OUR OUTLOOK.

(From Our Own Correspondent.)October 2.— August and September,

the latterparticularly,werevery moistmonths. The constant rains have seri-ously retarded the dairying industry.The effect of the heavy rainfall on thegrass may be gauged by the fact that,although the farmers are milking con-siderablymore cattle now than earlyinAugust, the amount of milk has not in-creased— on the contrary the cows havefallen off. They will improve when wehave a littlemore sunsnine.

"Your Own" paid a visit to the Ma-*ngatoki factory on Monday and had alook at the pasteurisedplant installedrecently. The pasteurising (or boiling)of milk has the advantageof destroyingall germs and also allows of the milkbeing reduced to a lower temperaturethan ff it were unpasteurised. In

'most factories 52 degrees is about theaverage temperature, but Mangatokican work down to 47. The milk, aftergoingthrough the pasteurisingprocess,passes through the cooling tanks beforereaching the vats. There it is allowedtp ripenbeforebeingchurned intobut-ter. This factory is making over o«eton daily. At present two Governmentdairy experts, Messrs Shirley andThompson, are assisting in working thenew plant. Imight mention that out-side Auckland this is the first pasteur-isingplant in the NorthIsland. ,

The Jersey cattle round this districtare beginningto attract outside atten-tion. Mr Lian, Mangatoki, recentlysold a pedigree bull to aChristchurch buyer for 35 guineas. Hewill be a large exhibitor at the NewPlj'motfth Show inNovember.

PREFERENTIAL TARIFF.

(To the-Editor.)Sir,—Iam struck with an advertise-

ment inyour paper offering £2 2s perweek for a man—last man held the bil-let for nineyears. He must surelyhaveretired as a second Carnegie on thescrew. Well, the next unfortunate thattakes on the job won't makeends meet.1 have long given up any attempt atunderstanding,the tariff. It is quitebeyond my mental capacity. We aretold inoneplace thatmixing andpack-ingtea will employa lot of girl labour,and so there is a special tax put on tea"n libpackets;and whenit waspointedIout that this was a tax on the worker,a wiseacre said, "Oh, the people needno,t buy the packet tea

— they can buyit loose," as all wise womenwill in fu-ture, so the packet of tea will adornthe grocers' shelves. The country sentSir J. G. Ward to England to try andget onr goods on the London mar-ketwith a tax on the consumer. How thepowers that be must have laughed atthe frantic efforts of a party to takethe duty off grain and flour in NewZealand. And here again is anotherrise in meat and flour and bread. Bythe time the rent andbare foodis paidfor out of a small income, where do theclothes come in? Certainly the work-ing man willhave Sir Joseph Ward'scheapprints and laces to fallback on

—theone itemin the tariff thatIsee willbe a benefit; and it would lend colourto the scene to see the carters, we willsay, arrayed in pale pink or blue gar-ments that women are not supposed towear. The fact of the matter is this:We are beinggoverned by a minority;the Government of the day is in thehands of the Trades Unions, and.themost of the leaders areoutsiders. NewZealand has been a happy hunting-ground for the blatant, leather-lungedworking man's "friend" too long. Ihopeat the nextelection to see a standmade, andnative-born New Zealandersreturned to ;the House of Parliament—men that, have the welfare of theircountry at heart, not the place-seekersand time-servers that swallow anythingas long as they keep their seats. Per-sonally,Ishould like to gag Mr Mas-sey, M.H.8., and some of his party.They are the menwhokeep the Govern-ment in office. They are everlastinglysetting the Government on the rightroad. Why don't they let the Govern-ment wake the people up? Let themrun without the Masseybrake on.Theywould finish up with a smash. Ishahpity the men who come after them. Isaw the slump after the Yogel Adminis-tration came to an end, andIhopenever to-witness another. There is toomuch sham going.on, too much pre-tence, aping the old-world style in ashoddy way. Idarenot wVite

—and you

wouldnot.print— the truth,ifItoldyouof some of the jobbery that goes on. MrJ. McPeake must understand that thesauce the Government use for the goosemust on no account be used for thegander. The railway men have a bigpower in their hands, and they should1

see that they return a man who woh*|be whipped into the lobbies like anzughty schoolboy for daring to havean opinionof his own. and voting ac-cording to his conscience.—Iam, etc.,

The Great Home Remedy.

NEW ZEALAND PROFESSIONALTEAM'S TOUR.

THE GAME THEY WILL PLAY.

DIFFERENT FROM RUGBY.

