The happiest 'time of the day is the
evening hour, when the day ie ended,
the supper veer' and, hi. the gathering

is one that indaees sweet thoughts
of other days and nights that are gone
with their blue eldes and bright stars,
their anemonke and histories, It in
time to look back and 'trace the diverse
paths Where a protecting Providenee
has gone before. It is a time to life the
shadows .and let the sunshine of happy
days 'shine in; a, time to contemplate
the loving mercy that bloomed as lilies
by every roadside,. even when the rains
fell and the thunders were in the
skies. It is a time to look forWard
to fields as yet 1141track/en, to elaoes

through and beyond them all, to an-

"1 AM so delighted to see you, Lady
Gertrude. Cfootlfmorniug, Lord Aubrey!
I hope ssiu have forgiven me for my die -
play of temper this morning," and site
smiled, up into his fees so brightly that
be wondered if his eyee were playing
him a trick.
Was it possible that she had so com-
pletely rev:veered from bier anger, which
had seemed so furious? Yes, he Could
not doubt it. And when lied she over
been so delightful before? He was
charmed. Lady Gertrude smiled and
talked vivaciously, but in her heart she
was saying that Brae WAS preparing a
trap,
Alt! who could resist Erna in that
mood? The earl saw in her something
of the merry hoiden of his first meeting
and something of the womanliness lie
had discovered later. But, besides, there
was a new elierin—a seductive winsome-
ness which somehow reminded bins of
Lucie; though he cursed himself for per-
mitting the thought to tithe shape in
Gradually Erna. separated him from
-Gertrude, and presently heel hint walk-
ing with her out on the terrace. There
she held hire enchained as she talked to
him of the things she lied unearthed in
the Castle, drawing him out to talk of
himself somewhat, but talking for the
most part herself.
And he, listening to the softly modu-
lated voice, whose every tone Was the
sweetest music, thought he had never
dreamed of such bewitehing grime and
winsomeness.
She recalled the song she had sung at
Rosebora, and hummed it then in a low,
witching way that enthralled his senses,
Theme she spoke of other songs she had
found there•'and these, too, she sang
softly, so thatikt no. one but himself eon's'
hear; and to him it seemed as if he were
listening to the angels.
When she finally left him, he was like
it man intoxicated, and he could not bear
to return to where the others were, test
he should lose something of what he
had gained from the strange, bewilder-
ing eneature, who seemed to have eo
many moods.
CHAPTER XXIV.
Strong men! What is a man's strength
to a woman's witchery? It took only a
short time, but to Aubrey it came like
a burst of dazzling sunlight through the
gloom—the fact that he loved the
enigma of a woman, who had been a
factor in his life almost from the first
moment of seeing her.
He wondered that he had not realized
it sooner, but was conscious, too that
it was a thing not to be reasoned out.
He was in love iufatuated, bewitched;
and lie could do nothing but think of
her when she was not near him, and
watch her when she was in sight.
. Her Voice had a strange power over
him, which she soon learned, and she
used it to make his emotions play upon
his bronzed handsome face.' now making
his stern eyes dance withdelight, now
filling them with moisture of sympathy,
and then suddenly filling them with
dismay,
As for herself, she went on like one
who has deliberately cast herself over
a precipice and no longer has a choice
of direction. Her spirits were unnatu.-
rally high, but only those who knew her
were well aware of this. It was not only
the earl she carried along on the cur-
rent of her witchery.
The other young men and not a few
of the older ones, looked for her coming
in the morning,. and sighed when she
went away at night. Her eyes were the
only eyeedlier voice the only voice; and,
when she smiled, others must laugh per-
force from very infection.
Lady Gertrude saw, and gnawed fier
heart in silent miserrn Beautiful and
gifted as she was, she was like ene
effaced in comparison with the marvel-
oni of the other. She had
loved. Aubrey, she loved him now. She
had no claim on hint; for, in spite of
the gossips, it had not come' to that yet.
Aubrey had, not even done anything
which would give her a moral hold on
him,
But there had been no doubt in her
mind, or in the minds of others, that he
intended eventually to ask her to be-
come his countess. She had even con-
sented to accept the invitation to Mel-
rose in a spirit of conscious strength.
She had not had the least fear of Erna;
yet Erna had, won hint front her with a
glance of her eye, a tone of her voice.
The marquis was distraoted with, a
fear no one could have comprehended,
and which no one certainly sympathized'
with, unless it was Lady Romley, The
measure of his love for the bright being
wht was so far removedfrom him by
age, was not to be gauged by ordinary
standards.
He realized as well as anybody who
was merely an indifferent spectator, that
it was absurd and ineongrououe for him
to think of mating with Erna, whose
youth and Wonderful beauty evere such
a contrast for his rather unpleasant old
age and decrepitude.
But he worshipped her with that in-
fatuation which very old and very young
men are often guilty of. And his love
made him humble. Ile even dreamed
with delight of how he would bask in
the sunshine of her presence for a little
while, and the miss away, leaving her
rich and with alt the world before her.
Sotely that was the very acme of aline
. And now anaher, equally rich, equally
noble, and with all the advantages of
youth and good looks, had come along
and snatehed bier front under his very
eyes. And it did not frdigat his misery
to know that he had deliberately planned
to have Aubrey come to the castle.
For a few days Lady Bentley merely
looked on and was troubled. She had
come to knowErniewell; and she was
cure that there was more in the matter
than appeared on the surface, though -
lust what it was she Was tunable to
fathom.
She hesitated to interfere; for what
reason was there why the earl should
not wed Ernas„if he would? He might
make a better match, from a worldly
point of view, but, after all that was -a
small matter in his ease. Its was eich
enough, and no name, ;joined with his
could -add lustre to that of CM!.
Rut as the days went by, end the
studied Erna closer, she was Attie that
she Was only acting. And yet the mar-
thfoiress had been so tura that Erna
loved the earli She could not compre-
hend it; hut he was -decided that she
ought to speak to Erns.
She went to her room one -afternoon
when site had gone nn there to dress.
Erna sat in chair by a little round
table, her hena on her arms. She looked
up With a start when the old lady en-
tered. and Linty itomica could see that
her face was very pate.
"Eerie, dear," six said, going rstileklp
over to where she eat, and placing her
hand on the brown, curly head, "some-
thing is wrong; whet is it ?"

