WILL RECORD DISCHARGES. Records of Pdg Spunty Men
 to Be PresetnoN

Circuit Clerk w. L. rafker has re- ceived the official record for recording discharge papers of Polk county men who were called to service in the great war. The record book was made nec- essary because of an act by the last legislature which made provision for the preservation of the military serv- ices of Arkansas fighters. The book contains blanks for recording the dis charge certificates of both privates and officers in both army and naval service. A fee of 25 cents, fixed by legislative act, is charged for the re- cording. A number of returned fight CTS have already inquired about the recording.

CHAPTER XII.
1 Accept a Proposal.

I went on deck with the watch. ana mingled with them forward. A Portu- guese boatswain set me at polishing the gun mounted on the forecastle. I was busily at work on this bit of ord nance, when Estada came on deck for a moment. The fellow chanced to ob- serve me.
 You must be pretty tough bird. Gates" he said roughly, "or I would have killed you last night-I had the mind to-"
 Something about his voice and man. ner led me to feel that, in spite of his .roughness, he was not in bad humor.
 'That would have been a mistake. sir" I answered, strengthening up, rag in hand, flor 1t would have cost you a good seaUan. Three years ago was skipper on my own vessel. The Bom- bay Castle, London to Hongkong; 1 wrecked her off Cape Mendez in a fog. was drunk below, and it cost me my ticket"

 "And speak Spanish7"
 "A little bit, sir, as you see; learn languages easily"
 He stared strnight into my face, but without uttering another word, turned on his heel and went below. had fin- ished my labor on the carrcnade. and was fastening down securely the tar paulin, when a thin. stoop-shouldered fellow, with hang-dog face crept up the ladder to the poop, and shuffied over to LeVere.
 "Mister Levere, sir"
 "Well, what is 1t, Gunsaulesf
 "Senor Estada, sir; he wishes to see a sailor named Gates in the cabin"
 "Who? Gates? Oh, yes, the new man. He swept his eyes about, until he saw me. Follow the steward be low Senor Estada wishes to see you go just as you are"
 "Very good, sir"
 The fellow led me away. There was no one in the main cabin. I fol- lowed the beckoning steward who rapped with his knuckles on one of the side doors. Estada's voice an- swered.
 I stepped inside, doubtful enough of what all this might mean, yet quite prepared to accept of any chance 1t might offer. Estada sat up- right in the chair gazing straight at me. his own face clearly revealed in the light from the open port. His face was swarthy, long and thin, with hard, set lips under long, intensely black mustache, his cheeks strangely crisscrossed by lines. The nose was large, distlnctively Roman. yielding him a hawklike appearance. but 1t was his eyes which fascinated me. They were dark and deeply set, abso- lute wells of cruelty. l had never before seen such eyes in the face of human being; they were beastly. dew ilish; I could feel my blood chill as l looked Into their depths, yet l held myself erect and waited for the man

 l will soon learn if you have lied, and that win be sorry day for you. I'll tell you, Gates. how matters stand aboard, and why have need of your skill. Then you may take your choice the forecastle or the cabin?"
 You invite me aft, senor?"
 l give you chance to move your dunnage if you will dc my work. Listen now. Sanchez has been badly hurt. It may be weeks before he leaves his cabin, if, indeed, he ever does. That leaves me in command with but one officer, the mulatto, Le- We're. This might answer to take us safely to Porto Grande, as we could stand watch and watch, but Francois IS no sailor. 1t was his part on board to train and lead the fighting men he cannot navigate.

 "With rating as first officer and your fair proportion of all spoils."
 You mean then to continue the course? To attack vessels on the high seas?"
 Why not?" sneeringly. Are you too white-livered for that sort of job2 If so, then you are no man for me. It is a long voyage to Porto Grande, and no reason why we should hurry home; the welcome there will be better If we bring chests of gold aboard. Ay, and the thought will put hope into the hearts of the crew; they are restless now from long waiting"
 'But Captain Sanchezf You have no surgeon, am told. Win he not suffer from neglect of his woundf"
 "Sufferf No more than under a leech ashore. All that can be done has been. His was a clean knife thrust, which has been washed, treat ed with lotion and bound up. No leech could do more."

 You will have your choice of those at port. Come now-have you an an- swer ready?7
 'I would be a fool not to have" heartily. T am your man, Estada.'