The New Zealanders professionalfootball team on tour inEngland will,according to their originalprogramme,open proceedings next Wednesday witha match against Bramley.It is of interestat this stage to know

the difference between the rules of theNorthernUnionclubs and the NewZea-landRugby Code. The aimof theNor-thern Union officials all along has beento improve the game from the specta-tors' point of view by doing away withtight work and making the game fastand open. Mr J. H. Smith,one of theNorthernofficials and a student of bothstyles of play, analyses the differencesas follows:

—Despite the several changes made,

the dissimilarity in the style of playproduced by the amateur and profes-sional code, respectively, is not nearlyso great as to present any serious diffi-culty inrespectto assimilation,andonecan only assume that many statementson this subject are made without dueconsideration. Let us briefly examinethe question in detail. The chiefpoints of difference may be put downas under:

—(a) The "halfnback" rule.(b) The method of bringing the ball

into play from "touch."(c) The reduction in the number of

players.Ihave purposely omitted from this

list the clause which permits play toproceed in certain circumstances afteran accidental knock-on or throw for-ward, because the ingenuityof playersin abusing this concession; towards con-tinuity of movement has been somarked that it is almost certain thatthe rule will be repealed,and for thepurposes of this discussion it may,therefore, be left out of our calcula-tions.

Passing on to the three outstandingfeatures enumerated above, the "half-back" rule does not affect methodto anextent which requires any greateffort on the part of the player newto the Northern Union game to becomeaccustomed to itsobservance. What isthe difference? Simply that an Eng-lish or New Zealand Union player mayadvance round the pack so long as hedoes not obstruct by standing on hisopponents' side of the ball, but aNorthern Union player is compelled toremainbehind thelast row of forwards,that is, behind the scrummage alto-gether. All that is called for on thepart of a new player, therefore, is re-striction of too impetuous actionuntilthe ball comes out of the pack, andthat this is forthcoming after verylittle experiencehas been amply de-monstrated in the case of Welsh andother playess who have'turned profes-sionals.

With regard to the method of bring-ing the ball into play from "touch,"Ifreely admit that this affects funda-mentalprinciples; more,;.however, be-cause of the altered conditions " causedthereby- than because of>.-the m&6hoie(itself,' fcrr\ ' inf"ttos respect, there,5snothing new to learn. In the Englishand'New Zealand Union system thereis a choice of two courses$ (a) to throwthe ball out so as to alight at rightangles to the "touch-line," or (b) toscrummage at any point between fiveand fifteen yards from the place wherethe ball entered "touch." In the.Northern Union game no option isgiven,'T>ut the scrummage is proceededwith forthwith. The clause which pro-vides for the ball being taken backwhen kicked directly out of play is,however,the featureof the professionalcode which willprobably bother an ex-RugbyUnionexponent more than anyother point he has to learn, but evenin this case the consequent alterationin tactics is capable of speedy incor-poration.

Referring to the reduced side, hereagain a fundamental principle is ad-Wttedly affected, but beyond makingthe game faster and affording greateropportunity for individualism, re-ducing the number of playerscreatesnosituation to which the Rugby Unionplayer is unaccustomed. It is not anuncommon occurrence for a side offifteen to have a couple of players offthe field through injury; indeed, it isremarkable how often players leave thefield without being missed by specta-tors, and Ibelieve that if a RugbyUnion enthusiast, who was unawareofthe legislationwhich has taken place,were to visit aNorthern Union groundwhena match was inprogress.he wouldas likely as not fail to observe thatthere was a diminution in the numberof players engaged. However, be thatas it may, the reduced side would cer-tainly not prevent a Colonial teamfrom displayingits capacity.

There are, of course, one or twoother trifling details.in the respectivecodes,of rules where perfect unanimitydoes not exist, but none of these canfairly besaid to affect the styleof playinanydegree whatever. The NorthernUnion version of the "play the ball"rule, for example, only varies fromoieoriginalin so far as aplayer is not ex-pected or permitted to put the balldown until he has regainedhis feet.The Northern Union allow a goal tocount even though the ball may havebeen touched in transit, while such anincident in the othergame would nega-tive the score. The amateurs also per-mit charging in the case of free-kicks,but the professionals do not. Then.,again, amateur rules allow ten yardsprotection (from players who are "off-side") to the man waitingfor the ball,while the professional code onlyallowsfive yardsgrace;but this and theothe*-trivial points of difference just enu-merated would not unduly tax the in-telligenceof anybody desirous ofgrasp-ing their meaning, nor are they calcu-lated to cause confusion in actualprac-tice, andIhave onlyreferred to themat allso as.tobe quite fair.

After considering the question in allits bearings.Icontend that the wantof uniformity in the two codes is in-sufficient to place any serious obstaclein the way,of capable Rugby Unionexponents giving of their best, andNorthern Union officials have no mis-giviri%s on that account.

