SYNOPSIS.

The Escapade opens. not in the ro-
nance preceding the marriage Of Ellen
Slocum, 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 Caring
ton castle in England. The Carringtons,
after house party, engaged in a family
tilt, caused by jealousy. Lord Caring
ton and his wife each made charges of
faithlessncss against the other in con-
tinuation Of the quarrel First Directing
against playing cards with the guests,
Lady Darlington agreed to cut cards with
Lord Strathgate, whose attentions to
Ellen had become sore point with Car
rington. The loss of 100000 failed to per-
turb her, and her husband then cut for
his Wife's l. O. L. and his honor, Car
rington winning. The incident closed en-
cept that liking for each other appar-
emily arose between Lady Darlington and
Lord Strathgate. Additional attentions
of Lord Darlington to Lady Cecily and
Lord Strathgate to Lady Darlington cam
PEELED the latter to vow that she would
leave the castle. Preparing to flee, Lady
Darlington and her chum Deborah, an
American girl met Lord Strathgate at
two a. M, he agreeing to see them safe
ly away.

What to Teach the Bows.

A philosopher has said that true
education to boys is to teach them
what they should know when they
become men,"
l. To be true and to be genuine.
No education is worth anything that
does not include this.
2. To be pure in thought, language
and life-pure in mind and in body.
3. To be unselfish. To care for the
feelings and comforts of others. To
be generous, noble and manly. This
will include a genuine reverence for
the aged and for things sacred.
4. To be self-reliant and self-help.

dustrious always, and self supporting
at the earliest proper age. Teach
them that all honest work in honor.
able, that an idle life of dependence
On others is disgraceful
When a boy has learned these four
things. when he has made these ideas
a part of the being-however poor, or
however rich--he has learned the
most important things he ought to
know when he becomes man.

CHAPTER VII.
My Lord Hears III Tidincs.

The morning sun was streaming
brightly through the windows when
Darlington glanced at his watch as he
opened his eyes, and was startled to
discover that it was already seven
o'clock. And he had meant to get
up early that day to prepare himself
the better for that interview with his
wife. Hastily arising. he stole soft
ly to the door opening into her bou-
doir, tried the knob gently and found
that the door was locked. He lis
tened, but could hear nothing. Imag-
lining that she was still asleep, he sum-
moned his valet, bathed and dressed
himself with unusual care for the OPP
erations of the day, and then returned
to the door of the boudoir. Again he
knocked, and more loudly. Receiving
no answer, he fairly Numbered upon it
with his feet, to be met with the
same silence as before.

Ellen did at random shoot through

was greatly relieved when she dis

This was fine end, or a fine begin

Darlington, bitterly. She had never
dreamed of this and she blamed her
self for fool not to have thought of
it. OF course Lord Strathgate's inter-
est in her was selfish one.
Her escape would be discovered in
a short time; his absence would be

The Human Engine.

OF all the engines Cunningly de-
Vised by man not one can equal that
masterpiece of construction, the en-.
CINE Of the human frame. To run that
engine, air is the first necessity. Con-
struct it how you will, the greater part
of the energy which feeds a power
plant Is lost before it reaches the ap-
plying machine. The body, declares
Hollis Godfrey in the Atlantic, only
has the power of using energy really
economically and efficiently It's food
is its fuel To be available, all the
constituents of that food must be
burned, producing heat and power
For that burning the oxygen Of the air
is essential. Equally true is it that
nitrogen must be present to prevent
the rapid combustion which would
take place in oxygen alone. But
whether the combustion be fast or
slow, the action is the same. The
body burns the carbon and hydrogen
of its food and gives out the oxides Of
these substances, carbon dioxide Gear
bon acid gas) and hydrogen oxide
(water). The water that is formed
within the body by the burning of
hydrogen is of comparatively slight
Importance in a consideration Of the
vital questions of the effect of city air
upon the individual but the other fac
tor the carbon dioxide formed in the
body, is Of direct Importance.

Justice to All.

