CHAPTER XX-Continued.
Lord Hlythedale looked up as Sir
Charles approached.
"Hello, Seton," he said. "You know
Stralhgate, I believe, lie and OarrlnK
ton have had I out here this morn
lllK "
"I understand," Interrupted Sir
Charles.
"Well, Strathgate's gut It terrlhly.
Dr. Nevinson here has Just succeeded
In stanching the blood Will you call
niv head keeper, you'll tlnil him over
beyond the coppice yonder, and we'll
have him bring a shutter anil take
Strathgate up to the house. It'll be
touch and go with him. I'm sure.
Demned unpleasant piece of business
this and so early in the morning!"
"Did >ou find the ladles, Seton?"
came In weak and faltering tones from
Strathgate's pale lips as he recognized
Sir Charles bending over him.
"No," replied Sir Charles, lie hated
the man, but he was terribly down and
perhaps would soon be quite out ami
he could not get up the heart to treat
him cruelly. He had played the fool,
yes. and worse, the knave, but he was
paying for It a high price "No, they
were not on that ship. They had got
ten away somewhere."
"Devilish clever woman, that," fal
tered Slrathgate, "and beautiful. Car
rlngton's a damned lool If he -did—
run tne through You re another, Se
ton, and I'm—"
Hut. what l.ord Slrathgate was In
his own opinion, he did not at that
moment reveal, for the effort at speech
had been too much for lilin. With n
sort oi ghastly chuckle, he fainted
quite away again.
"We have r.o time to lose," said
Nevinson, abruptly We must get
him to the house at once "
"I'll call the keepers myself," said
Hlythedale, who should have done It
at first, as he kn<-w where he had
posted them.
"Fetch me some water. If you will.
Sir diaries," exclaimed the doctor,
"from the brook yonder! Here's a cup."
Sir Charles did as he was bid, and
although he went and came in the
twinkling of an eye and extended to
the surgeon the cup of watei desired
he had time while he filled it to pick
up somethlug else rhat lav h> tin
bank In the soft ooze of the border ol
the brook. He noticed the loot print
of a woman's shoe and b> the side ol
It another little knot of ribbon like
that ho wiut*. a knot of scarlet, the
color Mistress Debbie affected and with
which, he remembered for he had
met Lady Kllen when she came from
the ahlp to Kngland tin- dress she
wore on the ocean, which she had un
douhtedly assumed lor traveling, wac
trimmed It matched that other knot
of scarlet which he had worn next IjIk
h«-art since he took it from the cat

