SYNOPSIS. The Escapade opens, not in the romance preceding the marriage of Ellen Slocum, a Puritan miss, and Lord Carrington of England, but in their life after settling in England. The scone is placed, Just foliowing the revolution, in Carrington castle in England. The Carringtons, after a house party, engaged in a family tilt, caused by jealousy. Lady Carrington agreed to cut cards with Lord Stratli•gate, whose attentions to Ellen had become a sore point with Carrington. The Joss of SIOO,OOO failed to perturb her, and .her husband then cut for his wife’s I. O. «jj? nd ‘‘J B honor, Carrington winning. 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 ner chum Deborah, an American girl, met Lord Strathgate at two a. m., he 1 t 0 see them safely away. He I _ to take her to his castle, but ■■’■'^^^^him stunned in the road when riage met with an accident. She "hbie then struck out for PortsI where she intended to sail for ■ i L Hearing news of Ellen’s flight, Carrington and Seton set out in pursuit. Seton rented a fast vessel and rstarted in pursuit. Strathgate, bleeding from fall, dashed on to Portsmouth, for ’which Carrington, Ellen and Seton were .also headed by different routes. Strathgate arrived in Portsmouth in advance 1 «f the others, finding that Ellen’s ship , nad sailed before her. Strathgate and Carrington each hired a small yacht to ’ pursue the wrong vessel, upon which 1 •each supposed Ellen had sailed. Seton overtook the fugitives near Portsmouth, ■but his craft ran aground, just as capture . •was imminent. CHAPTER Xlll.—Continued. For perhaps an hour the three ves- ' seis—the ship and the two small *boats —held on, every moment bring- 1 ing the little chasers nearer their ' great quarry. The Flying Star was ' making no especial effort at speed. Her royals were not yet set. She !

"was proceeding on her voyage rather • leisurely, in fact, and the others were in high hope, Carrington, especially. He thought that he at last had Strathgate where he could not escape, and If Ellen and Deborah were on that «hip, they could not get away, either. Into this peaceful nautical passage .at arms, suddenly a new factor was introduced. That, of course, was Ellen’s boat. Sheltered by the island neither Strathgate nor Carrington had noticed it until it suddenly shot into view. Now Ellen had a better wind than any of the other three. Ou .a broad reach she came down on the big ship, as a sailor would phrase it, 'hand over fist. Her little boat was heeled over until the lee gunwale was ^awash and danced over the waves at a terrific pace. Carrington saw the boat first. The reckless way in which she was being sailed caught his eye. It was too .far for him to distinguish who sailed it, but he could tell that one of them was woman. Something made him believe that it might be his wife. He gave the tiller to Haight, went up forward and stared hard. He would have given anything for a glass but there was nothing of that kind in the fisherman’s boat and he had to trust to his unaided eyesight. The longer he looked the more sure he became that it was Ellen. His first impulse -was to alter his course and head directly for her cutter, but he realized the moment he conceived the design that he could never intercept her, that his only chance was to overhaul the ship for which she was evidently making. He would thus lose no distance. If she did not intend to try to board the ship he could chase her afterward. The sailors on Strathgate’s' boat evidently pointed out the situation to him just as it had presented itself to Carrington, so all three held on. Ellen had the shortest distance to sail, and a free wind, while the ship and the other two boats had a hard •beat before them. There was nothing Carrington could do in fact but hold his course, yet with what a fever of impatience he continued his steady beat to and fro across the harbor. The only satisfaction he got was that with every tack he gained perceptibly on Strathgate. Indeed the boats passed each other close enough for conversation, but Strathgate had nothing to say to Carrington and Carrington controlled himself waiting for a convenient opportunity to express himself fully and unequivocally. Both of them, moreover, were engrossed in the other boat. As the boats converged upon the ship, there . was no doubt in Carrington’s mind, । or in Strathgate’s, as to the identity •of its passengers. The wind was get- ; ting stronger as they drew farther out into the open channel and the rate at which they were drawing nearer to the ship grew correspondingly slower. Carrington gritted his teeth in his vexation. Still he held on. It was such a race as he had never sailed before. He held on although he knew that if the : "wind increased, his case was a hope- ! less one; held on, although he saw ; Ellen’s boat in a few moments would : intercept the ship; held on, when he ■ saw that boat disappear on the lee . side of the ship; held on when he { saw the ship thrown into the wind I to make a half board so that her way was practically checked; held on when two figures appeared upon the deck of the ship, and one, a boyish looking youth, walked over to the weather gangway and stood in full view of the approaching cutters, waved a hand, lifted a cap disdainfully and then disappeared; held on when he saw the boat which the two had abandoned trailing astern at the end of a long line. It was my lord's nature to hold on •doggedly so long as there was the & faintest possibility of success and be--w yond. And he kept up the chase of the big ship even though she suddenly y covered with light canvas an’. catching the full force of the breeze greatly accelerated her motion He held on even though a slant of the wind brought the breeze over the quarter of the big ship as she bore away on ■ her course to the eastward Carrington marked that with sulim sur-'

