CAUGHT a PIRATE.

There, there, Myre. don't take on
so about the boys playin' pirate. Boys
will be boys besides which, it's in the
lads blood. Well, it jes is. though it
happened so fur back that I amt ad-
zackly sure what the kinship was. My
grand-dad ust to tell the yarn and he
said it showed tibet you didn't want
to start out to be too tarnal wicked
onless you was sure you had the draft.
Fer it takes jest as big a man. grand
dad ust to say, to be turrible wicked
as it does to be turrible good.
1t happened a long ways ago when
Virginia belonged TO old King Charles,
and he had a governor over here to
try and assimulate the redskins into
good English subjects.
This here Governor did all right
excepting fer one thing. The colony
was troubled nightly by pirates COM
ing on little excursion parties up from
the Spanish main. Most of these pi-
rates was Spanish and some was
French, but the worst of the bunch
was a Englishman they called Bloody
Brisket. and his three sons, Helrs
Bilge and Maiden's Prayer and Baby
Tommy They said old Brisket had
been a heightened gentleman onct, but
that didn't trouble him none in his
latter days.
He had a crew of a hundred roaring
lost souls, and one day they'd lick up
a poor ship anywhere from twice to
six times their tonnage, and the next
they'd run in and wipe a town off the
map, men. women, children, sOjers and
all. Brisket himself was a red bearded
mountain OF a man and he wore
chain that went three times around
his shoulders, all made of rings he'd
