That same evening the Duchess of Berealeigh and family were due at Lester House, where Lady Luster reveived her "dvar tive hundred frivnds." They went early. intending to return only.

The ride that afternoon was rhrough one of the most. beautiful suburbs of the town. and up over the green mendows and shady groves bordering the river. It was quite dark when tho carriage reached Hounslow. and stopped to water the horses at the hotel. "We wish to reach Windsor in good time to-night. Are the toads safe?" asked the coaohman. "Ay, say, the rude be welt enough; but there hasn't been a travelling carriage passed the heath for the last week that hasn’t been stopped by footpads. And a passil o' very sttwietout' looking char- acters went by here a couple of hours ago. Ynu’d a deal better stop where you are for the night," answered the ostler, " he held a pail of water for the "nigh" ( horse to drink. The latter part on this speech counter- _ acted the former. for the cotwhman im- mediately came to the conclusion that there lurked an interested motive in this forewarning; so, instead of communi- eating it to Lady Etheridge. he replied: "Oh, I think we will try to get on, at least as far as the Magpie. where we can sleep if necessary} 'And gathering up his reins, he drove on.

Yet no some of {our troubled the heart of Lady Etlseridge; she. had heard none of the rumors of outlying footpads. and was ignorant of the warning given by the people at Hounslow. She was lying back among the cushions in that dreamy luxurious state induced by being carried along with an easy rapid motion through the darkness. when tniddenlend silent- ly the carriage was stopped and sur- rounded by dark, masked figures. Lady Etheridge. her heart paralyzed with ex- treme terror, sat transfixed and speech- less, while her maid uttered scream upon scream. The same instant the coachman fired one shot from his double barreled Ipistol and was about to fire another when he was mastered and disarmed.
