CHAPTER XXIII. Continued.
Ho ordered tho cnbln-man to bring
his breakfast on deck, and a cloth was
laid upon tho skylight. Whllo ho was
eating Laura camo out of tho cabin
and stood opposite to him. Sho was
as palo as n dead body, and her beauty
hnd that sort of droop and lusterless
ness which you observe In tho plum
ago of glorious birds wnen they
sicken.
"Havo you breakfasted?'! said he.
"I cannot eat," Hho answered. "Oh,
cousin, why did you kill him?"
Ho stared at her in sllenco with a
dark frown, chewing his food llko a
ruminating bull. Sho was afraid of
his gazo and said with a chn'ngo of
volco and oven of manner:
"Now that I am under your protec
tion you will tell mo what you mean
to do."
"Yes," ho answered, "I will toll
you. When tho brig is clear ot thoso
villains," says ho, with a sldoway
drop of his head, "I will steer you to
your father's house. Wo aro now
lying a straight course for Kingston,
Jamaica. You shall bo sent ashore
with a, communication from mo to
your father, who will como on board.
If ho refuses to help mo I shall know
how to manage single-handed. Mean
while you will bo safe, but I shan't ex
poet you to thnnk me."
Tho captain's servant camo, from
tho cabin to attend to Crystal's wants.
Ho said to him:
"Make a neat Job of tho corpse, nnd
take caro to double shot It; wo'll bury
him through tho cabin window, you
and mo alone."
By this time tho armed seamen of
como up. Their Bcowls, their deep
hoarso mutterlngs, their murderous
glances wero of no use: they needed
but to look nt Crystal to read death,
pitiless and Instant, in his face.
"Cast ofT, up sail, and away with
ye!" roared Crystal. "If you'ro not
astern of us In a mlnuto I'll flro into
you and sink you alongside."
Thoso of tho men who had their
senses hoisted tho big lug. Grlndal in
tho Bternsheets grasped tho tiller. Tho
water slopped greasily betwixt tho
two craft, and tho long-boat which,
though doeply laden, still showed a
fair height of side, glided off, blow
Blowly on to tho brig's quarter, then
astern, a number ot her peoplo shak
ing their clenched fists at Crystal, and
howling oaths and curses at him In
ecstasies of helpless wrath.
"So amen to them," said Crystal.
And after casting another look at tho
boat, and sweeping tho horizon with
his vision, he bado tho follow who
had read tho newspapor on tho cap
stan to keep a lookout, and heavily
sank down the companion-steps.
JuBt as ho entered tho cabin, Pope a
servant came out of his lato master's
berth.
"Havo you stitched him up?" says
Crystal.
"Ho's ready for launching, sir," was
tho man's answer.
The fellow knowing Crystal and
fearing him had worked nimbly, and
there, secreted in a hammock, on the
floor of tho berth, with a couplo of
shot secured In the clews at tho foot
of the corpso, lay all that was mortal
of tho heroic Irishman, Captain Rich

tho Thetis nnd the men who had Joined
them from tho body of tho pirates had
eaten their breakfast, and woro
smoking tholr pipes nbout the little
caboose. When they had made an
end and returned to thejr stations,
Crystal began to sing out. The long
boat was to bo got over and provision
ed and watered, Bho would accommo
date all that wero to go in her.
Soon tho boat was swayed out and
lowered; tho brig lying hove-to. Casks
of bread, a quantity of cheese, and
other matters along with plenty of
water were put into her; tho mast
was stepped, tho big lug made ready
for hoisting, tho rudder shipped. The
hatch cover was then lifted, tho arm
ed men stood round, and Crystal, put
ting his foot on tho coaming, shouted
down:
"Below thero! Up with you, all
hands; but two of you at a time."
When this was said Grindal and
threo or four pirates, all of whom
were in liquor, camo and stood in tho
light under tho hatch, and the boat
swain called up, "What aro you going
to do with us?"
"Tho long-boats's ready for you
alongside," answered Crystal,
"Are wo to be sent adrift?" said tho
ugly ruffian.
"If," roared Crystal, "you glvo mo
tho least bit of troublo " and hero
again ho sworo dreadfully "I'll sweep
tho 'tween-decks with theso guns; I'll
butcher every mother's son of ye."
Then spoke tho true pirate; it was
no longer Captain Pope, but tho devil
Incarnate, and his own men stared a
little wildly at tho figure of that sav
age seamen with his Bear, and his
frown, and his faco of fury, and his
cocked and leveled pistol.
"Como along!" said Grindal, and ho
and another camo up tho ladder.
"Into tho boat with ye!" shouted
Crystal.
