The sight of Ara bella stirs all his love for her, but A« fears his career as a pirate has blasted all hopes of winning her love. CHAPTER XVll—Continued The iady had been monstrously ■uncivil to the Captain. It was a very foolish attitude for a lady in her circumstances to adopt to wards a man in Blood’s; and his 'lordship could not imagine Miss Bishop as normally foolish. Yet, In spite of her rudeness, in spite of the fact that she was the niece of a man whom Blood must regard as his enemy, Mies Bishop and his lordship had been shown the ut most consideration aboard the Cap .tain’s ship. They were given the SgH [muT >|TWT | Mn < • - v 1 I“I sea.

Also there was the ■ fact that Blood, himself, bad kept jalmost studiously from Intruding upon them. His lordship decided to seek ad iditlonal information from Miss .Bishop. For this he must wait un til Pitt and Wolverston# should 'have withdrawn. He was hardly J made to wait so long, for as Pitt I rose from the table to follow Wol • versions, who had already depart ed, Mias Bishop detained him with a question: ' “Mr. Pitt,” she asked, “were you not one of those who escaped from Barbados with Captain Blood t” ! “I was. I too, was one of your uncle’s slaves." "Did you ever sail with a French man named Cahusac?" I “Cahusac?” Pitt laughed. The name evoked a ridiculous memory. .“Aye. He was with us at Maracay bo.” “And another Frenchman named Levasseur?” “Aye. Cahusao was Levasseur’s lieutenant, until )ie died.” "Until who died?" “Levasseur, He was killed on one of the .Virgin Islands two years .ago" “Who killed him?" “CapUlh Blood killed him.*' i “Whjrt’ ’ “They quarreled," he said short ly- "Wa# it abput a , , , a lady?” Mias Bishop relentlessly pursued “Ypujnlght put 1( that way.’’ wa# the lady’s name?” “MIM (’Ogeron.

