BLOOD
BIZ RAFAEL SABATINI
The Greatest Love Story Ever Told

not having observed certain things
before. or, at least, for not having
studied them more closely, and he
was busily connecting them with
more recent observations made that
very day.
He had observed. for instance, that
Blood's ship was named the Arabella,
and he knew that Arabella was Miss
Bishops name. And he had observed
all the odd particulars OF the meet
ing of Capt. Blood and Miss Bishop,
and the curious change that meeting
had wrought In each.
The lady had been monstrously un-
civil to the captain. 1t was g. very
foolish attitude for a lady In her
circumstances to adopt towards a
man in Blood's. and his lordship could
not imagine Miss Bishop as normally
foolish. Yet, in spite Of her rudeness.
in spite Of the fact that she was
the niece of a man whom Blood must
regard as his enemy, Miss Bishop and
his lordship had been shown the ut
most consideration aboard the cap
tain's ship. A cabin had been placed
at the disposal Of each, to which
their scanty remaining belongings
and Miss Bishops woman had been
duly transferred.
They were given the fire. eedom of the
great cabin. and they had sat down
TO table with Pitt, the master. and
WolVerstone, who was Blood's lieu-
tenant. both OF whom had shown
them the utmost courtesy. Also there
was the fact that Blood. himself, had
kept almost studiously from intrud-
ing upon them.
His lordships mind went swiftly
but carefully down these avenues of
thought, observing and connecting.
Having exhausted them, he decided
to seek additional Information from
Miss Bishop. For this he must wait
until Pitt and Wolverstone should
have withdrawn. He was hardly
made to wait 50 Ions. for as Pitt
rose from table TO follow wolver-
Bishop detained him with a question
"Mr. Pitt" she asked, "were you
not one Of those who escaped from
Barbados with Capt. Blood?"

uncle's slaves"
And you have been with Capt.
BLOOD ever SINGER
His shipmaster always. ma'am.-
She nodded. She wac very calm
and self contained: but his lordsfaip
observed that she was unusually
pale. though considering what she
had that day undergone this afforded
no matter for wonder.
Did you ever sail with a French
man named Cahusac?"
"Cahusac?" Pitt laughed. The
name evoked ridiculous memory.
AYE. He was with US At Mara
caybo.s'
And another Frenchman named
LevasseurT'
His iordship maryeled at her mem
ory OF these names.
AYE. Cahusac was Levasseur's
lieutenant, until he died"
Until who died?"
Levasseur. He was killed on one
OF the Virgin Islands two years ago"
There was a pause. Then. In an
even quieter voice than before, Miss
Bishop asked:
who killed hirn?'
Pitt answered readily. There was

That Is how you will reason. Not
so, however, reasoned Capt. Blood.
Indeed. that night he reasoned not at
all. His soul was given up to con-
fict between the almost sacred love
he had borne her in all these years
and the evil passion which she had
now awakened in him. Extremes
touch. and in touching may for a
space become confused, indistinguish-
able. And the extremes of love and
hate were tonight so confused in the
soul of Capt. Blood that in their
fusion they made up a monstr"
passion.
Thief and pirate!
That was what she deemed him
without qualification, ob!ivious of th'
deep wrongs he had suffered. the den
perate case in which he found him.
self after his escape from Barbados,
and all the rest that had gone to
make him what he was. That he
should have conducted his filibuster-
ing with hands as clean as were
possible to a man engaged in such
undertakings had also not occurred
TO her as charitable thought with
which to mitigate her judgment of
man she had once esteemed. She
had no charity for him, no mercy.
She had summed him up. convicte ed
him and sentenced him in that one
phrase. He was thief and pirate in
her eyes; nothing more. nothing less.
What then, was she? What are
those who have no charity? he asked
the stars.
erto, so let her shape him now. Thi ef
and pirate she had branded him. She
should be justified. Thief and pirate
should he prove henceforth; no more
nor less; as boweiless, as remorse-
less. as all those others who had de-
served those names. He would cast
out the maudlin ideals by which he
had sought to steer a course; put
an end TO this idiotic struggle to
make the best OF two worlds. She
had shown him clearly to which
Justify her. She was aboard his ship,
in his power. and he desired her.
He laughed softly, jeeringly, as he
leaned on the tafrail. looking down
at the phosphorescent CLEAN in the
ships wake. and his own laughter
startled him by Its evil note. He
checked suddenly and shivered. A
sob broke from him to end that ribald
burst Of mirth. He took his face In
his hands and found a chill moisture
on his brow.
Meanwhile Lord Julian. who knew
the feminine part OF humanity rather
better than Capt. Blood, was engaged
in solving the curious problem that
had so completely escaped the buc-
cancer. He was spurred to it. 1 sus-
pect, by certain vague STRINGS OF
Jealousy Miss Bishops conduct in
the perils through which they had
come had brought him at last to
perceive that a woman may lack the
simpering graces of cultured femi =
ninity and yet because of that lack
be the more admirable. He wondered
what precisely might have been her
earlier relations with Capt. Blood,
and was conscious OF a certain un-
easiness which urged him now to
probe the matter.
His lordship's pale, dreamy eyes
had, as have said. a habit OF OBJ
serving things. and his wits were
tolerably acute.
He was blaming himself now for