A couplo ot tho armed seamen
sprang to guard tho gangway. Grln
dal's companion dropped into tho boat;
tho boatswain turning and swinging
off on his great hairy hand, with which
ho had grasped tho bulwark rail to
say: "Ain't you going to let us havo
our share ot tho booty?"
"If you ask mo another question,
you are a dead man," answered
Crystal and ho approached him by a
stride or two and again covered him,
and all who looked expected to seo
tho weapon spout fire, and tho man
drop.
Drop ho did, but Into tho boat, verx
much alive, as might be gathored by
his curses. .
In this -way tho plratos woro got up
but of thoso 'tween-decks always in
twos, and ono pair had to disappear
beforo the next brace were alldwed to
"No
"I want no fuss," says Crystal
prayer. Nothing of that sort."
Tho stern window was opened, that
windqw through which a former own
er of this brig of curious adventures
had thrown himself into tho sea to es
cape tho gibbet.
"Pick him up with me," continued
Crystal.
They lifted the body, bore it to tho
window, nnd, pointing it feet foremost,
dispatched it to tho ooze.
Thus inglorlously terminated tho ca
reer of Captain Pope. An Irishman of
a hundred crimes, of many villainous
qualities, of many generous and ro
mantic virtues.
Now it so happened that when tho
frigate that had chased the Gypsy re
turned to tho'two vessels sho was con
voying cho fell in shortly afterward
with his Majesty's ten gun brig Turk.
Tho vessels wero brought to a stand
nnd a lieutenant of tho Turk in re
sponse to signals went on board tho
frigate: he was then told that a
plrato brig named tho Gypsy was in
thoso waters and that she had been
on tho lookout for the Madre do Dlos;
having missed her, it was presumed
that sho would proceed to the pirates'
happy hunting ground In tho Spanish
Main. As tho Turk was bound for a
West Indian Station sho was re
quested to keep a sharp lookout for
the brig, to ascertain from passing
ships If anything resembling her had
been sighted by them, and to com
municate to other men-of-war tho
news of such a ship being in those
seas.
Four days later tho Turk spoko
H.M.S. corvette Saxon, To her sho
gavo tho news sho had received from
tho frigate, and from tho instant of
tho Saxon filling upon her main-topsail
a bright lookout was kept aboard
of her for any floating fnbric rigged
with two masts, and carrying square
sails oven to the height of skysail
poles.
This communication of men-of-war
was to prove Crystal's doom. Hdw
could it have been otherwise? A ten
gun brig had gone beforo tho Gypsy
and waB heralding her: to tho pres
sure ot shining heights she was scour
ing tho plain llko another Camilla,
bugling her alarms over the soa, and
Crystal ambled In hor wake without
intellect enough to suppose that tho
news and character of his brig had
passed ahead of his flying Jlbboomi
In tho onsuing days they sighted sev
eral sail, one of which was a large
full-rlggsd ship that might havo
proved tho Alnwick Castle, but she
was hull down, and showed only from
tho tacks of her coursos, and curios
ity was no longer a passion in that
brig. Then camo tho fourth morpJng,
nnd ono bell, which is half nn hour
after eight o'clock In tho forenoon
watch, found Laura and hor coualn
sitting at tho cabin tablo at breakfast,
whllo the man who could road stumped
tho planks of tho quarter-deck in
charge of tho llttlo fabric.
After breakfast, Crystal lighted his
plpo, took Pope's telescope from itP
brackets in tho cabin, and went on
deck. His oyo -was immediately taken
by tho marble brightness of tho sails
of a ship about two points on tho lco
bow. Crystal pointed his glass at the
Bhlp on tho lee-bow: ho was an old
Bailor and could not mistake; by her
hoist of topsail, by tho squareness of
her yards, by tho fit of tho clews to
the yard-arms, ho knew her at onco
In tho lenses to bo a British man-of-war.
Ho was disconcerted; he turned a
shado pale; tho glass sank with his
hand, ho turned to tho man xiho was
keeping a lookout and Bald, "Sho
looks to mo llko a British frigate or
corvette."
"If that's so," answered tho man,
"hadn't wo better up helium whllo
time's allowed us?"
"If I shift my holm," said Crystal,
after pondering, "I may provoke sus
picion. Sho may bo from tho West
Indies or a South American port.
How'll sho havo got tho news to en
ablo her to guess at us? No," said ho
in a tono of decision, "hoist tho En
glish ensign. Wo'll not stir from our
course by a Bpoko. We look, and now
are, an honest English brig, and she's
got no excuse to stop us and overhaul
us. D'yo seo that now? Stand by to
dip as wo pass; that tickles 'em."