Jn the face ofthisand.without thedepositions ofthe lower court to.guide them an<|*disclose the discrepancies betwee^the stories told by some of thewitnesses, the grand jury couldnot do otherwise thanas they dids.They could not find a true billwhen they could get no evidenceto connect the accused with thecrime. It is an open secret tnatthirteen jurymen were in favourof throwing but the bill and nine jfor returning a true bill, and thathad it not been for the Judge'sstrong and pointed directions thejury would have been practicallyunanimous in throwing.out thebill. Itis anunfortunate business,but it will serve to emphasise aweakness in the grand jury sys-tem, for.it showsthat aconspiracyof silence on thepart of witnessesmay defeat the ends of justice. Aswe have already said,a grand jurycan onlypay attention to the evi-dencepresented"to it,anditiscon-ceivable ,that even, in a murdertrial the essential witnesses mayrefuse to give any evidence incri-minating the accused. It is anargument,in favour of the aboli*-tion of the grand jury— and insaying so we intend no reflectionon the jurors— and the placing inthehands of the Judge,the respon-sibility of saying whether there isa prima facie case established,whichaught to go to^a petty jury.It must be remembered that thegrand jury had nq access. to,theevidence given at any preliminaryhearing or enquiry.

Two years.a^d theJate Right Hon.R..J. Seddon set tho St. Helens Ma-ternity Hospital,Dunedin,on a courseof usefulness.' So "far,'according to theStar, the results are interesting andsatisfactory. Since the opening of theinstitution 352 patientsTfaveHbeen

tended to,357 births resulting. Five ofthe 352 mothers were- blessed withtwins. Of the total'number of births,190 were boys and 167 were just girls.The infantile mortality is only 1percent., and tho still births slightly over5 per cent, of the cases treated in thehospital. Therehave been no maternaldeaths, but of the total number o£ pa-tients treated twelve havebeen back to^£he institution,for'the seebnet time. Injblie district the nurses of St. HelensIHospital havo attended forty-five pati-ents, of whom eleven were emergencyballs. Of'the totalnumber of patients[treated in the hospital,something likeeighty came from different districts.

In our reportof the caseP.B.Fitz-horbert v. C. M. Townsendj heard atthe Supreme Court on Wednesday, weomitted to state that costs had alreadybeen paid. The order for the paymentof £100 was made, as stated, by con-sent. Mr Wright, who appeared forplaintiff, applied,withdefendant's con-sent, for the statement of defence to,heremoved- from the C«mrt*)'file,: arid ex-pressed the regret bf defendant thatthat statement -had .been .filed.: HisHonour saidhe would beunable,tohavethe statement removed rrbm tne file;but no doubt this publicstatement ofiegret would fulfil the purpose.

WELLINGTON, October 3.;'. "A good many peoplehave an ideatthat, because a member of Parliamentis paid £300 per year,he should beableto savemoney," saidMr G.Laurenson,member for Lyttelton. "Well, if any-one likes to analyse the figures,he willfindthatthe memberofParliament who

In the face of tlie exceedinglysevere criticisms by the press ofthe Dominion of the grand jury'saction in throwing out the bill inthe charges laid against eightOpunake men, of unlawfully,as-sembling and assualting oneHill,it becomes necessary for us to re-turn to the subject. On Tuesday,it will be remembered, we expres-sed our regretat whatappeared tobe amiscarriage of justice,but wewere not then fully seized of thecircumstances which led* to sounexpected a. termination ofthe case. Atany rate, our know-ledge of the gentlemen of thegrand jury was sufficient to pre-vent us from passing,,upon themsuch, severe anpf unmerited strict-uresas someofour.contemporaries— withno knowledgeeither of thefact? of the case or of tfts jurors—have done. The New ZealandTimes went so far as to reflectupon the residents &f,/tl*e distrj.ptby.suggestinga change of venue.{The Auckland Star, in the bourseof a long leading article, says it"willnot insult the intelligence ofthe jurorgby suggestingthat theydid not believe that any primafacie, case Jiaji',bee;n made outagainst theaccusedfandimmedi-ately proceeds to dp worseby, sug-gesting that the jurors/'claimedfor themselves the right to decidewhether the defendants oiight tobe.punished for a breach of the,lawthat they had undoubtedly* ;cpm-mitted.''

