CHAPTER I.
A COLONIAL RESIDENCE THAT FIGURES IN
THIS STORY.

L.
THIS STORY.
On the bank of the Cape Fear river,
and some 30 miles from where it
e1npties its waters into the broad At
lantic, stands the old, old city of Will
mington; so old, in fact, that the build
ing that was the headquarters of Lord
CORVALLIS when the town tor Will
mington was then town of no small
importance) was occupied by the Brit
ish soldiery during the revolution of
1176, though still standing tat least as
to it's frame), has of necessity, as age
and inclement weather caused it's roof
and sides to wear and rot away, been
recovered and the frame reclothed with
Cardinals pine many times; but be-
meath the covering of to-day stands the
same old frame and in the same location
as it stood in the troublous days of the
American revolution.
True, the time-worn floors that were
pressed in turn by the feet of Corn
wallis and a Washington have been re-
placed by others, but underneath the
stills and girders that supported it rest
to-day as stanch and true as they did
when placed there a century and quar-
ter ago, and testify to the endurance
of Carolina's pine.
The rooms that in the days of long
gone by have echoed alike with the
laughter and revelry of British sons and
daughters, and the music of Sambo and
Cuffy, as they called "all hands round,
promenade ALI" while the sons and
daughters of the Tar Heel state kept
time with flying feet, retain their same
dimensions.
The misguided Andre and the traitor
Arnold have stood within these very
rooms.

that patriot from across the sea whose
memory is dear to all Americans have

dents in the lives of great men live be-

lives of Washington and La Fayette.
One small one is, that on a certain oc-

night ordered his coachman to have his
carriage and his two bright bays in
front of the mansion at dawn of day, as
he and La Fayette intended visiting q
fort on the river below.
1t is said that in the morning when
they approached the carriage that
Honest George" who never told a lie,
stroked the back of the bay next him
with his hand, and that his glove was
soiled. "Pompey! what do you mean,
sir, by bringing out my team in con-
dition like this2
'"There, sirl and there! take that.
and that! move quick, take back my

southern coast and there laid his plans

The fact as related in regard to his
kidnapping negroes from planters of one
section and selling them to those of an
other is traditional. So, also, is the San
Domingo episode in which the reader
first makes the acquaintance of Black
Beard.
He undoubtedly successfully cleaned
out the vaults ofs several banks; de-
spoiled many merchantmen at sea, and
held the entire southern coast in ter
ror.
He was man of more than ordinary
intelligence, of Herculean frame, brave
and daring, and his craft, a two-mast
schooner which not many crafts of

have located it, as we'll as terminated
the career of numerous parties to this
tale, at Smiths island" near the
mouth of the Cape Fear.
Tradition has it, on the Carolina
coast. that this island was for a time the
rendezvous of the pirate; it has been
often dug over in search of the treasure
by treasure seekers from Maine to
Texas. If buried there, why was not
the hidden hoard discovered?
You will know why when you have
read the tale.

how the late composer, Brahms, treated
pianists and singers who were eager to get
his criticism. If one of these aspirants for
his favor was fortunate enough to find him
at home and be received, Brahms first con-
Germ was to seat himself on the lid of his
piano, a position from which he rightly
deemed few would have the temerity to
Gust him. If this failed he had recourse to
the statement that the instrument was out
OF tune. "Oh, that does not matter" re-
marked one courageous individual. ''Per-
haps not to you, but it does to me-" replied
the master. On one occasion he was Just
leaving his house when long haired youth,
