"Blackbeard."

About this time one of the most IA
nous of sea robbers was harassing the
Atlantic coast of North America, and
from New England to the West Indies
he was known as the great pirate
Blackboard" This man, whose real
name was Teach, was terrible fellow
in appearance as well as acts. He wore
IL long, heavy black beard, which it was
his fancy to separate into tails, each
one tied with a colorcd ribbon, and
often tucked behind his ears. Some of
the writers of that day declared that
the sight of this beard would create
more terror in any port of the American
seaboard than would the sudden az
pearance of fiery comet. Across his
brpwny breast he carried sort OF
sling, in which hung not less than three
pairs of pistols in leathern holsters,
and these, in addition to his cut,ass and
a knife or two in his belt, made him
Il most formida blelooking fellow. In
the early part of the eighteenth century
Blackboard made his headquarters in
one of the inlcts on the North Carolina
coast, and there he ruled as absolute
king, for the settlers in the vicinity
seemed to be as anxious to oblge him
as the captains of the merchantmen
were anxious to keep out of his way.

Maude meanwhile was folding up her
| rod and preparing to start for home.
Suddenly there was crashing in the
brush and Harry came rushing back,
his face as white as paper.
"Maude, Maude!" he shouted.
There's a cyclone coming straimht in
this direction and not more than mile
away. Drop everything and comet"
There was no time for question. The
twins seized their wheels and hurried
to the road.
Straight across the prairie, at right
angles with the road, there was moving
toward them a towering black column
! that rose from the earth to a cloud above
that was as black as midnight! Their
only hope was to ride out of its path be-
fore it reached them. Harry had said
mot more than mile away" but the
distance had been probably much
greater. Now, however, it was even
less than that, and there was a hum
ming sound in the air that was rapidly
becoming mighty and terrifying roar.
The air burned like the breath of an
oven.
The boy and girl sprang to their
wheels without an instant's delay and
! fed away in the direction of home,
which lay across the path of the storm.
| Wag kept ahead of them for some dis
lance and then abreast, running like
mad. Every other second the riders
turned their heads toward the APP
| preaching tower of darkness, which it
seemed they could never pass. 1t was
like racing with the moon that keeps
abreast of the flying train. Like it and
yet unlike, for the black, whirling death
seemed to widen as it approached and
night came down on the world. The
roar was now so loud as to be almost
| deafening.
The riders bent forward over their
haLdle-bars and raced as they had never
raced before. They were evenly
matched, for Maude, though a girl, was
thorough athlete. Wag had gradual
~ dropped behind in this frightful
struggle. All at once it grew so black
about them that they could not see the
road or each other. Then, as if seized by
mighty hands, they were lifted from
the ground and fang aside like toys.
Dust, dirt, leaves and branches show
cred about them, and they were whirled
over and over in helpless confusion,
Then suddenly they were left lying,
dazed and stunned, in heap of debris.
The roar grew less terrifying and the
sky lightened. The cyclone had
passed.
Harry was first to recover his voice.
"Maude!" he called, ARE you hurt ~
The girl half rose, resting on her
! hand
"Oh, Harry, 1 don't know" she an
swered. q am 50 whirled and blown
to pieces l can't tell"
What an escaped" said Harry, SOL
EMMY, suddenly looking at the tangled
and splintered woods. And see,
Maude, there comes Wag!"
Sure enough, from a drift of wreck
age a little way behind crawled the
noble Wag. He dragged one leg on the
ground and seemed in distress, but

ent, in a single glance, one may see on
Lake Pontchartrain, where the North
eastern railroad crosses it, a "pont"
(bridge), char" (car), and train"
(train), thus interpreting the prediction
name of Lake Pontchartrain into Lake
with bridge, car and train of cars.
Equally noteworthy is it that the word
Pontcnartrain, as here calculated, con-
tains very clear prediction of the dis
covery of steam power. the invention
of the steam engine, ara, the utiliza ton
of the locomotive and the steam rail-
road train as a means of transporting
freight and passengers in the day of en-
lightenment of the nineteenth century.
In fact in the single word Pontchsr-
train, as given by Iberville to the Lou
isiana interior lake near New Orleans,
was involved a prediction, unconscious
ly proclaimed by Iberville, of "a vision
of the future and the world that was to
be-" The world is crowded with Hora-
tics of The Hamlet variety, whose dim
philosophy fails utterly to grasp the