The&Swords* ytetS'writ-ten -without any-knowledge,of thefacts, though the Star assumes aknowledge, in fact, prejudges andc.onviqts the accused, without giv-ing them tlie right of trjal, insay-ingthat "ourreaders ate probablyaware- that defendants h.ad met to-gether for the special purpose- ofIinflicting punishment,on their vic-tim.'.' Tnis -we.regardas argross.l^unfair.'and improper statement toInalte. lThe accused Were1sent'upfor.trial, and itw;a9:the/duty,of thegrand jtiry, after hearing the evi-dence of the :,wifnesses,, to .saywhether there' was a prima faciecaseto gobefore a;petty jury. TheAucklandStarconvicts them with-out'trial. The- grand jurors, beit marked, are; not expected tohave anyknowledge ofa case theyhave to deliberate upon beforethey enter the jury room.' Theyare 3upposed, however, to observesecrecy as to what has occured inthat room, and on that accountthey and we are somewhat at adisadvantage in,rebutting the un-kind and uncalled for criticismslevelled at them. For all that wewillrisk the consequences of dis-posing some of those "secrets."The' jurors then, . went into thatroom,with perfectly opeji minds,dismissing for- the time1 being allthe reports aliS gossip Qiey mighthaVe^eafd,.aboutJ&&business be-foreriliem^ Ob" the "inditttmentwere the "names/of jPduffwijtiiess,es—the .victim.of >Pthe assaultj the

DEBATE ON THE REFORM BILL.

FIRSTREADING CARRIED.Per Prow Association.WELLINGTON, October 3.

In the House of Representatives thisafternoon Mr Hogg continued tho de-

bateon the motion thatleave shouldbegiven to Mr Barclay to bring m thePublic Services Reform Bill. He ex-pressed himself favoiirable to grantingpoliticalfreedom toall employeesof theState, but he thought State servantsshould avoid indulging too freely in

party politics.Mr Bennett moved "the previous

question," with a view to determiningitne deliate-J 2, " I "~ , This was secondedbyMr Kidd.'"Mr Massey protested against the at-tempt,toprevent discussion of what wasan* inrportant.question.

The Premier' said the procedure ofspeaking at lengthon the first readingof a Bill was unusual, and if tho ques-tion was to be discussed. it BhcuM be'jlone on the second reading. The Gov-ernment desired to goon with theLandBill,and not todebatea measurewhichwould notsettle the matter one wayorthe other.

The motion for "the previous ques-tion" was lost-by 37 to 29, and the de-bate proceeded^

THE COAL COMBINE.

(Per Press Association—

Abridged.)WELLINGTON, October 3.

The Councilmet at2.30 p.m.The LandandIncomeAssessment Act ♥

Amendment Billreceived from theotherHouse was read a first time.

FIREBRIGADESBILL.The Hrfn. Mr George resumed the de-

batoon the FireBrigadesBill. He wasopposed to the principle of the Bill, ashe heldthat insurance companiesshouldnot be called upon to supportbrigades.He contended that instead of bringingdown patchwork amendments the Gov-ernment should have repealed the Act,which was a disgrace to the StatuteBook, and introduced an' entirely newmeasure. Under the' Act, the Govern-1ment should have paid l-17th of the;total cost Wellington, or £401, andnow they pifoposV! topay £250 a year.Exclusive of the chief.'centres, fifteendistrictswerealreadycreated,andevenwith a population limit of 5000 pro>posed it would be possible to createunder the new Bill thirty-one boards.His estimate of the cost waa;£50,000 ayear, and yet the Government"proposedto contribute only £1500. The profitsof insurance companies to-day, he de-clared, were only 6 per cent., out ofwhich to pay dividends,and they wereasked now to contribute 5 per cenj^. oftheir premiums,leavingthemselves only1per cent. This meant that rates mustbe raised, or the companies must ceaseto exist. Regarding clause 7, dealingwith the Government's contributions,he would movethat Government contri-butions should be one-seventh,and thebalance foundby the companiesand themunicipalities concerned. He asked,how they were to get at outside com-panies for cbnEributions^— Lloyd's, forinstance? Lloyd's would be able to dounderwriting at lower rates than NewZealand companies. Clause 8, empow5,eringboards to borrow, was amost ex-traqrdinary clause., intended to enable_boards to obtain an overdraft to startupon,but what bank would give themanoverdraftat 5 per cent.?' The clauseshouldbe eliminated. He criticised theclause respecting payment by a boardfor plant andproperly'taken over,andcontended that boards should get theplant and propertyused for fire-extin-guishing purposes free.

The Hon. Mr Callan agreedwith! the.Hon. Mr George that last year's*Billshould be repealedentirely and a new-Act provided. '; : ' '. «

The Attorney-General, replying,saidthe objections raised could be threshedout by the committee. There was noprinciple to discuss, the principle hav-ing been affirmed in the Act to whichthis,Bill was anamendment. With re-gard to the Hon. Mr George's state-ment as to the Government's contribu-tion in tho city of Wellington, the firebrigadeasked for £122 a year as a con-tribution, and the^ Government gave£250. He opposed the contention thatthe Government should contribute asmuch as the municipalityof Wellington.

