CHAPTER VII.
MY Lord Hears III Tidings.

The morning sun was streaming
brightly through the windows when
Darlington glanced at his watch as he
opened his eyes, and was startled to
discover that it was already seven
o'clock. And he had meant to get
up early that day to prepare himself
the better for that interview with his
wife. Hastily arising, he stole soft
ly to the door opening into her bou-
doir, tried the knob gently and found
that the door was locked. He lis
tened, but could hear nothing. lmag-
lining that she was still asleep, he sum-
moned his valet, bathed and dressed
himself with unusual care for the OPP
erations of the day, and then returned
to the door of the boudoir. Again he
knocked, and more loudly. Receiving
no answer, he fairly Numbered upon 1t
with his feet, to be met with the
same silence as before.

WILL STAND PAT
GOVERNMENT TO INFORCE DIS
TILLERY BRANDING REG
ULATIONS.
EXCEPT WHERE ENJOIHED
Collectors Will Limit Observance of
Injunctions to DistilIeries and
Districts Covered by Re-
strainng orders.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The action of
Judge Kohlsaat at Chicago Thursday
in sustaining the. ruling of the court
in the Peoria, ILL.,, district following
that of Judge Severance in the Gin
cinnati case inhibiting the collectors
Of internal revenue from inforcing the
new internal revenue regulations as
to the branding of packages containing
alcohol or spirits will not influence
the officials of the department of JUS
tice to the extent of the complicated
appeals in these cases or in any 9th
ers that may arise. The collectors
have been instructed to strictly OBJ
serve the restraining orders issued by
the courts, but they are to limit their
observance to the particular districts
and the particular distilleries in those
districts covered by the restraining
orders. In the cases of all other dis
tilleries whether in these districts or
outside of them the new regulations
are to be promptly and rigidly in
forced. The appeals will at once be
taken in each of these cases as the
government is determined to prose-
cute them if necessary to the courts
of last resort. In the Cincinnati,
Peoria and Goshen, Ind, districts are
located the largest grain alcohol dis
tilleries in the country and while the
restraining orders so far issued apply
to only one or two distilleries in the
a. hnt ha
distilleries, encouraged by the favor
able action of the courts in the few
cases already brought, also will apply
for injunctions. In that event by far
the greater bulk of spirits of alcohol
made in this country will continue for
the present at least, to be marked as
prescribed in the old regulations
which were rescinded by the depart
ment on July /.

DOUBTFUL OF THE GUARANTEE.
Specific Clause Caused Increase In
Price of Cloth.

The Arabs, and, indeed, all Mos

promises by adding to their word OF
honor the Arabic phrase, Inshallah-
please God" How much meaning 1t
conveys in some lands of the east is
told in the pages of in Moorish Cap
tivity."
The pious proviso is a very useful
formula to the Moors, and is frequent
ly used in making promises that they
have no intention whatever Of keep
ing, as they can then take refuge be-
hind the Almighty when they are
taxed with their breach of faith.
There is a story told of a man who
kept a shop in Gibraltar, and who
knew the ways of the Moor. To him
one day came one of the faithful, who
was DESTROYS of buying some cloth.
On being informed that the price was
two dollars a yard, payment in 60
days, he replied:
"All right. l will take so much and
will pay you in 60 days, Inshallah."

of her pistol up toward his back and
swore she would discharge 1t unless
he instantly turned the carriage about

Ellen did at random shoot through

and Strathgate was unframed. He
was greatly relieved when she dis

SYNOPSIS.
ILLUSTRATIONS BY
RAY WALTERS

The Escapade opens, not in the ro-
nance preceding the marriage of Ellen
Slocum, a Puritan miss, and Lord Car
rington of England but in their life e, after fts
settling in England. The scene is placed
just following the revolution, in Caring
ton castle in England. The Carrington,s
after a house party, engaged in family
tilt, caused by jealousy. Lord CARING
ton and his wife. each made charges OF
faithlessness against the other in con-
tinuation of the quarrel. First Directing
against playing cards with the guests,
Lady Darlington agreed to cut cards with
Lord .strathgate, whose attentions to
Ellen had become sore point with car
rington. The loss of 100000 failed to per
turb her, and her, husband then cut for
rington winning. The incident closed eN-
cept that a liking for each other appar,,
emily arose between Lady Darlington and
Lord Strathgate. Additional attentions
of Lord Darlington to Lady Cecily and
Lord Strathgate to Lady Darlington COM
PEELED the latter to vow, that she would
leave the castle. Preparing to flee, Lady
Darlington and her chum Deborah, an
American girl, met Lord Strathgate at
two a. M, he agreeing to see them safe
ly away.

