SYNOPSIS.

The Escapade opens, not in the ro-
nance preceding the marriage of Ellen
slocum. Puritan miss, and Lord Car
rlngton of England, but in their life after
settling in England. The scene is placed,
lust following the revolution, in Caring
ton castle in England. The Carringtons,
aver house party, engaged in family
ut. caused by jealousy. Lady Caring
Ton agreed to cut cards with Lord Strath-
come a sore point with Darlington. The
loss CT $780, 600 failed to perturb her. and
her husband then cut for his wifes I. o.

prise. The ship was not going to
America apparently.
But it 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 it. Not even
the incentive of unlimited financial
rewards with which Darlington strove
to dazzle them could make them agree
to continue the pursuit. They were
clamorous for putting back to Ports
mouth, seeing plainly that they had
failed. 1t was only the personal au-
thority of Carrington's rank and sta
ton which kept them from summarily
dispossessing him from the helm
They were not quite ready for that
when 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 a sudden sweep of the
helm he sent his own heavier cutter
crashing fair into it. The force with
which he struck the other boat caused

"She did go with me-" continued the
runaway.

she went with you, how did she come
to be on yonder ship while you were
here?"
Strathgate laughed evilly.
If you must know it, my lord, your
wife fled in my company"
Damn you!" cried Darlington.
But Strathgate went on without
needing.
AN accident, broken coach wheel

why you were not on the ship?"

"Not by any means. Well settle

assistance a deputy United States
marshal and from the time he emerged
from the building till his arrest he
was never out of our sight, unless in
his room at the Moser hotel. He
made more than one trip to the es.
tablishment where the work was being
done, and in leaving he would pursue
zig-zag course, as though he feared
being followed. He was waiting for
the completion of the work, and put
in the time sightseeing.
AS the work was now about ready
for delivery, I believed the time was
at hand to take White into custody.
In company with deputy marshal
we went to his hotel and followed him
into the dining-room at dinner time.
After he had taken his seat the dep
uty and sat down at the same table.
AS soon as he had given his order /
slid my chair close to his and said, in
a voice that would attract no attention
at the next table:
you may consider yourself my pris-
oner. It will do you no good to make
q scene"
Great. beads of perspiration stood
on the mans face, but he collected
himself almost instantly and said:
Il don't want a scene; what do you
want me to do?"
"Come with u.s." said.
We all arose quietly and walked out
of the dining-room without attracting
attention. White was taken to the
federal building and subjected to an
informal examination. When L
searched him found documents bear
ing on the milreis transaction and
placing the firm that did the work in
peculiar light. One of these papers
was the formal bid made by the firm,
offering to engrave an exact facsimile
of the front of the 200 milreis bill on
stone for $3.50 and a facsimile of the
back for $210, or facsimiles of front
and back on steel for 1910. Another
discriminating paper was a receipt
from the engraving firm for payment
of the "cigar labels and for a 300
milreis Brazilian bill, to be returned to
White. According to the papers found
on White, he had increased the size
Of his order from 1000 to 5000 sheets
of bills, four bills on sheet. At first
White denied any part in counter
feiting plot, but later broke down and
admitted his guilt He claimed toI

rushed aft, shaking his fist at Caring

that?"

""You know very we'll what l mean.

returned Darlington.

Strathgate.

so far as I could learn the order
left in st. Louis by the mysterious
Mr.. White called for the engraving of
but one plate. If a currency note were
to be produced there would of neces-
sity be two plates, one for the front
and another for the reverse side. The
spokesman for the engraving firm
claimed to take this as evidence that
the plate was to be used for the pur-
pose set forth by the man who had
made the contract, and in this claim
the engraver may have been honest.
I Immediately came to the conclu-
sion that the men who were planning
to initiate the Brazilian currency had
made contract with one firm for the
front plate and impressions printed
from it and with another firm, prob
ably in another city, for the plate
and impressions Of the reverse side.
From the engraving firm learned
that White had reached St. Louis May
% and had asked for a price on the
work he wanted done. He said he
was going to New York and would
return in a few weeks. He kept his
word and closed the negotiations for
the front plate. These negotiations
were under way two weeks before
they were finally closed, and after the
contract had been signed White dis
appeared.
1t would have been an easy matter
at this time to have confiscated the
plate: but it was always the plan of
the service to secure the guilty ones
as we'll as ia destroy the product. I
had description of White from the
engraver with whom he had made the
contract, and, depending on It's being
correct, believed could pick out my
man when he returned to the city.
From this time strict watch was
maintained on the engraving estab-
lishment. This surveillance was re-
warded few weeks later by my see-
ing man answering the description
of Lucius A. White enter the building
of the engravers. Satisfied that he
was the man wanted. called to my

end of this boat and the other. Well

OF the crew, "by meeting you in this
way, but I'll do it, Here!"
He extended one of the pistols.
Il would prefer a CHOICE said
Strathgate, not extending his arm to
take it.
LAS you WILL" returned Darlington,
extending both of them to him. "You
honor me in doubling my good faith"
he remarked as Strathgate took one
of the pistols. "Haight," said Caring
ton, take your station amidship, out
of range, and count three. There
shall be no firing done by either of Us
until after the word three Are you
agreed, Lord Strathgate?"

ping forward.
But Master Haight did not propose
to have his vessel turned into a field
of honor, which would be a field of
blood. He interposed vigorous OBJ
lection.

"Ay, ay,'' returned the others, clos.

ing Wheeler and Drummond sufficient
time to reach the destination first It
seems that after all this planning to
establish the fact that Joseph White
received the package, he was allowed
in some way to take the package from
the express Office without being seen
by the men who had been sent to
watch him commit this very act. Jo-
seph White took them to his home On
his farm near Bloom and placed them
in a bureau drawer. Knowing the
sheets were in his possession, al
though they had not seen him receive
them, the officers went to Whites
home, placed him under arrest and
searched the house.
In the meantime Lucius A. White.
having seen his plan fall miserably
and himself a prisoner, gave the an.
thorities complete confession. While
in Brazil he and his brother had con-
cefved the idea of manufacturing in
the United States large issue Of Bra
lillian currency and returning to that
country to float it. Lucius admitted
that he was the originator of the idea
Lucius A. White, after pleading
guilty, was taken to Texas as a wit
ness against his brother. Lucius was
80 years old at this time and his
brother was a man of so. As I have
said, the elder brother also had stood
in the relation of a father to the
younger man, and the scene in the
Waco courtroom when Lucius was
placed on the stand and told the story
that meant a penitentiary sentence for
his brother was most affecting one.
From the first Lucius had been
much frightened, and when in court
held back none of the details Of the
plot. Joseph listened to the narrative
with apparently no emotion other than
pity for his boyish brother, although
he knew that the witness every
word took him one step nearer prison.
During the progress Of the trial Jo-
seph White said to one of the officers:
Il would rather suffer than have
Lucius suffer; he's only a boy to me. :"
After the evidence was in and
Lucius was being led from the court
room by the deputies, Joseph grasped
him by the land and with tears in his
eyes said:
