Synopsis - Geoflfry Cnrlyle, master of Balling ships nt twen-ty-Hlr, la sentenced to 20 years' servitude In the Amerlcnn col onies for participation In the Monmouth rehelllon In England. Among tho passeriRers on board the ship on which ho Is sent across are Roger Fnlrfur, wealthy Maryland planter; his niece, Dorothy Fulrfar, and Lieu tenant Sanchez, n Spaniard, who became acquainted with the Fair faxes In London.

By a ruse ho gets aboard and min gles with tho crow. Tho pirates return to tho Namur with Dor othy, tho captured gold and Sanchez, badly wounded but still .alive. CHAPTER XII Continued. Bo glanced about warily, lowering his volco until It became a honrso whisper. "Thrco years, inato, und most of Mint tlmo lias been hell. I haven't even been ashore, but onco, und that was pa an Island. These fellows don't put any trust In my kind, nor give them any chance to cut and run. Once In awhile a lad does get nwhy, but most of them nro caught; and those that uro sure get their punishment They aevcr try It again. I'vo seen them staked out on tho sand and left to 31c ; that ain't no nlco thing to remem ber." "But how did yon como nto It?" "Like most of tho rest. I was sec end inato of tho Ranger, a Glasgow brig. These fellows overhauled us at daybreak about a hundred miles off tho cast end of Cuba. Our skipper was Scotch, and ho put up boiuo light, but It wasn't uny use. There was only thrco of us left nllvo when tho pirates caino aboard. One of these died two days later, and unothcr was washed overboard und 'drowned down In tho Qulf. I am all that Is left of tho Ranger." "Sou saved your Hfo by taking on?" "Sanchez had tho two of us, who wcro ablo to stand, back In his cabin. Flo put It to us straight. IIo said It was up to us whether wo signed up or walked tho plank; and ho didn't ap pear to caro a damn which wo chose." "And you nay others of Mils crew havo been obtained In tho same man ner?" I questioned, deeply Interested, and perceiving In this a rny of hope. -not exactly no, i wouldn't pre cisely say that It's true, perhaps, that most of Mio Britishers were forced to join in about tho samo way I was, He Glanced About Warily. hnd there may bo a Scandinavian or two. with a few Dutch, to bo counted In that list; but Mio roost nro pirates from choice. It's their trade, and they Hko It Sanchez only alms to keep hold of a fow good won, becnuso ho has got to havo sailors; but most of his crow aro nothing but plain cut throats.

I'll bet there Is u hun dred rats on board this Namur right now who'd cut your throat for a sov ereign, and never so much us think qf It again." "A hundred? Is there that many aboard?" "A hundred an' thirty all told. Most o' 'cm bunk amidships. They're not sallormcn, but Just cut-throats, on sea wolves. Ycr ought ter see 'em swarm out on deck, like hungry rats, when thar's n light comlu'. It's all they're good fcr." "Wutklns," I said soberly, after a pnuse during which he spat on the dirty deck to thus better express his feelings, "do you racnn to say that In three years (you've had no chanc to escape? No opportunity to get nway?" "Not a chance,, inato; no more will you. I know what yer thlnklu' 'bout. I had them notions too when I fust come aboard gettln' nil the decent sort tergether, and takln' the vessel. 'Twon't work; thar ain't 'nough who wud risk It, and If thar wus, ycr couldn't get 'em tergether. Sanchez Is too damn smart fcr thct Every damn rat Is a spy. I ain't hod no such talk as this aforo In six months, Gates; the last time cost me twenty lnshcs at the inast-lfutt AVhat'd yer havo In yer mind, mate?" "Only this, Wntkins. I'vo got to do something, and bcllcvo I can trust you It's not my life I'm thinking about, but that of u woman." "A woman I Not tho one brought aboard last night?" "Exactly; now listen I'm going to tell you my slory, and nsk your help. My nnme Is not Gntes, and I nm not the man Mendez brought aboard drunk, and who was thrown over tho rail by LeVore. That fellow was drowned. I am Gcoffry Carlyle, an English skip per." Thereupon I tojrt him my etory In dctnll. Then I said: "I hnvo no plan ; to become a mem ber of tho crow was my only thought. But I must act. If at nil, before the captain recovers, no would recogulzo mo at sight. You will aid, advise me?" "That Is easier to ask than nnswor, mate," ho admitted finally. "I am an English seaman, nnd will do my duty, but, so far as I can sec, Micro Is no plan wo enn make. It Is God who will savo the girl, If she Is to be saved. He may use us to that end, but It Is wholly beyond our power to accom plish It alone. Tho only thing I can do Is to sound out tho men aboard, nnd learn Just what we enn expect of them If any opportunity to act comes. There aro not more than a dozen at most to bo relied upon. IMny your pnrt, nnd keep quiet. If you enn let her know of your presence aboard It might be best for If she saw you suddenly, un prepared, she might say or do some thing to betray you. There are other reasons why it may bo best for her to know she Is not entirely deserted." no leaned over, motlonlnir mo toward him, until his lips were nt my ear. "It may not prove ns hopeless as It nppcara, now," ho whispered confiden tially. "I helped enrry Sanchez to his stateroom, and washed and dressed his wound. Thoro Is no surireon aboard. lie has a bad cut, and Is very weak from loss of blood. The question of our success hinges on Pedro Estada. This is a chance ho has lone been waiting for. Tho only question is, has ho tho nerve to act I doubt if he has alone, but LoVero is with him, and that half-breed would cut tho thront of his best friend, You understand? tho death of Sanchez would mako Estada chief." iHii, i uiicrposeu, "in mat caso what would tho crow do?" "Accept Estadn, no doubt: nt least tho cut-throats would bo with him, for ho Is of their sort. But Sanchez's death would savo you from discovery, and." his voice still lower, so that barely distinguished tho words, "In tho confusion aboard, If wo were ready. the Namur might bo so disabled ns to compel them to run her nshoro for re pairs. That would glvo you a chance, If once wo roach Porto Grande there Is no hope." A marllng-splko pounded on tho scuttle, nnd Haines' voleo roared down. "Port watch 1 Hustle out, bulllosl" CHAPTER XIII. I Accept a Proposal. I went on dock ;lth tho watch, and mingled with them forward. A Portu? gueso boatswain set me at polishing tho gun mounted on tho forecastle. was busily nt work on this bit of ord nance, when Estndif came on deck for a moment The fellow chanced to oh servo me. "You must he n pretty tough bird Oates," ho said roughly, "or I would havo killed you last night I had tho mind to." Something about his volco and man nor led mo to feel Mini, In spjto of his rougnness, ho wns not in bad humor. "That would havo been a mistake, sir," I answered, straightening up, rag In hand, "for It would have cost you a good seftmtn. Three years ngo I was skipper on my own vessel. The Bom buy Castle, London to Hongkong; I wrecked her off Cape Mendez In a fog. I was drunk below, and It cost me my ticket" "You know West Indian waters?" "Slightly; I made two voyages to Panamif, and one to Havana." "And speak Spanish?" "A little bit, sir, as you 'see; I learn languages easily." He stared straight Into my face, but without uttering nnother word, turned on his heel und went below. I had fin ished my labor on the carronadc, and was fastening down, securely the tar paulin, when a thin, stoop-shouldered fellow, with n hong-dog face crept up tho ladder to the poop, and shuffled over to LoVere. "Mister LeVere, sir." "Well, what Is it Gunsaulcs?" "Scnor Estada, sir; he wishes to seo a sailor named Gates in the cabin." "Who? Gates? Oh, yes, the new man, lie swept his eyes about, untl) I Waited for the Man to Speak. he saw me. "Follow the steward be low; Scnor Estada wishes to see you go Just as you are." "Very good, sir." , Tho fellow led me away. There was no ono In the main, cabin. I fol-. lowod Mie beckoning steward; who rapped with his knuckles on one of the side doors. Estada's volco an swered. I stepped Inside, doubtful enough of what all this might mean, yet quite prepared to accept of any chance It might offer. Estada sat up right In the chair gazing straight at me, his own face clearly revealed in the light from the open port His face was swarthy, long and thin, with hard, set lips under a long, intensely black mustache, his cheeks strangel; crisscrossed by Hues. The, noso wnt lnrge, distinctively Roman, yleldlnc him a hawklike appearance, but II was his eyes which fascinated me. They were dark and deeply set, abso lute wells of cruelty. I had never before 6een such eyes In tho face of n human being; they were beastly, dev- lllsli; I could feel my blood chill as 1 looked Into their depths, yet I held myself erect and waited for the man to speak. Then his lips curled In what was meant to be a smile. He arose, stepped quietly to tho door nnd glnnced out, returning apparently sat isfied. "I don't trust Miat steward." h? said, "nor, as n matter of fact, anyone eiso wnoiiy." uo paused nnd stared nt me, then added: "I've never had any faith In your race, Gntes, but am