The second reading was agreed to,and the Bill was referred to the JointStatutes Revision Committee.TRADE MISREPRESENTATIONS. :The Police Offfnces Bill was commit-

ted. The Attorney-General moved a.new. clause to the effect- ;fchat. "Everypersoncommits anoffence, and,is liable,to a&ne not.exceeding £20, .whp pub-licly uses, anconnection withMs busi-nessor calling, wordsor initials leadings,to asuppositioncontraryto fact thatheholds a degree,diploma, or certificateof any university or other institution;the burden of proof in any prosecution,to fallupon thedefendant. Registered,medical practitionersusing the title ofdoctor ,are exempted from the provi-sion." The clause was agreed to* with'the addition of aproviso.moved.by theHon. Mr Callan that rio prosecutionshould take place without the .consentof the Attorney-General.

of the tiger! Shallmy lordswear away'his precious life, and diein silence, andIspare the caitiff because of his whin-ing? No,no;by Allah!"

The dwarfstruggled andpleaded des-perately,but the furious womanseemedendowed with frightful strength, for inspite of the united exertions of herprisoner and his mistress, she draggedthe poor wretch along the rock-hewnpassage to the water-arch.

"Let him live, for my sake!""No! For the sake of my lord, he

dies!"But Beppo, seeingdeathso imminent,

and that the waters glittered to receivehim, fought with the strength of des-peration. The threshold of the cavewas slimywith the spray of many years,and as the struggling feetwereset uponit,both slipped, and dwarf and Moorplunged into the abyss. Their mingledcries and the splash of the deadly ele-mentsoundedsimultaneously,the waterclosed above them, and the frightenedCora knelt, gazing in the depths andcalling on their names.

A moment, and the vrater was dis-turbed. And the woman's head ap-peared above it, ghastly and gasping.She struck out for the rocks, andcatch-ing the hanging vines, dragged herselfinto the mouth of the cave. Then,standing erect, she shook her clinginggarments loose, and laid her cold, wethand upon the shoulder of the kneelinggirl.

"Rise," she said, in a deep tone, aschilling as her touch. "There is notime for trifles. We must away toSternburg."

CHAPTER XXV.

The Dark Hour Before Dawn—

Await-ing the Blow.

Cora followed her without objection.She was afraid to object. The last actof the wild creaturehad so appalledherthat will and words seemed not herown. Only as they went she venturedto look back at the water, in hopefulexpectation, but caught no glimpse ofBeppo. It rippled and glittered as ifsuch a beingnever had existed. Thenthey entered the horrid hallway, andshe askedherself whither she was going.To Sternburg. Like a storm blast, herthoughts swept thither, and the poorcretin was forgotten. Shehad toomuchfco think of.

Ere long she and Zela, attired andveiled according to the prevailingcus-tom, werehurrying through the groves,and along the lake-shore toward thetown of Sternburg, where so many in-terests centred.

As they neared it the moon was fardown in the west,and the morning-starwas tremblingon the eastern mountain-tops. The.dark hour before the dawnand thechit!breeze that everharbingersthat dawn was creeping over the earth.Silence hung over Sternburg, like abrooding spirit, anditsdomes and spireswere becoming shadowy in the gather-ing darkness. Only the light in thewatch-tower of the barracks glimmeredsleepily. :"'Twill soon be dark enough," saidZela, as they camenear the gate. "Itis for that theywait. Take Zela's word,they'll havemore maskers to hang inSternburg thai!gibbets to hang them."

Cora shuddered, but spoke not; shehad her '.teeth-clenched in expectationof theespiwsion,andthe tuuraitofhopesand fears in. her heart was painful inthe extreme.

"Who goes there?" challenged aheavy, sleepy voice out of the gloomahead."

Two poor women of the gipsies,come to seek the earlymart," saidZela,inbroken words, imitating the dialectof the wanderers she wishes to pass asbelongingto.

"Gipsies, faith! Advance-," said theguard, with a bluff laugh. "By myword, lasses, Iwell trow 'tis not themart ye seek, but the hanger's showthat's the attraction." '

"A hangman's show?" said Zela."Aye,innocent oneof the silver-seek-ingpalm— a goodly one,at that. And,by my word, you ought to prosper, forye are eager and early for your work.Pass in and on unless ye wish to bideand spay my future.""Thyhand,"said Zela,steppingbold-ly forward into the faint glimmer ofthe dying lamp.

CHAPTER XXlV.—Continued.The light moved low down, as if the

person bearing it stooped to examinethe corpses as he went, but that personwas invisible.

Cora's teeth chattered, and she feltZela straightenherself and draw a deepbreath, as people do when they nervethemselves to encounter danger.

"Let us fly beyond the doors," shewhispered.

"No," was the low, hoarse answer,"Zela will not move. Ha! Look!"

As, if the object of terror had heardthe whispers the lanternwasraisedhigh,and a squat, broad-shouldered, long-armed, big-headedfigure became visiblepeering at them with gleaming eyes.

