THE RUNAWAYS.
Tho snuio year that Lndy Jnno Jin gnus
E resented her beautiful daughter Adeln,
ord Glencoro wna tho match of tho son
eon. Just of ngo, of nn old family, with
vast iosseasloii3 nnd n heavy rent roll,
welled by a long minority, tho Instant
tho hawk liko oyo of Lndy Jnno fell on
tho young peer a thrill of joy assured
hor that thero stood tho husband Provl
denco had provided for Adela.
"You think It is all right, mother, do
Sou?" Adela ventured to Bay, growing a
ttlo uneasy when tho end of tho season
draw near, and Lord Glcncoro had novor
addressed a nlnglo remark to her which
could by nny possibility bo construed Into
love,
"Perfectly right, dear. Tho society
papers liavo coupled your names to
gether. An approaching marrhgo has
inoro than onco been hinted at, nnd, na a
matter of course now wherever pooplo
ask us ho Is asked."
"Well, but "
"Dear child, you may leavo it to inc.
Don't you think bo?" And nn expression
of mild reproach wan shot from tho ma
ternal oyo. "Do you fanoy that If I saw
tho slighest shadow of uncertainty I
should accept Sir Jocclyn'a Invitation for
Goodwood, knowing that Glcncoro won't
bo thero?"
"Won't ho? Why, where Is ho go
ing?" "Nowhcro; I ascertained that, you may
bo euro. Ho Is obliged to remain In town.
There'll not bo a soul left for him to speak
to. Somo business with his lawyer, ho
aid and said it in a very pointed way,
too."
"Stammering and getting fiery red,"
said tho would bo flauco disdainfully.
Lady Jano shook her head. "Novcr
mind tho manner; it is tho moaning wo
aro concerned in. IIo joins us immedi
ately after nt Thorndean. Thero you
will boo that everything will bo satisfac
torily arranged. Lady Somcrton has
such a happy way of letting young peo
ple bo thrown together, and from tho
first -1 liar socmod to bo very, much
guided by her,"
Adela embraced her mother with
graceful ciTusion.
"How clover you aro!" sho said ad
miringly; "you hnvo managed beauti
fully, for I did want to enjoy Goodwood
tree. When I am a countess, mamma,
it shall bo very nlco for you."
IL
Certainly Goodwood week had left
London wonderfully empty. You did
not meet a bouI you know.
Lord Glcncoro repeated this fact to
himself most cheerily aa ho walked along
Piccadilly with a heart and stop as light
aa a bird's.
It seems on Impossible circumstanco
that a 6talwart young giant, standing
over six feet In his stockings, his own
master, ablo to do what ho liked and go
whero ho chose, should bo In abject
throlldom to a plain littlo middlo agod
woman who was bent on compelling
him to marry her daughter. "And I
feel as If I should bo mado to do It,
too," poor Glcncoro hod said of late,
driven Into his last corner by tho con
gratulations of all Lady Jono'a friends,
to Bay nothing of theso horrid paragraphs
in thoso horrid papers; somo of which
had gone so far as to mention an early
dato being fixed "for tho marriago of a
lovely dobutanto of this season and a
young earl recently of age, whoso an
cestors camo over with tho Conquerer."
