Violet almost dropped. with horror, but a glanee at the threatening eyes of Erna told her that something had gone wrong, and that it were better not to Writer her feelings if she did not wish to bring on woes° things.

Erna Bugled a quick look at the tottery old fellow, end Violet felt ready to faint with, apprehension. It was just the look that always prefaced one of Erna's most cutting speechee, "How kind of the duchess," she began, e'en Violet, in a most beseeching voice broke in: "Oh, Erna! there is Lady Gertrude. How lovely she looks to-night!W' "She always looks lovely," said Erna, her mood changing in an instant. "See, marquis! there is the beauty of the school. You know, did you not, that we were still breadarid-butter misses. Ah, Captain Merriwether!" and she turned with her lnost engagingdmanner to the first of the young gentlemen who op - preached, "have you recovered from tele effects of your violent exertions at lawn tennis?" "There will need to be a new judge of beauty appointed," mumbled tbe mar- quis'but hisdittle voice was overwhelm - eft by the deep tones of the young geardsman "If 1 were suffering the 1110$b horrible arguish," he replied to Erna, "your soli- eitude would be a sovereign balni.

"There is nothing I *wish done at pres- ent" laughed Erna, gayly, "but, when my time of peril comes, I sliall not for- get your offer." • "I beg you will let me enlist for the forlorn hope," said the marquis, not dis- posed to yield to his younger rivals, "I trust it is a forlorn hope," said the captain, glancing significantly at the marquis, 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 ted. lips, and registered a vow that she wouldatot be tiontatered ia the fight, the prize of whieh she told herself was the nobleman who wee triply -attractive be- cause of 'his title, his wealth and his shadowed past.

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.

However that may be, she and her co -inventor have devised an appara- tus which is very simple and equally ef- fective. This consists of a drum, whieb resembles a huge apool, and, which is suspended from the window ledge, hav- ing a long straight edge for engagemeet with the wall. Around this drum one wbole turn ef a cable is taken, one end of the cable—the end lieu the window—having a seat attached. When the fire lereake out the person in the room climbs out, over the window ledge, thrusts one leg ovev the seat, and, grasping the other end of the cable, -towers lerneelf or herself gently to the ground. The turn of the cattle nver the drum prevents the rope from elip- ping and, letting the. seat dawn exoept es the slack is paid out, "How kind of you to say so. Don't 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.

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."

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," ' .• • A Shows Molecular Attraction.

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 Strand. 0 • 4), A Woman's Sympathy Aro you discouraged?
