railed home by Lady Hawkshaw us he
was about to "blow In" his earnlnffs with

covered that Lady Arabella was a poor
but persistent Rambler, lie talked much
with her cousin Daphne. Lady Araboll.i
Braln showed Iovh fur learning. I.uter she
held Ulyn and Overton prisoners, thus

I'eter arr.uiKed for Ills exehanKe. Daph
ne showed a HklnR for Ulyn, who was
then 21 years of atee. Ulles was released.
Olles and Richard planned elopements.
Sir Peter objected to tho plan to wed
Daphne.
CHAPTER VIII. Continued.
This made me hope that Sir Peter
would not be present, for I thought
our chances of getting oft would ma
terially 'Improve If he were not on the
spot.
The play was to be over at half-past
ten, and it may be Imagined that we
had plenty to do until then. We en
gaged four of the best pairs of nags
In the town. We arranged to pay the
postboys according to the time they
took us over the border, and we felt
In ourselves the strength of Titans, to
overcome whatever resistance might
be offered. Of course we counted on
the surprise, and we determined that
the best disposition to make of Lady
Hawkshaw was for Giles Vernon to
appear suddenly, when the people
were coming out, placo Lndy Ilawk
shaw In her coach, and then make
that bold dash for love and beauty
which we had determined upon. Our
postboys, who were not new to the
perils of elopements, grinned at the
prospect, and were Instructed to re
main near Lady Hawkshaw's coach
and Impede it as much as possible, so
that it might be the last to reach the
door of the theater.
Our arrangements were complete by
eight o'clock, and from that hour until
fen we employed ourselves in dispos
ing of a good supper at the tavern. We
were in a gale of rapture then. It
seemed to us both as If we were In
that happy and exultant mood, when
the enemy is within gun-shot and the
ship is cleared for action; and we
only awaited the signal for victory.
We had some punch, but both Giles
and myself knew enough to be ex
ceedingly careful In attacking it.
"Dicky, my lad," cried Giles, bang
ing me in the back, "this day Is the
anniversary of the day we whipped
the Indomptable and the Xantippe!"
and so it was. "So we shall capture
the Indomptable, in the Lady Arabella,
and we will disable the Xantippe ha!
ha! in my Lady Hawkshaw."
This I thought a very fine Joke in
deed, and we drank to it.
"Picky," began Giles again, wiping
his mouth after tho punch, "I never
thought I could be constant to any
woman, as I have been to Arabella.
Hy heave.i, the whole ecx is so se
ductive that it was the last one I saw
I loved the best. Hut since I knew
that witch of a girl, St. Anthony him
self could not bo more Impervious to
female charms than your humble serv
ant," which was true enough. "And as
for Overton that psalm-singlng devil
I defy him. Give mo but a week,
and he shall seo Arabella hanging
upon me so fondly! Let hlin have her
,-,0,000; 'tis so much dirt and dross
to me. And she may be Lady Vernon
yet. Do you know that old rapscallion
.Sir Thomas Vernon's estate Is In this
part of the country? Though nearer
York than Scarborough. On our re
turn from our honeymoon I have a
great mind to tako my Arabella to
Vernon Court and show her what may
one day be hers."
So he raved and roared out snatches
Bacchus' Juy I'll freely roll,
Deny no pleasure to my soul,
I,et Rarctlus' heallh 'round freely move;
For Haectnm Is the friend of love
And ho Hint will (his toast deny,
Jiown Anionic the dead men let him He,"
And 1 took up the chorus ami
bawled it out;, for I, too, looked for no
more grosses In this life, having Daph
ne for my wife.
So the time passed until ten o'clock;
and at ten o'clock wo sallied forth.
It was a starlit night In early Le
comber. The cold high blue heavens
above us seemed to radiate huppluesR;
,tb, nU'xJjttJ iUrjUyed wjt, Joy;
THE LOVES
of the
LADY
ARABELLA
By
. HOLLY ELLIOT SEAWELL j
wo scarce felt the ground under our
foot.
The two post-chaises awaited us on
the highway, the postboys full of con
fidence; the horses, the best in the
town, were-ager to be off. We Jumped
together In one, and were whirled into
the town, and were at the door of the
playhouse almost before we knew it.
One of our postilions speedily found
the coach which had brought Lady
Hawkshaw there, and, in pursuance of
his instructions, got the coachman ofT
his box to drink In a neighboring
tavern, while one of our postboys
htooo" watch over the horses. Giles
and I remained in the chaise until It
was time for us to make our descent.
At half past ten the play was over,
and then began that hurry and com
motion of the dispersion of a crowd in
tho darkness. Wo heard loud shouts
for Lady Hawkshaw's coach, but the
coachman did not make his appear
ance. There were many ofllcers and
ladies from the garrison, and a num
ber of equipages; but soon they were
driving off, while half a dozen men nt
once were shouting for Lady Hawk
shaw's coach. At last my lady herself
came out of the entrance, followed by
Arabella and Daphne, and at that mo
ment Giles slipped out of the chaise,
and appeared before Lady Hawkshaw
as if he had risen from tho earth. I,
too, was on the ground, but out of
sight.
"Pray, my lady," said he, in his
most gallant manner, and hat in hand,
"allow me to show you to your coach."
"Mr. Vernon!" cried Lady Hawk
shaw, in surprise, "I thought yon
were In London. How came you to
Scarborough?"
"By chatse, madam," he replind, po
litely; "and I hope to see the young
ladies before I leave" (the hypocrite! ).
"Is Sir Peter with you, madam?"
"No, he is not," replied Lady Hawk
shaw, her wrath rising at the idea.
"Had he been with me my coach
would have been awaiting me." And
then turning to Arabella and Daphne,
who were behind her, she said,
sternly:
"Arabella and Daphne, this does not
happen again. Sir Peter conies with
us to the play, after this."
I caught sight, from a coiner be