Crystal had made a fatal blunder; jj
uiil jiu mu uui miuw iu juii uuw
thero was no time to put a change of
opinion into practice, oven had his
heart misgiven him. The man-of-war
was coming along handsomely with a
frequent curtsoy that lined her glossy
black sides with tho sifted snow of
tho crushed brine, over which in a
grim line bristled her artillery, torn
plons out, as Crystal, with a' ghastly
sinking sensation of soul at this mo
ment, managed to sec.
When tho two vessels wero within
gunshot, tho. corvette shook tho wind
out of hex. canvas, her way was ar
rested. A stout, conspicuous figure
stood upon a quarter-deck gun; ho
grasped a speaking-trumpet. As tho
Gypsy went floating past, without tho
least shift of helm, tho commander of
the corvette, if indeed that figure com
manded her, raised tho trumpet to his
lips; and whllo his proud ship's helm
was acain nut down, causing the
spaces om milky softness aloft to
tremble Into a hundred hurrying fing
ers of shadow, tho trumpet spoke, in
a note of thunder:
"Ho, tho Gypsy, ahoy! Back your
maln-topsnll that I may send a boat
aboard of you!"
'Twas plain ho had tho vessol's
name pat; nor was it possible as yet
that ho could have rend it upon her
stern!
"We havo been reported," Crystal
Instantly thought, and ho knew ho was
a lost man.
"They'll be firing Into us if we don't
heave to," said the fellow who had
charge.
Crystal stood irresolute with his
hand upon the companion-hood. At
this instnnt, a shot was fired by tho
corvette.
"What shall wo do, sir?" roared the
men.
Then, finding that Crystal had dis
appeared, they sprang to tho main
topsail brace, and were in tho act of
rounding In upon It hand over hand,
when a second heavy shot, followed by
a third, struck tho maln-topsall, crash!
a foot abovo tho main-masthead. In
stantly, tho wholo fabric of yards, and
canvas, and masts, and stunsall-Dooms,
fluctuating on high as though gazed at
through tho transparency of running
water, fell aft In a roar as though a
gale of wind camo sweeping from tho
bows. Tho huge wreck missed tho
wheel, but killed tho fellow who was
standing at It. It smothered tho
quarter-deck In a vast heap of canvas
and spars. A long space of bulwarks
wa3 crushed flat.
"Back your fore-topsail!" was roared
through tho trumpet.
This was promptly done by tho
wretched and terrified remnant of tho
crew of tho pirate, and in a few min
utes a boatful or armed seamen, in
charge of a lieutenant, arrived along
side. It was of course known that tho
Gypsy was tho pirate brig that was
wanted; no need to ask any questions.
Her crow wero at once ordered over
tho sldo, and sent on board tho Saxon.
Meanwhile, a gang of naval seamen
cleared tho quarter-deck so as to pro
vide access to tho cabin, and tho lieu
tenant and two or three seamen de
scended tho steps. They found a
beautiful young woman, white and
large-eyed with horror, standing at tho
table. When tho men entered, sho
pointed dumbly to tho cabin occupied
by Crystal, and they saw a man lying
on the deck, dead, with a pistol be
side him, and a bullet wound In his
brow.
He had kept his word, and the nn
nals of tho Crystals were not to bo
disgraced by tho importation of tho
gibbet,
The girl told her story to tho lieu
tenant, who sent her on board tho cor
vette. And within two hours of tho
Saxon falling in with the Gypsy, both
vessels, the brig with nothing set aft
but trysail and mainsail, wero head
ing north and east on a cquise for tho
English Channel. The End.

Has He Found' It7
Polk, Ark., Nov. 9. A remedy that
will absolutely curo Rheumatism has
been discovered by Mr. Georgo Hiland
of this place. Mr. Hiland is satisfied
that the remedy bo has used is a suro
cure, for it cured Tilm of a very seri
ous caso of Acutq Rheumatism when
he was so bad that ho could not move.
This is what he says:
"I was troubled with what Is called
Acute Rheumatism in 1900. I was in
such shapo that I could not move with
out help. I was treated by a physician,
who helped me some, but I was still in
great pain when my wlfo saw Dodd's
Kidney Pills advertised as a curo for
Rheumatism. Sho insisted on my try
ing them, and I felt better after taking
the first box. I continued and now I
am well and nble to work all tho tlmo.
I have found Dodd's Kidney Pills to bo
Just what they aro claimed to bo, a
perfect cure for Rheumatism."
Mr. inland's very positive statement
r.cems to settle all doubt as to whether
or not Rheumatism can bo cured.
