pulling the ships stern around so that the wind would take her on the other bow. She was still hanging in the wind and driving straight on shore.
 Haul awayw cried Morgan, but the hawser came in board through their hands with readiness and ease that showed the anchor had not taken the ground. The drag of the cable to the anchor, however, and the still unspent impetus of the first swing turned the galleon's stern slightly to windward. Her head began slowly to fall oil.
 "She stays. She makes 1t" cried the captain. Meet her with the helm. Let go and haul! Cut away the hawserw
 It had been a tremendous feat of sea- manship and bade fair to be successful. It was yet touch and go, however, and the breakers were perilously near. They were writhing around her fore foot now. yet the wind was at last con- ing in over the other bow.
 :. Were safe.' cried Morgan. "Flat- ten in forward. Haul aft the sheets and braces"'
 At that instant there was a terrific crash heard above the roar of the tenn pest. The fore topmast of the Almi- rante Recalde carried sharply of at the hounds. Relieved of the pressure, she shot up into the wind once more and drove straight into the seething seas.
 The men were as quick to see the danger as was Morgan. They came rushing aft. barring their weapons. pour ing curses and imprecations upon him. He stood with folded arms. scornful smile on his old face. looking upon them, Carib watching and ready by his side. In another second. with a con cussion which threw them all to the deck, the doomed ship struck heavily upon the sands.

1.-Two days later they made 8 II landfall off the terrific coast of
 Caracas. where the tree clad
 mountains soar into the clouds abruptly from the level of the sea, where the surf beats without intermis- tion even in the most peaceful weather upon the narrow strip of white sand which separates the blue waters of the Caribbean from the massive cliffs that tower above them.
 Tn the intervening time the south Eea buccaneers had picked up wonder fully. These men. allured by the hope of further plunder under a captain who had been so signaily successful in the past and in the present. constituted a most formidable auxiliary to MOr- gan's original crew. Indeed with the exception of the old hands. they were the best of the lot LOll0nois had Deen admitted among the officers on a suitable footing. and there was little or no friction among the crews. They were getting hammered into shape. too, under Morgan's hard drilling. and 1t was a vastly more dangerous body of men than the drunken gang who had -7iled from Jaruaiea-

S over a century had been the home of the governors of La Guayra. He was gazing listlessly down over the parapet which bordered the bare sheer precipice towering above the seaport town. There was nothing in his eyes. but a great deal in his heavy heart.
 Captain Alvarado. who filled the hon. orable station of comandante of the port. was soldier of proved courage. The protege and favorite officer of his serene highness the Count Alvaro de Lara. grandee of Spain and viceroy of Venezuela. be had been honored with great responsibilities. which he had dis charged to the satisfaction of his mas ter. From a military point of view the office of governor of La Gusyra. which he then filled. was of sufficient impor- tance to entitle him to high position and much consideration in the vice re- gal court of Caracas.
 Of unknown rarentage. Alvarado had been received into the family of the viceroy when an infant He had been carefully reared. almost as be had been De Larz's son. and had been given abundant opportunity to distinguish himself. In the course of his short life he had managed to srnass a modest fortune by honorable means. He vas young and handsome He had been in structed. for the viceroy had early shown psrtislity for him. in the best schools in the new world His educa- ton had been ripened and polished by a sojourn Of several year fn Europe. not only at the court of Madrid. bu. also at that of Versailles. where the Count de Lara had been sent as am bassador 10 the grand monarch during a period in which. for the sake of s7 perTfsine the esi1catio1 of his only daughter. be had temporarily sb<s1se1 himself from his beloved yenezueia That aa unknovn nan sbouh have been given such opportunities. should have been treated with % n1ch coo siier7fio1L uss suGcsenf conDenearJ on the unprecedented kindness of hears of the old hidalz0 who represented tbs fsfIfrg power of his noet c.shor< n.teesy of spain Csrsos IL the Be wifcAed Ir tse pew vor,d whafev4 hts 0f6z. thefefGe. be hsd bees brszehs - as .

ering tree clad mountains-the cor dilleras of the shore-had touched at Jamaica. There she had been received with due honor. as became the daugh- ter Of so prominent parsonage, by the vice governor and his wretched wife. Morgan's heart had been in- famed by the dark, passionate beauty Of the Spanish maiden. It was only by severe restraint enjoined upon himself by his position that he had re- fralned from abusing the hospitality he extended by seizing her in the old buccaneer fashion. The impression she had made upon him had been lasting. and when be found himself alone. an outlaw, all his dreams of the future centered about this woman.
 He would carry out the plans which be had outlined to bis men. but the Pearl of Caracas. for so Donna Mer- cedes was called. must accompany him to the south seas to be the island queen of that buccaneer empire of which he was to be the founder. That Donna Mercedes might object to this proposi- ton. that she might love another man. might even be married by this time. counted f5r nothing in Morgan's plans. He had taken what he wanted by dint of his iron will and the strength of his right arm in the past, and he should continue the process in the future.
 Consequently he was most reluctant that morning. for his passion had in- creased with each o'errun league O, sea. 10 bear away from La Guayra. which was the port Of entry for Cara cas. But even his ardent spirit was at last convinced of the necessity.

