CHAPTER IV Continued.
In tho intensity of my feelings I
must liavo unconsciously spoken
aloud, for n shaggy head suddenly
popped out from tho berth beneath
where I lay, and Haley's Interested
voice asked Bollcltously:
"Ily, thnr; whut's up, mate? Ye
was mutterln' 'way Minr an' not dls
tnrbln' mo none, till yo got tcr talkln'
'bout sum feller called Sanchez. Then
I sorter got n bit Interested. I know'd
iiitv tuaa unci," anu no spat, vr.
thongh to thus better express his
feelings. "Tho d d ornnry pirate."
I laughed, my w!ip!& mental mood
chnnged by this jiark.
"Do you refer to 'Black Sanchez?'
I'vo henrd of him; were you over In
bis hands?"
"Wus II" ho laughed grimly. "I
bed eight months of it, mate, and n
greater demon never nailed. Tho
tilings I saw dono yo'd never believe
no human bcln' could do. If ever thar
mis two pcoplo in ono skin, sir, it's
thet Dlack Sanchez. When he's playln'
off fer good he's as soft nn' sweet
as a dandy In Piccadilly, an' when
he's real bo's like a devil in hell."
"Were yon ft prisoner or did you
all under him?"
"Both, fer tho matter o thet. lie
give me tho choice ter servo er walk
the plank. I wus eighteen, an' hed
an o' mother nt Deal."
"I see; but later got away?"
"Ay, I did thet," chuckling over the
recollection. "But I bed tcr wait
eight months for the luck."
"I had n shlpmato once," I observed,
Interested In his story, "who claimed
to have seen the fellow; he described
him ns being u very large mnn, with
Intensely black, hawklike eyes nnd a
heavy black beard almost hiding his
face."
i "Mnybo ho looked like that when ho
5nw him, but bo ain't no bigger man
thnn I am; ho won't weigh as much
by fifteen pound. Fact Is ho mighty
seldom looks the same, fer thct's part
3' his game. I've seen him in nil sorts
o' disguises. It's only his eyes ho
fan't hide, an' thnr's been times when
I thought they wus the ugliest eyes
ever I saw. lie's sure an ornnry devil,
m' when ho gits mad. I'd rather ho
afront of a tiger. Besides flghtln's his
trnde, an' no wenklin' ain't goln' ter
control tho sort o' chaps bo's got ter
handle. Most of 'cm would murder
him in a minute if they dared. Oh,
he's bad nil right, but ycr wouldn't
oxnetly think so, Just tcr look nt him."
"What, then, docs ho really look
like?"
"Oh, n sorter ewashbucklln' Spanish
don tho kind wliut likes tcr dress up
nn play tho dandy. Ue's got a pink
nn' whlto complexion, tho Cnstlllan
kind, yet know, nn' wears a llttlo mus
tache, wared up at tho ends. I heard
he wus nbout forty-flvo; I reckon ho
must be thet, but ho didn't look older
thnn thirty."
Haley dropped oft to sleep, but my
mind continued to wander until it con
jured up onco ngaln this West Indlnn
pirate. His nurao and tho story of
his exploits had been familiar to mo
ever slnco I first went to sea. Whllo
only ono among mnny operating In
thoso haunted waters Ills resourceful
ness, daring and cruelty had won him
nn infamous reputation, a nnmo of
horror. In thoso days, when tho curse
of piracy mado tho sea a terror, no
ordinary man. could ever havo suc
ceeded In attaining such supremacy
In crime.
Block Sanchez nnd Haley pictured
him as a dandified, ordinary appear
ing individual, with whlto and red
complexion, n small mustache and
flashing dark eyes a mere Spanish
gallant, without special distinction.
Why, that description, strangely
enough, fitted almost exactly this fel
low on board, this other Sanchez.
. Tho suspicion which had crept Into
my mind was so absurd, so unspeak
ably silly nnd Impossible that I
laughed at myself nnd dismissed tho
crazy thought. Chuckling over It I
finally fell asleep.
CHAPTER V.
The Namur of Rotterdam.
Tha brig, with all Balls set find fn.
rored by a strong wind, drew rapidly

