Desdemona was strangled on a bed
at the back of the stage. and part OF
Irving's business was to leave the
bed and then, going back to it. to draw
the curtains slightly aside and peep In

of inexpressible anguish toward the

THE
BUCCANEERS
By r. A. Mitchell

Some 200 years ago piracy was muct
In vogue on the ocean. The bucca
neers Of that day arose in this way
The English and the Spaniards were
at war, aud the English fitted out pri
vateers to prey ON the Spanish ships
bearing treasure from Spain's Mexicc
possessions. When the war closed the
privateers continued their depredations
illegally under the flag of the skull
and bones instead of the cross of st
George After awhile the attention OF
the British navy was directed to eradf-
eating them, but it proved a slow proc,
ess and had not been e6tirely achieved
at the beginning of the last century.
One afternoon the English merchant
ship Petrol. Captain Stoughton sail.
Ing down the east coast of Mexico
passed corvet also bearing the Brit
ish flag and was asked II she had seen
anything of low cut, rakish vessel
Captain Stoughton replied that he lnld
not and passed on. An hour later,
coming to the mouth of the Rio Grande
river and the waters not being as well
charted in those days as now, he con-
cuded to run in a short distance and
lay at anchor till morning.
Now, when the Petrol entered the
river the low cut, rakish vessel men
toned was lying n trifie farther up
stream. Captain Stoughton brought
his glass to bear on her and didn't like
her looks. But it was nearly dark
when he discovered her, and he did
in the darkness.
Nevertheless as soon as the anchor
had been dropped he called his first
officer into his cabin, told him that he
suspected the craft he had seen to be
pirate and directed him to take a
boat and six men. go northward, find
the corvet and report the vessels pres
ence In the mouth of the river.
Meanwhile the captain of the pirate
lay low during the right. intending as
soon as daybreak to make a prize of
the Petrol. put the crew and every one
else on board to the sword and loot

But when light came heavy fog
came with it. This brought disap-
pointment to the pirate captain, as well
as TO Stoughton. though the latter was
not certain whether it would be dis
advantage or an advantage to him. 1t
certainly brought delay. and delay
meant suspense. Before break of day
he awoke all on board and, tell

each and every one Of them not to
make the slightest noise, even to speak
in whispers. There were women and
children on board, and the dread was
SO great that the order was obeyed.
The children were shut in the cabins,

PenaIizes Drunken Drivers.

Chapter I of the laws of 1913 was signed last week, says the Brewster, N. Y. Standard It was the Fitzgerald Levy bill aimed at intoxicated chauf- feurs who violate the speed ordinances to the peril of other persons. It is the first measure to receive Gov. Sulzer's approval and it made record in pass ing both houses and being signed by the Governor in one day.
 ''I'll sign it," Governor Sulzer said. II don't think there ought to be any drunken chauffeurs ; the sober ones have hard enough work dodging pedestri- ans."
 All of winch shows that, though the Governor is ready to punish drunken chauffeurs, the sober men of the craft have his sympathies Tn their navigation of crowded streets.
 The law makes certain the power of the courts ill the state to impose a pen alty of one years imprisonment or a fine of $500 or both in cases or violation.
