Foreword.
Anson Carlyle, aged twenty,
three, the ninth In descent from
Capt. Qeoffry Carlyle of Glas
gow, Scotland, was among tho
heroic Canadian dead at Vlmy
ridge. Unmarried, and tho last
of his line, what few treasures
he possessed fell Into alien
hands. Among these was a
manuscript, apparently written
In the year 1C87, and which,
through nine generations, had
been carefully preserved, yet
never made public. Tho 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 somo education, and clear
thought, but exceeding diffuse,
In accordance with the style of
his time, and possessing small
conception of literary form. It
editing this manuscript for mod
ern readers I have therefore
been compelled to practically re
write It entirely, retaining mere
ly the essential facts, with an
occasional descrlptlvo passage,
although I have conscientiously
followed the original develop
ment of the tale. In this recon
struction much qualntness of lan
guage as well 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 havo no doubt
aa to Its essential truth, nor do
I question the purpose which
dominated this rover of tho sea
In his effort to record the adven
tures of his younger life. As a
picture of those days of blood
and courage, as well as a story
of love and devotion, I deem It
worthy preservation, regretting
only tho impossibility of now
presenting It In print exactly as
written by Geoffry Carlyle.

CHAPTER I.
Sent Into Servitude.
Knowing this to bo n narrative- of
unusual adventure, and ono which may
never even bo read until long after I
havo departed from this world, when
It will bo difficult to convlnco readers
that such times as aro horcln depleted
could ever have been reality. I shall
endeavor to narrate each Incident In
tno simplest manner nosslble. Mv
only purpose Is truth, and my only
witness history. Yet, even now lately
ub this nil happened, It Is more llko
tho recollections of a dream, dimly re-
memnereu nt nwauening, nnu, per
chance, might remain so, but for tho
scars upon my body, and tho constant
memory of a woman's face. Theso
nlono combine to bring back In vivid
ness those days that were days of
youth and 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 and peace, and
forgetful of the past, I wander again
along a deserted shore, and sail among
those Isles of a southern sea, the homo
lor many a century of crime and un
8pcakablo cruelty. I will recall tho
truth, nnd can do no more.
It was still early morning when wo
were brought out under heavy guard
nnd mnrched somberly forth through
tho opened gates of tho Jail. Ahead
wo could perceive a forest of masts.
and what seeiiled like n vast crowd of
waiting people. That wo had been

"ItB Virginia, mute; wo'ro bound for

The eyes of a prisoner met mine.
"Virginia, hoy?" ho grunted.
MVo'm

then, whur Is this yero Virginia?!'
"That's all right, mates," I returned
cheerily. "We'll fall into the hands

where nil the tobacco comes from.

looked up Into tho stern eyes of tho
captain of the guard, "or It may bo

'I am twenty-six."
"Ye don't look even thet. Ay,
they're, ready for ye now. Fall In
there all of yer. Step along, yer
d d rebel scum."
I stared aft nt tho poop deck. Thcro
were n number of persons gathered
nlong the low rail, probably all passen
gers. Then my eyes encountered a
strange group foregathered beside tho
lee rail.
There wcro four In the little party,
ono of them n ncgress. Another was
clearly enough a colonial proprietor,
a heavily built man of middle nge,
purplo faced. I passed these by with
a glance, my attention concentrating
upon tho other two a middle-aged
mnn and a yu'ng woman stand-'
lng side by side. The former was n
dashing looking blade, of not more
than forty, attired In blue slashed
cont, ornamented with gilt buttons,
and bedecked. at collar and cuffs with
a profusion of lace. A saffron colored
waistcoat failed to conceal his richly
bcruflled fihlrt, and the hilt of a rapier
was rather prominently displayed.
Such dandles were frequently enough
seen, but It was this man's face which
made marked 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 tho thin firm n ess of his lips, and
even nt thnt distance I could perceive
tho lines of a scar across his chin. Al
together thcro was an audacity to his
face, a daring, convincing mo he was
no mere lady's knight but one to whom
fighting wns a trade. Ho was pointing
us out to his companion, apparently
Joking over our appearance, In un en
deavor to amuse. Seemingly she gave
small heed to his words, for although
her eyes followed where ho pointed
they never once lighted with a smljc,
nor did I see her answer his sallies.
Sho wns scarcely moro than n girl,
dressed very simply In somo clinging
dark stuff, with a loose gray cloak
draping her shoulders and a small,
neat bonnet of straw perched upon a
mass of colled hair. The face beneath
was sweetly piquant, with dark eyes
and rounded checks flushed with
health. She stood, both hands clasping
tho rail, watching us Intently. I
somehow felt ns though her eyes were
upon me, and within their depths, even
at that distance, I seemed to read a
message of sympathy and kindness.
The one lasting Impression her face
left on my memory was that of inno
cent girlhood, dignified by a womanly
tenderness.
Whnt wcro those two to each other?
I could not guess, for they seemed
from two utterly different worlds. Not
What Wero Those Two to Each Other?
brother and sister surely; and not
lovers. The last was unthinkable,
Instinctively I disliked the man, aware
of an Instant antagonism, realizing
that ho was evil ; whllo his companion
enmo to mo as rovcalment of all that
was truo and worthy, In a degree I had
never known before. From the Instant
I looked upon theso two I felt con
vlnced that, through somo strango va
gary of fate, wo wero destined to know
moro of each other; that our life lines
wcro ordained to touch and become

Then the guards camo to mo, nnd
with my limbs freed of fetters, I was
passed down tho steep ladder Into the
scmldnrkness between decks, where
wo -wero to bo confined. It proved n
dismal, crowded holo In which wo wero
qunrtored like so ninny cattle, the only
ventilation and light furnished by tin
open hatch above. Tho ticket given
me called by number for a certain
berth, and I found this, throwing with

