A We'll Planned F!ight
tOriginal.l

a railway station when he noticed . lady, also handsomely dressed, await ing the train with great anxiety. T beg pardon" he said. You seem to be watching for something. Can l do anything to hurry matters"
 "Oh, no. My baggage hasn't come, but it will be forwarded. There's the train now.'
 May I hand you aboard the carl"
 ''Thank you"
 They entered a parlor car, the gem tleman securing the seats and taking care that they should be together. They were going to Boston and lived fin adjoining towns near the city. The gentleman so won the lady's confidence that she confessed that her story about her baggage was a fabrication. She was heiress to great estate, and rela' tives. in order to secure it for them selves, were endeavoring to confine her in an insane asylum. She was flying to escape the horrible doom.
 Twill they not telegraph to the po- lice to arrest you on your entrance to the city?" he asked.
 
 was turned to terror.
 'H'mr' said the gentleman. who seemed to know more of the ways of the world than the girl q must think of some method by which you can elude them" He sat for awhile plunged in deep thought, then added: My coun- try place is situated at the next sta- tiOn. I keep it shut up in winter ir care of a man and his wife. We are about the same height and could wear each others clothes. What do you say to getting off there, exchanging gar ments and going on, I as Algernon Starkweather, you as'-
 Lucy Atterbury. But never, nev' CT. could put on mems clothes"
 Its your only chance"
 Mir. Starkweather finally convinced Miss Atterbury that donning mems at- tire for a few hours was much less to be dreaded than being shut up in a lu- natic asylum. When they reached the next station. both left the train. MT, Starkweather called a carriage, and they drove to the grounds of palatiai residence surrounded by many acres laid out in marvel of landscape gar. dening.
 Remain here for a few minutes" said MT. Starkweather, while I pre- pare the way"
 Going round to the rear of the house, he soon appeared at the front deoy alone. Miss Atterbury alighted and entered. In an hour the twain reap peared in vice versa costume. the lady wearing a beard, tine gentleman clean ly shaved. Re-entering the carriage, they drove to the station, digressing by the way in order not to arrive before the next train. When it came. MT. Starkweather engaged a compartment which the two entered.
 Can I ever thank you for your kind nessT' said Miss Atterbury.
 Don't mention it.
 But it has just occurred to me that It is unnecessary to disguise yourself"
 'I? My disguise is necessary for this reason: You will surely have to pass the eye of the police at the Boston de- pot. I shall be in your company. It would never do for me to be known in this transaction. When I get you through the depot. shall stand by you till l get you out of the city"
 How will you do that?" asked the heiress eagerly.
 We shall see"
 The train drew up in the depot, and Mir. Starkweather gave Miss Atterbury his suit case to carry. Then. leaning on her arm, they alighted and were walking through the depot vixen they were stopped by two men. ''Ratsr' said one to the other. "Ths 1 description is nothing like that. This baby faced fellow doesn't tally at all"
 Right you are. but there's something 1 suspicious about him. | ''Oh, Bob.' asked the lady on his arm. what are they talking about?" i Miss Atterbury, considering her In- | experience in playing such a role, car l ried herself so remarkably well that i the men apologized and permitted her | to pass on. Entering a carriage. Stark weather directed the coachman to | drive to pier on the bay. When he | arrived there, he scrubbed something on a bit of paper and hired a boatman to take it out to yacht in the harbor. | When the messenger returned, ne brought the yachts dingey with him. rowed by a sailor. Starkweather whis- | pered something in his ear. Then the fuSitives got into the dingey and were | pulled to the yacht.
 What does all this meanY' asked Miss Atterbury. astonisheG. You shall see as soon as we get | aboard"
 On reaching the yacht their apparel was exchanged. When Miss Alter bury left her stateroom and went on deck. the yacht was skimming along | the surface under a full head of steam. "Why, MT. Starkweather." she ex- | claimed, what head you have for ] planning, But how did your yacht happen to be ready at this time of year? supposed such craft didn't | come out till May or June" Al
