WOLVES OF THE SEA
Foreword.
Anson Carlylc, aged twenty
three, the ninth In descent from
Capt. Geoffry Carlyle of Glas
gow, Scotland, was among the
herolo Canadian dead at Vlmy
ridge. Unmarried, and tho last
of hlo line, what few treasures
ho possessed fell Into alien
handc. Among these was a
manuscript, apparently written
in the year 1687, and which,
through nlno generations, had
been carefuily preserved, yet
never made public. The paper
was yellowed and discolored by
years; occasionally a page was
missing, and the writing Itself
had become almost Indecipher
able. Much Indeed had to be
traced by use of a microscope.
Tho writer was evidently a man
of some education, and clear
thought, but exceeding diffuse,
in accordance with tho style of
his time, and possessing small
conception of literary form. It
editing this manuscript for mod
ern readers I have thereforo
been compelled to practically re
wrlto It entirely, retaining mere
ly the essential facts, with an
occasional descriptive passage,
although I have conscientiously
followed the original develop
ment of the tale. In this recon
struction much qualntness of lan
guage aswell as appeal to prob
ability, may have been lost, and
for this my only excuse Is the
necessity of thus making the
story readable. I have no doubt
as to Its essential truth, nor do
I question tho purpose which
dominated this rover of the sea
In hlo effort to record the adven
tures of his younger life. As a
picture of tho6o days of blood
and courage, as well as a story
of love and devotion, I deem it
worthy preservation, regretting
only the impossibility of now
presenting It In print exactly as
written by Geoffry Carlyle.

CHAPTER .
8ent Into Servitude.
Knowlnp this to bo u narrative of
unusual ndventure, and one which may
nover even bo rend until long after I
hnvo departed from this world, when
It will be dimcult to convince readers
that nuch times as are herein depleted
could ever have been renllty, I shall
endeavor to narrate each Incident In
tho simplest manner possible. My
only purposo Is truth, and my onlv
witness history. Yet, even now lately
ns tills all happened, It Is nioro HUo
tho recollections of a dream, dimly re
meinhered at (wakening, and, per
chance, might remain so, but for the
Rears upon my body, nnd tho constant
memory of u woman's face. Theso
nlono combine to bring hack In vivid
ness tlioso days that were days of
youth nnd daring, of desperate, law
less war, of wide ocean peril, and tho
outstretched hands of love. So that
here, where I am writing It nil down,
here amid quietness nnd pence, und
forgetful of the pnst, I wander ngain
along a deserted shore, and snll among
those isles of a southern sea, tho homo
for many a century of crime and un
spenknblo cruelty. I will recall the
truth, nnd cun do no more.
It was still early morning when wo
were brought out under heavy guard
nnd mnrched somberly fortli through
tho opened gntes of tho Jail. Ahead
wo could percclvo n forest of masts,
and whnt seemed llko a vnst crowd of
waiting people. That wo had been
sentenced to exile, to prolonged servi
tude In some foreign laud, was all that
any of us knew.
Tho guards prodded tho crowd sav
agely with the butts of their mus
lcetoons, thus making sennt room for
us to shulllo through, out upon tho far
end of tho wharf, whero wo wero
linully halted abreast of n lumping
hrlg, apparently nearly ready for sea.
There were nioro thnn forty of us. 'I
gained glimpse of tho hooker's name
Romping Betsy of Plymouth. A mo
ment Inter n snllor pnssed nlong tho
edge of tho dock nnd Instnntly a whis
per pnssed swiftly from man to man.
"It's Virginia, niato; we're bound for
Virginia."
Tho eyes of n prisoner met mine.
"Virginia, hey?" he grunted, "l'e'ro
a sallormnn, nln't ye, mate? Well,
then, whar Is this yero Virginia?"
"That's all right, mates," I returned
cheerily. "We'll full Into tho hnnds
of Englishmen out there. In Ainorlcn,
whero all tho tohncco comes from.
I'vo been thero twice and to a land
beyond they call Maryland. 'TIs a
country not so unllko L'ngland."
"Yer better stow that, my man,"
growled somcono nbovo me, nnd I
looked up Into tho stern eyes of tho
cnptaln of tho guard, "or It may ho

"I nni twenty-six."
"Yo don't look even thet. Ay,
they're reudy for yo now. Fall In

