THE WOOING
OF' ERNA
"Do nut try to find inc. I here mede
my plans ceeefully, and shall be out of
reach by the thee you ere regaling tide
Besides, I could mit return. Lovingly,
gratefully, Erne Mara,"
It was ri, grange and startling atop
for a girl of her Age and prospeots; but
to 0813 who knew her cherecter, it was
aot so surprising. Indeed, one who un-
lertakes to shape destiny with his own
halide is likely, ui the end, to take the
very step the consequence of whick will
defy any preerranged late.
Erna, had studied. the metier eerefully,
to that when she left her room and emerg-
tel into the greet upper halt, she knew
precisely what to do. She did not at-
tempt to leave the Castle by the groat
main door; but stole noiselessly dowa
the great staircase, and back to the west
entrance, where the fastenings were los
massive, and where the door closed. with
a, spring lock.
So at last she was out on the Moonlit
sward, looking back at the Castle which
might have been, her home had she so
willed it.
"I can never retrace this step," she
arnmered. "if I could, I would not
take it. I may find neither forgetful -
nen nor happmeas where X am going;
but at least I may be able td avoid
svreeking other lives than my own. On
my own head be all that comes from this
nueuentl"
She was a bold, self-reliant girl, but
she could not turn her hack on ease,
security and Itteury without A tremor
of terror. for while all this lay there,
0111 within roach, the great unknown ley
before her. As yet there was time. In
one theft hour it would be to fate.
She east one longing lookup at the old
turret of the Castle, and then with a
sob turned and sped away.
"As I hive sown, I must reap," she
murmured. "Anything is better than to
remain in that world new."
It was now that .her sturdy, lade-
rendent life at Aubrey told in her fever.
She trudged shrinkingly, indeed, through
the woous to a side gate in the wall, but
het step was firm and steady, and the
faltering was but the natural timidity
of the maiden), all of whose instincts
were drawing her back from the step her
obstinate determination was making her
take. •
She had timed everything carefully,
and a six -mile walk through the si-
lent court*, with' only •the • silver
light of the moon to light her path,
brought her to a railway station where
a train stopped in a few minutes, Which
would take her to Bolton -on -Hill, where
again she could make quick connection
for Liverpool. •
It was morning when the great sea-
port town was reached, and Erna took
a cab for a hotel, the name of which
was on a card she kept for reference.
It was the Maritime Hotel, a respect-
able, middle class house, the mere
though of which would. have given a
chill of horror to the members of that
world which Erna had turned. her 'back
upon forever.
Later in the day, Erna ordered a cab
and gave this direction to -the driver:
"Globe Theatre, back doore7
Tie man gave her a quick glance of
inquiry, which Erna bore with equate
hinty, having wit enougla to compre-
hend that she was taken for an ac-
tress, and therefore a fit object ef curi-
osity. •
At the theatre she told the man to
wait. She asked for Mr. Hutchins, and
was requested to send. in her card. She
wrote on a piece of paper which was
handed to her, "Margaret Haddon," and
the man took it away,. She wrote the
name without hesitation, which proved.
that she had already thought of it.
• 'Where the doorkeeper returned, he re-
quested- her to "step this way," which
the did, and, after eedangering the in-
tegrity of her limbs was ushered into a
rather dingy room, m which a gentleraan
and a lady were talking.
The lady was very beautiful, but with
something cruel in her dark eyes, ane
in her voice, which, at the moment Erna
entered, was ;pitched somewhat high,
and as uttering words of unmistakable
meaning.
"I tell you • Hutchins, I won't play
again until drat creature be dismissed.
She is a
Erna shrank back at the description
that followed, and. Mr. Hutchins looked
unutterably miserable as he glanted at
Erna and then at the fury of e wortan
who was indulging in vituperation the
very farthest frone lady -like.
"My dear Mrs. Forster!" he protest-
ed, •"I will get rid of her on any terms.
I will do anything in reason to please
you."
"To -night, then," said Mrs. Forster,
"or not A line from me."
"It shall be are soon as I can go to
her," he said, abjectly.
The beautiful woman laughed tri-
umphantly, and turned to go. As she
did so her bola dark eyes fell on Erna,
and she took her in with a cool, impu-
dent stare. Erna merely drew aside to
let her pass. She knew her for the fam-
ous actress, whose *success in heroic
drama was so pronounced.
Mr. Hutchins watched his leading lady
go, and then turned to Erna with a sigh
and a look of annoyance. In his hand
he held her card, to which he referred es

him might be.
"You•wislied to see me—er—" he
hetsitatml and gloated over Erna's beau-
tiful face and perfeet figure. -
"I wishee to see you coficerning an
engagement with our eompanye she
persevered, a blush ovetspreeding her
face. '
"You—er—belong to the profession?"
he queried, studyleg,het again, and find-
ing her tomarke;bly attrective.
"No," she artrevered with a directness
that impressed him; "/ have been only