If ho could but pluck upcouragoto
say ho did not mean anything, novcr
had meant anything, never meant to
mean anything that he was quite happy
as ho was that ho never intended to
marry any ono what would ho not givol
Full of a wild schomo which had lately
como to him, that ho would run oiT to
somo far distant country, ho was map
ping out tho details as ho walked along,
so occupied tliat ho forgot how far ho
had come, until within a sudden start ho
pulled himsolf up. He was passing tho
Albert Hall, closo to that pleasant row of
houses In ono of which lived Lady Jano,
Tho knowledge that ho could walk
boldly by and fling a look of deflanco at
tho papered windows and closed shut
ters, as ho had dono tho day beforo, sent
a thrill of satisfaction through tho young
man. Ho draw himself up and turned
his head to when, oh, agony I exactly
as ho was opposlto to it tho door opened
and a voico called out "Glencorol"
"Freddy! Is It your Lord Glencore
managed to say, seeing ho was addressed
by a weasel faced young gentleman be
tween 10 and 17. "Why, how camo you
here? Is-s-s your mother Lady Jano
with your
Freddy's eyes wcro apparently so edu
cated that in order to give full expression
to one ho was forced to shut tho other,
and regarding Lord Glcncoro through
his single optic ho said, "You bet if she
was, 1 shouldn't bo hero,"
Glencore's heart seemed restored to Its
native position. "I'm very glad to see
Sou," ho said, closing his hand over the
ttlo fin Freddy had extended to him:
"it's qujte a surprise to me."
"Here; I say," said tho ostuto Freddy
significantly, "what's up? How is it you
ain't down there with them?"
Is-
thero Is somo uuilnoM for mo."
Freddy's oycllil went down llko a cover
of n box,
"Exactly! Just so," liosnld, nlrlly, put
ting his thumbs Into his nrmliolcs. "My
cauo Is nil over. I'm nt my tutor's, you
sco, so iilciwo to remember that It isn't
pomlnlo for you to liavo scon mo."
aicncoro laughed cheerily. "All right,"
ho snldt "you nro qulto stifo with mo
hut whnt on enrth nro you up to?"
This question seemed prompted by tho
sight of n nondescript dog cart just led
np to tho door. "Aro you nil by your
self hero?"
"Thoro's Unrrls, my old nurse, nnd
Jim, her hushnud our butler ho used to
1)0 and Peggy. You know Peg, don't
your
"Peg! No, I don't think I do."
"I say," exclaimed Freddy, "Isn't It a
beastly Bhamo tho way thoy always try
to Bhun her? and slio'a just as good as
nnybody. Her father was my father's
eldest son, only o married his tutor's
daughter, nnd my lady set tho governor
on to cut up rough about It, So tho poor
chap got tho kick out, and then ho died,
and so did his wlfo, nnd a jolly good
thing for mo, too, or I would liavo had
to sing small Only watt till I nm mas
ter, though, nnd If thoy try It on with
Peggy then, I'll let them know. Sho's
older than I nm, but nil tho same, I'm
hor undo, and I say you'll bo her undo,
too, If you marry Adda, and you'ro go
ing to, ain't you?
Lord Glcncoro blushed furiously, and
Freddy, taking sllonco for consent, added
with n snort of Biipromo content, "It's a
jolly good thing for her I ain't you.
Catch mo marrying Addat Oh yes,
rathcrl"
Not desirous of pursuing this toplo fur
ther, Lord Glcncoro put n question.
"You'ro not going to drivo that," ho
said, nodding toward tho horso, a most
vicious looking scrow, "nro you?"
"Why not? IIo's n real good ono to
go. Como in and sco ub Htart; it's capital
fun. Wo'd a regular crowd round us
yesterday. Any ono clso but Peg would
havo been frightened to death."
Incited by curiosity Lord Glcncoro
obeyed Frcddy'fl Invitation.
"Wo keep all tho front well shut,"
said Freddy, as ho marshaled his wny to
a den nt tho fnr end of tlio narrow hall.
Passing tho stairs, ho gavo vent .to n
Bhrill whlstlo, answered by a similar
ono whicli might havo boon taken as its
echo.
"Ain't you ready?" was piped up from
below.
"Coining," nnBworcd a girl's voico,
and at tho samo instant with tho word.
down tho flight of stairs, flop on tho
mat, camo n ilguro which, through tho
cloud of dust sent up, Lord Glcncoro
surmised must bo Peggy.
"I'm so sorry. I thought it was only
Freddy 1" nnd then, better ablo to sco
who stood thero, sho gavo vent to an
agonized, "Oh, Lord Glencorol" nnd
Boomed unablo to say more,
Freddy, who was enjoying her con
fusion to tho full, hero burst In with,
"Don't mind him; ho'a squaro enough,
ain't you?"
"Certainly'Iam," dnd'then turning to
Peggy, ho sold, "I'vo novcr had tlio
pleasuro of seeing you hero, havo I?"
"No."
"But you'vo scon him, haven't you,
Peg? And onco don't you remember
when tho door opened and I scuttled oil
and your frock caught mid you,tuinblod
down? Oh, I Bay, what n camel It was
a shavo wo weren't caught that time,"
Poor Peggy's faco was llko a beet root.
"Thoro wasn't anything to sco," sho
said to Lord Glcncoro, reassuringly. "It
really wasn't for that wo looked, but I
I was bo curious to know what you was
llko," and bIio gesticulated violently to
Freddy behind Lord Glcncoro s lock.
"What's tho harm?" responded tho
young man, cxpoBtulatlvcly. "You'd
do tho samo if you wnro locked off Into
acock loft of a garret, wouldn't you?
That's what they do with her stick her
anywhero out of tho way."
"No, Freddy, no," Lord Glcncoro from
out of tho corner of his oyes saw her Bay,
and, hoping to change tho conversation,
ho Bald:
"I'm afraid I'm making you loso tho
best of tho day. I camo In to sco you
start," Perhaps Peggy fathomed his
kind effort, for sho looked at hiin fairly
for tho first timo.
"Yes!" and bIio gavo him a littlo shy
smllo; "did you?"
"It's very pleasant, a drlvo out of
town, now. Whoro nro you going?"
"To Richmond park," answered tho
lrrcprcssiblo Freddy. "Would you llko
to go? Wo'll tako you; thcro's heaps of
room behind. Why why shouldn't he?"
Tills was evidently in answer to inoro
pantomlmo from Peggy.
"You don't want mo would rather I
didn't gor
Lord Glcncoro liad turned suddenly
round and was asking this question of
Mia rramiT irlrl . ".
W..W J V..Q (,
"Oh, no; it Isn't that, only I'm frald"
and hero Peggy stopped an J blushed fu
riously. For a wonder Gloucoro did not
catch tho complaint, Quito persuasively
ho saidt "But do let met it's what I
should so enjoy."
There was an Instant's pause and then
they all began laughing; and good fel
lowship being thus established, oouio
twenty minutes later the three, Loid
Glencoro behind, Freddy driving and
Peggy by his sldo, wero on tho road to
Richmond.
m.
It might bo tedious to retail all the
folly that fell from the lips of the trio as
under Freddy's guidance they pursued
their way. Their united yearn did not
mako up tho sober age of 00, nnd they
had tho spirits of schoolboys out for a
holiday. Lord Glcncoro had never felt
so much at his ease beforo: none of thoso
who in society know him would have
recognized him as tho same shy indi
vidual Tho hours flow like minutes. It
was 5 o'clock when they thought It 8;
and then to have looked at tho tuno
would not have occurred to nnybody,
only that Peggy, heaving a tremendous
sigh, had supposed it would soon bo time
to think of returning home,
Tho horse that was so good at going,
wo havo omitted to state, had, at a cer
"Well, I couldn't 1 linvo thnt
tain small hostelry, "Ooat and Compass"
namo, shown signs of rebellion Stir
from that door ho would not, nnd Lord
Glcncoro, to cut short tho dlflkulty, had
proposed that they should leavo tho
bruto thero to get n feed, whllo thoy took
a stroll In thu park.
Returning from this walk thoy passed
tho "Star and Garter."
"I Bay, n dinner In thero wouldn't 1m
half bad fun," said Freddy.
"Oh, I don't think bo," said Glcncoro.
"Why, havo you over been there?"
"Yes, I dined thero twico this season
with Lady Jnno nnd your Bister."
And a chill ran through tho young man
as ho recalled tho dreariness of thoso
solemn ordeals.
