Of it! He had come Of a respectable English
family and was sailor when he joined the
pirates. He boldly raided along the coast Of
North America, where he was aided by col

pirating at one time and settled down in North
Carolina and was even pardoned by the COVER

however, and with Bonnet he went back to his
old trade. He was finally killed in a thrilling
battle with ship sent out by the Governor or

Capt Kidd was the last Of the famous pirates.
His father was Scotch clergyman, but the
son had q rowing disposition and went to sea

settled in New York about 1891. When war

dog. Harry Hansen jumped to his feet with
cry of rage. The animal the seniors had
brought in was Pete, his dog!
The two seniors handed the rope by which
they had been towing Pete to Ed Smith and
left the platform. Then, a smile of triumph
on his face, Ed faced the audience, which was
bowling with glee.
This perfect specimen of canine uselessness,"
said Ed, lis the property of one of my worthy
opponents. We borrowed him for the occa-
SOn."
Borrowed" hOwled Harry wrathfully. you
stole him. you dirty crooks. Come here, Petel
Come down here!"
Now, as told you before, Pete wasn't good
for much except eating sleeping and scratching,
and obedience was not one of his virtues. When
Harry called him the dog looked down at his
master, decided he didn't really want him,
wagged his tail gently and then calmly curled
up on the floor and closed his eyes for good,
long nap.
"Oh. oh, Oh!" groaned Ross Jones. "We're
licked to q pulp! There's your own dog up
there, Harry, knocking down all your argu-
mentS aLoIt faithfulness and intelligence. We
haven't got chance nOw!"

pered. This is smart move by the seniors.
but I've got one just as good. When you get up

With that Bling got to his feet beckoned 70

leaving Harry and Ross gazing after him open
mOuthed.
Meanwhile on the platform Ed Smith was
pressing the great advantage that the exhibition
Of Pete had given his side of the debate III
loud tones he proclaimed the virtues of the
horse and denounced the faults of the canine
family. While Harry wTithed, Ed pointed out
all of Pete's many bad points and through it
all Pete gently snored at his feet, unaware of
the fact that he was aiding in his own masters
downfall.
Finally Ed finished and walked down from
the platform with the knowledge of job well
done. Ross Jones' champion orator Of the
school, prepared to speak for the Juniors. As
he left Harry his face was grim.
We've been the underdogs in this debate
from the start" he muttered, land now we
haven't o chance. But I'll keep talking until
Bling gets back, at least"

INSTALLMENT HI.

INSTALLMENT IT.
TOR few moments it looked as though a
riot would take place in the room. The
seniors and juniors were all on their feet,
gloWering at each other and exchanging
threatening words. Mr. IOpscottle loudly
shouted for order and finally succeeded in max
ing himself heard, although there were still
ominous rumblings from the excited students.
The principal then turned to Harry, who was
still sneezing.
Are you feeling any better, young man?" he
demanded. "Are you able to continue with your
aYgument?"
Harry appeared to be feeling very sad about
something, but his tears were caused by pepper
rather than sorrow. Nevertheless he was no
gutter. He got to his feet, wiped his eyes and
bravely tried to continue.
Its a dirty trick" Bling whispered to Ross
Jones, the other junior debater I'VE ought
to win on foul"
Harry stiN had to sniff now and then, but
he managed to bring out several good arg1-
ments in regard to the faithfulness Of dogs.
After that he proceeded to the subject Of their
intelligence and he had little difficulty in con-
Vincing his audience that dogs were smarter
than horses. He stressed the fact that dogs
could do all sorts of tricks, such as sitting up,
speaking, playing dead chasing balls or sticks
and jumping through hoops, none of which
he did very well and when he came down
from the platform the juniors outdid them
selves in their applause and cheers.
Then came Ed Smith, the star senior debater
and the second speaker for the Affirmative.
Ed faced his audience with a look of calm conf
dence.
"The first speaker for the affirmative" he
said proved to you that horses had been very
useful in history and also that they were use
full on farms and in cities Now shall show
you that horses are more useful than dogs by
establishing two more points. In the first place.
horses are used for many things after they are
dead, such as making soap, cordovan shoes and
fertilizer,
This argument had the juniors worried. They
hadn't thought of taking up the question of
usefulness after death and, although they held
a hurried consultation, they couldn't think of
anything one could do with dead dog except
bury him as quickly as possible.
A ND ed was not yet finished. Finally" he
went on, II will show you that horses are
more useful than dogs because they don't get
mango, neas or hydrophobia; they don't chase
cats, they don't bark at the moon, they don't
lie around sleeping all day as lazy dogs do. To
prove Just how useless dogs are, will show you
one as a horrible example"
Ed suddenly signaled to couple Of seniors
in the front row and they Immediately jumped
up and hurried from the room. wondering
what in the world could be happening, the
audience waited breathlessly. Then the two
seniors reappeared and mounted the platform,
dragging after them skidding, protesting brown
