fighting that. Before we've run an other half-mile we shall be within range.
 Wolverstone swore elaborately, then suddenly checked. Out of the tail of his single eye he had espied trim fig ure in gray silk that was ascending the companion. So engrpssed had they been that they had not seen Miss Bish- op come from the door of the passage leading to the cabin. And there was something else that those three men on the poop, and Pitt immediately below them, had failed to obsreve. Some mo- ments ago Ogle, followed by the main body of his gun-deck crew, had emerged from the bobby hatch, to fall into nut tered, angrily vehement talk with those who, abandoning the guntackles upon which they were laboring, had came to crowd about him.
 Even now Blood had no eyes for that. He turned to look at Miss Bish- op, marvelling a little, after the man. ner in which yesterday she had avoided him, that she should now venture upon the quarterback. Her presence at this moment, and considering the nature of his altercation with Wolverstone, was embarrassing. Captain Blood barred DlS nedu anu DOWeu Sllcntly III great ing which she returned composedly and formally.
 What is happening, Lord Julian?" she enquired.
 : As if to answer her third gun spoke from the ships.
 'They are ships of the Jamaica fleet" his lordship answered her.
 Before more could be added, their attention was drawn at last to Ogle, who came bounding up the broad lad der, and to the men lounging aft in his wake. Blood, confronted him.
 Whats this?" the Captain demand ed sharply. Your station is on the gun deck. Why have you left it?"
 "Captain,' Ogle sail, as he spoke he pointed to the pursuing ships, Colonel Bishop holds us. We're in no case either to run or fight
 "Ogle," said he, in a voice cold and sharp as steel, your station is on the gun deck. You'll return to it at once, and take your crew with you, or else"
 Threats will not serve, Captain"
 Captain Blood's hands closed over the butt of one of the pistols slung be- fore him. %,

CHAPTER XVIII
The Saryice Of King Jame


 Miss Arabella Bishop was aroused very early on the following morning by the brazen voice of a bugle and the insisting changing of bell in the ships belfry. In his cabin Lord Julian was already astir and hurredly dressing. About him in the waist, where all last night had been so peaceful, there was a frenziedly active hustle of some three score men. By the rail, immediately above and behind Lord Julian, stood Captain Blood in altercation with a one-eyed giant, whose head was swathed in red cotton kerehief, whose blue shirt hung open at the waist. As his lOrdship, moving forward, revealed himself, their voices ceased, and Blood turned to greet him.
 Good morning to you," he said, and added: I've blundered badly, so have. should have known better than to come so close to Jamaica by night. But I was in haste to land you. Come up here. I have some thing to show you"
 Wondering, Lord Julian mounted the companion as he was bidden. Standing beside Captain Blood, he looked astern, following the indication of the Captains hand, and cried in amazement. There, not more than three miles away, was land-an uneven wall of vivid green that filled the western horizon. And a couple of miles this

Again you misapprehend me-" cried Lord Julian, between concern and in- dignation. '"That is not intended. Your followers will be included in your commission"
 And dye think they'll go with me to hunt their brethern-the Brethern of the Coast? Dye think could take a commission of King James? I tell you I wouldn't be soiling my hands, though they be. Thief and pirate is what you heard Miss Bishop call me today-a thing of scorn, an outcast. And who made me that? Who made me thief and pirate? Dye dream, man, what it is to be a slave? But there {! I grow hot for nothing at all. I ex- plain myself, I think, and God knows, it is not my custom, I am grateful to you, Lord Julian, for your kindly in- tentions. 2 I am so. But yell under stand, perhaps. Ye look as If yc might.""f
 Lord Julian stock for moment, watching the tall figure asA it moved away towards the taffrail. Then let ting his arms fall helplessly to his side in dejection, he departed.

