 q hope they will get through all right" said he, "and hope they will get back in the spring. It is bad enough to be hunted by men at one time of the year as no one knows bet ter than I do, but to be hunted in the spring as well as in the fall is more than, twice as bad. Men are strange creatures. do not under stand them at all. None of the peo- pie of the Green Forest would think of doing such terrible things. I sup pose it is quite all right to hunt others in order to get enough to eat, though I am thankful to say that have never had to do that, but to hunt others just for the fun of hunting is something I cannot understand at all. And yet that is what men seem to do it for. I guess the trouble is they never have been hunted themselves and don't know how 1t feels. Some times I think I'll hunt one some day just to teach him a lesson. What are you laughing at, Peter?"
 At the idea of your hunting a man," replied Peter. "Yonr heart is right, Lightfoot, but you are too timid and gentle to frighten any one. Big as you are, 1. wouldn't fear you"
 With single swift bound Light foot sprang out in front of Peter. He stamped his sharp hoofs, lowered his handsome head until the sharp points of his horns pointed straight at Peter, lifted the hair along the back of his neck, and made a motion as of to plunge at Peter. His eyes, which Peter, seemed to flash fire.
 "Ohp cried Peter in faint fright ened sounding voice, and leaped to one side before it entered his foolish little head that Lightfoot was just pretending.
 Lightfoot chuckled. "Did you say I couldn't frighten any one?" he de- manded.
 "I--I didn't know you could look so terribly fierce." stammered Peter. Those horns look really dangerous when you point them that way. Why why, what is that hanging to them? It looks like bits of old fur. Have you been tearing somebody's coat,

CHAPTER Xy-Continued

That affair of Mademoiselle d'Ogeron bore as its natural fruit an improve ment in the already cordial relations be- tween Captain Blood and the governor of Tortuga. It is not difficult then fo1 Captain Blood to recruit able crews and he might have increased the mum. Der of his ships as well, but he decided to hold to the three vessels whiche were his-the Arabella, the La Foudre and the Santiago, which he had rechristened the Elizabeth.
 It was with this fleet that he carried out the enterprise against Maracaybo an enterprise in which Peter Blood's daring was only surpassed by stupidity which almost turned the tide against him and delivered him and his men over to the tender mercies of his implicable enemy, Don Miguel de Espinosa of Valdez, the admiral of Spain Captain Blood had landed at Maracybo and had found the empty. Too soon he learned of the trap. Espinosa had put into the narrow neck of the bay with his ships and had bottled the buccaneer in the bay. A sloop, captured by Captain Blood, was loaded with combustibles and powder and was sailed directly at the Spaniard until the grapnels held the two like vice. Then it was set aflame. The admiral's flagship burst into blaze, and fine seamanship and hard fighting with his three ships made Captain Blood master of Maracaybo Bay. But when the Spaniards turned tail for shore and he gave chase, the fort which guarded the bay and which had seemed deserted poured down a raking fire upon him and drove him in modification and despair to take refuge in the town. The Spaniards secured themselves in the fort.
 With a devils luck and clear headed thinking Captain Blood feinted with preparations for a land attack after he had managed to acquire a large ransom in gold from the governor of Maracaybo and, opening broadside, put the fort in flames. Captain Blood sailed for tor tuga. Don Miguel was left to chew the bitter cud of lost opportunity.

It placed him in the rare position of being able to pick and choose the crews for his augmented fleet, and he chose fastidf. ously. When next he sailed away it was with fleet of five fine ships in which went something over a thousand men. Thus you behold him not merely famous, but really formidable.

Hearts Of T,oo
CHAPTER 23a

| A MONTH after James Horton's "A death his house was on the mar
 ket. A week later George Dix. Ion announced to Marian and Lois that it had been sold.
 ' ''To whom?" both girls demanded in "a breath.
 Dixon was calling at the highly re- spectable boarding house which the minister had chosen for his bethrothed. Here Lois had bedroom and sitting room. Marian had taken a smaller room near her-with the understand ssing that she was to give it up as soon as she could arrange to go back to New York. Her sister offered no ob- tjection to this arrangement. \ "I can come down and stay with ,syou while I get my wedding clothes, can't r." she had suggested. And when Marian admitted that she could, Lois was satisfied.
 ,. Now, in Lois sitting room, Dixon made his momentous announcement aof the sale of the old home. Tt brought the price we set on it." he evaded, as the sisters asked the name of the purchaser. ''Thank goodness v Lois ex- claimed.
 But who bought it?" Marian in sisted.
 II did !" George announced. Then, as he heard the gasp of astonishment caused by his declaration, he hurried on to explain;
 You see, I have lived in lodgings ever since father died. Now, as l am to be married in the spring, l must have a home. l have always liked your house."
 Married !' Lois echoed, fin the spring! Oh, Marian, why didn't you tell me? It was not fair"
 "I did not know it myself!' Marian interrupted her. Nor have l met the girl" u
 Lois Horton's jaw dropped. Il thought thought" she stammered. "that you, Marian-and Mir. Dixon
 She flushed hotly at Georges laugh.
 II see nothing to laugh at! she said, haughtily. Marian has cer- tainly behaved as if she cared for you. But that is what I always say about her. She can be free and easy with man she cares nothing for"
 But she does care for me, Dixon smiled, ignoring the indignation of tone and manner. 'She is my very best friend. She has known of my love affair for some time. And when my Helen and I have a home she is to be welcome in it always. And so will you be, for that matter, Miss Lois"
 Thank you." the girl rejoined with dignity.

