must admit there was the one chance; and in no other action could l per ceive even that much encouragement. If Dorothy Fairfax was already in the hands of these men, then my only op- portunlty for serving her lay in my being close at hand. No alternative presented itself; no other effort could be effective. It was already too late to attempt the organization of res cue party. No, the only choice left was for me either to accompany the girl or else abandon her entirely to her captorS. I must either face the possibility of discovery and capture, which as surely meant torture and death, or, otherwise play the coward and remain impotently behind. So l drove the temptation to falter away and strode on up the bank into the black shadow of the trees.
 I found extremely hard walking as I advanced through tangled under brush, Fortunately the distance was even shorter than I had anticipated. It was not until after had advanced cautiously into the water and then stopped low to thus gain clearer vision along the surface that I succeeded In locating the vessel sought. Even then the Namur appeared only as mere shadow, without so much as light showing aboard, yet apparently an chored in the same position as when we had swept past the previous after noon. I waded straight out through the lines of surf, until all excepting the head became completely sub merged. If I were to reach the bark at all this was the one opportunity.
 stood there, resisting the undertow tugging at my limbs and barely able to retain my footing, intent upon my purpose. Full strength had come back to my muscles and my head was again clear With strong, silent strokes swan forward, directly breasting the force of the incoming sea, yet making fair progress. Some uncOnSidered cur rent must have swept me to the right, for, when the outlines of the bark again became dlmly visible through the night I found myself we'll to star board of the vessel Stroking we'll under water and with only my eyes exposed above the surface, I changed my course to the left and slowly and cautiously drew in toward the star board bow. A few moments later, un- perceived from above, and protected from observation by the bulge of the oyerhang and density of the shadow,

 could now perceive now clearly the character I was destined to assume when once safely aboard the Namur Such an assumption would involve but slight danger of discovery. It was as though q miracle had opened the way, revealed to me by the unconscious lips of these two half-drunken, gossiplng sailors. The story told fitted my ne- cesslties exactly. Had 1 planned the circumstances myself nothing could have been better prearranged. No one on board had seen the missing man by daylight; he was believed to have sunk without struggle. Yet no one knew positively that this was so, be- cause no one cared. The death of the lad had simply been taken for granted when LeVere had failed to see his body rise again to the surface. Yet it was quite within the realm of poSSi- bility for the fellow to come up once more in that darkness, beyond Le- Yere's range of vision, and even to have remained afloat, buOyed up by clinging to the anchor hawser, until strong enough to return on board. At least there was no one aboard the Ma mur able to deny that this had been done.
 Satisfied by this reasoning of being able to pass myself off as the dead man, I began slowly and cautiously to drag myself up the taut hawser. I had chosen a fortunate moment for my effort; no one needed the little noise I made, and, when finally topped the rail and was able to look inboard 1t was to discover a deserted fore deck, with the watch all engaged at some task amidships. crept down the fore castle ladder and worked my way aft beneath the black shadow of the port rail, until able thus to drift unnoticed into a group tailing onto Q mainsail halyard.

A Swim to the Namur.


 All was black, hopeless; with head buried in my hands sat on thwart, dazed. Before me, pleading, expres- sive of agonized despair, arose the sweet face of Dorothy Fairfax. No doubt by this time all was over-the dead body of Sanchez discovered, the protected attack on the house carried out, the two old men left behind, ei- ther dead or severely wounded, and the girl borne off helpless prisoner. Ay, but this knew; there was only one place to which the villains might flee with their booty-the Namur of Rot terdam. Only on those decks and well at sea would they be safe or able to enjoy their spells. The thought came to me in sudden revelatlon-why notf Was not here a chance even yet to foil them? With Sanchez dead no man aboard that pirate craft could recog- nize me. felt assured of this. had fought the giant negro in the dark; he could not, during that fierce en- counter, have distinguished my fea- lures any more clearly than l had his own. There was no one else to fear. If only l might once succeed in get ting safely aboard, slightly disguised, perhaps and mtngle unnoticed among the crew, the chances were not bad for me to pass undetected. Such ships carried large crews and were constant ly changing in personnel. A strange face appearing among them need not arouse undue suspicion. And felt convinced I could locate the Namur. But could I hope to attain the ship in advance of the returning party of raiders? God helping me, would try My brain throbbed with fresh resolu- tlon-the call to action.
 There were oars in the boat. shipped the useless rudder inboard I and chose my course from the stars. My boat had drifted considerably far ther out into the bay than had SUD- posed, and 1t required good half hour of steady toll at the oars before I sighted ahead of me the darker out lines of the shore. At first l could identify nothing, but finally there sud denly arose, clearly defined. the gaunt i limbs of dead tree, bearing q faint 1 resemblance to a gigantic cross, that had been pointed out on the sloop. This peculiar mark was at the extrem- Ity of the first headland lying north of the point Itself, and consequently | a straight course across the bay would | land me within five hundred yards of where the Namur had last been at anchor.