Cora pressed her hands on her heartand murmured a prayer. Zela drew abright instrument fromiher mantle andheld it toward the figure."Geni, false or true!" she said, witha slight quaver,

"this test shall trythee!""Lady1ladymine1 My LadyCoraI"ranga joyous, screeching voice,throughthe passage, and the dwarfed lantern-bearer was seen rushing toward them.

"Stay! stay!" cried Cora, seizingZela's arm,

"it is my page,my faithfulBeppo!"

In a couple of moments the cretinpage was at his mistress' feet, pouringout his joy at meetingher once moreinrude, disjointed,but affecting terms.He had followed when she visited herfather and her brother in the prison,in company with Bardn Bertholf, hadawaited her return outside the gates,andmurmuredthatshe camenot. Whenthe baron'sboatleft the water-stepandhe saw the nobleman with a muffledfigureinhis arms, heknew thatitmustbe his lady, and ran along the bank inthe directionof the governor'shouse tointerceptthem, tokill her captor,tosaveher, to do everything that a big soulin a little body might perform. Butthe maskedboatman interfered,and thefrightful combat in the water ensued,and he, trembling on the bank, beheldher gallant rescue and escape, and fol-lowed on t)ie shore-line,but lost themin consequence of followingall its bend-ings.

He hadreturned to the city, downofheart,'he said, but when he heard thatPaul Frenett and soldiershad been sentout to capture her, he asked the waythey went,and followed and found theirtrack!and here, thank Heaven,he was,in time to see the capture of her gal-lant friend,and learn that she wassafe."You saw him captured?" said boththe womenina breath.

1'Aye,mistress,Iwascrouching inthewoods and heard it all. Iwould havesprung forth and stabbed the villain,Paul,butthatIknewitwould notservethy friend, the soldiers beingpreß^nt,andIshould have perished, and neverseen thee more."

"Good, Beppo! What said theywhen they tookhim?""He begged the secretary to draw hissword and cleave his heart!"

"Mercy me! The villain did not doit?".

1'Nay, my lady! He was not kind

enough for such a gentle deed.""Kind for such a deed as that?"

cried Cora. "Alas, alas, poor Beppo,clear thy thoughts, andspeak withpointof plainness."" 'Tisplainly thatIspeak," answeredthe page sorrowfully. "

The killingofhim then wereaheavenlymercy towhatwill follow in von city."''

What!what! Think youthey'llkillhim for his father's death?"

"Nay, worse, my lady. They'll killhim for the mask he wore to save thee,andyethis father is alive,andsee themdot."

"Alive! Alive!" cried Cora, half-laughing,half-shrieking, " then he willnot die! He has done no crime to diefor!"

"The mask: The mask, my lady!"With one wild stare at the speaker,

the young girl threw up her arms witha shriek, and fell upon the breast ofZela, sobbing:."Alas!alas! The fatal lawof Stern-

burg! No power can save him, Zela!""'Tis a lie!" cried the Moorish wo-

man, throwing the half-fainting girl onone arm, and facing the dwarf fiercely."He wears the talisman of Zela. Theycannot harm him. They dare not fortheir souls!""No, no!"cried Cora. "His father,wicked as he is, will never let himperish! He's no respecter of the laws,and when he knows the prisoner is hisson, he'llset this monstrouslawaside."

"He'llnever knowit,mistress," saidthe dwarf. "They411 kill him in themack.""But the prisoner will know hisfather, and reveal' himself."

"He never will, my lady. He willdie in silence."

"What meanyou?""Alas, alas! my mistress," sobbed

thedwarf, fallinguponhis knees. "For-give me. My mind was thick and dull.Idid not think of all the evil till itwasdone."

"Speak!,Speak!""Frenett was bent to bind his lips,dearlady,thathemightnotrevealhim-self, and to escape the shame he sworean oath thathe would never speak normakea sign to let the peopleknow whocliedbehindthe mask."

"What! Cruel, cruel! not even tothe governor, his father?"

"Ala's! He deemed that he hadWiled his, father!"

"And you, accursed wretch!" criedZela, springing on the hapless page."Youknew he hadnot,and stoodsilentwhile he swore! You dog, whom Godrefused a shape, where have you gained;ho power of speech, the' shadow.of a;oul?"

"Mercy! mercy! Let me go!" criedBeppo, writhing to free himself fromher grasp and reach his mistress."Mercy! Mistress! Save me!"

do more in the interests of settlementthanhad been done for the past dozenyears.

