CHAPTER XIV. Continued.
This was an embarrassing question ,
but Sir Charles was saved the neces
sity of answering , for the midshipman
cnmo running to the quarterdeck once
more nnd saluted.
"Well ? " said Iho oIHccr to the ex
pectant boy.
"Admiral Kephard's compliments
to you , sir , and ho begs you will escort
Captain Seton lo his cabin ot once. "
"You're In luck , captain , " returned
Iho officer , "Iho admiral is not always
BO easy of access. Will you step this
way , Fir ? "
"After you , sir , " said Sir Charles ,
bowing and following the lieutenant
until ho was ushered past the marine
oidcily on duty and Into the ad
miral's cabin.
The tdmlral was Just completing
his toilet. His body servant was help
ing him on with his coat. Ho had
evidently Just had n balh to ictresh
him after the fatigues of his journay.
"Oh , Seton , " ho cried as the other
came In , "glad to see you , man. Sit
down. John , " to the servant
"fetch out n decanter of navy sherry.
Whisky , Seton , whisky , although pr
imps you army men uffu't port. "
"I juices wo can IO.IGW the navy's
load in Himolhlng s voni'er than port , "
laughed Sir Charted.
"What brought you here , Sir
Charles ? " continued the admiral a ? ho
poured out a liberal glassful for Se
ton and another for himself. "I left
you at CarrinKton. Hut , no , I remem
ber you rode away before I did , just
after my lord. Have you come on any
trace of fuKklves ? "
"Admiral , " said Sir Charles , grave
ly , "I know where they are. "
"And that damned lubberly hound ,
Slralhgate , IB he "
"Ho Isn't with them. They gave
him the slip. "
"You don't say ? Good ! " laughed the
admiral. "How was that ? "
Seton rapidly detailed Iho circum
stances as he had deduced them.
"Well done , that woman has spirit
enough , " continued Iho old soldier , "lo
command a frlgale. You will never
convince mo tlmt she's taken up with
a man of Strathgalo's caliber. "
"Sho wont away with him , the/ugh , "
said Scion thoughtfully.
"Ay ay , but she knows no more of
the world than a baby. She simply
made use of his proffered assistance
to escape from an Intolerable sltua-
lion. You take me , Seton ? "
"I do , admiral , and I confess I hardly -
ly blame her. How Carrlngton could
toleralo Lady Cecily for a moment
beside that splendid woman ' . '
"To say notlita * of that other splen
did woman , MlBtrcss Deborah Slocum ,
ob , Seton ? "
"I admit , admiral "
"Even 'Saints' Hcsl' becomes
heavenly when looked al by the aid
of such a pair ot black eyes ? And the
lady , boy ? "
"I confess , sir , " answered Seton ,
somewhat abashed by the frank ques
tioning of the old man , "that I have
some reason to believe , in short "
"In short , my boy , you've been chas
ing her all night , have you ? "
"You're right , sir. "
"And what now ? "
"I told you , admiral , that I know
where they were. "
"Well , where nto they ? Out with
it , lad. Disclose your Information and
come to thu point. All these side is-
SUOH are unworthy of a soldier , "
laughed the old Hcainan , well knowing
that for most of them ho was respon
sible.
"They're on a merchant ship bound
up the channel nnd golni ; fast when
I saw them last. "
"What ? " ' cried the admiral. "Give
me the particulars. "
Sir Charles rapidly ran over the
scene of the morning.
The old admiral threw back his head
and laughed.
"And who outwitted you all , shook
Strathgato off the track , led you
ashore , watched Carrlngton And
Stralhgalo flghl It out under her very
eyes and got clean away ? "
"She hann'l got away yet , admiral. "
"What mean you ? "
"I came here to make a proposition
to you. "
"A proposition to me ? "
"Yes. "
"You have a fast ship at your com
mand , I take It. "
"Do you mean Iho nrltnnnln ? " said
the admiral , mentioning his llagshlp.
