Oh!” she turned away, and through the slender, cluster ,ing trunks of the bordering orange itrees sha looked out across the glittering waters of the great har bor to the distant hills. Thus for a little while, my lord standing stiffly, fearfully, waiting for fuller revelation of her mind. At last it came, slowly, deliberately, in a voice that at moments was half suffocated. “What weighs—oh, so heavily and bitterly—is the thought that but for the words in which yesterday I repelled him, he might have been saved. And now he is lost —back at his outlawry and piracy, in which ultimately he will be taken and destroyed. And the fault is mine-—mine!” “You have no cause for shame,” said he. "As for your sorrow— why, if it will afford you solace— you may still count on me to do what man can to rescue him from this position.” "You will do that!” she cried with sudden eager hopefulness. "You promise?” “I promise,” he answered her. And then, retaining still the hand she bad surrendered to him—“ Ar abella.” he said very gently, "there is still this other matter upon which you have not answered me. This matter that concerns myself, and all my future, oh, so very close ly. This thing that Blood believed, that prompted him . . . that . . . that you are not indiffer ent to me.” He saw the fair face *~W-' ydiffii J -•>.? 22" nW V« n® ■-; 11 “Then with Blood dead, perhaps she will come to her senses.” change color and grow troubled once more. "Indifferent to you?” said she. “Why, no. We have been good friend' • ve shall continue so, 1 hope, my lord." “Friends! Good friends?” He ■was between dismay and bitter ness. “It is not your friendship only that I ask. Arabella. You heard what I said, what ' reported. You will not say that 'eter Blood was wrong?” Gently she sought to disengage her hand, the trouble in her face Increasing. A moment he resisted; then, realizing what he did, he set her free. ' "Arabella!” he cried on a note of sudden pain. , "I have friendship for you, my 'lord. But only friendship.” “Is it. Peter Blood?” “Peter Blood?” she echoed. "I do not know,” she said, faltering a little. When the Jamaica fleet put to sea some few days later, Lord Julian sailed wi.h Colonel Bishop in Vice-Admiral Craufurd's flag ship. The}- cruised awhile off His paniola, watching the Windward Passage, but they cruised in vain, and, after a month of it, returned empty-handed to Port Royal, there to find awaiting them the most dis quieting news from the Old World. The megalomania of Louis XIV had set Europe in a blaze of war. The French legionaries were ravaging the Rhine provinces, and Spain had joined the nations leagued to defend themselves from the wild ambitions of the King of France. And there was worse than this: there were rumors of civil war in England, where the people had grown weary of the bigoted tyranny of King James. It was reported that William of Orange had been invited to come over. Weeks passed, and every ship from home brought additional news. William had crossed to England, and in March of that year 1689 they learnt in Jamaica that he had accepted the crown and James had thrown himself into the arms of France for rehabilitation. To a kinsman of Sunderland’s this was disquieting news, indeed. It was followed by letters from King William's Secretary of State Informing Colo»«l Bishop that there was w. * with France, and that In view of its effect upon the Colonies a Governor-General was coming out to the West Indies in the person of Lord Willoughby, and that with him came a squadron under the command of Admiral van der Kuy- FRIED CHICKEN and BAKED CHICKEN i Wednesday HOT ROLLS JEA ROOM s ~ * ------- A- 1 len to re-enforce the Jamaica fleet against eventualities. Bishop realized that this meant the end of his supreme authority, even though he should continue in Port Royal as Deputy-Governor. Lord Julian, in the lack of direct news to himself, did not know what it might mean to him. But he had been very close and confidential with Colonel Bishop regarding his hopes of Arabella, and Colonel Bishop more than ever, now that political events put him in danger of being retired, was anxious to enjoy the advantages of having a man of Lord Julian’s eminence for his relative. “There is one obstacle in our path,” said his lordship. "Captain Blood. The girl is in love with him.” "The brazen baggage! By God! I’ll bring her to her senses.” "Don’t be a fool, Bishop. Listen, man. She has a constant mind. As long as Blood lives she will wait for him.” "Then with Blood dead, perhaps she will come to her silly senses.” “Now you begin to show intelli gence,” Lord Julian commended him. “That is the first essential step.” “And here is our chance to take it.” Bishop warmed to a sort of enthusiasm. "This war with France removes all restrictions in the mat ter of Tortuga. We are free to in vest it in the service of the Crown. A victory there and we establish ourselves in the favour of this new government." "Ah!” said Lord Julian, and he pulled thoughtfully at his lip. Bishop laughed coarsely. “We’ll hunt this rascal in his lair, right under the beard of the King of France, and we’ll take him this time, if we reduce Tortuga to a heap of ashes.” On that expedition they sailed two days later—which would be some three months after Blood's departure—taking every ship of the fleet, and several lesser vessels as auxiliaries. To Arabella and the world in general it was given out that they were going to raid French Hispaniola. CHAPTER XXII THE SERVICE OF KING LOUIS Meanwhile, some three months before Colonel Bishop set oilt to reduce Tortuga, Captain Blood, bearing hell in his soul, had blown into its rock bound harbour ahead of the winter gales, and two days ahead of the frigate in which Wol verstone had sqiled from Port Roy |al a day before him. In that snug anchorage he found his fleet awaiting him — the four ships which had been separated in that gale off the Lesser Antilles, and some seven hundred men com posing their crews. His captains, Hagthorpe, Chris tian, and Yberville, were on the jetty to receive him, and with them were some hundreds of his buea j neers. When they plagued him with | questions, he bade them await the coming of Wolvestone, who would satisfy their curiosity, and took his way alone to the line house of M. d’Ogeron, there to pay his respects to his friends, the Governor and the Governor’s family. When the Old Wolf cast anchor in the bay two days later, it was to him all turned for the explana tion they were about to demand of Blood. Now Wolverstone had only one eye; but he saw a deal more with that one eye than do most men with two; and he had* the sound heart of a boy, and in that heart much love for Peter Blood. Anon when ashore he was beset by questioning buccaneers, it was from their very questions that he gathered exactly how matters stood, and perceived that either from lack of courage or other mo tive Blood, himself, had refused to I render any account of his doings i since the Arabella had separated from her sister ships. “The Captain was ever a modest man,” he explained to Hagthorpe and those others who came crowd ing round him. “It’s not his way to be sounding his own praises, j Why, it was like this. We fell in | with old Don Miguel, and when we’d scuttled him we took aboard, I a London pimp sent out by the I Secretary of State to offer the Cap i tain the King’s commission if so i be him’d quit piracy and be o’ good behaviour. The Captain damned his soul to hell for answer. And then we fell in wi' the Jamaica fleet and that grey old devil Bishop in com mand, and there was a sure end to Captain Blood and to every' mother’s son of us all. So I goes I to him, and ‘accept this poxy com-i says I; ‘turn King’s man j and save your neck and ours.’ He ; took me at my word, and the Lon- I don pimp gave him the King’s ■ commission on the spot, and Bishop all but choked hisself with rage when he was told of it. But hap pened it had. and he was forced to swallow it. We were King's men all, so into Port Royal we sailed along o’ Bishop. But Bishop didn’t I trust us. He knew too much. But for hts lordship, the fellow from ■ London, he’d ha’ hanged the Cap tain, King's commission aud all.
