Warren Ker-* rigan In the title role, is an adaptation of this thrilling novel. CHAPTER XXVlll—Continued “You are do longer that,” she •aid, and strove t?, smile. “Yet I owe no thanks to you that I am uC' ” he answered. “I think there's no more to be said, unless It be to add the assurance that IvOrd Julian Wade has also nothing to MJjrehend from me. That, no doubt, will be the assurance that your peace of mind requires?” “For your own sake —yes. But for your own sake only. I would not have you do anything mean or dishonouring.” “Thief and pirate though I be?” She clenched her hand, and made a little gesture o' despair and im patience. "Will you never forgive me those words?” "I'm finding it a trifle hard, I con fess. But what does it matter, when all Is said'.*’ Her clear hazel eyes considered him a moment wistfully. Then cite put out her hand again. “I a«i agoing, Captain Blood. Since you are so generous to r.iy i uncle, I shall be returning to liar- 1 bados with him. We are not like to meet again—ever, is it impos sible that we should part friends? Wrye I wronged you, I know. And ■ I have said that I am sorry. Won’t I you . . . won’t you say ’good-bye’?”: He took the hand she proffered. I Retaining it, he spoke, his eyes | sombrely, wistfully considering her. ’ "You are returning to Barba- I I "And you?

"Why do you ask me that?” she confronted him quite fearlessly. “Sure, now, didn’t he give you my message, or did he bungle it?” "No. He didn’t bungle it He gave it me in your own words. It touched me very deeply. It made me see clearly my error and my in justice. • 1 owe it to you that 1 shonid say this byway of amend. 1 judged too harshly where it was a presumption to judge at all.” He was still holding her hand. “And Lord Julian, then?” he asked, his eyes watching her, bright a» sapphires In the copper-coloured face. “Lord Julian will no doubt be going home to England. There is nothing more for him to do out here." "But didn’t he ask you to go with him?" “He did. I forgive you the imper tinence.” A wild hope leapt to life within him. "And you? Glory be, ye'll not be telling me ye refused to become my lady, when . . “Oh! You are insufferable!" She tore her hand free and backed away from him. "I should not have come . . . Good-bye!” She was speeding to the door. Ke sprang after her, and caught her. Her face flamed, and her eyes stabbed him like daggers. "These are pirate’s ways, I think! Release me!’ "Arabella!" he cried on a note of pleading. "Are ye meaning it? Jfkist I release ye? Must I let ye go and never set eyes on ye again? Or will ye stay and make this exile endurable until we can go home together? Ooh. ye're crying now! What have I said to make ye cry, my dear?" "I ... I thought you'd never say it," she mocked him through her tear* «“There was never, never anybody but you, Peter." Governor Blood forgot the duties of his office. He had reached home at last His odyssey was ended.

Ho ’ had reached home at last His ’ odyssey was ended. And meanwhile Colonel Bis) cp’s ’ fleet had come to anchor, and the ’ ’ Colonel had landed on the mole, a 1 disgruntled man to be disgruntled further yet. He was accompanied L ashore by I-ord Julian Wade. ' A corporal’s guard was drawn tip to receive him, and in advance of this stood Major Mallard and two others who were unknown to the Deputy-Governor: one slight and elegant, the other big and brawny. Major Mallard advanced. “Colo nel Bishop, I have orders to arrest you. Your sword, sir!” » Bishop stared, empurling. “What 1 the devil? Arrest me, d’ye say? Arrest me?” “By order of the Governor of Ja maica," said the elegant little man behind Major Mallard. Bishop swung to him. "The Governor? You're mad!” : Be looked from one to the other. ’ I am the Governor.” “You were,” said the little man dryly. "But we’ve changed that :in your absence. You’re broke for * abandoning your post without due i cause and therefore imperiling the > settlement over which you Lad | charge. It’s a serious matter, Coto jnel Bishop, as you may find. Con sidering that you held your cilice from the Government of King James, it is even possible that a charge of treason may lie against you. It rests with your successor entirely whether ye’re hanged or not.” Bishop rapped out an oath, and then, shaken by a sudden fear: “Who the devil may you be?” he asked. “I am Lord Willoughby, Gover nor-General of His Majesty’s Colo jnies in the West Indies. You were Unformed, I think, of my coming.” The remains of Bishop’s anger fell from him like a cloak. He 1 broke into a sweat of fear. Be hind him Lord Julian looked on, his handsome face suddenly white and drawn. » “But, my Lord —" began the Colo nel. "Sir, I am not concerned to hear your reasons," his Lordship inter rupted harshly. “I am on the point of sailing and I have not the time. The Governor will hear you and no doubt deal justly by you." He waved to Major Mallard, and Bish op, a crumpled, broken man, allow ed himself to be led away. To Lord Julian, who went with jhim, since none deterred him, Bish- Iqp expressed himself when pres- I ently he had sufficiently recov ered. “This is one more item to the ac count of that scoundrel Blood," he said through his teeth. “My God, what a reckoning there will be when we meet!” • Major Mallard turned away his face that he might conceal his smile, and without further words , led him a prisoner to the Gover nor’s house that so long had been Colonel Bishop’s own residence. He was left to wait under guard in , the hall, whilst Major Mallard went I ahead to announce him. Miss Bishop was still with Peter > Blood when Major Mallard entered, j His announcement startled them t back to realities. “You will be merciful with him. j You will spare him all you can tor my sake, Peter," she pleaded. "To be sure I will,” said Blood, "but I'm afraid the circumstances j won't.” She effaced herself, escaping into e the garden and Major Mallard B fetched the Colonel. “His Excellency, the Governor. B will see you now,” said he, and j. threw wide the door. B Colonel Bishop staggered in and ? stood waiting. « At the table sat a man of whom t nothing was visible but the top of B a carefully curled, black head. B Then this head was raised, and a e pair of blue eyes solemnly regard ed the prisoner. Colonel Bishop f made a noise in his throat, and, 1 stared into the face of His Excel e lency, the Deputy-Governor of Ja v maica, which was the face of the 0 man he had been hunting in Tor e tuga to his present undoing. ; The situation was best expressed to Lord Willoughby by Van der Kuylen as the pair stepped aboard y the Admiral's flagship. * r "Id is fery boedigal!” he said, r his bine eyes twinkling, “Cabdain Blood is fond of boedry—you re -15 member de abble blossoms.

