[All RIGHTS Reserved.} A L I V I N G LI E, THE STORY OF A DOUBLE LIFB. 8Y LILY TINSLEY, OF TINSLEYS' MAGAZINE." *MMM of A DAY OF RECKONING," IN THE P.MME "Ta ClULD OF THE Shadow" A LONDON SsflBsr," Cousm DiCK" BLACKW.A.ID Towbrs," &C. PiPT u. CHAPTEE XV.-(Coatinned.) Royal took it quietly enough, and then started jBghtly. I beg your pardon, Mr. Haviland, this is not Sir lowreme's handwriting." Not Sir Lawrence's handwriting repeated Mr. Baviiand, falling back in utter aowaesaent, while the policeman quickly and quietly toek possession of the dvcumicnt, moving at the game ssane nearer to Leo, as the lad noted with a siukmp heart. No, merely a very indifferent imitation," replied Royal, producing from liia pocket-book (iate of Lord Gaxtoa, and lost, i.e^ stolen from him on a race- course not three days before), a letter of the baronet", to himsttf, his invitation, indeed, to make Hunting- ford House his home whenever he wa, in town, on which document he had expended all the okiii which he had been careful to withhold from LeoVj unlucky one. The simple comparison of the two turned the Watering aeale necessarily against the lad, who, more and more impressed with hia trapper's canning »nd daring, which gave no hope for either himself or his Htfcto helpless feve, did he dare to oppese it, could not so BHich as say a ward in his defence. B 21, who afterwards declared he felt just as much up a tree as ever he had done in his life, so deeply impressed had he been by Leo's evident suffering, had nothing left to do but to accept the charge and prepare to take his prisoner away. What 4 jod angel, guardian of a yoang loTe spring- lag up iu two darkened lives, -was it whispered to Mr. Haviland that justice on the thief might be all Very well, but the recovery of his stolen property Wold be far better ? To this end he commanded B 21 to search his prisoner. But this that worthy cbjectad to. In the first piaee the bulk of the mODvr was too great for him to have concealed it about he person, and in the next such a process was out ef order until he was lodged at the statiou. This led to the question: Where, if not upon the thief, was the money V The shutters over the windows were heavy wooden ones, with ponderous iron bars, the opening and tbuttuag of which would undoubtedly have been he"rd in the dining-room. No such noise had been heard, Mr. Haviland was ready to swear and as B 21 had no objection to keeping his prisoner while a search of the roeea was being instituted, i.e.. with the kindly hope that, the money being fotmd, he might be let off more easily than otherwise, all hands were pressed into the task. What would have been the object of such a hiding of the treasure, no one was prepared to say. The search was accomplished thoroughly without any result at all. There was one little incident, however, which made Royal quake. The butler, who had displayed a remarkable pro- pensity for looking in all the impossible places, a fact also brought up against him later on, made vain ■efforts to move the safe, remarking- that the money mignc, nave oeen paced underneath. To be sure it might," said eae footman, with a laugh, if there had been ten met. in the room to lift it up, the same as brought it in. Might as well expect it to be inside." The Rat within hugged the bag closely to him and but for his mingled mental and physical pain could have laughed at the wisdom of such a simple joke. He held his breath a moment later for the butler, evidently a person gifted with some second sight if he had but known it, seemed to be particularly attracted by his hiding-place. "I suppose it's locked," he said, leaning over it and pulling at the door. But the grip and screws held fast, and though the butler suggested timidly that the money might have been slipped in at the aperture — which, by-the-bye, was far too small to admit any light and show up its occupant—everyone felt it was absurd that the thief should have bestowed it in a place from which he could not possibly have hoped to have abstracted it later. All that be: got for his pains a saesring injunction W gei inside acd-aee, acd the safe was finally dismissed from the minds of all present. Now perfectly convinced that the money was actually upon Leo Forrester, Mr. Haviland did his utmost to persuade B 21 to search him before taking him from the house. A little curious in the mattar, and foreseeing possible promotion if he obtained any clue of importance, B 