CHAPTER XIII
NJ. DE RIVAROL

Captain Blood was in a disgrun-
tied mood when he sailed from Tor
tuga, and still in that mood when
he came to his moorings in the bay
Of Petit Goave. In that same mood
Re greeted NJ. lie Baron de Rivarol
when this nobleman with his feet
Of five men-of-war at last dropped
anchor alongside the buccaneer
ships.
Summoned to wait on him, Cap
tain Blood repaired to the Castle Of
Petite Goave, where the interview
was to take place. The baron, a
tall, hawkfaced man of forty, very
cold and distant Of manner, meas

de Cussy offered Captain Blood
chair.
"A moment, NJ. de Cussy. I do
not think NJ. lie Baron has observed
that l am not alone. Let me pre-
sent to you, sir, my companions:
Captain Hagthorpe of the Eliza
beth, Captain Wolverstone of the
Atropos and Captain Yberville of
the Lachesis."
The baron stared hard and
haughtily at Captain Blood. His
manner implied plainly that he de-
spised them. and that he desired
them at once to understand it. 1t
had curious effect upon Captain
Blood 1t awoke the devil in him,
and it awoke, at the same time, his
self-respect, which Of late had been
slumbering. A sudden shame of
his disordered, illkempt appear
ance made him perhaps the more
defiant. He waved his captains to
the chairs that stood about.
Draw up to the table, lads. We
are keeping the baron waiting"
They obeyed him, Wolverstone
with a grin THAI was full OF under
standing laughter grew the
stare Of M. de Rivarol. He did the
only thing remaining to mark a dis
tinction between himself and them
He put on his hat. .

Blood amiably. 81 feel the draught

vision Of Clemson college.
The fall calf Is also cheaper to raise
because It is fed milk. grain, and hay
during the winter months and oy
spring is old enough TO get consld-
erahie amount OF It's feed requirements
from pastures; while upring-born
calves must be fed milk and gram dur
gng summer, then grain. hay and silaRe

spring-horn calf cost considerably more
at one year OF age than calf born In
the fall. Furthermore, the farmer has
more time to devote to the care OF the
eaives In fall and winter than In the
spring and summer season, when crops
require most OF his attentlon. This |
same thing applies to mature cows In
that they are giving their greatest dow