Truth never Contradicts itself.
Neither does justice ever come into
conflict with justice. Whatever condi-
tons are just to the farmer can be
no less than just to all men. No man
is wronged. Right is right and
wrongs no man" On the other hand,
whatever is less than justice to the
farmer is less than justice to all men
who participate in the inequality
less than justice even to the specrla-
tor and the capitalist, who wax fat off
the farmers toll. 1t is true they 60
not object to the injustice-they like
it-but it is a fact that people who
submit to wrong conditions do injus-
tice to their oppressors as we'll as to
their children. What is more to the
point is the thought that all honest
men-all who want justice, no less,
no more, whether farmer or laboring
man, can Join hands as brothers in
the noble work of accomplishing hui
manity's freedom. Moreover, one class
unaided is not equal to the job-each
needs the other Whatever is JUS
tice for one is justice for the other.
Injustice the same. No man liveth to
himself-likewise no class. The farm
er cannot achieve justice for himself
without emancipating the world!-Na-

Rear Admiral Sigsbee, in a recent
article in the Youths Companion, re-
ferred to a story told him by an Off
Ger who had sailed on the Portsmouth
off the African coast, hunting for
slavers. The story goes that the
Portsmouth was once challenged to
race by foreign man-ofwar, and
sailed round the foreigner twice.
The admiral regards this as a good
sea yarn which he is content to leave
undisturbed. A correspondent who
was on board the Portsmouth at the
time writes to the Companion that in
the log which he kept of the cruise he
finds the facts which bear out the
story. On November -, 1859, the
Archer, British sloop of war, and the
Portsmouth were lying at anchor off
Kensington, West Africa. Both got
under way about the same time, all
sails set, and started on a trial of
speed. Whether the race had been
planned or was an informal brush"
is not recorded, but it is true that in
the race that followed the Portsmouth
sailed clean round the Archer. The
evident establishment of the incident
to make it worthy sea yarn is the
word twice"

The road from the lodge gate ran
for about half mile through the park
until it joined the main road. Ports
mouth lay to the eastward, to the
westward was Plymouth, Having
passed the lodge successfully, Ellen
raised the blinds Of the carriage and
looked out upon the familiar scenes
flying swiftly by them, for Strathgate
had put the bays into a fast trot and
the light carriage was going forward
at rapid gait. In a short time they
came to the main road Now Ellen
knew the way perfectly. She was
greatly astonished. therefore, to see
Strathgate turning to the right. She
lowered the window and thrust her
head out once more.
MY Lord she called.
Strathgate scarcely checking the
pace of the horses leaned back to
listen.
I'VE wish to go to Portsmouth
$50 you said" returned my lord.
We'll, Portsmouth lies to the left
and you are taking us to the right"
You will be safer at my castle in
Somerset than at Portsmouth, think,
my lady"
But don't wish to go to your cas-.
tle," cried Lady Ellen angrily.
"And do you imagine, my dear Lady
Carrington,' chuckled Strathgate, who
was greatly amused over the situation,
that | have run away with you from
your husbands house to defend you if
need be by sword and pistol from your
husband, for the sake of handing you
over to some American sailor at
Portsmouth
"My Lord" exclaimed Ellen. thun-
derstruck by this open intimation of
the earl's feelings.
"You must have seen that I love
YOU" continued Strathgate coolly
enough, land in short l am taking you
to my own house. l shall know how
to hold you safe there"
You villain" cried Ellen, while
Deborah, overwhelmed with the horror
of this revelation, for the conversation
was quite audible to her, nearly faint
ed within the carriage.
Ellen had been fumbling at her belt
while this was spoken and in fit of
passion she suddenly reached up her
arm and discharged her pistol full at
the earl He had just time, catching
a glimpse of the shining steel of the
barrel in the waning moonlight, to
throw himself aside when the bullet
whistled by his ear. The startled
horses bounded into run at once,
and for few moments Strathgate had
all he could do to control them.
He succeeded in quieting the horses
somewhat, but did not dare to bring
them to slow pace lest Ellen should
escape from the carriage. To attempt
to jump from it, which, indeed, she
had thought upon, was too great risk
to life and limb. and, beside, it in
volved leaving Deborah behind. There |
was one thing she could do, however.
