CHAPTER XIV.

falling i'll pat with the don's design, we
bade farewell to Elche, Dawson and l
with no sort of regret, but Moll in tears
at parting from those friends she had
grown to love very heartily. And these
friends would each have her take away
something for keepsake such as rings
to wear ON her arms and ON her ankles
(as is the Moorish fashion), silk shawls,
ETC., SO that she had quite a large pres
ent of finery to carry away, but we had
nothing whatever but the clothes we
stood in, and they of the scantiest, be-
ing simply long shirts and "burnooses"
such as common Moors wear. For the
wise don would let US take naught that
might betray our sojourn in Spain, max
ing us even change our boots for wood
en- sandals, he himself being arrayed no
better than we. Nor was this the only
charge insisted on by our governor, for
on Dawson bidding Moll in surly tone
to give over shedding of tears, Don
Sanchez turns upon him, and says he:
"It is time to rehearse the parts we
are to play. From this day forth your
daughter is Mistress Judith Goodwin,
you are Captain Robert Evans, and
you" Ito me), "Mr. Hopkins, the mer-
chant Let us each play our part with
care, that we do not betray ourselves by
q slip in moment Of unforeseen dan
ger.
you are in the right, senor," an
swers Jack, "for I doubt 1t must be a
hard task to forget that Mistress Judith
is my daughter as it is for a loving IA
ther to hold from chiding Of his own
flesh and blood. So Ipray you, madam"
Ito MOLLY, "bear that in mind and vex
me no more.
We lay this lesson seriously to heart,
Dawson and /, for the don's hint that
we might end our career in Jail did
still rhnkle woundily in our minds.
And so, very soberly we went out of the
forest of Elche on mules lent us by Sidi
ben Ahmed, with long cavalcade of
mules charged with merchandise for
embarking on board the pirates vessel
and an escort of some half dozen fierce
looking corsairs armed with long fire
locks and great store of awesome crook
ed knives stuck in their waistcloths.
After journeying across the plain we
came about midday to the seaboard, and
there we spied lying in sheltered bay
long galley with three masts, each
dressed with single cross spar Tor car
rymg leg OF mutton san. and on the
shore couple OF shlp's boats with q
company OF men waiting to transport
our goods and us aboard. And here our
hearts quaked bit at the thought of
trusting ourselves IN the hands OF these
same mnrderous looking pirates Never