In dined to use you. Every Englishman I ever know wns a Uur and a sneaking poltroon. I was brought up to hate the race and always have. I can't say that I Hko you any better Minn the others. I don't, for Mie matter ot Mint But just now you can bo use ful to me If you are of that mind. This Is a business proposition, and it mnkes no odds If wo hato each oMier, so the end is gained. How does that sound?" "Not altogether bad," I admitted. "I havo been In eomo games of diance before." "I thought as much," eagerly, "and money has tho samo dilnk however It be earned. You could use somo?" Carlyle sees a chance to carry through his wild plan to save Dorotiy and himself, but there are many pitfall In the way. Tho chance is a desperate one. Shall he take It? Carlylo can see but one answer to the ques tion. (TO BE CONTINUED.) Greater London's food bill amounU to uioro than $30,000,000 - week. I think that I uliall never see A po. m lovely ns a tree.

Good feeding Is an Important factor In maintaining health, but In spite of good food n sudden chill or strain of overwork or worry will overwhelm even a strong nnd healthy body. Since all foWl must be reduced to (luld form hefoK- It can be digested nnd asslm llnteu. that seems to be the besfform to si rve It to those who nro 111. This diet includes broths and clear soups of v.irlous kinds, beef Juice and beef ten, i-t-renls, gruels, milk plain or mod ified to make It more digestible, nu tritious or more agreeable to the pa tient, raw eggs In combination with water, milk, fruit Juices or cocoa and crenni soups of various kinds. Broths, clear soups nnd beef ten have little nourishment, but stimulate the appetite, nre refreshing when cold or soothing when hot; they nlso stim ulate the flow of gastric Juice. By adding eggs, milk or tho thickening of cereal Hour like barley or rice, they may bo quite nutritive. Cereal gruels are neither stimulat ing nor Irritating nnd are most useful when the appetite is poor and diges tion weak, as they aro quickly di gested and absorbed. , Like broths, gruels may bo enriched by ogKS, cream and lnilk, for one could not drink enough to keep up the body energy without the addition of some more nutritive food. Milk is one of the most valuable foods for sick people and fortunately most patients like it. It hns been call ed the perfect food. Its value may bo Increased by changing Its flavor, adding yeast to It making a drink called koumiss nnd by nddlng jun ket, or rennln to partly digest It mak ing It more palatable and adding variety. The world would be more happy and tho mass of people In It Just ns wise, If they would whistle more and argue loss. SOME CHOICE DESSERTS. A delicious and well-prepared des sert will often helpus to forget that tho preceding dishes were not nil that we de sired. At this season of the year frozen desserts and light, easily digested dishes nro more suitable. During the hot weather we need refreshing com binations rather than the nourishing; however, one may have both in a dish of ice cream. A most satisfac tory sherbet, which Is both delicious und economical. Is Velvet Sherbet. Take the juice of three lemons, two cupfuls of sugar and u quart of good milk, the richer the better, though ordinary milk will bo satisfactory. Freeze and serve In Kherbet cups. Orange and temon Sherbet Take the Juice of two oranges, two lemons and two cupfuls of sugar and n quart if thin cream; freeze as usual. Dainty Dessert. Take a pound of marshmallows and u cup of pecans cut tine; cut the innllovs Inti quarters' and add enough whipped cream to ilt-nd aud hold them together. Into n irge-topped sherbet glass put a table- oonful of any canned fruit Juice, tl i with the wlilp and serve with a hurry as a garnish. Duchess Cream. Take six table N'oonfuls of tapioca; cook until clear; ool, add a pinch of salt, one cupful f sugar, the Julco from a can of pine apple, the Juice of two oranges and t vo lemons; cook until thick. Cool. I ihon add the pineapple, ono cupful of nurs nnd a pint of whipping cronm. ' "Is mnkes enough to servo 15, so that i ! o recipe may bo cut In half for an "Unary family. Chocolate Pudding. Take one egg ii nd when well beaten add one-half unful ,)f ""Bar, ono cupful of milk, two squnrcs of chocolate melted, one und one-half cupfuls of flour sifted with three tenspoonfuls of baking pow der. Steam ono nnd ono-hnlf hours nnd servo with Foamy Sauce. Boat ono egg, nihl into cupful of powdered sugar mixed with two tablospoonfuls of softened i-tittcr, a pinch of salt and a little flavoring I then fold In ono cupful of whipped cream.