 Wolverstone looked down sardonical ly upon Lord Julian. "So that you're like to be in yet another sea-sight afort ye've done wi ships, my lord"
 That's a point we were just ar. guing," said Blood. For hold that we're in no case to fight against such odds."
 "The odds be damned w Wolverstone thrust out his heavy jowl. Were used to odds. The odds was heavier at Maracaybo; yet we won out, and took three ships. They was heavier yester- day when we engaged Don Miguel"
 "Aye-but those were Spaniards."
 "And what better are these Are ye afeard of lubberly Barbados plant CT? What ails you, Peter? I've never known ye scared afore."
 A gun boomed out behind them.
 ''Thatn be the signal to lie to-" said Blood, in the same hstless voice. and he fetched sigh.
 Wolyerstone squared himself before
 '.I'li see Colonel Bishop in hell or ever I lies to for him."
 "Oh, but--by your leave," his lord ship intervened, surely there is noth- ing to be apprehended from Colonel Bishop. Considering the service you have rendered to his niece and to me I assure you that my word counts for something in England"
 "Oh aye-in England. But this ain t England, damme," Wolverstone laughed.
 Came the roar of a second gun, and a round shot splashed the water less than half cables length astern. Blood leaned over the rail to speak to the

 "There is no question: said Blood, "of surrender for any man aboard save only myself. If Bishop can report to England that I am taken and hanged, he will magnify himself and at the same time gratify his personal rancour against me. I'll send him message, offering to surrender aboard his ship, taking Miss Bishop and Lord Julian with me, but only on condition that the Arabella is allowed to proceed un- harmed. It's bargain that he'll ac- cept, if I know him at all.

 Now that I have helped you get the house back" the fat sailor told Mir. Sanky, "give me the sixteen cream puffs, you promised me and I will go on!"
 "Just a moment" !" Mir. Sanky said, I will run out to the cream puff bushes and see how many cream puffs are there"
 When he returned, MT. Sanky had t-o cream puffs, the very smallest he could find, and they were not quite ripe.
 There were only about ninety mine cream puffs on the bushes!" Mir. Sanky told the sailor as he gave him the two small ones he had picked, And, as Mrs. Sanky and I are very fond of cream puffs, these are all we can spare you!"

HANNAH DUsTON

Duston Island in the Merrimac river, just above Concord, N. H., received its name from Hannah Duston who, with her sweek-old infant, was carried off by the Indians in 1879. The savages stopped on the island for a few nights rest. While they were asleep Hannah Duston arose, took the hatchet of one of them and killed the ten Indians, sevefing each head with a single blow. She sealped them all, and with these trophies returned to Haverhill, Mass, her home, where she was received with great rejoicing.

We Women
Are We Civilizeds

Are We Civilized? 1.-TWO women, one married, one sin

 bare fists one night. The only spectator was a third woman who acted as referee. The two contestants agreed to fight flair" The married woman was getting the best of the contest when, suddenly, the single woman whipped out a dirk and stabbed her opponent
 They fought over man--the hus- band of the, married woman combatant who had deserted his wife for the single woman.
 This is not a story of the Stone Age. It happened in 1924, only few days ago. Nor did this prehistoric battle take place in Central Africa-the scene was laid in these United States.

 We are, think, making progress and becoming more civilized. The grue- some battle between the two women
 
 extreme because we are gentle and ab- hor brutality. Most of us are too in telligent to battle over a worthless man we dislike being considered silly.
 In the legendary days of the Am Azonians, women were supposed to be the rulers, the fighters, the eonquerors. It is alleged that the men xof those days were, worth fighting over and so we women fought for them. The stories of the Amazonians may or may not have been myths, but in these very modern times when history does not have a chance to distort or misrepresent facts we women, have even shrunk from free indulgence in sports which require TO- bust and aggressive action. That field has been left to the Jack Dempseys, Luis Firpo, Battling Sikis, etc. The professional woman fighter doesn't exist. We may have, been the innocent cause of fight but we have left it to men to engage in fistio warfare.
 But the shoe in this particular in- stance is on the other foot. Of course, a mans shoe on a woman's foot never does look we'll. There islsomething very odious about the shoes which the wom- en wore in this case. They seem to me to have been the shoes of inferiority.

Selecting Clothes

One Mother Says:
 I am always careful to let my girls help in the planning and selection of their clothes, even when they are very young. Often young people are terribly afflicted by being obliged to wear something they do not themselves like, or something not. approved by their playmates. The older taste should be better, of course, but it ought never to be arbitrarily imposed on the child.

