 Things had not sped at all we'll with him in the past fortnight, since his acceptance of the kings commission. There had been trouble with Bishop from the moment of landing. As Blood and Lord Julian had stepped shore to- gether they had been met by Colonel Bishop, who took no pains to dissemble his chagrin at the turn of events and his determination. to change it.
 Blood's thoughts were upon this and other things as he lounged there on the daybed. He had been a fortnight in Port Royal, his ship virtually unit now in Jamaica squadron. And when the news of it reached Tortuga and the buccaneers who awaited his return, the name of Captain Blood, which had stood so high among the brethern of the coast, would become a byword. And for what had he placed himsef in this position? For the sake of girl who avoided him so persistently and inten- tionally that he. must assume that she still regarded him with an aversion. Nor was that the worst of it. He was allowed plainly to perceive that it was the graceful, elegant young trifler from St. James, Lord Julian Wade, to whom her every moment was devoted. What chance had he, a desperate ad- yenturer with a record of outlawry !; against such rival as, that; a man of
The Birmingham age-herald., 1924-09-27

parts, moreover, as he was bound to admit?
 A boat that had approached un- noticed from the shore came scraping and pumping against the. great hull of the Arabella. Captain Blood rose, tall, active and arrestingly elegant in a scarlet, gold-laced coat that advertised his new position.
 "A note for you from Deputy-Gov. ernor," said Jeremy Pitt shortly, as he proffered folded sheet.
 Blood broke the seal and read 'It is very premptory summons" he said and passed the note to his friend.
 The young masters grey eyes shim- med it.
 You'll not go? he said, between question and assertion. Why did ye let Wolyerstone and the others go?" he cried, with a touch of bitterness. You should have seen the danger"
 How could in honesty have de- tained them? It was in the bargain. Besides, how could their staying have helped meY' And as Pitt did not ans. wer him: "Ye ,seeY he said and shrug- ged. '.I'll be getting my hat and cane and sword, and go ashore in the cock boat. See it manned for me-"
 We're going to deliver yourself into Bishops hands, Pitt warned him.
 Blood knew as well as Pitt that in going ashore that morning he carried his life in his hands. Walking leisurely, he skirted the embattled wall and passed

 And what else would you be calling me now"
 Hardly unfortunate. We have heard of your good fortune on the seas; how your luck has passed into q byword. And we have heard other things; of your good fortune in other directions"
 She spoke hastily, the thought of Mademoiselle d'Ogeron in her mind. And instantly would have recalled the words had she been able. But Peter Blood swept them lightly aside, reading into them none of her meaning, as she feared he would.
 Aye; deal of lies, devil doubt, as could prove to you" "I cannot think why you should trouble to put yourself on your defense" !" she discouraged him.
 ''So that ye may think less badly of me than you do."
 What think of you can be very little matter to you, sir"
 Gan ye say that now? Can ye say that, beholding me in this livery of a service I despise? Didn't ye tell me that I might redeem the past? It's little enough am concerned to redeem the past save only in your eyes. In my own I've done nothing at all that l am ashamed of, considering the provo cation I received"
 IT can't think why you should speak to me like this," she said, with less than her earlier assurance.
 "Ah, now can't ye indeed?" he cried. "Sure, then, I'll be telling ye.' "Oh please!" There was real larm in her voice. q realize fully what you did, and I realize that partly, at least, you may have been urged by consideration for myself. Believe me,

keen and active interest in the girls. 1t has been great comfort to parents to know that if a daughter was i'll or in trouble we would look after her. We never had any children of our own so, we had to adopt the Vassar girls.
 "In recent years have been inter- ested in foreign mission work and we have spent great deal of time in Cairo, Egypt, where my wife took as much in- terest as I did and was very active.
 "We work together harmoniously. Our ideas are alike. It is hard to tell what she did and what I did for we work together so unitedly.
 My wife is of an earnest, strong re- ligious nature. My life would be a failure without here"

 A livelier color crept into her cheeks. But, if she resented his tone and his words, she stifled her resent ment. She realized that perhaps she had herself provoked his anger. She honestly desired to make amends.
 You are mistaken" she began. "It isn't that"
 What is it, then?' quoth he, and added the question: "Lord Julian Och, be frank with me-" he urged her, unpardonably. "T will be kind- ness, so it will" "You--you are quite insufferable, " she said. T beg that you will let me pass"
 "I'll not be detaining you any long. CT, ma'am. After all, the cursed thing did for nothing. can be undone. Ye1l remember afterwards that it was your hardness drove me-"
 You take that tone! You dare to take that tone!" she cried, astounding him by her sudden vehemence. You have the effrontery to upbraid me be- cause I will not take your hands when I know how they are stained; when l know you for a murderer and worse P 1 "A murderer-IY' he said at last.

through the great gates into the court yard. On his right stretched spacious garden, beyond which rose the white house that was the residence of the deputy governor. In that gardens main avenue, that was fringed with palm and sandalwood, he had caught sight of Miss Bishop alone. He crossed the court yard with suddenly heightened stride.
 Good morning to .e, ma'am," was his greeting as he overlook her; and, hat in hand now, he added on a note of protest: "Sure, it's nothing less than uncharitable to make me run in this heat"
 "Why do you run, then" she asked him cooly, standing slim and straight before him, all in white and very maid enly save in her unnatural composure q am pressed" she informed him. So you will forgive me if do not stay"
