The Son of Man. On occasione. of controversy He defi- nitely aupounced His Divinity, but He habitually presented Himself as the or of Man.

"Go tell her that I fear nothing but sin!" was the consum- mate reply. Oh that men would rise to mastery and shift the ground of their fears. then we should heve robust, her- oic men. To fear God and to fear sin are the two sides of the same -thing.

He took 4 glass of brandy aw4 water to steady his nerves; and then started. out for his interview with the editor. It wee early, but the editor svaa at the office, ad alr, flutelaus was readily admitted, The editor was a grim, toga tarn sort of mitit, and welted sileutly for the manager to open his business to "I .came," said. the latter, hesitatingly, "in relation to that article about Miss. Gurnee in this morning's issue." "A very good advertisement for her.

"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 ltohN,evyare libel:eras. I will appeal to the "Please do." 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 was Its angry now as Erna coiled wish any champion to be. The lawyer listened wed 'asked ques. -Dans. Then ne took out hi paper and cari carefully read the article 'n question. When this was clone, he looked at the angry manager. "The article is not libelous. You can do nothing." Then Mr. Hutchins recalled the fat that he had. told Erna the same thing. Of course there could be no doubt of • it. It meant, then, that he wasto lose both his leading actresses, with no pehlaars. of finding any one to take their He paid the lawyer his fee, and with 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- quaintanea to Mr. Hutchins, and singled Erns. ort a once: "Mae is Miss Gurnee, of course," he said. "Yes," she answered, curtly. "I had a conversation with this gen- tleman," indicating the manager, "a few hours ago, on the subject •of the article widch appeared in the paper this morn - jug: Evidently there has been some mis- apprehension about it. I intended to benefit you, Miss Gurnee—" "Benefit me by blathening my char. rider?" she cried, indignantly. "I ask your pardon for the misunder- standing," he said, smiling calmly. "I will leave it to Mr. Hutehins if suck an artiole would not be hailed with jay by most members of the profession. You worild have a crammed house to -night on the strengeh of it. la.hat do you say, Mr. Hutchins." "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 • Hots. It certainly was not fear. It wits out of the question to attribute it to good feeling. "I trust you will do as you say," Erna stall proudly. "I give you my word that I will make such an editorial as even yott would an - prove. In fact, 1 will clo an unheard- of thing; I will submit the editorial to you for your approval. Will that he satisfactory?" "It must be, since the infamous arti- cle has appeared," replied Erna, uncoms promisingly, ,es "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 around some time this afternoon with the editorial. Any additions -you wish made, please note on the margin of the 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 tering the rooms "a note for Mites Gur- nee; and the messenger will wait for an a ftswer." Erna tore open the note, width, wad direelea in it delicate feminine hand. In het heart there was it strange fotabods kg as she did so.

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? 1 have something of the utmost import- ance to say.

"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 Wife, Odd, isn't it( that you and. I should be brought together in this way? 1Vere you lovers before he became en- gagecl to this Lady Gertrude? ' You won't answer. It doesti't matter, Did you know he was to marry her next week?

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 wrong; yet at tine wine time she seemed almost to revel in he wickedness).

But the stoat ies had troubled her, It was good to know the truth. "Accideat seemed to favor me at first; and my accomplice, a Woman was killed in a storm, together woth the man who had brought tae whole affair about. %tat left but one more who knew any- thing of the affair. He was foolish en- ough to try and bend me to his will. I killed him—poison," Erna drew back, shuddering more and more. It was so terrible a spa be limed- ible. The woman sneered as she noted the moveneent, "I thought, then, that I had our earl securely; fate was against me; and he learned the truth.

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- ed it .with a sort of fierceness. • 'N'o," she cried out, as she stooa alone' in her own room, "I drove him from me, when ray heart was crying out for him.

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 .de Nancy.—Queen. 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 Rosebury News, Minard's Liniment Mires Garget in Cows. - s LOTS OP' WATER.