"Ohl"sald Freddy, drawing In his back
as If about to succumb, whllo Peggy
burst out Inughlng.
A bright inspiration camo suddenly to
Glcncoro.
"Why shouldn't wo stop hero now," ho
said, havo dinner, nnd go homo after?"
Freddy and Peggy camo ton standstill,
absolutely dumb with tho bjfc'lancy of
thoproiKwItlon.
"That's what wo'll do," continued tho
cnthusiastio Glcncoro; nnd ho mado ns If
to turn In at tho door, but Peggy stopped
him.
"I don't think wo can," as sho looked
at Freddy significantly;"
"No," came tho answer n trlflo crest
fallen. "I expect they wouldn't stand
tick In there," was ndiusd by way of ex
planation. "That Isn't of any consoquenco to
you," exclaimed Glcncoro. "It's ns my
guosta I invito you. Think how many
times your mother has entertained me.
"Oh, I nm not proud," laughed tho do
lighted Freddy. "Isn't this ilrst rate,
Peg. Como on."
But Peggy still hesitated.
"I don't know whether I ought
whether it's quite right with you." nnd
though her faco was turned to both, her
oyes wero fixed on Glcncoro.
"And I your undo that Is," oxclaimcd
Freddy, "and ho going to bo. Shut up,
do."
And, considering this speech to bo
conclusive, Freddy cut short further dis
cussion by nt onco turning into tho hotel
IV.
Well, if nny dinner over was a success
that ono was. What thev had or how
tho courses camo not ono of thorn know,
but, to quoto Freddy, everything was
Al. Freddy magnanimously insisted
that going homo ho would sit behind
nud leavo tho ribbons to bo handled by
Glcncoro,
Tho clock struck 0 beforo they wcro
fairly oil, nnd then, Peggy exclaiming
at tho latencssof tho hour, UlencoroBnld:
"But it won't matter much, will It?"
"No." Bald Peggy, a trlllo bitterly.
"Harris knows I'll look after Freddy,
nnd thcro's no ono to bother about what
becomes of mo,"
"You havo neither father nor mother,
havo you?"
Glcncoro put tho question gently, and,
not waiting for her answer, went on to
tell her that ho too had lost his parents
when n child and was, liko her, lonely,
with no ono to euro for him.
"Yes," sho said, "but you'ro a man
with lots of money, nnd I'm poor and
dependent; and then it's horrid to bo a
f;irl. Evcrslnco 1 can remember I'vo
icard nothing ol?o hut all I owo to
everybody, as if it was my fault that I
owo anything to them. I can't help
having been bom. Hero I am, and until
I dio hero I must stay. No, dependent,
though. , I'vo only waited to bo taught
something. I'vo had to owo that much
to grandmamma,"
Lord Glcncoro remained silent, and
thinking that probably her troubles wero
of no interest to him, Peggy changed
tho subject. Directing his attention to
Freddy, now sllontly sleeping, sho man
aged to prop tho lad up into a more
comfortable position, and assented to
Lord Glencore's remark that ho did not
seem llko tho rest of tho family.
Then Bilcnco fell on them, nnd for n
tlmo not a word was siwkcn. Suddenly,
as if from out of what sho was think
ing. Peggy said abruptly: ,
"Aro you very much In lovo with
Adda?"
"I! I'm not In lovo with her at nil."
"But you'ro going to marry her?"
"Who says I sun? '
"Why, overybody; and grandmamma,
I knows, means you to."
"I see, nnd that makes you think it
qulto certain?"
Peggy laughed contemptuously. "It
wouldn't mako it certain with mo," sho
said, "but men seem different; what sho
chooses, they do. Oh, I haven't patienco
to think of It," and tho great brown oyes
sho turned on Glencoro sparkled indig
nantly. "Why, do you think unless I
loved somebody dearly, I'd marry him to
filcaso grandmamma? Never! Sho knows
hat as well as I do. Sho may 111 treat
mo, but sho can't mako mo do what I
won't: I'd dio rather. Shall 1 tell you
what I mean to do?" sho was speaking
very fast and excitedly "I mean to run
away. You'll promlso not to tell any ono,
won t you? I mean to go very soon now
If I can, beforo thoy como homo. Other
girls earn their own livings, 60 why
shouldn't I? I'm not stupid, and I'm
awfully 6trong."
