Darlington and Seton left the hall,

best horse, covered the ground at a
great pace. Naturally he made much
better time than Strathgate had, for
all his furious driving of the bays
1t was half past nine when at a bend
in the road he came upon the over
turned carriage. Here was tangible
evidence that he was on the right
track. He brought his horse to full
stop and dismounted to examine into

The cause Of the accident was obvi

The idea of man being somebody

FIRST STUDY.
The ghost of julius Caesar looked
threateningly at Brutus, the Stabbist:
Brutus sneered.

Not one of Caesars muscles quiv-

Brutus used short, sharp laugh.
You" he said, ION your way!"
Caesar never batted an eyelash.
Brutus pointed to the rear.

Caesar pulled his toga up over his
cold shoulder.
Brutus laughed again, and 1t was
the saucy, triumphant laugh of the
man who lodges in front of woman
and grabs a seat on the elevated rail
road.
The next time we meet you will
not do me as you did me at the base
of Pompey's statue" said the ghost
of Caesar, speaking for the first time
since we began this study.
I'VE will not meet again because

Brutus.
Caesar smiled, but 1t was without

miral.
The old man took them, read them
slowly, folded them up and returned
them to the injured husband
Darlington" he said, you've been
fool"
81 know it," returned the other.
"The idea" said the admiral, "of
your giving a look to that painted old
coquette, when you had such a woman
as Lady Ellen for your wife"
You can't say anything too harsh
for me, admiral"
I'm glad you are awake to the
situation. Now the thing to do Is to
clap on sail in chase, overhaul her,
bring her to, make your apologies
handsomely and fetch her back to
anchorage under convoy. Then we'll
clear out this crew."
There's Seton!" calculated Car
rington. peering through the window.
"Charlie!" he called. Seton turned.
Come here quickly, bear hand"
There was that in Carrington's voice
which indicated some grave emer-
vaulted right through the window.
Lady Carrington's gone" said Car
rington, bluntly. did you know any
thing about it?"
You insult mel" cried Seton,
fiercely. How should l know any
thing about it?"
you've been hanging around her
ev.f since you came here. I've caught
you a dozen times alone together"
Lord Darlington" cried Seton, "Tll

way another moment"
ut was you or Strathgate," contin-
ued Darlington, hotly, "one or the
other of you. but Strathgate's got
ahead of you. He's gone and Lady
Ellen with him."
Great heavens! You can't mean it,"
II shall start after them," said
Sir Charles. "If come across them
first, shall send word to you, and
trust that you'll do the same by me-"
Don't fear" answered Darlington As
the other turned and dashed out of
the room.
You'll find me at Portsmouth, Car
rington," said the old admiral. I'll
be glad to render you any assistance
in my power. You won't fail to call
upon me. will you?"
II will not. VIII you tell the duke
and duchess and the others that they

but that they better be out Of the

What happened in the Forum when

And when julius dropped ON the
marble slab at the base Of the bar he
gasped out: Darn the luck! Why
didn't fall for the buttermilk which
stingeth not, neither does 1t help peo-
pie to bite the dust?"
You won't find these exact words In
history, Bunch, because Julius gasped
them in Latin, and Latin hates to get
itself translated.
Many other times in the ages
passed did buttermilk come to the
surface, 80 you may take 1t from me,
Bunch, that 1t is lucky to drink 1t.
Yes. Bunch, and I'll give you my
solemn word that buttermilk will re-

CHAPTER vII.-continued.

Suddenly Darlington thought of the
door not often used that opened into
the hall from her bedroom. He
cursed himself for fool for not hav-
ing thought of it 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 of.
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, l
shall be on the way to my own land.

her arms he can forget the woman he
sh6med. whom he once loved and who

From the paper as he had torn it
open, an inclosure had fallen. He
stopped and picked it up. 1t was the
cheque on Ellen's bankers for twenty
odd thousand pounds. My lords brain
reeled as he stared from the cheque
to the note. 1t was as If 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

1t was the aged butler coming up
the stairs, white-faced and painting.

Its 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
