LoVero shouted an order, and a ntid len flaro was lighted amidships, tho ilrclo of flame Illuminating a part of tho deck, nnd spreading out over tho wild expnnso of wnter. Scarcely had i minute elapsed before It came sweep ing Into the radius of light at first a Jim, spectral shadow, scarcely to bo recognized; then, almost us suddenly, revealed in nil Its details n bont of lie, flying townrd us under a lug sail, keeling well over, and topping tho sea iwclls like a bird on wing. LeVoro jailed for men to stand by, tho fellows rushing past mo to their stations, but, ,n tho fascination of tho moment, I failed to move. I could do nothing but itaro out across tho Intervening wa ter, with eyes fastened on that swiftly approaching boat. I must see, I must now tho message It brought; what itory It held of tho tragedy. Manuel eld tho tiller, with Bstada seated be- ttdo him, leaning forward, nnd ges tlculatlng with one hand, ns ho direct d Uio course. I lind never seen theso two, yet I knew them beyond a doubt. Ilen'dcz nnd Anderson (nt lenst I sup posed these to bo tho two) were poised it tho nail' halyards, ready to lot tho itrnlnlug sheet down nt a run, while Oochose crouched low In tho bow, his black hand uplifted, gripping n coll of rope. Their faces wero ull turned for ward, lighted by tho flafo from our fleck, and I felt a shudder of fear run over mo no expression on nny coun tennnco spoko of defeat; oven tho ugly features of tho negro beamed with de light But was that nil? Was that nil? Barely not Forward of tho elnglo mast wns stowed tho chest, whllo In tho open spneo between tho helmsman and tho two Bailors wero stretched two motionless bodies. LoVcre, gripping a stay-rope, nnd lcnnlng well out, hailed In Spanish. . "Ahoy, tho boat I You can mako It?' "Ay I" camo back Kstada's volco, "Stand by to fend us off. Cnlt nil bands, nnd break anchor as eoon ns wo are aboard." "Very well, sir. Whoro la Captnln Sanchez?" Estada pointed downwnrd In ewlft, expressive gesture, Tlero at iny feet badly hurt, but will recover. Send two men down to help when wo mako fast Now, Co chose lot go of your ropo; watch out nbovo l" I stood, gripping bard at tho rail and stnrtng down nt tho sccno below, as tho men In tho boat rondo fast. I felt paralyzed, and helpless, unablo to move. I had no business to remain thcra; every prospect of security de Vended on my Joining tho crew. Yet onlF ono thought gripped mo Sanchez was not dead I And that other body? That of Dorothy Fairfax, without doubt yet certainly not lifeless. If their prisoner was tho girl and who else could it bo? sho remained ullve, toeaplessly bound to prevent either atrugglo, or outcry, nnd destined to u fato far worso than death. My own llfo hung in the balance say, rather, my doom was nlready sealed. Thero seemingly was but one chnnco for cscnpo left that was to drop silently overboard. God, no I that would bo tho craven act of a coward. Bette far to stay, and kill, or oven bo killed, than to bo forever cursed by wy own consfJence. Tho fellows sent down from tho main chains to tho bout brought the injured captnln up first This required the services of thrno men, his body hanging limp between them, his up turned face showing ghnstly In the flaming of the torch thrust out over the mil. To every appearance It was apparently a corpse they bundled, ex cept for their tenderness, and n single groan to which tho white lips gnvo ut terance, when ono of the beurcrs slipped, wrenching the wounded body with a sharp pang of pain. Once safe ly on deck, tho thrco bore him across to the after cnbln nnd disappeared down the steps. Kstada had already swung himself up into tho chains, while Anderson nnd Mendcz were lifting tho girl to her feet, and rather roughly urging her forward. Her eyes reflected all tho unuttcrahlo horror which for tho moment dominated her mind, while her loosened liulr, disarranged by struggle, only served to intensify tho pallor of her face. "Hustle her ulong lively, boys," shouted buck Estndu coarsely. "If she won't move, give her n shove. Then tlo her up again, und, take tho turn of n ropo 'round her. What do you think this Is a queen's reception? Move lively, senorltn," In mock sarcusra. Dor gaze settled on him, where he hung far out, grasping a backstay, watching tho movements below, nnd her slender form straightened ns by tho ncqulsltlon of now strength. "If these creatures will tuko their bunds off me," sho said, using their tongue without u tremor hi tho clear voice. "I can euslly go up ulone. What Is It you are so afrnld of a woman?" Tho expression of EstndnVt fnen promised un outburst of profanity, but, Instead of giving