 Tapping ragged edges in the gusts of wind. Suddenly, as I stared upward, I became aware that two men were working their way out along the foot ropes, and, us they reached a point al- most directly over my head, became busily engaged in tightening the gas kets to better secure the loOsening sail. The foot of one slipped, and he hung dangling, giving vent to a stiff English oath before he succeeded In hauling himself back to safety. The other indulged in a chuckling laugh, yet he was careful not to speak loudly.
 Had one drink too many, Tom" he asked. "That will pay yer fer fin ishin' the bottle an never givin' me another sup"
 You, h-l! Yer he'd the fu'st oV It. Thar's no sorter luck yer don't git yer fair share of, Bill Haines-trust yer fer thet What aln't got straight yet is whar thet stuff cum from so easy"

He never hailed us, ner nuthin'; just clim over into the boat, an lay down. I shook him, an kicked him, but it want no use; so we just left him lie thar fer Manuel ter say whut wus ter be done with him. Only Jose he went through his pockets an found three bottles O rum.

 '"Thet's mOre'n I'll ever tell yer. I never got no sight O him, 'cept in the dark. Bout all l know Is he wus white, an likely a sailor. Enyhow, when Manuel got back he told us to haul the lad forrard out O the way, an fetch him along. So we pulled out with the feller cuddled up in the bow"
 "I never seed nuthin' more of him after he was hauled aboard. Whut become O the lad?"

THE FAIR,

The Mt. Vernon Fair is over
aud from standpoint of the ex.
hibits, both in floral hall and
show rings and the splendid
crowds. the 1850 exhibition sur
passes any that we have had.
When we say it was the best we
are quoting from others. and
some who have never thought
much of the fair in the past. were
so Thoroughly pleased that they
have declared themselves ever here
after fair boosters.
The midway was a failure but
that was all due to the fact that
the Coley's Greater Shows,
which were to furnish all conces-
sions, free acts etc never did
get on the grounds as the re-
suit of the strike on the {. Il o.
railroad, the cars containing all
the outfit is still standing on the
side track at Prestonburg. No
merry.go round, Ferris wheel or
anything that Will amuse the lit
tie folks. But without the Mid
way the crowd never got weary
and there was something doing
all the time to entert ain them.
The Mt. Vernon Band furnishe d
the music. which was good and
plenty of it. Mt. Vernon, like
Berea, where they played last
week. has already told the boys
to be ready for next year. The
soldier boys under command OF
Lieut.. Vic Price and Sergt. Ever
EFT Mullins furnished the crowd
the entertainment which brought
them up to the highest tension,
The majority of the thirty or
forty boys in the march had seen
service in France and some bore
the marks of the real fighting.
Nothing could have been appre-
ciated more. Good horses and
good cattle were shown in every
ring and in some of those rings
appeared some of the best Rock.
castle Scounty horses and cattle
ever shown in any fair in the
county. The Floral Hall was the
admiration of everyone who saw
it. 1t was PROFESSIONALLY the
best ever shown at the Mt. Ver-
non Fair. Next week will appear
a list of all prize winners.