"I do. "
"Of course she's fast. The admiral
ty know me. 1 wouldn't take a slow
ship. "
"In she an fast as that merchant
man , do you think ? "
"Why , my boy , there Isn't a mer
chant ship on the seas that she could
n't overhaul in anything like a wind. "
"Admiral , " mild Sir Charles In-
gcnuously , "I lay you a wager. "
"What is thai ? "
"A hundred pounds that you can'l
overlakc that merchant ship. "
"What ! " roared the admiral. "Me
lake out one of his majesty's ships to
chase after a runaway wife and a fool
ish girl ? "
"I beg your pardon , admiral , If you
refer to Mistress Deborah Slocum , I
must ask you to moderate your lan
guage , " protested Sir Charles , warmly ,
tils face flushing.
"Go to ! go to ! " laughed the ad
miral. "I'm old enough to bo your
father. Hut Iho Idea of an admiral
of the white taking a hundred gun
shlp-oMhc-llno out to chase a paltry
merchantman for Impossible , my boy ,
Impossible ! "
"Hut , " said Sir Charles , "the navy
cannot afford to decline a bet , a wager
"You Are Right Sir. "
with its sister service. I'll lay you
a thousand pounds , admiral , that you
can't do it. "
"My lad , " said Iho admiral genlly ,
after a moment's reflection , "no wag
ers are needed. I'll do it because I'm
fond of the girl and Carrlngton , too.
I can overhaul them before nlghlfall
without doubt and I'll bo glad to do it ,
although just exactly what warrant I
have for stopping , an American ship
on the high seas and taking from her
another man's wife I can hardly say. "
"I can help you In that , admiral.
As to warrant , if you'll bring to thn
other ship and give mo a boat crew ,
I'll go aboard the American and do
lha rest. MIslress Deborah , I am sure ,
will como willingly. "
"Don'l bo too sure of that , " returned
the admiral , "don't count upon n wom
an Until she's vour own. and don't
count too much upon her after thai ,
as Carrlngton might say. "
"Nevertheless , I think I speak by
the card , " said Sir Charles.
"Very well , you know best. Hav
ing been a bachelor all my life , I
know more about ships than women ,
but hark ye , Seton , this ono thing.
Don't you como back to the ship after
I put you aboard that trader , with
only Miss Deborah. The two have to
como together , or go to. cther , you
understand ? "
'lYcs , sir. "
The admiral struck the boll on the
table besldo him. Instantly the ma
rine orderly popped in the dowk
"My compliments to the "v.-er of
the deck , " said the ndm"to the
orderly , "and ask him to ' & Captain
Heatly lo favor movlt > .Is presence
in the cabin. "
"Yes , sir , " relurneii the orderly , sa-
lullng.
A momenl after an incredibly short
lime it seemed to Seton , who was tin-
aAvnro of the way in which an ad
miral's requests are obeyed Captain
Hoatty , the officer montlonel , present
ed himself before the admiral.
"You wish to see mo , admiral ? "
"Yes , Heatty. Hy the way , lot mo
present to you Sir Charles Seton of
the Sussex light infantry , captain in
his majesty's land forces. Seton , this
is the Honorable Archibald Uealty ,
my flag captain. Realty , will you got
the Hrltannla under way .at once ? "
"Yes , sir , " returned the captain.
"Aro the test of the licet to follow
us ? "
"No , " answered the admiral , "sig
nal to the rest of them to disregard
Iho movements of Iho commander-ln-
chief. Then signal to the Renown for
LtiHCfllc'H to take command until wo
return. "
"Very peed , sir , " returned the cap-
_ taln. "And what course sha.ll w/jjay ? "
"That which' will got luOntVthe
channel quickest , nnd then as due
east nn the wind wlU let nn , I'll bo on
deck , however , before you're ready for
tlmt. "
"There are several boat purlieu
ashore , ndtnlral , do you wish mo to
wait for them ? "
"No , sir , you will weigh at once. "
"Very good Hlr , " returned the captain -
tain , saluting and turning , away.
"And Heatly , " the ndullral called af
ter him , "a drop of navy sherry with
mo before you go. "
"Thank you , admiral , " said Realty ,
filling Ills glass.
