to Miss Pinch. Mind, mind. or he'll
bite youn' as with cry of relief the
little woman grasped it recklessly.
The warning came too late, for the
bird, with a fiendish shrek, buried his
sharp beak in her finger, almost to the
bone. But Miss Pinch grit her teeth
and turning quietly away put the par
rot in his cage
He's frightened, poor thing, and
don't know what he's about" she
said, wrapping the injured finger in
her handkerchief.
Let me bind it up" her visitor

brute amt any exception"
You must not call him a brute,
demonstrated Miss Pinch, with pale
dignity He is most faithful and af-
fectionate. And, OH" she continued
in a burst of gratitude, Il am so
thankful to you for bringing him back

But he had finished bandaging and
started abruptly for the door Just

exclaimed, eagerly. "Oh, no; 1 like to
hear 1t very much"
ITS good company for me-" looking
pleased. Il live alone. Goodbye,
mann, and l hope your finger Il soon
heal up"
Perhaps during the fortnight her
kindly neighbor was more frequently
in Miss Pinch's thoughts than she her
self realized. When she met him one
warm evening walking in the square
near. her home there came an extra
tinge of red in her cheeks and a warm
glow i'll her bright dark eyes.
''How's the finger, MANI" he asked
stopping directly in her path.
''Oh, quite well, thank you"

how can see?" But the painted eyes
could not see what lay behind that
peaceful-looking craft.
Quickly the pirates were alongside
and swarming over the hammock-net-
tings. Then down fell the ports, bang
went the guns; it was up, boys, and
at EN-" and several hundred young
and rugged tars were slashing at the
pirates with cutlasses, shooting them
with pistols and tumbling them back
onto the decks of thelr pirate vessels or
into the water.
1t was all over in a few minutes,
and such of the junks as had not been
sunk fled away with such of the pirates
as had escaped the carnage.
They are swift, these pirate junks-
very swift as pirate craft should be
and the logy training ship could not
pursue to complete her work. But the
boys who composed her crew are the
only boys of modern times who have
ever really fought with pirates on the
high seas, and they are not a little
proud of 1t.

He couldn't have, man," said the

what hesitatingly, walking round the
square with me once or twice"
She glanced up quickly with a little
uncertainty. But the eyes that look
ed down at her were such honest,
kindly and respectful eyes, that she
accepted the invitation quite cordially.
1t is not a very long way about the
square, but they had made the jour-

that her neighbours name was bach

modest but sufficient salary; that he

She was lying quite still on her bed,
her face buried in the pillow, when
some hard knuckles applied themselves
vigorously to the door panel. Miss

a weak voice:

Then the little woman bathed her
face in cold water, smoothed her curly
dark hair and opened the door.
A tall figure stood in the hallway.
His eyes were almost as bright as
Miss Pinch's own and his hair about
three shades grayer. Miss Pinch
knew him at once for the supposed
possessor of the phonograph. He car
ried something done up in a white
cloth and looked down earnestly into
her upturned face as he asked:

T. c. Williams Company Is
sues Statement in Con-
neCtiOn With It's Plans.

At the Offices of the It. c. Williams
branch OF the British-American Tobacco
Company yesterday, the statement made
Yesterday morning In connection with the
plans of that concern was declared to be
in part incorrect 1t Is a fact that the
company has transferred the domestic
business to other branches, chiefly to But
er and Bosher. and 1t is also true that
1t has sold It's factory on Seventh Street
TO the Patterson Company and leased the
factory on Sixth Street. owned by the
Williams estate. But the company, 1t is
stated, has absolutely no idea of with
drawing from Richmond and transferring
the export business to Petersburg. It's in
tention Is In fact to manufacture export
tobacco here more largely than ever be-
fore.
In connection with the matter, the fol-
lowing official statement was made yes
terday by the company
I'VE beg to correct the statement made
In your issue of this date as TO the fu-
ture of the business of the t. G. Williams
Tobacco Company, 1t Is true that the
British-American Tobacco Company, Linz
tied, has sold TO the r. A. Patterson Com
pany the factory at the foot OF seventh
Street. Their reason for doing so Is that
the factory at the corner of Sixth and
Canal Streets Is better equipped ior the
manufacture OF export tobacco. We have
leased this factory and expect to manu-
facture tobacco more largely than ever
under the name of the II. c. Williams To-
bacco Company.