prise. The ship was not going to America apparently. But it was evident, even to the most sanguine mind, that the game was up. Strathgate’s boat was suddenly put about. The earl had abandoned the chase and was going back to harbor. Carrington was not so easily daunted, or perhaps he was more blind to the possibilities, for he strove to persuade the boatmen to continue the chase. He would have sailed to France, or to America, or to the end of the world, in whatsoever boat he was on so long as it would float. But the boatmen were not so minded. They were not provisioned for such a cruise nor prepared for it. Not even the incentive of unlimited financial rewards with which Carrington strove to dazzle them could make them agree to continue the pursuit. They were clamorous for putting back to Portsmouth, seeing plainly that they had failed. It was only the personal authority of Carrington’s rank and station which kept them from summarily dispossessing him from the helm. They were not quite ready for that when Strathgate’s boat came rushing down toward them. It was Carrington’s opportunity. Balked in his chase of his wife, he determined to wreak his vengeance upon the earl. As the boat drew close to his bows, by a sudden sweep of the helm he sent his own heavier cutter crashing fair into it. The force with which he struck the other boat caused Strathgate's smaller vessel to hang on

the bows of Carrington’s boat. There was no loss of life, for Strathgate, scarcely worse for the disaster, followed by Cooper and the lad, scrambled aboard Haight’s cutter. White with passion Strathgate rushed aft, snaking his fist at Carrington, who sat laughing bitterly in the stern sheets. At Strathgate's back were Cooper, furious over the deliberate wrecking of his boat, and the boy eager to join in the fray. “By heaven!” cried Strathgate, fiercely, “what did you mean by that?” “I should think that my meaning was obvious even to you,” says my lord, indifferently, although he was seething with anger to see his adversary within his reach. “I don’t know you, sir,” cried Cooper, shaking his fist, “but you sunk my boat. You done it deliberately. It’ll cost you a matter of £50.” “ ’Tis cheap at the price,” answered Carrington. “Don’t worry, my man. Just pipe down,” he continued, as Cooper opened his mouth to expostulate. “I'm Lord Carrington. You shall be paid for your boat and something for your trouble.” “Payment is not enough to compensate me, Carrington,” cried Strathgate, furiously. “No,” returned Carrington, “there's nothing that I might offer you that would pay you for what you’ve done, you dastard!” “What do you mean?” "You know very well what I mean, although I confess I have done some wrong to your powers of fascination,” returned Carrington. "And what, pray, may be the explanation of that statement?” queried Strathgate. “I thought that you had run away with my wife; I thought so yesterday morning, that is; but now I see that she fled from you as well as from me.” “It’s a He!” cried Strathgate. Both men were now so worked up and so blinded with passion that they