In toward tho point of landing. The
great majority of tho prisoners re
mained on deck, chained together and
helpless, yet surrounded by armed
guards, while tho few who had nlready
been purchased by passengers hum
bly followed their now masters ashore
the moment the gangplnnk touched
tho soil of Virginia. Thero were five
of us altogether thus favored, but I
was tho only ono owing alleglnnec to
nogcr Fairfax. The rude landing
wharf along which we lay was already
densely crowded. Altogether It was
a bustling scene, full of change and
color, the air noisy with shouting
voices, tho lino of wharves filled with
a number of vessels, either newly ar
rived or preparing to depnrt. It was
with no small dltllculty we succeeded
In forcing our way through this Jos
tling throng until we attained to nn
open space ashore. I followed closely
behind the three composing our party,
Itoger Fairfax nnd Sanchez, with tho
laughing girl between them for pro
tection. Fairfax was evidently well
known to n number present, for he
wns being greeted on nil sides with
hearty handshakes and words of wel
come.
Wo boarded the Fairfax sloop. Tho
baggage was transferred. I worked
with tho Fairfax servants and it cut
my pride to the quick. Out In the boy
I was sent to tho wheel.
Tl ntlnHint- anil ntmnnmj winn
1-r.at surface of waters, not oven n fish
erman's boat, tho only other vessel
vlslblo along our course being n dim
outline close In against that far-away
headland toward which I had been In
structed to steer. I stared at this ob
ject, nt first believing It u wreck, but
finally distinguishing the bare masts
of a medium-sized hark, evidently rid
lng nt anchor ouly a few hundred
yards off shore.
Tho Spaniard presently pointed out
to Fairfax tho position of tho bark.
"Surely n strange place in which to
anchor, Lieutenant," said Falrfar.
"Bark rigged and very heavily sparred.
Seems to bo all right. What do you
moko of the vessel?"
Tho Spaniard twisted his mustartio
but exhibited little interest, although
his gaze was upon tho craft
"Decidedly Dutch, I should say," ho
answered slowly. "Tho beggars seem
qulto at homo there, with all their
washing out. Not a usual anchorage?"
"No, nor a particularly safe one.
Trnvers' place Is beyond tho bend.
"I Had Eight Months of It, Mate."
We'll put up with him tonight. D n
me, Sanchez, I bellevo I'll hnll the
fellow and find out what ho Is doing
In there."
Sanchez nodded, cnrelessly striking
flint and steel In nn effort to relight a
cheroot.
Wo camo about slowly. Tho dls
tanco to bo covered was not great, and
in less than ten minutes wo were
drawing In toward tho high stern of
tho anchored vessel.
No evidence of Hfo appeared on
board, although everything looked
shipshape nlow and aloft, nnd a rather
extensive wash flapped In tho wind
forward, bespeaking n generous crew.
A moment later my eyes made out tho
name pnlntcd across tho stern Nu
mur of Rotterdam.
Fairfax leaned far out across tho
rail as wo swept In closer, but the
Spaniard exhibited no particular In
terest In tho proceedings. A hundred
feet distant I hold tho dancing sloop
to mere steerage-way, whllo Falrfar
hailed.
A red-faced man with a black beard
thrust his head up above tho after
rail and answered, using English, yet
with n faint accent which wns not
Dutch.
"Wo ran down to eeo If you wero
In any trouble. This Is a Btrnngo
plnco to anchor. What are you
Dutch?"
Tho fellow waved his hands In a
gesturo Indicating disgust.
"Dat's cot. Ve're ov Rotterdam
.mmmj
you see zo nnme ov ze sheep. But
vo not Ball frum thnr dls time no.