21 showed signs cf giving way, and at last ceoeented, provided Leo raised no objection, which, until he was formally oihargsd, he could of course do. The lad consented readily, not that he saw any hope in so doing—the chain of guilt seemed to him too skilfully forged for that; indeed, he did not wven share in the wonder of the spectators as to the elue to the puszle—but because he was far too stony to reaufc. Royal grew uneasy at the lengthening out of affairs. The seareh, however, revealed no trace of the money, but it brought to light something which puzzled him a little-a lady's ruby ring. Leo, at the exposure of the trinket, for the first time lost his dull apathy. In reply to the policeman's question to Mr. Haviland, Is this part of the stolen property ?" his eyes lit up with a glow of intelligence, his face ftushing as net even the indignity of the search had. made it. No, no," he cried, I have stolen nothing, least a( all that." And he made a movement as if to snatch back his treasure, but B 21, who, on Mr. Havilancils shaking his head in reply to his question, had been turning the ring over critically, drew back his hand. Ah, don't take it away," added Leo, thinking of the great price he had paid in order to retain it for hid little love, for had he disposed of it to supply the means necessary for their marriage, he would not have placed himself in Royal's power, and would not, therefore, have been accused of the crime now placed upon him. Don't take it, away I It isn't mine It kelougs to He paused, not daring to say more, for he felt Royal's eyes upon him, and he feared to breathe even J Nell's name before him, while already he dreaded to think that the ring might by-and-by betray his relations with her, in which case she might atill corns under the ban of his now declared enemy, to say nothing of the drop of bitterness which would be added to her cup of sorrow at the failure of her plans when she found herself deprived of this only cine to find her father and for nought. Poor lad, he felt in this thing, which touched SO nearly his little sweetheart, as ii fate could indeed 1wtve ao new pain in store for him. But chance, as well as Royal, was again3t him. B 21 bestowed the ring carefully in his pocket, saying as he did so, in a tone v>"hieh had quite lost its former kindness, Have a care, young man What you say I shall be obliged to take down as evidence against you." "What do you Wean I" asked Royal, as Leo stood Gleat. ."That just as I left the station Sir Lawrence sent a, description of this ring. I know it by the initial 'E. R.'—(Rutherford was the maiden name ot Nellie's mother)—as having been lost or stolen from hit daughter — at any rate, likely to be recovered from a pawnbroker's or jeweller's." ilr. Haviland now regarded Leo with absolute 4 ferocity. Royal had some difficulty in expressing his delight at this charge, while his victim was utterly astounded at tnis last coup-of fate, which seemed to him actually due to a supernatural agency. I tell you there is some mistake," he gasped, but be could aay no more. The stern accusing faces around him seemed like a stone wall, against which liis helpless innocence cbtshed itself in vain. The agony of that moment was very great to him. but greater to the author of all the eviL In his hiding-place within the safe, the Rat had listened with increasing pain to the accusation of the lad, a pam which had become almost more than he could bear, when by the recognition of his dead wife's ring, his child's acknowledged love-token, he recog- nised, too, her lover. But not, of course, Leo as Royal's scapegoat. For a moment the terrible complication of affairs almost paralysed his powers of thought and even when he roused bimself to face the evil, he was horrified at the consciousness of his helplessness, which forced itself apon him. The knowledge of the lad's suffering told m his broken accents, his evident desire to shield AeJie f lrom sorrow by the los" of the token, and the dis- grace which mu-,t be bis. made him appear so noble, that to know he was (suffering so unjustly must have Aroused admiration and pity in any manly aeart. lo Ihe father, the remembrance of his daughter s love *&" more than sacred. before comprehending this, the Rat had given way f*haj helplessness in the nature of the lad s rescue, now lie admitted no such word as "impossibility. |e said to himself, My child's lover shall not this new injustice.

CYCLING AND ATHLETIC CHAT
CYCLING AND ATHLETIC CHAT (BY SPRINTER). It is easy enough to be wise after the event, but considering the counter attraction at Reading last Saturday, when several important wheeling championships were decade^ for th*s home counties, perhaps the Blackheath Clnb might with-advantage have postponed their meeting at Herne-hill until the following week, or even Bay Bank Holiday. This would suggest itself with additional force when we remember that the club was ex- perimenting on a new ground, after a long succession of annual gatherings at Catford- bridge. For these two reasons one need cot be surprised to note the moderate array of spectators thtit assembled on the famous South London track, DONALD E. LACAIUr. I but the 1500 or so who were drawn to the meeting had the opportunity of seeing an excellent afternoon's sport. Spills at Herne-hill are now few and far between, and it is satisfactory to note that although T. W. Good and U. L Laiablev eftme into neitiiev' serious ij hurt. Perhaps the most important race of the day was tha half-mile scratch event, which A.J. Watson carried off with a certain amount of ease Weatherley finishing second, and Good, who was nearly overturned by the collision referred to rode in a plucky third. Thus the London Poly- technic again distinguished itself by supplying the winner of one of the most important club races of the year. In the mile evele handicap the pace was hoi arid strong, and H. B. Howard, who Bhowed tc such advantage at Chelmsford last Saturday week. tgaic pushed his men along at a clinking turn ol speed. The honours of victory, however, went tc F. Polehampton, of the Anerley B.C., C. 8. Brown and J. Camp, both of the London Polytechnic Club, taking second and third places respectively The programme was pleasantly varied with a number of running events, H. C. Hart, of the Goldsmiths' Institute, winning the 300 yards handi- cap, and A. J. Larkman carrying oS the century sprint. The mile handicap brought out a capita) field, and A. Grubb, of the Hlghgate Harriers who was in receipt of 300 yards start, ran in e -cod first, while C. W. Kibbiewhifce? °' the Putney A.C., robbed T. W. Lock (Spartan Harriers) oi bird place just on the post. It may interest our readers to know that ihf Blackheath Club was established in the year 1869 and that for the last 10 years the. annual meeting has been held at the Private Banks Ground, Catford-bridge. The club is noted especially for its exciting inter-club competitions and among other well-known collections they have antagonised Cambridge Univers^ and Lea Harriers, South London Harriers and Ranelagl Harriers. Independent of this branch of the sport, however, the Heathens go in largely for cross country work, and it is a gladdening sight to stano outside the Greentnan hotel at Blackheath when the members of the South ens pack are jusi starting for a delightful spin o'er field and fallow At one time the tamcrm W. G. George held the club's 4-|-mile t-ballenge cup, bnt tbe trophy is now retained by G. M. Harris. L. O. ICeer is another famous oross-cxxintry man, and bl" game efforts once more resulted in a brilliaut victory over the 1200 yards steeplechase course. But rnnning is not the only function of the Blaek^ club, foi they cultivate light-oared rowing, swimming, And water polo. Mr. J, F. Ponsford, who ig the able coribe of the athletic department, worked with an extraordinary zest for the success this meeting, and the poor attendance was naturally great disappointment to Mm. The Rangers in America evidently ooma of n good cycling stock. Not long "go *8 had William of that ilk riding in this country and! winning the English mile champio^shiPi and now we are informed that Walter SanSer has broken the world's one-mile bicycle rocard by covering; the distance in 2min. 91-sec.. G. E. Osmond, another familiar name in the, English cycling world, is also reaponsible for the creation of a new one-hour safety record, altering the figures of L. S. Meintjes for three miles to 20 inclusive. In all he covered 25 miles in Ihr. 4sec\, as against the South African's record of 24 miles 380 yards. F- Branson also tried his hand at* the flying quarter record established by Lewis Stroud^ reading &Jaec., and this he managed to beat by coverin g the distance in 32 3-5sec.-an improvement by Saturday last will be writ largs in the annals of Reading wheelmen, for they celebrate one -of the most interostiug gatherings yet bald on the new track at Palmer-park. Here again we discovered the ability of London Polytechnic JUeD, and P. W. Brown is to be warmly congratulated on the manner in which he won the single oulc ebampion- ihip for Bueks, Essex, Herts, Kent, Oxon, Surrey, and Middlesex. This race was hotly contested, and the gallant Poly boy only pashed half a wheel in front of Lewis Stroud in the final dnst-mj, G. E. Osmond, of the Anerley C.C., taking third place. There was another championship struggle over the same distance for Berks, Oxon, and South Bucks, which T. J. Lewis, of the Slough C.Cn won by a length. It is gratifying to note, however, that B. F. Warner and E. B. Le Contenr-both members of the local promoting club-tcok second and third places respectively. There was a fine company on the ground and the Beading Club have every reason to be satisfied with the notahie success of their chan i>ionship gather- ing. In September the athletic club of the biseuit town are to bold one of the best meetings of the kind in the South of England, and extenaive preparations are being made. Mi*- T. J.

Morgan, joiner, of 50, Catherine-street, was lined 5a. and costs ior being drunu and disorderly in Bryn-road. FOR f.OMl UNLAWFUL PURPOSE." A tfttSp; named Jchn Williams, was found at 1.30 this morning or tne Gianmor Far!.i-yard. and not being able to give a satisfactory explanation of his presence there, he was sent to prison for 14 days. RKFRESHMENl-HOrgB KEEPERS Dí TROUBLE. Elizabeth Lewis, of 172, High-street, and James Gabriel, of 11, Prince of Wales-voa.i, were summoned for keeping their houses open during illegal hours. They had supplied persons with alcoholic and temperance drinks, but both ptleaded ignorance of the fact that: they had committed a breach of the Jaw. DSA.DLY SHOTS. Seven boys, named Samuel Davies, of John- stret-t; Joseph Tucker, of Jockey-street; Thomas Mabbofc, of John-street: David Mahltot, of John- street; Richard Northv, of Bethesda-street, Daniel Shannon, of Bargeman's-row and John Lock, of Jockey-street, were each lined Is. each for wilfully breaking gas lamps in Pentrewyth-road, Ht. Thomas. iN assault. Elizabeth Davies, a married woman, of Beaufort- place, was summoned for an assault upon Elizabeth Edwards on July 27th. Complainant alleged that defendant had been" hagging at her" all day, and finished up by throwing It i ghtad paraffin lamp at her, which fortunately m¡a>;e. her, and then very thoughtfully threw a bucket of slops en complainant and her husbaad.—Fined 10s., or seven days' in default. WHO COMMITTED THE ASSAULT ? Lowden McAdams, labourer, 7, Hill-street, Swansea, was summoned for an assault upon Rachael Rosser. Complainant's statement as to the assault was lb. y contradicted by defendant, who alleged that sin* tore the shirt off his back, threw a big stone at him, and bit him severely on the leg. A little girl, called for the defence, said complainant sprang on McAdams like a cat.* The case was adjourned. A FRACAS IN TEMPLB-STREET. Heary Brown, plumber, 39, Langdon-place, Swansea, was charged with unlawfully assaulting and wounding John Thomas Merdecai on July 24. On the date named complainant was standing in Temple-street with some companions, when de- fendant came by. Someone called out "Hi." De- fendant turned back, words ensued, and led up to defendant buttoning up his coat, and "shaping out" to complainant, who did likewise. They closed, and complainant was thrown down. Whilst down, defendant kicked complainant in the stomach. He became unconscious and the next morning found himself in the hospital.—Mr. G. J. L. Morgan, for the de- fence, eross-examinad the complainant at some length, but without shaking his evidence.— Edward Merchant corroborated complainant's evidence, and said when the defendant had kicked Mordecai he ran away.—William Draper, another companion, swore to the kicking anti run- ningaway, and Richard Evans gave evidence to the same effect.—P.C. Davies (87), said he was on duty in Temple-street, and saw Mordecai lying on the ground unconscious. He took him into a neighbouring chemist's, where he was given some- thing which made him sick. When he came round he was unable to stand, and witness assisted to take him to the hospital. De- tective Griffiths arrested Brown the same night, and in answer to the charge, he said he only de- fended himself. He shoved Mordecai away axtd he fell.—Dr. C. A. Griffiths, temporary house sur- geon at the hospital, said Mordecai was brought to the hospital in a state of collapse. He had just vomited a considerable quantity of blood. He was put to bed immediately, and towards morn- ing he again vomited about half a pint of blood. He rallied from the shock and left the hospital the previous day. Was told he had been kicked, but there were no marks aave a bruise on the left side of the fore- head.— la answer to Mr. Morgan, witness said it was possible to have severe internal injuries with- out any external mark on the abdomen. The bruise on the head might have occurred from a fall, and the vomiting might have occurred if there had been no kicking.—Prisoner reserved his de- fence, and was committed for trial at the next Quarter Sessions.
