The closing exercises of Prof.
j. A. Goforth's school at the
Colyar school house Friday night
was splendid affair. The school
room was nicely decorated and
music, both vocal and instru-
mental, lent a very pleasing
charm to the occasion.

The very next morning there came
letter from Stede Bonnet to his
daughter Kate, in which he told her
that II was absolutely impossible for
him to return to the humdrum and
stupid life of sugar-plantins and cat
ue-raising. Having tasted the glories
of pirates career, he could never
again be contented with plain country
pursuits, So he was off and away. the

brave jolly Roger floating over mis-
head, He would not tell his dear
daughter where he was gone or what
he intended to do. for she would be
happier II she did not know. He sent
her his warmest love, and desired to
be most kindly remembered to her UNI

from time to time to send her presents

heard what had happened to Black

OFF in a piratical vessel, which haG
sailed for somewhere, in the middle Of

for him had gone with him, for he had
been seen running towards the water,
and afterward taking his place among
the oarsmen in boat which went
out to the departing vessel
May that unholy vessel be sunk as

1t was then that Ben Greenway
knocked upon the door.
Stede Bonnet's mind had been so
much excited by what he had been
talking about that he saluted His
brother-in-law and Dame Charter
without once thinking of his clothes.
They looked upon him as If he were
some unknown foreigner, person en-
tirely removed from their customary
sphere,

Towards the end Of the day Mr.. Del

Belinda, for there was no fit place for
them to lodge in the town. Although
urged by all, Stede Bonnet would not
accompany them. When persuasion
had been exhausted, Ben Greenway
promised Kate that he would be re-
spousibe for her fathers appearance
the next day, feeling safe in so doing
for, even should Bonnets shame re-
turn, there was no likely way in which
hescould avoid his friends.

CHAPTER xxi.
WISE MIR. DELApLAINE.

"A /ARLY in the next fore
t,&E,SS noon Kale and her COM
panions prepared to
e 10 another visit TO the town.
,urally she wanted to be with her
father as much as possible and to ex-
ert upon him such influences as might
maze him forget, in degree, the So
called glories of his pirate life and re-
turn with her and her uncle to Span
ish Town, where, she believed, this
misguided man might yet surrender
himself to the rural joys of other days.
Nay, more, he and she might hope for
still further happiness in Jamaica
home for Madam Bonnet would not be
there
As she came up from below, impa-
tent to depart, Kate noticed, getting
over the side, gentleman who had
just arrived in a small boat. He was
tall and goodlooking, and very hand
somely attired in a rich suit such as
was worn at that day by French and
Spanish noblemen. A sword with an
elaborate hilt was by his side, and on
his head high cooked hat. There was
fine lace at his wrists and bosom, and
he wore silk stockings, and silver
buckles on his shoes
Kate started at meeting here a stran-
She had read of the rich dress of men
of rank in Europe, but her eyes had
never fallen upon such costume. The
gentleman advanced quickly towards
her, holding out his hand. She shrank
back What did 1t mean?"
Then In second she saw her ia
Tiers face. This fine gentleman, this
dignifed and graceful man, was indeed
Stede Bonnet.
He had been so thoroughly ashamed
of his mean attire on the preceding day
that he had determined not again 10
meet his daughter and Mr. Delaplaine
in such vulgar guise So, from the re-
sources of the storehouses he had
drawn forth a superb suit Of clothes
sent westward for the governor of one
of the French colonies. He excused
himself for taking it from Blackboard S
treasure house, not only on account OF
the demands of the emergency, but be-
cause he himself had taken it before
from a merchantmen
Father" cried Kate, what has
happened to you? never saw such a
fine gentleman.
Bonnet smiled with compacency,
and removed his cooked hat.