Vo cum hero from zo Bnrbadocs," he
explained brokenly, "wlz cano sugar
an' hides. Vo valt here for our agent."
"But why nnchor In a place like
this? Why not go on up to tho
wharves?"
"Vyo not? For rlz I no trust my
crew nshore. Zny Vest Indy niggers,
an' vud run uvay ven zo chanco cum.
I know vat zay do."
In spite of my efforts tho two ves
sels were drifting rapidly apart. Dor
othy appeared at tho door of tho
cabin and stood there gazing In sur
prlso nt tho bark, while the moment
lie caught sight of her Sanchez went
hastily forward, removing his hat with
so peculiar a flourish as ho approached
as to cause mo to notice tho gesture.
Fairfax waved his hand to mo to
resume our course. Shortly nfter ho
crossed tho deck to the wheel. Thero
he stood watching tho bnrk for some
time.
"What do you make of her, Car
lylo?" ho asked finally. "I bellevo tbnt
fellow lied."
"So do I. sir." I answered nrnmnMr.
"Whntevor elso ho may be, he's no
peaceful Dutch trader. That fellow
got his accent from south Europe. If
ho wns loaded with cano sugur nnd
hides for market he wouldn't bo near
ly so high out of water. That bark
was In ballast or I miss my guess. Be
sides if ho was a trader where was
his crew? I tell you the men on bonrd
that hooker had orders to keep down."
"I believe you nro right," ho admit
ted frankly. "There is something
wrong there. I'll tell Travers nnd
havo him send a runner overland to
glvo warning below."
CHAPTER VI.
'I i!S'
The Mysterious Salf.
Wliero I leaned nlono against the
rail my eyes followed tho Spaniard In
doubt and questioning, nor could X
entirely banish from mind Hnley's de
scription of that buccaneer bearing
similar name. Yet, In splto of my un
conscious desire to connect theso two
together, I found It simply Impossible
to nssoclato this rather soft-spoken, ef
fcmlnato dandy with that bloody vil
lain. It wns nlready qulto dusk when we
finally drew In besldo Trovers' wharf
and mado fast. Our approach had
been noted and Trovers himself a
whlte-hnlred, white-bearded man, yet
still henrty and vigorous, attired In
white duck wns on the end of tho
dock to greet us, together with nu
merous servants of every shado of
color, who immediately busied them-'
selves toting luggngo up tho steep
path leading townrd tho house, stand
ing conspicuous nmid a grovo of trees
on tho summit of tho bank. The oth
ers followed, four fellows lugging with
dltllculty an Iron-bound chest, the two
older men engaged In earnest conver
sation, thus leaving Sanchez apparent
ly well satisfied with tho opportunity
nlono to assist the girl.
Except to render tho sloop com
pletely secure for the night, there re
mained little work for us to perform
on board. The four of us passed tho
early evening undisturbed smoking nnd
talking together. So tho time passed
quickly, nnd It must havo been nearly
midnight before we brought out blan
kets from tho forecastle and lay down
In any spot wo chose on deck.
It was a fair, calm night, but moon
less, with but llttlo wind stirring, nnd
a sllghfhnzo in tho nlr, obscuring tho
vision. The others must have fallen
asleep Immediately. At last, despair
ing of slumber, nnd pcrchnnce urged
by some premonition of danger, I
arose to my feet nnd moved silently
aft.
My startled. eyes caught n glimpse
of n speck of whlto emerging from the
black shadows the spectral glimmer
of n small sail. Tho strange craft
swept past, so far out that thoso on
board no doubt bcllovcd themselves
beyond Bight from tho shore, heading
apparently for a point of land, which
I vaguely remembered ns Jutting out
to tho northward.