ORIGINAL DESIGNS IN COOKERY To the artist cook who really en joys mixing Ingredients, as a painter does his colors, there Is no limit to the tasty, de lightful dishes which one may originate or en lnrge upon, with the materinls at hand. Take for instance a steaiued plum pudding. A piece of corn llread, a half a cupful of cooked oatmeal, a few bread crumbs, a cupful of left-over cocoa and a few raisins with two egg yolks left from a frosting or dessert will make a most tasty pudding. After some experience In handling foods one may concoct .toothsome dishes of bits of left-overs. It Is not always wise to tell all oue knows as to a dish, for some conscientious objectors will re fuse to even try a made-over or re-arranged food. Savory salads which have some elu sive aroma and sensonlng which adds to their charm nnd Is hard to deter mine, makes such a dish "fliinethlng different." One must follow n few fundamental principles In cookery, and after Mint lot the Imagination soar. The cook who wastes nothing, but nt the same time serves her food In n dainty, tasty and appetizing manner, Is n real genius, and her talents aro In constant demand. Do you throw away the half-cupful, cupful or more of melted Ice cream that might make a pudding for the next day or be used In a cake, adding less sugar? Sandwich filling and salads make a wide field for original designs, as well ns flour mixtures. The woman who discovered that a sponge cake could be made more fetching by nddlng the yolks unbeaten, one at a time, nnd not stirring them very freely, imd a cake that attract ed much comment because of Its streaked gold-and-wliite appearance. Accident often is the mother of new things, but the housewife who is look ing for new and pleasing effects will find, them all the while. I V The nrt of cooking cannot be learned out of n book any more flian the art of swimming or the art of 'painting. Tho best teacher Is practice; the best guide sentiment (providing you have any). FOOD COMBINATIONS. There Is no law which governs the foods that go well together, for the kind of f o o d served depends upon whether you are an oriental or a Bostonian. The tastes of a people determine the food combina tion. It It) a study which id both a science nnd an art We may seem to thrvo on one kind of food, but we find, that where two or three are. served they digest better and are better ablo to keep up tho body activities. If we treat the bodytas a well regulated fur nace which Is fed at intervals, not stuffed with the dny's allowance which will choke the fires through Imperfect combustion, we will be Intelligent In the choice and care of food. If we overeat we waste good fuel, and overwork the furnnce; If we are undernourished the furnnce cannot give off heat or supply energy. The three food principles which wo find supply the body in the best pos sible manner are proteins, meat, fish, eggs and milk, fats which are obtained from butter, cream nnd nuts, carbohy drates or sugars and starches repre sented by potntoes, rice and sugnr. To see that these three foods are In cluded In each meal wo havo what Is culled a well-balanced meal. If they are served in good proportions. In each meal we have another re sponsibility to see that foods contain ing Iron, phosphorus nnd calcium are given as well as some which furnish thf roughage or ballast necessary to glvr bulk to the food. Fruits which excite the appetite are used first, as fresh fruit for breakfast anil sweets are used as a finish, or des sert, ns sugar dulls tho apetlte; a good reason for never giving children sweets Just before a meal, a practice far too common among mothers. Somo people aro sensitive to certain foods or combinations which others enjoy with comfort; this is owing to some peculiarity of the body machine; of course these things should be avoid ed. Happy the man nnd woman who Is normal and Is able to eat. digest, ass'mllate nnd enjoy nil the good things provided by our nllwlso Creator. Tho menu mnker needs to know her family, to recognize the value of vari ety, and yet not to overdo It, for we all are faithful to the old favorites. 320 Acres 320 Acres 320 Acre OIL OIL OIL 820 acres right In thn heart ot the latest big strike In Butler County, Kansas.
