CHAPTER XII Continued.
Ho glanced about warily, lowering
bis toIco until It beenmo a bourse
whisper.
"Tbreo years, mate, nnd most of tbnt
tlmo has been bell. I haven't even
been ashore, but once, nnd that wns
on an Island. These fellows don't put
any trust In my kind, nor glvo them
any chance to cut und run. Onco In
awbllo a lad does get nwny, but most
of them uro caught; und tboso that uro

"Llko most of tho rest. I W09 sec

brig. Tbcso fellows overhauled us nt
daybreak nbout it hundred miles off
tho east end of Cuba. Our skipper was
Scotch, and ho put up some light, but
It wasn't any use. There wns only
three of us left allvo when tho pirates
camo aboard. Ono of tbcso died two
dnys later, and another was washed
overboard nnd drowned down In tho
Gulf. I am all that Is left of tho
Itnngcr."
"You saved your Hfo by tnklng on?"
"Sanchez bad tho two of us, who
were nblo to at nnd, back in his cabin,
lie put It to us straight. lie said It
was up to us whether wo signed up or
walked tlio plank; and be didn't ap
pear to enro a damn which we chose."
"And you finy others of this crew
have been obtained in tho same man
ner?" I questioned, deeply Interested,
and perceiving in this a ray of hope.
"Not exactly no, I wouldn't pre

now who'd cut your thront for n sov

"A hundred? Is thcro thnt mnny

"A hundred an' thirty all told. Most

dnllormcn, but Just cut-throats, nn' sea
wolves. Ycr ought tor seo 'em swarm
out on deck, like hungry rats, when
thar's n fight comln'. It's nil they'ro
good fer."
"Watklns," I said soberly, after n
pauso during which he spat on tho
dirty deck to thus better express bis
feelings, "do you mean to say that In
tbreo years you've had no chance to
escnpo? No opportunity to got nwny?"
"Not n chance, mate; no more will

"Only this, Watklns. I've got to do
something, and believe I can trust you
It's not my life I'm thinking ubout,
but that of a woman."
"A woman I Not tho one brought
aboard last night?"
"Exactly; now listen I'm going to
tell you my story, nnd nsk your help.
My namn Is not Gates, and I am not

nnd who wns thrown over the rail by

detail. Then I suld :
"I bavo no plan ; to become n mem
ber of the crew wan my only thought.
But I must net, if nt all, before the
captain recovers. IIo would recognize
me nt sight. You will aid, advise
mo?"
"That is easier to nsk tbnn answer,
mato," bo admitted finally. "I am nn
English seaman, und will do my duty,
but, so far ns I can see, there Ifl no
plnn wo can mnkc. It Is God who will
snvo tho girl, If sho Is to be saved. He
may uso us to that end, but It Is
wholly beyond our power to accom
plish It alone. Tho only thing I enn
do Is to sound nut tho men aboard, nnd
learn Just what wo can expect of them
If any opportunity to act comes. There

keep quiet. If you can let her know
of your presence nbonrd It might bo

thing to betray you. There nro other
reasons why It may bo best for her to
know she Is not entirely deserted."
IIo leaned over, motioning mo
toward him, until his lips wcro at my
enr.
"It may not prove ns hopeless ns It
appears now," ho whispered confiden
tially. "I helped carry Sanchez to his
stateroom, und washed und dressed his
wound. Thcro la no surgeon nbonrd.
IIo has n bnd cut, und Is very weak
from loss of blood. Tho question of
our success hinges on Pedro Estudn.
This 1b a cbnnce be has long been
waiting for. The only question Is, bns

nlone, but LoVere Is with him, nnd
that half-breed would cut tho thront
of bis best friend. You understand?
tho death of Sanchez would mnko

"But," I Interposed, "In that case
what would tho crew do?"
"Accept Estada, no doubt; at lenst
tho cut-throats would bo with him, for
bo Is of their sort. But Sanchez's
death would savo you from discovery,

A mnrllng-splko pounded on tho
scuttle, and Unities' voice roared
down.

CHAPTER XIII.
I Accept a Proposal.
I went on deck with tho watch, nnd
mingled with them forward. A Portu
guese boatswain set me at polishing
tho gun mounted on the forecastle. I
was busily at work on this bit of ord
nance, when Estnda camo on deck for
a moment. The fellow chanced to ob
servo me.
"Yon must bo a pretty tough bird,
Gates," bo said roughly, "or I would

Something about his volco and man

roughness, bo wns not In bad humor.
"That would hnvo been a mlstako,

In band, "for It would hnvo cost you a

"You know West Indian waters?"
"Slightly; I uiado two voyages to
Panumu, and one to Havana."
"And speak Spunlsh?"
"A little bit, sir, as you see; I learn
languages easily."
Ho stared straight Into my face, but
without uttering another word, turned j
on bis heel nnd went below. I had tin-
lsbcd my labor on the enrronado, and
was fastening down securely tho tar
paulin, when a thin, stoop-shouldered
follow, with n bang-dog fuce crept up
tho bidder to tho poop, and shuffled
over to LeVere.
"Mister LoVere, sir."
"Well, what Is it, Gunsnules?"
"Senor Estada, sir; he wishes to see
a sailor named Gates In the cabin."
"Who? Gates? Oh, yes, the, new
man. He swept bis eyes ubout, until

