Erna Bugled a quick look at the

the look that always prefaced one of
Erna's most cutting speechee,
"How kind of the duchess," she began,

broke in:
"Oh, Erna! there is Lady Gertrude.

"She always looks lovely," said Erna,

"I trust it is a forlorn hope," said the
captain, glancing significantly at the

The summons to dinner happily closed
a discussion that might, with such a
dangerous presiding officer as Erna,
have led to some malieious speeches.
CHAPTER XVIII.
It was not Einties fault if she at-
tracted a. great deal of attention. She
made no unseemly effort to gain the
eyes and ears of the guests at tnee table
of the Duke of Itoseboro; but ihe was
hi precisely the Mood to say thee Atieet
of things and to look her best.
There was just enough of sting to her
wit to make it 'piquant, while she was
*too young, fresh and buoyant to be in
any way artificial. When she spoke
earnestly, as she did now and again,
there was something in her exquisitely
modulated voice that hushed every oth-
er sound, in the eagerness to listen to
her.
Laity Gertrude, triumphant in hold-
ing the attention of the Earl of Aubrey,
near to whotn she sat, Ito having taken
Lady Violet to dinner, was nevertheless
inwardly raging at the reception ac-
corded to her school tival, for she could
foresee that in the little time that was
to intervene before their coining out
Erne, 'would have already established
her reputation as a beauty and a promi-
nent attraction.
Occasionally she caught a glance sbot
by Lord sitiatey toward the other beau-
ty, and she had. a ptemonition that the
rivalry began in the sehool rooms of
the Miss Warner was destined to be
carried oa in the world outside. She
closed her white teeth hard under her

Slavery.
Some one has said if Christ was
a true frieha to the slave He would
have lifted up His voice and con-
demned the unholy traffic. Seeing
that a large prgportion of the human
race were then in bondage our reply
is, He did, but not as a stump -orator.
He came to 'set going those silent and
invisible forces which are the mys-
tery and glory of His ecign.
No sooner had Christianity fairly
pervaded the Roman empire, their un-
easiness was felt respecting the dis-
position of slaves. These wretched
bondsmen seized with eagerness on
the new faith. At its invitation they
ceased to lie outcasts, they rose to
the dignity of responsible existence,
they belt the ties that bound them to
their race, and were comforted. by the
sympathy of fellowship; they acquir-
ed a conscience and were from that
moment terrible. "What was slavery
in the age of Paul?" asks channing.
"It was the slavery not so much of
black or of white, not merely .of 'ig-
norant and debased, but of the vir-
tuous educated and refined. Piracy
and conquest were the chief means of
supplying the slave market and they
heeded neither character nor condi-
tion,. Sometimes. the greater part of
the population of a captured city was
sold into bondage, sometimes the
whole as in the case of Jerusalem.
Noble and royal families, the Siete and
great, the learned and powerful, the
philosopher and poet, the wisest and
best men were condemned to the
chain." Look them in the face to-
gether and you know not the slave
from their master, except from his
misery and his chains.
Among these the Son of Man freely
moved, he opened his mount and
taught, the common people heard
him gladey in the chief concourse of
the people. The ship, the strand, the
desert, the mountain were all eligible
and available. Sorrow was in his
eyes among the most sacred things
he found on earth, tbe reverent at-
tention and the simple and sym-
pathetic terms in which he adressed
it made it hallowed. His leading
topics were few, but sq personal and
important that they found a response
and an interpreter in every bosom.
He simplified • knowledge, lowered
himself to their capacity, waited on
their dullness, tasted knowledge of
them and fed them as the bread of
life. He taught gratuitously, though
the knowledge he imparted was be-
yond the priee of rubies, though at
times he had not where to lay his
head, yet he labored without money
and without pride. The 8nly reward
he desired was the tear of peritence
and the cordial reception of his mes-
sage. I asked a friend to give me a
definition of human, life. He replied,
"A choice of masters, it is the des-
tiny' of man to serve. The doctrine
of liberty in the last analysis is a
with." The worldly man is it servant
of the god of this world. the devil;
the true Christian is a servant of
Christ, literally a slave of Christ,
bought, paid for, claimed, dishm-
guished, separated, perfected atid em -
plotted, called, ehosen and faithful,
equipped, enlarged, defended. His
time measured, his talents adjusted,
his van provided, his rear guarded,
his arrival sure, his reward certain.

For a moment a stinging retort 'trembled

good stead.
"I think," she said, quietly, but with
enough of fire lingering in her eyes to
make what she said impressive, that

you have the right to say such a thing

It was as gentle a rebuke as could have

suspended from the window ledge, hav-

thrusts one leg ovev the seat, and,
grasping the other end of the cable,

you think Miss Much very beautiful?
She is a cousin of yours; is she not?"
"A distant cousin, Yes, she is very
beautiful, I should suppose, to one who
admired that dark style of beauty."
Lady Gertrude looked pleased, and a
faint gleam of irony shot into the stern
blue eyes of the earl as he noted, it,
"She isn't so very dark," said Lady
Gertrude, in a halapitying tone. •
"Ola no,' he said, carelessly. "She has
an exquisite complexion. What is she
,going to do?"
Erna had risen after a brief conversa-
tion with the duchess and was being es-
eorted to another pert of the room,
"I think she is goiter to recite some-
thing," replied Lady Gertrude. " We
schoolgirls have to do something to jus-
tify being seen in public, you know. Are
you fond' of recitation?"
"1 am fond of singing, when it is
good," hp answered. "if you ave going

