SYNOPSIS. The Escapade opens, not in the romanre preceding the marriage of Ellen olocum, a Puritan miss, and Lord Carrington of England, but in their life after settling in England. The scene is placed, just following the revolution, in Carrington castle in England. The Carringtons. I after a house party, engaged in a family tilt, caused by jealousy. Lord Carrington and his wife each made charges of faithlessness against the other in continuation of the quarrel. First objecting against playing cards with the guests. Lady Carrington agreed to cut cards with Lord Strathgate, whose attentions to Ellen had become a sore point with Carrington. The loss of SIOO,OOO failed to perturb her. and her husband then cut for his wife’s I. O. U. and his honor, Carrington winning. The incident closed except that a liking for each other apparently arose between Lady Carrington and Lord Strathgate. Additional attentions of Lord Carrington to Lady Cecily and Lord Strathgate to Lady Carrington compelled the latter to vow that she would leave the castle. Preparing to flee, Lady Carrington and her chum Deborah, an American girl, met Lord Strathgate at two a. m., he agreeing to see them safeiy c _JQXjj|g|^jKiruLiigutv driving, to his castle. left him stunned in the road carriage met with an accident. Debbie then struck out for h, where she intended to sail I^. America. Hearing news of Ellen’s flight. Lords Carrington and Seton set out in pursuit. Seton, locating a fishing village, hit the trail of Ellen and Debbie. He then rented a fast vessel and started. ! n pursuit, Carrington pursuing Stra.--e.ate. Strathgate, bleeding from fall, dashed on to Portsmouth, for which Carrington, Ellen and Seton were ilso headed by different routes. Strathgate arrived in Portsmouth in advance of the others, finding that Ellen’s ship had sailed before her. CHAPTER Xl.—Continued. Carrington was armed. He hauled a pistol from his belt, cocked it and leveled it fair at Strathgate. “Bring that boat into the wharf,’’ he cried, “or I’ll shoot you like the dog you are!” Strathgate did not blanch. He balanced himself easily to the roll of the boat and looked square at Carrington. “Would you add murder to your other follies?” he answered. He was an easy mark, the distance, was short, Carrington was a sure shot, and if ever a man had murder in his heart it was in that of Ellen’s husband. Yet there was something in the dauntless way in which Strathgate faced him and in the fact that the latter appeared unarmed, that caused Carrington, with finger upon the trigger, to stay the pressure. “Why don’t you fire, my lord?” cried Strathgate. “Draw your weapon, Strathgate,” said Carrington, dropping the point of his own pistol. “I’m sorry to say that I’m unarmed.” There was no use. Carrington could not kill him under the circumstances. He stood staring after him for a mo»naent, and then raised his hand and hook it in the air. “God have mercy on you if I meet i again!” he cried. ‘Take the peril to yourself, Lord yirrington,” Strathgate called out, /nd with a farewell wave of his hand the cutter shot out beyond the extremy ity of the pier, and, catching the full force of the breeze, which happened to be blowing straight up the harbor, necessitating a hard beat out against it, bore away toward the opposite shore. Pistol in hand, Carrington turned and confronted the astonished crowd which had gathered in his rear. ‘‘What went he after?” he asked. The men facing him looked from one to another. Carrington thrust the pistol back into his belt, tore out his pocketbook, opened it, and took out a ten-pound note. “That for information.” One of the men whose boats Strathgate had disdained to employ forced his way through the crowd. ‘‘l’ll tell you for the money.” “Speak out. ’Tis yours.” “He come down here lookin’ for a man and a woman, and Cooper, he owns the boat yonder, said his brother put a party containin’ a man and a woman aboard the Flying Star or a ship like her last night.” “What then?” asked Carrington. “Then he offered a hundred pounds for the fastes’ boat to put him aboard the Flying Star afore she got clear into the channel.” “And he took Cooper’s boat,” said another boatman. “Is she the fastest in the harbor?” “Well, there’s some as do say that Jim Haight’s boat’s got the heels of her.” ij| “Here’s your ten pounds,” said Car^■^Kngton. “Where’s Haight?” “Here I be, master.” “A hundred pounds to you,” said Carrington, “if you put me aboard that ship, and another hundred if you put me there before Strathgate.” “And if I don’t do neither?” returned Haight, quickly. “Nothing,” said Carrington. “It’s win or lose.” “I take you, yer honor,” cried Haight, whose sporting blood was aroused, and the remark was greeted by three cheers from the wharf. “If it’s in the power of a Portsmouth boat to do it, Haight’s the man for you, master,” said one old veteran. “Stay,” continued Haight, “I’d like to know who I’m dealin’ with.” “I’m Lord Carrington, first lieutenant of the Niobe yonder.” He pointed to one of the frigates swinging ahead in the line of battleships of Kephard’s fleet. “Right-o, your lordship,” said Haight, making a sea scrape at the mention of rank, social, political and naval, of his speaker. “Lads, who goes with us?” He picked up three or four volunteers, to whom Carrington promised a suitable reward. “My boat's twice as big as Cooper’s cutter, and I need the hands, your lordship.” “Take anybody, anything you ; please,” said Carrington. “Where's the I boat?” “She be lyin’ beyond the other pier. Shall I bring her here, or—?” “We’ll go there,” returned my lord. "’Tis quicker”

