Warren Ker.* ' riflan In the title role, is an adaptation of this thrilling novel. ' CHAPTER XXll—Continued Blood would ha' slipped out o’ Port Royal again that same night. But that hound Bishop had passed the word, and the fort kept a sharp lookout. ’ln the end, though it took a Blood bubbled him. He •ent Me and most o’ the men off in • frigate that I bought for the voyage. His game—as he’d secretly told me —was to follow and give chase. Whether that’s the game he played or not I can’t tell ye; but here he is afore me as I’d expected he would be.” Having delivered himself of his decoction of fact and falsehood, and thereby added one more to the exploits of Peter Blood, he en quired where the Captain might be found. Being informed that he kept his ship, Wolverstone stepped Into a boat and went aboard, to report himself, as he put it. In the great cabin of the Arabella he »lound Peter Blood alone and very far gone in drink—a condition In which no man ever before re membered to have seen him. As Wolverstone came In, the Captain raised bloodshot eyes to consider him. A moment they sharpened in their gaze as he brought his visitor into focus. Then he laughed, a loose, idiotic laugh, that yet some how was half a sneer. 1 kutuifv ■i. a | 1 v Wf W w ?IE3SB • 'to Jft flUi n I «’*' “Lord, Peter! Is there never to be no end to this?” the giant growled. ■My God, Peter, wnat s this?” “Rum,” said Peter. "Rum, from Jamaica.” “I’m asking you what ails you?” he bawled. "Rum,” said Captain Blood, again, and smiled. “Jus’ rum. I answer e.U your questions. Why donjerr an swer mine? Whatcher gonerdo wi’ me?” "I'ye done it," said Wolverstone. “Thank God, ye had the sense to hold your tongue till I came. Are ye sober enough to understand me?" "Drunk or sober, alius 'derstand you." "Then listen." And out came the tale that Wolverstone had told. The Captain steadied himself to grasp it. "It’ll do as w'ell asertruth," said he. when Wolverstone had finished. "Ye’re maudlin," Wolverstone growled. “We'll talk again tomor row." They did; but to little purpose, either that day or on any day there after while the rains—which set in that night—endured. Soon the shrewd Wolverstone discovered that rum was not what ailed Blood. There was a canker eating at his heart, and the Old Wolf knew enough to make a shrewd guess of its nature. He cursed all things that daggled petticoats, and, know ing his world, waited for the sick ness to pass. But it did not pass. When Blood was not dicing or drinking in the taverns of Tortuga, keeping com pany that in his saner days he had loathed, he was shut up in his cabin aboard the Arabella, alone and uncommunicative. His friends at Government House, bewildered at this change in him. sought to reclaim him. Mademoiselle d’Og eron, particularly distressed, sent him almost daily invitations, to few of which he responded. Sometimes Blood asked himself why he had come back to Tortuga at all. He was degenerating visibly, under the eyes of all. He allowed a black beard to grow on cheeks that had ever been so carefully shaven; and the long, thick black hair, once so sedulously curled, hung now in a lank, untidy mane. Wolverstone, the only one who held the clue to this degenration, ven tured one* to beard him frankly about it. • j “Lord, Peter! Is there never to be no end to this?” the giant had growled. "Will you spend your days moping and swilling ’cause a white faced ninny in Port Royal ’ll have none o’ ye? 'Sblood and ’Quads! if ye want the wench, why the plague does not ye go and fetch her?"

