ATT AG91A.yEUR PIRATE.
ssg.f. efe;sc Donaiet Turned from Farm
ing 80 FrecbootinG and Became
A Geeet1y RobDer.

Early in the eighteenth century there
lived at Bridgetown, in the island Of
Barbados, very pleasant, middle-aged
gentleman named Mai. Stede Bonnet.
lie was a man in comfortable. circUal-
stances and had been an officer in the
British army. He had retired from mil
itarv Service and had bought an estate
at BIidgetown, where be lived III COM
fort and was respected by his neigh
bors.
But for some reason or other tits
quiet and reputable gentleman got It
into his head that he should like TO be a
pirate Dut besides the general rea-
sons why Maj. Bonnet should not be
come a pirate, and which applied to all
men as we'll as to himself, there was
special reason against his adoption of
the profession Of sea rob5er-he was
an out-and-out landsman and knew
nothing whatever of nautical matters,
He was fond of history and well read in
the literature Of the day. He was ac-
customed to the habits Of good society,
and knew a good deal about farming
and horses and cows and poultry.
But Notwithstanding his absolute
fitness for such q life, Maj. Bonnet was
determined to become a pirate, and he
became one He had enough money to
buy a ship and to fit her out and man
her. and this he quietly did at Bridge
town, nobody supposing that he was
going to do anything mere than start
off on some commercial cruise. When
everything was ready his vessel slipped
out of the harbor one night, and after
he was sailing safely On the rolling sea
he stood upon the quarter deck and pro-
claimed himself a pirate. He ran up
the black flag, girded on great cut
lass, and folding his arms he ordered
his mate to steer the vessel to the coast
of Virginia.
Bonnet's men were practiced seamen,
AMID so,wf,en. this green Rand.:, came
, into the WtAs5rrs 81 Virginia HE actually
/ tobt' twoSor three Mssels and robbed
item Of their cargoeseburning the ships
and sending the crews ashore.
This had grown to be a common GUS
tom among the pirates, who, though
cruel and hard hearted, had not the
inducements of the old buccaneers to
torture and murder the crews of the
vessels which they captured. 1t was
called "marooning,' and was somewhat
less heartless than the old methods.
AS Bonnet wished to adopt the GUS
toms of the society in which he placed
| himself, when he found himself too far
from land to put the captured crew on
shore he did not hesitate to make them
walk the plank, favorite device Of
pirates whenever they had no conven-
lent way of disposing of their prisoners.
In one branch Of his new profession
Bonnet rapidly advanced. He soon be-
came. a greedy robber and cruel con-
queror lie captured merchant vessels
all along the coast as far north as New
England.-Frank r. Stockton, in St.

CHAPTER sZXI.

When they had put him in bigp soft
bed in the chamber adjoining Kola's
reception room, Hendricks went out to
the carriage. The green, curtain was
still down, bat he. saw that II. was pulled
aside, and that the occupant was peer
ing cautiously out. When she saw him
coming, she opened the carriage door
and looked anxiously into his face.
Hendricks smiled.
"Cielow is safe,'' he said. 'He is
weak, Of course, but he will pull through
all right"
She seemed unable either to answer
or to move. The stare of her eyes
seemed to indicate doubt on her part as
to the verify of the news.
ST think you might come in, if you
wish" added Hendricks. eve have put
him to bed, and the doctor is preparing
something warm for him"
Without a word, she got out of the
carriage, and dumbly followed him.
AS they were ascending the steps, She
paused halfway up the flight and
looked at Hendricks pitifully, and then
down at her feet. Her knees bent and
she clUtched MS arm.
I'll don't know what's the matter
with me-" she faItered. 81 don't seem
able to move. Oh, please pardon my
weakness"
"Tt's the shock" said Hendricks, al
most tcnderly. You must try to calm
yourself All the trouble is over, you
know and the prisoner is in chains"
Il Thought something serious had
happened" she said, slowly recovering.
81 heard the crash, and then, as you did
not appear, and the sergeant remained.
/ thought something was wrong"
perhaps you had better so back to
the carriage and not try to go in - sug-
gested Hendricks.
The remark seemed to rouse her to
action.
"0h, no, I must see him! lean help"
and, releasing his arm, she mounted the
steps unaided.
Hendricks led her to the door of the
room where they had taken Gielow.
Lampkin appeared on the threshold.
Hes begging to see you, Miss Hunt
ington," said he.
He pushed the door open, and when
she had gone. in he closed it and stood
facing Hendricks. For moment they
looked into each others eyes without
speaking. Then Hendricks turned
away abruptly.
He went into a little alcove eff the
big reception-room; and, glancing at
Denham and the sleeping Indian, he
rang the telephone.
He ordered from the nearest police
station patrol wagon, for the prisoner,
and an ambulance, with all the com
forts available, for the transportation
OF an invalid. Then he came and looked
down at Kola's face.

into the office, which was also the bar,
the bishop approached the counter and
said to the man in attendance: "Would

because Of the unmistakable cut Of the

cred thar I was back from Boston that
lie accidentally met the artist and ac-
conplIshed his purpose"
But Why cid Kola make the first at
tempt on your life?' asked the doctor.
Because he had already decided to
murder Caruthefs, marry the heiress
and continue his role Of Italian
count in New York, and was afraid that
I would sooner or later recognize him"
'.Dat the second attempt on your
life?" questioned Lampkin.
WAS because he found out that was
at the rooms CT Count Bantam the
morning after Cielow's apparent fight,
and was afraid l would finally discover
his disguise. I think from the fact that
he avoided me during that time that
he was afraid Of me, but after he played
the Bible trick on us I think he be
lieved he could frighten me out OF FOL
lowing Up the Bantinni clew and into
belief IN the guilt OF Gielow. However,
his fears got the best of him and he
decided to kill both you and me by
means of his dead-fall.'
Just then there was the sound OF a
gong down the road and the patrol
wagon dashed into view.
"-rhe ambulance will follow pretty
soon" remarked Hendricks. Doctor, !