tance of her wends. '

as°..aiiitil.rebearsal. Erna did neither very
well, nor very badly, anti Mrs. Forster
was at oneo scornful and complaisant,
while the manager was well enough sat-
isfied. He tnerele-eointee out to Erna
where it might be well to put a little
more emphasis aml a little more spirit;
and said to his wife:
"At this rate she will do for Ina and
Won't Nese the bile of ltirs, Forster,"
Erna, however, was not a diplomat.
She two quite ready to do nothing nn -
intentionally to 01 tem). the actress ; but
it did not owe: to her in sober earnest
to refrain from doing- her beet, ineorder
that she might not offend.
She had been a little nervous et the
rehearsal, and. had uot bon somewhat
annoyed by the eager attention of some
of the men of the e,ompany. In the ev'en-
ing dm forgot the men and lost her
nervousness,
The part of Violet Marsdeat WAS
small one; but offered opportunities for
elaborate dressing, and some gooe act-
ing. The eestumee were cheap, but
showy gowns, but when Erna recideher
filet entrance on the stage the effect
was instantaneous. If the gowns had
been of finest silk, amd the jewels real
diamonds,
instead of pote, they could
thardly havo produced, a more decided
sensation.
The neek waacut low, the arms were
oare, and Erna's beautiful head was
poised with a queenly,grece that for a
moment stu,pified, the audience, and
then caused it to burst forth in a thun-
der of applause. Mrs. Forster, f rom
behind the scenes, looked and heard,
and ground her mall, White, even teeth,
Her jealousy was like madness.
But if slue bated Erna for her looks,
she afterward hated •her still more for
her success in her pert. The actrese who
had been displweed had never done so
well. Not that Erna was perfect itt all
tbe little detaile 'of stagecraft; but that
she filled the role with life itne. reality.
And, more than all, that ler voice
seemed to cot a, spell on its heavers,
Erna was an immediate success; and
Mr. Hutchins was torn between the
delight of that fact and the misery of
knowing what the effect on Mrs. Fors-
ter would be...
"You have done remarkably well," he
said, to Erna. -
"You • have had a triumph, Miss Gur-
nee," said the deeding man, impressively.
He had been an immediate victim to
her beauty.
"The text time you make that last
exit," cried Mrs. Forster, coming up, with
flashing eyes, and addressing Erna,
"don't try to get applause on it. I won't
have my lines spoiled."
The two men looked at each other in
consternation. It was in thee way that
the leading lady began with each woman
who seemed to be at all in her way.
Erna turne& her brown eyes calmly on
Mrs. Forster, and answered, quietly:
"I had no intention of spoiling your
lines, 1 de not know how else I should
get off the scene."
"Then discover some way," cried the
aetress, angrily. "f won't have my lines
spoiled for any pet of the manager."
"My dear Mrs. Forster!" the manages
began, deprecatingly, but she interrupted
him contemptuously.
"Well, isn't she a pet? I wonder Mrs.
Hutchins doesn't put a stop to his sort
of thing."
The vulgerity and viciousness of this,
speech made even tho long-suffering
manager flush with' anger
"Mrs. Forster, I will not permit such
language," he said.
"Wont you?" cried the furious actress.
"What will you do about' it?"
Erna did not stop to listen to.any more,
but left, and went hastily to her drew,-
ing room, her cheeks burning andher
eyes flaming with Indignation. Mrs.
Hutchins questioned her, and Erna, after
same diffieulty; told her what had been
said, adding: •
"I am sorry, but it will be impossible
for me to remaifti after this."
But Mrs. Hutchins was up in arms
The same thing had happened before,
and the manager had yielded. his rights
rather than enrage the virago. Mrs.
Hutchins declared. that it should not
happen again. • Mrs. Forster was under
contract and must remain, or make a
large 'forfeit,
She urged this On the natnaget, and..
he, with a sinking ,heart, agreed that he

"You see ".said the manager, "she it'

permitted. to keep the company in hot
water all the time She shan't treat you
so again."
"But she may refuse to act," returned
Erna; "and I have no wish to make you
suffer for my sake."
"She must act Weiss she is ill," said,
Mrs. Hutchins. e
"I -will see her the first thirig in the
morning," said the manager.
So the following nuireing he watt to

(To be continued.)
Erna laugbed at his insistence. But,
after all, what difference did it make to
her vhat her name was? The one she
hid chosen had been made ep of family

"Very well," she said; "let it be Gladys

hands, "If Mrs. Forster had only been
half as amenable to reason," he lowered
his voice and. looked, doubtfully at the
door, "she would have done twice as
well."
"Bt I think Mrs. Fenster a greet ab -
tress," mit' Erna, smiling.
"Certainly, certainly!' A, wonderful
actrese; but think what she might have
been as •Theodora Kemble Courteneyl"
he sighed as he said it- "'However, she
would. be plain Mrs. Forster, and you

Of the stars as Mrs. Foreter. I hope you

"I hope so," and Erna moved towed
the door again.
The manager reflected once more, and
once more retained Erna.