violent emotion, tutu. stalled up tthl4e

Intending to merry her, but to try to
play with me, I vowed I would wring

sion of sobe as frightened the old, lady.
There was such a. pent-up power, whe.
there for good or evil-, in the beautiful
creature, that her joy and her sorrow
seemed different from the same pae•
skins in other girls. She wept as if she
were wreathing with A demon; and then
suddenly dried her eyes, as if the very
fire of her passion had dried them" up.
"Yoe do not know," she said to the
troubled old lady. "I love him. I-1

Gertrude was the one of his choice,"
She tapped her little foot on the floor,
she tore a lace handkerchief in shreds
end her eyes blazed, but her face was
white and set, Lady Romley could have
wept for sorrow at the unveiling of this
passionate soul in its agony.
"My dear," he said, gently, "you must
be mistaken.. Your very love for him
makes you put a wrong construction on
hie, words."
"I ant not mistaken. Did not you tell
me that he was a choice husband, but
a dangerous guardian? I did not fully
comprehend then; but I do now. Did not
everybody, everyone of the grooms at
Aubrey, warn me that it was better not
te know him. But I laughed at them.

loved him, and lie kept seeking' me until
I yielded. Then he warned me that I
could not he his wife. That was what
he meant; and although I love him, I

would even make me Countess of Auln
rey. Well, he may make her his count-

"My dear! my dear! you are playing
with fire," said Lady Homley, sadly, but
feeling powerless to cheek or turn the
torrent of passion that swept from the
tortured heart of her ward. "Besides,
you forget that you have given encour-
agement to the Marquis of Melrose, and
that you are making him suffer."
"Oh, as for him," said Brim, "I am
not troubled. I shall merry him, That
is all he wishes. He is bidding in the

The Beautiful Lacewing Fly,
On almost any evening during the
summer twilight the charming . Lace-
wing fly may be seen; its curious
flight alone will suffice to identify it,
Between the hedgerows of the lanes,
14 the garden paths, or along the
woodland glades, it maw be readily
distinguished from the numerous
meths that appear as the tutenglit de-
clines. The flights of the moths are
very varied in ohmmeter; some of the
larger and dark -colored kinds sweep
past at a tremendous pace, their
movements leaving doubt in the mind
of the observer 'whether his eyes have
not deceived him, while many of the
smaller and palecolored species flut-
ter about like wind -tossed snowfIakee.
Between these Iwo extreme metliede,

all, however, appears that of another
inseet, It is apparently travelling
along a straight line, its pale; silvery
wings extended wide and rapidly vis
brating, but its progrees is so slow
and labored 'when compared with
even the slowest -flying moth, that eve

Lick's First Love AMIN
There are many stories of the light.

these is znore peculiar than the story
of James Lick, a name famous all
over the world through a monument
to his memory, the reat Lick Ob.

