SYNOPSIS.
The Escapade opens, not In the ro
maneo preceding the marriage of Ellen
Slocum, a Puritan miss, and Lord Car
rington of England, but in their life after
settling in England. The scene is placed,
Just following the revolution, in Harring
ton castle in England. The Carringtons,
after a house party, engaged in a family
tilt, caused by jealousy. The attentions
of Lord Carrington to Lady Cecily and
Lord Strathgate to Lady Carrington com-
{ jelled tiio latter to vow that she would
eave the castle. Preparing to flee. Lady
Carrlngton and her chum Deborah, an
American girl, met l.ord Strathgate at
two a. tn., lie 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
Ellen's flight. Lords f'arrington and Seton
set out in pursuit. Seton rented a fast
vessel and started in pursuit. Strathgate,
bleeding from fall, dashed onto Ports
mouth, for which Carrlngton, 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 Carrlngton 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. Carrlngton and
Strathgate, thrown together by former's
■wrecking of latter'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

grounds of Lord Blythedale's castle.

bie, who have reached land and are in
biding. Carrington won a bloody con
test at swords from Strathgate, Debbie
and Ellen looking on and praying for the
latter's husband. Carrington. immedi
ately following the duel, was placed un
der arrest for refusing to obey his ad
miral's orders and Ellen, who had
swooned during the duel, awoke to find
him cone.
CHAPTER XX.—Continued.
Lord Ulythedale looked tip as Sir
Charles approached.
"Hello, Seton," he said. "You know
Strathgate, I believe. He and Carring
ton have had it out here this morn
ing."
"1 understand," interrupted Sir
Charles.
"Well, Strathgate's got it terribly.
Dr. Nevinson here has just, succeeded
in stanching tl blood. Will you call
mv head keeper, you'll find him over
beyond the coppice yonder, and we'll
have him bring a shutter and take
Strathgate up to the house. It'll be
touch .and go with him, I'm sure.
Demned unpleasant piece of business
this and so early in the morning!"
"Did you find tho ladies, Seton?"
came in weak and faltering tones from
Strathgate's pale lips as he recognized
Sir Charles bending over him.
"No," replied Sir Charles. He hated
the man, but he was terribly down and
perhaps would soon be quite out and
he could not get up the heart to treat
him cruelly. He had played the fool,
yes, and worse, the knave, but he was
paying for it a high price. "No, they
were not on that ship. They had got
ten away somewhere."
"Devilish clever woman, that," fal
tered Strathgate, "and beautiful. Car
riugton's a damned fool—if he—did—
run me through. You're another, Se
ton, and —I'm—"
Hut what Lord Strathgate was in
his own opinion, he did not at that
moment reveal, for the effort at speech
had been too much for him. With a
Bort of ghastly chuckle, he fainted
quite away again.
"We have no time to lose," said
Nevinson, abruptly. "We must get
him to the house at once."
"111 call the keepers myself," sain
Blythedale, who should have done it
at first, as he knew where he had
posted them.
"Fetch me some water, if you will,
Sir Charles," exclaimed the doctor!
"from the brook yonder! Here's a cup."
Sir Charles did as he was bid, and
although he went and came in the
twinkling of an eye and extended to
the surgeon the cup of water desired,
he had time while he filled it to pick
up something else that, lay by the
bank in the soft ooze of the border of
the brook. He noticed the foot print
of a woman's shoe and by the side of
it another little knot of ribbon like
that lie wore, a knot of scarlet, the
color Mistress Debbie affected and'with
which, lie remembered—for he had
met Lady Ellen when she came from
the ship to England—the dress she
wore on the ocean, which she had tin
doubtedly assumed for traveling, was
trimmed, it matched that other knot
of scarlet which he had worn next his
heart since he took it from the car
riage floor.
Ellen and Deborah had escaped!
Why wast it. not possible for fortune
to have brought them there? His
eye swept the scene with the instinct
of a trained soldier to whom the habit
of seeking cover has become second
nature. The coppice! They were
there and he would see them; they
should not escape him now. He has
tily arranged his course.
In a few moments Rlythedale came
back with his keepers and a shutter
from the nearest keeper's house fiver
which blankets and comforts had been
hastily thrown. With infinite care,
they lifted the prostrate, senseless
Strathgate upon it and started for
the hall.
"If you'll forgive me, Ulythedale,"
said Sir Charles in answer to an in
vitation to accompany them, "I have
something to think about and 1 shall
stay here alone for a few moments."
"Oh, very well, suit yourself," re
turned Ulythedale, "but when you've
had your thought out, come up to the
hall and I'll give you some breakfast
and something to drink to take the
taste of this demned unpleasant busi
ness out of our mouths, and so early
in the morning, too! Poor Strath
gate!"
Seton stood quietly until lie had
satisfied himself that the party had
got out of sight and sound. Then he
turned to the coppice.
"Mistress Deborah," he cried softly,
approaching the edge. "Lady Ellen!"
He listened. He detected a slight
whimpering sound and then a sob.
