CHAPTER XI. Continued. .
Carrlngton was armed. lie hauled
a pistol from his belt , cocked It nnd
leveled it fair nt Strathgate.
"Bring that boat into the wharf , "
ho cried , "or I'll shoot you like the
dog you are ! "
Strathgato did not blanch. IIo bal
anced himself easily to "tho roll of the
boat and looked square at Carrlng-
ton.
"Would you add murder to your oth
er follies ? " ho answered.
Ho was an easy mark , the distance
was short , Carrlngton was a sure shot ,
and If ever a man had murder In his
heart it was in that of Ellen's hus
band. Yet there was something in
the dauntless way In which Strath
gate faced him nnd In the fact that
the latter appeared unarmed , that
caused Carrlngton , with finger
upon the trigger , to stay the pressure.
"Why don't you fire , my lord ? "
cried Strnthgato.
"Draw your weapon , Strathgato , "
said Carrlngton , dropping the point of
his own pistol.
"I'm sorry to say that I'm unarmed. "
There was no use. Carrlngton could
not kill him under the circumstances.
Ho stood staring after him for a mo
ment , and then raised his hand and
shook it in the air.
"God have mercy on you if I meet
ypu again ! " ho cried.
"Take the peril to yourself , Lord
Carrlngton , " Strathgato called out ,
and with a farewell wave of his hand
the cutter shot out beyond the extrem
ity of the pier , nnd , catching the full
force of the breeze , which happened to
bo blowing straight up tlio harbor , ne
cessitating a hard beat out against it ,
bore away toward the opposite shore.
Pistol In hand , CarrlugUm turned
nnd confronted the astonished crowd
Which had gathered In his rear.
t"What wont ho after ? " ho asked.
? The men facing him looked from
ono to another.
'Carrington thrust the plutol back
into his belt , toro out hid pocketbook ,
opened It , nnd took out a ten-pound
note. . .
"That for information. "
One of the -men whose boats Strath-
gate had disdained to employ forced
hlB way through the crowd.
' /lIll.tQll / u.forJhp .money4"
"Speak out. 'Tls yours. "
"He come down hero lookin' for a
man nnd a woman , and Cooper , ho
owns the boat yonder , said his broth
er put a party contalnln' a man and n
woman aboard the Flying Star or a
ship like her last night. "
"What then ? " asked Carrlngton. '
"Then ho offered a hundred pounds
for the fastes' boat to put him aboard
the Flymg Star afore she got clear
into the channel. "
"And ho took Cooper's boat , " said
another boatman.
"Is she the fastest In the harbor ? "
"Well , there's some as do say that Jim
Height's boat's got the heels of her. "
"Here's your ten pounds , " said Car
rington. "Where's Haight ? "
"Hero I be , master. "
"A hundred pounds to you , " said
Cnrrlngton , "if you put tno 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. "It's
wlnor
"I < nlo you , yor honor , " cried
Halght , whn .o sportliiK blood wnH
aroused , nnd , the reninikr vn greeted
by thretHitlers from the wharf.
"If It's In the power of a Ports
mouth bout to do It , llnlghl'H the innti
for you , master , " said oiio old vet
eran. \
'Stay. " continued Hnlght , "I'd llk'o
to know who I'm dealln1 "with. "
"I'm Lord Cnrrlngton , first lieuten
ant of the Nlobo yonder. "
Ho pointed to ono of the frigates
swinging ahead In the line of battle
ships of Kephard'fl fleet.
"Rlght-o , your lordship , " said Halght ,
making a sea scrape nt the mention of
rank , social , political and naval , of his
iipenkor. "Lads , who goes with us ? "
Ho picked up three or four volun
teers , to whom Carrlngton promised n
suitable reward.
"My boat's twice ns big ns Cooper's
cutter , nnd I need the hands , your
lordHlilp"
Take nifytiody , anything you
please , " sold Carrlngton. "Wheio's the
bc.ni1 > "
"She be lyln' beyond llio other pier.
Shall I bring her here , or ? "
"We'll go there , " returned my lord.
