MOTHER-IN-LAW IN
DISPUTES.
Mrs. Mariam Farid, the wife of Mr. Mohamed Farid, an Indian clerk in the employ of the Union Insurance Society of Lanton, summoned her husband yesterday for alleged ill-treatment and wilful neglect to provide her with reason- able maintenance. The case came before Mr. Schofield at the Central Magistracy.

Then they lost him. He seemed to have vanished from the face of the sea,
though they played the telescope enrefully over the very spot where he had last been seen. Minutes went by. Bates at last put the gins down and gave it up. "Well, he's gone,” he said. And as one speaks of the dead he added, grudgingly. It was a game fight, he put up-tire iuuse!"
Mary pointed suddenly and cried, "Look, what's that?"
