6 MWVES of;the LADY ARABELLA By HOLLY ELLIOT SEAWELL —^ (Copyright, 1908, liobba-MerrillCo.) SYNOPSIS. At 14 years of age Admiral Sir Peter Hiwkshaw's nephew, Richard Glyn, fell •deeply in love at first sight with Lady Arabella Stormont, who spurned his at tentions. The lad, an orphan, was given a berth as midshipman on the Ajax by kits uncle. Giles Vernon, nephew of Sir Thomas Vernon, became the boy's pal. They attended a theater whore Hawk shaw's nephew saw Lady Arabella. Ver non met Philip Overton, next in line for Sir Thomas Vernon's estate. They start ad a duel which was interrupted. Vernon, Overton and Hawkshaw's nephew found themselves attracted by pretty Lady Ara bella. The AJax in battle defeated French warships in the Mediterranean. Richard Glyn got £2,"00 prize money. He was called home by I>ady Hawkshaw as he was about to "blow in" his earnings with Vernon. At a Hawkshaw party Glyn dis covered that Lady Arabella was a poor but persistent gambler. He talked much with her cousin Daphne. Lady Arabella again showed love for gaming. Later she tie Id Glyn and Overton prisoners, thus delaying the duel. In the Overton-Ver non duel, neither was hurt. Lady Ara bella humiliated Richard by her pranks. Richard and Giles shipped on a frigate. Giles was captured by the French. Sir Peter arranged for his exchange. Daph ne showed a liking for Glyn, who was then 21 years of age. Giles was released. Giles and Richard planned elopements. CHAPTER Vll.—Continued. I was so staggered by having the "words taken out of my mouth, that I could only gape and stare at her. To render my confusion worse, she added: "And you want to marry Daphne." "I can not deny it, madam," I man aged to say. "Will you ring the bell?" she asked. I rang the bell like a church war den, and the footman came, and Lady Hawkshaw immediately sent him for Sir Peter. 1 think my courage would wholly have given out at that, except for a glimpse of Daphne, flitting up the stairs. The dear girl wished to give me heart, so she told me afterward. Sir Peter appeared, and was greeted by Lady Hawkshaw as follows: "Sir Peter, here is Richard Glyn Wanting to marry Daphne. He has but £3,000; but she might go farther and fare worse." »SJr Peter literally glared at me. He >gasped once or twice, then broke out £n a torrent. "He wants to marry my ward, does : he—my ward, with £30,000 in her own right! I wonder, damme, he • didn't propose to marry Arabella, 'too. Young gentleman, you are too •.modest. Heiresses in England go about hunting for poor lieutenants to marry. I suppose you think it would be a fine stroke for me to marry my ward to my nephew! Ha, ha! Ho, ho!" His laughter was demoniac. ""Sir Peter," said Lady Hawkshaw,. severely—for I remained mute —"I am astonished at your violence and un- j reason. Did you never hear of an heiress —and a fine, handsome girl, too. I with many accomplishments, and of a great family—marrying a poor lieu tenant without a penny, and without an ancestor?" "By Jupiter, I never did!" roared Sir Peter. "Then, Sir Peter," cried Lady Hawkshaw, rising with awful dignity, "you forget all about Lieut. Peter Hawkshaw and the Honorable Apol lonia Jane Howard." At this Sir Peter fairly wilted for a few moments; and I heard something strangely like a tittering in the next room. Rut Sir Peter presently recovered iiimself in a measure. "Hut —but —there are lieutenants and lieutenants, madam. I was considered a man likely to rise. And, besides, if I remember rightly, I was not an ill looking fellow, madam." "Sir Peter, you were no taller than you are now—five feet four inches. Your hair was red, and you were far from handsome. Richard Glyn is as gocd-looking as you ever were in your life; and he has already made his mark. Richard Glyn," turning to me, '"you are at liberty to marry Daphne Carmichael." "Richard Glya," bawled Sir Peter, "if you dare to think you are going to marry Daphne Carmichael—mind, I say, if the thought ever enters your damned head —it will be as much as your life is worth! I am going, this moment, to the first lord of the ad sniralty, to see if I can't have you sent to the West Indies, or the Gold Coast, with my best wishes and endeavors to Steep you there for ten years at least." "And what will you do with me, ■doar Uncle Peter?" suddenly asked a soft voice; and Daphne, who had stolen into the room (she must have Tjeen very near), stood before him, and nestled her pretty head against his shoulder. Sir Peter was too astonished for a -•moment or two to speak. The whole thing had fallen upon him like the .shock of an earthquake, But in a