Blood tend Don Diego fight and the Don jb overpowered. Blood ties Don Diego to a cannon’s mouth and forces his son to consent to help make peace with the Spaniards by telling them all is well on the Cinco [dag as. I CHAPTER Xl—Continued ) "A fight would be averted if Don Ciego de Espinosa were to go aboard his brother’s ship, and by his presence and assurances in form the Admiral that all is well with the Cinco Llagas. But Don Diego cannot go in person, because he has a slight touch of fever— ehall we say? But you, his son, .may convey all this and some other matters together with his homage to your uncle. You shall go in a boat manned by six of these Span ish prisoners, and I —a dis tinguished Spaniard delivered from captivity in Barbados by your re cent raid —will accompany you to keep you in countenance. If 1 re turn alive, and without accident of any kind to hinder our free sailing hence, Don Diego shall have his life, as shall every one of you. But if there is the least misad venture, be it from treachery or ill-fortune—l care not which—the battle, as I have had the honor to explain, will be opened on our side by this gun, and your father will De the first victim of the conflict.” Don Esteban gazed wildly a mo ment upon the shoulders of his father. But his father remained Silent. Something like a sob es caped the boy. “I . . .1 accept,” he answered at last, and swung to the Span iards. “And you—you will accept Joo,” he Insisted passionately. • . CHAPTER XII DON PEDRO SANGRE The Cinco Llagas and the En carnacion, after a proper exchange of signals, lay hove to within a quarter of a mile of each other, and across the intervening space of gently heaving, sunlit waters eped a boat from the former, manned by six Spanish seamen and bearing in her stern sheets Don Esteban de Espinosa and Cap .tain Peter Blood. She also bore two treasure-chests containing fifty thousand pieces of eighj. Gold has at all times been, considered the best of testimonies of good faith. Blood carried fur ther a bulky package addressed to a grande of Spain, heavily sealed with the arms of Espinosa—an cther piece of evidence “ hastily (manufactured in the cabin of the Cinco Llagas. Up the ladder went ’Don Esteban closely followed byi Captain Blood. In the waist stoodl the Admiral himself to receiva them, a handsome, self sufficient man, very tall and stiff, a little older and greyer than Don Diego, whom he closely resembled. He was supported by four officers and a friar in the black and white habit of St. Dominic. Miguel opened his arms to FOR QUICK SERVICE AND HEAVY HAULING PHONE 12) WOOTTEN TRANSFER CO.

Why has he not come, himself, to greet me?” “My father is afflicted at denying himself that honor and pleasure. It is a little fever, the result of a slight wound taken in the recent raid upon Barbados, which result ed in this gentleman’s bappy de liverance.” “Nay, nephew, nay.” Don Miguel protested with ironic repudiation. “I can have no knowledge of these things. I have the honor to repre- > sent upon the seas His. Catholic I Majesty, who is at peace with the King of England. Already you have told me more than it is good for me to know.” But he winked into the twinkling eyes of Captain Blood. "But since Diego cannot come to me, why. I will go across to him.” “If you please, Don Miguel, but that is the very thing you must not do—the very thing Don Diego does not wish you to do. For the truth is that his wounds are not so grave as to have prevented his coming. It was his consideration of himself and the false position in which you would be placed If you had direct word from him of what has happened. . .” Blood paused a moment. “What you hear from us is no more than a mere rumor. Your excellency understands.” His excellency frowned thought fully. “I understand ... in part,” said he. Captain Blood had a moment’s uneasiness. "And we have In the boat below two chests containing fifty thou sand pieces of eight, which we are to deliever to your excellency." "Not another word, in the name /of Heaven!” cried the Admiral in alarm. “My brother wishes- me to assume charge of this money, to carry it to Spain for him? Well, that is a family matter between kny brother and myself.” He broke off. “Hum! A glass of Malaga in ,my cabin, if you please,” he in vited them, “whilst the chests are being hauled aboard.” ' And whilst sailors carried on [board the two chests, the Admiral and Captain Blood exchanged toasts that damned eternally the besotted James who occupied the throne of England. At the end Don Esteban timidly urged: "My father is in haste to reach San Domingo. He desired me to stay "no longer than necessary to embrace you. If you will give us leave, then, sir uncle.” In the circumstances "sir uncle” did not insist. L E.

Hagthorpe ad vanced to receive them. Blood ob served the set, almost scared ex pression on his face. "Don Diego . . .’’ he was be ginning, and then stopped, and looked curiously at Blood. Noting the pause and the look, Esteban bounded forward, his face livid. “Have yon broken faith, you curs? Has he come to harm?" he cried —and the six Spaniards be hind him grew clamorous with furious questionings. “We do not break faith,” said Hagthorpe firmly, so firmly that he . quieted them. “And in this case there was not the need. Don Diego died in his bonds before ever you .-reached the Encarnacion.” Peter Blood said nothing. "Died?” screamed Esteban. “Yon firilled him, you mean. Os what did |he die?” Hagthorpe looked at the boy. “If (I am a judge,” he said, “Don Diego Idled of fear.” Don Esteban .truck Hagthorpe (across the face at that, and Hag Ithorpo would have struck back, but that Blood got between, whilst his followers seized the lad. "He died before I left the Cinco /Llagas.said Blood. "He was Slanging dead in his bonds when I jppoke to him before leaving.” “If I had known that.” the lad paid at last in a thick voice, “you (would be hanging from the yard -arm of the Encarnacion at this moment. But you’ll hang there yet.” Captain Blood shrugged, and turned on his heel. But he did not on that account disregard the words, nor did Hagthorpe, as they showed at a council held that night in the This council was met to de termine what should be done with the Spanish prisoners. Consider ing that Curacao now lay beyond their reach. It had been decided that, going east of Hispanola, and then sailing along its northern coast, they should make for Tor tuga, that haven of the buccaneers It was now a question whether they should convey the Spaniards thither with them, or turn them off in a boat to make the best of their way to the coast of Hispaniola, which was but ten miles off. This course urged by Blood was de termined. (Continued in our next issue), at the home of Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Hines Sunday afternoon. Mr. and Mrs. G. M.

GAS IS NOW USED TO TREAT DISEASE Wehave heard and read a great deal recently about the use of gas in the treatment of disease.

Only a short time ago President Coolidge when suffering from an at tack of the flu was treated with gas. While seated in an air-tight chamber the gas was breathed into the lungs and, having great penetrative pow ers, it quickly penetrated all parts of the body and killed off the flu germs. And now comes forward an enter prising Pensacola firm which manu factures a Healing Gas known as ANTI-PHYMIN for the treatement of various disorders of the body both external and internal. This gas is made burning certain minerals, which process produces a gas that stops all fermentation in the body, thus depriving disease germs of their breeding places. It is non-poisonov.s to the fullest extent. It will be interesting to watch the progress of this new product, t has long passed the experimental stage and has been proven highly successful in the treatment of dis ease. Is it possible that we are on the eve of a complete revolution in the realm of medicine? KLAN WILL MAKE WAR ON LA FOLLETTE KANSAS CITY, Sept. 26.—A report that Hiram W.
