CHAPTER xIiI.-continued.

For perhaps an hour the three YES
sels-the ship and the two small
boats-held on, every moment bring
ing the little chasers nearer their
great quarry. The Flying Star was
making no especial effort at speed
Her royals were not yet set. She
was proceeding on her voyage rather
leisurely. in fact, and the others were
in high hope, Darlington. especially.
He thought that he at last had Strath-
gate where he could not escape. and
If Ellen and Deborah were on that
ship. they could not get away, either.
Into this peaceful nautical passage
at arms, suddenly a new factor was
introduced. That, of course, was El-
lens boat. Sheltered by the island
neither Strathgate nor Darlington
had noticed it until 1t suddenly shot
into view. Now Ellen had a better
wind than any OF the other three On
big ship, as a sailor would phrase 1t,
hand over fist. Her little boat was
heeled over until the lee gunwale was
awash and danced over the waves at
a terrific pace.
Darlington saw the boat first. The
reckless way in which She was being
sailed caught his eye. 1t was too far
for him to distinguish who sailed It,
but he could tell that one of them was
a woman. Something made him be-
lieve that 1t might be his wife He
gave the tiller to Haight, went up
forward and stared hard. He would
have given anything for a glass but
there was nothing of that kind in the
fisherman's boat and he had to trust
to his unaided eyesight. The longer
he looked the more sure he became
that 1t was Ellen. His first impulse
was to alter his course and head d.
rectly for her cutter, but he realized
the moment he conceived the design
that he could never intercept her. that
his only chance was to overhaul the
ship for which she was evidently max
ing. He would thus lose no distance.
II she did not intend to try to board
the ship he could chase her after
ward. The sailors on Strathgate's
boat evidently pointed out the situa-
ton to him Just as it had presented
itself to Darlington, so all three held
on.
Ellen had the shortest distance to
sail, and free wind, while the ship
and the other two boats had a hard
beat before them. There was nothing
Darlington could do in fact but hold
his course, yet with what a fever of
impatience he continued his steady
beat to and fro across the harbor.
The only satisfaction he got was that
with every tack he gained percep-
tibly on Strathgate. Indeed the boats
passed each other close enough for
conversation, but Strathgate had moth
ing to say to Darlington and CARING
ton controlled himself waiting for a
convenient opportunity to express him.
self fully and unequivocally.
Both Of them, moreover, were en-
crossed in the other boat. As the
boats converged upon the ship, there
was NO doubt in Carrington's mind,
or in Strathgate's. as to the identity
Of it, passengers. The wind was get
ting stronger as they drew farther out
into the open channel and the rate at
which they were drawing nearer to the
ship grew correspondingly slower.
Darlington gritted his teeth in his
vsxation.
6till he held on. It was such . race
- he had never sailed before. He
held On although he knew that II the
winl insssased, hisyeass was . hope

They were not quite ready for that
wheh Strathgates boat came rushing
down toward them.
1t was Carrington's opportunity.
Baked in his chase OF his wife. he
determined to wreak his vengeance
upon the earl. AS the boat drew close
to his bows, by sudden sweep of the
helm he sent his own heavier cutter
crashing fair into 1t. The force with
which he struck the other boat caused
Strathgates smaller vessel to hang on
the bows of Carrington's boat. There
was no loss of life. for Strathgate,
scarcely worse for the disaster. fol.
lowed by Cooper and the lad. scram-
bled aboard Haights cutter.
White with passion Strathgate
rushed aft, shaking his fist at Caring
ton, who sat laughing bitterly in the
stern sheets. At Strathgate's back
were Cooper, furious over the deliber-
ate wrecking of his boat. and the boy
eager to join in the fray.
by heaven!" cried Strathgate,
fiercely, what did you mean by
that?"
Il should think that my meaning
was obvious even to you" says my
lord, indifferently, although he was
seething with anger to see his adver-
sary within his reach.
II don't know you, SIR" cried Coop
er, shaking his fist, but you sunk my
boat. You done it deliberately. It'll
cost you a matter of ESQ" n
"'Tis cheap at the price," answered
Darlington. Don't worry, my man.
Just pipe down." he continued, as
Cooper opened his mouth to expostu.

be paid for your boat and something
for your trouble"
Payment is not enough to com.

NO" returned Darlington. there's
nothing that I might offer you that
would pay you for what you've done,
you dastard!"
What do you mean?"
You know very well what I mean,
although / confess I have done some
wrong to your powers Of fascination" "
returned Darlington.
And what, pray. may be the ex.
PLANTATION Of that statement" queried
Strathgate.
II thought that you had run away
with my wife; thought 80 yesterday
morning, that 10; but now I see that
she ned from you a. we'll a. from

"It's lie!" cried Strathgats.

less one; held on, although he saw
Ellen's boat in a few moments would
intercept the ship; held on. when he
saw that boat disappear on the lee
side OF the ship: held on when he
saw the ship thrown into the wind
to make half board so that her way
was practically checked; held on when
two figures appeared upon the deck
OF the ship. and one, boyish look
ing youth, walked over to the weather
gangway and stood in full view of the
approaching cutters, waved hand.

II was my lords nature to hold on
doggedly so long as there was the
faintest possibility OF success and be-
yond. And he kept up the chase OF
the big ship even though she suddenly
covered with light canvas and. catch
ing the full force OF the breeze. great

on even though a slant OF the wind
brought the breeze over the quarter
OF the big ship as she bore away on
her course to the eastward. Caring.
ton marked that with sudden sur.
prise. The ship was not going TO
America apparently.
But 1t was evident, even TO the most
sanguine mind, that the game was
up. Strathgate's boat was suddenly
put about. The earl had abandoned
the chase and was going back TO har.
Dor. Darlington was not so easily
daunted. or perhaps he was more
blind to the possibilities. for he strove
to persuade the boatmen to continue
the chase. He would have sailed to
France. or to America. or to the end
of the world, in whatsoever boat he
was on so long as it would float. But
the boatmen were not so minded. They
were not provisioned for such a
cruise nor prepared for 1t. Not even
the incentive OF unlimited financial
rewards with which Darlington strove
To dazzle them could make them agree
