Black Dog next to the door, and
sitting sideways, so as to have one
eye on his old shipmate and one, ]
thought, on his retreat.
He babe me go and leave the door
wide open.
None of your key-holes for me,
sonny" he said, and left them to-
gether and retired into the bar.
For a long time, though I certain
ly did my best to listen, could hear
nothing but a low Cabling; but at
last the voices began to grow higher,
and l could pick up a word or two,
mostly oaths, from the captain.
"No, no, no, no, and an end of it,"
he cried once. And again, "If it
comes to swinging, swing all, says
l."
Then all of a sudden there was a
tremendous explosion of oaths and
other noises; the chair and table
went over in lump, a clash of steel
followed, and then a cry OF pain, and
the next instant I saw Black Dog in
full flight, and the captain holly
pursuing, both with drawn cutlasses,
and the former streaming blood from
the left shoulder Just at the door
the captain aimed at the fugitive one
last tremendous cut, which would
certainly have split him to the chine
had it not been intercepted by our
big signboard OF Admiral Benbow.
You may see the notch on the lower
side of the frame to this day.
That blow was the last of the bat
tie. Once out upon the road, Black
Dog, in spite of his wound. showed
a wonderful clean pair of heels, and
disappeared over the elge of the hill
in half a minute. The captain, for
his part, stood staring at the sign
board like a bewildered man. Then |
he passed his hand over his eyes sew
eral times, and at last turned back |
into the house.
"Jim,' says he, rum; and as he
spoke he reeled a little, and caught
with one hand against the
wall.
Are you hurt?" cried l.
Rum" he repeated II must get
lway from here. Rum! ruml"

CHAPTER II
Black Dog Appears and Disappears

1t was not very long after this that
there occurred the first of the myster-
ious events that rid us at last OF
the captain, though not, as you will
see, of his affairs. It was a bitter
cold winter, with long, hard frosts
and heavy gales; and it was plain
from the first that my poor father
was little likely to see the spring. He
sunk daily, and my mother and had
all the inn upon our hands, and were
kept busy enough without paying
much regard to our unpleasant guest.
It was one January morning, very
early-a pinching, frosty morning
the cove all gray with hoar-frost, the
ripple tapping softly on the stones,
the sun still low, and only touching
the hill tops and shining far to sea-
ward. The captain had risen earlier
than usua Q and set out down the
beach, hi eutlass swinging under
the broad p,a!.rts of the old blue coat,
his brass 4leseope under his arm,
his hat tilted upon his head. I re-
member his breath hanging like
smoke in his wake as he strobe off,
and the last sound I heard of him,
as he turned the big rock, was loud
snort of indignation, as though his
mind was still running upon Doctor
Well, mother was upstairs with
father, and was laying the break
fast table against the captains re-
turn, when the parlor door opened
and a man stepped in on whom
had never set my eyes before. He
was a pale, tallowy creature, want

Fertilizer Is Not
Dependent on Ford
Many Companies Oper-
ate in South But the
Profits Are Nil. =.

Neutrality-suspicious. might suppose
while reading the serial story of Hen
~ Ford and Muscle Shoals that the
country was without institutions to
manufacture fertilizers. But state
ment issued this month by the Bureau
of the Census covers the operations of
1913 fertilizer manufacturing establish
ments in the United States. Most OF
these. or ~. are in the Southern
states, the region in which Mr.. Ford
is supposed to play Santa Claus as
producer OF fertilizer The worst OF
il is that all the fertilizer manufacture
ers are among the hardest bumped OF
all American industries. The larger
companies have not paid dividends for
two or three years and their capital
stocks have constantly deprecated in
value.
1t is said that the farmers of the
country have not used fertilizers be-
cause they could not pay for them.
However. they have been impoverish-
ing their lands. and as a result fertiliz-
ers are becoming a necessity instead
Of an accessory TO the successful cul-
iivation of crops. The census returns

turing industry as coming back"
