CHAPTER l

This Is a swashbuckling story of
pirate days. It has as leading char
acters the Buccaneer and his sinister
Second In Commando the Fair Dam
sci In Distress; the Bright
Hero; and those great Intelligences by
whose caprIce--or by whose ordered
Law-our tiny world carries on among

fairs were swept into the mighty on
ward flowing currents of Fate. So up

At the moment our story opens the
Pirate. who was appropriately named
Grimstead. was leaning back In the
stern-sheets of his craft smoking a
cheroot and listening to the low-voiced
conversation OF his Second In Com
mand. He was large, square built,
almost elderly man. with thick bushy
eyebrows jutting over his eyes stern
ly like a pair OF particularly heavy
mustaches. Gardiner. the Second,
was much younger and slenderer,

face and an inscrutabe eye. Neither
Of these men were paying the slightest
attention to anything but each other.
They left that to the man at the
wheel. Indeed. the man at the wheel
alone seemed to be at ait aware of
his surroundings; fol the only other
human being visible on the bobblng,
careening craft was the Damsel In
Distress, and she was completely Oc-
cupied with her own thoughts, which
seemed to be resentful and unpleas-
ant AS beseemed her position In the
story she was young and beauteous;
indeed, most fair to look upon; and
as beseemed the fortuit' that she
filled also the role OF daughter to the
Pirate Chief she was caparisoned
In the most costly garments. The
Bright-ShInlng Hero had not yet APP
peared.
Suddenly and most unexpectedly
loud bang sounded under the port
quarter. The craft staggered, anC a
crash astern announced the fact that
she was hit.
"What Is 1t, Simmlns?" cried the
Pirate Chief, suddenly aroused. "Are
we damaged?"

sadly, opening the door and descend

He walked around to the rear OF the

Ole Miss Coming North With

From DixieIand at Lafayette.

the Boilermakers when they meet
the sturdy Mississippi eleven here
Saturday in an intersectional clash.
Ole Miss is a member of the south
ern conference.
Southern sports experts rate the
Mississippi line as second only to
Alabamas in weight and power. and
it is said to be one of the biggest
forward walls at Mississ phi in re-
cent years. Mississippi depends on
straight, driving football and
powerful plurging backs.
The southern eleven is on the
Purdue schedule between wisconsin,
whom the Boilermakers dropped
Saturday. and Iowa. Big Ten foe to
appear here Nov. Is.
While the Old God and Blacx
mentor does not underestimate the
strength of the Ms 3issppians and
will take no chances on having his
undefeatei record raarred by an un-
heralded eleven, he probably will
find opportunity to test his reserve
strength.
