Tlx* Escapade opens, not in the ro mance pieiodlng tno marriage of Ellen Sloeum, a Puritan miss, and Lord Car rington <>f lOaglanil, but in their life after settling in England. The Beetle is placed, just following the revolution, in Carring lon castle in England. The Carringtons, after a house party, engaged in a family tilt, caused by jealousy. The attentions of I,onl Carrington to I.ady Cecily and Lord Strathgate to Lady C'arrington com pelled the latter to vow that she would leave the castle. Preparing to (lee. 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 ac cident. She and Debbie then struck out for Portsmouth, where she intended to sail for America. Hearing news of Kllen's (light, Lords Carrington and Seton set out in pursuit. Seton rented a fast v< ssel and started in pursuit. Strathgate, bleeding from fall, dashed onto Ports mouth, for which Carrington, Ellen and Seton were also headed by different routes. Strathgate arrived in Portsmouth in advance of the others, finding that Kllen'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. Carrington ami Strathgate, thrown together by former's wrecking of hitter's vessel, engaged in an impromptu duel, neither being hurt. A war vessel, commanded by an admiral friend of Seton, then started out in pur suit of the women fugitives, Seton con fessing love for Debbie. Flagship Britan nia overtook the fugitives during the night. The two women escaped by again taking to the sea in a small boat. Lord Carrington Is ordered to sea with his ship but refuses togo until after meeting Strathgate in .a duel. They tight in the grounds of Lord Blytliedale's castle. Encounter is watched by Ellen and Deb bie who have reached land and are in hiding. CHAPTER XlX.—Continued. "Have you got everything ready, Dr. Nevinson?" asked tho earl. "Everything, my lord," replied the doctor, gravely. "I hope, however, that you gentlemen will give me little to do." Strathgate laughed again. "if it depends on me, doctor, you'll have nothing to do but certify to a death." "I didn't mean it that way, my lord," said the doctor, gravely. "But I do," asserted Strathgate, turning away. Every word of the conversation had been heard by Ellen and Deborah. The whole situation was now clear to them both. This was to be a duel. Carrington and Strathgate were to meet. Strathgate's deadly purpose was evident from his grim remark to the surgeon. Ellen could not doubt but that Carrington shared the same ruthless feeling to the full. He was coming to battle about her. Her heart leaped at first at the thought and then contracted like a lump of ice at the possibility of disaster and death which lay before the man she loved. Her first impulse was to rise, dash into the clearing and denounce Strath gate, but a second thought assured her of the folly of that purpose. Those men were bent on fighting. They would only fight the harder and more fiercely if she interfered. She would simply be removed from the scene of action and the duel would goon. The situation was an intolerable one whichever way she turned, what ever she did. That she should lie quiet in a thicket and watch her hus band fight for his life was unbearable. That she' should burst out and inter rupt them and then simply be removed and the battle be waged the more fiercely was also unendurable. Yet, she would have chosen the latter course had it not come across her mind like a flash of intuition, that her appearance at that juncture would probably greatly agitate her husband, and that his chance for life would be worse in that ho would be less cool than Strathgate. She had sense enough to see that Strathgate would welcome her arrival, and how easily he could turn it to his own advantage by claiming, in spite of any protest she might make, that she was there by her own contrivance and at Strath gate's request. She dug her feet into the ground and locked her teeth in anguish. The sweat stood out 011 her brow. But there was nothing to do but lie still and keep watch. It was Debbie who broke the silence by approaching her ear and whisper ing: "Lord Strathgate is going to fight a duel with Lord Carrington. Let us go out and stop it." "We can't," answered Ellen. " 'Tis impossible." "Aro you going to lie here and watch th<'in kill each other?" asked Deborah, to whom the situation did not present itself as it did to Ellen. "There's nothing else 1 can do," re turned Ellen. "Don't you see if they CAMERON COUNTY PRESS. THURSDAY NOVEMBER 26, 1908. were "here, they would simply take us away and continue the fight, and if we catne out now, it would appear as if we had been with Lord Strathgate. It would unsettle Bernard so—" "Oh!" said Deborah, turning to look closely at her wretched comrade. What she saw moved her to in stant pity. She drew closer to Ellen and reached her arm around the other's neck. "My poor girl!" she murmured, kissing her softly. "There's only one thing we can do, Debbie," whispered Ellen. "What's that?" "We can pray that no harm will come to my lord." Her under lip trembled piteously as she buried her face in Iter hands. It was a strange prayer—what strange prayers we make in hours of distress! —an appeal to God that one of the two men about to battle for life might bo spared. There was no thought of the necessary inference from the prayer, and in Ellen's distracted mind she did not. even think to pray that thc» duel itself might be stopped. She poured out her whole soul in an guished petition that Carrington, whom she loved, might come to no Rurt, and in that petition with less fervency, but with true Puritan zeal, Debbie unhesitatingly joined. What would Elder Brewster say, she thought, if he could see her now pray ing for one duelist, when both, in ac cordance with her iron creed, would be equally guilty?* The course of the prayers was broken by Blytliedale's voice. "Here they come!" 110 cried, a note of relief and pleasure in his speech. "Yonder." lie pointed to a carriage slowly mak ing its way across the drive. "How will they know how to get here?" "I have stationed men who will fetch them." "The carriage has stopped. Yes, here they are." Instantly, as Parkman, followed by Carrington, appeared on the scene, Blythedale lost his languor. Carring ton stopped at the edge of tho clear ing. Strathgate immediately turned and walked to the opposite side. Park man and Blythedale ceremoniously approached each other. All the punc tilios of such an occasion were most scrupulously regarded. The gentle men doffed their hats and bowed "Are You Going to Lie Here and Watch them Kill Each Other?" most profoundly. Then they chatted awhile in the gravest and most sol emn manner. "I suppose," said Blythedale, more because it was proper and customary than because he had the slightest idea that it could be brought about, "that no accommodation of this quarrel is possible?" "None, my lord," returned Park man. "Your principal, of course, is not disposed to apologize for the insult ing epithets he applied to mine," con tinued Blythedale. "It is so far out of the question," an swered Parkman, "that if he had a chance, he would repeat them with such added emphasis as reflection might enable him to give." "Very well," returned Blythedale. "And I am instructed by my princi pal," continued Parkman, ceremonious ly, "to say that no apology of any sort, if he should be pleased to make any, would be entertained by Lord Carring ton from Lord Strathgate." Blythedale laughed. "That goes without saying," he an swered, "but there's no need for us to get embroiled in the affair person ally, Parkman." The two were old acquaintances. "Certainly not, Blythedale. So we had better proceed to business. You've brought swords, I see." "A pair of my own. Andrew Ferrara steel. They have been used a great many times in little affairs of honor iike this, and there isn't a hair's breadth of difference between them. Still, you may have your choice." Parkman took the two swords and turned to Carrington. The latter ex amined them carefully, tested them, weighed them, and finally selected one. Parkman returned with the other, which he handed to Blythe dale. "1 suppose," said Blythedale, "there's nothing now but to let them go at it." "Nothing," answered Parkman. "You will give the word, Parkman, and we will both see fair play." "Very well," answered Parkman. "I take it we are to interpose the mo ment one or the other is wounded." "By no means," said Carrington, w'.o had drawn nearer and who hud heard this last suggestion. "It is my desire that you will not interfere so (•Note —Think Elder Brewster died a century before this time.) far as T am concerned nnnfl one or the other of us is—incapable of con tinuing the fight. Unless, of course, Lord Strathgate desires different ar rangements." "Blythedale," said Strathgate, sharp ly, "you may say that Lord Strathgate is entirely satisfied with any proposi tion which may be made." "Very well, gentlemen," said Blythe dale, much amazed at this very un usual interference of the principals in an affair of this kind. "You may take your positions. You will first take off your coats, waistcoats and shoes. It is a mere matter of form, but I shall have to inspect you, Lord Carrington, and Lieutenant Parkman