" 'Tls quicker. "
Committing his horse to one of the
bystanders , with Instructions to take
him to the inn , Carringtou , followed
by Hnlght and three seamen , ran back
io the Hhoro , made their way along
the strand to the other pier , leaped
Into the boat , which was a large ,
swift cutter , as Haight hnd snld , at
least half again as big as Coopor'a ,
which was now well down the harbor
nnd 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 momenta. Carrlngton stood
quietly while llio skillful men worked
busily around him , but so soon as the
wind filled the sail and the boat gath
ered way ho came aft , calmly displaced
Hntght nt the helm and sailed the
boat himself. And no ono in that
harbor knew how to do It better
than he.
CHAPTER XII.
Lady Carrlngton's Luck.
About two o'clock in the morning ,
as Ellen had expected , tlio breeze
sprang up. It bfow lltfully In cat's
paws and light baffling airs nt first.
Ellen mndo the most of every possi
bility presented , however. She was
desperately anxious to get to Ports
mouth nnd she handled her boat with
nil her accustomed skill , rejoicing In
her possession of it.
She did not awaken Debbie. She
lot the boat drift while she herself
"Tls Probably Strathgate as You Say. "
hoisted the single sail It bore. After
nn hour of vexatious backing and
fljllng , 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 ; ono between the Isle
of Wight and the mainland , the So
lent , and the other around the south
ern extiemlty of the sumo Island.
Ellen had drifted seaward during the
night and she decided that her best
course \\ns to round the Island and
run up to the harbor with u beam
wind. The breeze was growing strong
er every moment. Indeed , the little
boat keeled over so far that sometimes -
times the leo gunwales were peril
ously near the water lino.
Presently , Wllen woke up Debblo In
order to trim the ship , bidding her
crawl up to windward. Before Deb
blo took lierjiositlon , Uiey made sucl
' " "
moinlifg 'nicnT as"ihey"ciilironwtepUT
water and the remains of the hard
bread , and then bottled down for their
run into the harbor. The little boat
was jumping and pitching fearfully. !
but Debblo was almost as good a
sailor ns Ellen , and she suffered no in
convenience from the wild motion.
As for Ellen , her heart exulted. Slip
had something to do besides think.
Tlio Balling of the boat required all
her skill and ability. It was no light
task to hold the helm In one hand and
the sheet In the other and light hoi-
way through the rising seas. The boat
rode the water llko a duck , however ,
and did not ship a drop of spray.
They were well past Bnmbrldgo
when the day broke fair and clear.
Ellen had been so occupied with the
business of Balling the boat that she
had not paid any attention to what
was astern of her. It was Debblo
who about a half hour after sunrleo
pointed out another and a larger boat
following in their wake. In the pres
ence of such a boat at such a timo.
there was , .nothing . . .auspicious , yet
Homo premonition nf danger canned
Ellen to survey tlio other vessel , a small
lugger , perhaps a tnllu astern , with
dnep aud tnletiRo InlercHt. Something
seemed to whlwper to her heart that
Its proscribe boded no good for the fu
gitives.
In order to Kettle the matter , Ellen
suddenly put up the helm nnd ran
broad off toward the channel. The
other boat followed her motlonn at
once. At this confirmation of her BUS-
pIcloiiH , Ellen once more brought her
own cutter on her previous course ,
and again the other boat followed the
movements of the flrnt.
"They're purmilng us. " said Ellen.
"I thought so , " returned Debbie.
"Who can they be ? " Queried Ellou
tightening her grip upon the tiller.
"It might bo your husband , " an-
sworud Dobblo.
And If that were so , It flashed Into
Ellen's mind that perhaps the best
thing would bo to throw her own boat
up Into the wind , doff sail , or nt least
JiiHt give her steerage way ami wait
to bo taken back. But Debbie's voice
dispelled that dream.
"It's more likely to be Lord Strath-
gale , " continued the American girl ,
"than anyone else. Ilo would natiK-
ally follow us to that llttlo village , If
ho were not so seriously wounded as
to bo utterly helpless and of course
ho 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 HO much probability of it.