THEPREMIER.The Premier said that under themea-

sure1,605,850acresofCrown lands wereavailable for converting to freehold,and the whole of the Grown lands heldunder the optional system were alsoopen to freehold tenure. One of thereasons that land for settlement leaseswerenot placedin the same position asleases inperpetuity was that for yearsto come the Government would have tocontinue to purchase estates under thissystem, and it was necessary to providelegislationto guardagainst these landsbeing again aggregated. They werenotcontinuingthe optionalsystem.Re-ferring to Mr Massey's statement thatevery purchaser of freehold was,an op-ponent to Socialism, he said that whenthis country wont in for State railwaysit adopted State Socialism. He con-tended that a manplaced on the landten years ago without any capital wasnow clamouring for,the freehold, andthere weremanymenwithout land andcapital at the present time who weredesirous of getting on the land. Theyshould be given>the same opportunityof makinghomes for themselves as weregiven to others ten years ago.

OTHER.MEMBERS.Mrdfillssaid that before the Oppo- j

sition began to agitate for the freehold jvery few of the holders of lease-in-perpetuity desired to acquire the free-hold. He believed in the optionalsystem. \Mr W.Fraser did not like there-valu-

ation proposal, neither, he said, didmen in the country like it.

Mr Malcolm said that, being a free- jholder, he was opposedto the Bill,be-cause it stillcontained the elements oflandnationalisation.

Mr Reid urged- that better provisionshould bemade to encouragesettlers tosearch for minerals on their lands.

Mr Flatmari*considered the 66 years'lease too long.

Mr Mander claimed that a numberof suggestionsmade by the Oppositionsideof theHousehad been embodied inthe Bill. He urged that an incentiveshould be given to settlers to go intothe back-blocks by making it easier toobtain the freehold.

A resident of Johannesburg, writingin the London- DailyMail, cheerfullyclaims that Johannesburgis theliveliestcity onearth. Even Paris, ruled afterdark by "Apache" ruffians, is lesslive-ly than Johannesburg, for in the Afri-can city bulletsspeedby day as well asby night. "Is there any realdanger ofbeing hit by a stray bullet in theChampsElysees inbroaddaylight? Ormaimedby dynamite in the Tuilleriesat lunch-time ? Or heldup and robbedat 3 p.m. outside the Grand HotulP Ithink not. Then eliminate theseConti-nental Bayswaters." In Johannesburgyoumayhestruck by abulleti findyourcollar ablaze with paraffintaturatedrubbish ,haveyour house blownup withdynamite,be "knob-kerried" by aZulumad with drink, be beaten into,a jellyen suspicion of being a blackleg, orsand-baggedskilfullyfrom adoorwayasyou walk home at night. In a sampleweek of life od the Rand a bank washeld up, andbulletswere thick inCom-missioner Street,soldierschargedstrik-ers with swords and bayonets, a storewasblownup by dynamite,Chinese wel-comed police with stones and bottles, adozen native heads weresplit open in abeer-fight in a native compound, therewerea few robberies with violence,andan incendiary fire, certain diamondshares jumped up to £20 on the disco-very of large stones, which weresubse-quently found to come fromKimberley,1and a prominent financier disappearedwith a portmanteau full of otherpeople's money. "On the Reef thereare more revolvers than honest men,and if you do not hear a shot beforesunset you remark on the dulness oflife." Inthe "City of Gloom" the situ-ationhas neverBeen sobad. "It is im-possible," says the Mail's special cor-respondent,"to find oneman who looksforward with confidence, or even hope,to the next twelvemonths. Every weekretrenchment becomes more drastic.Every day swells the ranks of the un-employed.Only the wealthiest can ob-taincredit. Inone year the municipalvaluationofJohannesburghas fallenby—£10,000,000. But the output fromthe mines is still £2,000,000 a month."

DEBATE IN THE BLOUSE.MRMoNAB'£ SPEECH.

Per Press Association.WELLINGTON, October 3.

The Houseresumingat 7.30, the Hon.Mr McNab moved the second readingof theLand Laws Amendment Bill. Hecongratulatedmembers on.the passingof theLand andIncomeTax AssessmentAct, which,he said, wentmuch furtherthan the provisions contained in hisBill of last year. He desired to drawmembers' attention to theclauses doing'away with the lease-in-perpetuity sys-tem. One of the points thatwould ariseanthe future was theinterestof tenants:under the 999 years' lease, which wasincreasingye&r byyear* Heasked theHouse todo,away withleaseholds whichwere^orilyso inname/ and constitute intheir'place a 66 years'.renewable lease.Heknew'somemembers consideredthatwasr too long a term,- but there werevarious classes of lands in which a fairreturn could' n\yfc = be obtainedin a few years. He believed aproblem would occur in the fu-ture when 42 years' leases wereexpiring> and hev would .ask the Houseif ttiey could not give these people abetter system of leases