STEWART NEA Service Writer Perhaps tne world’s best fighters, disunion has Kept the Mohammedans weak for centuries. In the last few years they have shown signs of returning strength. They might have recovered it under Kemal Pasha if he had been a re ligious enthusiast. He was not. Kemal staged Turkey’s comeback. The sultan was the Mohamme dan’s religion sleader. When Kem al threw him out as sultan, he thiew him out as a religious lender, i too. In making Turkey a republic, 1 Kemal provided for its government, I but he left Mohammedanism head- | less, as a religion. • * ♦ Hussein Ibn Ali This just suited England. England controlled the Red Sea strip of coast called the i -djaz, of which Hussein Ibn A!i claimed to be king. The English idea was to back Hussein and make hi. ■ b.i ■ Moham inedans’ religious leader ' iso. As the Mohammedans’ religious lender .‘he figured he would have great in fluence with Moslems everywhere. England has many Moslem sub jects and there are ma : more she likes to keep under he;- sway. Through Hussein she c aid *3 it, she believed. * * » The Sultan of Nejd It worked pretty well for a while. Then Ibn Saoud appeared. He W".- a Bedouin chief r.in known a l '. Sultan of Nejd. He h d a rag tag army, not very strong, but he was a fanatical Moslem and so were all his men. Mohammedans are eas; to “en thuse.” They swarmed td Ibn’s banner. He declared war on Hus sein and beat him in every f’gbt) Now he has taken Mecca, the Mos lems’ “holy city,” chased Hussein off the throne and proclaimed him self religious leader of all Islam. If this mean a Mohammedan re vival—as it may—trouble’s in sight for the whole world. There are more Mohammedans than Protestant Christians, on earth. Election With election less than two weeks off the presidential campaign still is far tamer than many less impor tant campaigns have been . The people seem interested, judging from the way they’ve registered, but there are no fir< works. If neither Coolidge, Davis nor La Fol lette gets a clean-cut majority, how ever, it’s safe to count on excite ment enough when the fight gets into the electoral college, and prob ably into Congress a little later on. * * * In England The English campaign started as a triangular contest, too—Conserv atives, Liberals and Laborites. But Conservatives and Liberals seem to be clubbing together against the Labor- party. It’s much such a campaign as the American one would be if the con servative Republicans and Demo crats combined against the Pro gressives, including the middle-of the-roaders and the progressive elements from both old-line groups, CONCORD MUSIC CLUB HOLDS INTERESTING MEET Concord Music Club met Sunday afternoon at the school auditoi’um and had a most interesting and en joyable session.

Alto, Texas.—“We inherited the use of Black-Draught in our family,” says Mrs. Mary Shuptrine, who lives near here on R. F. D. 2. “My grandmother was an old woman when she died about ten years ago, and she had been using it literally ever since I can re member. She gave it to her children and grandchildren for biliousness and stomach complaints, so when I went to housekeeping we just naturally used it, too. "I give it to my children for a purgative whenever they need one, and we are never without it. Made into tea, it surely is fine. It’s the best home remedy for headache and consti pation I know of.” During over 80 years of its con tinued popularity, Black-Draught has become the standard liver medicine in many thousands of homes, where it lias been found of j"eat benefit in the treatment of constipation, biliousness, indigestion and other common liver, stomach and bowel complaints. Ten million packages of Black-Draught are now sold a year, as more and more people are learning of the value of this well-known remedy. Insist on Thedford's, the only genu ine Black-Draught powdered live: medicine. At all dealers’.
