The stranger's name Was He lay awake for several hours thinking out the problem . He flattered himself that his knowledge of women was exhaustive and com plete that he understood all their moods and whime , that he knew their strength and limi tations , that , given an opportunity , he could get the consent of any woman to marry him . He admitted that they were ticklish animals to deal with . That they could neither be driven nor reasoned with - that force and logic were lost upon them . Nevertheless , to the man who understood the sex , they were quite easy to manage . May Trefusis was probably in anything but a plastic mood at the present moment . No doubt her pride had been wounded and her vanity stabbed to the quick . Possibly ahe would be saying to herself that she would never trust a man again . All jilted women said that until someone else came along , and then they were only too pleased to show to the first man that they did not care a map , and that they were happier with the second man than they had ever been before . an " O bio of ER BUSINESS AS USUAL . Mrs. Annie Powell , wife of William Powell . said she saw some scuffling in the foldyard . and consequently she went out . She heard Ned Nankivel . her son say , " ston it , " two or three times . On his mother's side he was related to the She also heard White asking her boy if he Trefusises , his mother being first cousin to He had come to St. Ned chuckled to himself as these thoughts wanted to fight .

They were down for a holiday . He ( witness ) did not go off his own premises . The defendants did not make any state- ment for their own defence , but called Tom Smith , a labourer , of Garway , who deposed that he was on the road with Holley . He saw White and Powell having a friendly " snar " in the road by the foldyard gate . Holley was keeping time . Mr. Powell came to the road and struck Holley with a stick . with a stick or we will come over . " Powell did go through the gate . He saw Holley hit down with a stick , and hoth the Powells were on top of him . It was the Powells who were using had language .

The situation was more piquant than A Parish Council was held on Tuesday evening , Mr. Owen Staley presiding . Mr. Mr. W.

Edward Mahoney , steam roller driver , Peterstow , was charged with leaving a steam roller unattended on the highway at Peter- stow on August 4th . Defendant pleaded not guilty . Cross - examined : He was no relation to the defendants . He admitted saying to White and Holley " Come on , we don't want a hother . " He heard the stick go against Holley's head . He could not say how the spar commenced . " Walter Smith , labourer , Garway Hill , also gave evidence as to the friendly spar on the road between White and Powell . Holley was shouting time , when Mr. Powell came out and struck Holley on the head over the gate . The Chairman said the Magistrates con- sidered the case proved , and each of the de- fendants was fined 10s . and 7s . 6d . costs . GAME TRESPASS . Henry James , labourer , Whitchurch , was summoned for trespassing on land of Mrs. Emma Pritchard at Whitchurch in search of game on July 24th . Defendant pleaded not guilty . John William Heath , farmer , Whitchurch , deposed that he had the shooting on some land at Whitchurch belonging to Mrs. Prit- chard .

During the two years in which he had been having a " good time " his wits had become sharpened in certain directions . He had kept his eyes open - or fancied he had had made acquaintances of varying types , had seen how it was possible to live by one's wits .

But the nimble - witted people adopted much less laborious methods , and generally arrived at the goal in much less time . made or Any fool could earn a certain amount of money if he chose to work for it ; but Ned early arrived at the conclusion that those who worked the hardest got least paid , and that the very rich people never worked at all . He eet himself out to calculate how much he B was could earn in a week by doing such work he was fitted for eight hours a day , and he discovered that he would earn barely enough to find him in socks and neckties . Hence work as a means of improving his fortunes seemed counsel of madness - there nothing in it .

He was out to better his fortune , and nothing else mattered as far as he was concerned . On the morning after his talk in the bar- parlour he went out in search of Tregarrick Wood . He had not the remotest idea in what direction it lay , and , as he was anxious to keep his methods and purposes a profound secret , he was afraid to inquire of the land- lord or anyone connected with the hostel . He had plenty of time at his disposal , however , and so could afford to go about his work in the most leisurely way .

The match between the Ross First Eleven and the Gloucester Nondescripts , which was to have been played on the Park on Satur- day last had to be abandoned owing to the rain . A charge was to have been made for admission , and the proceeds were to have been given for the groundsman's benefit . This , of course , was a great disappointment , but in order to give Davies a further oppor- tunity of reaping a benefit , the club have de- cided to give the gate money at the Holmer match on Saturday week to Groundsman Davies , who is to be deservedly congratu- Tated on the excellent manner in which he has kept the ground during this season .
