Is an adaptation of thia thrillinn novel. CHAPTER XVlll—Continued I “Nor will that serve you," Ogle warned him, "still more fiercely. “The men are of my thinking, and they’ll have their way." "You come to give advice, then, do you?" quoth Blood, relenting nothing of his sterness. "That’s it, Captain; advice. That girl, there.”*He flung out a bare arm to point to her. “Bishop’s girl; the Governor of Jamaica's niece . . . We want her as a hostage for our safety.” “Aye!” roared in chorus the buccaneers below. “It’s a providence having her aboard; a providence. Heave to, Captain, and signal them to send a boat, and assure themselves that Miss is here. Then let them know that if they attempt to hinder our sailing hence, we’ll hang the doxy first and fight for it after. That’ll cool Colonal Bishop's heat, maybe.’’ “And maybe it won't.” Slow and mocking came Wolverstone's voice to answer the other’s confident ex Citement, and as be spoke he ad vanced to Blood's side, an unex pc ted ally. “If ye're counting on pulling Bishsp's heartstrings, ye're a bigger fool, Ogle, than I've al ways thought you was. We've got to fight, my lads . . .” “How can we fight, man?’’ Ogle stormed at him. Then louder than before roared a gun away to leeward. “They are within range,” cried Ogle. • “Wait!” Blood bade him, inter rupting, and he sot a restraining f W Z 7 Zz; t '* \i-' ’ 4fw*?-t\ -■ k ' jF.j-J?

Put the helm down,” he bade Pitt. “Heave her to. and signal to them to send a boat.” A silence of astonishment fell upon the shin —of astonishment nnd wnsnicion ar. this sudden yield ing. Captain Blood turned and beckoned Lord Julian forward Briefly and clearly he announced to all the object of Lord Julian’s ■voyage to the Caribbean, and he Informed them of the offer which yesterday Lord Julian had made to him. “That offer I rejected. But now, outsailed, and likely to bo out fought. as Ogle has said, I am ready to take the way of Morgan: to accept the King’s commission and shelter us all behind it.” The main body of them wel comed the announcement as only men who have been preparing to die can welcome a new lease of life. “No man need follow me into the King's service who is reluctant.” Blood went on. “That is not in the bargain. What is in the bargain Is that I accent this service with such of you as may choose to fol low me. And even those of you ■who do not choose to follow me shall share the immunity of all. and shall afterwards be free to depart. Those are the terms upon which I sell myself to the King I.et Lord Julian, the representative of the Secretary of State, say whether he agrees to them.” Prompt, eager, and clear came his lordship’s agreement. Mean while the bo’sun signalled to the Jamaica ships to send a boat, and the men in the waist broke their ranks and went noisily flocking to line the bulwarks and view the great stately vessels that were ■racing down toward them. As Ogle left the quarter-deck. Blood turned, and came face to face with Miss Bishop. She set a hand light ly upon his arm. "You have chosen wisely, sir,” she commended him, "however much against your Inclinations." "I owed it to you—or thought I did,” he said. "Your resolve delivered me from a horrible danger," she admitted “But I do not understand why yon should have hesitated when first TEA ROOM V' SATURDAY NIGHT Fried Chicken With Hot Rolle MI. ORDERS TAKEN FOR HLJU&. Fruit Cakes ft was proposed to you. It Is ail honorable service.” “King James’s?” he sneered. “England's,” ehe corrected him in reproof. “The country U all, sir; the sovereign naught. King James will pass; others will come and pass; England remains, to be honorably served by her sons, whatever rancour they mny hold against the man who rules her in their time.” “Shrewd advocacy," he approved it. “You should have spoken to the crew. Do you suppose now that this honorable service might redeem one who was a pirate and a thief?" “If he . . , needs redeeming. Perhaps ... he has been judged tco harshly.” “Why . . . if ye think that," he said, considering her, an odd hunger in his glance, “life might have its uses, after all, and even the service of King James might become tolerable If you will go below, and get your gear and yonr woman, you shall presently be sent aboard one of the ships of the fleet.” • She left him, and thereafter, with Wolverslone, leaning upon tne rail, he watched the approach cf that boat, manned hy a do?,en sailors, and commando! by a scarlet fig ure seated stiffly in the stern sheets. The deputy proved to be an officer named Calverley. His air. as he stepped into the waist of the Arabella, was haughty, truculent, and disdainful. Blood, the King’s commission now in his pocket, and Lord Julian standing beside him, waited to re ceive him. and Captain Calverley was a little taken aback at finding himself confronted by two men so very different outwardly from any thing that he had expected. “Good-day to you, sir,” Blood hailed him pleasantly “I have the honor to give you welcome aboard the Arabella. My name is Blood —Captain Blood, at your service. You may have heard of me.” “It’s your surrender i require, my man, not you, ■ ’ence,” Calverley deman .!>■■ aptain Blood appeared sir -I’ned. He turned in appeal to .>rl Julian. ”D’ ye hear that now Aud did ye ever hear the like? But what did I tell ye? Ye see the young gentleman’s under a misapprehen sion entirely. Perhaps it’ll save broken bones if your lordship ex-' plaint just who and what I am.” “I have the honor tn inform you, sir,” he said sti't’v “'lmi Captain Blood h'i'ds a in the King’s wrv'w seal of my Lord S::r-'- Majesty's Secretary of S • “And who th- . be?” “You're not » .. -ir as I have already n My name is Wade —Lord JuWade I am His Majesty’s envoy to these bar barous parts, and my Ix>rd Sunder land’s • near kinsman. Colonel bishop has been notified of my homing." “I ... I believe that be has.” said Calverley, between doubt and suspicion. “That is: that he has bien notified of the coming of Lord Julian Wade. But . . . but . . . aboard this ship . . .? “It Captain Blood will show you his commission, perhaps that will set all doubts at. rest,” concluded his Lordship. Captain Blood thrust a parch ment under Calverley's bulging eyes. “I must return to Colonel Bishop for my orders,” he informed them. At that moment a lane was opened in the ranks of the men, and through this came Miss Bishop, followed by her octoroon woman. Over his shoulder Captain Blood observed her approach. “Perhaps, since Colonel Bishop Is with you, you will convey his niece to him. Miss Bishop was aboard the Royal Mary, and I rescued her, together with his lordship. She will be able to acquaint her nncle v;ith the details of that and of the present state of affairs.” - “As for me,” said Lord Julian, with Intent to make Miss Bishop’s departure free from all interfer ence on the part of the buccaneers, “1 shall remain aboard the Arabella until we reach Port Poyal. My compliments to Colonel Bishop. Say that I look forward to making his acquaintance there." CHAPTER XIX HOSTILITIES In the great harbor of Port Royal the Arabella rode at anchor. Al most she had the air of a prisoner, for a quarter of a mile ahead, to starboard, rose the lofty, massive s’ngle round tower of the fort,, whilst a couple of cables’ length: astern, and to larboard, rode the: six men-of-war that composed the Jamaica squadron. On a cane day-bed that had been set for him on the quarterdeck, sheltered from the danling, blister ing sunshine by an improvised awn ing of brown sailcloth, lounged Pe ter Blood.

The new portion of the present structure, the eastern side of the building, will be retained and turn ed into an apartment house and over flow section for the hotel, Mr. Young plans to make of the hotel he and h : s associates are planning to give Albany one of the finest in the South. It will be as modern, as complete, as comforta ble and as fine as money and science can make it. It will of course l e equipped with eleva ;.>rj. tiephones in each room, tub and iiowcr baths, and every other convenience ordi narily found in a modern hotel. The Albany Hotel Company, which is to build the new struc ture, is a corporation composed of the Young and Baldwin families, of Albany. They have been iden tified with the hotel industry in Albany for years, having made the New Albany Hotel for many years one of the state’s leading commer cial hdtels. Their experience is expected to make them admirably equipped in rendering even better service in their new and more mod ern quarters. Business men and others who have discussed the new hotel and Mr. Young’s plan declared that it is a fine thing for Albany that there is room for such a hotel here, even with, another one now under con struction, and that Albany realiy needs it. It is impossible now to hold a convention of more than 100 people in Albany without crowding the hotel facilities. The increase in hotel facilities will mean that more people will com’ to Albany—people who have not been comirfg in the past, for the ireason that they were uncertain about accommodations. In addition tohis ambitious plans for South Georgia’s finest h .tel, Mr. Young and his associates also have in mind erectin ga modern of fice building at the corner of Pine street and Court avenue, on that portion of the lot where the newer section of the hotel now stands.