hind the chaise, of my dear Daphne,
at that moment. She stopped sudden-
"Rather Would I Die Than Marry
Him."
ly, and turned pale and then rosy, and
glanced wildly about her. She knew
I was not far( off.
How Arabella received Giles' sud
den appearance . I never knew, as I
could not see her. Hut In another mo
ment he had placed I ady Hawkshaw,
with tho utmost obsequiousness, in the
coach; then folding up the steps like
magic, be Rlanimed the door, and
shouting to tho coachman, "Drive on!"
the conch rattled off, and tho next mo
ment his arm was around Arabella and
mine was around Daphne, and they
were swept off their feet; and In less
time than it takes to tell it, each of
us was with the Idol of his heart,
whirling off toward Gretna Green, as
fast as four horses to a light chaise
could take us.
Now, what think you, were Daphne's
first words to me?
"Unhand me, Mr. Glyn, or I'll
scream for assistance!"
"My dearest on!" I exclaimed, "you
are now mine. By to-morrow morning
wo shall be over the border, and you
will be my wife."
"An elopement! Gracious heaven!
I never thought of such a thing!" she
replied.,
I might have answered that she bad
not only thought of such a thing, but
talked of it. I refrained, however,
knowing a woman's tongue to be ca
pricious In lis utterances, and. in
stead, assured her that my passion
was such I could no longer bear the
thought of existing without her.
""And do you mean to marry me.
sir, without my guardian's consent?"
sho asked, with much violence.
"I do, Imiwd. my angel, and-1
thought It -was agreed between us."
This was an unfortunate speech, and
she again threatened to scream for as
sistance, but presently remarked that
as there was none to come to her as
sistance, sho would refrain. And then,
having done what propriety required,
she began to relent a little, nnd at hist
lay in my arms, asking me, with tears,
If I would promise her never to love
another, and I told her, with great
sincerity, that I never would, provided
1 got out of 111 at alive.
Deep in our own happiness for nl
last the dour girl admitted that she
was happy to bo mine wo yet thought
of Giles and Arabella, and I would
have got out of tho chaise t each of
Iho three mngo.s, where we madu a
rapid change of horses, except that
Daphne would not let me afraid, she
BiUd iotit I should Jjerecojj.nIje(l AAd
get Into trouble. She afterward told
me it was because she feared we
inlsht be stopped. We did not forget
tho precaution, in our brief halts, to
pay the hostlers well to do some harm
to any pursuing vehicles which might
be after us; and our plan seemed to
bo prospering famously.
So ull night we rattled furiously
along, and at daybreak we crossed the
border, notified by the huzzaing of the
postboys. H was a dank, dismal morn
ing, tho weather having changed dur
ing the night, and we saw that we
had passed the other chaise in the
darkness. It was some distance be
hind, and the horses seemed much
spent. We contiuued on our way to
the house of a blacksmith nt Gretna
Green, who, so our postboys told us,
usually united runaway couples. We
dashed up to his cottage a humble
place, surrounded by a willow hedge
and he, warned by approaching wheels,
came out, half dressed, in tho murky
morning.
"Como to" be marrit?" he cried.
"Step out, then."
I assisted Daphne out of the chaise,
and then, as we stood on the damp
ground, in those squalid surroundings,
looking at each other, the possible
wrong I had done this Innocent girl
suddenly swept over me. And in her
eyes, too, I read the first conscious
ness of having committed on impro
priety, This dirty, unkempt black
smith, the coarse, laughing postboys
this, a way to make the most solemn
and spiritual of all engagements! I
felt an uncomfortable sense of guilt
and shame.
It was only momentary. The moro
depressed she, the more should I sup
port, and therefore I called out cheer
fully: "I take this woman to be my
wedded wife," and such other words
as I recalled of the marriage service
and I said it so heartily and prom
ised so devoutly, removing my hat
when I made my vows, that it heart
ened up Daphne and her response,
so full of faith and love, gave a kind
of holiness to it all. We were two
rash and foolish young people but we
loved each other truly, and we made
our vows solemnly, determined to keep
them. Perhaps that counts for more
in tho eyes of God, than nil else; at
least, we realized the sacrednessof out
vows.
Scarcely was the brief ceremonv
over for ceremony we made It when
the chaise containing Arabella and
Giles drew up. And the sight I saw
I can never forget.
Arabella's face was quite pale, bul
her eyes were blazing. There were?
some drops of blood upon her cheek
they came from her wrists, whicb
Giles held firmly. The door of the
chaise being opened, she stepped out
v.'ililngly, disdaining the assistance
Giles offered her. His fnce, too, wai
very pale, and he looked and moved
like a man In a nightmare. The black
smith grinned broadly; he thought
his galnswere to be Increased for .'
had not forgotten to pay hlni"hand
somely.
Giles seized her hand. "Arabella,"
he cried, desperately, "surely you At
not now mean to threw me over?"
For answer, she gave him a glance
of ineffable hatred. ' x
"This man," she said, turning to mo
"you friend, your Intimate I blusb
for you has dragged me here. Rathei
would I die than marry him. Look!"
Sho held up her wrists, and thej
showed marks of violence.
" Twns to keep her from Jumping
out of the chaise." said Giles, widly
"She would have had me leave her ai
midnight, on the highway alone and
unprotected. Dearest Arabella," he
cried, turning to her, and trying tc
clasp her, "will you not listen to mj
prayer? How can you scorn such
love as mine?" And he was near go
Ing down on his kuees to her, In the

that the most painful thing of all thlt

seemed to have parted with the las'
