Pauline turned in surprise.
She saw the slouching figure of the
cook suddenly stiffen to his full stall

of the cabin.

the thick throat of Boyd
"Lemme go, We scum he yelled!
"F'ilipo! Filipo. Stop this instant!
How dare you treat Mr.. Boyd in such
a manner?" cried the girl.
You say, give him drink. He say

with his squirming burden moment
and then passing through the door.
Drink. Ye illiterate fool drink!

he strobe toward the rail.
Pauline rushed upon him. The Peril
of her precious pirate stirred all her
courage. She saw her dreams vanish
ing-the chief narrator, navigator and
guide of the treasure voyage suspend
ed over the blue deep. Forgetting
that he was accustomed to conquer
twenty men single handed, she felt
only pity for his plight. Her soft but
determined hand gripped the cooks.
''F'ilipo, obey my orders." she com

into the sea.

Hicks and Owen rushed up from

rail. They found slouching, uncom-

Il don't KNOW don't believe any
body on board knows. Boyd himself

Pauline appeared to them in flutter-

THE man has been captured-he' S
been put in chains, has he not?" she
questioned. Yes, he's been sent to
the galley" replied Owen.
That seemed bad enough and safe
enough for Pauline.
But we must keep him alive" said
She He must not be starved. He is
a most picturesque character. He
sings the latest songs in perfect Eng
fish, and attempts murder in eifeti
ignorance"
A gruff, rumbling voice sounded
from the pirates bunk.
Il couldn't kill him-didn't have the
heart to kill him. Is he very bad OFF,
with careful attention he will live,
called the sarcastic voice of Owen.