Committing his horse to one of the bystanders, with instructions to take him to the inn, Carrington, followed by Haight and three seamen, ran back to the shore, made their way along the strand to the other pier, leaped into the boat, which was a large, swift cutter, as Haight had said, at least half again as big as Cooper’s, which was now well down the harbor and going tremendously under every freshening breeze. To cast off the iines, hoist the sails, warp the boat alou< the pier until she gained the open roads, was the work of a few moments. Carrington stood quietly while the skillful men worked busily around him, but so soon as the wind filled the sail and the boat gathered way he came aft, calmly displaced Haight at the helm and sailed the boat hirhself. And no one in that harbor knew how to do it better than he. CHAPTER XII. Lady Carrington’s Luck. About two o’clock in the morning, as Ellen had expected, the breeze sprang up. It blew fitfully in cat’s paws and light baffling airs at first. Ellen made the most of every possibility presented, however. She was

I sl ^7 \ ■< A jv t * i A ) t wan \ I a 0 ir 4 1 4 sWI I M-wh W I * b I ' I I I “Tit Probably Strathgate as You Say.”

desperately anxious to get to Portsmouth and she handled her boat with all her accustomed skill, rejoicing in her possession of it. She did not awaken Debbie. She let the boat drift while she herself hoisted the single sail it bore. After an hour of vexatious backing and filling, she thought the breeze was growing stronger and by four o’clock to her great joy the wind had settled and was blowing steady from the southeast, straight up the channel, that is. There are two entrances to Portsmouth harbor; one between the Isle of Wight and the mainland, the Solent, and the other around the southern extremity of the same island. Ellen had drifted seaward during the night and she decided that her best course was to round the island and run up to the harbor with a beam wind. The breeze was growing stronger every moment. Indeed, the little boat keeled over so far that sometimes the lee gunwales were perilously near the water line. Presently, Ellen woke up Debbie in order to trim the ship, bidding her crawl up to windward. Before Debbie took her position, they made such morning meal as they could on tepid water and the remains of the hard bread, and then settled down for their run into the harbor. The little boat was jumping and pitching fearfully, but Debbie was almost as good a sailor as Ellen, and she suffered no inconvenience from the wild motion. As for Ellen, her heart exulted. She had something to do besides think. The sailing of the boat required all her skill and ability. It was no light task to hold the helm in one hand and the sheet in the other and fight her way through the rising seas. The boat rode the water like a duck, however, and did not ship a drop of spray. They were well past Bainbridge when the day broke fair and clear. Ellen had been so occupied with the ! business of sailing the boat that she i had not paid any attention to what I was astern of her. It was Debbie ; who about a half hour after sunrise . pointed out another and a larger boat