SEAMEN'S MDFIEEMEN'S UNION.
SEAMEN'S MDFIEEMEN'S UNION. As Stated in our columns last week, a deputation of the Cardiff branch of the Seamen's aad Fire- men's Union waited upon the shipowners of Car- diff with reference to the wages of the seamen in the port. Yesterday the views of the Shipowners' Association was made known, the result being that they unanimously resolved that the terms demanded could not be granted, and the secretary was directed to write the Union officials, informing them that the association had very carefully considered the proposals that had been made, but, that they found that they were unable to adopt the suggestions em- bodied therein. Some ef the members present ex- pressed the opinion that £3 and £3 5s. per month were very low wages to pay sailors, but it was the general opinion that those rates were not being E aid at the present time, the average being, it was eld, £ 3 10s. and £ 3 15s. per month. It is now the intention of the Union to convene a general public meeting of sailors and firemen in Cardiff, to lay the result of the conference with the shipowners before the men, and to resolve cpon such a course of action as may be seemed expedient. The Union officials express great dis- satisfaction that the shipowners have replied to their proposals in such aa off-hand manner. STATEMENT BY MR. CATHERAY. In the course of an interview yesterday Mr. Catheray said:— U We want the wages to be properly fixed for the time being, and then to have a conciliation board formed to regidate them afterwards. Our demand of £4 5s. all round was only to take effect until the 31st December, and in the present state of the freight market we did not think we were asking anything extraordinary. When you consider the amount of lost time that seamen have suffered from during the last 12 months through trade depression, one can fully imagine what must he the state of their homes. With reference to weekly boats, it must bo noted that in many instances men receiving 28s. and 30s. a week have to stand off during the time their vessels are in harbour, which practically means that they only get eight months' work out of the 12. When we ask that this state of affairs be remedied, we are told that shipowners cannot entertain the question. Wo want to make it plain tha.t for any friction that may ariae within the next few days the blame must not be thrown upon us, for we have tried all we could to have a conciliation board established." WIJ,L THIS ACTION AFFtCT SWANSEA ? So far as we caa be at present seen the action of the shipowners of Cardiff will not directly affect Swansea, though the interests of trade in the South Wales ports, especially where, as in this case, questions of widely-reaching principle are at stake, must of necessity act and rc-aet upon each other. Whether the men's Unions ia all the parts will take united action in the matter remains to be proved, but the developments of the next few days will be eagerly watched by all who are interested in the shipping trade.

- GERMAN SOLDIERS ROUTED BY…
GERMAN SOLDIERS ROUTED BY BEES. A detailed account of an expedition through East Africa, "nderthecommand of Freiberr von Manteuffel, has reached Berlin. In Kwara- guru, where the Sultan Lonjo has been appointed Vali by the Germans, three insurgent chiefs who refused to recog- nise German rules and organized forays, were to be tried. Two submitted, but the third. Matura, from Pongwe, had to be forced to submission. The bead of the troops reached Nime, a thousand metres from Pongwe, upon which the guns were planted. A number of people were seen in front of tke village beating the war-drum amidst howls and yells, and several shots were fired by them. Hereupon the Commander gave orders for the village to be bombarded with grenades. After the fourth shot a remarkable incident took place. The troops as well as the bearers were attacked by a gigantic swarm of bees and completely routed. It took about an hour for them all to collect together again, Sergeant-Major Mittelstaedt and an Ascari being missing. The guns and ammunition had been left behind en the mountain. A patrol was sent out to search for the sergeant, and lie was found at his gun nearly stung to death. An hour afterwards, when the sergeant had recovered, the fight was resumed and the village stormed. The effect of the grenades had so frightened the enemy that the village was completely deserted. As the people of Pongwe had offered armed resistance, and had escaped punishment by fight, the only way to deal with them was to destroy their village.

Phillips was originally charged with murder, but the charge was reduced.