It was very incoherent, but Erna un-
derstood, and was grateful. Her lonely
condition had troubled her.
"Thank you," she answered, warmly.
"If it would not be an intrusion on Mrs.
Eutehine, I should lee very grateful for
her countenance."
"Just what I thought!" exclaimed the
pleased manager. "A:hi if you should

'Erna smiled at the delight he tookin
the' frame he had given her. She asked

and then followed him to where Mrs.

"My wife, Miss Gurnee!" said the
manager, "Mother Miss Gladys Gmmee,

parry. She will attend rehearsal, and. try
her hand to -night. Mother does the
heavy parts. Gertrude Mortimer is her
stage name."
"Oh, yes," said Erna, charmed by the
motherly face el the manager's wife, "1

it was a commomplaee thing to say;
but, said with Era's manner and in her
voice, it completed the conquest of the
manager, who evidently was proud of
hie wife. a
Mrs. Hutchins, on ler part; hal quick-
ly passed from startled wonderment at

A Tonic Such as Dr. Williams' Pink
Pills is Needed to Build Up

At no time itt her life does a girl stand
in greater need of pure red blood and
the strength which it alone can give her,
than when she is developing into woman-

threatenhig. to girls wile are confined
long hours indoors, in stores, offices and
factories—girls depressed by worry and
cares. All these conditions quickly im-
poverish the blood and. are among the
most common causes of sickness among
growing girls and young women. If at
any time a girl finds thee her strength
is failing and she is becoming. pale and
nerveus, has no ambition and Is languid,
ibis a ortaie sign that her blood is fail-

It is at a time like this that Dr. Wil-

Miss Minnie Smith, Creighton street,

About three yealte ago I suddenly began

ROSES FOR PERFUMES,

Roses from which perruMed essences
are extracted are not precisely the setae

garden, and when taking a walk about
the Month of June ha the rose earden
at Bagatelle the flower beds so pleasing
to the the senses of sight and swell bear
little resemblance to the plantations
specially intended to supply roses for
perfumers.
The rose of Provins and others that
are cultivated for the extraction of per-
fumes are much less pretty and charm-
ing. They are cultivated iu several re-
gions of yrance, in Algeria, in the Orient,
in some parts of Asia Minor, but prin-
cipally in Bulgaria.
Such roses require a lightsoil and a
certain amount of humidity. The flow-
ers should- be gathered in the Morning
before the heat of the sun. They should
be buds or searcely opened flowers.
When thepetals are too widely opened
the aroma diminishes. It diminishes.
still more if the flowern begin to get
heated through being I Bft too long in
sacks.
As the season -only lasts from five to
six weeks, it may be" imagined whet
minute care the harvest requires, to-
gether with the need of a numerous
trained personnel. The flowers are dis-
tilled. the same day as they are gath-
ered.
Bulgaria is one of the principal
markets for essence of roses, It pro-
duces an annual average of from 3,500
to 4,000 kilogrammes of essence, valued
at about 3,000,000francs. Of these
4,000 kilogrammes, America takes 1,000
and France 1,500.
The price of a kilogramme of essence
varies considerably ' according to the
abundance of the flowers and the more
or less favorable circumstances under
which they are gathered. It varies from
500 francs to 700 francs, sometimes more.
Some 3,800 kilogrammes Of flowers are
required -for a kilogramme of essence. A
good plantation carefully cultivated will
yield 1,000 kilogrammes to the hectare.
In France and Algeria the distillation
is carried out with highly efficient ap-
paratus. At Grasse and Boufarick may
be seen some distillation works that are
models not only as regards their die.
tilling apparatus, but also for their in-
stallation of every kind. The plant is
supervised and tests carried out by cap-
able chemists who make it produce rte
much as can reasonably be anticipated':

Formal as a Fly Fly Poison.
.Formol has been recommended as a
fly poison by several writers, who have
studied its action aud the best' method
of using it. It is necessary, in order to
obtain good results, that the formol
shall be swallowed by the insect, hence
the flies must be attracted to the poison
by mixing with it an appetizing food
and by spreading the mixture over a
large surface. Honey has given poor re-
sults. The best mixture is that of for-
mol with milk. The best results are ob-
tained by using a solution containing 15
per cent. of the formaline of commerce,
20 per cent. of milk, and 65 per cent. of
water, placed in large flat vessels. Most
of the dead flies fall, not within the
vessels, but around them, sometimes at
a great distance.
