had come within range of her and was
about to open IRE when an English
man al war hov. b sivht nd sent the
red rover sc,irrxino.
Cant. Noah had heep = w;dower fer
many years. For many years also he
had had an eve On the "Widder" Skin. !.
ner: when he rot through taxing out

her to- "iine'' with him. 1t was Il,
understood thing between them. ESch'
time that he sailed away the widow
adnonished him to look out for black
flags. and each time he returned home
she thanked Heaven for his escape.
As time went ON he came to his last
voyage. The pirates we're still doing
q brisk business at the old stand. but
the luck Of the Lucky Sally would take
her through. and then he'd settle down
and have home for the remainder OF
his days. On the night before the brig
was to sail Capt. Noah went up usual
to call on the window. at
Nancy, shall be back in about a
month" he said as he sat pokinr the
fire and eating an apple. "and then I'll
he around to milk the COW. feed the
hogs and wind the clock"
"Well, shall be kind O. glad on It !"
she replied with blush. "I do con
fess that it's sort o. handy to have a
man around. BY the way, Noah. did I
tell you that the cow had lost her cud ?"
"N-o-o-ai You don't say SOL"
Eyes, she has. nasn't been herself
for the last two weeks. When COW
loses her cud you can look for most
anything to happen"
what dye s'pose made her lose
it?" asked the captain after SOL
emn silence.
Dunno. unless she got to pining.~ -
"Pining for what?'
"For change of scenery, maybe,
I've been thinking. This is to be your
last voyage, and the COW has lost
her cud. Being as this is your last
voyage want you to be comfortabl bier
than usual. Being as the COW is pin.
ing, s'posen YOU fake her along and
give her change of scenery? Both
of you'n be the better for it."
"She'd be in the way.. replied the
cantain slowlv "but NJ the same
time there's the milk. Then she'd sort
o. remind me Of you. If change OF
scenery will brighten her up. I'll fetch
her back with her tail in the air. -
1t happened. therefore. that when
the Lucky Sally spread her wings next
morning and sailed out of Salem at her
usual lively speed of six miles an hour
the widows cow was on board.

it. He ate his breakfast and smoked

Her black flag had been thrown t
