Strathgate. He won't recognize you

He opened his mouth to cry out.

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-

keeper and the lodge gate. Ellen had
forgotten 1t until they had gone some
thing like quarter Of mile through
the park, when she suddenly thrust
her head out of the window of the
carriage and called It to Strathgate's
attention.

the earl, confidently. II have a plan.
