Jk?E A POST NARITXL ROMANCE BT CYEUS TO JLL ld TGATCN& BY PAY WALTER6 COPYWGH7; 906 EY llaight's boat's got the heels or her." "Here's your teu pounds," said Car rington. "Where's Haight?" "Here I be, master." "A hundred pounds to you," said Carrlngton, "If you put me aboard that ship, and another hundred if you put me there before Strathgate." "And If I don't do neither?" re turned Haight, quickly. Nothing," said Carrlngton. "ft' win or lose." "I take you, yer honor," cried Haight. whose sporting blood was aroused, and the remark was greeted by three cheers from the. wharf. "If It's in the power of a Ports mouth boat to do it, Haight's the man for you, master," said one old vet eran. "Stay." continued Haight, "I'd like to know who I'm dealin' with." "I'm Lord Carrlngton. first lieutea ant of the Xiobe yonder." He pointed to one of the frigates swinging ahead In the line of battle ships of Kephard's fleet. "Itight-o, your lordship," said Haight. making a sea scrape at the mention of rank, social, political and naval, of his speaker. "Lads, who goes with us?" He picked up three or four volun teers, to whom Carrlngton promised a suitable reward. "My boat's twice as big as Cooper's cotter, and I need the hands, your lordship." "Take anybody, anything you please." said Carrlngton. "Where's the boat?" "She be lyin' beyond the other pier. Shall I bring her here, or ?" "We'll go there," returned my lord. "'Tis quicker." Committing his horse to one of the bystanders, with instructions to take him to the inn, Carrlngton, followed by Haight and three seamen, ran back to the shore, made their way along the strand to the other pier, leaped Into the boat, which was a large, swift cutter, as Haight had said, at least half again as big as Cooper's, which was now well down the harbor and going tremendously under every freshening breeze. To cast off the lines, hoist the sails, warp the boat along the pier until she gained the open roads, was the work of a few moments. Carrlngton stood quietly while the skillful men worked busily around him, but so soon as the wind filled the sail and the boat gath ered way he came aft, calmly displaced Haight at the helm and sailed the boat himself. And no one In that harbor knew how to do it better -than, he. J CHAPTER XII. Lady Carrington's Luck. About two o'clock in the morning, as Ellen had expected, the breeze sprang up. It blew fitfully in cat's paws and light baffling airs at first. Ellen made the most of every possi bility presented, however. She was desperately anxious to get to Ports mouth and she handled her boat with all her accustomed skill, rejoicing in her possession of it. She did not awaken Debbie. She j let the boat drift while she herself hoisted the single sail it bore. After ; an hour of vexatious backing and filling, she thought the breeze was growing stronger and by four o'clock to her great joy the wind had settled and was blowing steady from the southeast, straight up the channel, that is. There are two entrances to Ports mouth harbor; one between the Isle of Wight and the mainland, the So- j lent, and the other around the south- era extremity of the same island. Ellen had drifted seaward during the night and she decided that her best course was to round the island and run up to the harbor with a beam wind. The breeze was growing strong- j er every moment. Indeed, the little ' boat keeled over so far that some- j times the lee gunwales were peril ously near the water line. i Presently, Ellen woke up Debbie in ; order to trim the ship, bidding her i crawl up to windward. Refore Deb bie took her position, they made such j morrjng meal as they could on tepid Water Ml) th romilnc rf tha hari) ! bread, and then settled down for their run into the harbor. The little boat was jumping and pitching fearfully, but Debbie was almost as good a sailor as Ellen, and she suffered no in convenience from the wild motion. As for Ellen, her heart exulted. She had something to do besides think. The sailing of the boat required all J her skill and ability. It was no light J task to hold the helm in one hand and j tne sheet In the other and right her j way through the rising seas. The boat rode the water like a duck, however, j and did not ship a drop of spray. J They were well past Cambridge j when the day broke fair and clear. Ellen had been so occupied with the business of sailing the boat that she j had not paid any attention to what was astern of her. It was Debbie who about a half hour after sunrise pcir.tM cut another rvl n Iarr'- t-'vt follov.'.'ns in thfr -vttl. ;, ;'-. r . .. ence of such a bo-.r at :;M'h n there was no:hir u3:;Icit;i:. sonic premonUiu-j ? ----.- KH?n t- -: .:;- .

Something Roomsd to whlsDer to her heart that its presence boded no good for the fu gitives. "Ti Probably Strathgate as You Say." In order to settle the matter, Elio.n suddenly put up the helm and ran broad off toward the channel. The other boat followed her motions at once. At this confirmation of her sus picions, Ellen once more brought her own cutter on her previous course, and again the other boat followed the movements of the first. "They're pursuing us." said Ellen. "I thought so," returned Debbie. "Who can they be?" queried Ellen tightening her grip upon the tiller. "It might be your husband." an swered Debbie. And if that were so, it flashed into Ellen's mind that perhaps the best thing would be to throw her own boat up into the wind, doff sail, or at least just give her steerage way and wait to be taken back. Hut Debbie's voice dispelled that dream. "It's more likely to be Lord Strath gate," continued the American girl, "than anyone else. He would natur ally follow us to that little village, if he were not so seriously wounded as to be utterly helpless and of course he would pursue us. They would find the money you put on the wharf and anybody could guess the rest." The thought smote Ellen's heart. There was so much probability of it. "Ay," she said, "tis probably Strath gate as you say." '"He's undoubtedly intensely angry with us both, or with you at least, Ellen," continued Deborah. "You know you tried to kill him last night." "I wish to heaven I had succeeded!" returned Lady Carrlngton. "And we both left him helpless in the road and he can't be feeling very kindly toward us," went on Deborah with innocent simplicity. "He pretended to love me," said Ellen, scornfully. "Well, he shall never take me into that boat. I'll sink this one rather than " "Oh. please don't do anything so rash," cried Deborah, alarmed at that threat. "I'm sure I don't want to be sunk and drowned because Lord Strathgate loves you and Lord Car rlngton doesn't." "How do you know he doesn't?" cried Ellen. "Why, you said that he and Lady Cecily " "Don't you ever dare mention that woman's name to me," returned the other, fiercely. "She beguiled him and enticed him I hate them both!" She was on the verge of another breakdown. Deborah was appalled by the vehemence of her companion and tactfully interposed a remark to change the trend of her thoughts. "I think they're nearer to us now." "They are," cried Ellen as she sur-vej-ed them with her practiced eye. "Their boat is larger, she spreads more sail. She goes three fathoms to our two. What shall we do? Here take the tiller a moment. Hold it just as it is and the sheet in the other hand." "What are you going to do?" asked Deborah as she obeyed her captain's commands. "I'm going to see If there are any powder and shot In the lockers forward. I was a fool to come away with only the charges in my pistols." "Would you shoot him?" "Ay, that I would." returned Ellen, "rather than fall into his hands." She stepped forward and rummaged in the locker under the bows but found nothing. She made her way aft again and disturbing Deborah opened anoth er locker in the stern sheets. There to her good fortune she found a flask of powder but no bullets. She was bitterly disappointed at this lack, but at least something was gained. She knelt down on the thwarts and with r'iH T0'! "-f n """I "" t Trtfc1 rnillT ' b--t?i her :s. ":.

"Frighten Lord Strathgate!" laughed Deborah. "Don't try. It will only make him more angry, and " Hut Ellen stood up In the boat, balancing herself lightly in spite of the pitching, pointed her pistol at the other boat now not more than half a mile away, and pulled the trig ger. There was a tremendous report for Ellen had put in an extra largo charge In default of a bullet. j Someone In the boat astern stood . . . ,1 ... 1 Win us auu wavcu ilio 11 a. L Ellen let him have the other pistol Of course, there was sound and noth Ing more. Hut the concussion, the noise and the smoke relieved her feel Ings. Deborah cowered down in the boat, released the tiller, let go the sheet and stopped her ears with her fingers. Ellen dropped her pistols and by the quickest kind of work seized the tiller and sheet and got the boat under control before she broached to. It was a narrow escape, however, and convinced Lady Carrington that she could not indulge in any more sham battling. She watched the other boat carefully as her own gathered way once more but could detect no evidence that her firing had in the least intimidated those who were coming so recklessly after her. Promising Deborah that she would not fire them again, she got the youn woman to take the helm once more while she reloaded her pistols. She would have given anything for a couple of good honest leaden bullets, If she had even had a jeweled ring, she would have pounded it into shape and rammed it down the barrel, but she had divested herself of all her jewels except her wedding ring and she could not make up her mind to blow that away in the present emer gency. Still the pistols were heavily charged and at close quarters there would be an unpleasant dose of pow der for anyone who tried to molest her. 'l lie oIh:r boat was coming up hand over hend now. In half an hour she would be alongside. Ellen swept the harbor ahead of her and was sur prised to see she had not noticed it in the interest excited by the chase coming down under full sail a large ship, an American merchantman evi dently. She jumped to the conclusion that it must be the New Eagle. If she could intercept that ship and get aboard of her, her troubles would be over. Provided the ship were willing to heave to or to check her way, the boarding of her would be an easy mat ter, and Ellen was sailing on such a course that the interception of Y.c: would not be difficult, if it were not for this boat close astern cf her. Far ther ahead Ellen also marked follow ing hard on the great ship two boats like her own and the one pursuing. They were, like the merchantman, beating down the harbor and it seemed to Ellen's eyes that they were also chasing after the merchant ship. She was more and more convinced as she studied It, that it could be none other than the New Eagle. With sal vation staring her In the face, Ellen feared that she would be unable to escape her nearest pursuer. She looked back and could have screamed aloud. "Ellen," said Deborah, who had given no thought to what was before her but who had been staring at the other boat, "I don't believe that's the earl of Strathgate." "Who is it then?" asked Ellen who was thinking hard and desperately as to what were best to be done. "It's I'm sure it's " "Who. Lord Carrington?" "Nay," answered Deborah with a little simper. "Sir Charles Seton." "Impossible." cried Ellen brusquely. "How would he be there?" "'Tis he, I'm sure. I recognize him." "You have keen eyes," said Ellen looking back. "I always supposed that mine were good." "You might recognize him if it were Lord Carrlngton," said Deborah patly. "Do you mean to imply that I that , you " Ellen gave it up as hopeless. "I don't care who it is. Look ahead. Turn your eyes from that young red coat. See yon ship! That will be the New Eagle. See how white her can vas! And, yes" as the ship swung around on another tack and gave them a view of her broadside "there's the American flag. That means safety for us freedom, if we can shake off this pestilent pursuer in our wake." "But I don't want to shake him ofT!" cried Debbie. "You must. Would you fall into his arms? 'Tis most unmaidenly," an swered Ellen. "I don't care," cried Debbie, begin ning to whimper. "I guess you can stop crying," an swered Ellen, contemptuously, "for we have no more chance of escaping from that boat than we have of getting aboard yonder ship.". Ellen's face gloomed as she spoke. To be foiled after all she had gone through by Sir Charles Seton. whose pursuit of her, after all, was simply for this mawkish, whimpering Debo rah, whom for the first time in her life she hated, was more than she could bear. She came to a sudden res olution. "I'll run the boat ashore and es cape through the woods rather than be caught by them." She swung the tiller over, hauled aft the sheet and in a moment the boat was running toward the island. In those days a long shoal, of which Ellen knew nothing. Jutted out into the roads. She did not throw her boat deliberately on the shore, but ran along it looking for some suitable ; !nr- to !:.rd, cr r.