"Then let me put It in another
way-perhaps more happily: You do
not desire to live?
"Ah, that / can answer. ] do de-
sire to live: and even more do de-
sire that my son may live. But the
desire shall not make a coward OF
me for your amusement, master
mocker." 1t was the first sign he
had shown Of the least heat or re-
sentiment.
Capt. Blood did not directly answer.
AS before he perched himself on the
corner of the table.
Would you be willing. sir. to earn
life and liberty-for yourself. your
son. and the other Spaniards who are
on board?"
ITO earn it?" said Don Diego. and
the watchful blue eyes did not miss
the culver that ran through him. ITO
earn it, do you say? Why. IL the
service you would propose is one that
cannot hurt my honor
Gould 1 be guilty of that?" pro-
tested the captain. Il realize that
even a pirate has his honor" And
forthwith he propounded his offer.
IF you will look from those win
dows. Don Diego. you will see what
appears to be a cloud on the horizon.
That is the Island of Barbados well
astern. All day we have been sailing
east before the wind with but one in :
tent-to set as great distance be-
tween Barbados and ourselves as
possible. But now, almost out of
sight Of land, we are in a difficulty.

there are one or two men aboard who
can assist me; but of the higher mys-

of finding way over the trackless
wastes Of ocean we know nothing.
To hug the land. and go blundering
about what you SO aptly tall this
pestilent archipelago, is for us to
court disaster, as you can perhaps
conceive. And so it comes to this:
We desire to make for the Dutch
settlement of Curacao as straightly
as possible. VIII you pledge me
your honor. IL l release you upon
parole, that you will navigate US
thither? If SO, we will release you
and your surviving men upon arrival
there"
Don Diego bowed his head upon his
breast. and strode away in thought
to the stern windows. There he
stood looking out upon the sunlit sea
and the dead water in the great ships s
wake-his ship. which these English
dogs had wrested from him; his ship,
which he was asked to bring safely
into a port where she would be COM
pletely lost to him and refitted per-
haps to make war upon his kin.
That was in one scale; in the other
were the lives of p6 men. Fourteen

and their friendly feeling toward
him was fostered by his fortitude
and brave equanimity in this ad-
versity.
That Don Diego was not playing
fair IT was impossible to suspect.
Moreover. there was no conceivable
reason why he should not. And he
had been of the utmost frankness
with them. He had denounced their
mistake in sailing before the wind
upon leaving Barbados. They should
have left the island to leeward. head
ing into the Caribbean and away
from the archipelago. AS IT was, they
would now be forced to pass through
this archipelago again so as to make
Curacao, and this passage was not
to be accomplished without some
measure of risk to themselves. At
any point between the islands they
might come upon an equal or su
Ierior craft; whether she were Span
ish or English would be equally bad
for them and, being undermanned.
they were in no case to fight. To
lessen this risk as far as possible.
Don Diego directed at first a souther-
ly and then a westerly course: and
so, taking a line midway between
the Islands of Tobago and Grenada,
they won safely through the danger
zone and came into the comparative
security Of the Caribbean Sea.
"If this wind holds" he told them
that night at supper, after he had
announced to them their position,
I'VE should reach Curacao inside
three days"
For three days the wind held, in
deed it freshened a little on the
second, and yet when the third night
descended upon them they had still
| made no landfall. The Cinco Llagas
was plowing through a sea contained
| on every side by the blue bowl Of
heaven. Capt. Blood uneasily men
toned it to Don Diego.
1T will be for tomorrow morning"
he was answered with calm convic-
ton.
BY all the saints. it is ALWAYS
| tomorrow morning with you Span
| iards, and tomorrow never comes, my
| friend"
But this tomorrow Is coming. rest
assured. However early you may be
astir, you shall see land ahead, Don
| Pedro"
Capt. Blood passed on, content, and
| went to visit Jerry Pitt, his patient,
to whose condition Don Diego owed
his chance for life. For "a hours now
| the fever had left the sufferer and.
lacerated back was beginning to heal
| satisfactorily. So far. indeed, was he
| recovered that he complained of his
confinement, of the heat in his cabin.
To indulge him Capt. Blood consent
ed that he should take the air on
deck. and SO, as the last of the day
light was fading from the sky, Je-
remy Pitt came forth upon the cap
| tains arm.
Seated on the hatch -coamings. the
Somersetshire lad gratefully filled his
lungs with the cool night air. and
professed himself revived thereby.
Then with the seaman's instinct his
eyes wandered to the darkling vault
or heaven, spangled already with a
myriad golden points of light Awhile
he scanned it idly, vacantly; then his
attention became sharply fixed. He
looked round and up at Capt. Blood,
who stood beside him.

He swung his legs from the couch,

his elbows on his knees. He had
taken the measure of his man, and
met him with a mock-urbanity and a
suave detachment that matched his

black beard.

Capt Blood stood up. From shelf
he took a half-hour glass, reversed

on the table.

a matter, Don Diego. but one glass
is all that l can give you. II by the

Capt. Blood bowed, went out, and
locked the door.
Elbows on his knees and face in his

rusty sands as they filtered from the
upper to the lower bulb. And what
time he watched, the lines in his lean

reopened.

Don Diego sank back to the couch

the tawny face above him. He COM

the stoicism proper to his desperate
trade. The dice had fallen against
him in this venture. The tables had