CIVIC LOYALTY

Few of us ever pause to consider
how our town came into being.
We take it's existence for granted
and have been willing to let the
other fellow assume all the repson-
sibilities of management. But our
town did not just happen. A def
mite force called it into being at
the very point at which it grew,
and that same force continues to
exist. The life of a town depends
partially upon economic conditions
and partly upon the character, en-
ergy and enterprise of it's citizens.
The progressive community cen
ter must be a social structure for
the promotion of friendliness,
which, after all, is the most i'm
portant thing in the world. The
community center does not exist
to improve people, though it UNI
doubtedly does this. 1t does not
exist to make them healthy,
though it may accomplish this al
so. 1t exists that life may flower
more fully-the social life of the
whole community.
Business exists to furnish a liv-
ing; social life exists to develop
friendships. Therefore that COM
munity that brings people togeth-
er in such way that social life,
friendship, comradeship, brotherly
and neighborly love is most fully
developed, is the most successful
and most prosperous community.
Manufacturers undoubtedly con-
tribute largely to the growth, de-
velopment and wealth of a COM
munity, but today manufacturers
are giving more attention to the
social life and home advantages of
a prospective location than they
give to any single phase of the
question.
Civic spirit implies loyalty to
the community in which we make
our homes and of whose good
name we are justly jealous. Civic
loyalty is but a part of that larg-
er loyalty to country for which
lives are willingly offered in time
of need.
For town all things are pos
sible. The single need is some

OBSERVE MOTHERS DAY
Whole Nation United in Fit
ting Reverence to the Days
of Days Last Sunday.

The observance of Mother S
Day." carried out all over the
country last Sunday was made in
to unit by every cult and society
throughout the land. Flags dis
played on public buildings, flowers
in abundance and appropriate
church and public services, simply
brought out the fact that as a
nation and as a home we all love
our mothers.
No better tribute than that ex-
pressed by the writer in the Hurley
Miner which appeared in their last
issue, can be given. The writer
carries the proper sentiment:
In all the history of the world
mothers have been held in high re-
pute. Poets have sung and great
men have honored their mothers
always, but the last word has not
been said, and never will be ex-
pressed, for this ancient and hon
orable ideal.
Few finer pictures are presented
in the Book of Books than those
which portray the mother spirit
It's love and solicitude shine like
halo above the basket hidden in
the rushes on the banks of the
Nile. It's prayerful guidance in
stills in the boy Samuel such 9
consciousness of the presence OF
God, that the quiet hours of the
night are filled with His Voice. Its
deep faith in the power Oh
God reaches out to the prophet
Elisha and restores life to a sor
departed. And in the fine etching
of the Epistles, the mother Oh
Timothy is revealed laying the
foundation for a life of power by
a careful training in the Scrip.
lures.
Often we underestimate what
mothers do because it is done sc
quietly. Yet it must be that He
who writes the Book of Life
makes many entries of mothers
work for the betterment of the
world. Her all-conquering love
for children, her implicit faith II
God, her patience that is confident
of the results-these are qualities
which we recall with grateful APP
probation.
To idealize the motherhood Of
America by Mothers Day" and tx
recognize the fact that the most
sweetly magnificent thing in life
is noble Christian mother is the
most beautiful spiritual idea II
the world today No thought coulc
be more beautiful than that which
prompts every man, woman anC
child to pay tribute to those deal
ones to whom we owe so much
Down through the ages some
things survive,
Some things forever are kept alive
In the heart and the soul and the
mind and will,
The mother love is living still.
The mother love throughout the
land,
Has helped men to live and to un
derstand,
What it means to live and to sec
in life,
The things worth while in this
world of strife.
And the great needs accomplished
by women and men,
Oft a mothers love has inspired
them.
And the good they have done will
live again,
In the children who come after
them.
And we, the children, bow oul
head,
AS we think of our mother living
or dead,
And prayer is sent to God above
To reserve the great power of mo-
Their love.