d d rebel scum."
I stared aft at tho poop deck. Thero
wero a number of persons gathered
nlong the. low mil, probably all passen
gers. Then my eyes encountered a
nlraugo group foregathered beside tho
lee rail,
Thero wero four In tho little party,
one of them u negress. Another was
clearly enough a colonial proprietor,
u heavily built man of middle age,
purplo faced. I passed these by with
a glance, my attention concentrating
upon tho other two a middle-aged
man und a young womu stand
ing side by side. Tho former was n
dashing looking blade, of not more
than forty, nttlrcd In bluo slushed
coat, ornamented with gilt buttons,
nnd bedecked nt collar nnd cuffs with
a profusion of luce. A saffron colored
wnlstcont fulled to concent bis richly
beruflled shirt, and tho hilt of a rapier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such dandles wero frequently enough
seen, but It was this man's fnco which
made mnrked contrast with his gay
attire. Ho was dark and hook-nosed,
apparently of foreign birth, with black
mustache tightly clipped, so as to re
veal the thin firmness of his lips, nnd
even nt that distance I could perceive
tho lines of n scar across his chin. Al
together thero was an audacity to his
face, a dnrlng, convincing me ho was
no mere Indy's knight but ono to whom
fighting was a trade. Ho was pointing
us out to his companion, npporently
Joking over our nppcarnnce, In nn on
denvor to nmusc. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although
her eyes followed whero ho pointed
they never once lighted with a smile,
nor did I seo her answer his sallies.
Slio wns scarcely moro than a girl,
dressed very simply In some clinging
dark stuff, with u loose gray cloak
draping her shoulders nnd n small,
neat bonmtt of straw perched upon a
mnss of colled hair. Tho face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with dark eyes
and rounded cheeks flushed with
health. Sho stood, both hands clasping
tho rail, watching us Intently. I
somehow felt ns though her eyes were
upon mo, nnd within their depths, even
at that distance, I seemed to rend n
message of sympathy nnd kindness.
Tho ono lasting Impression her fnco
left on my memory was that of Inno
cent girlhood, dignified by a womnnly
tenderness.
Whnt wero those two to ench other?
I could not guess, for they seemed
from two utterly different worlds. Not
What Were Those Two to Each Other?
brother nnd sister surely; and not
lovers. Tho Inst wns unthinkable.
Instinctively I disliked tho man, nuaro
of an Instnnt antagonism, realizing
thnt ho wns evil; whllo his companion
came to me as rovealment of all that
was true and worthy, In n degree I had
nover known before. From tho Instant
I looked upon theso two I felt con
vinced that, through some strange va
gary of fnte, wo were destined to knuw
moro of each other; that our Ufo Hues
wero ordained to touch nnd become
entnngled, somewhere In that mystery
of the western world to which I had
been condemned.
Then the guards came to me, nnd,
with my limbs freed of fetters, I was
passed down tho steep ladder Into the
Rcmidnrkncss between decks, where
wo wero to bo confined. It proved a
dismal, crowded holo In which wo wero
quartered llko so ninny cnttlc, tho only
vcnuintion nnd light furnished by the
open hatch above. Tho ticket given
mo called by number for a certain
berth, nnd I found this, throwing with
in tho small bundlo I bore.- Almost
limnedlntely there was n sound of
tramping feet on tho deck ebove, nnd
tho creaking of blocks. Then a sud
mefcaima
v
i
den movement of the hull told all wf
wero under way.
CHAPTER II.
The Prison 8hlp.
The greater portion of that voyage
of fill days I would blot entirely from
memory If possible. I ennnot hope to
describe It In any detail tho foul
smells, the discomfort, the ceaseless
horror of food, the close companion
ship -of men turned Into mere animals
by suffering and distress, the weari
some days, the black, sleepless nights,
tho poisonous air, and the brutality of
guards. I can never forget these
things, for they have scarred my soul.
Tho hatch above remained open, but
cnrefully guarded night and day, while
we were permitted on deck for air and
exercise only In squads of ten, two
hours out of every twenty-four. This
alono served to break tho dread mo
notony of the voyage. From our exer
cise on deck wo genernlly returned be
low drenched to tho skin, but glad to
even pay that price for two hours of
fresh air, and nn opportunity to gaze
nbout nt sea and sky. Wo were herd
ed well forward, a rope dividing us
from tho main deck, which space tho
passengers nft used as a promenade.
There were only three women aboard,
a fat dowager, the young lady 1 had
noticed nt embarkation, and her col
ored maid. I gnlned but one glimpse
of tho young lady In tho first two
weeks nt sen, and then only ns wo
were being ordered down to our quar
ters for the night. Just ns I was ap
proaching the hatch to descend our
eyes met fairly, and I Instnntly knew
sho saw nnd recognized me. For a
slnglo second our glnnccs clung, ns
though some mysterious Influence held
us to ench other then the nngry
guard struck mo with tho stock of his
piece.
"What or ye stnndln' thnr fcr?" ho
demanded savagely. "Go on down
lively now."
I saw her clasping fingers convul
sively grip the rail, and, even nt that
distance, marked a sudden flumo of
color In her cheeks. That was all her
message to me, yet quite enough. Al
though wo had never spoken, although
our names were yet unknown, I was
no crlmlnnl to her mind, no unrecog
nized prisoner beneath contemnt. but
a human being In whom sho already
reit a personal Interest, and to
whom she extended thought nnd sym
pathy." I continued entirely ignornnt
of tho Identity of tho young woman.
She remained In my memory, In my
thoughts nnmeless, a dream rather
thnn a reality. I did learn thnt tho
gay gallant was a wealthy Spaniard,
supposedly of high birth, by numo
Sanchez, and at ono tlmo In tho nnval
service, and likewise ascertained thnt
tho rotund planter was n certain Itoger
Fairfax of Saint Mary's in Maryland,
homewnrd bound after a successful
snlo of his tobneco crop In London. It
was uuring ins visit to the grent city
thnt ho had met Sanchez, nnd his
pralso of the colonies had Induced tho
latter to essny a voyugo In his com
pany to Amerlcn. Hut strange enough
no ono so much us mentioned tho girl
In connection with cither man.
CHAPTER III.
Dorothy Fairfax.
Wo wero not far from two hundred
miles cast of the Capes. I had been
closely confined to my bunk for two
days with Illness, but now, somewhat
stronger, hnd been ordered to deck by
the burgeon. Tho last bntch of pris
oners, ufter their short hour of recre
ation, bad been returned to tho quar
ters below, but I wns permitted to re
main nlono undisturbed.
I wns still stnndlng there absorbed
when n voice, soft-spoken nnd femi
nine, broke tho silence.
"May I speak with you?"
I turned Instantly, so thoroughly
surprised my voice faltered as I guzed
Into tho upturned face of tho ques
tioner. She stood directly besldo me,
her fiend uncovered. Instantly my cap
was off, und I was bowing courteously.
"Most certainly," with a quick sldo
glance toward the guard, "but I nin a
prisoner."
"Of courso I know thnt," In smiling
confidence. "Only von son I iu mtinp
a privileged character on board, l'er-
nnps you may be punished If you tulk
with me Is thnt what you meant?"
"I urn moru than willing to assurao
the risk. I have mado few friends for
ward, nnd urn even bold enough to sny
that I hnvo longed for n word with
you ever since I llrst saw you aboard."
Captain Carlylo finds a friend
but at the same time he finds
that he has an enemy on board
the Romping Betty. His enemy
warns that he will get revenge,
but why? Geoffry racks his brain
In vain for the answer.

