CHAPTER XVIII
Erna, March, the betrothed of the Mar-
quis of Melrose, flashed into the social
world, an unerowned queen. She was
talked of from one end of the kingdom
to the other, and society was all agog
to meet the wonderful 'creature of whom
such startling stories were' told.
It was whispered that she had—posi-
tively -rejected Lord Aubrey, the grand-
est catch of the day, and had laughed off
a dozen other titles and, fortunes, to
give her hand to the old marquis.
Stories of her wild, riding were told
at every. dinner -table in the country;
people told of her marvellous singing,
of hew she could bring tears to the mest
obdurate eyes by her rendering of simple
stories; they said, her acting was noth-
ing short of genius.
With all these a.eamplishments added
to her extraordinary beauty, she would
inevitably have been the reigning beauty
in London at the coming season; but
when it was known that she was to be
the- Marchioness of Melrose the furor
tb see and know her readied such a
height that all the most exclusive
house e in the country were eager to
count her among then- visitors.
Lady Ro-mley hardly. knew 'whether to
be delighted or not. It was gratifying
to her that he proteges was such a suc-
cess; but she knew better than any
other how little 'Erna; wea ,what she
seemed; how ehOififfil the girl was of it
all. .
Erna gave no other outward sign of -
an inward turbulence than an occasional
sudden dilating of the pupils of her
eyes, and a hardening of the muscles of
the face; showing, to the watchful, anx-
ious eyes of Lady Romley, a hidden
agony more heart-rending than the wild-
est expression of grief and pain.
Lady Romley had anticipated. that
Erna would find indemnification in tor-
menting the marquis and, by coquetting
with all other men; but in this Erna
surprised. her. Her treatment of the
marquis Was most sweet and womanly,
as if she recognized and appriciated his
nobility of nature, in spite of his not
always dignified eagerness to anticipate
her wishes.
She did indeed throw herself with
feverish eagerness into all the dissipa-
tion offered by the gay weld Into'which
she had leaped; but she coquetted with
no one, although scores of Men, fasein-
eted by the indescribable charm of her
manrser, hung about her, ready to throw
themselves at her feet, eager to win her
away from the old. marquis.
It seemed to be understood every-
where that she and the Earl of .Aubrey
were not to meet; for not once did she
find herself in the same house with
hint. She heard Of hint often enough; for
he lied thrown himself into the gay
world with much fervor as she had;
and he and Lady Gertrude were heard.
of together _everywhere,
And at last came the news for which
everybody was prepared: The Earl of
Aubrey was to wed Lady Gertrude
Morehatn: Lady Rowley told Erna of it,
It was not a pleasant task for the old
lady; but die had grown to love Erna,
so much that it was her constant en-
deavor to stand between her .and the
consequences of her act.
"You are as devoted as Melrose," said.
Lord Itomeey, laughingly, to his spouse,
one day,
"Yes," Lady Rowley had replied, "I
am. I know What the poor child is suf-
fering. Talk of the heroic fortitude of
the American Indian. It is nothing to
hers, She has torn her quivering heart
from her own bread, and. is 'forcing her-
self to go through the world with a set' -
enc, smiling face. I don't know how it
will did, Romig; but there is a tragedy
In that girl's eyes."
"Yes," said. Lad Roniley, "I feel as
if I were living on the very crater of
a volcano. Of course I love Errta—couId-
n't help it if I wished—but, to my com-
mon Male understanding, the Whole

Well could be."
"Oh, you are a- nom" repliedelady
Ilontley in a tone that conveyed. mere

"Yes I have thaa, misfortune; and I
timppose that is why I cannot -compre-
hend why Erna shoela think it noes

traction and he would give his soul -to

"There are delicate points in thereat -
ter Which you cannot. appreciate" Was
Lady rtowley'e rejoinder.

gesture which always Irritated the

"You are utterly 'without sentiment"

"Erna," elms said, later, when she was
alone with Ler, "I have something to
tell you about Earl of Aubrey."
Erne looked at her eabnly eneugh,
but the. pupils of her great brown eyes
dilated until, the eyes lookedblaele.
"Yes?" was. all she said.
"His engagement to Lady Gertrude is