did not care for the open-mouthed, open-eared audience which crowded around them. “She did go with me," continued the runaway. “It looks like it this morning. If she went with you, how did she come to be on yonder ship while you were here?” Strathgate laughed evilly. “If you must know it, my lord, your wife fled in my company.” “Damn you!” cried Carrington. But Strathgate went on without heeding. “An accident, a broken coach wheel stopped our journey. I rode on ahead ■ to make arrangements for our passage > to some happier land on yonder ship. Lady Ellen elected to go by water.” : “I don’t believe a word of it,” re- ; turned Carrington. “If it were true,” - asked my lord again, “I ask you [ why you were not on the ship?” *'l overslept myself this morning, with the consequences which you see.” • "You haven’t seen the end of those > consequences, my Lord Strathgate,” j continued Carrington. » “No?” I “Not by any means. We’ll settle ! the question as to which of us is to : live—” "And have Lady Ellen?” Interrupti ed Strathgate. i Carrington whipped out his pistol. I “Another word like that and I’ll s kill you without giving you a chance > for defense.” • “You threatened to murder me on the wharf an hour or so ago,” and 1 Strathgate, equably. “What prevents ■ you from doing it now?” “A thing of which you know nothing,” answered Carrington. “And what is that, pray?” "A sense of honor.” ; “Indeed,” answered the earl, “I had understood that your honor was in Lady Ellen’s keeping.” i The sweat stood out on Carrington’s s face. He locked his jaws until the ■ muscles rose like whipcords. He was i under the strongest possible con- • straint a man may put upon himself, i “My honor is in her ladyship's keep- [ ing.” he said slowly at last, “and I am i confident that she will never put it at

the hazard of a blackguard like yourself.” This time it was Strathgate who gave way. “You have another pistol at your belt. Give it to me. Take you one end of this boat and I the other. We’ll see then who has the right to live and love.” “I dishonor myself,” said Carrington, rising and abandoning the tiller, which was instantly grasped by one of the crew, “by meeting you in this way, but I’ll do it. Here!” He extended one of the pistols. "I would prefer a choice,” said Strathgate, not extending his arm to take it. “As you will,” returned Carrington, extending both of them to him. "You honor me in doubting my good faith,” he remarked as Strathgate took one of the pistols. “Haight.” said Carrington, “take your station amidship, out of range, and count three. There shall be no firing detne by either of us until after the word ‘three.’ Are you agreed, Lord Strathgate?” "Entirely,” returned the other, stepping forward. But Master Haight did not propose to have his vessel turned into a field of honor, which would be a field of blood. He interposed a vigorous objection. "Gentlemen,” he began, “I’ll have no murder done here.” “There shall be none,” said Carrington. “ ’Tis a fair duel with each man a chance for his life.” “I don’t know about that, my masters,” returned the sailor, “but I say this: This boat's mine, I'm the cap- | tain of it, and I’ll have no fightin’ I aboard. Savin’ yer honors’ graces, it can’t be done. You agi^e with me, Cooper? You, Jack? You, Ned?” “Ay, ay,” returned the others, closing about Haight and interposing between the would-be combatants.

I Meas ffmmm Paris | 1a ii I|® ! / Kill WiiMw At the left is a princess costume of chocolate brown diagonal cheviot. 1 The fronts and back of the blouse are cut tn one piece, with the little Japanese | I sleeves, under which are long, tight sleeves of the material. The plastron is i cut in one piece, with the narrow tabller giving the princess effect. The square yoke is of tucked tulle, matching the gown, and is bordered on each side with straps of brown satin, ornamented witli gold or passementerie buttons. The collar and frill are of lace, the little cravat of green satin. The । girdle is of the material and of satin ornamented with the buttons. The skirt has a hip yoke of the material, but is otherwise untrimmed. The other gown is of-Nile green silk voile. The corsage is shirred at the । shoulders, the fronts are prettily draped and crossed and ornamented with motifs of passementerie with pendants. The edges are finished with bias bands of black satin, of which the girdle is also made. The little waistcoat is of tulle embroidery with cord; the chemisette is of tulle and lace. The sleeves are shirred and finished with deep cuffs edged with the satin and with wrist ruffles of lace. The skirt with raised waist-line is slightly gathered at the top and is finished at the bottom with a flounce of black satin, which extends upward in front, forming a point. From the girdle hang two long ends of the satin, finished with a motif of passementerie and tassels.