"Mistress Deborah, I know your
voico," cried Sir Charles forcing his
way through the undergrowth regard
less of his clothing, and in a moment
he was by the side of Mistress Deb
bie.
Mistress Debbie had been lying upon
her face. She lifted herself up on her
arms and was staring at Sir Charles
as well as she could stars at anvone
with the tears streaming down her
face. Leaves and bits of mold clung
to her person, her eyes were heavy,
her face was haggard. It is evidence
of the quality of Sir Charles' passion
that, even in this guise, he thought
her beautiful.
He stooped over her instantly,
caught her in his arms and drew her
to her feet. Mistress Debbie fell
against him, clung to him with an as
tonishing access of strength and cried
the more.
In his excitement and rapture at
tills delightful contact. Sir Charles did
not notice the other darker figure ly
ing prone near the spot whence he
had plucked his love. As soon as his
"My Lord Is Well?"
eye fell upon her, he quickly lifted his
sweetheart's head and held her from
him a little.
"Is that Lady Ellen?" he asked.
"Yes," said Debbie contritely, "I
was so glad to see you, 1 forgot—"
"Is she dead?"
"Kainted, I think. You see we saw
all that terrible battle —"
"We must get her out of here at
once," said Sir Charles, releasing Deb
orah. He stooped down and, although
Ellen was no light burden for any
man, he picked her up and followed
by Debbie forced his way through the
coppice onto the sward which had
already been the scene of such mem
orable events that morning. He laid
her gently on the grass, bade Debbie
loosen her collar, ran to the brook,
came back with a hat full of water
and splashed it, manlike, uncere
moniously into Ellen's face. Then he
drew from his pocket a small flask
which he happened to have with him,
and forced a few drops of liquor be
tween Lady Ellen's pale lips. Then he
and Deborah fell to chafing her hands.
Presently, with a long sigh Lady Ellen
opened her eyes.
She stared hard at Seton for a mo
ment. and then the color slowly came
back into her cheeks. She strove
weakly to rise upon her hand and Deb
bie slipped her arm behind her and
supported her.
"Where is my lord?" she asked
faintly. "I saw it all. Oh, my God,
I saw it all!"
"Lord Carrington was not hurt,"
"I know," faltered Ellen. "Strath
gate! How horribly he was punished,"
she murmured. "We have all suffered,
but I must goto my lord now. You
have run me down on a lee shore,
Sir Charles. Will you take mo to
him?"
"Dear Lady Carrington," said Sir
Charles, tenderly, "I would do so—
You must prepare yourself for anoth
er shock."
This time Pollen sat bolt upright,
disdaining Deborah's help and in spite'
of her restraining arm.
"My lord is well?" she cried in an
guished tones.
"Perfectly well," said Sir Charles,
I "but arrested."
"For what? For the du'«l?"
CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, DECEMBER 17, 1908.
"Nay, for disobedience of orders,
for refusing 1o rejoin his ship, for—"
"And he was following me," cried
Lady Ellen with a heavenly smile,
"he cared more for me than orders,
or—"
Vnd then the thought of T.ady Ce
cily swept inio her mind and clouded
her heart.
"Madam," said Solon, "believe me
he cares more for you than anything
under heaven."
"And am 1 not to so to him now?"
asked Ellen. "1 see how foolish I
have been."
"If you will forgive me the sugges
tion," said Seton, "'tis C'arrington
who has played the fool and now he's
in a grave situation. Admiral Kep
hard is his friend, but he is helpless.
My lord must stand a court-martial
and 'tis likely togo hard with liim."
"What is to be done?" asked Ellen,
seeing her new found cup of happiness
about to be dashed from her lips.
"You must goto the king, tell him
the whole story."
"Who will take me there?" asked
Ellen, after a long pause.
"I will," returned Sir Charles.
"Think you that having at last run
you down, I would allow Mistress Deb
bie out of my sight again? Courage,
madam, we will appeal to his majesty
in person, lie hath a kind heart for
all his strange ways', God bless him!
We will all go together and appeal to
him, but first 1 must get you shelter"
—and Sir Charles looked away as he
spoke—"and clothes suitable for your
sex. We will goto Blythedale hall."
"Have they taken Lord Stratligate
there?"
"Ay," returned Sir Charles,"ln a
helpless, fainting condition."
"I will never go," said Ellen, de
cidedly, "under any roof in which he
abides, living or dead."
"Very well," said Sir Charle3. "Mis
tress Deborah shall stay here with
you. I will get a carriage somewhere
and we will, goto the next posting
station and at the first convenient
stopping place the definite arrange
ments may be completed."
"And you and Debbie, Sir Charles?"
queried Ellen.
"If Mistress Debbie will accept me,"
said Sir Charles, bowing ceremonious
ly, "I shall be proud to be her hus
band."
"Oh, Sir Charles," faltered Debbie,
rising to her feet and blushing like
the crimson ribbon with which her
dress was trimmed, "I did not want to
run away a bit," she said as Sir Charles,
utterly oblivious to Lady Ellen, caught
her in his arms.
"You found Baxter's 'Saints' Rest'
a heavenly volume," says my lady,
softly. "May it be peaceful and hap
py with you to the last page."
"Amen!" assented Sir Charles, cut
ting short Debbie's ejaculation in the
most approved and delectable way.

THOUGHT HE WANTED SNUFFBOX
Suspicion of Piper Not Very Flatter
ing to His Grace.
At a dinner giv«n by the marquis
of Bute, among th<? guests was a well
known duke who, in full Highland
dress, had his piper standing behind
his chair. At dessert a very hand
some and valuable snuffbox belong
ing to another of the guests was han
ded round. When the time came to
return it to its owner, the snuffbox
could not be found anywhere, though
a very thorough search was made.
The duke was specially anxious about
it, but with no result. Some months
afterwards the duke again donned the
kilt for another public ceremony—the
first time he had worn it since the
above dinner —and happening to put
his hand into his sporran he, to his
utmost astonishment, found there the
snuffbox which had been lost at the
public dinner. Turning to. his piper,
the duke said: "W T hy, this is the snuff
box we were all looking for! Did you
not see me put it away in my spor
ran?" "Yes, your grace," replied the
piper, "I did, but I thocht ye wushed
tae keep it." —San Francisco Argo
naut.
Too Much Clothing.
The chief quarrel which hygiene has
with clothing is that there is too much
of it; garments come down too far, are
too tight, too heavy, too hot, writes Dr.
Woods Hutchinson. We do much more
harm to our health by overloading our
selves with clothing and by overin
dulging ourselves in the luxury of
warmth —cramping the movements of
the body, interfering with the respira
tion, depriving the skin of its most in
alienable right, the right to fresh air,
absorbing the perspiration and mak
ing a refrigerating cold pack for the
body after exercise—than is done by
wearing tight stays or tight boots.
Cheap Home-Made Barometer.
A weather man described the other
day a cheap home-made barometer.
He said it was only necessary to
take a piece of string about 15 inches
long and to soak it several hours in
a strong solution of salt and water.
After being dried the string should
have a light weight tied to one end
and be hung up against a wall, a mark
being made to show where the weight
reaches.
The barometer is now complete. It
is as accurate as a SIOO instrument.
The weight rises for wet weather and
falls for fine.
The Necessary Requirement.
"Father," said the young woman,
"I begin to realize that beauty is only
skin deep."
"How's that?" questioned her pa.
"Nowadays," continued the girl, "a
dowry is much deeper."
Whereupon her father resolved to add
a little more water to the stock that
a fund might be established to attract
desirable young men.—Detroit Frea
Press.

The Changing Times.
Times have changed since 450 years
ago, when Halley's comet, for whose
reappearance astronomers are now
looking, was in the heavens. Then the
Christian world prayed to be deliv

comet." Now it says the devil is not
as black as he has been painted, the
Turk is a negligible quantity and the
comet would be rather welcome than
otherwise. —Boston Transcript.

No Married Men for Him.
H. Elvin, secretary of the National
Union of Clerks, mentions that he
once received this card from an em
ployer who lives in the north of Lon
don: "I am a single man, employ two
porters and five clerks. No married
man shall ever enter my employ. As
far as possible with my tradespeople
I only deal with those who are single.
What else I desire I order froom my
stores. I will have nothing to do
with dirty, careless, idle and mostly
thieving married fools."—Casaell's Sat

Aunt Harriet's Omnipotence.
In the IJeecher family the name of
Mrs. Stowe was ofter quoted to the
rising generation as one having au
thority. On one occasion a grand
niece of Mrs. Stowe became very
angry at a playmate and, stamping her
foot, said: "I hate you, and I don't
want anything more to do with you,
nor your man servant, nor your maid
servant, nor your ox, nor your ass."
Iler mother sternly reproved her,
asking her If she knew what she was
saying. Little Miss IJeecher promptly
replied: "Yes, the ten command
mends."
"Well, do you know who wrote
them?"
The child, looking disgusted, an
swered: "Goodness, yes! Aunt Harriet
did, I s'pose."—Woman's Journal.
Bloom on the Egg.
"I know these eggs, at least, are
fresh," said the young housewife. "As
I took them from the basket, a white
bloom, like the down of a peach, came
off my hands."
Her husband, a food expert, gave a
sneering laugh.
"In that case," he said, "I will fore
go my usual morning omelette. That
bloom, as you so poetically call it, is
lime dust. It shows that the eggs are
pickled. Lime dust, which rubs ofT
like flour, is the surest test we have
for pickled eggs—a not unwholesome
article, but not to be compared with
the new-laid sort."

Anticipating Misfortune.
Not only do wo suffer much In the
anticipation of evil, as "Noah lived
many years under the affliction of a
flood, and Jerusalem was taken unto
Jeremy before it wag besieged," but
we often distress ourselves greatly in
the apprehension of misfortunes
which, after all, never happen at all.
We should uo our best and wait calm
ly the result. We often hear of peo
ple breaking down from overwork, but
in nine cases out of ten they are real
ly suffering from worry and anxiety.—

Ruland received his llr&t spanking, an
experience which was to him totally
new, strange and mystifying. About
all he understood of it was that it
hurt and immediately after being al
lowed to wriggle off of the maternal
knee he toddled toward the shelf oa
which stood his old friend, the bottle,
and with hands upraised cried implor
