"No," he said, "I shall make an effort
.at the newspaper office before I decide
•ou that,"
He took a glass of brandy and water to
etcady his nerves; and then started out
for .his interview with the editor. It
wee early, but the editor was at the
`office, and Mr, Hutchins was readily
admitted. The editor was a grim, taci-
turn sort of man, and waited silently
for the manager to open his business to
•him,
"I came," said the Tatter, hesitatingly,
"in relation to that article about Miss
.Gurnee in this morning's issue."
"A very good advertisement for her.
We shall m•alte no charge for it, of
amuse, but shall expect some favors, per -
.haps."
This was more than even the manager
.dreamed of.
" Pavore! Why man, the young lady
is prostrated with grief at the insinua•
tions against her. She is a most pure
and estimable young lady, and—"
"Oannot appreciate the advantages of
advertising as you ran—eh? Well, let it
go then."
`But she wishes me to request you to
retract the insinuations of this morn-
ing."
"Ola, she is alive to the advantages of
free advertising!"
"Not at all. She is sick with grief and
ltcrror."
"Stuff!" said the editor. "Tell her we
have a better article still for to -mor-
row."
"Sir!" cried the manager, rising
wrathfully, "if you put another libelous
word in your paper concerning me, or
that young lady, I will prosecute you,
if it costs everg penny I am worth."
"It would be an excellent advertise-
ment for both of us," said the editor,
coolly.
"Those articles are inspired by Mrs.
Forster, my former leading lady," cried
Mr. Hutchins, very red in the face, "and
they are Iibelous. I will appeal to the
law.'
"Please do."
The editor rang his bell, and a boy
etepped immediately into the room.
"Show this gentleman out," said the
editor.
Mr. Hutchins. was, ."•-eienrin - `o do

visitor.. • .. -.
The manager sought a lawyer at once,
and unburdened himself to him. He
was as angry now as Erna could wish
any champion to be.
The lawyer listened and asked ques-
tions. Then he took out his .paper and
carefully read the article in question.
When this was done, he looked at tire..,
angry manager.
-The article is not libelous. You can
do nothing."
Then Mr. Hutchins recalled the fact
that he had told Erna the same thing.
Of course there could be no doubt of
it. It meant, then, that he was to lose
both his leading actresses, with no
chance of finding any one to take their
places.
He paid the lawyer his fee, and with
his anger greatly* subdued, went home
to report to his wife and Erna. He
was in the very midst of his account
when a card was brought up for Erna.
She handed it to the manager, and he,
after staring at it, passed it to his
wife.
It was the card of the editor of the
Morning Journal.
"Bring him here," said Erna to the
servant. .

a different person .from the sphinx -like
gentleman of hardly more than three
hours before. He nodded like an old ao-
quaintanee to Mr. Hutchins, and singled
Erna out at once.
"This is Miss Gurnee, of course," ho
said,
"Yes," she answered, curtly.
"I had a conversation with this gen-
tleman," indicating the manager, "a few
hours ago, on the subject of the article
which appeared in the paper this morn-
ing. Evidently there has been some mis-
apprehension about it. I intended to
benefit you, Miss Gurnee "
"Benefit me by blackening my char-
acter?" she, cried, indignantly,
"I ask your pardon for the misunder-
standing," he said, smiling calmly. "I
will leave it to Mr. Hutchins if such an
article would not be hailed with joy by
most members of the profession. You
would have a crammed house to -night
on the strength of it. V, hat do you say,
Mr. Hutchins."
"It may be so; but Miss Gurnee Bares
more for her reputation than for fame."
"Quite right; and now that I. am
aware of that fact, I have come to tell
her that I will make an editorial re-
traction of the article, which shall be
perfectly satisfactory to her."
Mr. Hutchins stared in amazement.
He could not comprehend the mean-
ing of the change in the editor's inten-
tions. It certainly was not fear. It was
out of the question to attribute it to
good feeling.
"I trust you will do as you say," Erna
said proudly.
"I give you my word that I will make
such an editorial as even you would ap-
prove. In fact, I will do an unheard-
of thing; I will submit the editorial to
you for your approval. Will that be
satisfactory?"
"It must be, since the infamous arti-
cle has appeared," replied Erna, uncom-
promisingly.
"Nothing could be fairer," said the
manager, more diplomatically.
The editor smiled, bowed, and left the
room, saying as he went:
"I will send a special messenger
around some time this afternoon with
the editorial. Any additions you wish
made, please note on the margin of the
parer"
"That's the most extraordinary cir-
cumstance in my experience," said the
t''nanager. "1 da-- c m---` "

st c'''ared Mr. Hutchins, em-

will be an apology from Mrs. Forster,"
and he laughed at the absurdity.
"If you please," said the servant, en-
tering the. room, • "a note for Miss Gur-
nee; and the messenger will wait for an
answer."
Erna tore open the note, which was.
directed in a delicate feminine hand. In
ler heart there was a strange forebod-
ng as she did so. It seemed to her
that she was living very rapidly in
hese days. She glanced quickly at the
ignature, and turned to the manager
nd his wife.
"It is from Mrs. Forster!"

CHAPTER XXX1 d'.
Erne left the house where the wretch-
ed Countess of Aubrey lay dying, with-
out being able to see clearly her duty.
That Lord Aubrey should be informed
at once of the existence and state of his
wife, was clear enough; but how to in-
form him? Should it be by letter? .No;
a letter might miscarry; it might not
reach him until after his marriage with
Lady Gertrude, since Mrs. Foster had
declared that the wedding was to take
place in a few days.
She might send a messenger. Who
should it be? He must be a trusty one,
and one who would carry convictions of
truth with him. No; somehow the
thought of a messenger was not satisfac-
tory. Must she go herself? Perhaps
that would be the best way.
Erna tried to deceive herself into be-
lieving that it was imperative that she
herself should go to Lord. Aubrey. Then,
after•a short struggle to aecurnplieeh the

There was something;horrible in the
quiet intensity of the l$ornanus words.
"Why should you?".;asked Erna, won-
dering why she had been called to this
dying woman's bedside.
The woman laughed fiercely, and star-
ed at Erna before she'�swered.
"You will know bell're you go away.
Yes, I hate you, but I am going to pre-
vent a great wrong to a woman I don't
know. Why is it, I wonder? I cannot
tell. I suppose I am weak and foolish.

and the woman noticed it,
"Ah, yes, you have, handsome, isn't

Would you carry a message to him?"
"I would see that he receih-ed it," Erna
answered.
"So that is how yell feel? ,1 wonder
what he has done to you.. Do you hate
him? But of course you. don't. You
would do anything for him. You love
him! Well, I can trust you to deliver
this message, then."
She said all this as if she could. 'read
Erna's soul,
"You must know the story," she said,
"or he would not believe you. I am his
wife. Odd, isn't it( that you and I
should be brought together in this way?
Were you Iovers before he became en-
gaged to this Lady Gertrude? You
won't answer. It .doesn't matter. Did
you know he was to marry her next
week? Only 'three days till then."
"I did not know it," replied Erna, a
horror of the woman growing stronger
.and stronger with rich' moment.
In fact, uothin'g coria have been more
terrible than the husky,;rapid speech; the
viciousness of the tor get the certain ae-
sumption of the telegs she said. She
was dying, she wished to prevent a

that. I did. think to tat him marry. That
was to be my revenge on him. You

you please. I can do nothing meso."
"Ile shall be warned," said -Erna.
A low, wicked laugh broke from the
livid lips.
Tell her!" she saki. "Tha:t is what
I would do. 'that would be virtuous,
and very sweet with revenge for cursing