it utterance, he lifted his enp in n sudden pretenso nt gal lantry. "Your pardon, eenorltu," ho enld In a tono of mockery. "If you havo como to your senses at last, It Is well. Leave Chose to Continue Playing the Fool, her alone, men. Now, my beauty, I am taking you nt your own word a step, and then tho protection of my hund. Wo welcome you, as a guest aboard." A moment and she had attained tho deck. Estnda choso to 'contlnuo nlav 'lug tho fool. "Thanks, senorlta thanks," ho be gan softly, nnd ngnln bowing beforo her, cap In hund. "Wo greet you with duo honor aboard tho Niunur " "Enough of that, you coward, you murderer," alio broko In coldly. "Do not touch nor speak to me." Shu turned her back on him, thus coming fnco to faco with LoVore, who stood enjoying tho scene, u wido grin ou his dark face, revealing n row of whlto teeth under u Jet-black mus tache. "You, sir you aro nn officer?" "I hnvo chargo of tho deck." "Then whero am I to go?" Tho mulatto, surprised by tho Bud den question, glanced Inquiringly toward Estadu, who had already com plctely lost bis scuso of humor. "Gol" tho latter growled. "Why send Uio wonch below. I'll bco to her Inter, nnd tench her who tit tho muster lioro. Oft with her now, lut bo back quickly." Ho leaned out over tho rail sending his gruff voice below, "Send up that chest, you men. Hook on tho boat, Manuel, nnd let her drng; wo must get out of hero In u hurry. All rendy, aloft?" "Ay, ny, sir." "Th.Mi sheet homo ; xhow la It for- rnnw "Both anchors apeak, sir. "Smartly done hard down wltt your holm there I That's It; now lei her play off slowly." Lie caught sight of me. All the sav age brutality of his nature had beer brought to tho surface by Dorothy't stinging words, and ho sought now some lit opportunity to give It vent Before I could move, ho hud gripped mo by tho collnr, und swung me nbout so thnt the light streaming out from the cnbln fell directly on my face. "What tho devil nre you doing, lonf. ing aft here? I'vo seen you hanging ubout for ten minutes, never lifting it hand. Who nre you nnyhow?" ".Too Gutes, sir." "Gates another damned English man ! How did you ever get aboard here?" It wns tho returning LcVcro whe made explanation before I could reply "Manuel brought him on board last night. I'lcked him up drunk ashorc'ty "I sec. Well now, do yon happen tr have any Idea who I am, Gutes?" "No, sir only thnt you arc one oi the ofllcors." "I am tho first pfllcer, nnd In com mand at present Pedro Estuda Is mj name. Now, you dumned English whelp, remember that 1" Beforo I even suspected what wai coming, his unexpected action ns swift ns the leap of n poised tiger, he struck mo fnirly between the eyes with the'! butt of n pistol, and I went down sprawling onto the deck. For a mo ment I seemed, In splto of tho vicious ness of tho blow, to retain a spark of consciousness, for I knew he kicked me savagely with his heavy sea boots; I felt tho pain, und even heurd the words, und curses, accompanying each brutul stroke. "You drunken dog I You whelp of a sea wolf I You English curl Tnke that damn you I And thut! You'll not forget tne for awhile. That's It squirm. I like to see It When you wako up again, you'll remember Pedro Estnda. How did that feel, you grunt ing pig? Here, LeVcre, Manuel, throw this sot Into the forecastle. Curso you, hero is ono more to Jog your memory." Tho heavy, iron-shod boot landed full in my face, and every sensutlou left mo as I sank limply back, bloody und unconscious. CHAPTER XII. A Friend In tho Forecastle. I slowly opened my eyes to find my self lying In nn upper bunk of the fore castle. Memory soon returned, stimu lated no doubt by the aching of my body whero Estada had so brutally kicked mo with. his heavy boot. Tho heavy rolling of the bark clearly evi denced that wo were ulrcady at sea, nnd -bucking against u high wind. It was a dark, dismal, smelly interior, amply largo enough, but 111 ventilated, and Inexpressibly dirty. I must havo been lying unconscious for several hours. I rested bnck, feeling of tho numerous bruises on my body, nnd touching gingerly tho dried blood caked on my face. No very serious damage seemed to havo been done, al though every muscle nnd tendon ap peared to bo strained and lacerated. Clinching my teeth to keep bnck a groan, I succeeded In sitting upright, my head touching tho upper deck, as undertook to survey my surround ings. About half tho bunks seemed to bo occupied, tho figures of tho sleeping men barely discernible. As I sat there, staring about at this scene thero was a stir within tho up per berth on my own level, and an up lifted faco appeared suddenly in tho yellow flare of light. It was mani festly an English face at first glance, rosy of cheek, with chestnut beard. A pair of humorous, gray eyes surveyed mo silently, and then, apparently satis fied by tho scrutiny, the owner sat up In the bunk, revcnling powerful shoul ders, nnd a round, bull neck. "Ahoy, mate," ho said pleasantly, endenvoring to speak low, tho effort resembling tho growl of n bear, "now do you feel pretty sore?" 