| he would have greater force of guns to train upon the forts of the town,
 which he expected to take without
 much difficulty. and then be governed
 in his maneuvers toward Caracas by circumstances as they arose.
 Two days after the capture of the
 galleon, then. with the wind fresh from the northeast, on a gray. threatening stormy morning, she was running to the westward along the shore. A few hours at their present speed would bring them opposite La Guayra, whose
 location at the foot of the mighty
 Ia Silla of Caracas was even then discernible. Morgan could see that there were two or three other vessels opposite the town straining at their anchors in the heavy sea. Every prep aration for action had been made in good time, and the guns had been load ed. The sea lashinzs had been cast oil, although the gun tackles were careful ly secured, for the wind was blowing fresher and the sea running heavier every hour.
 The men were armed to the teeth. There happened to be a gOOdly supply Of arms on the Spanish ship. in addi- ton 10 those the buccaneers had brought with them, which were all ais tributed.
 Everything was propitious for their enterprise but the weather. The vet erans who were familiar with local conditions in the Caribbean studied the northeastern skies with gloomy dis satisfaction The wind was blowing dead inshore. and as the struck bells denoted tie passing hours with each half hourly peliOf f grew appreriably stronger. If it continued to blow or if. as # was almost certain. the strength of the wind increased it would be impossible without jeJpardizing the ship t0 come to anchor in the exposed roadstnad. Thcy would have to run for f. Nay. more. they would have 70 beat out to sea against it. for the coast line beyond La Guayra turned rapidly to the nO-thvsrti.
 Morgan was a bold and sklllful mar  finer. and he held his course parallel to the land much longer than was p-1- dent He was Io1th- indeed. to alan don even tenporarlly a design upon which be had determined. and as be had rapidly run down his sOuthInz in this brief cruise hfs determination had ben q1Sckeued by the thought of his growing Eesr1ess t0 the Peari of Ca rsczs until f0- the moment I0re-o- what he called lo-ehzd slnost made him fsrget the treasure ia the ship b. rezth his feet for the Pearl os Cara czs -1s woman

 'To the braces. lads! Obey orders sharply! It's our last chance"
 The water was roaring and smash. ing against the shore not a cables length away. Usually in those lati- tudes it deepened tremendously a short distance from the low water mark, and there was grave question whether or not the anchor, with the scope they could give it, would reach bottom. At any rate, 1t must be tried, and tried now. Morgan had held on as long as he dared. Another minute and they would strike.

 The lateen sail on the crossjack yard had been furled. and Morgan, to force her head around, directed the after guard to spring into the mizzen rig ging with bit of tarpaulin and by ex- posing it and their bodies to the wind to act as sail in assisting her to head away from the shore.
 Helm a-lee! Hard a-leew cried Hornigold, who. with his men, was grasping the spokes like giant.
 Slowly the old galleon swung up into the wind. the waves beating upon her bows with noise like crashes of thun- der A moment she hung. She could go 10 farther.
 "She's in irons! Swing that yardw roared Morgan. "Cut and veer away forward!'

He was soldier. an ofA- cer of the bodyguard of the viceroy, and he bore in his hand letter sealed with the De Lara coat of arms. The messenger saluted and handed the packet to the captain.

 self. To betray his friend was almost
 as bad as to betray his patron. It was not to be thought of.
 Yet how could he, man in whoso blood-though 1t may have been ig-
 noble for aught he knew-ran all tho
 passions of his race with the fervof and fire of the best. man who loved,
 as he did, the ground upon which the Senorita de Lara walked. stand byl i; tamely and see her given to another, no matter who he might be?
 Spain under the last poor, crased,
 bewitched, degenerate descendant of. the once formidable Hapsburgs had reached the lowest depths of ignominy, and decay. Alone almost under her flag Venezuela was well gove from the Spanish standpoint From the native American pol, view the rule of even the gent. ! Spaniards had made hell on cart .l the fairest countries of the new I tinent. Of all the cities and garris .! which were under sway of the viceroyl de Lara, La Guayra was the best ap-l' pointed and cared for. But 1t did not require great deal of time or at-i tention from so skilled a commander. as Alvarado to keep things in proper shape. Time, therefore, hung heavily, on his hands.
 On the other side of the mountainl range. after a descent of several thou-i sand feet to beautiful veriant valley whose altitude tempered the tropic heat of the low latitude into a salubriousI and delightful climate. lay the palacel of the viceroy and the city which sur rounded it, St. Jago, or Santiago de Leon, commonly called the city of Ca. racas.
 Many a day had Alyarado turned backward from the white walled, red roofed town spread out at his feet, bak- ing under the palms, seething in thei fierce heat, as if striving to pierce with his gaze the great cordilleras, on the farther side of which in the cool white palace beneath the gigantic ceibas the, queen of his heart made her home. He pictured her at all hours of the day; he dwelt upon her image. going over again in his mind each detail of her face andl figure.
 He was mad, mad with love for her. crazed with hopeless passion There seemed to be no way out of his misery. but for him to pass his own sword through his heart, or to throw himself from the precipice. or to plunge into the cruel blue of the enveloping Carib- bean-the color of the sea changed in his eye with his temper, like a woman's mood. Yet he was young: he hoped in spite of himself. He prayed-for he was not old enough to have lost faith and he planned. Besides, he was too brave a soldier to kill himself, and she was not yet married. She was not formally betrothed even. although It was well known that her father look ed favorably upon De Tobar's suit; no formal announcement had been made of 1t as yet So, In spite of his judg- ment, he dreamed. The thoughts of youth and love are long. long thoughts, indeed.