he, Ito dress myself according to my

comfort the ponr mothers heart, who
eould not readily believe that because
Dicaory had s)i.ed away with great

would be sure to bring him back IN

ieved this, his words made some im-
preston on the good danes heart.
She could see some reason to believe
that Blackboard, having now so much
property in the town, might make a
short cruise this time, and mat any
day the Revenge, with her dear sou
on board, might come sailing into

DlCKORY STRETCHES HIS LEGS

kss NJ IL HERE were jolly times
S%xSsN " on board the swift ship
SsS u Revenge as she sped
through the straits of Florida on he's
way up the Atlantic coast The skies
were bright, the wind was fair, and the
warm waters vt the gulf stream helped
to carry her brayely on her way. But
young Dickory Charter ate so little,
tossed about so much in his berth,
turned so pale and spoke so seldom,
that the bold Capt Blackboard de-
clared that he should have some medi-
cine
Il shall not let my fine lieutenant
suffer for want OF drugs" he cried,
and when | reach Charles Town
shall send ashore boat and procure
some; and If the citizens disturb or IN
terfere with my brave fellows, I'll bonn
bard the town. There will be medicine
TO take on one side or the other,
swear" And loud and ready were the
oaths he swore
A pirate who carries with him an in
tended son-in-law is not likely, II he
be of Blackbeard's turn of mind, to sur
fer all his family plans to be ruined
for the want Of a few drugs.
An island with palm trees slowly rose
On the horizon and off this island it
was that, after good deal of lacking
and Close-haulirg, the Revenge lay to
to take in wa er, far better water
than that which had been brought
from Belize
''Do you want to go ashore in the
boat boy" sad Blackboard, really
mindful of the health of this projected
member of his fNmily, 1T may help
your appetite to Use your legs"
Dickory did mo- care to go anywhere,
but he had hardl said so when re-
vulsion of feeling came upon him, and
turning away so that his face might
not be noticed, he said he thought the
land air might do him good. While the
mon were at w3r' carrying their pals
from the WE'LL n1wn spring to the wa
ter barrels in t&r boat, Dickory strolled
about TO view he scenery, for 1t could
never have been expected that first
lieutenant in uniform should help to
carry water. At first the scenery did
not appear to be very interesting, and
Dicfory wandered slowly from here to
there, then sat down under a tree
Presently he rose and went to another
tree, little farther away from the
boat and the men at the spring. Here
he quietly took off his shoes and his
stockings, and, having nothing else II
do, made a little bundle of them, list
lessly tying them to his belt; then he
rose and walked away somewhat brisk
er, but not in the direction of the boat
He die not hurry, but even stopped
sometimes to look at things, but he
still walked little briskly, and always
away from the boat He had been so
used, this child of outdoor life, to
going about the word blretOoted, thar
1t was no wonder that he walled brisk
ly, being relieved Of his encTnhertng
shoes and stO"l ing.

The Belinda's captain had intended
to send his boat back to his vessel,
but now he determined to take her
himself This was such a strange sit
uation that it might need explanation,
Kate screamed when he made known
his errand What" she cried, my
father in the town, and did he not
come back with you? Is he sick? Ia
he wounded? Is he in chains?"
And my Dickory," cried Dame
Charter, was he not there? Has he
not yet returned to the town? 1t
must now be a long time since he
went away"
Il know not anything more than |
have told YOU said the captain. And
if Mr. Delaplaine and the two ladies'
will get into my boat, | will quickly
take you to the town and show you
where you may find Capt Bonnet and
learn all you wish to know"
When the little party reached the
town II attracted a great deal of at
tention from the rough roisterers who
were strolling about or gambling in
shady places. When the captain Of
the Belinda mentioned, here and there,
that these newcomers were the family
of Blackbeards factor, who now had
charge Of that pirates interests in the
town, no one dared to treat the elder
ly gentleman, the pretty young lady
or the rotund dame with the slightest
disrespect. The name Of the great
pirate was safe protection even
when he who bore it was leagues and
leagues away
At the door of the storehouse Ben
Greenway stood waiting. He would
have hurried down to the pier had