of a trained soldier to whom the habil
of seeking cover has become second
nature The roppire! They were
theie and he woirVI see them; they
should not escape lui now He has
illy ai ranged his eoiti se
In a few moments Hlythedale came
hack with his keepers and a ahutt«fr
from the nearest keeper's house over
which blankets and comforts had been
hastily thrown With Infinite care,
they lifted the prostrate, senseless
Slrathgate upon It and slatted fur
the hall.
"If you'll forgive me, Hlythedale,"
said Sir Charles in answer to an In
vltation to accompany them. "1 have
something to think about and I shall
stay here alone for a few moments."
"Oh. very well, suit yourself," re-
turned Hlythedale, "but when you've
had your thought out, com* t<, the
hall and I'll give you come ikfast
and something to drink to take die
laste of this demned unpleasant busi-
ness out of our mouths, and no early
In the morning, too! Poor Stratli-
gate!"
Seton stood quietly until he had
satisfied himself that the party had
got out of sight and sound. Then he
turned to the coppice.
"Mistress D< borah," he cried softly,
approaching the edge. "Lady Kllen!"
lie listened. He detected a slight
whimpering sound and then a sob.
"Mistress Deborah, I know your
voice," cried Sir Charles forcing his
way through the undergrowth regard-
less of his clothing, and in a moment
he was by the side of Mistress Deb-
bie.
Mistress Debbie had been lying upon
her face. She lifted herself up on her
arms and was staring at Sir Charles
as well as she could stare at anvone
with the tears streaming down her
face. Leaves and bits of mold clung
to her person, her eyes were heavy,
her face was haggard It Is evidence
of the quality of Sir Charles' passion
that, even In this guise, he thought
her beautiful.
He stooped over her Instantly,
caught her in his arms and drew her
to her feet. Mistress Debbie fell
against him. clung to him with an as-
tonishing access of strength and cried
the more.
In his excitement and rapture at
this delightful contact. Sir Charles did
not notice the other darker figure ly-
ing prone near the spot whence he
hud plucked his love. As soon as his
£
"My Lord Is Well?"
eye fell upon her. he quickly lifted his
sweetheart's head and held her from
him a little.
"Is that Lady Kllen? ' he asked.
"Yes," said Debbie contritely, "I
was so glad to see you, 1 forgot—"
"Is she dead?"
"Fainted, I think. You see we saw
all that terrible battle-—"
"We must get her out of here at
once," said Sir Charles, releasing Deb-
orah He stooped down and, although
Kllen was no light burden for any
man, he picked her up and followed
by Debbie forced his way through the
coppice on to the sward which had
already been the scene of such mem-
orable events thai morning He laid
her gently on the grass, bade Debbie
loosen her collar, ran to the brook,
came back with a hat full of water
and splashed it, manlike, uncere-
moniously Into Kllen's face. Then he
drew from his pocket a small 11,-isk
which he happened to have with him,
and forced a few drops of liquor be
tween Lady Ellen's pale Hps Then he
and Deborah fell to chafing her hands.
Presently, with a long sigh Lady Kllen
opened her eyes.
She stared hard at Seton for a mo-
ment and then the color slowly came
hack Into her cheeks. She strove
weakly to rise upon her hand and Deb-
bie slipped her arm behind her and
supported her.
"Where is my lord?'' she asked
faintly "I saw It all. Oh, my tiod,
I saw It all!"
"Lord Carrlngton was not hurt,"
"I know," Inhered Kllen, "Strath-
urate! How horribly he was punished."
she murmured. We have all suffered,
but I must go to my lord now. You
have run me down on a lee shoie.
Sir Charles. Will you take me to
him?"
"Ilenr Lady Carrlngton," said Sir
Charles, tenderly, "I would do so
Von must prepare yourself for anoth
er shock ''
This time Kllen sat bolt upright,
disdaining Deborah's holp and in spite
of her rest raining arm
"My lord If well?" she cried In an
guished tones
Perfectly well," said Sir Charles
'hut ariested
Foi what? For the duel?"
f
"Nay. for disobedience of orders,
for refusing lo rejoin his ship, for—"
"And he was following me," crleif
Lady Kllen with a heavenly smile,
"he cared more for me than orderr,
or—"
And then the ibought of Lady C1
Icily swept Into hei mind aud cloud.-d
her heart.
"Madam," said Seton, "believe me
he cares more for you than anything
under heaven."
"And am I not to go to him m w?"
asked Kllen. "1 see how foollrb I
have been."
"If you yvill forgive me the sugges
J Hon," said Seton, "'tis Carrlngton
who has played the fool and now he's
In a grave situation. Admiral Rep-
liant is his friend, but he Is helpless
My lord must stand a court-martial
and 'tis likely to go hard with him."
"What Is to be done?" asked Kllen,
seelug her new found cup of happiness
about to lie dashed from her lips.
"You must go to the king, tell him
the whole story."
"Who will take me there?" asked
Kllen, after a long pause
"1 will," returned Sir Charles
"Think you that having at last run
you down. I would allow Mistress Deb-
bie out of my sight again? Courage,
madam, we will appeal to his majesty
in person. He hath a kind heart for
all his strange ways, <!od bless him!
We yvill all go together and appeal to
him, but first 1 must get you shelter"
' —and Sir Charles looked nwu'y as he
spoke- "and clothes suitable for your
sex. We will go lo Hlythedale hall."
"Have they taken Lord Slrathgate
there?"
"Ay," returned Sir Charier,, "In a
helpless, fainting condition."
"1 will never go." said Kllen. de-
cidedly, "under any roof in which he
abides, living or dead."
"Very well," snld Sir Charles. "Mis-
tress Deborah shall stay here with
you. 1 will get a carriage somewhere
and we will go to the next posting
station and at the first convenient
stopping place ihe definite arrange-
ments may be completed."
"And you and Debbie, Sir Charles?"
queried Ellen.
"If Mistress Debbie will accept me,"
said Sir Charles, bowing ceremonlons-
| ly, "1 shall be proud to be her hus-
band."
"Oh, Sir Charles," faltered Debbie.
I rising to her feet and .blushing like
the crimson ribbon with which her
| dress was trimmed, "I did not want to
run away n bit," she said as Sir Charles,
utterly oblivious to Lady Kllen, t aught
her iu his arms.
"You found Hsxter's 'Saints' Rest'
a heavenly volume," says my lady,
softly. "May It be peaceful and hap-
py with you to the last page."
"Allien!" assented Sir Charles, cut-
ting short Debbie's ejaculation In the
most approved and delectable way.

At a dinner given by the marquis
of Bute, among the guests was a well-
known duke who, in full Highland

return It to its owner, the snuffbox
could not be found anywhere, though
a very thorough search was made
The duke was specially anxious shout

afterwards the duke again donned the
kilt for another public ceremony—the
first time he had worn it since the
above dinner—and happening to put
his band into his sporran he. to his
utmost astonishment, found there the
snuffbox which had been lost at the
public dinner. Turning to his piper,
the duke snld: "Why, this Is the snuff

Too Much Clothing.
The chief quarrel which hygiene has
with clothing Is that there is too much
of It; garments come down too far, are
too tight, too heavy, too hot. writes Dr
Woods Hutchinson We do much more

selves with clothing and by overln

Cheap Home Made Barometer.
A weather man described the other
day a cheap home-made barometer.
He said It was only necessary to
! take a piece of string about 15 Inches
! long and to soak II several hours In
a strong solution of salt and water.
After being dried the string should
have n light weight tied to one end
and be hung up against a wall, a mark
being made to show where the weight
i reaches.
The barometer Is now complete It
Is as accurate as a $100 Instrument
The weight rises for wet weather and
J falls for fine.

"Father," said the young woman,

"How's tlint ?" questioned her pa.
"Nowadays" continued the girl, "a

Whereupon her fiither resolved to add
