CHAPTER VII.-continued.

Suddenly Darlington thought of the
door not often used that opened into
the hall from her bedroom. He
ing thought OF 1t before. He ran
thither at once in spite OF the fact
that his conduct was attracting the
attention of the servants passing to
and fro about their various duties
He tried the handle of the door,
which was shut, and found it was un-
locked He threw it open. The bed
had not been tenanted, yet Ellen had
certainly undressed, for the gown and
other things she had worn the night
before lay in tumbled. confused
heap on the floor just where she had
kicked them off
My lady's desk stood open before
him. A piece of paper caught his
eye. He dropped the slipper, darted
toward it, opened the paper, which
was addressed to him, and read the
following:
THE enclosed pays my last debt TO
Lord Darlington. When he reads this, /
shall be on the way to my own land.
With the money which he won he can
buy himself Lady Cecily without the for
mality of A marriage ceremony and in
her arms he can forget the woman he
shamed. whom lie once loved and who
once loved him"
From the paper as he had torn It
open, an inclosure had fallen. He
stopped and picked it up. It was the
cheque on Ellen's bankers for twenty
odd thousand pounds. My lords brain
reeled as he stared from the cheuue
to the note. 1t was as il he had
been struck some powerful blow over
the heart and was for the moment
paralyzed. He sank down in a chair
and gazed stupidity about him in great
bewilderment
And then he heard his name called.
MY lord, my lord!"
1t was the aged butler coming I'D
the stairs, white-faced and painting.
What is it, Jepson?" cried Car
rington, confronting the man. Speak
out. What has happened?"
"One of the footmen, Thomas. nv
lord, has just come in from the stables.
He says that he found the three stable
boys who were there last night bound
and gagged"
What" cried Lord Darlington.
That's not all, sir" continued the
faithful Jepson, the coachman-"
Has he gomez queried the earl.
NO, my lord. He was bound and
gagged, too, in the coach house"
who did it?"
He says the earl of Strathgate."
Impossible" protested Carrington,
fighting against the awful suspicion
that entered his heart.
IT'S quite true, my lord"
Darlington dashed back madly into
his wife's room. He had known that
she had hanging in her closet the
sailors suit which she had worn on
her cruises with him. A dark suspi-
cion had come to him. He tore open
the door of the closet and tore from
the hooks one after another the gor-
geous dresses which hung there. He
did not find what he sought. She
had evidently worn it away. He
turned from .he room, ran through the
hall and down the flight OF stairs to
the library tie coachman awaited
him
who was with Strathgate when he
bound you last night?"
"A young man, | take it. my lud,"
answered the coachman The room
was dark with only the freight.

Strathgate threatened me with a pis-
tol, or I'd have made outcry and
resistance. He kept me covered with

IRVING AND MONTAGUE.
One Of Their Practical Jokes That
Scared Their Friends.

Scared Their Friends.
In SCOTS "The Drama Of Yesterday
and Today the author tells OF a prac-
teal joke played by Henry Irving and
Harry Montague upon a number of
heir friends, and Gin Its execution was
seen the first dawning gllmmer of that
tragic force that was ultimately to find
expression in Hoods Dream OF Eugene
Aram' and The Bells" Irving and
Montague, hitherto the best allies, be-
gan to quarrel on their way to a picnic,
and their friends feared some tragic
consequences. After luncheon both of
the men disappeared
Smale's face turned deadly pale. He
felt that his worst fears were being
realized. With one wild cry, They're
gone-what on earth has become OF
themi" he made a dash down the Oar
gle over the rocks and powders, with
the remainder Of the picnic party at his
heels.
At the bottom OF a dreadful hollow

friends. There on a stone sat Henry
Irving in his shirt sleeves, his long hair
matted over lis eyes. his thin hands
and white face all smeared with blood,
and dangling an open clasp knife.
He was muttering to himself In a
savage tone: 1--WE done it! I've done It.!
| said would! | said wouldw
Tom Smale in an agong of fear
rushed up to Irving, who waved him
on one side with threatening gestures
"For Gods sake, man." screamed the
distracted Smale, tell us where he ls!"
Irving, scarcely moving a muscle,
pointed to IA heap Of dead leaves and
In sepulchral tones cried: Hes there
there! I've done for him! I've MUIR
dered him"
Smale literally bounded to the heap
and began tiinging aside the leaves in
every direction. Presently he found
the body of Harry Montague lying face
downward. Almost paralyzed with
fear, Smale just managed TO turn the
head around ana found Montague con-
vulsed with laughter, with a pocket
handkerchief In his mouth to prevent
an explosion. Never was better acting
