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 scene is placed, just following 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 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. 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 safely away. He attempted to take her to his castle, but she left him stunned in the road when the carriage met with an accident. She ftnd Debbie then struck out for Ports- __ mouth, where she intended to sail for V America. Hearings news of Eden's flight, F Lords Carrington and Seton set out in pursuit. Seton rented a fast vessel and started 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 of the others, finding that Ellen’s ship had sailed before her. Strathgate ’ and

Carrington each hired a small yacht to pursue the wrong vessel, upon which each supposed Ellen had sailed. Seton overtook the fugitives near Portsmouth, but his craft ran aground, just as capture was imminent. Ellen won the chase by boarding American vessel and foiling her pursuers—Strathgate, Seton and Carrington. Carrington and Strathgate, thrown together by former’s wrecking of latter’s vessel, engaged in an impromptu duel, neither being hurt. CHAPTER XlV.—Continued. This was an embarrassing question, but Sir Charles was saved the necessity of answering, for the midshipman came running to the quarterdeck once more and saluted. “Well?” said the officer to the expectant boy. “Admiral Kephard's compliments to you, sir, and he begs you will escort Captain Seton to his cabin ot once.” “You're in luck, captain,” returned the officer, “the admiral is not always so easy of access. Will you step this way, sir?” “After you, sir,” said Sir Charles, bowing and following the lieutenant until he was ushered past the marine ordeily on duty and into the admiral’s cabin. The £ dmiral was just completing his toilet. His body servant was helping him on with his coat. He had evidently just had a bath to refresh him after the fatigues of his journey. “Oh, Seton,” he cried as the other came in, “glad to see you, man. Sit down. John,” —to the servant — “fetch out a decanter of navy sherry. Whisky, Seton, whisky, although perhaps you army men affect port.” “I guess we can ioJcw the navy’s Lad in something stronger than port,” laughed Sir Charles. “What brought you here, Sir Charles?” continued the admiral as he poured out a liberal glassful for Seton and another for himself. “I left you at Carrington. But, no, I remember you rode away before I did, just after my lord. Have you come on any

trace of fugitives?” “Admiral,” said Sir Charles, gravely, “I know where they are.” “And that damned lubberly hound, Strathgate, is he —” “He isn’t with them. They gave him the slip.” “You don't say? Good!” laughed the admiral. “How was that?” Seton rapidly detailed the circumstances as he had deduced them. “Well done, that woman has spirit enough,” continued the old soldier, “to command a frigate. You will never convince me that she’s taken up with a man of Strathgate’s caliber.” “She went away with him, though,” said Seton thoughtfully. “Ay ay, but she knows no more of the world than a baby. She simply made use of his proffered assistance to escape from an intolerable situation. You take me, Seton?” “I do, admiral, and I confess I hardly blame her. How Carrington could tolerate Lady Cecily for a moment beside that splendid woman—” “To say nothing of that other splendid woman, Mistress Deborah Slocum, eh, Seton?” “I admit, admiral —” “Even ‘Saints’ Rest’ becomes heavenly when looked at by the aid of such a pair of black eyes? And the la3y, boy?*’ “I confess, sir,” answered Seton, somewhat abashed by the frank questioning of the old man, “that I have some reason to believe, in short —” “In short, my boy, you’ve been chasing her all night, have you?” “You're right, sir.” "And what now?” “I told you, admiral, that I knew where they were.” “Well, where are they? Out with it, lad. Disclose your information and come to the point. All these side issues are unworthy of a soldier,” laughed the old seaman, well knowing that for most of them he was responsible. “They’re on a merchant ship bound up the channel and going fast when I saw them last.” “What? - ” cried the admiral. “Give me the particulars.” Sir Charles rapidly ran over the scene of the morning. The old admiral threw back his head and laughed. “And she outwitted you all, shook Strathgate off the track, led you ashore, watched Carrington and Strathgate fight it out under her very eyes and got clean away?” “She hasn’t got away yet, admiral.” “What mean you?” "I came here to make a proposition to you.” "A proposition to me? ' “Yes.” "You have a fast ship at your command, I take it.” “Do you mean the Britannia?” said /

the admiral, mentioning his flagship. “I do.” “Os course she’s fast. The admiralty know me. I wouldn't take a slow ship.” “Is she as fast, as that merchantman, do you think?” “Why, my boy, there isn't a merchant ship on the seas that she could- i n't overhaul in anything like a wind.” "Admiral,” said Sir Charles ingenuously, “I lay you a wager.” “What is that?” । “A hundred pounds that you can’t overtake that, merchant ship.” “What!” roared the admiral. “Me take out one of his majesty’s ships to । chase after a runaway wife and a foolish girl?” “I beg your pardon, admiral, if you : refer to Mistress Deborah Slocum. I must ask you to moderate your language,” protested Sir Charles, warmly, ' his face flushing. “Go to! go to!” laughed the ad- 1 miral. “I’m old enough to be your 1 father. But the idea of an admiral ।

. of the white taking a hundred gun ship-of-the-line out to chase a paltry merchantman so my boy, impossible!” , “But,” said Sir Charles, “the navy cannot afford to decline a bet, a wager , with its sister service. I'll lay you a thousand pounds, admiral, that you can’t do it.” “My lad,” said the admiral gently, . after a moment’s reflection, “no wag- ' ers are needed. I'll do it because I'm , fond of the girl and Carrington, too. L I can overhaul them before nightfall without doubt and I'll be glad to do it, , although just exactly what warrant I have for stopping an American ship , on the high seas and taking from her ‘ another man’s wife I can hardly say.” “I can help you in that, admiral. As to warrant, if you’ll bring to the other ship and give me a boat crew, I’ll go aboard the American and do ’ the rest. Mistress Deborah, lam sure, will come willingly.” ’ “Don’t be too sure of that,” returned the admiral, “don’t count upon a wom- ' an until she’s your own, a"d don’t « count too much upon her after that, as Carrington might say.” “Nevertheless, I think I speak by 1 the card,” said Sir Charles. ■ “Very well, you know best. Hav- ! ing been a bachelor all .my life, I know more about ships than women. ■ but hark ye, Setqn, this one thing. ’ Don’t you come back to the ship after ! I put you aboard that trader, with only Miss Deborah. The two have to come together, or go together, you understand?” “Yes, sir.” The admiral struck the bell on the table beside him. Instantly the marine orderly popped in the door. ( 1 ‘My compliments to the officer of the deck,” said the admiral to the ’ orderly, “and ask him to beg Captain Beatty to favor me with his presence ’ in the cabin.” “Yes, sir,” returned the orderly, saluting. ‘ A moment after—an incredibly short 1 time it seemed to Seton, who was unaware of the way in which an ad1 miral’s requests are obeyed—Captain Beatty, the officer mentionel, present- 1 1 ed himself before the admiral. “You wish to see me, admiral?” “Yes, Beatty. By the way, let me present to you Sir Charles Seton of the Sussex light infantry, captain in t his majesty's land forces. Seton, this is the Honorable Archibald Beatty, my flag captain. Beatty, will you get the Britannia under way at once?” “Yes, sir,” returned the captain. “Are the rest of the fleet to follow us?” “No,” answered the admiral, “sigi nal to the rest of them to disregard ! the movements of the commander-in- j chief. Then signal to the Renown foi i Lascelles to take command until we j I return.” I

“Very gotta, sir,” returned the captain. “And what course shall we lay?” “That which will get us inio the channel quickest, and then as due east as the wind will let us. I'll be on deck, however, before you’re ready for that.” “There are several boat parties ashore, admiral, do you wish me to wait for them?” “No, sir, you will weigh at once.” “Very good sir,” returned the captain, saluting and turning away. "And Beatty,” the admiral called after him. “a drop of navy sherry with me before you go.” “Thank you, admiral,” said Beatty. ! filling his glass. “I'll give you a toast, Sir Charles," said the admiral. “Yes,” returned the soldier. “A short cruise and the women at the end of it!” "I drink to that with all my heart!’ returned Sir Charles. “And I also,’” said Captain Beatty greatly mystified, “although I don’t understand exactly.” “We’re going to chase a Yankee merchant ship, Beatty, and take 8 couple of ladies in whom Sir Charles is interested off of it.” “A couple!” cried Beatty. “I’m only interested in one of them,' said Sir Charles warmly. “It’s a runaway sweetheart and a runaway ^vife, Beatty,” continued the admiral, “Lady’ Carrington and Mis tress Deborah Slocum.” “And which one is Sir Charles inter ested in?” asked the sailor, smiling. I “In Mistress Slocum, of course,' | laughed the admiral. “Now, captain,’ he continued, assuming his quarter deck manner, “I want you to get the

ship under way in the quickest pos sible time. Let's show this land lubber here what his mapesty's navy can do when it’s in dead earnest. Imagine there are a dozen Frenchmen out there, all boiling for a fight, and bear a hand!” “Ay, ay, sir,” said Beatty, saluting and withdrawing from the cabin. A moment later there came faintly through the bulkheads the shrill whistling of the boatswain and his mates, followed by a deep cry: “All hands up anchor!” CHAPTER XV. Captain Jeremiah Tuggles Is Insulted. It was a moment of splendid triumph for the heroine of this mad escapade when she drew under the lee of the great ship tremendously above her. Her eyes were as keen as Carrington’s. She had recognized, or divined, that the tall figure standing on the rail of the larger boat staring at her was her husband. She knew that in some way they had concluded that she would try to escape on the merchantman and that they were trying to catch that ship. She was experienced enough, also, to know that their efforts would be futile and their trouble in vain. There was only one possible contingency which could prevent the accomplishment of her desires now, and that would be the refusal of the captain of the ship to stop for her when she ran him down. Ellen had a well-filled purse and she hoped to persuade him with that. At any rate, she kept recklessly on, although the little boat came near to swamping and Deborah, between terror and disappointment, was in a state of collapse. Ellen boldly ran down under the lee of the big ship. By skillful handling she brought her boat within hailing distance of the merchantman. A man stepped on the rail to leeward and stared hard at her. “What ship is this?” asked Ellen. “The Flying Star of Boston.” Ellen’s heart sank. “I thought it was the New Eagle | of Philadelphia,” she cried. “She sailed yesterday.” “Where are you bound?” asked El- i len, fighting against the sinking of : heart caused by this news. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Faults of Friends. Don’t flatter yourselves that friendship authorizes you to say disagree- ' able things to your intimates. On | the contrary, the nearer you come into relation with a person, the more necessary do tact and courtesy become. Except in cases of necessity, which are rare, leave your friend to learn unpleasant truths from his enemies; they are ready enough to tell them.— Oliver Wendell Holmes.

RECIPE FOR REAL TROUBLE. Cheerfully Contributed to an Already Unhappy World. J rouble making is an older industry than the manufacture of steel. Cain, the trouble maker, got into action before Tubal Cain, the iron worker; and Eve got Adam into hot water long before the Boiler Makers’ union began business. There are three kinds of troubleimaginary, borrowed and real. Imaginary trouble consists of railroad accidents, earthquakes, fires, suicides, the poorhouse, death, and the grave, carefully mixed and taken after a late dinner, or a drop in the stock market. Borrowed trouble is the kind we get from our relatives. Its principal ingredients are visits, borrowed money, birthday presents, adviqe and expectations. But the real article is produced as follows: Put the sandals of endurance on your feet, take your life in your hands and follow by turn the How-to-Be-Happy Philosopher, the Preacher of Physical Culture and the Apostle of Diet. —Puck.

Miss Baxter, feeling the effects of a torrid afternoon in June, was attempting to arouse the interest of her languid class by giving, as she supposed, an interesting talk on the obelisk. After speaking for half an hour she found that her efforts were wasted. Feeling utterly provoked, she cried: "Every word that 1 nave said you have let in at one ear and o.ut of the other. You"—pointing to a gifi whom she noticed had been particularly inattentive throughout the entire lesson—“tell me, what is an obelisk?” The pupil, grasping the teacher’s last words, rose and promptly an- | swered: “An obelisk is something that goes In one ear and out the other."—Sucj cess Magazine. - An Opinion Confirmed. “That's the toughest piece of steak I ever struck,” said the man in the restaurant. “I guess you’re right, sir,” replied the waiter; “the man who had it before said the same thing!” One Thing That Will Live Forever, PETTIT'S EY E SALVE, first box sold in 1807, 100 years ago, sales increase yearly.
