CHAPTER vi.
The Mysterious Sail.

Where / leaned alone against the
rail my eyes followed the Spaniard in
doubt and questioning, nor could /
entirely Danish from mind Haley's de-
scription of that buccaneer bearing a
similar name. Yet, in spite of my I'M
conscious desire to connect these two
together, l found 1t simply impossible
to associate this rather soft-spoken, eff
Terminate dandy with that bloody viii
lain.
1t 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-haired, white-bearded man, yet
still hearty and vigorous, attired in
white duck-was on the end Of the
dock to greet us, together with nu-
merous servants of every shade Of
color, who Immediately busted them
selves toting luggage up the steep
path leading toward the house, stand
ing conspicuous amid a grove of trees
on the summit of the bank. The 9TH
ers followed, four fellows Juggling with
difficulty an iron-bOund chest, the two
older men engaged in earnest CONVEX
%sation, thus leaving Sanchez apparent
ly we'll satisfied with the opportunity
alone to assist the girl.
Except to render the sloop com-
pletely secure for the night, there re-
NAMED little work for us to perform
on board. The four Of us passed the
early evening undisturbed smoking and
talking together. So the time passed
quickly, and it must have been nearly
midnight before we brought out blan-
kets from the forecastle and lay down
in any spot we chose on deck.
1t was a fair, calm night, but moon
less. with but little wind stirring, and
a slight haze in the air, obscuring the
vision. The others must have fallen
asleep Immediately. At last, despair
ing Of slumber, and perchance urged
by some premonition of danger, /
arose to my feet and moved silently
aft.
My startled eyes caught q glimpse
Of q speck of white emerging from the
black shadows-the spectral glimmer
Of q small sail. The strange craft
swept past. so far out that those on
board no doubt believed themselves
beyond sight from the shore. heading
apparently for a point Of land. which
i vaguely remembered as jutting out
to the n%orthward.

GRANDMA USED SAGE
TEA TO DARKEN HAIR
She mixed Sulphur with IL to Re
store Color, Gloss, Youth
fuIness.

Common garden sage brewed into a
heavy tea with sulphur added, will
turn gray. streaked and faded hair
beautifully dark and luxuriant. Just
n few applications will prove a revela-
tton if your hair is fading, streaked or
gray. Mixing the Sage Tea and Sui
phur recipe at home, though, is trou-
blesome. An easier way Is to get a
bottle of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound at any drug store all ready
Tor use. This Is the old-time recipe
improved by the addition Of other In,
gradients.
While wispy, gray, faded hair is not
sinful, we all desire to retain Jul
youthful appearance and attractive
ness. BY %darkening your hair with
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound,
no one can tell, because 1t does 1t so
naturally. SO evenly. You just dampen
sponge or soft brush with 1t and
draw this through your hair, taking
one small strand at a time by morning
Ill gray hairs have disappeared, and,
after another application or two, your
hair becomes beautifully dark, glossy,
soft and luxuriant.-Adv.

Love Knows No Rank.

The little girl from Texas shyly ask
ed the officer of the day where Rob
ert - could be found.
She had his picture with her. Did
not the lieutenant wish to see It? No,
o. but in the picture Robert had his
machine, "and everything"
Well, yes, the lieutenant might take
a look at 1t. The girl really was very
pretty.
The lieutenant glanced at the pic
ture. Robert was a big, good-looking
fellow. But what was this? Why,
the fellow was leaning nonchalantly
against the basket of q balloon.
The telephone rang. Robert had
been located. The officer detailed a
guard to escort the young woman to
her affianced.
They reached his company. A man,
his back turned, was outside the kitch-
en- door, busily scrubbing pans. A
look of sympathy came into the eyes
Of the girl until-he turned.

And as his arms went around her
she never missed his machine.-FOrt

Sanchez nodded, ca~relessly striking
flint and steel in an effort to relight q
cheroot.
We came about slowly. The dis
lance 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 and aloft. and a rather
extensive wash tapped In the wind

A moment later my eyes made out the
name painted across the stern-Na-

Fairfax leaned far out r the
rail as we swept In closer. but the
Spaniard exhibited no particular In

feet distant I held the dancing sloop

hailed.
A red-faced man with a black beard
