r.EvAssEuR,s HEROES

It would be somewhere about
ten o'clock on the following morn.
ing, a full hour before the time ap-
pointed for sailing, when a canoe
brought up alongside La Foudre
and half-caste Indian stepped out
of her and went up the ladder. He
was the bearer of a folded scrap of
PAPER for Captain Levasseur. Its
contents may be roughly translat.
ed thus:
''My weIl-beloved: I am in the
Dutch brig Jongvrouw, which is
about to sail. Resolved to separate
us forever, my cruel father is send
Ing me to Europe in my brothers
@arge. implore you, come to my
rescue. Deliver me, my well-be-
loved hero! Your desolated Made
Ion, who loves you"
The well-beloved hero was moved
to the soul of him by that passion
ate appeal. His scowling glance
swept the bay for the Dutch brig,
which he knew had been due TO sail
for Amsterdam with a cargo Of
hides and tobacco. He roared out
the question in his mind.

CHAPTER KIN
TORTUGA


At daybreak Don Esteban and his
followers were put of in a beat.
Two days later, the Cinco Llagas
sailed into the rock-bound bay Of
Cayona, which nature seemed to
have designed for the stronghold
of those who had appropriated it.
It was Blood's original intention
to make his way to France or Hol,
land. But in the long weeks Of
waiting at Tortuga for ship to
convey him to one or the other Of
these countries, his resources
dwlndled, and finally vanished.
Also. there was good deal to OPP
press Peter Blood. There was the
thought of Arabella Bishop. lie was
maddened by the tormenting lure
of the unattalnable. He desired
Arabeiia, yet knew her beyond his
reach irreYocably and for all time.
He was, when all is said, an es-
capped slave, an outlaw in hts own
land and a homeless outcast in any
other. There remained the sea,
switch is free to all, and particu-
larry alluring to those who feel
themselves at war with humanity.
And temptations proceeded not
only from adventurous buccaneer-
ing acquaintance in the taverns Of
that evil haven of Tortuga, but
even from NJ. d'Ogeron, the govern
nor of the island, who levied as his
harbor dues a percentage of one
tenth OF all spoils brought into the
bay, and who profited further by
commissions upon money which he
was desired TO convert into bills of
exchange upon France.
Moreover, to man, those who
had escaped with Peter Blood from
the Barbados plantations, and who.
consequently, like . himself, knew
not wither to turn, were all re-
solved upon joiRing the great
Brotherhood of the Coast, as those
rovers called themselves. And
they united theirs to the other
voices that were persuading Blood.
demanding that he should continue
now in the leadership which he had
enjoyed since they had left Barba-
dos, and swearing to follow him
Loyalty whithersoever he should
lead them.
II he resisted so long, It was the
thought of Arabella Bishop that re-
strained him. And so, although he
might entertain no delusiye hope
Of ever winning her for his own, of.
over seeing her again, yet the mem
CRY of her was to abide in his soul
as bitter-sweet, purifying inhu-
ence.
The resolve being taken he went
actively to work. Ogeron, most ac-
commodating Of governors, ad-
Nanced him money for the proper
equipment Of his ship the Cinco
Ilagas, which he renamed the Ara
bella, To the score of followers he
already possessed he added three
score more, picking his men with
-caution and discrimination (and he
was an exceptional judge Of men)

from amongst the Adventures Of
Tortus,-. With them all he entered
into the articles usual among the
Brethren Of the Coast, under which
each man was to be paid by share
in the prizes captured.
Towards the end OF December,
when the hurricane season had
blown itself out, he put to sea in
his wellfound, well-manned ship,
and before he returned in the fol.
lowing May from a protracted and
adventurous cruise the fame Of
Captain Peter Blood had run like
ripples before the breeze across
the face Of the Caribbean Sea.
One day, as he sat with Hag.
thorpe and Wolverstone over
pipe and a bottle of rum in the
sitting reek of tar and stale tobac-
co of a waterside tavern, he was
accosted by splendid ruffian in
goldlaced coat Of dark blue satin,
with a crimson sash, a foot wide,
about the waist.
"Cest vous qu'on appeIle lie
Sang?" the fellow hailed him.
My name" he said, sis Peter
Blood. The Spaniards know ME by
Don Pedro Sangre, and a French
man may call me lie Sang if he
pleases."

least were cycling him askance, at

the Spaniard with an intensity ex.
ceeding that of the English. Lee

Tortuga from an indiferently sue
cessful cruise. A roaring, quarrel
some, handwriting, hard-gaming
scoundrel, his reputation as a buc,
cancer stood high among the Wild
Brethren of the Coast.
1t was current gossip that even
Mademoiselle d'Ogeron, the COVER
nor's daughter, had been caught in
the snare of his wild attractiveness,
and that Levasseur had gone the
length Of audacity Of asking her
hand in marriage of her father NJ.
d'ogeron had shown him the door.
This was the man who now
thrust himself upon Captain Blood
with a proposal of association, Of
ferlng him not only his sword, but
his ship and the men who sailed in
her.
Because he disliked the man,
Captain Blood would not commit
himself at once. But, because he
liked the proposal, he consented to
consider it. Being afterwards
pressed by both Hagthorpe and
Wolverstone, who did not share his
own personal dislike of the French
man, SHE end of the matter was
that within a week articles were
drawn up between Levasseur and
Blood, and signed by them, and, as
was usual, by the chosen represent
atiyes Of their followers, These
articles contained the common pro

Interested in preventing the en-
croachment of business into reSiden-

notations OF bills now pending before