— perpetualrightof renewal. The terms of the Bill,hecontended, were absolutely fair,i TheCrown appointedanarbitrator,and thetenant did likewise, and these two inturn appointed,a third. In*shis Billthe; Government granted the tenantsthe right.totimprbvemeftfe. Therecordof thVcohcfetitfrf'of the land in its ori-ginalstate wouldJbe available to theGrown and to tenants at all times, andwouldgo a long way towards giving afair assessment.. GH^uee/16 allowed alltenants'iopay insums of £10 up to 90per cent, of the capitalvalue, so thatunder such-an arrangement, when re-paymentshad been made up to 50 percent,of thecapitalrvalue, the rent wasreduced one-half. Under this Bill pre-ference in land ballots was to be giventolandless applicants. Section 50 gavepreference,after,landless and other ap-plicants had been satisfied, to formerunsuccessful applicants* He added thatitwasproposedtoallowholders oflease-,in<-perpeiuity sections to convert to re-newable lease, and soobtain thebenefitof cheaper rent. He intended in com-mitteeto bringdown a clause to allowholders of leases- inminingdistricts'toconvert to renewable leases. Proceed-irtg, he said provision was made in the

j.Bill to permit a leaseholder to' acquirethe freehold by arbitration, .as against,-ihji. p^o-yjsions;under ylast year's.Bill

. .^hathe,gouhl^obtainitat auctiqn. Hocontended that after granting this itwas advisable preyed the aggrega-tionof estates, andhe thoughthe wouldbqan aposition;toyrobmit clauses whichwould have'the effect of -keeping these

properties,.separate for alltipae.,:J5»-woul4 also ask.for the pro-

visions,against aggregation to. be put..into operation for all transfers of landfrom theCrown, after this,measure,wasput on the StatuteBook. Under clause27 provisjcgE?wae made to prevent thetransfji^pf leases until the lessee hadresid^\c6niiHUously on his lease fortw^y*e^&, 29 provided for thedivisionJo¥\lands into three classes, soas to, admit,of extendedareas of third-class lands beingheld. Clause 39 pro-vided that aholder ofapasturage.leaseor license may cultivate aportionof hisrun under the Lands for Settlementsection. The termof lease was tobe33years, with perpetualright of renewal.Referring to dummying,he saidit wasan interesting study to note how thishad developed during the last fewyears, and hecontended that the ballotsystem was partly responsible for thispractice. He did not infer that thegreatJbulk, qf.applications came fromdummies;,l>us he contended that therewas a fair percentage of dummy appli-cations made.I--' t£ "

WHY TEETH DECAY.

Oho of the greatest* disadvantagesthai civilised manhas to contend withis the decay of the teeth. Man in anaturalor pre-civilisedstate invariablyhadgood teeth,butcivilisedmanalmostas invariablyhas badones. The neces-sity of chewinghardfoodkept the teethof savages in good repair. Continualmastication stimulates,the flow of bloodto fh| teeth, and thus causes them todevelop and keep in good,order. Theartifiical food of civilised man needscomparatively little mastioation, andthus his teeth aro not used nearly somuch as those of his ancestors. It is awell-known fact that any part of thebody fallingintodisuse rapidlydegene-rates. Sweet and starchy foods alsogenerateanacid which destroystheena-mel, causing crevices to form in whichgerms lodge. These multiply, and thecavities increase until the whole toothdeqays. Modern science has taught usthat a groat manydiseases spring fromimperfect mastication caused by badteeth.

To keep the bodyin goodhealth it isnecessary tokeep the teeth ingood re-pair. A. E. Sykes, chemist, oppositothe Theatre, has just imported a largeassortment of the latest and best pat-tern tooth-brushes from the best Eng-lishmakers. He alsohas toothpowdersandpastesof alldescriptions as recom-mended by the leadingdentists. Seewindow display.

It is hard toimagine

a moresevere test for coalthan that afforded by the"Discovery" on the Antarc-tic Expedition. "Coalbrook-dale" was used entirelyduring thelongperiodspentamong the Ice and snow.The Engineer wrote on hisreturn: COALBROOKDALECoal "wasused entirely forSteaming, Cooking, andWarming purposes, and Ican positively say that noclass of coal couldhave beenmore suit-able inevery way."

Ifyou use coal for eitherof /the above purposesyouwill find that "Coalbrook-dale" will give you thesamesatisfactionthatIt didtothe "Discovery"pioneers.

Insteadof the blood taking up wholesomenourishment to buildup the system,it absorbs part of thispoisonousmat-ter, and this poison seeks an outlet ]through theporesof theskin,causingpimples, boils, blackheads, andblotches. Gases are generated bythis fermenting matter, which getinte the stomach, upset digestion,coat the tongue,and taint thebreath.

tr-^. BLUE FLAGFlag\ LIVER CUBE

Acts directly on the liver and stimu-lates its action; there is then a freeflow of bile, whichisnature's cathar-tic, and this causes the bowels tomove regularly and naturally everyday. Blue Flag Liver Cure ispleasantto the taste.
