RUGBY, Dec. 21st. The Prince of Wales, who yester day beat Lieut.-Comdr. Kershaw in the second round of the Royal Navy and Royal Marines squash rackets championship, was defeated in the semi-final to-day by Surgeon Commander. Mackenzie. It was a fiercely contested game, but Mac kenzie won in three straight sets.

no notice, even when the first card, was followed by athers of the same nature.

Sometimes a few unflattering words in Esther's handwriting were inserted between the lines, "Coward" or "Villain

Signor Boschetti's patience came to an end with the arrival of the seventeenth postcard, with loving words in his own handwriting, and unloving words added by Esther's hand. He must have felt astonish ed at the warmth of that now ex- tinguished fireWV1

Esther's hatred, he had reason to believe, was animated by jealousy, and his had recourse to the law, that fast resort, of the prudent citizen. Esther, who has asked that her surname should not be disclosed in the Press, has pleaded guilty to writing defama tory words to her old sweetheart, but the case has not yet been heard in court.
