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.”

"Will I say" a prayer for your soul?’*
urbanity now in Captain Blood Ills
light eyes blazed: his face was
set.
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. >

Don Diego, with his body
stretched in an arc across the can
non’s mouth, legs and arms lashed
to the carriage on either side of it,
eyeballs rolling in his head, glared
maniacally at Captain Blood • A
man may not fear to die, and yet
be appalled by the form in which
death comes to him.
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

POTATOES AND CABBAGE
DECLINE IN PRICE
ATLANTA, Sept. 25. (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.

ELFCTION MYSTERY
Party Dopesters Are Wondering
What Her Vote Will Do in
November
BY HARRY B. 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.
Even beaten, he will have, as a
! lame duck, until March 4, 1925, to

pen will be taken out of it. But if
.* he’s re-elected, he’ll have the incre

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.