lit tie while he recovered his voice, and all of his voice, too; ho shouted as If he were on the bridge of the AJax, with a whole gale blowing and the enemy In sight. "Do!" lie shrieked. "What shall I do? Bread and water, miss, for six months! Discipline, miss!" And much more of the same sort. This roused Lady Hawkshaw to take our part. She shouted back at Sir Peter, and I, not to be outdone, shouted that Daphne was mine, and 1 was hers, as long as life should last; au'i presently Sir Peter flung out, in a royal rage, and Lady Hawkshaw flung after him; and Daphne sank, in tears, on my shoulder, and I kissed her a hundred times, and comforted her. But I knew Sir Peter was a de termined man in some respects; and I felt assured he would shortly carry out his threat to send mo to sea, and, once at sea, it might be years before I should again set foot in England. Scotland, then, sounded sweetly in our ears. I found, in truth, that when it came actually to going off, Daphne's romantic willingness changed to a natural hesitation at so bold a step. But the near prospect of going to the Bellona turned the scale in my favor, and I won from her a sort of oblique consent. And another thing seemed to play directly into our hands. Sir Peter had business at Scarborough, which might detain him some time; and, although it was late in the au tumn, lie determined to take his fam ily with him. 1 believe it was by way of separating Daphne and me that he came to the decision. Lady Hawk shaw was togo, and his two wards; and they were to remain a month. This was so obviously showing us the road across the border that I told my sweet Daphne plainly I should car ry her off; at which she wept more, and protested less, than I had yet seen her. In the whole affair, I had counted upon the assistance of Giles Vernon; and on the very night the party left for Scarborough, after a tearful fare well between Daphne and me, I went to Giles' lodgings, to make a clean breast of it. Giles' voice called me upstairs; and when I reached his room, there, spread out on the bed, I saw a beautiful suit of brown and silver. "Do you see that?" cried Giles. "That is my wedding suit. For it I pi |||» "That Is My Wedding Suit." spent fifty of the last £IOO I had In the world, and it is to marry Lady Arabella Storniont that I bought it." I thought he was crazy, but I soon perceived there was method In his madness. Ho told me seriously enough that he meant to carry off Lady Arabella Stormont from Scar borough. "Hut —but —she does not like you," I said, hesitating and amazed. "We shall see about that, my lad," he said, and then began to tell me of what he thought a great change in his favor with Arabella. He put many trifling things which I had not noted in such a light that under his eloquent persuasion I began to believe Lady Arabella really might have a secrat weakness for him which pride pre vented her from discovering. He had never failed to win any woman's re gard yet; and it had always seemed a miracle to me, Richard Glyn, who had fallen under his spell so many years ago, how anybody could resist him. He wound up his argument by saying, in his usual confident manner: "Trust me, there is something com pelling in the love I feel for Arabella. Women are all alike, my boy. They want a master. Once put the bit in their mouths, and they adore you for it. Let me have the spirit to run away with that adorable creature, and see how quickly she will come to my call. You will shortly see her clinging to me like peaches to a southern wall." "And her fortune?" "She is none the worse for that. But I swear to you, Dicky Glyn, that I would carry her off as the Romans did the Sabine maiden , if she had not a shilling"—which believed to bo true; for his was an infatuation which takes account of nothing. He then began to tell me of his plans, and in them he showed his usual shrewdness and boldness. The trip to Scarborough had put Scotland in his head. He was likely to be sent to sea any day, to bo gone, perhaps, for years; just the arguments 1 had used to myself first and to Daphne after ward. I remembered that scene five years before, with Overton and Lady Ara bella In Sir Peter's cubby-hole; and (lie memory of .t made mo think with dread of Giles Vernon's marrying Arabella. Butt I could not speak open ly; and, after \ll, she was so strange a creature Unit one could scarcely ! judge her by tfte standard of other | women. And t.hjft the plun I had to CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, JULY i, 1909. confide to him very effectually with drew the charges of any battery