the earls feelings.
You must have seen that I love
you," continued Strathgate coolly
enough, "and in short l am taking you

Ellen had been fumbling at her belt
while this was spoken and in a 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 a 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

ROULETTE PLAYED WITH SPOOL.
Newsboys' Game Which Has Small
Chances for the Plunqers.

Perhaps it isn't an entirely new
game, but 1t was the first time that
the wayfarer had seen it, says the
New York Sun.
A group Of newsboys were gathered
about another boy who had an i'm
provised top made of q spool pierced
by sharpened skewer. The spool
was so cut that it presented four
square sides, each marked with . let
ter. The letters were P. T. N. and A.
The boy with the top spun it, while
the others made wagers, mostly in
cents. When the top came to rest it
naturally fell on one of the square
sides. :
what does It mean?" asked the
wayfarer.
"Wen," said one of the boys, "ac-
cording to the way the top falls you
! can make or lose the money you put
up. II it drops on P then you put In
sum equal to what you bet for the
fellow who runs the wheel. If it falls
on T then you can take back the
stake you put up.
IF it comes on N that means none.
You lose just what you put up. II
it comes to A then the banker has to
pay all the men who are playing"
The spool roulette wheel did a fine
business for the banker while the on
locker was there.

TIE male sex, and who, therefore, did
not share her detestation of it.
"And what is he to thee, child?"
asked Ellen gleefully.
'He said he cared very much for
me- returned Deborah, "yesternight

Master Baxter"
"'Tis a gallant gentleman, Debbie,"
returned Ellen. But they are all
that before marriage. My lord Of
Darlington I once thought was we'll

"But what did he,' asked Debbie,
that you leave him thus?''
And this heroine who had schemed
and fought like a man for her lib
erty bowed her head upon the Puri-
tan's shoulder and wept like any other
woman.
Deborah consoled her as best she
might, and in turn Ellen assured her
that if Sir Charles really loved her
he would follow her wherever she
might go. Who shall say in that as
surance Ellen was not persuading her
self that if Bernard Darlington really
loved his own wife he would not be
far from Charles Seton on the chase
across the sea?

SYNOPSIS.

The Escapade opens. not in the ro-
nance preceding the marriage Of Ellen
Slocum, 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 earring
ton castle in England: The carrington;s
after house party, engaged in a family
tilt, caused by jealousy. Lord Caring:
ton to- and his wife each made charges OF
faithlessness against the other in con-
tinuation Of the quarrel. First objectine
against PLAYING cards with the guests
Lady Darlington agreed to cut cards with
Lord Strathgate, whose attentions to
ellen had become a sore point with Car
rington. The loss of $1OO,O failed to per-
,,;1 her; and her band then cut 70,
rington winning. The incident closed ex-
cept that a 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 com.
PEELED the latter to VOW that she would
leave the castle. Preparing to flee. Lady
Darlington and her chum Deborah, ar
American girl, met Lord Strathgate al
two a. M, he agreeing to see them safe.

The horses, utterly tired out, were glad
to stop. Ellen and Deborah were
thrown against the front of the car
riage, but beyond severe shaking and
some bruises, sustained no injuries.
Surmising what had happened, Ell
len tore open the door Of the carriage,
seized Deborah by the hand, dragged
her out and ran desperately down the
road. She did not see Strathgate;
she did not know where he was; she
did not care.
With all the strength of her stout
young body she ran down the road.
She did not turn back toward Ports
mouth, for she OWNED that if Strath-
gate recovered consciousness he would
Immediately imagine that she had
gone that way. She was unfamiliar
with the part of the country in which
she found herself, but she had a gen.
eral idea that the reads in either di-
rection led to the sea, and her hope
was to reach the shore. There was
nothing that floated that she could not
sail.
The dawn was gray in the east.
Ellen judged it was about half after
four O'clock They had been gone two
hours from the castle and half hour
from the carriage when the road
swerved to the southwark and led from
the forest to little fishing hamlet on
the shore of Lyme bay. :;
Ellen was too desperately anxious
to get away to stop to bargain with
anyone for boat. She ran down to
the little wharf jutting out into the
small lnclosed harbor and rapidly Sc
lecting the best of the little vessels
tied there, she hauled in the painter,
drew it alongside the wharf, made
Deborah get aboard, laid five guineas
down on the wharf where the boat had
been secured, in the hope that the
owner Of the boat would receive the
money which was full value for the
vessel, hoisted the sail, showed away
from the wharf, and under the inftu-
ence OF gentle breeze ran rapidly out
of the harbor.
Il would Sir Charles Seton were
here!' cried poor Debbie, who had
not the advantage of Ellen's exten.
sive and intimate acquaintance with

CHAPTER VII.
My Lord Hears III Tjdjnus.

