SYNOPSIS. •ter Blood, a young Irish physi is wrongly condemned as a rebel against King James and is deported to Bridgetown in Barba does. There he is purchased as a slave by Colonel Bishop, military commander, at the behest of Ara bella, the Colonel’s niece. A Span ish galleon, the Cinco Llagas, un der command of Don Diego de Es pinosa y Valdez, captures the city. While the Spaniards sack the city, Blood sends Mary and Arabella back of the city to safety. He leads his fellow rebels-convict on board the ship and captures it. Colonel Bishop goes on board and Blood holds the military commander as hostage while the ship puts out of port and sends Bishop over the gangplank. Don Diego, taken pris oner, is told by Blood to sail the ehip to Curacao, a Dutch settle ment, in return for his liberty. Jeremy Pitt, who had studied navi gation, suspects Don Diego is be traying them. CHAPTER Xl—Continued New to the seas of the Spanish Main and to the ways of the adven turers who sailed It, Captain Blood still entertained illusions. But the next dawn was to shatter them rudely and fdr ever. Coming on deck before the sun was up, he saw land ahead, as the Spaniard had promised them last night Beating out aweather, against tbs gentle landward breeze he be held a great ship on their sts.. board bow, that he conceived to be some three or four miles off, and— as well as he could judge her at that*distance—of a tonnage »equal ■ if not superior to their own. Even as he watched her she altered her course, and going about came beading'toward them, close hauled. "There,” said a soft voice be hind him in liquid Spanish, "is the Promised Land, Don Pedro.” He turned sharply to face Don Diego, so sharply that the sly jmile was not effaced from the Spaniard's coutenance before Cap tain Blood's eyes had flashed upon It “What land is that?” he demand ed. "Will you have the effrontery to tell me that is the coast of Cu racao. That land, you treacherous, torsworn Spanish dog, is the is-; 1 land of Hispaniola.” “Ah, perro Ingles! You know too much,” he said under his breath, and sprang for the Cap tain's throat Tight-locked in each other’s arms they swayed a moment, then to gether they went down upon the deck, the Spaniard’s feet jerked z'rom under him by the right leg of Captain Blood. The Spaniard had depended upon choking the life but of Blood, and sc gaining the jhalf-hour that might be necessary to bring up that Hue ship that was towards them. But all that Don Diego had accomplished was to betray himself completely. “Will I say a prayer for your dirty sou! now, whilst I am in this; position?" Captain Blood was furi ously mocking him. “Who will pray for your soul, J wonder, when that galleon come? io lie board and board with you?' Do you know what ship it is? It is the Encarnacion, the flagship of; Don Miguel de Espinosa, the Lord Admiral of Castile, and Don Miguel is my frother. It is a verC. fortu nate encounter. The Almighty, you Isee, watches over the destinies of Catholic Spain.” There was no trace of humor or |j( CHILDREN'S FATAL DISEASES , Worms and parasites in the intestines ‘of children undermine health and so weaken their vitality that they are unable to resist the diseases so fatal to child life.

He rose, relinquishing the Spin iard to his men. "Make him fast," he hade them. "Truss him. wrist and heel, but don't hurt him not so much as a hair of his precious I head." Captain Blood regarded him steadily out of a face which, if im passive, had paled under its deep tan. About the prisoner, clamant, infuriated, ferocious, the rcbcls convict surged, almost literally “athirst for his blood." “Wait," Captain Blood Im perl ously commanded, and turning on his heel, he went aside to the rail. As he stood there deep in thought, he was joined by Ilagthorpe, Wol verstone, and Ogle the gunner. In silence they stared with him across the water at that other ship. “In less than half-an hour," said Blood presently, “we shall have her athwart our hawse, sweeping our decks with her guns." "We can fight," said the one-eyed giant with an oath. “Fight!" sneered Blood. "Under manned as we are, mustering a bare twenty men, in what case are we to fight? No, there would be only one way. To persuade her that all is well aboard, that we are Spaniards, so that she may leave us to continue on our course." Ogle, with a bent for sarcasm, Interposed a suggestion bitterly. “We might send Don Diego do Espinosa in a boat manned by his Spaniards to assure his brother the Admiral that we are all loyal subjects of his Catholic Majesty." “Bedad! ye’ve said it. He doesn’t fear death, this damned pirate; but his son may take a dis iferent view. Filial piety’s mighty strong in Spain." He swung on his heel abruptly, and strode back to the knot of men about his prix [Oner. "Here!” he shouted to them. "Bring him below.” In the ward-room the three stern chasers were in position, loaded, itheir muzzles thrusting through the open ports, precisely as the Spanish gunners had left them. “Here, Ogle, is work for you," said Blood, and as the burly gun ner came thrusting forward through the throng of gaping men, Blood pointed to the middle chaser: “Have that gun hauled back,” he ordered. When this was done, Blood beck oned those who held Don Diego. “Lash him across the mouth of it,” he bade them, and whilst, as sisted by another two, they made haste to obey, he turned to thn others. “To the roundhouse, some of you, and fetch the Spanish pris oners. And you, Dyke, go up an,' bid them set the flag of fuc’u aloft " , In a few years airships will cease to be considered hadrships. The ship of state is a hardship to steer. > S PREADJIT ON -A'— THICK!