"Poor Gertrude 1" was Erna's calm
comment; and then she changed the sub-
ject, "When do we return to Bewley?"
she asked.
They were thee at the Earl of Dyke -
beau, where Erna had been displaying
her mimic, talents, and gaining the ex-
travagant applause of all who witnessed
her performance, Lord Dykeharn had
the first private theatre in the realm,
"Day., after to -morrow is set for our
return, replied Lady Romley,
"I shall be glad to get home," seed
Erna. "It seems odd 'to. call it home,
too; for I have been there so little."
"You will like it when you know it
Well," said, the marehimiese. "It is time
you didaet some rest, anyhow; for the
season will begin soon, and. you should,
be fresh to enter the whirl."
"I suppose so," replied Erna, a little
wearily.
Lady Romley looked Sharply at her.
It seemed to her that a new expression
had crept into her eyes—one of repug.
wino.
"Erna," she died, impulsively, "it is
not too late yet,"
Ems turned her eyes full on her, and
seemed to look through aim...old friend.
"You are mistaken," she said, with a
calmness that was terrible; "it is too
late. How much too late neither you
nor anybody can guess. I cannot go
back, Lady Itoraley; and I do not wish
that I could."
"Erna, dear," said the old lady, tears
standing in her eyes, Ryon wring my
heart with your despair. Why did you
do it? Why won't you undo it?"
Erna put her hand caressingly on the
other's withered hand.
"I do not deserve that you should, love
me as you do, Lady Romley. I have
come into your life like a whirlwind,
bringing discomfort and trouble. I shall
fulfil my mission, by going out of it in
the same way. I hope you will then
find the peace and serenity of which I
have robbed "
"My child! what do you mean?" cried
the marchioness, in alarm, seeming
to On, in a low, subdued tone, as if holds
vine -himself severely in cheek:
"I am an old man,iand, there is some-
thing incongruous n talking of love
to. a, radiant young creature like you.
But I do love you—love you in a way
that no young man could, I love you so
well, Erna dear, that I would. give you
up to another for your greater Lewis,
, nese, I speak so now, because I have
soon how you have suffered; and I
would help you if I could. Can you, will
you confide in me—not as to a pros.
pective husband, but as to a father?"
Erna's hands fell from the keys into
her lap, and across her face passed. a
look of keenest anguish. Tears formed,
ist her eyes, gathered and. rolled in
great ',round drops over her smooth
cheeks. Then slut sprang to her feet., her
eyes upraimel to heaven, and wailed.:

Then she was gone, leavinee him. alone

it was a tune she had found In the

that her thoughts were with the earl,

She ceased her song and looked at him
with the gentle cemprelentling expresaion
she almost always wore for lam,
"You knew I go away to -morrow?"
he said.
"Yes, and, 1 had determined to make
this an, evening to dwellpleasantlyin

"No," he said, "It is sober truth. But
I don't wish you to entertain me. It is
quite enough for me, now as always,
to simply be with you and look at you.
And yet, Era, X would not wish to an-
noy or weary you with my presence or

"Don't say that!" else cried, her eyes
deepening with a look of pain, "I want
you to understand,—to be sure that there

I am more restful with than with you.
Yea never weary, never astraly
have I ever given you cause to think

toning into his face.
"No," he replied, "you have been so
kind and gentle with me that I heve
lived in a sort of paradise since the day
you said you would be the :Marchioness
of Melrose."
"I have merely tried to show my ape
predation of you." she said, in a low
•
"I know that," be answered; "and it
because I am sure that there is a het -
ter understanding between us than any
explanation would ever have brought