"But whoro will you go?"
"Oh, I know, but that I don't mean to
tell. Perhaps I oughtn't to havo said n
word about it to you. but it sllnned out.
nnd you won't betray mo. will you? Most
Xt nil, don't brcatho a word to Adda; sho
liatts mo, and well, thero s no uso dis

Which I never shall bo," interrupted
Lord Qldwcoro decidedly.
Peggy faced
round andvookod her surprise at him.
, mm,

Don't laMc llko
that at mo.
hastily; "I yiean what I say.
"You do? v Oh, I am awfully sorry."
"For htf r for me?"
"I don't ,vink I was thinking of cither
of you. it was for myself there's so
few ever earo to bo kind to me,"
"And you think I should be?"
Peggy didn't trust herself to speak,
but her head nodded assent,"
"Let mo tell n secret to you, Peggy"
ho qulto unconsciously called her by
name, "Doyou know that I mean to run
away to?"
"Youl"
"Yes: only I want somebody to run
away with mo. Can you guess why?"
"No."
"Somebody I'vo soon today."
"Today I"
The eyes of eacli looked Into tho other's
questioulngly
"Can't you guess who?"
Lord Glencore's voico camo tremu
lously, "Oh. you know," ho said,"I sec you do."
"Me! ' spoke the word breathlessly.
" Yes, you. Y i will go, won't you?
You'vo no one to -aro for you, and I'vo
no ono tu-caro to.' me, why shouldn't
wo care for each other? I'd try and make

"In lime? Why, 1 llko you now."
You do? Oh. Peggy!"

Ix'lwovii them tho two conveyed what It

'I niiv, what a chouso for Adda!"
mated Freddy delightedly; "but hero,

"Oitnlnly: of course thnt's what wo
mean to do. '
"Ho we? ' Bald Peggy: "oh, my! why I
never thought of that!"
"Didn't you?" said Freddy, nssumlng
the air of a Mentor, "but I did though.
You mum bo Lndy Glcncoro before I sco
the hint of you."
'Hut. Freddy, think of grandmamma:
you would get Into tho most awful

"Stuff nnd rubblshl" nnd Freddy snnp

never four. How can I help It if, while
I am i unitizing with my tutor, you choose
to bolt with Glcncoro?
V.
Arrived nt Thorndean, happy and un
8us:ectlng, Lady Janp nnd her daughter
waited for Lord Glcncoro In vain. Even
to the "dear Lady Somcrton" not n lino
had como from him. As ovcry ono said,
it was so strange, bo Incomprehensible,
"You don't think anything could havo
happened to him, Lady Jancr
With a bravo nplrit worthy of n hotter
woman, Lndy Jano nnBworcd that bIio
did not feel anxious In tho least. Lord
Glcncoro had spoken to her of having
sovoral most Important things to scttlo,
and naturally at times such ns thoso
Lady Jano wnB forced Into ii littlo vague
ness of speech n thousand things crop
ped up, which ono hnd novcr dreamed
of before Still her heart legan to have
misgivings, nnd her courage to 6ink a
littlo lower, when all was revived by a
paragraph In ono of tho papers inform
ing all whom It did not concern that
Messrs. nulllon & Gold had been in
trusted with the family jewels by Lord
Glencore with tlio view of ascertaining
which had best bo reset to suit their fu
ture lovely owner.
"Addal Lady Jano slcnalcd to her
daughter to follow her, and In her own
room sho painted out tho notice,
"Mother! (Mi, 1 nm so glad. I kept
on thinking of those jewels. Everybody
says the diamonds aro moro than lovely.
