CHAPTER VII. Continued.
'And how I am to live until I get
another ship I am at a loss, my boy,"
Giles cried quite cheerfully. "Two
courses are open to me play and run
ning away with an heiress. Do you
know of a charming girl, Dicky, with
something under 100,000, who could
be reconciled to a penniless lieutenant
In his majesty's navy? And remem
ber, she must be as beautiful as the
dawn besides, and of good family, and
keen of wit no lunkhead of a woman
for me." To this, fate impelled me to
reply that Lady Arabella Stormont
was still single.
"Faith!" cried Giles, slapping his
knee, "she is the girl for mo. I al
ways Intended to marry her, If only to
spite her."
1 was sorry I had raked tip the em
bers of his passion of five years be
fore, and attempted to cover my step
by saying:
"She Is still Infatuated with Overton,
whom, however, she sees rarely, and
that only at the houses of others; but
he has ever looked coldly upon her."
"She'll not be coldly looked on by
me. And let me see: There is her
cousin you used to tell mo about the
Carmlchael girl supposo you, Dicky,
run away with her; then no two lieu
tenants In the service will have more
of the rhino than we!"
I declare this was the first time I
had remembered Daphne's 30,000.
She had the same fortune as Iuly
Arabella. The reflection damped my
spirits dreadfully.
Giles saw it directly, and in a mo
ment he had my secret from me. He
shouted with delight, and Immediately
began a grotesquo planning for us to
run away with the two heiresses. He
recalled that the abduction of an heir
ess was a capital crime, and drew a
fantastic picture of us two standing
in the prisoners' dock, on trial for
our lives, with Lady Arabella and
Daphne swearing our lives away, and
then relenting and marrying us at the
gallows' foot. And this tale, told with
the greatest glee, amid laughter and
bumpers of hot brandy and water, had
a singular effect upon me. It sobered
me at once, and suddenly I seemed to
see a vision, as Macbeth saw Hanquo's
ghost, passing before my very eyes
Just such a scene as Giles described.
Only I got no farther than the spec
tacle of Giles a prisoner in the dock,
on trial for his life. My own part
seemed misty and confused, but I snw,
instead of the lodging house parlor, a
great hall of justice dimly lighted
with lamps, the Judges in their robes
on the bench, one with a black cap on
his head, and Giles standing up to re
ceive sentence. I passed Into a kind
of nightmare, from which I was
aroused by Giles whacking me on the
back and saying In a surprised voice:
"What ails you, Dicky, boy? You
look as If you had seen a ghost. Rouse
up hero and open your lantern' Jaws
for a glass of brandy and rid yourself
of that long faco."
I camo out of this singular state as
quickly as I had gone into it, and,
ashamed to show my weakness to
Giles, grew merry, carried on the Joke
about the abduction, and shortly felt
like myself, a light-hearted lieutenant
of 21. I proposed that we should go
to the play the next night or rather
that night, for It was now about four
In tho morning and shortly after we
tumbled into bed together and slept
until late the next day.
Giles and I went to Berkeley Square
In the afternoon, professing Just to
havo arrived from Portsmouth. Giles
expressed his thanks in the hand
somest manner to Sir Peter for his
kindness, and made himself, as usual,
highly agreeable to Lady Hawkshaw.
Neither Lady Arabella nor Daphne
were at home, but came in shortly I
after titles had left. Lady Arabella
made ttn.r.e llKliting remark about
Giles, an she always did whenever op
portunity offered. Daphne was very
kind to inc. and I gave her to under
stand privately that I was ready to
haul down my flat; at the first sum
mons to surrender.
The family from Berkeley Square
was going to the play that night, and
I mentioned that Giles and I would be
there toKether. And 60, Just as the
playhouse was lighting up, we walked
lu. Afler the curtain was up, and when
Mrs. Trenchard was making her great
speech in "Percy," I motioned Giles
to look toward Lady Hawkshaw's box.
Her ladyship entered on Sir Peter's
arm; his face was very red, and he
was growling under his breath, to
which Lady Hawkshaw contributed
an obliguto accompaniment In a sepul
chral voice; and behind 'them, In all
the splendor of her beauty, walked
Lady Arabella, and lust, camo sweet,
sweet Daphne. v
Tho llrst glimpse Giles caught of
Lady Arabella seemed to renew in an
instant the spell she had cast on him
five years before. Ho seemed almost
like a madman. He could do nothing
but gaze at her with eyes that seemed
starting out of his head. He grew
palo and then red, and was like a man
In a frenzy. It was all I could do to
moderate his voice and his looks In
that public place. Luckily, Mrs.
Trenchard being on the stage, ail eyes
were, for the time, bent on her.
I hardly knew how we sat the play
out. I had to promiso Giles a dozen
times that the next day I would take
him to Berkeley Square. When the
curtain went down, he fairly leaped
his way out of the playhouse to see
Lntly Arabella get into the coach.
That was a fair sample of the way
he raved for days afterward. He
haunted Berkeley Square, where he
was welcomed always by Sir Peter
nnd Lady Hawkshaw, asked to dine
frequently, and every mark 6f favor
shown him.

indifferent to him. About that time

effuse ho ctwiid not well decline Sir
I'eter and Lady Hawkshaw's pressing
and friendly Invitations. I believed,
however, that In spite of his forced
composure he felt cruelly abashed be
fore Lady Arabella. She, however,
showed an amazing coolness, and even
began to be a little kind to Giles,
from some obscure motive of her own.
I believe every act of her life with re
gard to men had some reference to
her passion for Overton.
All this time, though, from the
night of the play, Daphne and I had
been secretly happy; for on the very
next day, catching her alone, I told
her. In plain and seamanlike language,
that I loved her, nnd when she showed
a disposition to cut and run, I said to
her, very boldly:
"Since you scorn my love, I have
tho resource that every one of my
calling has In these days. I shall soon
go to sen, nnd upon the deck of my
ship I can find death, since life Is
nothing to me without my Daphne's
love."
, At which, without the least warning,
she suddenly fell Into my arms, cry
ing: "You'll break my henrt, If you talk
in that way!" and I perceived that she
was only maneuvering for position.
I do not know exactly what hap
pened next, except I was In that
heaven, Daphne's arms, when I looked
up and caught the butler nnd two foot
men grinning nt me. But It mattered
not.
' Next morning Daphne and I met In
the drawing room, as usual, after
breakfast; but what a meeting It was!
We had barely time to scuttle back to
our chairs when Sir Peter entered
with the newspaper, and informed me
that the He I Ion a frigate was being
fitted for the West Indies, and he
thought he could get me a berth in
her. nt which I felt myself grow weak
In the knees, so great Is the power of
love.
Presently ho went out. Then Daph
ne and I began to speculate upon Sir
Peter's personal equation In our af
fairs. "He will never let mo marry you,"
she said. "He will say I am too
young."
This depressed me so that I could
sny nothing In reply. Daphne con
tinued, quite la an offhand manner:
"If we should elope, he would make
a great hullabaloo."
This admirable suggestion at once
commended itself to me.
"His hullabaloo could not separate
us. If we were married," I replied.
"True," said Daphne; "and, after all,
he and Lady Hawkshaw as good as
eloped, and she was but 18 a yeai
younger than I."
Thus was I supplied with anothei
argument.
I again swear that I had hot a
thought of Daphne's fortune In all
this. I would have taken the deai
girl with nothing but the clothes upon
her back.
True to his word, Sir Peter worked
like a Trojan to get ma a berth on the
Bellona, and, meaning to do Giles the
greatest service In the world, tried
likewise for him; and mightily afraid
we were that he would soon succeed
, This brought matters to a crisis with
Daphne. I mentioned the word "elope"
to her again, and she made a great
outcry, after the manner of young
women, and then began straightway
to show me precisely how it might be
done, protesting, meanwhile, that she
would never, no, never, consent. We
both agreed, though, that It was
proper we should lay the matter of
our marriage before Sir Peter and
Lady Hawkshaw; but I saw that Daph
ne, who was of a romantic turn, had
her imagination fired by the notion ol
an elopement.
