 The little band of men emerged from the concealment ot the fog noiselessly. I could distinguish no faces, scarcely indeed the outlines of their separate forms in the gloom, but one was an unusually pig fellow--Co- chose.

 There was a savage grow of re sponse, sudden leaning forward of dark figures.

 They moved off one by one, Estada leading, along the narrow strip of sand, five of them, on their mission of murder. The leader remained alone, his back toward where crouched, his eyes following their vanishing figures until the night had swallowed them.

CHAPTER VI.
The Mysterious Sail.

Where I leaned alone against the
 rail my eyes followed the Spaniard in
 doubt and questioning nor could | entirely bapish from mind Haiey's de-
 scription of that buccaneer bearing 3
 similar name. Yet, in spite of my un-
 conscious desire to connect these two
 together, l found it simply impossible
 to associate this rather soft-spoken, eff
 feminate dandy with that bloody vii
 lain.
 It was already quite dusk when we finally drew in beside Travers' wharf
 and made fast. Our approach had
 been noted and Travers himself--a
 white-halred, white-bearded man yet
 still hearty and vigorous, attfred in white duck--was on the end of the , dock to greet us, together with nu- merous servants of every shade oi color, who immediately busied them selves toting luggage up the steep path leading toward the house, stand Ing conspicuous amid grove of trees on the summit of the bank. The othr CTS followed, four fellows iugglng with  difficulty an iron-bound chest, the two older men engaged in earnest conver. sation, thus leaving Sanchez apparent ly we'll satisfied with the opportunity alone to assist the girl.
 Except to render the sloop com 'pleteiy secure for the night, there re- '=mained little work for us to perform 'on board. The four of us passed the |early evening undisturbed smoking and <alking together So the time passed quickly, and 1t must have been nearly nidnIght before we brought out bian- Bets from the forecastle and lay down 20 any spot we chose on deck.

EARLY SETTLEMENT IS.
 CONFIDENTLY EXPECTED

Paris, April S0.-The moderate tone of Premier Orlando's speech in the Italian parliament produced a good impression here and the pros poets of settlement of the differ ences over the Italian problem are. regarded in French circles at the peace conference as distinctly better. It is pointed out that the parliament has given Premier Orlando a free hand, while the publication of Presi- dent Wilson's memorandum also had helped to create the feeling of optim- ism indicated.

Those of Us Who Did Not Wear a Uniform Should Not Require

To the day Of their deaths the peo- pie of north France and Belgium win wear the look that has been set there by the more than four years of war they have endured For them there were no furloughs. There were no leaves from the front.
 The war came to them and it stayed. They were invaded regions. The ashes of war are there. And there, too, are Inc white crosses of the dead The place is one vast cemetery. German graves on one side of the line, allied graves in masses on the other. And there are areas where the dead oe friend and foe are closely mingled

 Here in America we escaped ali or that, Not field was furrowed or pit ted by shells. Not an acre served as a battlefield. Not more than two or three hostile shells ever touched our shores These were hurled by flee ing U-boat, a shark that had slipped up on the New England coast to hafass shipping It disappeared ana no more came.
 While never actually invaded, Eng land suffered 10 some extxent from the aircraft and raiding cruisers of the Hun. But the ashes of war lie thiekly over all Of north France and over practically every square mile of Belgium. They were in the path of the Destroyer

We were only in the edges oe the great hurricane of death and de- struction. Where we lost 70,000 dead our allies lost men by the millions. | The future is dark for France because of this.

 My startled eyes caught a glimpse Of speck of white emerging from the black shadows-the spectral glimmer of a small sail.

Karolyi Says They Are Responsible
 for Hungarian Boishevism.

Vienna, May 2.-"Communism is the only logical result of the policy of the entente toward Hungary and all so, perhaps, it is the only economic salvation left to us under present con- ditions yet the allies are astonished that we have gone Bolsheviki."
 This statement was made to the cor respondent few days ago by Count Micvhael Karoiy;, who established a republic in Hungary last October.
 The man who few months ago was rated a millionaire with thousands of acres of land admitted that at present he was writing a book in English on Hungary's communist experiment in the hope of earning sufficient money to stave off hunger.

The Spaniard twisted his mustache but exhibited little interest, although his gaze was upon the craft.
 Decidedly Dutch, I should say" he answered slowly. "The beggars seem quite at home there, with all their washing out. Not usual anchoraReY-
 'No, nor a particularly safe one. Travers' place Is beyond the bend. Wen put up with him tonight. D--n me, Sanchez, believe I'll hail the fellow and find out what he Is doing in there"
 Sanchez nodded. carelessIy striking flint and steel in an effort to relight a cheroot.
 We came about slowly. The dis. tance to be covered was not great, and in less than ten minutes we were drawing in toward the high stern of the anchored vessel.
 No evidence of life appeared on. board. although everything looked shipshape allow ana aloft, and rather extensive wash Tapped in the wind forward, bespeaking a generous crew. A moment later my eyes made out the name painted across the stern--Na- mur of Rotterdam.
 Fairfax leaned far out across the rail as we swept In closer, but the Spaniard exhibited no particular in. terest in the proceedings. A hundred feet distant I held the dancing sloop to mere steerage-way. while Fairfax hailed.
 A red-faced man with a black beard thrust his head up above the after rail and answered, using English, yet with a faint accent which was not Dutch.
 We ran down to see If you were in any trouble. This Is a strange place to anchor. What are you Dutch7'
 The fellow waved his hands in gesture indicating disgust.
 'Dat's eet. We're ov .Rotterdam- you see ze name ov ze sheep. But ve not sail frum thar dis time-no. Ve cum here from ze Barbadoes," he explained brokenly. "wiz cane sugar an hides. Ve wait here for our agent"

 In spite of my efforts the two ves- sells were drifting rapidly apart.

 Fairfax waved his hand to me to resume our course. Shortly after he crossed the deck to the wheel. There he stood watching the bark for some time.
 "What do you make .of her, Car lylef" he asked finally. sI believe that fellow lied"
 "So do l. sir" answered promptly. Whatever else he may be, he's no peaceful Dutch trader. That fellow got his accent from south Europe. If he was loaded with cane sugar and hides for market he wouldn't be near ly so high out of water. That bark was in ballast or miss my guess. Be sides if he was a trader where was. his crew? tell you the men on board that hooker had orders to keep down."
