WRIGHT FLIES
IN FRANCE
AERoPLANE REMAINS IN AIR
NEARLY FOUR MINUTES
SUCCESSFULLY.
PRESS ENTHUSIASTIC
LONGER AND HIGHER FLIGHTS
TO BE MADE DAILY IN THE
TESTS.

Lemans, France.-Tuesday evening
Wilbur Wright of Dayton, Ohio, made
the longest and most successful flight
of the series of aeroplane trials which
he is conducting here, remaining in
the air 3:44. The machine circled the
field three times at the rate of thirty
six miles an hour. On passing the
grand stand Wright gracefully de-
scended until within speaking dis
tance Of the spectators, who wildly
applauded his exhibition of mastery
over the aeroplane, after which he
scared like bird to new heights and
continued his flight until reaching the
starting point, where he finally gently
landed
The aeroplane scared down he
course and then abruptly, almo.
recklessly, swooped and turned and
came majestically down the field fol-
lowing the lines Of trees, after which
1t returned to the front of the grand
stand. With admirable ease and pre-
cision, the aeroplane here descended
to a lower level, seemingly to drop the
spectators a polite aerial courtesy.
Then it rose again and resumed its
trip, ascending zig-zags here and there
until 1t completed three circles of the
course. Finally it came to the ground
at the starting point and Wright again
was received with appaluse. There
was scarcely a vfstage of breeze while
the flight was taking place.
AS evidence of the interest that Is
being tayen in Wright's experiments,
crowd of 5000 persons, including
many women, patiently waited
throughout the day until he should de-
eide to take out his machine for sail.

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 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
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"
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 l don't wish to go to your cas-
tle," cried Lady Ellen angrily.'
And do you imagine, my dear Lady
Darlington" chuckled Strathgate, who
was greatly amused over the situation,
that l 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

My lord." exclaimed Ellen, thun-
derstruck by this open intimation of
the earls feelings.
You must have seen that love
you," continued Strathgate coolly
enough, land in short 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 a fit OF
passion she suddenly reached up her
arm and discharged her pistol full at
the earl. He had just time, catching
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
escape from the carriage. To attempt
to jump from it. which. indeed, she
had thought upon, was too great risk

CHAPTER VII.
My Lord Hears III Tidinas.

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-
ining 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.

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 gen-
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 floated that she could not
sail. If she could get boat, she
could make Portsmouth harbor with
out danger of pursuit.
The dawn was gray in the east.
Ellen judged 1t 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. Nobody was as
yet stirring in the town, although
lights twinkled here and there in the
windows indicating that some Of the
fisherfolk were making ready for their
days labor.
Ellen was too desperately anxious
to get away to stop to bargain with
the little wharf jutting out into the
small inclosed harbor and rapidly &C.
lecting the best of the little vessels
tied there, she hauled in the painter,

And this heroine who had schemed

Deborah consoled her as best she
might, and in turn Ellen assured her
that II Sir Charles really loved her

might go. Who shall say in that as
surance Ellen was not persuading her
self that If Bernard Darlington really

CHAPTER vi.
LADY Ellen Takes EIiuht,

Now, will you tell me your plans?"
began Strathgate as the three descend
ed to the mall
I'VE must have horses and ve-
hicle of some kind" she said
Would not post chaise do?"
There are three of us, my lord"
answered Ellen.
Il see," returned the earl, who was
very much annoyed and put out by
the infiiction of this third party in
what he had fondly hoped would be a
tete-a-tete flight.
There was no help for it, however.
He trusted to fortune to assist him
to dispose of Mistress Deborah later.
Where shall we get this carriage?"
I'm the stables, of course"
She was thoroughly familiar with
the lay of the land and the location
of the stables. The coachman, who
was unmarried. slept in a house by
himself. Entrance was easy since
the door was not locked
Let me do the talking" said
Strathgate. He won't recognize you
If you stay back here in the dark
ness"
Very WELL" assented Ellen as the
earl stepped over to the bed and
roughly shook the coachman, who
opened his eyes to find himself star
ing into the muzzle of pistol.
Lie still. l want to borrow pair
and carriage from your master. I'm
driving far tonight and l want a good
pair. No. you are not to bother about
hitching them up. / simply wished to
tell you the facts SO you won't make
any trouble
He opened his mouth to cry out.
Strathgate showed his pistol barrel
closer to him. truculently remarking:
III you make sound. I'll blow out
your brains. Now. do you under.
stand? l don't intend to steal the
horses. You'll find them well at some
wayside inn 20 miles from here Mean
while, we will have to tie you up and
gag you"
Very well. my lud." returned Hig.
ginbotham. to whom the shining
weapon was powerful persuader .
Which are the best pair for travel
ing. l wonder?" queried the earl as
he, Ellen and Deborah surveyed the
long row of stalls
II have heard my lord say that the
bays were the most reliable horses
he had"
THE bays it'll be, then" said Strath-
gate
He quickly selected the harness, led
out the bays and In a few moments
the two were attached to a light trav-
cling carriage.
Where now" said Strathgate when
all the preparations had been com.
pleted.
I'VE are going to Portsmouth, az
think l told you, my lord"
Strathgate was an expert whip and
he found no difficulty in keeping the
spirited horses going quietly over the
grassy turf which bordered the drive
way and as he had predicted, they got
past the house without making a
sound. But one obstacle remained be-
tween them and freedom-the lodge
keeper and the lodge gate. Ellen had
forgotten 1t until they had gone some
thing like a quarter of a mile through
the park. when she suddenly thrust
her head out Of the window of the
carriage and called It to Strathgate's e
attention.
Let me attend to that" returned
the earl, confidently. II have a plan.
Do you keep close and let the curtains
be drawn"
He drove close to the wall Of the
iodgekeeper's cottage. hammered on
the window with the butt of his whip,
and when that functionary appeared,
Strathgate boldly avowed his name
and title and said that he was riding
forth on a wager with my lord; that