Peter Rabbit Meets Lishtfoot

DETER RABBIT was on his way
 back from the ponJ of Paddy
 the Beaver deep in the Green Forest. He had just seen Mir. and Mrs. Quack start on their long, ter. rible journey to the far away South land. Farewells are always rather sad, and this particular farewell had left Peter with lump in his throat, 2 queer choky feeling.
 eff I were sure that they would return next spring it wouldn't be SC bad" he muttered. Cts those ter rible guns. I know what it is to have to watch out for them. Farmer Browns Boy used to hunt me with one of them, but he doesn't any more and he won't let anybody else near the Old Brier Patch with one or over here in the Green Forest. But even when he did hunt me it wasn't any. thing like what the Quacks have to go through. If I kept my eyes open could tell when hunter was com. ing and could hide in hole if wanted I never had to worry about my meals. But with the Quacks it is thousand times worse. They've got to eat while making that long Journey, and they can eat only where there is the right kind of food. Hunt CTS with terrible guns know where those places are and hide there until the ducks have no way of knowing whether the hunters are there or not. That isn't hunting. It's---it's-"

 II suppose it must be so if you say so," replied Lightfoot, but SUD- pose you tell me what all this awful ness is about"
 Peter grinned. Then he began at the beginning and told Lightfoot all about Mir. and Mrs. Quack and the awful dangers they must face on their long journey to the far away South land and back again in the spring, all because of the heartless hunters with terrible guns. Lightfoot listened and

HEAVY PENAL TIES
FOR B00TLEGGERS
Attorney General Says
Stricter Enforcement of
Law Brings Results.

Washington. Attorney General
Daugherty reported to President Cool"
idge that a stricter enforcement OF
prohibition already has inspired
more wholesome respect for law and
order"
The attorney general sent to the
President a resume o1 conditions after
four years operation of the dry laws.
From facts which had come to the de-
partment, he said, it was apparent that
his Office was getting larger cases, that
it was trying them more promptly, and
that it was securing much heavier
penalties,
Nearly $1e,ooo,ooo Fines.
Expressing amazement at the vol
ume of business which the federal
courts have been able to handle, the
attorney general explained that more
than 115, 700 cases had been concluded
of which 92,411, or about so per cent,
resulted in convictions and fines aggre-
eating $15,726,593. During the last
fiscal year, he said, the federal courts
have disposed of prohibition cases at
the average rate Of 119 daily.
The attorney general expressed re-
greet that there had been SO many dis
missed cases, most of which, he said,
were dropped for want of evidence.

tinued, began in June, 1923. The
courts were closed during July and
August, but the United States attor-
ney there b., October 1 had secured
al injunctions, where the places had
been actually closed.
Among these there were the De
Jonghe hotel, a million-dollar estab-
lishment five breweries, also million
dollar establishments, and 135 caba-
rets and saloons. In addition to this,
1,4O0 places were closed by city au-
thorities. While it takes a whole day
to try the average small liquor case
before a jury, by using the injunction
proceeding he can secure the closing
OF fifteen to twenty places a day."

Oil Gift to Publisher

Washlngton.-Pres Coolidge on

Chicago as one of the special counsel
to represent the government in the oil
lease cases. Senate objections were
specifically that Strawn was director

$92,500 of an expected $125,OOO from
the Pioneer Oil company, a Standard
Oil subsidiary, and the promise of an

MORGAN'S LIBRARY
GIVEN TO PUBLIC

New York;. P. Morgan announced
that as memorial to his father, the
late j. Pierpont Morgan, he had turned
over his magnificent library, its val
liable contents, and the ground upon
which it stands, to q board Of trus-
tees, who are intrusted with its main
tenance in perpetuity for the use of
scholars from all parts of the world.
The collection, believed to be the
best in private hands in existence,
was estimated by Mr.. Morgan to be
worth in the vicinity of $700O,0O0.
With it he gave an endowment of ST.
100000. In addition he waived all
personal and legal rights to the prop
erty.
The library, which is to be desig-
mated ''the Pierpont Morgan library"
was first assembled by the late J. Pier.
pont Morgan in 1905.
With the additions which have been
made by Mr.. Morgan since the death,
of his father in 1913 it contains $4,000
books and manuscripts, of which 1O,-
600 are rare or unique.
Mr.. Morgan said the use of the IL
brary would have to be confined toI
scholars and research students and
would have to be denied the general
public because of the fragility of the
books and manuscripts and b.. 'ause,
once injured, they could neither be
restored nor replaced.