The road from the lodge gate ran
for about half mile through the park
until 1t joined the main road. Ports
mouth lay to the eastward, to the
westward was Plymouth. Having
passed the lodge successfully, Ellen
raised the blinds of the carriage and
looked out upon the familiar scenes
flying swiftly by them, for Strathgate
had put the bays into fast trot and
the light carriage was going forward
at a rapid gait. In short time they
came to the main road. Now Ellen
knew the way perfectly. She was
greatly astonishad, therefore, to see
Strathgate turning to the right. She
lowered the window and thrust her
head out once more.
my lord!" she called.
Strathgate scarcely checking the
pace of the horses leaned back to
listen.
1--WE wish to go to Portsmouth"
80 you said," returned my lord.
well, Portsmouth lies to the left
and you are taking us to the right"
you will be safer at my castle in
Somerset than at Portsmouth, l think,
my lady"
But don't wish to go to your cas-
tie" cried Lady Ellen angrily.
"And do you imagine, my dear Lady
Darlington" chuckled Strathgate, who
was greatly amused over the situation,

your husbands house to defend you If
need be by sword and pistol from your
husband, for the sake of handing you
over to some American sailor at
Portsmouth,"

derstruck by this open intimation OF
the earls feelings.
You must have seen that l love

enough, land in short / am taking you
to my own house. shall know how
to hold you safe there"
You villain!" cried Ellen, while
Deborah, overwhelmed with the horror
of this revelation, for the conversation
was quite audible to her, nearly faint
ed within the carriage.
Ellen had been fumbling at her belt
while this was spoken and in a fit OF
passion she suddenly reached up her
arm and discharged her pistol full at
the earl. He had just time, catching
a glimpse of the shining steel of the
barrel in the waning moonlight, to
throw himself aside when the bullet
whistled by his ear. The startled
horses bounded into a run at once,
and for a few moments Strathgate had
all he could do to control them.
He succeeded in quieting the horses
somewhat, but did not dare to bring
them to a slow pace lest Ellen should
escape from the carriage. To attempt
to jump from it, which, indeed, she
had thought upon, was too great risk
to life and limb, and, beside, it in
volved leaving Deborah behind. There
was one thing she could do, however.
After some tugging, she got the little

to stop. Ellen and Deborah were
thrown against the front of the car
riage, but beyond a severe shaking and
some bruises, sustained no injuries.
Surmising what had happened. Ell
len tore open the door of the carriage,
seized Deborah by the hand, dragged
her out and ran desperately down the
road. She did not see Strathgate;
she did not know where he was; she
did not care.
With all the strength of her stout
young body she ran down the road.
She did not turn back toward Ports
mouth, for she OWNED that If Strath-
gate recovered consciousness he would
Immediately imagine that she had
gone that way She was unfamiliar
with the part of the country in which
she found herself, but she had gen.
eral idea that the roads in either di-
rection led to the sea, and her hope
was to reach the shore. There was
nothing that floated that she could not
sail. If she could get boat, she
could make Portsmouth harbor with
out danger of pursuit
The dawn was gray in the east.
Ellen judged it was about half after
four o'clock. They had been gone two
hours from the castle and half hour
from the carriage when the road
swerved to the southwark and led from
the forest to little fishing hamlet on
the shore of Lyme bay. Nobody was as
yet stirring in the town, although
lights twinkled here and there in the
windows, indicating that some of the
fisherfolk were making ready for their
days labor.
Ellen was too desperately anxious
to get away to stop to bargain with
anyone for a boat. She ran down to
the little wharf jutting out into the
small inclosed harbor and rapidly Sc
lecting the best of the little vessels
tied there, she hauled in the painter,
drew it alongside the wharf, made
Deborah get aboard, laid five guineas
down on the wharf where the boat had
been secured, in the hope that the
owner of the boat would receive the
money which was full value for the
vessel hoisted the sail, showed away
from the wharf, and under the influ'
ence of gentle breeze ran rapidly out

81 would Sir Charles Seton were
here," cried poor Debbie, who had
not the advantage of Ellen's extern
sive and intimate acquaintance with
the male sex, and who, therefore, did
not share her detestation of it.
"And what is he to thee, child?"
asked Ellen gleefully.
He said he cared very much for
me-" returned Deborah, "yesternight
in the library over the good book of
Master Baxter"
"'Tis a gallant gentleman, Debbie,'
returned Ellen. But they are all
that before marriage. My lord OF
Darlington | once thought was we'll
nigh perfect"
But what did he asked Debbie,
that you leave him thus?'
And this heroine who had schemed
and fought like a man for her lib
erty bowed her head upon the Puri-
tans shoulder and wept like any other
woman.
Deborah consoled her as best she
might, and in turn Ellen assured her
that if Sir Charles really loved her
he would follow her wherever she
might go. Who shall say in that as
surance Ellen was not persuading her
self that if Bernard Darlington really
loved his own wife he would not be
far from Charles Seton on the chase
across the sea?