will have the same privilege with my principal." At the word the two men divested themselves of their coats, swords and waistcoats, which Dr. Nevinson kindly picked up and piled on the edge of the clearing out of the way. They kicked off their shoes, too, and stood forth in their stocking feet, in shirts and trousers. Blythedale rapidly ran his hand across the body of Carrington to see that he had on no illegal garment which might turn or ward a blow. "You have a locket there, my lord," he said, stopping in his search. "I had forgotten it," said Carring- turning crimson. He reached his hand up, unbuttoned his collar, drew forth the locket, and handed it to Dr. Nevinson. It con tained a picture of his wife. Ellen recognized it as one she had given him in the early days of their married life. Parkham's inspection of the other combatant had developed noth ing. "I presume," said Strathgate, with an evil laugh, "that the victor takes the locket and the lady." "This," began Parkman, his face flushing at the insult, "is most unusual and improper, and I appeal to you, Lord Blythedale." "You're right, Parkman. Damn ye, Strathgate!" cried Blythedale, hot and angry, "I never hoard of such conduct. Another remark like that and I re fuse to act in your behalf. You have your man where you want him, before your sword's point. You can let that talk for you in the future." "Give yourself 110 concern as to what Lord Strathgate says, Parkman," said Carrington, coolly. "Ho hasn't much time to talk, and I'm disposed to let him enjoy his remaining opportu nities to the full." How grand and noble looked my lord in crouching Ellen's eyes then! Strathgate did not seem quite so pleased with himself as he had been when he made the unlucky remark. "Are you ready, gentlemen?" said Blythedale, looking from one to the other. "Ready!" said Strathgate, stepping lightly forward with upraised sword. Carrington said nothing, but grimly came to position. "My principal desires no saluting," said Parkman, stepping between the two men. "Very good, we are satisfied," re turned Blythedale. "Lieutenant Park man will give the word 'Engage,' and after that ye may go at it when ye will." Blythedale drew his own sword and stepped near the two combatants, facing each other for all the world like two tigers waiting to spring at each other's throats. Parkman also whipped out his sword and took posi tion opposite Blythedale. The doctor straightened up and peered curiously at the little group. Ellen's heart stopped its beating. She and Deborah lay side by side as close as they could get staring through the leaves. Parkman looked from one to the other. Strathgate had a little smile upon his lips. He bore himself gal lantly. There was no denying that. His air was one of indifference, as if he were slightly bored by the proceed ing, although his eyes were shining. Carrington, on the contrary, was very pale. His lips were compressed, his brow wrinkled. He looked the per sonification of determination and in his eyes, too, was a light. The two men stood up, each with his sword turned downward, the point resting on his right foot, which was slightly advanced and at right angles to the left foot. Each man had his left hand behind his back. Parkman drew a long breath and cried sharply: "Engage!" On the instant two flashes of light split the air. The next moment there was a sharp ring of steel, and the men stood facing each other with knees bent, right arms extended, left arms lifted high and the two blades press ing like stone walls. (TO BE CONTINUED.) TROUBLE WITH MODERN CHILD. Too Early Made Acquainted with the Pomp of the World. Miss L. E. Stearns, in her lecture on the "Thankless Child," in Milwau kee, pleaded for children to have time to be children. "I know of a Milwau kee mother who was surprised lately to find that at a birthday party which her daughter (a child of eight) had attended two liveried pages stood at the door to receive the gifts the chil dren brought. The same little girl who was hostess at the party, •■' l, »n In a formal mood, is apt togo „ v.-., upon some child of her own age in her mother's carriage, accompanied by a footman and driver, and when she arrives, presents her visiting card be fore seeing her friend." Miss Stearns compared this complicated existence with that of tho great John Kuskin, who had but four toys during his en tire childhood, but who spent many enraptured hours with these, and he attributed his taste for architecture to the fact of his blocks, one of the toys, having interested him lu build lug ut so early au ago. | The Place to Boy Cheap S ) J.
