-? Gambling for a Wife. (By WILLIAM F. BERNTSEN.) The owner of Skinner street fixed his gaze on Lady Railford as he uttered the last word*, but the beautiful face betrayed no emotion. "It is somewhat hard," he continued, "for a man of my sympathetic nature to narrate the events which followed; still, it is a self- imposed task, and, for the sake of Lady Rail- ford, I will proceed. If she should learn some extraordinary facts, I cannot help it, as evenhs will prove." "Go on, sir," said my lady. "In consequence of my friend's success in his love suit, and the knowledge that all my overtures were discarded, I did what many a man has done, namely, plotted and planned for revenge. It is not very nice to Bay such things of oneself, but the venom had so entered my soul that I was prepared to sink to any depth of degradation in order to accom- plish my object. I tried to bring my erring friend back into Club-land; I tried-and with a certain amount of success—to turn his thoughts again to eur beloved cards and other means of gambling. It availed me little just then, for he harked back to his love and married her—married the woman for whom I would have øold my soul. After the wedding they went to Italy for some months, and, on their return, I called upon them. I was received with great cordiality, and immediately got to work again. Sir Digby accepted an invita- tion from a mutual friend for a few weeks' shooting, and I formed one of the party. They were rather a fast set, and after dinner cards were the order until far into the small hours. I noticed th-at my friend's honeymoon trip had not improved his playing, and the stakes ran higher every night. It was with unmixed satisfaction that I noted my friend had again become possessed of an insatiable love of gambling. He lost heavily, and at the break up of the party, instead- of returning home, we found ourselves in London plunged into a vortex of dissipation. One night-and here I must ask my listeners to remain quiet-bel, lost thirty thousand pounds at euchre. The following day he had to resort to a certain firm of money-lenders, to whom I introduced him, and borrowed' fifty thousand pounds at a little over forty-five per cent. We played again that night, but still Dame Fortune was against my friend, and I had to assist him on several occasions in order to pull him through the night. I was careful to obtain an IOU for the sums I advanced. About two o'clock in the morning he became greatly excited, and, rising from the table, exclaimed, 'I'm a ruined man.' I suggested that another bottle of wine would calm his nerves, and then quietly asked him the total amount of his losses. He told me that since leaving home he had lost one hundred and seventy thousand pounds—without mentioning the sum bor- rowed from the commercial gentlemen I have mentioned. He informed me that, owing to depreciations in the value of land and other causes, it would be impossible to meet his happily. I took the precaution to become pos- sessor of all the pieces of paper my friend had signed, not forgetting the large item with the conunercial gentlemen before mentioned. I sent him several letters, -which he thought fit I to ignore; but eventually he consented to receive a representative of mine, who, he was informed, was empowered to come to a satis-! factory arrangement and bring documents of I great importance with him. Now listen My re- presentative came to this Hall ostensibly on a fishing excursion, but really on business intent. The first day he arrived they went to the riverside together, and, to show his apprecia- tion of my kindness, Sir Digby Railford, I gambler, robber, and murderer, robbed him of the contents of his pocket-book and threw him in the river. He was drowned." "Liar!" cried Sir Digby, as he sprang towards his accuser. "Keep back," said Stebble-Chick, a8 he levelled his revolver, "you will find it better to take matters quietly." "Quiet, you hell hound!" yelled Sir Digby. still advancing. "Fire if you can Click! click! The hammer of the revolver rose and fell as the chamber revolved, but no report followed. Missed fire! In another motnent he was in the powerful grasp of his adversary. "Help, Greaves, help!" screamed the owner of Skinner-street. The action of his dutiful servant was most inexplicable, for, instead of rushing to the aid of his worthy master, he produced a stout piece of rope from his coat pocket, remarking as he did 80;- "Don't hurt my dear master more than is necessary, Sir Digby, and if you will kindly place him in this chair I think I can prevent him doing himself any harm! Thank you, that's just the position. It's very hard for a man of my sympathetic nature to bind his master in a chair, but, as he remarked this morning, necessity knows no law. In another moment, sir, you can release your man— there! I think he looks capital; one would almost fancy that he was used to it!" "Traitor," cried Stebble-Chick, "you un- loaded that revolver." "I did," said Greaves coolly, as he motioned to Sir Digby to take a seat and smiled encou- ragingly to Lady Railford, who was dumb- founded by the extraordinary turn things had taken; "I took them out while you went for a stroll in the village." A paroxysm of rage seized his master, whose veins stood out like whips, and, with eyes almost starting from their soclsjts, he raved and cursed until prostrated by exhaustion. "That's right," said Greaves, "now you'll be quiet and listen. For Heaven's sake, don't repeat those antics, you might break a blood vessel, and think how we should miss such a distinguished gentleman." Lady Railford had recovered herself and gazed like one in a dream on the strange scene. "I want you to listen, Colonel Harfield, to the statement I am about to make. If, as you advised Sir Digby, any mistakes should creep in, I trust that you will rectify them." "Be careful; remember, you are aa deep in the mire as I am in the mud," said Stebble- Chick. j "That's not an original remark, and will not weigh with me in what I am about to say. You have been listened to with groat atten- tion, and I claim the same respect." "You shall have it," cxclaimed Sir Digby. "Very good. Twenty-five years ago, George Harfield, I was lieutenant in the 97th, but left that regiment in order to join an Indian regiment, of which you were colonel. I served with you for about two years, when I returned to England to be married. At the expiration of my leave I rejoined my regiment, full of life and hope for the future. I brought my wife back with me, as you will well remember. At that time we were stationed at Cawnpore, and through your instrumentality (so I after- wards discovered) I was soon despatched to a remote station in charge of a handful of men. I cheerfully obeyed my orders, and for some months was practically out of touch with civilisation. How I longed for it to cease and return to Cawnpore, to the loving wife I had left behind. At last the end came, and I did return, to find what ?" "What vou mipht have expected." "You lie. OrRoro-p Harfield. I thought vou an English officer beyond the pale of such a (kod.

WELSH LAND BILL. I Our London correspondent telegraphed on Friday evening :—The Welsh Radical mem- bers will meet on Tuesday to discuss the character of the Welsh Land Bill. A diffe- rence of opinion prevails amongst them as to whether it is desirable to draft a moderate Bill on the lines of the minority report or a drastic measure in accordance with the provisions of the majority report. The general view is in favour of the former procedure, to draft which a sub-committee, consisting of Mr. Brynmor Jones, Mr.- Bryn Roberts, and possibly Mr. Abel Thomas, will, it is believed, be formed.