"A pair of good horses and a light
traveling chaise!" she exclaimed. "If
only it were not wrong!"
"No, no! Four horses!" cried I;
"and there is nothing wrong In eithci
a two or a four horse chaise."
Daphne clapped her hands.
"A trip to Scotland I have alwayE
longed for Scotland. I know a dozen
people who have married In Scotland,
and happy marriages, every one ot
them. Hut I forbid you, Richard, tc
think of an elopement."
"We shall set out at midnight; wo
shall not be missed until morning, and
we shall have at least 12 hours' start.
Then, at every stage we shall leave
something behind, which will Insure
a broken axle, or a linchpin gone, foi
our pursuers."
We were both so charmed with the
picture we had conjured up, that when
I said: "Suppose, after all, though,
that Sir Peter consents?" Daphne's
face fell; but presently she smiled
when I said:
"If he does consent, why, , 4hen,
there Is no harm in our marrying any
way we like, and he will excuse us foi
running away. And if he does not
consent, there Is no help for it we
must elope!"
I considered myself a casuist of the
first order. I felt obliged to take the
first opportunity of letting Sir Petet
know the state of affairs, and, as
usual, I determined to begin through
Lady Hawkshaw.
"And," as Daphne shrewdly re
' marked, "they will certainly differ, sc
we shall at least have one ot them on
our side." " ' - ' ' " '
I sought Lady Hawkshaw and found
her In her usual place, In the Chinese
room, r began, halting, stammering
and blushing, as if I were a charity
schoolboy Instead of a lieutenant In
his majesty's service, who had been
thanked by Lord Nelson.
"M-m-iny lady," I stuttered, "I hav
experienced so much k-k-klndness
from you that I have come to you in
the greatest emergency of my life."
"You want to get married," prompt
ly replied Lady Hawkshaw.

SPEND MUCH FOR AMUSEMENT.
Twenty-Five Millions Are Invested In
Parks in This Country.
"It costs a lot of money to build
and operate an amusement park on a
large scale," says Frederic Thomp
son, in Everybody's.
"I suppose that more than $25,000,
000 are invested In these parks in this
country. Dreamland on Coney Island
cost about J2.500.OOO. Rlvervlew Park
and the White City In Chicago cost
about a million each. '
"Luna park cost $2,400,000. The
total annual expenses, including the
cost of rebuilding, of putting in new
shows and the operating expenses;
average about -a million dollars, and
the season lasts four months. I spent
$240,000 on one show, of which $G8,
000 was for animals, mostly elephants
and camels it was the representation
of the Indian durbar and I lost $100,-
000 on It. I charged the loss up to
education, and It was worth It. It
costs $5,000 a week to light Luna
park, and $4,500 for the music. The
salaries of the free performers this
season are $2,300 a week. And all ol
these expenditures, as well as a good
nlany others, go simply to manufao
ture the carnival spirit."
The Useful Hen,
"Country constables who make a
living arresting speeding automobiles
wouldn't have half so much trouble
Stopping the scorchers If they used a
little ingenuity," says one of tho of
fenders. "Chains across the road and
moving vans blocking the highway are
all right to accomplish the purpose
but they're cumbersome. My Idea for
causing a prompt elow-up Is to scatter
a lot of grain In a road and turn a lot
of hens loose. They would block the
road all right, and it there's one thing
that will make a chauffeur slow up it's
a hen. Dogs are bad enough, but a
lien always runs the wrong way, and
If the machine Is going at any speed
usually ends up under tho wheels. Hit
ting a hen will somotlmes throw the
front wheels out ot line nnd cause the
car to swerve, so drivers almost lnva
rlnbly slow up and give poultry a
chance to get out of the way. A hon
speed trap Is a great Idea, to my way
of thinking, and, of course, If one ot
the birds were killed the cost could
easily be added to the driver's fine."
