Continued. Crystal only nnsworcd: "What do you moan to do with this ship, Popo?" "Sink her." Crystal stopped In a sort of start. "It will bo Inhuman " says ho. Popo, staring him In tho fnco by tho starlight, raised his hand, and let It fall heavily upon his companion's Bhouldor. "If they won't glvo us command of them," says ho, "of what use aro they?" "What's to become of tho pcoplo?" "Sho carries a flno long-boat and sho carries quartor-boats," answered Popo. "And my cousin?" exclaimed Crys tal. "Isn't sho safe!" cried Popo, with a cordial laugh. "Oh, Johnny, this Is a rich ship!" CHAPTER XVI. Pope Falls In Love. Daybreak found Captain Popo and Crystnl walking tho poop of tho West Indlaman. "Crystal," sayB Popo, "get up tho gold out of tho mull room and transfer It to my cabin nbonrd tho brig as quickly as may bo done. I shnll help myself plentifully to pro visions and drink, but shall not med dle with tho cargo. It must go to tho bottom." "You mean to send tho peoplo adrift?" Crystal said. "Yes, these aro sunny seas, Jona than; they shall leave us well stocked; and nren't there bontB enough?" "How nbout Laura, my cousin?" ex clnlmed Crystnl, In a low, thin voice, looking askant at his companion. "We'll keep her with us. Sho has a rolatlvo in our ship," answered Pope, smiling; "n man that somewhat re sembles her father." "By thq Holy Anchor, then, ho can bo no beauty I" Bays Crystal, trying to look ns If ho were tickled; "but I tell yo what, Pope, I don't half llko the notion," and now his face took on a dren away in tho boats under this sun, though I don't doubt they'll bo rescued. But " and ho sworo so vio lently that Laura winced and recoiled, opening her eyes In horror at him, "what does ho Intend by keeping you, a beautiful young girl, tho only fe mnlo aboard a footy old brig flushed to her coamings with the sons of hell?" "You'll protect me," she moaned, catching hold of his arm again and looking wildly Into his face with n sudden desperate expression ot dis tress and terror. It was now nbout nino o'clock In tho morning, and probably by noon the men of tho Gypsy would have shifted all they required Into tho brig's hold. Popo wont up to Miss Crys'tal as sho stood on deck looking nbout,her. "I hopo your mind Is easy,"' says ho In n soft volco, "I vow to God you aro In no danger." "But what do you mean to do with me!" she cried. "Oh, madam, do not aBk. Grant me somo lime. Bo sure you aro safe in my own and your couBln's hands." "But I shall bo alone among a lot of frightful pirates," she said, looking most entreatlngly at him, but not with tho least fear. How could any womnn bo afraid of a man who gazed at her with tho expression, tho tone, Pope's face and volco took now? He was head over cars In love, and tho girl knew It. "They are frightful, and they aro pirates," ho exclaimed, smiling. "But no man will hurt you. I nm captain of those frightful plrntcs. "But what dreadful waste of prop erty, to sink so fine a ship as this," said Laura. "Don't plead, I beg. My mind's re solved," answered Pope. "And what Is to become of the peo ple?" "They shall bo well used," ho an swered, exhibiting no temper at this questioning. "My father." said she, "will be shocked when ho hears that Cousin whispers, ho In a low doto told her th story of Captain Jackman and of that handsomo lunatic's lovo for tho beauti ful daughter of a fiery-hearted com mander In tho Royal Navy. Ho Bald that this brig had bolonged to Captain Jackman and that that man's scheme of piracy had determined him to imi tate it.

"You are." answered tho square man, without looking up. "Tho women and children, too?" "Yes," growled Crystal. "Adrift," murmured the passengers ono to another, "are we to bo sent adrift?"

"Then yo Would send her adrift, Jonnthan?" says Popo In a tone of mel ancholy. "I would leave this ship to swim, and glvo tho people, including my cousin, a chnnco for their lives. There's the third mate to take chargo." "No!" roared Pope; "I'm captain here! I found tho capital, the expedi tion is at my expense, I mean to have my way!" ho cried, with an oath. "I'm resolved on't. Damnntlon, Johnny, no more words. I tell you. Crystnl, I'm In lovo with that beautiful woman, and sho shall be tho wife of an honorable gentleman of fortune." As ho spoke he wont down tho com pnnlonstops to tho cabin, where the passengors were assembled waiting to begin their breakfast. They all seated themselves and Pope took tho head of the table. He occupied tho chair of the man he had slain, and Crystnl sat down In the chair nt tho foot of tho table, tho chair of the sec ond man Pope had slain. But prlva- teersmen have short memories and I pirates none. "May I nsk, sir," exclaimed a sal low bilious pasesnger, "what you pro pose to do with us?" "You will bo laughing soon ln Eng land over this Incident," exclaimed Pope, "and you will never cease to congratulate yourselves upon having helped to rotrievo the fortunes of two sea captains of honor and descent." Ho held himself erect and expanded his chest. There was a faint look of pleasure in tho gazo that Miss Laura fastened upon him. Sho rose whon sho snw Crystal rise, and went to him. "What does ho moan to do with us, cousin?" said Laura, dotalnlng tho 'squaro man by putting her hand, on which sparkled a ring or two, upon his arm. "Ho Is going to sand tho passengors and erew away ln the boats, aud thou sink tho ship. He moans to keep you with lis. I don't llko his scheme," says Crystal, with a darkening face. "It's inhuman to sink this ship. It's cruel to send these people and cull- Jonathan has turned pirate. And you aro nearly always caught.

It was a little later than Crystal came up the poop and spied Popo talk ing to two of the men beside the fore hatch. Crystal came aft to Pope's call with some llttlo show of alacrity. The gazo that Pope fastened upon him as ho approached had feomothlng singu lar in it. Jonathau, however, who was an ill reader of the varying expres sions of the human countenance, saw nothing unusual in his shipmate's face. "Tho sooner wo make an end of this tho better," says Pope, without any mood or humor of a marked sort in his voice. "But we will behave like gentlemen to the last: and I am al ways on the side of humanity." "Whnt'B the next job?" "A blow-out for tho pasesngers. which I will seo to," responded Cap' tain Popo. "When the men havo had their dinner, get the long-boat and tho two qunrter-boats equipped and plenti fully provisioned. They shall have room and food enough. Not hut that tho grub will bo wasted.

Miss Crystal Immodlatoly went to him with a slight bloom on hor cheeks. He looked at her for a few momonts with impnBsioued 'attention, with oyes whose adoration no woman could mis take for any othor omotion, and while the poor passengors stood on tho othor side of the deck watching him nnd frightening one another ln for u ring, an automobile and a big bull engaged In battle near West Kortright recently.