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 op.
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.

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
After some tugging, she got the little
window. in the front of the carriage
open and thus got access to Strath-
gates person. She thrust the barrel
of her pistol up toward his back and
swcre she would discharge it unless
he instantly turned the carriage about
in the road.
! Ellen did at random shoot through
the seat, but the bullet was DETECTED
and Strathgate was unframed. He
was greatly relieved when she dis
charged her second weapon without
effect, for he reasoned that it would
be difficult, if not impossible, for her
| to recharge them in the darkness of
the carriage at the pace they were
going, and he therefore felt safe for
the rest of the journey, although he
did nos resume his seat on the box,

This was a fine end, or fine begin
ming of her adventure, thought Lady
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 a selfish one.
Her escape would be discovered in
! short time; his absence would be
noted; the testimony of the coachman,
| of the stable boys. of the lodgekeeper
would be had. 1t would be known
that they had gone away together.
She would be ruined forever.
They had borne themselves gallant
ly. He judged that they had gone at
least 20 miles from Darlington. A few
miles farther on was tavern where
the ladies could be bestowed. The tav.
ern keeper was a friend of his who
would ask no questions.
But fortune was on Lady Caring
toms side that night in more ways
than one. For with a sudden Jolt the
fore-right-wheel of the carriage sank
into deep rut. There was a crash
as the, wheel gaze way at the hub.
Strathgate was hurled violently from
J his seat and lay stunned in the road.

BRANDON, MANITOBA,

at the metropolitan city of
BRANDON, MANITOBA,
well built town of 10000 people,
surrounded by fine and thrifty
farming country, well settled and dis
playing fine crops. There is no va.
cant land around Brandon, but the
city seeks manufacturing establish
ments and wholesale stores, as it is
natural distributing point for large
territory. It has now three railroads
and another one coming. It is the
largest city In Manitoba, outside of
Winnipeg. It is the former home of
Will J. White, the popular representa-.
tive of the Canadian government, who
accompanied the party on this trip.
A nice luncheon was served to the
visiting editors at the fair grounds
adjoining the city, which are we'll i'm
proved with large buildings. Very
successful fairs are held every year.
Just across the Assiniboine river,
which winds through a picturesque
valley at the foot of the city, is the
large experimental farm and Indian
industrial school, which was visited
through the courtesy of the city in
providing carriages. This farm has
been in operation some eighteen years
and is spot of beauty, presenting
splendid demonstrations of the won
derful agricultural possibilities of
this rich section of country.
PORTAGE Ia PRAIRIE.
This is the last town visited by the
party before reaching Winnipeg, and
has 5000 population. It has a well
settled country around it. Carriage
drives to it's popular resort, Island
Park, also to the fair grounds, were
taken, followed by a course dinner
at the opera house. Portage is fine
little city, well improved, and one of
the agricultural gems Of the dominion.
WINNIPEG, THE METROPOLIS.
From Portage to Winnipeg is about
go miles, where we arrived about mid.
night, and breakfasted at the Royal
Alexandra. The city had arranged
for auto and street car tours over the

itors carriage drive around the city,
which was greatly enjoyed. The
country about Calgary is open prairie,
and has long been a cattle ranching
district. Now grain raising has been
taken up extensively, especially the
raising of winter wheat, which seems
to do we'll in southern Alberta.
eANFF AND LAGGAN.
Leaving Calgary Wednesday even.
ing, the train heads west for the run
to Laggan, ZIG miles west of Calgary,
in the heart of the Rockies. Laggan
was reached at 8 o'clock Thursday
morning, where carriages and saddle
horses were in readiness to take the
party to the hotel three miles away,
built on the shore Of Lake Louise, a
most charming lake over two miles in
diameter, and $3.50 feet above sea
level. Still higher up and within a
mile or two, are Mirror lake and Lake
Agnes, the latter 1000 feet above the
hotel. Towering snow clad noun
tains surround these lakes, making a
picture of sublime grandeur never to
be forgotten. Back to the cars again
by II o'clock, we were off for Banff,
IS miles east, in time for lunch. The
Canadian Pacific has large and fine
hotel here. The mountain scenery is
beautiful. The Bow river flows
through the place, with tumbling rap
ids just alongside the hotel. Here we
took luncheon and dinner, and spent
the afternoon in drives and sight-see-
ing. Banff and Laggan are visited by
thousands of tourists every year, as
the mountain scenery rivals that of
Switzerland in rugged grandeur.
HIGH RIVER, MCLEOD, LETH.
BRIDGE.
Leaving Banfi in the evening we
returned to Calgary, and from there
went south through High River and
on to Mcleod. thence east to Leth.