There’s enough plunder in the town to tempt the lads, and there’s the wench for you. Shall I sound them on’tT” Blood was on his feet, his eyes blazing, his livid face distorted. "Ye’ll leave my cabin this minute, so ye will, or, by heaven, it’s your corpse’ll be carried out of it Y« mangy hound, d’ ye dare come to me with such proposals?” But, at last, as his buccaneers were growing desperate, something happened, brought about by the captain’s friend, M. d’Ogeron. One cunny morning the governor of Tor tuga came aboard the Arabella, ac companied by a chubby little gen tleman, amiable of countenance, amiable and self-sufficient of man ner. “My captain,” M. dOgeron deliv ered himself, "I bring you M. de Cussy, the Governor of French His paniola, who desires a word with you.” „ “You have a good force h ire un der your command, my captain,” said M. de Cussy. “Some eight hundred men. 1 understand they grow restive.” “I am speaking officially, my cap tain. There is war between France and Spain in Europe. It is the in tention of France that this war shall be carried into the New World. A fleet is coming out from Brest under the command of M. le Baron de Rivarol for that purpose. I have letters from him desiring me to equip a supplementary squadron and raise a body of not less than a thousand men to reinforce him on his arrival. What I have come to propose to you, my captain, at the suggestion of our good friend, M. d’Ogeron, is, in brief, that you en roll your ships and your force un der M. de Rivarol’s flag." "You are oirenng to taite us into the French service?” he asked. “On what terms, monsieur?” « “With the rank of Capitaine de Vaisseau for yourself and suitable •tanks for the officers serving under you. You will enjoy the pay of that ■ rank, and you will be entitled, to gether with your men, to one-tenth •share in all prizes taken ” “I will consult my officers,” said Blood. They came and the matter ■was laid before them by M. de Cus jsy himself. Yberville, the young [French filibuster, had the honor to ; point out to M. de Cussy that the share offered was too small. For cne-fifth of the prizes, the officers would answer for their men; not for less. This M. de Cussy finally conceded, and the articles were drawn up and signed that very day. The buccaneers were to be at Petit Goave by the end of January, when M. de Rivarol had announced that he might be expected. CHAPTER XXIII M. DE RIVAROL Captain Blood was in a disgrun tled mood .when he sailed from Tor tuga, and still in that mood when he came to his moorings in the bay of Petit Goave. In that same mood be greeted M. le Baron de Rivarol when this nobleman with his fleet of five men-of-war at last dropped . anchor alongside the buccaneer ships. Summoned to wait on him, Cap tain Blood repaired to the Castle of Petie Goave, where the interview was to take place. The baron, a tall, hawk-faced man of forty, very cold and distant of manner, meas ured Captain Blood with an eye of obvious disapproval. Os Hag ■ thorpe, Y’berville and Wolverstone, i who stood ranged behind their cap tain, he took no heed whatever. M. da Cussy offered Captain Blood a chair. “A moment, M. de Cussy. I do not thina M. le Baron has observed that I am not alone. Let me pre | sent to you, sir, my companions: ; Captain Hagthorpe of the Eliza beth, Captain Wolverstone of the i Atropos and Captain Yberville of the Lachesis." The baron stared hard and haughtily at Captain Blood. His i manner implied plainly that he de spised them, and that he desired j them at once to understand it. It i had a curious effect upon Captain ; Blood. It awoke the devil in him, j and it awoke, at the same time, his self respect, which of late had been slumbering. A sudden shame of ' his disordered, ill kempt appear ance made him perhaps the more I defiant. He waved his captains to . the chairs that stood about. “Draw up to the table, lads. We are keeping the baron waiting." They' obeyed him, Wolverstone > with a grin that was full of under standing. Haughtier grew the stare of M. de Rivarol. He dhd the | only thing remaining to mark a dis tinction between himself and them. He put on his hat. • “Ye’re very wise now," said Blood amiably. “I feel the draught ; myself.” And he covered himself with his plumed castor. “Shall we I come to business?” I - (Continued in our next issue). $5,000 TO LOAN On Americus Residence Property Phone 830 • ELLJS MRS.

WEAK AND NERVOUS Georgia Lady Says She Has Grown Stronger by Taking Cardui Thoroughly Con vinced of Its Merits. Clyattville, Ga.—ln a statement which she gave at her home on R. F. D. 1, here, Mrs. T. A. Copeland said: “I have, I believe, avoided a good deal of suffering by the use of Cardui, and am thoroughly convinced that it has been of great benefit to me. “Before the birth of two of my children, I grew so weak and nervous I could hardly go, and suffered . . . I had a friend who told me of Cardui, so the next time when I grew sc weak and run-down I began to use it. I used it three months. I grew stronger and less nervous. The baby was stronger and a better baby, and I really believe it was because I built up my strength with this splendid tonic.” \ Cardui has been in successful use for more than forty years. Thousands of women have written to tell of the beneficial results obtained by taking Cardui, and to recommend it to others. It is a mild, harmless, purely vege table medicinal preparation— a prod uct of practical experience, scientific investigation and pharmaceutical skill. Sold everywhere.