He paused in the ooorway to Impart a piece of information. “Maybe it’ll comfort y.cu to know that the Captain has altered ou~ course for your benefit. It’s his intention to put you both ashore on the coast of Jamaica, as near Port Royal as we dare venture. We’ve gone about, and if this wind holds ye’ll soon be home again, mistress.” He went out, leaving ais lordship pensive, those dreamy blue eyes of his intently studying Miss Bishop's f ce for all their dreaminess; his mind increasingly uneasy. “He amazes me, this man," said he, in his slow, languid voice that 'never seemed to change its level. ‘‘That he should alter his course for us is In itself matter for won der; but that he should take a risk on our behalf —that he should venture into Jamaica waters . . . It amazes me, as 1 have said.” “What is still more amazing is that he does not hold us to ran som,” said she at last. “It’s what you deserve." “Oh, and why, if you please?” “For speaking to him as you did." “I usually call things by their names.” “Do you? Stab me! 1 shouldn’t bi .st of it. It argues either ex treme youth or extreme foolishness, iSo does the display of ingratitude.” - A faint colour stirred in her icheeks. “It is news to me that in 'gratitude is a fault only to be 'found in the young and the fool iish.” “You are probablj aware that he delivered us,” said he. “And living as you have done in these savage places of the world, you can hardly fail to be aware of what is known even in England: that this fellow Blood strictly confines himself to ■making war upon the Spaniards. So that to call him thief and pirate as you did was to overstate the case against him at a time when it would have been more prudent Mi have understated it.” “Prudence?” Her voice «a# scornful. “What have I to do with prudence?” “Nothing—as I perceive. But, at least, study generosity. 1 tell yoa frankly, ma’am, that in Blood’s . place I should never have been so nice. Sink me! To be sold into -slavery! Uh!” His lordship sliud idered. “And to a damned col onx&l planter!" He checked abruptly. “I Ibeg your pardon. Miss Bishop. For the moment . . .” “You were carried away by youi heat in defened of this . . . sea rob ber.” Miss Bishop's scorn was al most fierce. His lordship stared at her again. Then he half closed his large, pale eyes, and tilted his head a little. "I wonder why you hat. him so,” he said softly. He saw the sudden scarlet flame upon her cheeks, the heavy frown that descended upon her brow. But there was no explosion. “Hate him? Lord! What a thought! I don’t regard the fello.v at all.” "Then ye should, ma’am.” His lordship spoke his thought frankly. “He’s worth regarding. He’d be an acquisition to the King’s navy. A great man, Miss Bishop. > man w'orth regarding.” t Miss Bishop was moved to sar casm. “You should use your influence with my Lord Sunderland to have the King offer him a commission.” His lordship laughed softly. "Faith, it’s done already. 1 have his commission in my pocket.” And he increased her amazement by a brief exposition of the circum stances. In that amazement he left her, and went in quest of Blood. Ho found the Captain pacing the quarter-deck. With the amiable familiarity he used, Lord Julian slipped an arm through one of the Captain’s and fell into step beside him. “What’e this?” snapped Blood. “I desire, sir, that we be friends," said he aauvely. “That’s mighty condescending of you!” Lord Julian ignored the obvious sEtcasm. “It’s an odd coincidence that we should have been brought together in this fashion, considering that I came out to the Indies especially to seek you.” And he proceeded to explain himself and his mission. “Ye’re my guest aboard this ship,” said Captain Blood, “and I still have some notion of decent behavior left me from other days, thief and pi rate though I may be. So I’ll not be telling you what I think of you for daring to bring me thia offer, or of my Ixird Sunderland— since he’s your kinswap —for having the impudence to send it But it does not surprise me at all that one who is a minister of Janies Stuart’s should conceive that every Iman is to be seduced by bribes in to betraying those who trust him,” in our next issue). $5,000 W LOAN On Americui | Residence Property j Phone 830 [MELT HIM | [MGS[®W Os Nffl PORTFOLIO Accepts New York Candidacy So He May Climb Higher, Thinks Hunt BY HARRY B. HUNT NEA Service Writer WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Just why did Teddy Roosevelt resign his job as assistant secretary of navy after he had been nominated as the G. 0. P. candidate for governor of New York? This is a question that is receiv ing a seemingly asburd amount of consideration here in Washington. Offhand, the simple and probably correct answer would seem to be that he resigned as to be foot loose to plunge full tilt into his bat tle to unseat Governor Al Smith, his Democratic rival. But simple and direct answers do not satisfy the politically sus picious here in the capital. They’re always seeking some underlying mo tive. To be obvious, they hold, isn’t politic. There must always bo “something back” of everything taat is done. After cogitating on the fact that other federal office holders have not resigned in order to prosecute their campaigns that President Coolidge kept on being president; that Gover nor Bryan has held onto his job as governor of Nebraska; that Seantor La Follette and Wheeler, following the example of Senator Harding when he was running for president 1 have held onto their togas pending the result of the election, these wise acres have found an “explanation” which is interesting, whether -t is accurate or not. * * * Teddy, this explanation!! goes, re signed as assistant secretary of navy in order that he might be eligible for appointment as secretary of navy in case he is defeated for gov ernor of New York and Coolidge still wins for the presidency. Politicians generally take it for granted Secretary Wilbur will not be retained in the official family should Coolidge succeed himself, Wilbur, cabinet critics hold, hasn’t measured up. Whatever his ability, he isn’t sufficiently politically mind ed, they say, to maneuver a repart mental dreadnaught safely through the high political seas that are ex pected to be running through the next four years. The speech which he delivered while out west, prior to his recent recall to Washington, and the speech which he was to'have delivered at Denver, but didn’t, are cited as pro ing that he is entirely too frank and IT WON’T WARP and IT WON’T BURN THERE’S a better material than wood ceiling for your house.

