The road from the lodge gate ran
sor about half mile through the park
until it 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 astonished. therefore, to see
Strathgate turning to the right. She
head out once more.
MY lord!" she called.
Strathgate scarcely checking the
pare of the horses leaned back to
listen.
I'VE wish to go to Portsmouth"
so you said,' returned my lord.
We'll 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, 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,
that l have run away with you from
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"
My lord!" exclaimed Ellen, thun-
derstruck by this open intimation OF
the earl's feelings.
You must have seen that l love
YOU" continued Strathgate coolly
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 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 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

CHAPTER vi.
Lady Ellen Takes Eliuht.

Nov, will you tell me your plans?"
began Strathgate as the three descend
ed to the mall
I'VE must have horses and We
hicle of some kind" she said.
Would not a post chaise do?"
There are three of US, my lord"
answered Ellen.
Il see" returned the earl, who was
very much annoyed and put out by
the infliction of this third party in
what he had fondly hoped would be a
tete-a-tete flight.
There was no help for it. however.
He trusted to fortune to assist him
to dispose of Mistress Deborah later.
Where shall we get this carriage?"
In the stables, of course"
She was thoroughly familiar with
the lay of the land and the location
of the stables. The coachman, who
was unmarried, slept in a house by
himself. Entrance was easy since
the door was not locked,
Let me do the talking" said
Strathgate. "He won't recognize you
if you stay back here in the dark
ness"
Very WE'LL assented Ellen as the
earl stepped over to the bed and
roughly shook the coachman, who
opened his eyes to find himself star
ing into the muzzle of pistol.
Lie still. l want to borrow a pair
and carriage from your master. I'm
driving far tonight and / want a good
pair. No, you are not to bother about
hitching them up. l simply wished to
tell you the facts so you won't make
any trouble"
He opened his mouth to cry out
Strathgate showed his pistol barrel
closer to him. truGulently remarking:
IF you make sound, I'll blow out
your brains. Now, do you under
stand? l don't intend to steal the
wayside inn 20 miles from here. Mean
while, we will have to tie you up and
gag you"
Very well. my lud,' returned Hig-
ginbotham, to whom the shining
weapon was a powerful persuader.
Which are the best pair for travel
ing, ! wonder?" queried the earl as
he, Ellen and Deborah surveyed the
long row of stalls.
81 have heard my lord say that the
bays were the most reliable horses
he had
THE bays it'll be, then" said Strath-
gate.
He quickly selected the harness, led
out the bays and in few moments
the two were attached to light trav-
cling carriage.
Where now?" said Strathgate when
all the preparations had been com
pleted.
I'VE are going to Portsmouth, as l
think / told you, my lord
Strathgate was an expert whip and
ne found no difficulty in keeping the
spirited horses going quietly over the
way and as he had predicted, they got
past the house without making a
sound. But one obstacle remained be-
tween them and freedom-the lodge,
keeper and the lodge gate. Ellen had
forgotten 1t until they had gone some
thing like a quarter of a mile through
the park, when she suddenly thrust
her head out of tie window of the
carriage and called it to Strathgate's
attention.
Let me attend to that" returned
the earl. confidently. Il have plan.
Do you keep close and let the curtains
be drawn"
He drove close to the wall of the
lodgekeeper's cottage. hammered on
the window with the butt of his whip
and when that functionary appeared
Strathgate boldly avowed his name
and title and said that he was riding
forth on wager with my lord: that
he would be back in the morning

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 d.
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 a 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
of the harbor.
Il would Sir Charles Seton were
here!" cried poor Debbe, 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"
Ills gallant gentleman, Debbie,"
returned Ellen. But they are all
that before marriage. My lord of
Darlington l 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 man for her lib
erty bowed her head upon the Puri-
tans shoulder and wept like any ether
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?

CESSFUL FLIGHT ON FRENCH
TESTING GROUNDS.
FLIES Nine MINUTES
ACCIDENT lNTERFERES WITH
BALDWIN'S FIRST SPEED
TEST AT WASHINGTON.

Lemans. France.-The Wright aero
morning which will require several
days and possibly week to repair.
After two superb flights, Wilbu<
Wright essayed a new and daring
method of descent. He stopped the
motor at height of seventy-five feet
and tried to come to earth on gradual
descending glide. The calculations
were not absolutely correct and the
left wing of the aeroplane came in
contact with the ground. This tore
the frame of the machine. Mr.. Wright
was not injured.
Mr. Wright said he did not regard
the accident as serious, and explained
that these We're only incidental eXper-
fences devoted to acquiring complete
mastery of the difficulties of aviation
and the execution of new maneuvers.
Mr. Wright's first flight Thursday
morning eclipsed all his former efforts.
He made seven complete tours of the
field over the tops of the trees. Ac-
cording to the official tine he was in
the air eight minutes and fifty three
seconds. The aeroplanist encountered
a fifteen-mile breeze, but in spite Of
this he displayed greater facility in
maneuvering than he did when there
was a dead calm.
Mr.. Wright's second flight, which
lasted two minutes, was novel one
The aeroplanist scared and descended
at will. executing bewildering turns
Suddenly as approaching the grand
stand the machine lost its speed and
began curving, slowly toward the
earth. All appeared to be well until
1T was tilted to leeward and the deli
cate framework struck the ground
with the result that it was derange6
and torn.
Mr.. Wright calmly stepped out and
examined the wreck. He was quickly
surrounded by anxious friends to
whom he explained that there had
been no accident in the air, but that he
had merely decided to try new de-
scent. He shut off the motor at
height of seventy-five feet and enIeav-
ored to float downward
The real cause of the accident was
the attempt to land exactly on the
spot of his departure. In listing the
planes at the last moment in an at
tempt to continue the sliding, he pulled
the left plane too sharply.
