He took 4 glass of brandy aw4 water to

for the manager to open his business to

"in relation to that article about Miss.

"A very good advertisement for her.

• This was more than even the manager
dressineds of.

and estimable young lady, and.—

"Net at all. She is sick with grief and

"Stuff!" said, the editor. "Tell her we,

"Sir!" cried the manager, rising
wrathfully, "if you put another libelous
word in your paper concerning me, or
that young lady, I will prosecute ,you,
if ie costs every penny I am worth."
"It would be an excellent advertise-
ment for aotb of us," said the editor,
coolly.
"Those artioles are inspired by Mrs.
Forster, my former leading lady," cried
Mr, Hutchins, very red in the/ace, "and

The editor rang his bell, and a boy
etepped immediately into the room.
"Show this gentleman out," said, the
editor,
Mr, Hutchins was too furious to do
avything but repeat that he would ap-
pal to the law.
The editor sat with his head bent over
some proofs, with every appearance of
having forgotten the existence of his
visitor.
The manager sought a lawyer at once,
and unburdened himself to him. He

When this was clone, he looked at the

"The article is not libelous. You can

Then Mr. Hutchins recalled the fat

Of course there could be no doubt of

his anger greatly subdued, went home
to report to his wife and Erna. He
was in the very midst of his account
when a card was brought up for Erna.
She handed it to the manager, and he,
after staring at it, passed it to his
wife. -
It was the card of the editor of the
Morniik Journal.
"Bring him here," said Erna to the
'servant.
The editor entered, smiling, and quite
a different person from the sphinx -like
gentleman of hardly more than three
hews before. He nodded like an old ea-

"Mae is Miss Gurnee, of course," he
said.
"Yes," she answered, curtly.
"I had a conversation with this gen-

"Benefit me by blathening my char.

"It may. be so; but Miss Gurnee cares
more for her reputation than for fame."
"Quite right; and now that I am
aware of that fact, I have come to tell
her that I will make an editorial re.
traction of the article, which shall be
perfectly satisfactory to her."
Mr. Ilutclans Oared in amazement.
He coulcl not comprehend the mean-
ing of the change in the editor's intee •

out of the question to attribute it to

"It must be, since the infamous arti-

"Nothing eould be Sairer," said the
teenager, more diplomatically.
The editor sinned, bowed, and left the
room, saying as he avents
"I will send a. %medal niessenget

paper.'"
"Thet's the racist extraordinary eir-
cuinstance in my experience," said the
manager. "I do not comprehend it,"
"Ire has thought the matter over, and
hais beeome convinced of its infamous
character," said Erna.
"Not he," declared Mr. Ilutchirte, ems
nhatically. "Ire is moved solely by setts
interest. The next thing in order now,
Will be an apology from Mrs. Venter,"
and he laughed at the abeurdity,
"If you please," eisid the servant, ens

"It is from Mrs, Forster!" •

CHAPTER XXXIII,
The manager and, ids wife stared at
each other, and Erna, turned to the
note. She read it first herself' Mid' then
aloud to them:
"Miss Clatneet-1 ain dyiug, iny phys-
ician says. Will you come to sem me?