CHAPTER II.
The Prison Ship.
The greater portion of that voyage
of Ml days I would blot entirely from
mi mory If possible. I ennnot hope to
de- rlbo It In any detail the foul
sni' Us, the discomfort, the ceaseless
honor of food, the close companion
ship of men turned into mere animals
by suffering nnd distress, the weari
some days, the black, sleepless nights,
tho poisonous air, and the brutality of
guards. I -can never forget theso
things, for they have scarred my soul.
The hatch above remained open, but
Carefully guarded night and day, while
we wero permitted on deck for air and
ox fclso only In squads of ten, two
hours out of every twenty-four. This
nhmo served to break the dread mo
nomny of the voyage. From our exer
cise on deck we generally returned be
low drenched to the skin, but glad to
oven pay that price for two hours of
fresh air, and an opportunity to gaze
about at sea and sky. Wo were herd
ed well forward, n rope dividing us
from the main deck, which space tho
passengers aft used as a promenade.
There wero only three women aboard,
a fat dowager, the young lady I had
noticed nt embarkation, nnd her col
ored maid. I gained but one glimpse
of tho young lady In the first two
weeks at sea, and then only as wo
were being ordered down to our quar
ters for the night. Just ns I was ap
proaching the hatch to descend our
eyes mot fairly, and I instantly knew
she saw and' recognized me. For n
single second our glances clung, ns
thugh some mysterious influence held
us to each' other then the angry
guard struck me with tho stock of his
piece.
"What or ye standln' thnr fer?" ho
demanded savagely. "Go on down
lively now."
I saw her clnsplng Angers convul
sively grip the rail, and, even nt that
distance, marked n sudden flame of
color In her checks. Thnt was all her
message to me, yet quite enough. Al
though wo had never spoken, although
our names wcro yet unknown, I was
no criminal to her mind, no unrecog
nized prisoner beneath contempt, but
a humnn being In whom sho already
felt a personal interest, nnd to
whom she extended thought nnd sym
pathy. I continued entirely ignorant
of the Identity of the young womnn.
Sho remained In my memory. In my
thoughts nameless, tt dream rather
than a reality. I did learn thnt the
gay gallant wns a wealthy Spaniard,
supposedly of high birth, by name
Sanchez, and nt one time In the naval
service, and likewise ascertained that
tho rotund planter was a certain Roger
Fairfax of Saint Mary's in Maryland,
homeward bound after n successful
sale of his tobacco crop In London. It
was during his visit to tho great city
that he had met Sanchez, and his
pralso of tho colonics had induced tho
latter to essay a voyage In his com
pany to America. But strange enough
no ono so much n mentioned the girl
in connection with either man.
CHAPTER til.
Dorothy Fairfax.
We wero not far from two hundred
miles east of tho Capes. I had been
closely confined to my bunk for two
days with illness, but now, somewhat
stronger, had been ordered to deck by
tho surgeon. The Inst batch of pris
oners, after their short hour of recre
ation, had been returned to tho quar
ters below, but I was permitted to re
main nlono undisturbed.
I was still standing there absorbed
when n volco, soft-spoken and femi
nine, broke the silence.
"May I speak with you?"
I turned Instantly, so thoroughly
surprised my volco faltered as I gazed
Into tho upturned face of the ques
tioner. She stood directly beside me,
her head uncovered. Instantly my cap
was off, and I was bowing courteously.
"Most certainly," with a quick sldo
glanco toward the guard, "hut I am a
prisoner."
"Of course I know thnt," In smiling
confidence. "Only you seo I am rather
a privileged character on board. Per
haps you may bo punished If you talk
with me Is that what you meant?"
"I am moro than willing to assume
the risk. I have mado few friends for
ward, nnd am even bold enough to say
that I havo longed for a word with
you ever slnco I llrst saw you aboard."
Captain Carlyle finds a friend
but at the same tlmo he finds
that he has an enemy on board
the Romping Betty. His enemy
warns that he will get revenge,
but why? Ceoffry racks his brain
In vain for the answer.

THIN PEOPLI
SHOULD TAKI
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Llko Plain Dltro-Phoophat
to Put on Firm, Hoalthy Floh and
to Inoronao Strength, Vlcr
and Horvo Force,
Judging from the countless preparations
and treatments which are continually be
tny advertised for tho purpose of making
thin people fleshy, developing arms, neoS
and bust, and replacing ugly hollows and
angles by the soft curved lines of health
and beauty, there are evidently thousands
of men and women who keenly feel their
excessive thinness. '
Thinness and weakness are usually du
.o starved nerves. Our bodies need mora
phosphate than Is contained In modern
foods. Physicians claim there Is nothing
that will supply this deficiency so well aa
the organic phosphate known among drug
gists as bltro-phosphate, which .Is inex
pensive and is sold by most all arugglsts
under a guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly ana
by supplying the body cells with the neces
sary phosphoric food elements, bltro-phoM
phato quickly produces a welcome trans
formation In the appearance; the lncreasa
In weight frequently being astonishing.
This Increase In weight also carries with
It a general Improvement In the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accompany
excessive thinness, soon disappear, dull
eyes become bright, and pale cheeks glovr
with the bloom of perfect health.
CAUTION: Although bltro-phosphata
Is unsurpassed for relieving nervousness,
sleeplessness and general weakness. It
should not, owing to its remarkable flesh
growing properties, be used by anyone
who does not desire to put on flesh.