following in their wake. In the presence of such a boat at such a time, there was nothing suspicious, yet some premonition of danger caused Ellen to survey the other vessel, a small lugger, perhaps a mile astern, with deep and intense interest. Something seemed to whisper to her heart that its presence boded no good for the fugitives. In order to settle the matter. Ellen suddenly put up the helm and ran broad off toward the channel. The other boat followed her motions at once. At this confirmation of her sus- i picions, Ellen once more brought her ' own cutter on her previous course, , and again the other boat followed the movements of the first. “They’re pursuing us.” said Ellen. | “I thought so,” returned Debbie. “Who can they be?” queried Ellen tightening her grip upon the tiller. “It might be your husband,” an- | swered Debbie. And if that were so. It flashed into ' Ellen’s mind that perhaps the best thing would be to throw her own boat i up into the wind, doff sail, or at least just give her steerage way and wait | to be taken back! But Debbie's voice dispelled that dream. “It's more likely to be Lord Strathgate,” continued the American girl, “than anyone else. .He would naturally follow us to that little village, if he were not so seriously wounded as : to be utterly helpless and of course he would pursue us The thought smote Ellen’s heart. There was so much probability of it. “Ay,” she said, “tis probably Strathgate as you say.” “He’s undoubtedly intensely angry with us both, or with you at least, Ellen,” continued Deborah. “You know you tried to kill him last night.” “I wish to heaven I had succeeded!” returned Lady Carrington. “And we both left him helpless in the road and he can’t be feeling very ■

kindly toward us," went on Deborah with innocent simplicity. "He pretended to love me,” said Ellen, scornfully. “Well, he shall never ; take me into that boat. I’ll sink this one rather than—” "Oh, please don’t do anything so rash,” cried Deborah, alarmed at that threat. "I’m sure I don’t want to be sunk and drowned because Lord Strathgate loves you and Lord Carrington doesn't.” "How do you know he doesn’t?” cried Ellen. “Why, you said that he and Lady Cecily—” “Don’t you ever dare mention that woman’s name to me,” returned the other, fiercely. "She beguiled him and enticed him—l hate them both!” I She was on the verge of another j breakdown. Deborah was appalled by ; the vehemence of her companion and ' tactfully interposed a remark to i change the trend of her thoughts. "I think they’re nearer to us now.” ! "They are,” cried Ellen as she sur- I veyed them with her practiced eye. ' “Their boat is larger, she spreads more sail. She goes three fathoms to our two. What shall we do? Here take the tiller a moment. Hold it just as it is and the sheet in the other hand.” “What are you going to do?” asked Deborah as she obeyed her captain’s commands. “I'm going to see if there are any powder and shot in the lockers forward. I was a fool to come away with only the charges in my pistols.” “Would you shoot him?” "Ay, that I would,” returned Ellen, "rather than fall into his hands.” She stepped forward and rummaged in the locker under the bows but found nothing. She made her way aft again and disturbing Deborah opened another locker in the stern sheets. There to her good fortune she found a flask ; of powder but no bullets. She was bitterly disappointed at this lack, but at least something was gained. She knelt down on the thwarts and with skill bred of ancient practice rapidly charged both her pistols.

CARMACK IS KILLED FORMER SENATOR SHOT DEAD ON NASHVILLE STREET. POLITICS CAUSE OF DUEL Robin Cooper Slays Editor of The Tennesseean Because of Published Attacks on His Father. Nashville, Tenn. —Former Senator । Edward Ward Carmack, editor of The Tennesseean, was shot and killed , Monday afternoon about four o’clock ’ on Seventh avenue North, in front of the Polk flats, by Robin Cooper, a son of Col. Duncan B. Cooper. Mr. Carmack was going north on Seventh avenue in front of the Polk flats and Col. Cooper and his son Robin were approaching Seventh avenue on Union street. Soon after they came in sight of one another the shooting began, Robin Cooper, it is •said, firing two shots and Senator Cari mack one. Col. Cooper, it is said, drew his pistol but did not fire. I Senator Carmack fell tb the ground, ■ dying instantly. Robin Cooper was shot in the right shoulde- but was not badly hurt. ' it is understood that rouble is : one of the results of theirecent Democratic gubernatorial priiAry in which Carmack was defeated Carmack, since he had been editoif of The Tennesseean, had been quite caustic in criticising what he called the Democratic machine, and had several editorials about Col. Cooper. Within the past few days, it is said, Col. Cooper notified Carmack that these editorial criticisms must cease. Monday morning another editorial refI erence to Col. Cooper appeared in the i Tennesseean, and this is supposed to i have been the immediate cause of the trouble. As soon as Carmack fell Col. Cooper put his arm around Robin Cooper and both walked a few feet down Seventh avenue to Dr. R. G. Fort's office, where the slight wound in Robin's shoulder was examined and treated. An ambulance carried the body of Mr. Carmack to an undertaking establishment. His pistol was lying at his side with two of the chambers empty ’ when the body was picked up. Robin Cooper is a practicing attorney, 27 years old and single. GOTHAM POSTMASTER SHOT. ■ ... Wounded by Eccentric Stenographer, Who Then Commits Suicide. New Yorii. —Edward M. Morgan, ; postmaster of New York city, was woflnded in the abdomen Monday morning by a bullet fired by E. H. B. Mackay, an eccentric English stenographer, who then committed suicide. Mr. Morgan probably owes his life to the quick wit and bravery of his 14-year-old daughter Dorothy, who saw Mackay draw his revolver and struck it with her hand. Thia deflected the bullet, otherwise the poAnaster would have been fatally wounded. An investigation of th£ life and record of Mackay reveals! that he was of a morbid nature an<| a former inmate of an asylum in Worcester, Mass. That his act was premeditated is made certain by a letter he left, but aside from a fancied grievance against Mr. Morgan and the post-office authorities concerning the handling of his mail, nothing has come to light to indicate why he should have sought to murder the postmaster. His clothing when searched gave up between thirty and forty smokeless cartridges, a heavy slungshot, a knife with a four-inch blade and a clasp knife. MAY MAKE ROOT SENATOR. New York Leaders Thought to Have Agreed with President. Washington.—lt is the general opin- | ion in Washington that as a result of j a long conference at the White House | Monday betw’een President Roosevelt, I James Wadsworth, Jr., speaker of the New York state assembly, and William L. Ward, Republican national committeeman and one of the fore- . most leaders in New York state politics, the man who will be supported by them next January as the candidate before the New York legislature to succeed Thomas C. Platt on March 4, 1909, as United States senator from New York, will be Elihu Root of ClinI ton, now secretary of state. Logansport Man a Suicide.