ho saw me. "Follow tho steward be
low; Senor Estada wishes to seo you
go Just as you are."
"Very good, sir."
Tho fellow led mo away. Thcro
was no ono in tho main cabin. I fol
lowed tho beckoning steward who
rapped with his knuckles on oue of
tho sldo doors. Estada's volco an
swered. I stepped Inside, doubtful enough
of what all this might mean, yet
qulto prepared to accept of any
chanco it might offer. Estada sat up
right lu tho chair gazing straight at
me, his own fnco clearly revealed In
tho light from the open port, njs
faco was swarthy, long and thin, with
hard, set lips under a long, Intensely
blnck mustache, his cheeks strangely
crisscrossed by lines. Tho noso was
large, distinctively Bomau, yielding
him a hnwkllke appearance, but it
was bis eyes which fascinated mo.
They were dark nnd deeply set, abso
lute wells of cruelty. I bad never
before seen such eyes in the faco of a
human being; they were beastly, dev
ilish; I could feel my blood chill as I
looked Into their depths, yet I held
myself erect and waited for the "man
to spenk. Then bis lips curled In
what was meant to be a smile, no i
urose, stepped quietly to the door nnd
glanced out, returning apparently sat
isfied. "I don't trust thnt stoward," he
said, "nor, ns n mntter of fnct, unyonc
elso wholly." He paused nnd stared at
me, then ndded: "I've never had any
faith In your race, Gates, but urn In
clined to use you. Every Englishman
Iever knew wns a liar und u sneaking
poltroon. I wns brought up to bate
the race and always have. I can't sny
that I llko you any better than the
others. I don't, for the matter of
that. But just now you can bo use

This is n business proposition, und it
makes no odds If wo hnto each other,
so the end is gained. How does that
sound?"
"Not altogether bad," I admitted.
"I hnvo been in some games of chance
before."
"I thought as much-" eagerly, "and
money bus tho sumo tfiiok however It
bo earned. You coulG too some?"
Carlyle see a chance to carry
through his wild plan to savo
Dorothy and himself, but thero
are many pitfalls In the way.
The chanco la a desperato one.
Shall ho take It? Carlylo can
see but one answer to the ques
tion. (TO BK CONTINUED.)

How to Care for Gloves.
There lire right and wrong ways of
putting on gloves. The right way does
not Injure them ; tbu wrong way weak
ens and tears the skin or fabric In a
very short time. Black kid gloves
should be kept In pnrnfllu or oiled pa
per. A black glove Is u white skin
painted. This paint will harden and
dry if not properly cared for. All
gloves should be kept nwny from snlt
or damp ulr ns much ns possible. They
should bo kept dry. but nwny from
beat. Tlmo nnd great care should bo
taken In putting them on the first
time, po that the scams may not bo
stretched.
Mending the Gloves.
Use cotton thread for mending tho
gloves, ns silk thread will cut the kid.
Do not use the over nnd over Btltch, ns
It always shows bo plainly. Take n
stitch on one side of the senm nnd
then a stitch on the opposite side, nnd
draw them togethor. This keeps the
regular senm Intact nnd conceals tho
fact that the glovo Is mended.
To Keep Evening Gloves Clean.
To keep evening gloves elenn In a
street cur or train draw a pair of
looso white silk or lisle gloves over the
kid. The outer gloves may bo easily
drawn off und slipped Into muff or
pocket.
Cut off the hand part of long gloves.
Gowns for Summer Afternoons
Thero Is n fnshlftn for wearing nn
ovcrBlIp of silk or satin that admits
of soverul overdresses to one under
sllp. It Is most convenient nnd eco
nomical, because, with one or two un
dcrsllps, one may achlovo a variety of
toilettes that will do duty for nftcr
noon nnd ovenlng wear. Satin slips
In black, navy blue, dark brown, or
gray prove their adaptability to over
dresses of printed georgette, voile and
similar fabrics nnd slips of plain or
shot tnffeta In light colors make tho
lovely foundations used In luce, net
and all tho other light colored sheer
dress stuffs. Besides bolng useful for
long overdresses tho dark slips aro
worn with hip-length and kneo-length
blouses or smocks.

seasou'B styles In tho picture above.
Nearly nil of them hnvo soft sashes
or easy girdles at tho waist line nnd
thero arc many very dainty lnces used
over the light colored slips. Voiles
and nets and crisp orgnndlo aro lovely
over them and seem to add distinction
to their dnlnty charm when worn over
black slips. Ono of those lace dresses
over a taffeta slip Is shown at tho left
of tho two models In tho picture. Tho

Many Designs for Fall.
The extreme novelties that tire bb-
lng featured lu the full clothing lines ,
should, In the opinion of manufactur
ers representatives, prove somewhat '
puzzling to the rotnller called upon to
make n selection. It was pointed out
thnt, after a dearth of variety during
the war, the change to extremo styles j
may turn out very disconcerting. With
the manufacturers already urging tlio
retail trade to be quick about their
selections und order plenty of mer
chandise the retnller faces a dllllcult
situation. Ho must decide on what ho
wants from a multitude of new and
novel designs.
Handkerchiefs.

conventional shades of lavender, pink,