ance to say. If you would prevent a.
terrible wreng; come to mo without de-

bee.
'What do you, say, eir?" asked, Erna
of the manager.
"1 don't know what to say."
"You told me she was ill when you
left her?" (gloried Erna.
"Blood was flowing from her mouth.
It was a hemorrhage without a doubt,"
he replied.
"hen I will go," said Erna, decided-
ly. ;Will you go with ure, Mrs. Hutch -
Mrs. Hutchins did not hesitate a mo-
ment; and fifteen minatee later they
were on their way to the 'house where
the sick woman lived. Mrs. Hutchins
remained in the parlor, while Erna, at
the request of the maid, who had. been
anxiously awaiting Erna, went into the
bedroom beyond,
There Wits no manner of doubt that
Mrs. Porster was seriously ill. There
was in her fate that peculiar pallor
which, betokens a great loss of the vital
fluid. And her great eyes were shining
with an unnatural light.
She watched Erna from the moment
of her entrance anti' she reached the
bedside, when a peculiar, bitter smile
passed over the livid lips.
"I am very sorry you are ill," said
Erna, with instant compassion.
The sick woman actually laughed.
"Yes, I' believe you are," he road,
huskily. "I was sure you were that
sort. I don't understand it."
Erna shuddered a little at the tone
and at what the words implied of a.
general distrust of her kind, •
"Can I do anything for you?" she
gently asked.
"Jennie," said the sick woman, to the
maid, "give Miss Gurnee a chair."
Tile maid did as she was bidden, and
then stoed waiting.
."Go out, and don't come until I send
for you," said the sick woman; imperi-
ously.
The maid left with a shade of disap-
pointment on her face.
"Da you know why I sent for you?"
inquind. Mrs. Forster.
Her tone was always low, husky and
painful, but never without something
learcl and bitter.
"Perhaps you belieVed I would de
anything I could for you," said Erna,
feeling infinite pity, mingled with great
repugnance.
ayes, 1 thought you would be one of
tlae forgive -your -enemies sort. You are
a lady, aren't you?"
"I hope so."
"Bah! I don't mean that. I mean
you belong to the aristocratic world. ,1
_am sure you do. I spotted you at once.
That is why I anew it would hurt you
to have that article in the paper. You
knew it was my doing?"
Erna nodded her head.. -
"And yet you came to see me. I
don't understand that. I believe you are
what they call good. I would have kill-
ed anybody who bad hurt me no much.
I mean just what I say," she added, in a
fierce whisper.
"I am sorry you did it," said Erna,
trying to conquer her repugnanCe. "What
can I do for you?"
"You did not answer me. Are you not
an aristocrat?"
"How ean it matter to You?" inquired
Ern"Dae you think I am asking from cur-
iosity?" demanded the woman, scorn -
:fully., "I am dying. The doctor said so.
I would not believe him at first, but I
know it now. I would not otherwise
have sent for you. Are you an aristo-
crat?"
"Yes, you are. I wonder why you ac-
cursed people carry it in your faces, in
your manners? How I hate you: all!"
There was something horrible in tlae
quiet intensity of the woman's words.
"Why should. you?" asleed Erna, won-
dering why she had been called to this
dying woman's bedside.
The woman laughed fiercely, and star-
ed at Erna before she anewered.
"You will know before you go away,
Yes, I hate you, but I atn going to pre-
vent a great wrong to a woman I don't
know. Why is it, I.wonder? I cannot
tell. I suppose I am weak and foolish.
Perhaps the coming of death makes me
so. So you are len aristocrat! Yes, you
looit. I don't, but even I did once;
and I swear I was fte beautiful as you,
then. Not so long ago, either."
She talked as if unconscious of Erna '
'even while she addressed her; and .b.er
tone and worth conveyed an impression
or something terrible in the past. Erna
did not speak, and after a short silence,
the woman resumed
"Did you ever hear of the Earle of
Aubrey?"
Erna started as if she had been stung,
and the woman noticed it,
"Alt, yes, you have. Handsome, isn't
he? Too handsome I Well, never mind.
Would you carry a message to him?"
"I would see that he received it," Erna
answered.
"So that is how you feell X. wonder
what he has done to you. Do you hate
him? But of course you don't You
would do anything for him. You love
him! Well, I can trust you to deliver
this message, then,"
She said all this as if she errula read
Erna' ts soul.
"Yon must know the story;" she said,
"or he would not believe you. I am his

liortor of the woman growifig stronger
and stronger with deli moment.
In fact, nothing could have been more
terrible than the husky, rapid speech; the
vidousness of the tone; the .certain ae-
sumption of the things she said. She
was dying, she wished to peeved a

Erna listened, shuddering, lt was aw,

yet there was a secret joy in it. She
had never doubted Aubrey. But the stoat

know the truth.