Denver, Col. —A woman giving her name as Mrs. H. C. Cones Monday afternoon compelled Mrs. Genevieve Chandler Phipps, divorced wife of Lav_ence Phipps, the Pittsburg millionaire, to take her in her automobile to a bank for the purpose of getting SIO,OOO that she demanded of Mrs. Phipps on pain of being blown to i pieces with dynamite. At the bank ■ Mrs. Cones was overpowered by special officers and placed under arrest. i She talked incoherently to the police and is thought to be insane. Two Fatally Injured in Fire. Lead, S. D.—A fire in the resort of Annie Woods, at noon Monday, resulted in the fatal injury of two persons, and six others received injuries more or less dangerous. The fire, which is believed to have been started by cigarettes, occurred while all the inmates were asleep. Another Dry Ohio County. Columbus, O. —Portage county Monday voted dry by 1.200 in a local option election. Twenty-nine saloons were put out.

' MILLIONAIRE IS FOUND ~ WORKING IN A MINE OIL OPERATOR HELD UNDER ARMED GUARD RESCUED BY WIFE LEADING POSSE. Houston, Tex.—After five months, during which it was generally believed that J. E. Webb, the millionaire oil operator, had been swallowed up by the sea, he lias been found by his family and has returned home. Private detectives have ascertained that the man was drugged in Houston, carried to a small place near St. Louis, and held there under an armed guard for a long period of time. He escaped, but all the time that had intervened between his abduction and his return to his former self was a blank, and, not knowing what had happened, ( feared to return. He found employ- ! J'-ijjiH i~ i ।jfSrit ^4 /A i * ■ML i i - ~~ He Was Kept a Prisoner Under Guard, ment in a mine in Joplin. Mo., where he wielded a shovel and held a drill as a common workman for weeks. Recently he was located by the owner of the adjacent mine, J. H. Putnam and when Mrs. Webb was notified she headed a posse of Texans and rescued her husband from his peculiar position and has now returned with i him to Houston. | To cover their tracks the conspira- , tors are said to have carried his clothes, containing his valuables, to Galveston, and left them in a bathhouse, where they were found. Affidavits were secured from the boy, who was supposed to have sold the bath ticket, and from a young woman who believed she had seen Webb in the surf, to support the contention of deatli by drowning. An attempt was made to collect his life insurance held in the New York Life Insurance Company, but payment was refused and Mrs. Webb offered a reward of $5,000 for information leading to the discovery of her husband or his body. Webb declared that he does not remember a thing that happened after he drove to Houston on the night of June 19 last until he found himself on the public road near Joplin. Mo. ACTS LIKE A MAD MAN. Hu ,n Being, Half Animal, Refuses to Wear Any Clothes. i Menominee, Mich.—Officials at the Menominee county poor house are up against a strange proposition. With one man who is really half man and half animal on their hands another character of the same kind has been thrust upon them. The first character was brought to the poor house years ago. His name : is James Eagen and he was born in ; Marinette county. The man has no ■ mind at all. He refuses to wear i clothes and his body is almost covered i with long hair. He eats from the floor ; of his dwelling like an animal, can ! not say a word and the only sound he makes is a whimper like an animal. The authorities long ago gave up the idea of trying to clothe him as he would tear the clothes off of himself a moment after they had been put on. He does not know his own mother and recognizes only the keeper w’ho brings him his food. The second character whom the authorities now’ have on their hands is Edward Slmeneau, who was at one time a bright-minded little boy in the public schools of the city, but who l now refuses to say a word, refuses to keep clothes on himself and, like Eagen, eats and acts in all ways like an animal. At an early age his brain began to soften and at 16 years of age he had no intelligence at all. His condition has grown worse and separate quarters will have to be given ' him. Tied Farmer in a Sack. New York. —Because he was scolded for letting the hogs wander in the corn, Philip Moore, a farm hand, near Cranbury, N. J-, knocked his employer, Henry Riggs, unconscious, tied him hand and foot and put him in a bag, which he flung in a far corner of the field. The fellow then left the place. Riggs wormed his way out of the bag and severed the ropes that bound i him on the blade of a hay cutter. He ! fell in a faint at the feet of his wife. It is said his condition is serious. । Moore was caught on the road and : I jailed. Real Curiosity. Gunner —Come up to my office, old man. I want to show you a wonderfu. curiosity.

