Now, such readers as have been
gentle" enough to follow me so far in
my story. may possibly desire to be
told what lay behind those other
locked doors in the underground gal
lery where l so nearly laid my bones.
Those caverns we afterward dis
covered, did actually communicate
with B~lackbeard's ruined mansion, and
the king" who has now rebuilt that
mansion and lives in it in semifeudal
state with Calypso and me, is able to
pass from one to the other by under
ground passages which are an unfail-
ing source Of romantic satisfaction to
his dear. absurd soul.
AS to whether or not the mansion
and the treasure were actually Black
beard's-that Is, Edward Teach's-we
are yet in doubt. though we prefer to
believe that they We're. At all events,
we eve found any evidence to con
meet them at all with Henry =. Tobias,
whose second treasure, we have every
reason to think, still remains undis-
covered.
AS for the sinister and Inflated
Henry p. Tobias, Jr., we have since
learned-through Charlie Webster,
who every o and again drops in
with sailors from his Sloop and carries
off the liking" for duck hunting-that
his real name was quite different; he
must have assumed, as a nom de
guerre, the name we knew him hv, to
give color to his claim. an afraid,
therefore, that he vas q plain scoun-
drel. after all, though it seemed to me
that I saw CLEANS in him Of something

he invested his abduction of Calypso.

hurried upstairs and darted outside.
Beethoven was walking close to
the building, peering into various
windows that came in his way. She
saw him stop before one near the
front of the house, and as she watched
a hand came out of the aperture and
seized the cat. drawing him inside.
Without stopping to consider whose
room Beethoven had entered, Velma
hurried to the window and stood
looking down at Ned holding the cat
