for.. The position is a curious one, as neither the winner nor loser of the previous race will be competing in the forthcoming event. On August 1 Jack Donaldson (Australia),. owing to a breakdown, was defeated by C. E. Holway (America) by inches, and the World's Sprint Championship, for the time being at any rate, reverted to Holway. When the match with Holway and Donaldson was made Major Taylor (Tasmania) challenged Holway to a race before or after the match with Donaldson, but no match was made. This offer, so we understand, "was repeated by Major Taylor on t night that the final of the big Welsh spri c f was run off, but still Holway stood alo. Taylor's challenge was taken up by E. Eastman, the coloured Canadian runner, and a match was speedily arranged to be run at the Taff Vale Park for £ 50 a-side at 130 yards distance. The Evening Express were appointed stakeholders, and the mon-ey was deposited. Mr. Harris, Major Taylor's manager, then wrote a letter inviting Holway to come in and make it a three-corner -match, but Holway replied that he was going to Aus- tralia and could not compete. On the ground, therefore, that he has refused to defend his title Major Taylor and Eastman claim that they are racing for the I World's Sprint Championship.