Denham and Hendricks had led Kola
out to the wagon and put him in, and
Hendricks was about to climb in after
him when DR.. Lampldn came 70 the
door and signaIed to Hendricks to come
back.
Miss Huntington wants to see you
before you 60" he said.
A sheepish expression was mingled
with the flush on Hendricks face as
he entered the room where Gielow lay
awake and sm1ing contentedly. Miss
Huntington rose from. the. bedside AND

to Gielow, 81 cannot say what [ want

she put her arms around the neck OF
the detective and kissed him on the
lips. =.
Hendricks grew very red in the face
and saying something about wishing
he had it all to do over again, he backed
from the room. AS he turned at the
threshold he stumbled over a rug and
| almost fell into Lampkin's arms.
The doctor braced him up with q
| hand on each of his shoulders, and
grinnod and smacked his lips signifi
cantly. But Hendricks only swore. al
him, waxed redder in the face and de-
scended to the wagon and crawled il
beside Kola.

Half an hour later Hendricks went
the road. DR.. Lampkin was there walk
ing back and forth.
''How's Gielow?" asked the detec-
tive.
'Tip-top," answered the doctor.
Hell be at his easel in week. How's
the prisoner" a.
Resigned and meek as a lamb" an
swered the detective ''He made com
plete confession to Denham and my
self just now
"And presume the mystery is solved
at last" remarked Lampkin; tenta-
lively. 81 must say, however, that
I an still in the dark on one or two fea-
lures of the case. For instance, it
seems an unnecessary thing for Kola
to crenate the body and inform you
anonymously that the remains would
be found in the hotel"
''That seems to have been an. after
thought, and there was reason for it, >
explained Hendricks. "He was spend
ing pleasant evening with his victim
in Caruthers' rooms and committed the
deed sooner than he really intended.
Caruthers, it appears, was just begin
ming to suspect that Kola was not an
Italian, and a dispute arose between
them. Kola struck him a single blow
IN the temple, and he fell dead with
out a sound or blood"
''Ah, see!" exclaimed Iamplzin.
"Then,'' went on Hendricks, 'Kola
feared, as he was seen to enter Car
uthers' rooms, that he would be ,sus-
pected, so he quickly resorted to the eX-
cellent scheme of making it appear
that his victim had suddenly left the
city.
'I{e first crowded Caruthers' body
into one Of his big trunks and deliber'
ately west down to the street and en-
ployed a passing baggage7nan to come
up for the trunk, pretending that 1t
was. his. Without attracting notice,
he got the trunk delivered at his oWn
rooms in town, and early the nextmorn
ing had it removed out here by his In
dian servant. He next dropped Car
uthers' valet note from Philadelphia,
winch was mailed in that city by an
eastern confederate, and later he
forged another communication to Miss
Huntington.
''But, in the meantime, he was think
ing of some unique means Of totally
destroying the body. he ended by cut
ting it up and reducing it to ashes by
oxy-hydrogen flame, all except the
hand, which, for a time, escaped his
notice. He was about to throw the
ashes away when he ran across the
hand. Then the thought occurred to
him that unless it was proved beyond
doubt@that Caruthers was actually
dead There would be endless litigation
before Miss Huntington could come
into her uncle's estate. AS you know,
that would not have suited Kola, so he
put the ashes and hand in the vase, and
managed to get them into Caruthers'
apartments. His first idea was that 1T
would be taken for the work ola crank,

THEY LOVED TIE NEGRO.
A Southern Father and Som Defend
Their Former Slave, Who Is
Wrongly Accused.

Gen. Barnum, of Abbeville, S. c., had
body servant before the war who aped
him in everything. Peter so loved his
master that he grew to talk like him,
act like him and almost look like him.
He lives to-day, the heart of hospitality,
the soul Of honor. One Sunday two
white men drove up to the door Of his
cabin and asked if he had any liquor in
the house. He said he had about a
quart. They offered to buy. He re-
fused to sell, but, just as his old master
would have done, invited them to have q
drink. Having drunk they handed him
a half dollar. Of course, like his mas
ter, he declined the coin. The scoun-
drels went to town and swore out COM
plant that he was violating the dispen-
sary laws.
I happened to be in Greenville the
other day when the trial took place, and
saw a revelation. Peters counsel was
Gen. Barnum's son, adiutant general of
the state under Gov. John Gary Evans,
and the chief witness for the defense
was the general himself, who had come
. over IIOlI 1AOOCN111Co O1ioIolIo oOONAo 1OO
miles, to say word for his former slave.
The general took the stand and his son
said:
