20 her great JOY the wind had settled
and was blowing steady from the
southeast, straight up the channel,
that is.
There are two entrances to Ports
mouth harbor; one between the Isle
Of Wight and the mainland, the So
lent. and the other around the south
ern extremity Of the GENE island.
Ellen had drifted seward during the
night and she decided that her best
course was to round the island and
run up to the harbor with a beam
wind. The breeze was growing strong
er every moment. Indeed, the little
boat keeled over so far that some
times the lee gunwales were peril
ously near the water line.
Presently. Ellen woke up Debbie in
order to trim the ship, bidding her
crawl up to windward. Before Deb
bic took her position, they made such
morning meal as they could on tepid
water and the remains Of the hard
bread, and then settled down for their
run into the harbor. The little boat
was jumping and pitching fearfully,
but Debbie was almost as good a
sailor as Ellen, and she suffered no In
convenience from the wild motion.
+ AS for Ellen. her heart exulted. She
had something to do besides think.
The sailing of the boat required all
her skill and ability. It was no light
task to hold the helm In one hand and

way through the rising a The boat
rode the water like a duck, however,
and did not ship a drop of spray.
They were well past cambridge
when the day broke fair and clear.
Ellen had been so occupied with the
business Of sailing the boat that she
had not paid any attention to what
was astern of her. 1t was Debbie
who about a half hour after sunrise
pointed out another and a larger boat
following in their wake. In the pres
ence Of such a boat at such a time,
there was nothing suspicious, yet
some premonition Of danger caused
Ellen to survey the other vessel, a small
lugger, perhaps a mile astern, with
deep and intense interest. Something
seemed to whisper to her heart that
its presence BODIED no good for the fu-
gitives.
In order to settle the matter, Ellen
suddenly put up the helm and ran
broad off toward the channel The
other boat followed her motions at
once. At this confirmation of her sus-
p%icions, Ellen once more brought her
own cutter on her previous course,
and again the other boat followed the
movements Of the first.
They're pursuing us" said Ellen.

swered Debbie.
And If that were so, it flashed into
Ealen's mind that perhaps the best
hing would be to throw her own boat
up into the wind, doff sail, or at least
just give her steerage way and wait
to be taken back. But Debbie's voice
dispelled that dream.

CHAPTER XII.
The Mad Chase.

Lord Strathgate was early abroad,
which proves the keenness OF his In
terest in the chase. His agents 70
ported to him at daybreak, but had no
news Of their quest. No one remote
ly resembling the fugitives had been
seen during the night. Although he
had breakfasted and day had scarce
ly dawned, Strathgate could not re-
main idle. %Instinctively his foot
steps turned toward the strand. II
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
plenty of stir along the sea wall, and
%Strathgate mingled with the fishermen,
boatmen, sailors and pilots busy about
their various tasks. By the jadicious
expenditure Of shillings and sixpences,
he opened the most stubborn mouths.
But no one had seen the missing pair.
After a half hours Investigation, he
was about to give 1t up as a hopeless
task and return to the inn, when as a
last venture he put his question to a
young fisherman, the latest conner to
the wharf.
Yes, yer honor" replied the man,

 A case of this character came up to the supreme court from Lauderdale county. the style of the case being The Home Life Insurance company vs. Mrs. Laura Hyde.

BODY OF WEBSTER
 FOUND ON TRACK
REMARKS MADE BY DEAD MAN MONDAY LEAD OFFICERS TO BELIEVE THAT HE KILLED HIM. SELF-BURlAL INSTRUCTIONS.

Montgomery, October N.-(Special.) )-The mutilated body of a man supposed to be Norman Webster of Phenix City was found on track No. of the Western of Alabama railroad early this morning, day light revealing to a switching crew the horrible spectacle. His head had been cut off, only shred of skin holding it, and his left arm and shoulder mashed off by the wheels. His right arm was also mangled.
 A saloon man said that the man had been in his place several times and had given the name of Harry Wilson. He had told this man that his mother lived in Phenix City, and that if anything hap pened to him to send the body to her and she would give him money for his trouble. A message from Columbus, Ga, says that Norman Webster lived in that place years ago, that he had a wife whom he had not lived with in five, years and that he was a railroad man. It seems that the man is Webster.
 The dead man Is about 38 years of age. He had been seen about the yards several times, and he was recognized as Webster by w. L. Allen, yardmaster for the Gen. tral of Georgia, for whom he worked at one time. There Is a theory that he took his own life, this being based on the re- mark to the bartender mentioned.