BACK TO THE APRON. Old Styles Have to Call in the Modern Fashions. Still the backward trend toward old fashions keeps up. Old Dresden silks, s corkscrew curls and real directoire effects have come in. Now it is the apron that meets with the approval of adaptable fashion. There is no reason why the apron should be resurrected. But what does fashion care for reason, or utility, or ordinary common sense? However, the apron is decorative, if not exactly useful outside the kitchen. Its use may grow until few women are without embroidered collections of aprons. One thing sure, aprons are worn now over the chafing dish, and that means they are fast becoming a necessary part of the careful woman’s wardrobe. It : is hard to picture a society woman with an apron, but the thing no longer stands merely as a badge of service. In the days of o*r grandmothers, aprons were as decorative as they were useful, and the nfiire expensive the more fashionable at present. A woman clever with the needle can make an apron a real addition to her household attire, even though the rule just now is to design aprons little larger than a good sized patch. Damask is the favorite material. PARISIAN CHAPEAU. Large Toque of Mink, with Bow of Brown Velvet. New Way with a Ruff. Women are quite used by this time to the tight plaited ruff that fits up against the neck. They have seen it ; I and worn it in all manner of materi- ! I als. The new thing, however, is to [ have from three to six inch close | wired plaiting of filet net lace put into the coat. This is used on directoire ; coats that have no collars. The ruff ■is basted in around the neck and । down the front, and ends at the first I button. It is quite effective. American Beauty Waistcoat. If you want to liven up a black coat suit, put in a waistcoat of American beauty satin or velvet. This is a . smart touch and shows that you are j quite in with the fashions. It may be j fastened down center with black velvet or cut jet buttons. Putting White Clothes Away. A housewife should be careful to have all the starch washed out of clothes before they are put away for the winter. They should be rough dry, and. if possible, protected by sheets of dark blue paper.

SCARFS GIRLS MAY MAKE. Costume Accessories That Are Easily Put Together. Girls who sew neatly may profitably employ that talent by making for themselves or their relatives a collection of scarfs of from two to four yards in length, their texture and finish being governed by the costume with which they are to be worn. Such accessories, designed to accompany ; the plain tailor made skirt and coat suits used for school and shopping, are usually of silk cashmere, which comes in all the fashionable shades. । This material is so wide that it may ■ be divided into lengths of one and a i half yards each, the two widths^being joined crosswise with a strip of selfcolored ribbon. The sides are finished with a blind-stitched narrow hem, they | are rolled against a baby ribbon bor- I dering on the right side of the mate- 1 rial or they are featherstitched with silk floss of a contrasting shade. Black silk scarfs are most effective as well as youthful looking when the ends are embroidered in bright colors or in the pastel blues and greens. Prettiest of all are those having appliqued bands of satin ribbon arranged in imitation of Roman stripes and terminating with long fringe which repeats the various shades of green, maize, pink and blue employed in the ribbon bordering. A White Closet. It was a sensible woman who had the large closet under the hall stairs papered in white and the door covered ; with white oilcloth. On the wall were i hung black iron dress hooks, which : could easily be found and the most convenient article in it was an electric light bulb on a long cord, which , could be taken in hand when looking tor boxes packed und^r the lower stair steps. These boxes were all white, the nature of the contents be- ! ing shown by a printed label across one end in black letters. Over the door was hung an old portiere which was hidden by the closet door, but it kept out considerable dust. The shelves were painted white and the books that were stored away were ail wrapped neatly in white paper and packed in boxes. Fur-Trimmed Suits. Handsome cloth sufts will be trimmed with fur. Bands of it will be ' j put on the skirt and collars, cuffs and i waist-coats made of It to go with the i coat. This is good news to the woman < who has odd pieces of fur or garments ' that are out of fashion. She can ui>e them upon a cloth gown. One directoire suit of dull ecru broadcloth has a four-inch band of brown fur around the skirt, and the coat has a narrow, long waistcoat of it. The wide revers I are of brown satin, and the triple cuffs are of the satin, edged with a two-inch band of fur. The hat that goes with this is an immense flat sailor of ecru satin with an Alastian bow of brown fur across the sides. Reindeer Coats. Furriers have brought out long coats of reindeer skin. These are considered quite handsome and very smart. They are lined with brocade in fawn shade. Metal buttons are used to fasten them. They are worn for the automobile, for the street and [ for all manner of afternoon affairs l over good-looking blouse suits.

World’s Temperance Sunday Sunday School Leuson for Nov. 29, ISOS Spacially Arranged for This Taper LESSON TEXT.—lsaiah 28:1-13. Memory verse, 11. GOLDEN TEXT.—“I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection.”—! Cor. 9.27. Comment and Suggestive Thought. In order to understand this great prophecy of Isaiah, our lesson for to day, we must first have a vivid realiza- j tion of — The Historical Situation. —Read 2 ! Kings 17:1-23; 18:1-10; Chron. 29, 30. It is about 725 B. C. Isaiah, the royal prophet, was in Jerusalem, the capital of Judah. The good King Hezekiah, the rulers and leaders of the state were his audience. The nations were going astray, they were worldly, drunken, selfish, cruel, luxurious, oppressing the poor, neglecting religion, forgetting God. From the northwest were coming great hordes of Assyrian soldiers devastating everything on their way. i They had reached the northern kingdom of which Samaria was the capital. Like an overwhelming scourge these semi-savage armies were overrunning the country with all wanton crimes and cruelties, destroying everything good. They were sweeping away cities and villages, farms, cattle, orchards—everything. The prdj?het sees them drifting, as in the rapids of Niagara, swiftly toward destruction. He sees the storm-clouds on the horizon threatening tempests and lightning blasts and destruction. \\ ithin three or four years Samaria, • the capital, was captured, and the northern kingdom swept out of exist-1 ence by the Assyrians. But the people of Jerusalem felt j comparatively safe, for their city was a mighty fortress, a very Gibraltar, ' rarely captured, and probably it never i could be captured if the people within were brave, united and true. The prophet, pointing to the north- ■ ern kingdom, warns his own people ; that nothing could save them if they continued to sin. “Repent, or that I overwhelming scourge will sweep over j Judea and Jerusalem in its devastating course.” V. 1. “Woe.” Not a wish or a | prayer for woe, but a warning that I woe was coming. "To the crown of I pride.” The capital, so called, be- j cause it crowned the hill, or because : its battleinented walls resembled a ' crown. “To (better ‘of’) the drunk- i ards of Ephraim,” ptr for the whole I kingdom, because Ephraim was the | leading tribe. “Whose glorious beauty.” [ The "glorious beauty” of Samaria was a beauty of magnificent luxury. “Sum- j mer” and "winter houses,” distinct i each from the other (Amos 3:15); I "ivory palaces" (1 Kings 22:39; Amos 3:15); a wealth of “gardens, vineyards, fig-orchards and olive yards” | (Amos I:!)); residences of "hewn stone” (Amos 5:11); feasts enlivened I with "the melody of viols” (Amos 5:23); "beds of ivory” (Amos 6:4); i “wine in bowls” (Amos 6:6); “chief , ointments” (Amos 6:6) constituted a total of luxurious refinement beyond • which few nations had proceeded at the time.—Rawlinson. “Is a fading * flower.” It was a kind of beauty that was liable to fade. It had nothing of the riches that endure. V. 2. “The Lord hath a mighty and strong one.” The Lord would use the Assyrian power, "as a tempest of hail, and a destroying storm” to punish the wickedness which was injuring the people far more than the Assyrian hordes could their outward prosperity. V. 4. “As the hasty fruit.” R. V., “the first ripe fig,” swiftly decaying or destroyed by the birds. V. 5. Turning from this “crown of pride" and “fading flow’er” and “decaying fruit” of sin, the prophet points to the only true “crown of glory and . . . diadem of beauty, the Lord of hosts.” V. 6. For he would bring to them the “spirit of judgment,” justice, righteousness, and turn back “the battle At the gate,” defeating and scattering their enemies. V. 7. Then he shows one source of | their woes, “erred through wine . . . out of the way . . . through strong drink,” therefore “they err in vision, they stumble in judgment.” The Jerusalem drinkers indignantly ask: V. 9. “Whom shall he teach knowledge?” What right has Isaiah to talk to us thus? Are we babies just weaned from the milk? Are we mere school children to be chided and warned in this way? V. 10. “For precept must be upon precept.” The R. V. gives the true meaning: “For it is precept upon precept.” The prophet is telling the ■ same story all the time, continually re- I peating, everywhere, all the time, in season, out of season, the same old ; warning. The prophet answers; “This seems monotonous to you, but you will have another kind of monotony if you do | not give heed to my words.” “For with stammering lips.” Better as R. V., “For by men of strange lips, and with another tongue,” (viz., that of the Assyrian hordes) "will he speak to this people (11) to whom he said. This is the rest . . . this is the refreshing.” God had pointed out to them how they might have rest and prosperity, “yet they would not hear (12).” 13. Therefore by the Assyrian invasion. they should find “precept upon precept,” etc., a monotonous teaching by afflictions and sorrows, till “they . . . fall backward, and be broken,” as came to pass in after years. “The bad effect of alcohol on per sons performing muscular work is < well known. The evidence is over whelming that alcohol in small amounts has a most harmful effect on voluntary muscular work." —Victor Horsley, M. D., F. R. S. “Every dose of alcohol, even the most moderate, diminishes strength. All that man asserts of the strengthening effects of alcohol is a delusion The well-known poor man's glass dur ing working hours Is beyond question Injurious. Every penny which the i workman spends for alcoholic drinks is not only wasted but employed for a destructive purpose."—Adolf Fit k, M. D., Professor of Phy si logy, t nl- I ve r sity et Wurzburg.

Agnes Had Only Followed in the Footsteps of Her Mother. Even if there had not been kernels of rice on her hat and a glad light of love in her eye any bachelor could have told that she was a bride. And tte manner in which she spoke to her husband showed they had not been married long. A man in the passing crowd spied the couple, and rushed over to greet the bride. “Well, well, Agnes,” he cried, extending his hand, “you don’t mean to say that you’re married?” “Why—why, yes,” the girl stammered, vivid color mounting to her cheeks, as she tried to defend her novel situation. “You —you know, it runs in the family. Mother was married, too.” ' Always Exciting. “I visited E. R. Thomas and found him doing well after his motor accident,” said a member of the Automobile Club of America.

After one suffers from acid dyspepsia, sour stomach, for months and then finds the remedy is in getting the right kind of food it is something to speak out about. A N.

We were unable to retain much of anything we ate. “After suffering in this way for so long 1 decided to consult a specialist in stomach diseases. Instead of prescribing drugs, he put us both on Grape-Nuts and we began to improve immediately. “It was the key to a new life. I found we had been eating too much heavy food which we could net digest. In a few weeks after commencing Grape-Nuts I was able to do my housework. I wake in the morning with a clear head and feel rested and have no sour stomach.