"I'll give you a toast , Sir Charles , "
said the admiral.
"Yes , " returned Iho soldier.
"A short cruise and the women at
Iho end of It ! "
" 1 drink to that with all my heart ! "
returned Sir Charles.
"And I also , " said Captain Realty ,
greatly mystified , "although I don't
understand exactly. "
"We're going to chase n Yankee
merchant ship , Realty , and lake a
couple of ladles In whom Sir Charles
Is Interested off of It. "
"A couple ! " cried Realty.
"I'm only Interested In one of them , "
said Sir Charles warmly.
"It's a runaway sweetheart and a
runaway wife , Realty , " continued the
admiral , "Lady Carrlngton and Mis-
Ircss Deborah Slocum. "
"And which one Is Sir Charles inter-
eslcd In ? " asked Iho sailor , smiling.
"In MIslress Slocum , of course,1'
laughed Ihe admiral. "Nqw , captain , "
ho continued , assuming his quarter
deck manner , "I want you to get the
ship under way In the quickest pos
sible time. Let's show this land
lubber hero what his mapesty's navy
can do when Il's In dead earnest.
Imagine there arc a dozen Frenchmen
out there , all boiling for a fight , and
bear a hand ! " *
"Ay , ay , sir , " said Really , saluting
and withdrawing from the cabin.
A moment later there came faintly
through the bulkheads the shrill
whistling of the boatswain and his
mates , followed by a deep cry :
"All hands up anchor ! "
CHAPTER XV.
Captain Jeremiah Tuggles Is Inoulted.
It was a moment of splendid tri
umph for the heroine of this mad es
capade when she drew under Iho leo
of Ihe great ship tremendously above
her. Her eyes wore as keen as Car-
rlngton's. She had recognized , or di
vined , Hint Ihe tall figure slandlng on
Iho rail of the larger boat staring at
her was her husband. She knew that
In some way they had concluded that
she would try to escape on Iho mer-
chanlman and that they were trying
to catch that ship , She was experi
enced enough , also , to know that their
efforts would be futile and their
trouble In vain. There was only one
possible contingency which could pre
vent the accomplishment of her de
sires now , and that would bo the re
fusal of the captain of Iho ship lo
stop for her when she ran him down.
Kllen had a well-filled purse and she
hoped to persuade him with that. At
any rate , she kept recklessly on , al
though the little boat came near to
swamping and Deborah , between ter
ror and disappointment , was In a state
of collapse. Ellen boldly ran down
under the lee of the big ship. Dy
skillful handling she brought her boat
within hulling distance of the mer
chantman.
A man stepped on the rail to lee
ward and stared hard at her.
"What ship Is this ? " asked Ellen.
"The Flying Star of Roston. "
Ellen's heart sank.
"I thought It was the New Eagle
of Philadelphia , " she cried.
"Sho sailed yesterday. "
"Where are you bound ? " asked El
len , fighting against the sinking of
heart caused by this news.

COUNTRY'S NEEDS BET FORTH.
Wall Street Journal Advocates Re
turn to Old Conditions.
The following editorial from the
Wall Street Journal is somewhat remarkable -
markablo , appearing In a purely finan
cial paper , and Is certainly worthy of
serious consideration :
"What America needs Is a revival
of ptoty , the kind mother and father
used to have piety tlmt counted It
good business to atop for dully family
prayer ijoforo breakfast , right In the
middle of harvest : that quit Held work
a half hour early Thursday night so as
to set the chores done and go to
prayer meeting ; that borrowed money
* o pay the preacher's salary and
prayed fervently In secret for the sal-
\atlon of Iho rich man who looked
with scorn on such unbusinesslike bo-
havlor. That's what wo need now to
clean this country of Iho filth of graft ,
and of greed , potty and big ; of wor
ship of line horses and big lands and
high otlieo and grand social functions.
What Is this thing wo are won
shiplng but a vain repetition of what
decayed nations fell down and wor
shiped Just before their light went
out ? Road the history of Homo In de
cay and you will find luxury thP
that could lay a big dollar over our
