quickly, and it must have been nearly
midnight before we brought out blan-

in any spot we chose on deck.

a slight haze in the air, obscuring the

aft.
My startled eyes caught a glimpse
of speck Of white emerging from the
black shadOws-the spectral glimmer
Of a 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 point Of land, which
I vaguely remembered as jutting out
to the northward.

WENT COLONEL ONE BETTER
Occasion When laxative Old Bore
Met More Than His Match at
the Club.

Several and various were the uncOm-
plimentary EXPLANATIONS heard when
9the talkative Col. Cholmondeley Fitz-
Fulke strolled into the Back-to-Nature
club one evening just in time to hear
discussion going on about the crows
in the cornfields and their part In the
winning of the war.
"Hawv laughed the colonel remi-
niscently, speaking Of crows re-
minds me of the time my father made
a scarecrow out Of me, egad!"
"Was 1t your father that did 1t.
colonel?" asked Charlie Smithers,
smilingly, followed by smoker
among the members.
"Er-ah-yes. You see, the crows
in our cornfield became so used to our
regular scarecrow that they grew
quite fond Of him. And they used to
bring him grains Of corn and deposit
them In his pockets and corncob pipe.
It was quite a beautiful and heart
melting sight, gentlemen" and the
colonel flicked sentimental tear from
his eyeglass.
"Well, I conceived the idea Of max
ing a scarecrow that would smite the
crows and chase them away, donche-
know. So father decided to dress me
up in some old tattered rags and have
me smite them. And, bah Jove. /
frightened them so bally bad that they
didn't return for year, and then 1t
was after they had seen me 60
abroad" concluded the colonel. pick
ing up Charlie Smithers' glass and
emptying it's contents.
"Huh. That's nothing" said Char
lie. "My father made scarecrow so
fierce looking that seven Of our
crows that had stolen ten bushels Of
corn came back the next day and put
every one back"
1t was several minutes before the
colonel could control himself suffi-
ciently to walk out amid the roar that
arose.

CHAPTER IV-ContInued.

In the intensity of my feelings
must have unconsciously spoken
aloud for shaggy head suddenly
popped out from the berth beneath
where l lay. and Haley's interested
voice asked solicitously:
"Hy, thar; whut's up, mate? Ye

though to thus better express his
feelings. "The ID ornary pirate"

changed by this remark.

Il had shipmate once,' I observed,
interested in his story, "who claimed
to have seen the fellow; he described
him as being very large man, with
intensely black, hawklike eyes and
heavy black beard almost hiding his
face"

saw him, but he amt no bigger man

THOUGHT HIMSELF A BARGAIN
Los Angeles Youngster Certainly Is
Not .Burdened With Any Undue
Sense Of Modesty.

The high price Of labor was under
discussion at the Rotary club the
other day and Manager Chamberlain
of Hamburger's remarked:
'"There has been so much boosting
and salving of the laboring man dur
ing the war that great many people
are inclined to overrate their impor-
lance. Like the boy we hired the other
day. He seemed to think he was IA

for us, and was flagrantly loafing on
the job when a department head re-
monstrated with him.

board, although everything looked
shipshape allow and aloft, and a rather
extensive wash tapped in the wind
forward, bespeaking generous crew.
A moment later my eyes made out the
name painted across the stern-Na-
muir 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 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

Flint Refuse of Value.

A remarkable record of an impor
tant prehistoric industry is promised
by the archaeological survey now being
directed by DR.. w. T. Mills, in the
Flint Ridge district, between Column
bus and GAINESVILLE, o. An outcrop of
flint-bearing limestone extends for ten
miles or more, and is entirely covered
with pits dug by the ancient miners In
search of workable flints. The waste
fragments Clipped from the flints in
making arrowheads and other imple-
ments form nearby deposits Is feet
deep in places, supplying material of
modern value for road building.

what. then, does he really look
like?"
'Oh, q sOrter swashbucklin' Spanish
don-the kind whit likes ter dress up
an play the dandy. He's got a pink
an white complexion, the Castilian
kind. yer know, an wears little mus
tache, waxed up at the ends. l heard
he wus about forty-five; I reckon he
must be tibet, but he didn't look older
than thirty"
Haley dropped off to sleep, but my
mind continued to wander until it con-
jured up once again this West Indian
pirate. His name and the story of
his exploits had been familiar to me
ever since 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. In those days, when the curse
Of piracy made the sea a terror, no
ordinary man could ever have sue
ceeded In attaining such supremacy
in crime.
Black Sunderland Haley pictured
him as a dandified. ordinary appear
ing individual, with white and red
complexion, a small mustache. and
flashing dark eyes-a mere Spanish
gallant, without special distinction.
Why. that description, strangely
enough, fitted almost exactly this fell
low on board, this other Sanchez.
The suspicion which had crept into
my mind was so absurd, so unspeak-
ably silly and impossible that l
laughed at myself and dismissed the
crazy thought. Chuckling over it /
finally fell asleep.

The fellow waved his hands in a

In spite of my efforts the two YES

cabin and stood there gazing in sur

he caught sight Of her Sanchez went
hastily forward, removing his hat with
SO peculiar flourish as he approached
as to cause me to notice the gesture,
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

Whatever else he may be, he's no

got his accent from south Europe. If

The Namur of Rotterdam.

The brig, with all sails set and ia
vored by strong wind, drew rapidly
in toward the point of landing. The
great majority of the prisoners re-
manned on deck, chained together and
helpless, yet surrounded by armed
guards. while the few who had already
been purchased by passengers hum
bly, followed their new masters ashore
the moment the gangplank touched
the soil of Virginia. There were five

Roger Fairfax. The rude landing
wharf along which we lay was already
densely crowded. Altogether it was
n busting scene, full of change and
color, the air noisy with shouting
voices, the line Of wharves filled with
a number of vessels, either newly ar
rived or preparing to depart. 1t was
with no small difficulty we succeeded
in forcing our way through this JOS
Ting throng until we attained to an
open space ashore. 1 followed closely
behind the three composing our party,
Roger Fairfax and Sanchez, with the
laughing girl between them for pro-
lection. Fairfax was evidently well
known to a number present, for he
was being greeted on all sides with
hearty handshakes and words Of well
come.
We boarded the Fairfax sloop. The
baggage was transferred. worked
with the Fairfax servants and 1t cut
my pride to the quick. Out in the bay

to Fairfax the position Of the bark.
Surely strange place In which to

Bark rugged and very heavily spared.
Seems to be all right. What do you

answered slowly. ''The beggars seem

Well put up with him tonight. On
me, Sanchez. / believe I'll hail the
fellow and find out what he is doing

Sanchez nodded, carelessly striking
flint and steel in an effort to relight
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.
