A PIRATE POTENTATE-
From n Secluded Welsh Farm to the

Mr.. Frank r. Stockton, in his "Buc-
cancers of Our Coast" in St. Nicholas,
says:
Sometime in the first half of the sew
enteenth century, on secluded Welsh
farm was born little boy. His father
was a farmer, and his mother churned
and tended the cows and the chickens,
and there was no reason to imagine
that this baby, born and reared in rural
solitude, would become a rover of the
seas and one of the most formidable
pirates that the world ever knew. Yet
such proved to be the case.
The baby's name was Henry Morgan,
and as he grew distaste for farming
grew with him. So strong was his dis

he ran away to be sailor. He found a
ship bound for the West Indies, and in
this he started on his iife's career. He
had no money to pay his passage, and
he therefore followed a usual custom of
those days and sold himself for term
of three years to an agent VINO was ak

plantations. These men when enlisted
were termed servants, and when they
they were generally called slaves, and
certainly treated as such.
When young Morgan reached the
Barbardoes he was rasold to planter
and during his term of office he prob
ably worked q good deal harder, and
was treated much more roughly, than
any of the laborers on his fathers farm.
But as soon as he was a free man he
went to Jamaica, and there were few
places where young man could be
more free and independent than this
lawless island.
Here were rollicking and clustering
"flibusters," and here the young man
determined to study piracy. He was

force of circumstances gradually be-

selected his profession, and immediate
ly set to work to acquire knowledge OF

this Morgan enlisted. He was clever
fellow, and very soon showed himself
to be brave and able sailor.
