ESCAPED. Doctor Danton’s carriage dashed away like mad, and the man on the box smiled grimly to himself as he guided the spirited horses onward down the long, white country road which led to an adjacent town. “A bold stroke, and a sure one,” Gilbert Warrington muttered. “If ever the devil helped his own, he has extended the right hand of fellowship to me to-night. She is safe in my care now, and I imagine that I can find a way to make her hold her tongue.