"It's inoro than a fortnight now," said
Adela, discontentedly,
Lndy Jano sighed. "Thero seems to
bo nothing else for me than worry."
"What more?"
"Oh, well, I didn't want to bother you,
and if everything else was going right 1
shouldn't let this troublo inc. It a nlcttcr
I had from Harris. Sho says that Peggy,
If you pleaso, lias chosen to run away
from home, Harris hopes I won't worry
myself, or blame her. as tho young lady
has had it in her mind for somo tlmo.
That's gratitude you know after all I've
dono for her."
"I'm suro I should let her be. She'll
novcr come to any good end. that girl.
Haven't I always said so?"
"My dear." said Lady Jano, "I must go
to town. I dare say Lady Somcrton will
guess why, although I shall Invent some
reason to give her. 1 fear I was India
crcot in losing sight of this young man.
But don't (k'sjmlr; nothing beyond rem
edy. If I can only And out whero ho Is,
rest assured this will never hnppcn
again.
"I always thought you wero too san
guine," said Adda, ready to vent her dis
pleasure on everybody. "I don't bo
llovo he ever wanted to marry mo, only
you would have It ho did."
Lady Jano went to London, was absent
a week, nnd then returned a sadder but
not n wiser woman. Not a traco could
bIio find of Glencoro, not a word had she
heard of him. ,
"And Peggy?" bald Adda: "what about
her?"
"Not n syllable. Sho had been gono a
week and moro beforo Harris wroto to
mo. It 6ecms, however, a planned thing.
Sho had had it in her mind nt least a
year."
"I wonder," said Adda, "will ho over
turn up again?" Her thoughts had re
verted to Lend Glencore
"Of coun.0 ho will," said Lady Jane
decidedly; "and wo must profit by the
lesson wo havo learned from him. Now,
my, dear, gooff and tell Stevens to como
to mo. I have a trying ordeal lcforo mo
to answer all the (iuetioiu that the people
hero will put. I heard them In tits of
laughter over their uftemoou tea, 1
begged Lady Somerton to oxcuso mo un
til dinner. 1 really didn't feel as If 1
could face them then, Ah, Adda," and
Lady Jano nodded her head mournfully,
"perhaps burnt day, when ypu havo
daughters ot your own. you may know.
Talk of martyrs! You have only to look
at mothers."
That evening, when Lady Jano Joined
tho guests assembled in the drawing
room, sho noticed that every one looked
at her with un air of inquiry. It had
been agreed, at tho request of the hostess,
that not a word on the subject upper
most in tho minds of all of them should
bo mentioned until after dinner. Poor
Lndy Jano, sitting in a fool's paradiso,
actually fancied tho object of her nb
senco hnd lost its interest to everybody.
Alas! a mine was about to cxplodo, and
Lady Somcrton, nettled at tho want of
contidenco shown, was ho ono to sot tho
mutclu Advancing to tho comfortablo
armchair In which, tho ladies having re
turned to tho drawing room, her smiling
guest was reclining, sho said:
"Of coursu, dear Lady Jano, you havo
seen tlio announcement in Tho Times of
today;
"No, indeed; I waited until I got here
to look at the paper," and sho stretched
out her hand for ft, languidly. Anything
of Interest?"
"To you, yes, of great interest, I should
say. Listen. 'On tho 12th of September
at St. Simon's church, Battlesea, Peggy,
only child of tlio lato Wynford Mugnus,
Esq., to Harold William, tenth earl of
Glencore."
Adda gavo a bound,
" Peggy 1" sho shrieked. "Mother? Oh!"
But Lady Jano interrupted her. With
a supremo effort tho modern martyr rose
to tho occasion.
"Becalm, dear child," sho said. "See
what your coldness has driven him to.
However, poor fellow, in spite of Ids dis
appointment ho was determined, it
soeins, to marry ono of the family,"