Erna drew back, shuddering more and

She turned over with an effort, an4
lay quite still. Erna rose like one froz-
en with horror, and started to leave the
room. Suddenly there mune a last 'word
from .the bed.
"Tell him, sv.hen you see him, that Lu-
cie de Senile sends her love!"
CHAPTER XXXIV.
Erne left the house where the wretch-.
ed Countess of Aubrey lay dying, with-
out being able to see dearly her duty.
That LorA Aubrey should be informed
at once of the existence and state of his
wife, was clear enough; but how to in-
form him? Should it be.by letter? No;
a letter' migat miscarry; it might not
reach- him until after his ,marriage with
Lady Gertrude, since Mrs. Foster had
declared that the wedding was to take
place in a few days.
She might send -a messenger. Who
should it be? He must be a trusty one,
and' one who would carry convictiens of
truth with hint No; somehow the
thought of a messenger was not satistae,
tory. Must she go herself? Perhaps
that would be the best way,
Erne tried to deceive herself into be-
lieving that it was imperative that she
herself should go to Lord Aubrey, Then,
after a short struggle to accomplish the
deception, her natural and courageens
frankness asserted itself, and she said
to herself: .
"I will gg, because I wish to' see aim
again. I wish to apologize to him for all
that I have said to him about this paste
and let him know that I never, in truth,
believed any of the things I said."
At first she thought there might bo
danger in the meeting; but afterward
she was satisfied that the earl must do.
spise her too much for her cruelty to
him to be likely to renew the infatuation
he had once felt. Her heart throbbed
painfully at the thought, but the check-

in her own room, "I drove him from me,

I was wicked and cruel; and it is my
punishment that I must never think of

She buried her, face in her hands and
wept. Ail! hoe,' changed shewas from

Miss Dorothy Drew, who was pre-
sented at court a few days ago, was
the favorite granddaeghter of the late
W. E. Gladstone, and among the stories
told of her childhoodedays is the. fol-
lowing; One morning she refused to get

Gladstone was called to her. "Wile'
don't you get up, my child" he asked,
"1,Vhy, grendpapa, didn't you tell me to
do whet the Bible says?" replied Dona
thy. "Yes, certainly," "Well, it dis-
approves of early rising—says it'* o.
waste of time," rejoined the child., Mr.
Gladstone was unable to agree, but
Dorothy was sure of her ground. "You
listen, then," elle aid, in reply , to his
exclamation of astonishment, and, tak-
ing up her Bible, she read verse 2 of
Psalm 127, laying great emphasis on the
words, '`It is vein for you to „rise up.

Health.
Anaemia. is simply lack of b1oo4,- It
is one of the most common and at the
same time most dangerous disemies
with which growling girls suffer. It is
corfunon because the blood so often
becomes impoverished during develop-
ment, when girls often overstudy,
over work and suffer from lack of ex-
ercise, It is dangerous because of the
stealthiness of its approach and he.
cause of its tendency to grow so steadily
worse, if not • proinptly checked, that
it may ran into consumption. Every
growiagagiel shbeiel take an occasional
tonic toward off the insidious trouble;
and In all the world there is no tonic
that cern equal Dr. 'Williams' Pink Pills,
Every dose of this meaicilie helps to
enike new, rich blockl, which promptly
makes weak, pale, listieas girls bright,
rosy and strong. Miss A. M. Dugay,
Lower Cove, N. Se says: "I believe I
owe my life to Dr. Williams' Pink Pills,
My blood seemed to have turned to
water. I was pale as a sheet; I seta:
fend from headaches, and floating
specks seemed to be consfrintly be,
fore my eyes. As the trouble pro-
gressed my limbs began to swell, and
it was feared that dropsy had set in

to this time two doctors had attended
me, but notwithstanding I kept grow -

began usine°Dr. - Williams' Pink Pills,
and after taking a few boxes 1 wa.s

Pills , until I had taken eight boxes,
when my health WaS completely re-

Dr. Williams' Pink Pills mice eases
like this because they go to the .root
of the trouble in the blood. That Is
why they cure rheumatism and indi-
gestion, nervous headaches and tack-

from which growing girls and seamiest
of mature years so often suffer in hope-.