Captain Blood vouchsafed him a malignant smile, before he turned to meet the fifteen manacled Span ish prisoners. From amongst them n comely, olive-skinned stripling, distinguished in bearing and ap parel from his companions, started .forward with an anguished cry of "Father!" Writhing in the arms that made haste to seize and hold him, he galled upon heaven and hell to Rvert this horror, and lastly, ad dressed to Captain Blood an ap peal for mercy that was at once fierce and piteous. Recovering the cynicism in which ke had approached his task, the cynicism essential to its proper performance Blood commanded Ogle to kindle a match and remove ,he leaden apron from the touch- . hole of the gun that bore Don I Diego. Then, as the younger , Espinosa broke into intercessions hringled with imprecations, he wheeled upon him sharply. “Peace!” he snapped. “It is Four father’s treachery that has ' brought us into this plight and I deliberately Into risk of capture I ftnd death aboard that ship of I fcpain.

(By The Associated Press.) —Potatoes and cabbage showed considerable de clines in price, while apples and peaches held their ground, with most other lines being irregular, ac cording to the weekly market re view issued here by T. C. Curry, o; the Bureau of Agricultural Econo mics of the United States Depart ment of Agriculture. The whole sale markets were a bit unsettled durng the third week of September, the report shows. Shipments of fall products were fast increasing, as well as apples and grapes making gains of I,lob cars each, while the movement of onions came very near being doubl ed. The sharpest decreases were in peaches, cantaloupes and water melons. The combined output of 21 products was carried well past, the 24,000 mark, but still was 4,000 cars lighter than during the same period last year. The watermelon season is now closing with a record of 44,000 cars, being almost as great as the 1922 crop. FOR QUICK SERVICE AND HEAVY HAULING PHONE 121 WOOTTEN TRANSFER CO.

HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—How much do women really care about politics? That’s what the party dopestara are wondering about. They figure the first real test will come this fall. Women had the franchise four years ago but it had only just, been given to them and there wasn’t ti ne enough before* election for much of an effort to get their full vote out. This campaign a very vigorous effort is being made. That a few women are interest ed there’s no question. Triose en gaged in the woman’s work of the campaign are as enthusiastic as tny of the brethren. But the rank and file? Party managers speak very confi dently of the feminine Support they except their various tickets to get, but the fact is they don’t knew, can’t even guess. It’s possible for more women’s votes to be cast than men’s. There are more women in the country. A good many men are indifferent. The ballot’s no noveltv to them Women, to whom it is a novel! may get a “kick” out of casting if for just that reason. Or maybe they haven’t genera 1 iy been educated up to an interest ‘n politics yet. The next three or four weeks will tell the story. Registration will be about finished then. If wo men don’t register they can’t vote. If they do it’s fair to as sume most of them will be on hand at the polls. Dire'cttor S. T. Mather of the National Park Service is going to South America to look over the scen ery for ideas worth adopting in this country. He may see some things he’ll have trouble reproduc ing here, -even with government aid. For instance, on the Argentine- Brazilian border he’ll see Iguazu Falls. They’re higher and wider than Niagara. The gorge they emp ty into is deeper than Niagara, too. This gorge in turn empties into the River Parana. Neary everv vear, during high water, the Parana backs into the gorge and fills it clean to the top, so that, for the time being, there are no falls. Imagine Director Mather getting Lake Ontario to back into the Nia gara River until the falls disap ' peared. 1 If “Jim” Couzen wins in Novem ber. as he won in the Michigan ser- ■ atorial primaries, it means his >n ; vestigation of prohibition, in con - nection with his treasury inquiry, will go the limit.

In spite of everything, the other congressional investigations will lack, after election, something of the jazz which characterized "them before the houses adjourned. Thea everybody was-interested in the ef fect they might have on the 1924 campaign. When they’re resumed —such as are resumed—the nex: election will be a long way ahead, way ahead. Prohibition, however, is nonpar tisan, with an interest all its own. Although America isn’t in on toe pending international arbitration nc gotations at Geneva, the Washing ton government keeps an eye cn them. England’s statement of the terms on which she’s willing to accept com pulsory arbitration has rather Stumped officials here. Compulsory arbitration is all right, the English say, but it mustn’t apply to any thing their navy does in attempting to keep or restore peace. The Washington officials impres sion is that this leaves considerable latitude for interpretation and it’.s England’s latitude —whatever in doings, other countries will have to agree to. However, being no party to the terpretation she puts on her nav’.’s negotiations, America hasn’t any thing to say about it. YOUNG STRIBLING LGCFS BATTLE WITH STONE NEWARK. N. J.. Set. 24.—Pv a furious finish in the final round dur ing which he sent his opponent to the floor, without a count. Ad Stone, of Paternson, N. J-, earned a newspaper decision over Young Stribling, of Macon, Ga.. in their 12-lround i'ght heavyweight fight last night. Stribling’s seed and use of a lightning left jab had matched Stone’s punches to the body during the first eleven rounds of fast ac tion punctuated by frequent clinch es. When they came up for the last frame the Georgian was atop of his opponent for the first few moments, but Stone fought his way out and caught Stribling off balance with a left hook, which sent him to the floor. The Georgian was up immedi ately with a smile, but Stone, en couraged by the Jersey crowd, sail ed in with a body attack under which his younger opponent crum bled. Stone beat Stribling about the ring, almost without opposition during' the rest of the round, but could not drop his opponent. The sensational finish was a cli max to a stirring battle. Stribling, annoyed by an unfriendly reception by the crowd, opened the fight with a speedy attack, landing almost at will. Stone found himself in the second round opened a body attack which he continued throughout the bout. , Stone had an advantage of 11 pounds over his youthful rival, com ing in at 179 while Stribling weigh ed 168.
