I 0.0 not speak his name—you know it. I love him, and I hate Ulna too. I would. not be his wife—I would die rather. But it is Heaven's truth that I leva him.

The beautiful head drooped, and a choking sob rose in. the round, white throat. Lord Meerose—generous old. nobleman— groaned—groaned because he was power- less to help her. But it was over, The sob was swal- lowed, the proud. head uplifted. fiercely. "I have said, everything, my lord. Do you take met" "Gladly; praying Heaven that I may find the way to make you forget and. be happy," 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 affair is about as irrational as anything Well could be." "Oh, you are a- nom" repliedelady Ilontley in a tone that conveyed. mere than the Words. "Yes I have thaa, misfortune; and I timppose that is why I cannot -compre- hend why Erna shoela think it noes - nary to reject Aubrey with contumely and, scorn When the loves hint to dis- traction and he would give his soul -to have her," "There are delicate points in thereat - ter Which you cannot. appreciate" Was Lady rtowley'e rejoinder. Lord. Itornley shrugged his shoulders a gesture which always Irritated the merehioness. "You are utterly 'without sentiment" saki she; than sighed and went trer "Arid now I must tell Erna about the Ettel of Aubrey's engagement to Lady Gertrude," "Why must you? She will:learn of it Seen enough." "Yes, front some one who Will be Watching her face to see her wino. The marquis Smiled faintly. "Weft% you wateli her ft:or for the same thing, my dart" Lady Romiel simply stated at him; *Melt was the winent thing she 'could have dons, lance down in her heart she knew that she was woman enough to be curious to see how Erna would take St. "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 ar4motinee.12 "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.: "Oh, why have you said. -this?

He made no effort to call her back for an explanation, but followed hex sadly with -his eyes; and when she was gone out of sight, murmured: "Proud, ,passiohate, ungoverned, noble creature!

She .had been singing for him; and its stood by the piano, watching her in such a way as would not Amoy her. She mumbled at the piano her fingers MU - Mug lightly' over the keys. Apparently she had forgotten, him; for she was softly bumming the song she had sung : the first time lie bad ever heard her sing In some way he had learned that it was a tune she had found In the nursery at Aubrey; and he knew now that her thoughts were with the earl, "Erna," he said, gently. 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 your Inemory,". she said; and yet here I have been dreaming by myself. Shall I sing something again?Ie "there any- thing you would preferr "There is nothing I like better than another When you single he answered, "Oh, fie!" shesaid, gayly, "that is flattery." "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 admiration." "Don't say that!" else cried, her eyes deepening with a look of pain, "I want you to understand,—to be sure that there is no man, it does not matter who, whern I am more restful with than with you. Yea never weary, never astraly have I ever given you cause to think se?" med, she looked 'with anxious Vas - 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."

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." • Lady' lornioy looked, at Min wonder- ingly.

"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- ling with a -demon of her own. conjur- ing; and suffering as only those can 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 sheet of huryied writing.

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 been a magical bank account in Great 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.

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.

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.
