termined man In some respects; and
I f«lt assured he would shortly carry
out his threat to send me to sea, and,
once at sea, It might be years before I
should again set foot in England.
Scotland, then, sounded sweetly in our
ears. I found, in truth, that, when it
came actually to going off, Daphne s
romantic willingness changed to a
natural hesitation at so bold a step.
Hut the near prospect of going to the
Hnllona turned the scale in my favor,
and l won from her a sort of oblique
consent. And another thing seemed
to play directly Into our hands. Sir

hearts and then and there we made
our plans, sitting up until the gray
dawn came.
Oh, the madness of it; the wildness
of it! But we were two dare-devil and
happy-go-lucky lieutenants, without
the prudence of landsmen. We
loved, and we were liable at any
moment to be torn away for many
years from the idols of our hearts.
Runaway marriages were common;
and only the parents and guardians
were offended in those cases, and for-
giveness generally followed. We were
about to commit a great folly; but
we thought we were nobly sustaining
the reputation of his majesty’s sea of-
ficers for our spirit and gallantry with
the fair sex, and looked not to the
dreadful consequences of our desper-
ate adventure.

I rang the bell like a church war-

I think my courage would wholly
have given out at that, except for a
glimpse of Daphne, Hitting up the
stairs. The dear girl wished to give
me heart, so she told me afterward.
Sir Peter appeared, and was greeted
by. Lady Hawkshaw as follows;
"Sir Peter, here Is Richard Olyn
wanting to marry Daphne. He has
but £3,000; but she might go farther
and fare worse."
Sir Peter literally glared at me. He
gasped once or twice, then broke out
in a torrent.
"He wants to marry my ward, does
lie—my ward, with £30,000 in her
own right! 1 wonder, damme, he
didn't propose to marry Arabella
too. Young gentleman, you are too
modest. Heiresses in England go

CHAPTER VIII.
Giles Vernon and I agreed that It
was necessary we should strike the
blow as soon as possible, while we
had the wealher-gage, so to speak, of
Sir Peter; and on the day after his
traveling chariot took its way north
ti very plain post-chaise followed It,
and In it were Giles Vernon and my-
self.
Giles was in a state of the wildest
happiness conceivable. There is some-
thing appalling in that fervor of mind
when the human creature, forgetting
all the vicissitudes of this life, treads
on air and breathes and lives In heaven.
Thus 1 was made sad by his gladness,
but 1 dared not show it, lest it be mis-
taken for a want of spirit in our enter-
prise, so I joined with him In his joy
and revelry.
We reached Scarborough at four
o’clock in the afternoon, and put uy at
a small inn on the outskirts of the
town, and some little way on the road
to the north. We sallied forth im-
mediately to find out something about
our inamoratas, and Fate—whether It
was that kindly goddess who leads our
footsteps toward those we love, or
whether it was the cruel Destiny
which delights In torturing men—al
once directed us. We were walking
along near the playhouse, which had
been lately opened in the town, when
we saw James, Lady Hawkshaw's own
footman, go Inside the playhouse and
buy some tickets of the man at the
door. As soon as he was well out of
the way I sneaked in, and, thrusting
two shillings Into the man's hand, In-
quired if Sir Peter and Lady Hawk-
shaw and the young ladies would favor
the performance that night. The man
grinned and showed me a slip of pa-
per, on which was written in Lady
Hawkshaw's bold hand: “Three stalls
for Lady Hawkshaw and party."

stincts of his forefathers in the craft
of the trail. Naturally the local offi-
cers, who know his ability, turned to
him as a leader.
