he, felt a sudden tenderness towarn her;
and he asked hiluself if it might be that
he would find peace and happiness with

face of Lord. Aubrey, and in her ipassion-
ate soul there wee a turmoil which she
ehould not comprehend.
All she was coneelous of wes a deter-
mination that Gertrude should not sur-
pass' her. And. yet she was angry with
herself for caring whether she was sur-
passed or not. Why should she strive
to snake Lord Aubrey feel that she was
superior to Lady Gertrude? What
should it matter to her? •
She explained it partially by telling
herself that she wished to punish Lady
Gertrude for being elated. because Lord
Aubrey had so pointedly left the room
on the eve of hee recite]. She obese to
forget, as we all will forget what mars
an argument, that she had determined to
surpass Gertrude before the earl tram-
gressed by leaving the Town.
The duchess was quick to see what an
impression Lady Gertrude had made on
the earl. Indeed, it was pate= that his
atteuations to her were marked. Her
grace was determined that Lady Ger-

replaoe her with her own maerlagable
daughter. And yet they all crowded
about the singer and congratulated her
on her access; and there was no ap-
•pearanee, of anything but a desire to be
happy. With MI her desire to dim the
lustre of Lady Gertrude's performance
the duthess was far too astute to hurry
Erna to the piano; though she got tier

It was an unkind sarcasm, and the old
nobleman was as aware of it as any
of the young men, who covertly smiled
at his expense; but his infatuation had
gone so far as to render himindifferent
te anything the beautiful creature might
say, as Icing as she gave him the hap-
piness of waiting on her.
Erna had no music, but she did not
need it, her memory being excellent She
sat down and ran her fingers carelestly
over the white keys es if she were con-
sidering what she would sing, There was
an unetudied grace in everything she did

°A Power Howie.
((. W. Casson.)
The ideal of a rniterian ebureh is
that it shall be a spiritual power house,
generating the inorel fowl that shall
later expend itself in the service of• Man-
kind. There is no thought of selfish
benefit on the patt of those who attend.
The church simply presents to them an
oppoetunity mut a privilege, of coming
into more intimate and vital (retell with

verge, and as of becoming stronger to
do the work of life. Its Sunday service)
is preprolitnry in the wider serviee

So his thoughts ran, even while he
stood entranced by the marvellous per-

had once known EIS a merry madcap, but
now knew only as a eisdainful woman,
Then tier vice ceased, and a perfeet

quietly from the room, and went out on
the terrace to smoke a °tax and to -
think.
It seemed'. to him that it was the first
time he lina been able to think ration-
ally for many yeers. For needy five
years he 'Rad been seeking danger and
forgetfulness in every clime. He hail
.braved &alit and disease in the far

home because he was tired of roaming,
and because he was noW scornfully indif-
ferent to the opinion of the world. It
no longer mattered to him that he was
wrongfully smirched with the mire that
was rightfully all another's.
He had come home; oynical and. care-
less, confident that he was callous to
the ordinary emotions. Ile had intended
to contemptuously shun everybody, and
.had commenced his new life by refusing
to see the callers who came, Then s,

at the time, but whioh he vaguely knew
mar to be connected in some way wibh
Erna, came over him and he bad, begun

'He knew that Ids reputation would
not stand in his woy in the world of

ough to know that his reputation would

terrace, "it cute like a knife to listen
to the scornful words of Erna Mareh,
but I honor her far more than I can

Nevertheless he believed it his duty to
select a mistress for Aubrey, and since,
as he believed, his heart was dead to

had seen Lady Gertrude, and admired
her beauty. Be had beard her sing, and
lead been charmed by her voiee.
She was young, beautiful, of good
family, and unlikely to refuse SO good
an offer as that of his hand. He had
found it easy enough to be pleasant to
her, and his mind wae made up to ask