He gains the upper hand, vic
tory seems assured, and then
but read about It for yourself In

(TO 1113 CONTINUED.)
Bad for Discipline.
"I understand thero's n tendency to
drop 'Aye, aye, sir,' In tho navy."
"That would ucver do." "Of courso
not. It's ono of the traditions of tho
service. If that sort of thing woro
encouraged it wouldn't bo long beforo

admiral." Birmingham Age-Herald.
Use for Broken Glass.
Thero Is a uso even for broken
glass. Somo of It Is ground into fine
powdcrllko particles and used for va
rious purposes. Somo is melted and
mads Into new glass ebjecti.
To Utilize Embroidered Monograms.
Take the embroidered Initial rr
monogram from old bolster and pillow
cases and use them on new slip. Cut
letter from old slip, leaving a three
Inch square mound It (letters fur bed
linen arc usually two lncho-0, then cut
the material to form an oval leaving a
small margin to turn under. Sew to
tho new slip, then outline with em
broidery cotton to conceal stitches.
Outline another row one-fourth of an
inch from the first and work eyelets
at Intervals between the rows to form
a medallion. The result is even pret
tier tlKin when llrst embroidered.
Turning a Dress Skirt.
If a skirt has become faded or soiled,
It can often be turned to good advan
tage. First, clean It us thoroughly as
possible. Ulp one seam, turn ami
baste carefully before ripping another.
If there are plaits refold, following
tho old creases, making what wns for
merly tho wrong side tlio right. If the
skirt is a good hanging one. any home
dressmaker can do the work satisfac
torily, for It Is not nearly so dllllcult
a task as to make a new one. One
seam at a time Is a much better way
than to rip all the seams apart before
beginning to baste.
When Sewing Taffeta.
Uso a thin, line needle for sowing
tnlTeta. The blunt end of a needle long
used Is liable to pucker the goods, and
too stitches will not bo even. A heav
ier needle may' be used In sewing
China silk.
To Sharpen Scissors.
Cut them rapidly on the neck of a
smnll gluss bottle, or bettor still, on a
ground glass stopper. It trues the
edges and mnkes them cut like new.
Take n lino file and sharpen ench
blado, being careful to keep the same
Neatness in Frocks for Children
7h1 i Vl - irr:r V1
Will "rcr""! v- ;v
The drc-M's brought out by manu
facturers of children's clothes this sea
son ought to be u great help to moth
ers. Neatness Is characteristic of the
new designs and neatness Is tho llrst
thing that mothers must tench their
llttlo ones. Llttlo girls acquire good
taste In dress unconsciously and tho
responsibility of cultivating it rests on
tho mother. Sho will bo safe In se
lecting the clothes turned out by spe
cialists In children's wear for her llttlo
ones If she doubts her own gifts nnd
Intuitions in tho selection of frocks.
A frock for tho times when our llttlo
miss must "dress up" Is shown at tho
left of the plcturo above. It Is mndo
of swIss organdie, ns crisp and fresh
as snow. A wide hem nnd eight pin
tucks nbovo It speak for tho attention
given tho skirt, whllo tho bodice re
joices in bretellcs of nnrrow swIss em
broidery nt each sldo and n "V" at tho
front filled In with plain organdie with
tiny pearl buttons nt each side. The
embroidery outlines tho neck, nnd a
little, prim bow of ribbon cnlls atten
tion to It. This same ribbon mnkes a
pretty sash that will complete the Imp
plness of tho very young lady who Is
to wear It and help touch her to ho
careful of her finery.
At tho right of tho plcturo a new
model for n very llttlo girl shows a
quaint frock with batiste body and
glnghnm skirt. Thero Is not much to
say of It, except that It Is pretty and
cool looking, for tho plcturo tells all
Its Blmple story. Tho squnro pockots
aro cut on tho bins of the goods and
havo n brfrder of batiste at tho top.
Often plain chambray is used Insteud
angle us they had nt first; file till
rough places are all taken out. Put n
little oil on tho edges of the blades
and snap together. Then wipe off all
the oil.
When Stitching Seams.
When stitching heavy white cotton
or linen, rub the seam to be stitched,
with hard white soap, and the needle
will not cut the material.
To Prevent Pricking the Fingers.
One accustomed to doing needlework
of any kind Is aware of the discom
fort caused by the needle pricking tho
linger which holds the underside of
the clith. This can be prevented If tho
worker will moisten a small strip of
couit plaster and stick It on the end
of the finger.
To Freshen Oriental Runs.
A mixture of borax, ammonia nnd
water Is excellent nnd will not Injure !
the rugs. To one pint of water add
two tahlespoonfuls of powdered borax
nnd one tnblcspoonful of ammonia,
stirring well. Apply while the water I
Is warm with a small brush, rubbing I
against the nap. When the entire rug
has been gone over wipe In the sumo

this treatment the rugs will be silky,
clear and with a better sheen. This
was told by a native rug dealer.
Demand for WaUtcoats.
The demnnd for waistcoats has al
most completely submerged the sep
arate collar vogue that has. been such
a feature of the coat suit.
Belgian Blue Is Popular.

Feather stitching Is more liked" for fin
ishing theso little frocks than hem
stitching. Bead Work.
All kinds of bend work Is so much
In vogue that amateurs will hall with
delight any suggestions. To havo
gooil results proper tools must bo on

crewel needles. Uso fine linen thread

goods, such ns lawn, on tho wrong

solid work, so It will not pucker.
Sprend beads out on n soft whlto
cloth for dark bends, and the light
ones on n dart surface, then work
only in n good light, not facing It.
Do not work until tired nnd restless.
It will not pay.
Alwayo the Sash.
Tho summer dress, whether of silk
or cotton, hns n sash, which may bo of
wide or narrow ribbon, or of soft
crushed sntln. It may nssumo tho form