Miss Bishop raised her eyes and
looked at him. She appeared to be very
thoughtful. Then her lip fiickered

to him. Her slender fingers drumrned

picked her up, flung her over his

The Classification Urge

New York Times: Frederick White
in recent article on "Ten Million
Fishermen" in the Worlds Work
opens up new statistical horizons. He
presents us with tabulation of the
estimated male population of fishing
age in the United States, and the es-
timated number of actual fishermen.
1t appears from Mr.. Whites table
that we have in this country near
ly 100000 males potentially cap
able of cutting school or office con-
ferences for the purpose of dangling
hook and sinker in the water or
swishing line through the deeper
pools. Of these potential 100000,
about 20 per cent actually do fish.
But the interesting thing is not the
numbers, but the classification. Hith-
erto. we have had persons of school
age, of wage-earning age, Of voting
age, of collaborating age, and so forth.
Fishing age presents new vistas. How
many people are there in this country
of latch-key age, of lipstick age, of
Harold Bell Wright age, of James
Branch Cabell age, of golfing age, of
comic-strip age and of DR.. Eliot's
bookshelf age? Let the statistician
loose in this virgin forest and there
will be no stopping him. He will dis
cover new categories and proceed to
combine them. He will insist on cal
culating the percentage of pyorrhea
among all persons of fishing age or
the prevalence of the cigarette habit
among all persons of the maple
sundae age. Life is already too COM
pick.

U. Boy Scouts
Win Kings Cup
AMERICAN BOYS VICTORIOUS
SCOUTS OF ALL COUNTRIES
PRESENT.

The American Boy Scouts were
awarded the highest number of points
for their participation in the inter-
national scout jamboree, thus win
ming the prize cup offered by King
Christian. The Americans scored 1871
points, against 172 for the British
scouts, who took second place. The
award is unanimously indorsed by the
newspapers today.
The Politiken remarks that when
the King reviewed the scouts yester-
day, "the Americans for the first time
saluted with their flag, which was not
even lowered at the review by Sin
Robert Baden-Powell."
"The King was apparently disap-
pointed that the Americans cheer
leader, Macbeth, did not jump into the
air and display his wonderful yelling"
continues the Politiken, which adds
that Macbeth himself remarked:
"We Americans after all were
wee bit shy in the presence of real
live king"
The Scouts met in a big jamboree
in Copenhagen and closed their ses-
sions last week end.

Five Thoughts

Soft winds.
Whispering trees,
White moonbeams sitting down,
Odor of Jessamine flowers,
Loves dream!
High skies,
Smith blue mirrors,
White sails lowly drifting,
Soft harmonies in the pines,
Sweet sleep!
Salt air,
laundering waves,
Broken battered timbers,
Sea gulls, flying, crying, spying,
Lost Souls!
Hot sun,
Cacti and sand,
A pile of bleaching bones,
Two buzzards wheeling in the sky,
Dead hopes!
Tall peaks,
Deep, still canyons,
! Green carpets and cool aisles,
Gentle songs of silver water,
Gods Peace!