I might have brought to bear on him. When he had finished his tale, and I had told him mine, Giles was in an ecstasy. He laughed in hia uproarious good humor. "Oh, you sly dog!" he shouted. "So you are up to the same game!" I explained that I had not much to fear. Daphne was undoubtedly fond of me, and Lady Hawkshaw being on our side, and other reasons in our favor —all of which fitted Giles' case exactly. And at last I gave up, in sheer despair, and agreed to Giles' suggestion that we should together carry olf the two damsels of our hearts and then and there we made our plans, sitting up until the gray dawn came. Oh, the madness of It; the wildness of it! But we were two dare-devil and happy-go-lucky lieutenants, without the prudence of landsmen. We loved, and we were liable at any moment to be torn away for many years from the idols of our hearts. Runaway marriages were common; and only the parents and guardians were offended in those cases, and for giveness generally followed. We were about to commit a great Jolly; but we thought we were nobly sustaining the reputation of his majesty's sea of ficers for our spirit and gallantry with the fair sex, and looked not to the dreadful consequences of our desper ate adventure. CHAPTER VIII. Giles Vernon and I agreed that It was necessary we should strike the blow as soon as possible, while we had the weather-gage, so to speak, of Sir Peter; and on the day after his traveling chariot took its way north a very plain post-chaise followed it, and in it were Giles Vernon and my self. Giles was in a state of the wildest happiness conceivable. There is some thing appalling in that fervor of mind when the human creature, forgetting all the vicissitudes of this life, treads on air and breathes and lives in heaven. Thus I was made sad by his gladness, but I dared not show it, lest it bo mis taken for a want of spirit in our enter prise, so I joined with him in his joy and revelry. We reached Scarborough at four o'clock in the afternoon, and put up at a small inn on the outskirts of the town, and some little way on the road to the north. We sallied forth im mediately to find out something about our inamoratas, and Fate —whether it was that kindly goddess who leads our footsteps toward those we love, or whether it was tie cruel Destiny which delights in torturing men—at once directed us. Wo were walking along near the playhouse, which had been lately opened in the town, when we saw James, Lady Hawksliaw's own footman, go inside the playhouse and buy some tickets of the man at the door. As soon as he was well out of the way I sneaked in, and, thrusting two shillings into the man's hand, in quired if Sir Peter and Lady Hawk shaw and the young ladies would favor the performance that night. The man grinned and showed me a slip of pa per, on which was written in Lady Hawkshaw's bold hand: "Three stalls for Lady Hawkshaw and party." (TO BE CONTINUED.) WORLD'S MOST EXCLUSIVE CLUB. English Joy That There Is One Door Riches Won't Unlock. The Royal Yacht Squadron Is prob ably the most exclusive club in exist ence, says the Gentlewoman, and won derful to relate in this plutocratic age money is quite powerless to unlock the charmed portals of the castle. One or two millionaires with splen did yachts have tried in vain to pass the ordeal of the periodical ballot, while men of no fortune or only just enough to defray the upkeep of a small yacht have been elected without an idea of a blackball. The only apparent qualification is that the candidate must possess a yacht of his own; but there are other qualifications much more difficult of attainment by the man of money, and it is just here that the question of blackballing comes in.it must be owned, rather refreshingly. For really one had almost said that there is no social "holy of holies" Into which he who is rich cannot penetrate, until one recalls the pleasant circle of gentlemen who goto make up the Royal Yacht Squadron. There is, one remembers gratefully, just one insti tution left to which the mystic words "I am rich" do not have the effect of an "open sesame." Establishing the Plural. Fred, who was four years old, vis ited his uncle on the farm. When he came home his father asked him what had pleased him the most. "O, I liked the geese. I had such fun chasing them, and we had a great big goose for dinner one day!" "Well," said his father, "how can you tell the difference between a goose and geese?" "Aw, that's easy," said Fred. "One geese is a goose and two gooses is geese." Camels and Campbells. An Irishman and a Scotchman were discussing the horrors of living in a prohibition state, when the Irishman remarked: "Sure, an' you might get used to it after awhile. Ye know they say a camel can go eight days without drink in'." "Hoot, mon!" retorted the other, "it's little ye know aboot the Camp bolls when ye say that. There is no one o' them could go eight hours wl'out a drap o' something!" Which ended the discussion. - Pennsylvania Happenings Pittsburg.