steps turned toward the strand. If
Ellen had arrived during the night,
she would probably have sought the
harbor at once. Although the New
Eagle had sailed, as she would find
to her dismay. there were other ships
in the harbor and upon one Of these
she might have taken refuge. Even
though it was yet early, there was

expenditure of shillings and sixpences,

Tuesday by carrying the state for
George H. Prouty for governor, by 49,
600 votes over James E. Burke, his
Democratic opponent. The plurality
was the smallest in presidential

national victory, but it was larger than
in 1888 and only slightly less than in

about the same.

Art in Spanish Bank Notes.

To baffle the counterfeiters, who are
both numerous and cunning in Madrid,
the Bank of Spain has pursued the
policy Of changing its notes with great
frequency and retiring each issue a.
fast as possible.
The bank has now determined on q
new plan. 1t has placed an order for
a series of notes with an English con-
cern, and 1t will rely for safety upon
a special color process. In addition
the notes are to present pictures Of
wellknown buildings in Spain, exc.
cuted with a perfection that will defy
counterfeiting.

CHAPTER X.
The Bewilderment Of Strathqate.

AS my Lord Darlington rode with
Increasing satisfaction and Sir
Charles Seton sailed in growing
sense of self-congratulation in that he
alone was on the right track, my lord
OF Strathgate was full of bewilder-
ment. Like Darlington, he, too, made
inquiries at every posting station, at
every wayside inn. from every passer-
by. as to the whereabouts of the two
who had escaped him. and everywhere
he had been met by an absolute lack
OF information.
Strathgate, by hard riding, reached
Portsmouth about nightfall. Caring
ton was not to arrive, although he
pressed on all night. until the follow
ing morning. Strathgate was morally
certain that the people he was chas-
ing could not have reached Ports
mouth before him.
Therefore. although he had been up
all the night before and wanted sleep
badly, he determined to make some
Inquiries before he went to bed. He
found, to his great surprise, that the
the ship owned by the countess of
Darlington, had sailed that morning.
So far fortune favored him. for Lady
Ellen would arrive at Portsmouth, he
thought, and find her ship gone.
He enlisted the service of the land
lord and secured number OF men
whom he posted at the various inns,
with instructions to notify him i'm
mediately In case Ellen and Deborah
arrived.
Darlington. plunging along on ex-
hausted, half-foundered horses. the
parative cheerfulness of the morning
and worked himself up into such a
fury that If he had come across the
earl he would probably have killed him
out Of hand without giving him a
chance for defense.
The only one thoroughly satisfied
with the situation was Seton, and even
his dash eastward was stopped, for the
wind, which had held briskly for the
greater part of the day, died out about
nightfall and left the gallant captain
helplessly tossing in the short waves
Of the channel.
To hearten up her young friend.
Ellen put brave face upon the whole
matter. She pointed out to her how
comfortable and free from pursuit. or
Interference, they would be when they
toarded the New Eagle at Portsmouth; ;
what a pleasant voyage they would
have back; and made various other
suggestions to cheer her young com
eade and to fight down the growing dis
may in her own heart. 1t was only by
constantly holding up before herself
the picture of my lord and Lady Cecily
In each others arms in the arbor that
ohs kept herself to the pitch of her
adventure.
She found herself thinking wistfully
Of the happy days Of the past; Of the
many pleasant cruises which they mad
made In these very waters. What 9
gallant, devoted. royal lover he had
been! How she hated Cecily Caring
ton! She looked at herself and tool

not see and wondered how he could