Imolai' world the great city of San
Francisco is a monument to Lick's
luck—he foresaw the possibility. of
the great city of the Pacific Slope,

stands, allci became a, millionaire.
Before that time the name of Lick
was great in the musical world. Lick's
pianos—out of which he made the
money which ho invested, in land—
were manufactured by him. But on
the poetic side of life- "aworld apart
from such things as piano -making and
Mud-flats—the great Lick Mill stands
as a monument to Lick's love,
In early life James Lick sought the
hand of a miller's, daughter, but was
repelled by the father ems the ground
that the young suitor did not pea.

when he had become one of the rich-
est men in the States, lee erected, a
large mill and adorned it like a pal-

him for his poverty.—Harry Furnies

Birds of Distinction.

The crow and the bird of paradise
were talking about fame,
"Why, you are so homely you are
only known to the farmers," sneered
the proud bird of paradise. "Now, I

The Crow laughed sardonically,
"That 'n'ay be, my friend," he
chuckled, "but I have my feet under

Support for Vines,
Last year I tried e new support for
flowering vines which preyed most sat-

keeper. I took two light sticks long
enough to reach across the end Of the
piazze where I wished to train the vines
and connected them with stout cords out
which tlie vines might -run. In the upper
-kick I fastened three screw -eyes which
slipped. over three corresponding hooks
at the top of the piazza. Several times
during the summer Whaii we had furious
Storms whieh whip the tender vines so
ruinously, I ti 111100 d the support and
placed the vines flat on the piazza floor,
veturing the stiek with a couple of
stones. In this 'way they escaped the .
worst of the storm and were quite fresh .
when I hooked them in place again. Our
viues never before live, through the
summer in such good condition. The first
frosty nights the vines were placed me
the ground and covered with a blanket
so' that btu ldestome remained quite late,
and when et last they became Sroet, bit-

vines and support, leaving behind no

FOOLISH GIRLS,
(Kingston Whig,)
If anyone wants to see how many
young girls are travelling the streets and
given to foolish flirtations he has only
to take up a position of vantage any
Sunday evening between 7 and 8 o'clock
and use his eyes. When these girls, bi
their teens, should be at home, or hi
church, some place dutifully or modestly
employed, they are inviting the atten-
tions of the young men, and doing it by
methods which are shockingly improper.

A FREE' GOSPEL.
A sweetapirited woman said to me.
"My dear old father always preached
a, free gospel, He preached for thirty
years to the eharches in his county
and I doubt that he was ever paid as
ninth as twenty-five dollars a yew,
He never asked the people to pay him
anything. He owned a farm and made
his living by hard work at thane"
And when he died the churches he
had served so ‚long almost died. The
welleto-do fat -mens were abundantly
able to pay a preacher well for his
whole time. Bet they had never been
trained to do it,. They seen starved
out the preachers who Came to them.
These preachers didn't awn farms. And
the churches almost starved before, they
learned to pay for minieterial service.
I knew e preecher with a good in-
come who preached regulemay to it eon-
gregasiou and collected his salary as
though he were dependent on ft for a
living, But he gave every cent of it to
his board of missions.

DURING HOT WEATHER.
More children die during the
hot weather than at any other
time of the year. Diarrhoea, dye -
entry, cholera infautum and. stom-

ing, and when a medieine is not
at hand to give prompt relief, the
delay may prove fatal to the child.
Baby's Own Tablets should be
kept in. every, home where there
are children during the hot weath-
er months. An occasional dose of
the Tablets will prevent deadly
summer complaints, or cure them
if they come unexpectedly. Mrs.

Crisis in Swiss Watchmaking.
In investigation made recently by
the Swiss government shows that the
'watchmaking in-dustry of Switzerland
is passing through a severe crisis, which
affects no less than 70,000 persons. The
workmen who have been able to retain
their' employment have been compelled
to consent to great reductions in wages.
Skilled workers, who were receiving
front $10 to $15 a week, are now paid
only $8. The chief Cause of the depres-
sion is to be sought in foreign competi-
tion, as France, Germany and the Un- '
ited States have successfully undertaken
the manufacture of cheap watches, in
silver, nickel and steel cases. The Swiss
manufacturers of chronometers and fine
watches do not appear to feel the depres-
siona
