'CHRIST'S FRIENDS.
- (Rev. alleodore L. tluyler, D. D,)
A little group of mengswho had been
obscure nobodies three years before -
Were gathered in an upper room at Jeru-
salem.- The divine Jesus looking around
on the company, say e to thou, "Ye are
my friends." 'Obey had not chosen Him;
He had ehosen thou. The electrie-cord
of divine love had nth& the little group
one. Presently the charmed circle wid-
ens; e brilliant and bitter enemy of
Cbriet is stricken by the heavenly elee-
tx•icity and transformed. iuto a most en-
thusiastic friend. A wretched runaway
•slave in the slums of Rome is lifted in-
to SOseipleship. By and by, great think-
ers, scholars, philosophers and. orators,
amines and Augustines and Chrysos-
toms and Bernards are drawn. in, The
circle keeps widening as the age e roll
on. Pooncottagers in their cabins, poor
widows and orphans in their garrets,
sailors in the foreatatle, sufferers in
hospitals,are aamitted to the wonderful
household, of love. And as the convert -
Mg grace transforms them, and the
geed renn embraces them, we hear Bhn
keep on saying: "I have called you
Mendel" It is the greatest matvel in
history; for out of that obscure handful
in that upper rpm has sprung the
mighty Kingdom of Immanuel, which
shall yet fill heaven with countless my-
riads of glorified spirits. "Ye are my
friends," deseribee them all.

The struggle might have gone on in-
definitely, but for an interruption as
startling in its way as the one which
heel muntnotted her to the bedside of the
dying countess.
The serving maid of the house came
to say that a man wished to see her.
Erna stared a moment, A. man!
''ff you pleose, miss," explained the
gire men.' a gentleman's man."
"What name did. he give?" dmeanded
Erna, the thought flashing through her
mina that this might be one of those
insulting Attempts to make her acquain-
tance, of which she had heard.
"If you please, he sent his humble
apologies, and saiki if you would see him
for lust a eecorad, be was aure you would
forgive hian for troubling you.'
"Tell him I cannot see him," replied
Erna, flushing indignantly. "Seer that

The girl still lingered, shifting uneas-
ily from ono foot to the other, •
"If you please, miss," she etaid, done-
catingly, "but I was to say in case you
refused, that it was a matter of life
and death. And. I am sure he is a very
respectable gentleman's mans bein' quite
iniddle-aged.•like."
Erna was puzzled, but made up her
mind quickly. It could do no harm to
see the man; and if he were insolent,
is would be most easy to call Mr. Hutch-
ins. So she went down witbout the re-
motest suspieion of the truth. And even
for 5 mornmt after looking at her vis-
itor, ;the did not recognize him.
"I beg your pardon, Miss Meech -Miss
Gurnee, I would, say," be exclaimed, at
sight of her.
"You, Walton," she cried, starting
back in dismay.
The man bowed with respectful grav-
ity. Ile was the valet of the Marquis of
Melrose.
"Why are you here? From whom do
you come?" she demanded, her head er-
ect end her brown eyes full of iniperious
questioning.
"I have come with a message, from his
lerdehip,- the marquis. Ile is lybag very
ill at the Imperial, and begs that you
-will do him the boner of coming to see
him,"
"Very ill?" cried Erna.
"His last illness, 1 feel, Miss March,"
Enid the man, with an emotion he could
not conceal, "He is very anxious to see
you once more. I have a carriage at the
aeon in which you and Mrs. Hutebinse
the manager's wife, could be seated?'
"You know about—" Erna stopped
short.
"His lordship knows everything!!
"You say he is very ill?" queried
Eyna,.
"The doctor does not believe he will
recovere"
' Erna felt the tears spring to her eyes.
".I. will go in a few minutes."
She hastened to Mrs. Hutchins, and
begged her to go with her, saying she
would 'explain as they event. So it Was
that not many minutes later when they
were in the carriage, on their way to
the Imperial Hotel.
It seemed to Ermt that it would be
unfair to Mrs. Hutchins to any longer
ONLY TWELVE HOURS.
A good story is told of a great man
in Inaia, who was so eareful in the
education and training of his son that
he engaged ittt Ola Sent,lit to be con-
stautly hi the presenee of the boy for
this purpmeg-that whenever he was
keenly enjoying some pleasure, the old

Erna, with the helpless feeling one al -

"No," he answered, shaking hie head
slimly. "I shall not recover. 1 would
not have sent for you if I had thought

Erna started back at this proof of the
singleness of the devotion of the mar-
tpds; for so she readily understood his
dot. Ile had been willing to let her have
her own way without any regard for
hanseif.
' "You ttaderstand why I did it?" he
queried, watching her face anxiously.
"You are the noblest of men!" she
said, half sobbing.
"Oh, no," he answered, deprecatingly;
"but I have wished all along to be ot
real service to you. I told Lady Itomley"
the next morning, and persuaded her to
let you have your way.' He smiled. "I
think she submitted becouse she was cer-
tain she could, not influence you to
cOange your mind. Then, I came on here."
In an instant Erna compreltenaled all
that bed been left unsaid by the mar-
quis..
"Then no one is aware of the truth of
the -the -that I have left the Castle?"
she said.
"No one knows," he answered.
"Was that wise?" she asked. "I can-
not go book."
"It sensed wiso then," he answered, his
voice low, but quite distinct; "and now
it seems wiser. Will you ask the physi-
cian to come in?"
She went instantly, thinking the mar-
quis was feeling worse. But he stopped
the doctor evlaen he, too, thinking his
Oatient was sinking, began handle -