'Acho from head to foot," I an swered, Immediately feeling his friend liness. "But no harm done." "I saw part of it Tho damn black bruto kicked savagely enough, but ut that you're lucky; It's tho Spanish stylo to uso a knife. I'vo seen that cock slush a man Into ribbons for nothing nt all Just to show ho was bad. Haines tells mo your name 1b Gutes, and that you aro English." "That's right; I shipped first out of Bristol." "So did I, mute twenty years ago though, nnd I never went bnck since, My unmo Is Tom Watklns. Let's shake; thero Is qulto a sprinkling of us Brit ishers nboard, and wo ought to hang together." Ho put out n big, hairy flst, and gripped it heartily, decidedly liking the mnn ns his eyes frankly mot mine Ho appeared honest nnd square, a flno typo of tho English seaman. "Tom Watklns, you enld. May I ask If you wero out on tho bow-sprit along with Haines Inst night?" "Just aforo tho longboat como In? Yes, wo wero there," "Well, I wns down below, hnnglnu to tho cable, und ovcrhenra you two talking together. Somehow, Watklns, you do not seem to mo to fit In exactly with this gung of pirates; you don't look to bo that sort. How long hayo you been with them?" Carlylo nets further attention from the brutal Estada, but In a different form. What may It portend? Does It offer hope of final escape or further danger to Carlylo and Dorothy? (TO BE CONTINUED.) 1 I DIFFERENT BREEDS OF GEESE Toulouse, Embden, Chinese and Afri can Are Easily the Most Popu lar In This Country. (I'rcp.irod by tho United .States Depart ment of Agriculture.) Six breeds of geese have been nd mltte'l to tho American standard of perfec tion, nnmuly: Toulouse, Emb den, t'hlnpse, Afrlcnn, Wild or Cnnn Minn, and Egyptian. In addition to the standard breeds there Is tho so called Mongrel goose, which Is a hy brid made by crossing one of theso varieties or the common goose with wild geese. Crosses of the varieties of geese, especlully of the Toulouse nnd Kinhdcn, arc occasionally made, but without any npparent gain. The W tk. Toulouse Gander. Toulouse. Embden. Chinese, nnd Afrl cnn are easily the most popular breeds of geese in this country, the tlrst two greatly lending the other breeds. All economic breeds of geese nre kept pri marily for the production of flesh nnd fonthers, and although their eggs nre occasionally used for culinary pun oses on tho farm there Is no demand for them for food purposes In the man kits. The Toulouse, tho largest of the standard breeds of geese, Is a good uyer, producing from 20 fo 35 eggs a year, Is docile, grows rapidly, and makes a good market bird. However, Its dark pinfenthers mnko It a slightly oss attractive market goose than the Embden. Tho Embden, n large, whlto goose, slightly smaller und with somewhat longer legs than tho Toulouse, Is only n fnlr layer and la usually less pro lific thnn the Toulouse. This breed has white pinfenthers, is a rapid grow er, and mntures early. The African, tt grny goose with n distinct brown shnde, about the size of the Embden, is a good layer nnd makes a good market goose, although It has the objectionable dnrk .pin fenthers. It is n rapid grower nnd matures early. There nre two stnndnrd varieties ol Chinese geese, the brown nnd the white. Both varieties mature carly and nre said to be prolific layers nnd rnpld growers, but shy and rnther diffi cult to hnndlc. Tho wild goose Is bred to some ex tent In captivity, nnd the young nro sold to hunters to use ns decoys. The wild gander Is used to cross with elthtr the common Or the purebred goose, producing the so-cnllcd Mongrel goose. This Mongrel goose Is highly prized ns n mnrket goose, but Is sterile and ennnot be bred. The Egyptlnn goose Is n small, brightly-colored goose kept for orna' mental purposes nnd rnrely seen In this country. It resembles the wild goose in shape and weighs two pounds less In each class. ERADICATE LICE AND MITES Insects Sap Vitality of Fowl and Pre- vent Growth or Lessen Pro ductlon of Eggs. Mites nnd lice frequently sap the vl tallty of the fowl and prevent growth or lessen. the egg production. A thor ough cleaning of the house, regular nnnllcatlons of disinfectants to tho roosts nnd nests, and n frequent dust Inc of the fowls will control theso pests.