Lady Gertrude avas in the seventh bee.,

earl never troubled hiniself to pay com-
pliments, and it seined as if she had
made it decided, impression on him since
he took the trouble to compliment her.
As for Erna, she did not fear her any
more. It was so plain that the earl did
not like brunettes.
As a matter of fact, the earl would
have given a, great deal to be away froM
the drawitg-room at that moment. It
was fashionable to heve professional re-
eiters, banjo players, singers, and other
entertainers come to the great heases,
and he 'thought them' bad enough; but
he felt that a schoolgirl in the role of
elocutionist was more than he could
bear.
"Ekouse me," he said, hastily, bending
over Lady Gertrude. "I believe there is
something I have forgotten."

"Why not spend them with me?"
asked Lady .Romley, kindly. "I will
write to your atua."
Erna flashed so eretely look at the
marehioness that the latter had no
doubt that she stets glad of the oppor-
tunity to escar the chance of passing
any more time m the vicinity of Aubrey.
"I shall be very glad to visit you,"
elle said. "Forgive me if I seem proud

CHAPTER XIX,
Hating and scenting the earl as she
did, it should have made no difference

TOOM or went out of it while she was
reetting, But somehow it did. make a
difference to her, and for a moment
there was a ehoking in her throat that
threatened to put an end to her speak-
ing her that time.
Then her "nide revolted at the
thought of it failure for such a reason,
and with it sudden efforts he calmed
herself. She knew it would be impos-
sible to do justice to the pretty thing

A Cut Artery.
If the blood comes `from the wound itt
jets or spurts it meaus that an a-tery
has been severed. ,
If prompt measures are not taken,
the person will bleed to death hi a few
minutes,
Knot a haudkerceief loosely' Around
near the part, between the wound and
the heart.
Put a stick, pencil or anything of
the sort between the skin and the hand-
kerchief, twist it around and tighten
the handkerchief until the blood ceases
to flow.
It must be held thus, without lessen-
ing the pressure fo ra moment, until a
physician arrives,
If the cut is in 'position where the
handkerchief cannot be used, press the
thumb down between the wound and
the heart, and keep it there.
Remember teat the blood flows from
the heart out to the wound, and pres-
sure beyond that point will be entirely
useless.
Tu the mai of veins, the flow' of
blood is in the opposite direction, and
can only be stopped by pressure below
the wound.
In all eases of -serious cut a physician
should be summoned at once, end the
foregoing treatment kept up until he
orrives.

ARTIST'S LUCKY NUMBER.
Also a Lucky Interview Which
Brought Orders by the Dozen.
Alma-Taderna. confesses to a super-
stition concerning the number seven-
teen. "My wife was 17 when I first met
her," he says in the Strand, "and the
number of the house to Whielt I took her
when we were married was 11, My pre-
sent house did bear the same 'nudiber,
and the first spade was put to the Work
of building it on August 17. This was
in 1885.
"I had then been in possession of the
place for three years, during that time
designing and making plans and sketches
for the house. On Nov. 17, 1886, we
took tip our residence here."
The artist says that in 1864 he re-
ceived a visit !rein the English picture
dealer Gambart—il principe Gambarti, as
they used to call hint in ItaIy. He was
the leading picture dealer of his day and
was held in great respect by artists:
"I remember hitn on that first visit
to me," the 'artist goes on "standing
before my easel, on which 1 had posed
my 'Coming Opt of Church,' and saying:
'Did you paint that picture for the Van-
derdonkts?' '
"I assured him of the fact. He asked
me if they had seen it, and what was
the price. I told him that they bad not
seen it as yet.
"Well, then'' said Gambart, take
it; and let me have a couple of dozen of
Ulla kind at progressive prices each half
dozen.' It was lastly as if he had been
buying bales of cotton,
, "Four years did it take me to carry
out Gainbart's first commission, and the
day arrived when Gambart again paid
me a visit.
"'I want you,' he said, `to paint Inc
another four dozen pictures on the same
condition of rising value.'
"I consented, and I did my best not to
disappoint him. 'The Vintage' was
*tinted as out of them, and arhen the
dealer saw it, perceiving that it waS a
far more important canvas than any of
its predecessors—a work, too, that hind
cost me far more time and labor—be at
once insisted upon paying for it the
figure which was to have been given for
the last half dozen,"

Instead of the usual pair of eye
-
masses eharacteristic of beetles, these
whirligig 'beetles have each eye divided
into two parts, their autenae, or feelers,
being interposed between them. Owing
to this division of each eye, one part
falls below the head and the other above,
an arrangement that suggests the per-
fect adaptability of these insects to the
environment on the surfact of the
water, since they poseess eyes for vision
downwards into the water and others for
use upwards into the air.—From May

THE DARKEY AND THE CHOW
An old ilarlc,y made application for
membership in a very fashionable chureh.
The minister, knowing that his congrega-
tion would be indignent If the eolored
man were admitted, and yet not wishing
to refuse hint point blank, told him to
go borne and pray about it.
In a few days the darky returned, and
elicit asked by the minister if he had
asked the Lord to guide him in the mat-
ter, answered: "Yes, sah, an' de good
