 Tortuga
 It was no part Of the design of Blood to join hands with the buc- cancers who, under semi- official French protection. made of Tortuga a lair whence they could sally ont to drive their merciless piratical trade chiefly at the expense of Spain.
 It was Blood's original intention to make his way to France or Holland. But In the long. weeks of waiting for ship to convey him to one or the other of these countries, his re- sources dwindled and finally vanished.
 Temptations proceeded not only from adventurous buccaneering ac- quaintances in the taverns of that evil haven of Tortuga. but even from M. d'Ogeron, the governor of the island. who levied as his harbor dues a percentage of one-tenth of all spells brought into the bay.
 Moreover, to a man, those who had escaped with Peter Blood from the Barbados plantations, and who knew not whither to turn. were all resolved | upon joining the great Brotherhood ! ,f the Coast, as those rovers called l themselves.

Many delicate people cannot take
the ordinary Laxative at all and

Picture in your mind a tiny little
tablet hardly larger than a pinhead
containing a fractional dose. No
woman or Invalid, no matter how
delicate, need hesitate taking one