Robin Hood No Myth.
Many faMOLe inen have their names
linked with telverwoo,i—King John, the
three Nils -aide, Richard III., Cardinal
Wolsey mei Charles I. --but the Iwo of
the places the esaniue led,' is Roble
Hood.
Some think that the famous outiew
ef the ballads was a myth, a mere poetic
conception autl a creature of tin popular
mind, but Mr. Hunter in his research in-
to the pewee and period of Robin
lima haws that .he was been between
1285 ard 1205, living through the reign
of the b:,cf.mtl. Edward and iete the early
e ears of the third. Ile was of a family
of Emu° station seated near Wakefield
and supported the Earl,of Laneaster itt
hia rebelling against the goyernment.
When the earl fell 'and his followers
were proscribed Bolan Hood took to the
woods and supported himself by 'slaying
the wila animals fours' in the forest and
by levying a species of blackmail on
passengers along the great road 'which
united London and Berwick. This con-
tinued •'for about twenty months, from
April., 1322, to December, 1323, when he
fell iuto .the king'a power, who for
some uultnown reason not only pardoned
him but gave aim teplace at meet. Any-

The First Airship Service.
It is now reported that the first of
the steerable airships which are to run
between Paris and the provinces is to
Lave Sartrouville, near Paris, some
time this month for Meaux. During the
Nancy exhibition she may make two
tiips around that town,
It is evident from all the prices of
aerial voyages quoted so far that only
the rich among, us will be able to afford
them for some time to come. From £2
to R4 is mentioned by the president of
the Aerial League at the probable cost
of tt trip of thirty miles only,
It Is true that airship sheds (or clocks
to he more consistent) cost not less
than £2,000, and may cOst well an to
45,000, and that an airsbip herself costs
from £10,000 to £10,000, and may very
likely semi have an accident which will
cost much more to put right. But rail-
way stations and railway trains, and
especially railway lines, cost much more
them this to build.
We were all thinking that Lucerne
was to lueve the first airship service
connected with a German town, but now
it seems that France is to have this
honor. The Lucerne -Germany service 14
not promised until next summer, while
the Paris tO Fontainebleau, Rouen,
Lyons, Bordeaux, Pau or Nancy services
are promised—at any rate, same of
them—by September next.
There will be five steerable airships of
the Pattie type, which will carry from
eight to twenty passengers each, be-
sides crew. Paris will be their port and
the docks will be nt Issy. There will
be four' lines, one toward the east, via
Reims (three of the stations on which
are said to be practically rettycl), ores
toward the southeast (the stations on
width are not yet begun), a third to -
weed the southwest to Orleans, Tours,
Bordeaux and Pau, and it fourth to the
west of Rouen via Sartrouvillc, which
has it station nareedy. The first airship
is ready and has been named the 'Ville

Oregon Woman Kills a Coyote.
From special Game Warden Hodson
It is learned there is certainly one
farmer's wife in. this county who
knows how to use a rifle. When on
Sugar Pine Mountain, with an eye
out for violators of the game law,
on the 1st inst., he heard a shot, and
looking in the direction from which
the report mune he saw a woman
shooting. Turning toward the point
where she -had the gun pointed he saw
a dead sheep and near it a dying
coyote. The lady was the wife of
Joseph West, and she told the rest
of the story.
Hearing the sheep running she saw
the coyote pull down and kill otie of
their sheep. Grabbing her husband's
rifle she got out of the house in time
to see the coyote catch another, and
then she opened fire on the brute.
She hit it at the second discharge of
the gun, killing it at once, and that
was all there was of it,—From the
