 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.

 ''So do I, sir" I answered promptly. ''Whatever else he may be, he's no peaceful Dutch trader. That fellow got his accent from south Europe.

CHAPTER VT.
The MYsterieus safL

Where 1 leaned alone against the rail my eyes followed the Spaniard in doubt and questioning, nor could I entirely banish from mind Haley's de- scription of that buccaneer bearing a similar name. Yet, in spite of my un- conscious desire to connect these two together, I 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 hirnself-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 grove of trees on the summit of the bank. The Oth- CTS followed, four fellows Iugging 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 pletely 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 talking together. So the time passed quickly, and it must have been nearly midnight before we brought out blan- l.ets from the forecastle and lay down ] in any spot we chose on deck. It was a fair, calm night. but moon less. with but little wind stirring, and , a slight haze in the air. obscuring the

Haley dropped off to sleep, but my mind continued to wander until it con 5ured up once again this West Indian pirate. His name and the story of his exploits had been familiar to me ever since I first went to sea While only one among many operating in those haunted waters his resourceful- ness, daring and cruelty had won him an infamous reputation, a name of horror. Tn those days, when the curse of piracy made the sea q terror, no ordinary man could ever have sue ceeded in attaining such supremacy in crime.
 Black Sanche2-and Faley pictured him as daudifed, ordinary appear ing Individual. with white and red complexion. a small m-stache and flashing dark eyes-a mere Spanish gallant without special distinction. Why, that description. strangely enough. fitted almost exactly this fel- low on board this other Sanchez.
 The suspicion which had crppt into my mind was so absurd, so uuspcak- ably silly and impossible that laughed at myself and dismissed the crazy thought. Chuckling over it l finally fell asleep.

BLANCHE SWEET is TAR OF FAM
Gus ENGLISH MELO-
DRAMA

Blanche Sweet, the magnetic Jesse D.
Hampton star. is the attraction at the
Topic theater today in a seven-part spe.
cial Pathe feature. "A Woman of Pleas.
ure." 1t is a photo.dramatization of a
melodrama written by James Willard
and presented many years ago with
great success at the famous Adelphi
theater in London. This theater is a
close competitor of the Drury Lane,
famed for more than a century for its
melodramas.
"A Woman OF Pleasure" is the stir
ring tale of a woman who married to
escape poverty. Her callous husband
weds her to silence the only witness of
his crime. Then his handsome young
mine superintendent enters the story
and complicates matters by falling in
love with the wife. In British South
Africa the story is brought to a thrill
ing climax. The small British camp is
attacked by the Zulus. An observation
balloon figures in a spectacular manner
in bringing aid. In the end of course,
the problems of the hero and heroine
are solved.
Wheeler Oakman is heroic figure as
the lover, Wilfred Lucas is utterly de-
testable as the villain husband, and
Wesley Barry and his freckled visage
wins laughs as the boy, Danny. Blanche
Sweet has never been more beautiful

COUNTY BUYS
INDEBTEDNESS
CERTIFICATES

A million and three quarters Of idle
money, mostly the proceeds Of bond
issue, has been invested by Imperial
county in United States certificates of
Indebtedness, which will net the county
$4,000 a year Or $4,000 a month as long
as the money is left in the certificates.
Owing to a California statute providing
that no bank shall receive public funds
to an amount in excess Of so per cent of
it's capital and surplus, the money had
been lying idle.
Imperial countp's innovation will no
doubt, be adopted by many other coun-
ties and school districts throughout the
twelfth federal reserve district which
have county and district funds lying
idle because small banks in outlying
counties are unable to receive for de-
posit proceeds from bond issues. Even
many Of the biggest banks are compell-
ed to refuse public deposits because
they have already reached the limit pro-
vided by law.
Treasury certificates of indebtedness,
the last issue being for four and one
half per cent interest and running for
six months, December Is to June Is,
are, as a rule. short time paper, making
them particularly adaptable for the in
Lxestment of county funds awaiting ex-
penditure.
Robert E. Smith, director Of the war
loan organization Of the twelfth federal
reserve district, in letter to County
Treasurer Barton Of Imperial county,
said;
you are to be congratulated as q
county official and personally on the
businesslike manner in which you have
employed the idle funds Of Imperial
county, which will not only net the
county a handsome return, otherwise
lost, but at the same time aid the gov
ernment in financing its war debt. Other
counties. not only in California, but in
every state Of the twelfth federal re-
serve district, might as well follow your
example"