Hendricks was electhJ'xLgoyernor on ticket ami ’ maul received the 1 electoral vote of the state for the Re- । publican national ticket Indiana has given a plurality to the Republican candidate for president, William H. Taft, and elected the Democratic candidate for governor, Thomas B. Marshall being the winner. According to the latest estimate Mr. Taft received a plurality of about 15,000 and Mr. Marshall was victorious over James E. Watspn, Republican candidate, by about 8,000. The congressional representation from this state probably will be seven democrats and six Republicans. The latest returns credit the Democrats with six and the Republicans with five Thomas Marshall. members, with two districts in doubt, the Fifth and Seventh, with the ’ chances favoring the Democratic candidates. The legislature was in doubt. Marion county, with its 12 members of the legislature, went heavily Democratic for the county ticket and carried down with it the Republican legislative candidates and possibly Congressman Jesse Overstreet, one of the Republican leaders, who has been looking after the election of state legislators, conceded that the law-making body is very close, but he adhered to the opinion that the lead the Republicans have in the 17 hold-over senators would save it to the Republicans on joint ballot and insure the re-election of । Senator James A. Hemenway. Among the things ascribed by the Republican leaders for the defeat of Mr. Watson, the probable loss of the legislature, possible defeat of Congressman Overstreet, and the election of a Democratic county ticket, are the liquor question and the labor vote. The Republican managers expected Taft to carry Marion county by at least 3,000 plurality, but returns from nearly all the precincts show that the difference between him and Bryan will be only a few hundred votes, and it is by no means certain that Taft has carried the county at all. There was a great deal of scratching in all the precincts and in many of the counties the count of the vote will not be completed for some time. Unless there is a slump from the Republican vote in congressional districts from local causes, there will probably : be little change in the Indiana delegation. Noisy Competition. An erening paper in Paris has hit upon a very ingenious and novel advertisement. Every evening it sends member? of its staff to ascertain which nr?ws seller shouts the loudest. The possessor of the strongest lungs is given a week's holiday in the country, all expenses being paid, and in ' the way of pocket money the editor . sends him a number of papers free, which ha offers for sale. The effect । of this competition is astounding From the moment the paper appears > the whole town resounds with its , name. , Drummers in Pairs. [ “Yonder comes another pair of ’em,” . said the hotel clerk, nodding toward two drummers entering the lobby. “It's getting to be a great act among [ traveling men of late to move over the country in pairs. Those two fellows there always come together. They're in entirely different lines of i business, too. They claim they can ■ save money by traveling together, not only on theii hotel bills but in other ’ ways, and that the scheme has divers I and sundry other advantages.”—Cleve- ; land Plain Dealer. , Gas Bag Athletes.