"Ay , " she said , "Us 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 Carringtou.
"And wo both left him helpless In
the road and ho can't bo feeling very
kindly toward us , " wont on Deborah
"
with Innocent simplicity. ,
"IIo pretended to love mo , " said
Ellen , scornfully. "Well , ho shall never
take mo Into that boat. I'll sink thla
ono 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 nnd drowned because Lord
Strathgnto loves you and Lord Car-
rington doesn't. "
"How do you know ho doesn't ? "
cried Ellen.
"Why , you said that he and Lady
Cecily " ,
*
"Don't you cvcr dare mention that
woman's naino 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
tlio 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
veyed them with her practiced eye.
"Their boat is larger , she spreads
more sail. She goes three fathoms to
our two. What shall wo do ? Hero
tnko the tiller a moment. Hold it
just ns it is and the sheet In the other
hand. "
"What are you going to do ? " asked
Deborah as she obeyed her captain's
comniandH.
"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 tlio bows but found
nothing. She made her way aft again
and distill hlng 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
skill bred of ancient practice rapidly
charged both her pistols.

WHERE AUBURN LOCKS ABOUND.
Found In Great Numbers In North
eastern Part of Scotland.
Red hair Is found in distinct excess
north of the Grampians , and especially
In the northeast of Scotland. A sci
entist who has niiulo the question of
pigmentation a special study , and has
just been helped to conclude a color
survey of the school children over
fiO.OOO of Scotland , announced this
as ono of his results.
In most European countries , he snld ,
there is a distinct predominance of
ono typo over the others. In north
Germany and Sweden it is tlio blonde
type ; 'in1taly"th6 b'ruricHto. No such'
predominance is found lu Scotland.
Dark hair and fair are present in
equal proportions. The dominant col
or among Scottish children Is brown ,
and it haa to bo shown how far brown
Is'really a blond of fair and dark.
Tlio proportion of red hair through
out the country Is n llttlo over C per
cent. high compared with the con
tinent. Ono cannot overlook the ref
erence of Tacitus to the red haired
Caledonians. Some curious facts
brought to light suggest that red hair
Is not entirely or strictly a racial
trait It may have some peculiar
ph > slologlcnl if not pathological con
nection.
Teach Poor Women to Cook.
Borne of the homo economics clubs
of the east have established "centers"
with all cooking school conveniences ,
where poor women may bo taught how
to keep house nnd cook economically.
There Is no fancy cooking taught , but
simply the things that are served by
Ufo poor people themselves each day ,
only they are taught to keep account
of , the expense and cook econom
ically.

AND A WOMAN'S ' WORK
_
LYDIA E. PINKHAM
Nature nnd a woman's work com
bined have produced the grandest
remedy for woman's ills that the
world has over known.
In the good old-fashioned days of
our grandmothers they relied upon
the roots and herbs of the field to
euro disease and mitigate suffering.
Tlio Indians on our "Western
Plains to-day can produce roots and
herbs for every ailment , and cure
diseases that baffle the most skilled
physicians who have spent years in
the study of drugs.
From the roots and herbs of the
field Lydia E. Pinkham more than
thirty years ago gave to the women
of the world a remedy for their pe
culiar ills , more potent and effica
cious than any combination of drugs.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound is now recognized as the
standard remedy for woman's ills.
Mra. Bertha Muff , of 515 jST.C. St >
Louisiana , Mo. , writes :
' Complete restoration to health
means so much to me that for the take
of other suffering- women I am willing1
to make my troubles public.
4'For twelve years I hnd been suffer
ing1 with the -worst forms of female ills.
During that time I had eleven different
physicians without help. No tongue.
caii tell what I suffered , and at times I
could hardly walk. About two years
ago I wrote Mrs. Pinkham for advice.
I followed it , and can truly say that
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound and Mrs. Piukhain's advice re
stored health and strength. It is
worth mountains of gold to suffering
women. "
What Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege
table Compound did for Mrs. Muff ,
it will do for other suffering women. V

A good old Georgia brother , who