For a cabinet official must forget personal opinions and speak only ap proved administration and party doctrine if he is to be a bulwark of strength to his chief. * * * On the theory then* that a new helmsman must be found for the navy in event of a Coolidge victory, the Roosevelt resignation is held to have cleared the way for young T. R.’s appointment in case he fails in his case for the New York gover norship of New York. That there is a chance Roosevelt may lose New York even though Coolidge carries the state by a sub stantial majority, an analysis of the New York vote for 1920 and 1922 reveals as easily possible. c. of emfflM i RESULTS FROM K i Keeping Patrons Informed ’ Through Newspapers Enter- 1 ing Fourth Year The plan of the Gentry of Georgia Railway to keep its patrons inform- 1 ed by the publicanton of monthly statements in newspapers along its lines has had splendid results, ac cordmg to President, L. A. Downs. The plan is now entering its fourth consecutive year and Mr. Downs says he believes the monthly statements of the Central have help 'ed the people in this territory to be come better informed in regard to the Central and other railroads. One effect has been to help the Cen tral of Georgia become better ac quainted with the needs of its pa trons and to make hll employes of the road more eager to render better service. President Downs be lieves there is much less prejudice against the railroads now than there was 3 years ago; that citizens gen erally realize it is more important to their own welfare to help the rail roads through ■ constructive' treat ment than to injure them through unconstructive regulations. Part of this change in sentiment, he believes has been due to the informative statements published each month. In discussing the matter, Mr. Downs reviews the subjects that have been treated in the monthly I statements in simple, non-technical manner, and with the desire to de velop better understanding through informing the public about the rail roads and informing the Central about its patrons’ needs and wishes. He says that after three years of this work he is convinced that the) patrons understand and apporve of what the railroad is trying to do. 1 6TH PLACE WON BY GA. BOYS AT DAIRY SHOW ATHENS', Oct. 7.—Sixth place t was won by a team composed of Georgia boys in competition with , boys from 21 other states in a na- ■ tional live stock judging icontest ■ held in connection with the Nation ; al Dairy Show in Milwaukee, it is said by the Georgia Board for Vo cational Education of Athens. The first 10 states in the con • test, in which Georgia was the only , southern state represented, were as > follows: lowa, Nebraska, Minne sota, Maryland, Indiana, Georgia, i Michigan, Missouri, Illinois and - West Virginia. The Georgia team was composed ; of Julian Burns, William Ray and i Dennis Reynolds, all agricultural . students in the Hartwell High f school. They weresaccompanied on 1 their trip by their agricultural in structor, L. E. Hambrick, and by L. M. Sheffer, assistant state super visor of agricultural education.

Yet the Repub lican candidate for governor was elected by a bare 74,066 votes— more than one million behind the national ticket No ene familiar with the vote getting qualitites of Governor Al Smith foresees any walkaway for young Roosevelt in the state race. Nor does even the most enthusiastic Coolidge fan foresee any such ma- ( jority for the national ticket year as was given Harding in 1920. 1 In the off-year in 1922, Smith defeated Governor Miller’s victory by 74,066 two years preci-, ously—a turnover the the Demo crats of some 450,000 votes. Can even a Roosevelt overturn that ma-, jority against “East Side Al”?

The cattle were aboard the Bra zilian steamship and were destined for Vere Cruz, Mexico, but were brought by that port because of a longshoremen’s strike there. Upon arrival here Dr. Staun refused to permit the cattle to be landed nor would he allow any member of the. crew of the vessel tocome ashore. This action was taken because the cattle had come from territory known to.be infested. The cattle were returned to Vera Cruz, landed there and taken into-the interior of Mexico.

MINISTER BERNE, Switzerland, Oct. 7 An automobile incident of the kind which is common in Switzerland, where many of the country people are strongly hostile to horseless lo comotives, recently occurred to Mrs. Hugh Gibson, wife of the American minister. While motoring near Berne, Mis. Gibson met a peasant who was driv ing a cartload of hay. The country man in addition to refusing to make room for the car to pass, lost hjis temper and struck at the machine with his whip. The lash flicked Mrs. Gibson on the face and the chaffeur jumped down and took the 1 whip from the angry peasant. A local tribunal subsequently condemn led the countryman to two day’s imprisonment.