"Yes," he murmured, "I will nutke her

A man more .accustomed to analyzing

pathetic audience, both of which always
go far to make success. Of leer audi-
ence, however, she thought only of Lord.
Aubrey, and it was with Wm alone ht
her mind that she sang.
She had a riele well-trained voice,
and she rendered the words and music
with such precision and fidelity that
everybody was delighted, and applauded
her without stint. She only looked. up
into the face of Aubrey for his approval
and she received it in his pleased smile
and grave nod. •
"You will sing again?" he said to her,
in a low tone.
"Charming! Delightful!" broke in
the Duchess of Roseboro, corniug up
with the gracious smile of a pleased
hostess. "What a voles she lute? Such
execution, tool"
"I was just esking her to sing some.
thing else," said the earl, "Will you
not add your entreaties to mine, your
grace?"
"Oh, she will Certainly sing again,"
said, the duchess. "Everybody is de-
manding more. Do give as something
else, Lady Gertrude." '
Lady ,Gertrude was willing enough to
do so, since she had .prepared herself for
the emergency by practicing another
song, which she knew wee a fagorite
with the earl. •
"You are sure," she said, "that anoth-
er song would not be considered de
trop?"
"I know you asked tliat:" said the
duehess, with an air of candor suck as
cottld be -mastered only after many sea-
sons of dissimulation, "because I refus-
ed toe permit Miss March to recite
again. That was because she is to Bing;
and I did not think it heir to let her
tire herself. A magnificent recitation,
was it not, Lord Aubt'ey. They say you
are a famous horseman. You should
know how to enjoy it."
"It was magnificent, indeed," he re-
plied. "1 have never heard it so well
rendered before. But, then, Miss March
is a wonderful borsewoneen, and can en-
ter into the spirit of such a thing."
"Who would have believed he could
carry it off so -well!" thought Lady Ger-
trude, greatly amused at his answer.
"Indeed!" said the duchese, preparing
to move away, "I did not know she
was a horsewoman."
"I dare to say there is not a better in
England," he replied. "She will ride
anything, Rue has the record for the
most daring jump in our county."
Lady Gertrude's mind was startled in-
to activity by all she had heard in those
few minutes. The idea that Erna Was
to sing had filled her with delight; her
feeling -being that the comparisonith
her own. singing Wouldeadd so much to
her triumph.
Then eame the assertion by the earl
that Erna was a fine horsewoman, and
had taken an especially daring jump.
But Erna bad never once spoken of her
riding, though there had been opportun-
ities enough for doing so. Was it pos-
sible that she could sing, and had never
revealed the fact?
The vague feeling that there was a
sort of rivalry between her and Erna
for the winning of the prize of the sea-
son, grew into the mere definite feeling
that Erna had the start of her already,
and that slie was a far More dangerous
rival than she had believed. If to her
beauty she added other charms that
appealed particularly- to the earl, she
would be dangerous.
Lady Gertrude was committed to the
task of winning the earl. It was not
merely that she had boasted at the
school that she would do so, nor the
eddee fact that her father a,nd mother
Intel impressed On her the great advan-
• tage of doing so; but stronger than any
and. every other reason was the one
that, she was learning to love Lord
Aubrey,
She might not have discovered the
fact but fore -the fear of toeing him to
some one else; but she had diseovered
Id now, and she registered a vow deeper
than any she had ever tegistered be-
fore, that she would let no one tage
him from her. And if song would touch
his heart, thenher song should be sweet-
er than Erna's.
She had a rich, powerful voice,
well trained and carefully eised,
but it had always leaked the one
most essential quality -feeling. She
had. not been conscious of the
fact. She had modulated, her voice in
accordarice with the instructions of her
master, but as she hied not herself felt
the music, she had not been able to im-
part feeling to it.

CONSTABLE 011 PREACHER?
(Moutreal Gazette.)
One churelt body lately in session
made denianes for enactments pro-
hibiting the traffic in liquor and ee.
stricting the sale of tobacco, and call.
nig. for severe treatment of sinners
against' the morel law. This may be
well and it May not be well. There
was a time when the church sought to
make men better„ not with the club of
Caesar, but with the persuasion of the
Word. It is notable also that with
the cries for lawto restrain men in
what entity think are harmless enjoy-
ments, come complaints of a decline in
the spiritual life of the community.
Kay not the two things have a con-
nection? If the constable is to keep
people in the right path, where is the
preaclier's usefulness?

Gifts of Healing.
Peter's shadow had healing power in
it. The sick upon whom it rested even
for a moment, as he passed by, became
strong and well, and rose up cured and
happy. There are those in every com-
munity who carry with them, wherever
they we, a like influence of healing and
blessing. They bear into a sick room a
delicate sympathy which not only enters
into the expevience of the suffering,
but puts new cheer and hope into the
heart of the sufferer. They speak en-
couraging and inquiring words, Their
face has in it a message of cheer wher-
ever it appears. They bring some pro-
mise of Clod, some word of hope end
encouragement, The diseouraged man
theyinset is made to feel not only that
he has found a friend who is truly
interested in him, but also that, alter
all, his case is not so hopeless as he
imagined it to be, and that he need not
despair. He is ready to try again. It
ts a blessed thing to carry emit cheer
and sympathy to despondent hearts. -