To Make Sewing Silk Run Evenly.
When the silk thread on the ma
chine runs off tho spool too fust, nnd
causes It to tighten nround the spin
dle, cut a pleco of blotting paper or
thick cloth, make n hole In the cen
ter nnd slip on the spindle before the
spool, and you will hnvo no moro trou
ble. Cutting Bias Bands.
An excellent way to cut und point
bias bunds Is In the following man
tier: With a ruler nnd something
which will mark the cloth chalk for
dark colors and a hard pencil for
light are good If not used too heavily
mark the bunds on the mnterlal.
Then carefully Join the two ends of
the cloth so that the chalk lines ex
actly ijieet, only have the llrst lino
an one end moe the second on the
other, thus forming n spiral. Stitch
on (lie machine; then with u needle
nnd thread put u few secure stitches
Mich side of the murks to stay the
stitching. With sharp scissors begin
at the place whero the llrst band ex
tends beyond the second, und cut
round und round, following the chalk
line, until the whole Is cut Into one
piece nil perfectly Joined.
An Economical Way to Braid.
A simple and economical way to
maid is to trace the design on tissue
pnper, then bnste to the material that
Is to be braided. Proceed to sew on
the braid, sewing through both paper
nnd mnterlal, until the design bus been
nil covered with the braid, ufter which
remove the paper by carefully tear
ing It off. The paper Is n protection
to dcllcnte material while braiding,
although It works equally as well on
dark material.
An excellent substitute for button
holing Is found In the use of the fn
nilllur coronation brnld. It tuny be
whipped nlong any edge where but
tonholing Is commonly used. This Is
suggested for gnnnents made of In
expensive mnterlnl for general use.

Unless the .lime bride has her wed
ding procession pictured In her own
mind, down to the Inst detail, she Is
likely to have some anxious quarter
hours pondering the subject of her
bridesmaids' millinery. Now is the
tlmo to decide the matter, for June
will soon be here and those enterpris

all millinery needs have launched mid
summer hats that almost Mug the wed

tured here. The bride can weigh
their merits and select any ono of
them; there Is no chance of making a
mistake, for these are all exquisite ex
amples of summery heudweur suited
to the bridal cortege.
The hat at the top of tho group Is
a millinery gem of purest ray serene

An Embroidery Hint.
When making tho round holes for
eyelet embroidery put n pleco of soap
under tho fabric, und nllow the stil

sonpy, Impart n slight stiffness to tho

A Hair Ribbon Idea.
'I here are some little glrls; who still
cling to the hair riblioii,-usunlly be
tween the ages of eight and twelve, af
ter the bob und before they think It
tlmo to put up their linlr. And theso
same little girls like dashing things In
hair ribbon, especially for dress-up
time. What about embroidering them,
then? Lovely things can ho done with
balr ribbons. On dainty white, blue
and pink backgrounds pretty sprays of
silken flowers will be appropriate for
party sets, balr-rlhboiis and sashes to
wear over the light wash frock of ba
tiste or net. On darker ribbons bright