"Not that," said the marquis. "I wish

How long can I live? No prevarication,
please -1 shall pay you accordingly as
you are honest with me."
A. physician never Moe to tell a
patient ?low little time he has to live;
but the manner of the marquis was
peremptory; and the appeal to the
pocket of the physician was timely,
"It is not possible to say certainly."
"But there is a limit. What is it ?"
"Twenty-four hours,"
The marquis smiled as if pleased, and
Erna shuddered. Death is a' terrible
thing to the young,
' "Thank you," said the marquis; "that
is till 1 wiled you for."
The physician went way. Erna sat
sat silent, not knowing what to say. It
was tre marquis- who broke the silence.
"I ani sure," he said, "that the doctor
is right. I shall not live as long as he
says, even. I would not distress you
unnecessarily," he continued, his cour-
tesy as strong as even; "but it seems
necessary. Now that you know that I

' CHAPTER XXXV, •
The following paragraph appetered in
the London papers of the next morning:
"Tho s Marquis of Melrose died last
night at the Imperial Hotel, Liverpool.
He had gone there oft business of a very
pressing nature, and was taken ill yes-
terday. His first aft was to despatela
an urgent message to Miss March, his
affianced wife. She took the first train
to Liverpool, accompanied by her guar-
dians and kinsmen, Lord and Lady Bern -
ley. At the anxious solicitation of the.
dying nobleman, the ceremony was per-
formed and Miss Erna March in a few
=Mutes became the dowager Marchion-
ess of Melrose. Notices of the marriage
and of the death appear elsewhere in
their proper plaees.
. It was the noble old gentleman, him-
self who inspired the paragraph. Wal-
ton, his faithful valet, had sent it out
soon after the death of his master;" and
se it was that the harpies of the great
social world never had the delight of
picking over the singular' fact that
Exna March had left her home to act
for- twe Bights on the professional stage.
The remains had been at once ternoved
to Melrose, where they loy in state.
Lady Romley had accompanied Erna bid--
ther, intending th remain until after
the funeral; after which Erna was to go
with her to Romley Castle; for 'Mel-
rcse passed into the hen& of the new
Marquis.
The old marquis had settled twenty
thousand o year on Erna. At first Erna
had insisted that she would not ac-
cept the dower; but she was not in a
mood to, hold out long -after it was clear-
ly represented to her that it had been
the dearest wish of the marquis that he
should be the one to lift Erna above
all necessity.
Erna sincerely lamented the loss of
the ad nobleman, whose widowed bride
she was; but it was only the man she
regretted. Her heart had long been.giv,
ea to another, s
In tryth, her constant anxiety, during
all the sad time following the death of
the marquis, was about •Lord Aubrey.
•The time Was slipping away, and. he
must be communicated with. But how?
re It seemed now as if her original plan
could hardly be carried out. How eoukl
she, the widow of the yet un-
buried maiquis, tako upon herself such
an 'errand? It did not matter hew
much she yearned. to see Aubrey once,
more; to go to him under the eircume
staafees would be toe tisk a scandal,
which even she was not foolhardy
enough to defy.
At last she decided to refer the Mat-
ter to Lady Romley. She sought*her,
and approached the subject by asking,
abruptly:
"Whett is the wedding of Lord Au-
brey and Lady Gerttude?"

• GREAT TEMPLES 01%10E,
Have Endured for Ages -Discoveries
of a Recent Expedition.
Changeless Arctic templea of ice
amid the icy deserts of Greenland
were found by the survivors of the ill-
fated Erichaen eOpeditioneto the North
role. A crystal palace of superhuman
architecture vaster than a dozen eath-
4drals and. Egyptian temples, respond-
ent ,with jewels and endless decors:,
tions of TCO, is described.
Created by name in a forbidding
wilderness, it frightened and awedethe
explorers. The dreams of poets 'and
the fancies of (vie bards were sur-
passed by this vision Of colossal love-
liness, which the painter Achton Fries,
a member of the expedition, endeavors
ed to carry awayfor the benefit of
the dwellers in civilization.
More than a mile in length, the lofty
nave of thia temple was pierced at
intervals with windows through which
the gleaming sun rays sparkled on
columns and cubes and immense
lusters of staloctitea like pendent
jewels. Through the centre of the ice
palace flowed a streain al water Whose
occasional ripple and; splashing fall
broke the majestic silenee.
Far north it is possible that ice pal.
aces and tem.ples should endure with.
out change longer than human: struc-
tures of stone. The careasses of pre.
historic monsters have 'remained in-
violate in. Arctic tombs for thousands
of years, evliile granite pyramids have
worn away and Babylonian civilize -
don. has been buried deep in the earth.,

not continue to suffer without giving
Lydia E. Pinkharres Vegetable Cona-

many eases of female ills, such as in-

Origin of the Side Saddle.
This listory of the side saddle is
shrouded in mystery, but it seems toler.
ably certain that sid.e saddles were used
by ladies in England in the days of the
Saxon. ,
It is recorded by Stow in 1720 that
side saddles were invented by Anne of
Bohemia, Queen of Richard IL, " who
was born in 1200; but on a seal of Joan
Countess of Flanders, and dated 1211,
that lady is represented as riding in
thee manner, showing they were in use
1.50 years before the birth of Anne. -