-p-- the smafier, got tne worst o'i'ii and felt the wind lest. Seton's boat was rapidly overhauling the other. In five minutes It would be alongside. Ellen j cwung the helm over and desperately j headed straight for the shore, j "Stop! Btop, Lady Carrington!" cried Seton, who was now In plain view. "I mean you no harm. Mistress Debo rah, can't you ?" "I can't do anything," cried Debo rah, traitorously. "She won't let me." "If you run down my boat," an swered Ellen, handling her pistols, "I swear I'll use these weapons." "There are no bullets In them," cried Deborah. "Don't be afraid." Ellen turned on her like a young tigress. She could have struck her with her pistol. Sir Charles only laughed. He was in high glee. I wouldn t care u there were a thousand bullets In them. I intend to have you out of that boat, Mistress Debbfe, and " There was a sudden scream from Mistress Debbie. The boat in which she sailed met with a sudden check. The little cutter grated upon the edge of the shoal. Ellen sprang to the helm, forgetful of everything else but the present peril. Her boat go ing at a rapid rate had taken ground. She hoped that the touch had been so light that the boat would not be stopped and wrecked. Indeed, she flung herself violently to starboard and the sudden shock swung the boat off the shoal. There was a scraping of sand beneath the keel and the little shallop slid on. Sir Charles was close aboard. Not being a sailor, he had not noticed, and in the excitement of the chase. Sir Charles offering reward upon reward to the fishermen If they overhauled the other boat, these men forgot the peril, if, indeed, they knew it. For coming down at full speed and draw ing half again as much water as Ellen's cutter, they ran hard and fast upon the shoal. Ellen had counted upon their doing this very thing. She looked back with eyes of experience, and saw exactly their position. Irr" 3d, they had bare ly escaped ripping a mast out of the lugger. They were rocking their boat furiously and making every effort to get off, but they had gone on. fair and square, the tide was on ebb, and Ellen concluded they were fixed for some time. She rose in the stern sheets and laughed gleefully. She put her boat about and ran down to pass in easy hail of Sir Charles and his men. "Good-by," she called, laughing with mockery that stung him, "before an hour we shall be aboard yon ship. I am sorry that you were baiked. A stern chase is a long chase, Sir Charles, as you will find upon the sea." Poor Sir Charles had little to say for himself. He felt very much cha grined and bitterly disappointed. "Gooy-by, Sir Charles," called Debo rah, sadly. " 'Tis not my doing, and" "Mistress Deborah," answered Sir Charles, plucking up heart, "you have not seen the end of me. I shall find some means of following you wherever you go." """There, Debbie," said Ellen, "heart up. iou did your best to betray me, but I forgive you since we've got free. I told you Sir Charles would follow you and he'll find you all the sweet er for his mad chase. Now for yon ship." And Ellen laid a course which would in half an hour intercept the oncoming merchantman. CHAPTER XIII. An Impromptu Affair on the High Seas. It was hardly possible at first, even for so practiced and acute an eye as Carrington's, to determine whether he or Strathgate had the better boat. In the first place, the two cutters were continually on opposite courses, split ting tacks, the wind blowing straight into the harbor, and it was not until they had passed and repassed each other several times that Carrington became convinced that he was gain ing on his antagonist. The gain, how ever, was a slight one. The differ ence in the rate of sailing between the two boats was not very great. Both of them sailed faster than the Flying Star in the air then prevail ing. When the big ship got out into the channel she would probably run away from the two fishing boats with out difficulty. The wind being as it was necessitated a hard beat out, and again this gave the smaller vessels an advantage, for. they could hold on where the great ship was compelled to tack for fear of shoal water. And with every tack they gained distance. Carrlngton studied the sea intently and concluded that if the wind did not shift and it did not come to blow hard er than it was, there was every pros pect that both boats would overhaul the ship. Whether he could beat Strathgate at that game, however, in the time at his disposal was a ques tion. At any rate there was nothing to do but hold on. Master Haight had viewed Carrington's usurpation of the helm with some misgiving at first, but his distrust soon gave place to admiration, for never was a small boat better handled than by the young naval officer. If Carrington had been sailing the cutter in a race for a stake of 10,000, he could not have watched her more carefully or handled her more skillfully. He made everything tell. That worthy fisherman, Cooper, who was sailing Strathgate's boat, albeit he did very well, was a mere tyro com pared to Carrlngton. Indeed. Carring ton felt as if he were sailing his boat for lor. honor, happiness, revenee. nil Union From tbe Ldser.
