PAGE TWO BfT of the SpanishJtfain Captain ftLOODwb RAFAEL SABATINI. UW* SYNOPSIS. , ’ * Peter Blood, a young Irish physL Irian, is deported at a slave in the Barbados* by King James. He is thought by Colonel Bishop and falls •n love with Arabella, the niece of the colonel. Don Diego de Espinosa f/ I’a!de» captures Bridgetown. Blood saves Mary Traill and Ara bella. He captures the Spanish galleon, the Cinco Llagas. After escaping from another Spanish ship at Hispaniola Cu, .ain Blood sails ♦a Tortuga, rendezvous of the buc caneers of the Spanish Main, There, feeling that Arabella is lost to him forever, he takes command of a pirate fleet and changes the name of the Cinco Llagas to the Arabella. Levasseur, a Frenchman who is in love with Madelon, the romantic daughter of d'Ogeron, joins Blood. Thef are to sail to gether when Levasseur gets word from Madelon to rescue her from a Dutch brig. Levasseur takes the Dutchman, makes a prisoner of Madelon’s brother, and earns her contempt by his brutality. h. CHAPTER XlV—Continued The simple words, and more than the words, their tone of ineffable disdain aroused the passion that cever slumbered deeply in Levas seur. He opened the door, and flung her brother through it. “Put that rubbish under hatches until I call for it again," he roared, •nd shut the door. Composing himself, he turned td the girl again with a deprecatory smile. But no smile answered him from her set face.

Some one knocked. Cursing the Interruption, Levasseur strode oft to open. Cahusac stood before him. The Breton's face was grave. He came to report that they had sprung a leak between wind and water, the consequence of damage sustained from one of the Dutch man's shots. In alarm Levasseur went off with him. Ahead of them a low cloud showed on the horizon, which Cahusac pronounced one ot «, the northermost of the Virgin Is- 1 lands. “We must run for shelter there, and careen her," said Levasseur. “I do not trust this oppressive heat. A storm may catch us before w» make land." “A storm or something else,” said Cahusac grimly. "Have you noticed that?” He pointed away to star board. • Levasseur looked and caught his breath. Two ships that at the dis tance seemed ot considerable bur den were heading towards them some five miles away. For the remainder ot that day Levasseur's thoughts were of any thing but love. He remained on deck, his eyes now upon the land, now upon those two slowly gaining ships. To run for the open could avail him nothing, and in his leaky condition would provide an addi tional danger. He must stand at bay and fight. And then, towards evening, when within three miles of shore and when he was about to give the order to strip for battle, he almost fainted from relief to hear « voice from the crow's-nest above announce that the larger of the • two ships was the Arabella. Her companion was presumably a prize.

A rich capture of which two-fifths under the articles went to Levasseur and his crew. Os the money ind Jewels a division was made on the spot. The cacao it was agreed should be taken to Tortuga to be sold. Then it was the turn of Levas seur. and black grew the brow of Captain Blood as the Frenchman’* tale was unfolded. At the end he roundly expressed his disapproval. But Levasseur answered him, as he had answered Cahusac, that a ship was a ship, and it was ships they needbi against their projected enterprise. Perhaps because things had gone well with him that day. Blood ended by shrugging the mat ter aside. Thereupon Levasseur proposed that the Arabella and her prize should return to Tortuga there to unload the cacao and enlist the further adventurers that could now be shipped. Levasseur mean while would effect certain neces- Bary repairs, and then proceed south, await his admlreal at Salta tudos for their enterprise against i hlaracaybo. To Levasseur’s relief, Captain Blood not only agreed, but pro nounced himself ready to set sail at once. No sooner had the Arabella de parted than Levasseur brought hi» ships into the lagoon, and set his crew to work upon the erection oi .emporary quarters ashore for him self, his men, and his enforced i guests during the careening and repairing of La Foudre. At sunset that evening the wind freshened; it grew to a ?ale, and from that to such a hurricane that Levasseur was thankful to find him. self yshore and his ships in safe Shelter, CHAPTER XV THE RANSOM In the glory of the following morning, sparkling and clear after the storm, with an invigorating, briny tang in the air from the salt ponds on the south of the island, a curious scene was played on the beach of the Virgen Magra, at the foot of a ridge of bleached dunes, beside the spread of sail from which Levasseur had improvised a tent Ealhorfed. upon, an. empty cask SATURDAY NIGHT Fried Chicken With Hoi R9IU ORDERS TAKEN FOR Fruit Cakes TEA ROOM Sumter Maid Butter ls Good for the Kiddies SESi It is made under the most sanitary conditions possi ble, and contains only the most noruishing ingredients.

Befcfre him, guarded by two half-naked negroes, stood young I’Ogeron. Near at hand, and under guard, mademoiselle his aister sat hunched upon a hillock of sand. Levasseur addressed him self to M. d'Ogeron. "I trust, monsieur,” said he, with mock suavity, "that I have made myself quite clear. Your ransom is fixed at twenty thousand pieces ot eight, and you shall have liberty on parole tc go to Tortuga to collect it. Meanwhile, your sister remains with me as a hostage.” "1 refuse —UJteriy and absolutely, •lo you understate? So do your worst, and be datnfiix for a fi.thy pirate,” cried I’Ogeron. “Remember your sister’s honour Is in pawn to me. Should you for get to return with the dowry, you will net consider it unreasonable that I forget to marry her.” M. d'Ogeron observed the grey despair that had almost stamped the beau ty from her face. "No, you dog I A thousand times, no!” . “I beg that you will spare your self and your sister,” said the Op- ■ tain, “by being reasonable. I have s ' been too modest. But since I have ] said twenty thousand pieces ot eight, twenty thousand pieces it 1 shall be.” “And for what, it you please, have you said twenty thousand pieces of eight?” Startled, Levasseur and his offi cers looked up and around. On the crest ot the dunes behind them, in sharp silhouette against the deep cobalt of the sky, they beheld a tall, lean figure scrupulously dressed in black with silver lace, ■a crimson ostrich plume curled about the broad brim of his hat affording the only touch of colour. Under that hat was the tawny fuc» of Captain Blood. “Good morning, my Captain,’ said he, “it was last night’s hurri cane compelled our return But who are thes»?” Levasseur gnawed Uis lip, and changed colour. But he controlled himself to answer civilly: "As you see, two prisoners." "Ah! Washed ashore in last night’s gale, eh?"
