My Lord Hears III Tidings.

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. lmag-
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 thundered upon it
with his feet, to be met with the
same silence as before.

The Harrison times., 1908-10-31

The road from the lodge gate ran
for about half a 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 g 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.
"We wish to go to Portsmouth"
so 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-
tie" cried Lady Ellen angrily.
And do you imagine, my dear Lady
Carrington,' chuckled Strathgate, who
was greatly amused over the situation,

your husbands house to defend you If

derstruck by this open intimation of
the earls feelings,

enough, "and in short l am taking you
to my own house. | 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 fumblng 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 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 a 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, 1t in
volved leaving Deborah behind. There
was one thing she could do, however.
After some tugging, she got the little

"There are three of us, my lord

She was thoroughly familiar with

to stop. Ellen and Deborah were
thrown against the front Of the car
riage, but beyond a severe shaking and
some bruises, sustained no injuries.
Surmising what had happened, FL
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 gem
eral idea that the roads in either di-
rection led TO the sea, and her hope
was to reach the shore. There was
nothing that foated that she could not
sail. If she could get a boat, she
could make Portsmouth harbor with

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 a half hour
from the carriage when the road
swerved to the southwark and led from
the forest to a little fishing hamlet on
the shore of Lyme bay. Nobody was as
yet stirring in the town, although
lights twinkled here and there in the
windows, indicating that some Of the
hsherfolk were making ready for their
days labor.
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 inclosed 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 Ave 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 in1u.

not the advantage Of Ellens exten'

the male sex, and who, therefore, did
not share her detestation of it.

He said he cared very much for

But what did he" asked Debbie,
that you leave him thus?"
And this heroine who had schemed
and fought like u 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 so. 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?

Twelve inches OF dog is the limit at

Too much dog in the past has caused

them that his dog was not an ordinary
dog. Far be il. 1t was simply in com

Hey, Where are you going with that

Nonsense, returned Mr.. Titles "This

any more show Of getting into this house
than a live Teddy bear-if 1t was over

Mr. TILES took the hint and led his dog
away reluctantly TO the Fifty third
street institution.
When Mr.. TILES returned to the hotel