She looked inquiringly at hint; emd
he could see she was endeavoring to di-
vine his meaning before he. spoke,
"Will yon let, me say 'what is on, nay
Mind, without interruption'?" lie, asked.
"It- anal& as if youawere intending
something disagreeable," she said, with
a faint mune. "But you shall speak With-
out interruption. Go on!" .
He heaitated a moment, and his face
betrayed unusual em.otion. Then he went
see something sinister in. Erna's words.
The strangely sad expression which
had been creeping over the beautiful
young face was swept away, so to speak,
by a wage of consciousness; and Erna
resumed the mak of half -mocking seren-
ity which she had worn, for so many
weeks.
"Mean!" she repeated; "what should.
I mean but leaving you to be the Mar-
chioness of Melrose? The poor mar-
quis! I am sorry for him, Lady Rom -
ley. It would be a blessed thing for
him if I should elope with one of his
young rivals. He is too good. a man to
be cursed. with such a bride."
-"My dean"
Erna laughed in a gay, half -reckless
way that came upon her once in a while,
and. Lady Romley, knowing words would
be useless, left her. But she watched
her more anxiously than ever after that
conversation; for the conviction was
forced upon her that the wayward girl
was bent on some deed of sheer despera-
tion.
She could not dream what it would.
'be; but her thoughts reverted often to
the notion that Erna might even be con-
templating the laat touch of ruin to her
life, by eloping as she had suggested.
Consequently, for the following two
days—until they started for Remley, in
fact—the old lady followed every move-
ment of Erna and those of her admirers,
in order that she might guess, if possible,
which one, if any, Erna might select for
her companion in such a mad escapade.
But Erna did not vary in the least of
her treatment of any of the young gal-
lants, and was quite ready to leave them
all when the hour of departure came.
Lord Melrose accompanied them and it
appeared to Lady Romley that Eina was
especially kind and gentle to her aged
lover.
Indeed, from the moment of their de-
parture for Dykeleam, Erna had dropped
her brilliant manreer for a quieter one;
and many times during the ride Lady
Romley surprised a yearning look in the
brown eyes as they rested on her or on
the old marquis.
Something was going on in that enig-
matical brain which filled Lady Romley
with sad foreboding; but rack her own
brain as she would, she could not arrive
at any satisfactory conclusion. But she
could not endure silent waiting for a
catastrophe; so, when Romley was
reaehed, she drew Lord Melrose aside,
and said to him:
"Melrose, have you noticed the change
iii Erna?"
He looked her in the eyes, atel for
the first time the old lady noticed that
the old air of foppery 'evas gotm from.
him, and in its place was a patient
kindliness. •
"Yes, marchioness."
"I ant afraid it means something," she
said,
"I fear so, too."
"Do you suspect the direction it will
take 3" she demanded.
"No" he replied. "I only know that
her heart is breaking; and that -I would
readily give what remains of my useless
old life to make her happy. I try not
to trouble her by noticing what in going
on within her, or by asking questions;
and it is enough for me that she does
not laugh at the ord fool she has con-
sented to marry."
Lady Rowley indignantly brushed a
tear front her eye. It seemed, disgraceful
to her that one who had fought AO
many soeial battles as she had should
have any tears left. But, the self-
abnegation ot the marquis touched her.
"You eve letter worth her, Melrose,"
he cried, "than half the young men
who surround hers"
"Ah," he replied, "I don't think that;
but I believe I am ram considerate of
her than any of them would be. But
that Is nothing if it eannot help her.
'Have you noticed lately how her eyes
have filled now and again with a search-
ing, wistful look? As if her mind were
made up to something, which she would
carry through; but which she knew
would hurt ns ---you and me."
"That in just itl" cried Lady Romley.
"She is going to do something, But
What it in I cannot guess."
"Nor L is,
eitiMot either prevent her
doing it, or help her to do it." •

Erna returned no more to the drawing
room that evening. She tad gone to her
own apartments, anti • had locked
herself in, sending her maid away, when
the latter came to assist her in retiring.
"I shall not need you again," she had
said, peremptorily.
The maid went away shrugging her
French shoulders, but hardly surprised;
for Erna had long ago taught her to be
surprised at nothing she dia. ,
. Erna meanwhile was pacing her apart-
ments from one end to the other, wrest-

suffer whose trouble is intangible,
But by and by her face became set in
determined, lines, and, she at down at
her little desk and. wrote sheet after

she wrote fewer words, more deliberate-

INDUSTRIAL CENTRE,
Busiest Manufacturing Region on
Earth Due to England's Coal,
About the busiest industrial region on
earth is the lowland of England from
Lenceshine and the Mersey River on the
west to Newcastle -on -the -Tyne in the
northeast, Here are scores of cities and
towns, the home of the textile Indus-
tries, the potteries, the great shops busy
with iron and steel and other raw
materials, manufacturing goods of high
value for a market as wide as the
eerth.
Over all this lowland hangs a black
pall of soft coal smoke,, the landscape
studded with the tall sprouting chim-
neys. For all this endless activity in
Manufacture, says the World To -day, is
wholly due to the location in these low-
lands of fabulously' rich deposits of coal.
Coal for a century, and a half bias

Britain, bringing into existence these
great artisan populations, making de

mantis on every continent for the metals
and timber and. textile fibres for the
busy mills, and then calling on the
farms and ranges of America, for Ar-
gentine and other new lands, for the
bread and meattofeed these industrial
millions.
Of all this textile territory Manchester
is the central market anti clearing house.

