SYNOPSIS.

The Escapade opens, not in the ro-
nance preceding the marriage Of Ellen
Socum, 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 Caring
ton castle in England The Carrngtons,
after a house party, engaged in a family
tilt caused by jealousy Lord Caring
ton and his wife each made charges Of
faithlessness against the other in con-
tinuation of the quarrel First objecung
against playing cards with the guests,
Lady Darlington agreed to cut cards win
Lord Strathgatc, whose attentions TO
Ellen had become a sore point with Car
rington. The loss of 100000 failed to per
ulrb her, and her husband then cut for
his wifes l. O. u, and his honor, Car
rington winning. The incident closed eX-
cept that a liking for each other appar-
entity arose between Lady Darlington and
Lord Strathgate Additional attentions
OF Lord Darlington to Lady Cecily and
Lord Strathgate to Lady Darlington com
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 o. m, he agreeing to see them safe
ly away. Ellen fed, Strathgate driving
He attempted to take her to his castle,
but she left him stunned in the road
when the carriage met with an accident
She and Debbie then struck out for
Portsmouth, where she intended to sail
for America Hearing news Of Ellen's
fight, Lords Darlington and Seton set
out in pursuit.

CHAPTER VlII.-Continued.

The ground was somewhat soft in
the shadow and footprints were dis
cernible in the low spot where the
carriage had fallen. There were
marks of a womans shoe and mans,
albeit a man of small feet by the
side Of the carriage door and other
marks around the horses From the
trampling and hoof marks Seton con
cuded that the horses must have stood
quiet for some time. He surmised that
the inmates of the carriage had taken
advantage of the stop to get out and
go ahead while Strathgate lay stunned,
After a final search Of the interior
Of the carriage in which he was re-
warded by finding a tiny bowknot Of
scarlet ribbon which he thought he
recognized as one that had trimmed
Mistress Debbie's gown, for 1t was a
color she affected, and which he
tucked carefully away in his pocket,
An hour from the carriage he came
upon bay coach horse struggling by
the wayside, with certain portions of
harness dragging from him, Here was
another mystery. If there had been
two horses, where was the other?
Why was he abandoned in the high
road not soul being near? The
horse permitted him to get close
enough to enable him to see that the
traces which dangled from his sides
had been severed by knife There
could be no doubt that this was one
of Darlington coach horses.

gone of for the days work in their

wharf Refining his horse in on the
shore, Seton hailed him