—At a meeting of the Pittsburg Single Tax Association it was decided to celebrate the birthday of Henry George on Sept 3 by a sup per. Pottstown.—Notice was posted In the Stanley 0. Flagg plant at Stowe announcing a general increase of 10 per cent in the wages of the employes of that plant, to take effect July 7. The increase will effect all of the hands of the plant, both skilled and unskilled labor. Altoona.—The United States army recruiting office, after being closed since last February, was reopened in the federal building. The enlistments wanted are for coast and artillery service, ltecruits are wanted for sev eral negro regiments in the army. Philadelphia.—Science and surgery may restore sight to the eyes of little Katherine Frick, the deaf, dumb and sightless ward of the state, who is being educated at the Pennsylvania Institution for the Deaf and Dumb at Mount Airy. Dr. W. T. Shoemaker, noted oculist and surgeon, will remove a cataract from the child's right eye, and by doing this he hopes to give her partial vision. Philadelphia.—.John Dermond is a wonder to the medical world. Five years ago he was badly injured when a steer fell upon his head from a run away in the local yards of Armour & Co. His head was driven down be tween his shoulders, breaking MB neck. His skull was fractured and his shoulders dislocated and live ribs, one arm and both legs broken and severely injured internally. But not withstanding all these injuries, be is to-day well and able to walk. Willlamsport.—One of the saddest funerals ever held here was that of Mr. and Mrs. Albert S. Munro, the young bridal couple who were found dead together in their room, both having died of heart disease. The same minister who 11 days alter offi ciating at their wedding ceremony conducted their double funeral and the pallbearers for Mrs. Munro were the groomsman and ushers at the wedding. -The pallbearers for Mr. Munro were clerks from the office in •which he was employed. Pittsburg.—The largest single con tract for railroad equipment ever placed in the United States, involving front $20,000,000 to 135,000,000, will be awarded by the Pennsylvania railroad company within the next ten days. Most of these ears will be built in the Pittsburg district, and thousands of mechanics will be assured steady employment for many months. Pres ident McCrea and other officials of the Pennsylvania have authorized tlie pur chase of the new rolling stock, and it is understood that the large car-build ing concerns have already been noti fied of the number of cars to be built at their plants. Pittsburg.—By an expenditure of 57,000,000, the New York Central will gain a direct connection between Pittsburg and New York, the route being but a trifle longer than that of the Pennsylvania and much shorter than the Baltimore & Ohio. It is an nounced that the right of way has been secured and all surveys made for a line of 70 miles connecting Clymer, Pa., with Port Vue, Pa. The former point is on the Clearfield branch of the New York Central and the latter on the Pittsburg, McKeesport & Youg hiogheny branch of the New York Cen tral. Aside from giving the direct outlet to the Kast, the New York Cen tral people figure on a great relief from the congestion which has for years been on the Pittsburg & Lake Erie end of the New York Central here.

WERE BOTH OF MIXED BLOOD Points of Resemblance Between Enfl- I lishman and Cowboy, as the Latter Understood It. "The countess de Pourtales was a Now York Lorlllard," said a New York tobacconist. "So on both Bides, of course, she has blue blood. Yet she is without false pride. "At a recent tobacco men's conven tion a director told me of a remark the countess made in Biarritz to an arrogant Englishman. "This fellow boasted of his ancestry. The countess said that sort of talk wouldn't be understood in the wild west. She said an Englishman said to a Texas cowboy once: "'I have Tudor blood in my veins on the maternal aide and through my father's family I am a Plantaganet.' "'ls that so?* said the cowboy, brightening with keen interest. 'My blood's a leetle mixed, too. My grand father was a Jersey tenderfoot and my grandmother a Digger Indian squaw.