ASSOIJAN.
(Kansas City Journal.)
Although he was mild in his speech
and manner, the old gentleman played
golf well. But once when he made a
foozle he ejaculated vehemently the
word "Asseuttnl" A few moments later,
when he made another bad play he re-
peated: "Assonan!"
The fourth time one of his friends
said: "I certainly do not want to be
inquisitive, but will you tell me why
you say eassouate so often?"
"Well," said the old gentleman, "isn't
that the biggest dam in the world?" He
was a Clergyman.

TIOES Of PLIGET SOUK)
Resetss Height of 20 Peet—Dengerous
Stretch of Water.
The waters of the Narrows from
which a panty of University oil Puget
Sound students escaped through good
fortune after a boat was upset, are
4o:14:irons It i a place of tereaule
tides.
Viewed front the precipitous shores the'
surging waters are magnificent. The
scene has been compared with ths gad.
son above New York city. .The witers
of that part of Puget Sound which tx-
tends to Olympia, Mud Bay, Shelton end
Henderson Ray, a vast inland sea tyKie
holt, all flow in and out of the Iser-
rows.
In the upper reaches of the sot ea
some twenty-five or thirty miles Lent
the Narrows the tidesatm a height of
more than twenty feet. When the tide
begin to fall all the accumulated watert
rushes out through the Narrows like a
great river at flood. In like manner
when the tide sets in the direction of
Olympia the Narrows become a swift
and turbulent stream, Frightful
whirl-
pools are numerous. Streams running
powerfully in contrary directions strike
and the water boils.
Large steamboats struck by the con-
triay -currents groan and creak and
sway under the strain. This being so,
it is no' wonder that small craft often
overturn in the Narrows. A. whirlpool
has been known to seize a rowboat and
twist it round and round. until the row-
ers almost despaired of coming out alive.
It is a marvellously beautiful water
with all its terrors, and hundreds and
thousands will continue to find pleasure
there notwithstanding the summer trag-
edies. The rumble of the tidos when run-
ning at fall is like the distant rumble of
the ocean, The terrors of the sea are
an element of its charm, and so it is
with the terrors a the Narrows.— From

Care of New Trees.
Many beginners who plant trees and
shrubbery are floinewhat disappointed
that the trees do not immediately go to
growing. It generally takes trees and
shrubbery one season to fully recover
from transplanting. No matter how
carefully the work is done, there will
always be a Ipso of roots, from which
the tree Must recover before much new
growth is made.
If the trees come put in leaf and seem
to hold their own pretty well, it is about
all you can expect the first season. Some
of the ehoots and branches of newly -
planted trees may die, while the rest
will come out nicely, Dead shoots should
be all cut off. Use a sharp knife and
cut close back to the green wood.
When fall comes heap earth several
inches high around the base of each
tree and tramp it down very hard. This
keeps the tree from working loose dur-
ing the winter season. Many trees die
the first winter from neglect of this
precaution. Of course, we need hardly
add that the first business the following
season is to remove these mounds end
restore the ground around the tree to
its former condition. The mounds are
hardly necessary the second winter, as
the trees are generally sufficiently es-
tablished to get along without it,
Never attempt to move trees when in
full. leaf, as they will, invariably die.
Profit-sharing, which in America is
virtually an experiment, has been in
practical application for a quarter of a
century in England, he number of labor
co -partnership societies there TON from
15 in 1883 to 112 last year, with an in-
crease in beefiness from $800,000 to above
$20,000,000.
The South Metropolitan Company last
year divided $180,000 among its em-
ployees, the equivalent of a 71/2 per zent,
dividend on their wages, and in eighteen
years it has distributed $2,100,000 to
workmen as their share of the profits.
Six English gas companies adopted the
profit-sharing plan during the year.
According to Moody's 'Magazine Mr.
Carnegie says that a Boston. store has
gone furthest of all in "the direction of
making its employees shareholders."
This establishment, he says, employs 700
to 000 men, the capital stock is held. only
by employees and is returned to the cor-
poration at its vaeue should the em-
ployee leave the service. Every share of
stock belongs to some one working in
the store.
