CHAPTER it
HOW GREEBA WAS LEFT WITH
JASON
It was early summer and the day
was hot there had been three weeks
of drought and the roads were dusty
Adam walked with a stout blackthorn
ctlck his flaccid figure sometimes sway
ing for poise and balance and his snow
white hair rising- gently in the soft
breeze over his tender old face now
ploughed so deep with labor and sor
row Chaise wa3 driving his carriers
cart whereon lay all that was left of
Adams belonging save only what the
good man carried in his purse And
seeing how heavy the road was to one
ot Adams- years though his own were
hardly fewer poor old Chaise reck
ing nothing of dignity lost thereby
would have him to mount the shafts
and perch on the box behind the ponys
taiL But Adam thinking- as little of
pride said Nothat every herring should
hang by its own gills and the pony
bad Its full days work before it more
over that it was his right to walk at
bis awn expense now having ridden
twenty years at the expense of the isl
and So he kept the good blackthorn
moving and Greeba stepped along nim
bly by his side And -when the Castle
town coach overtook and passed them
on Its way to Tougtas and some of the
Harming folk whorode oa it leaned over
auclly and hailed Adam by his Chris
tian name he showed no shame or ran
cor until when the coach was gone
te caught a glimpse of the hot color
that had mounted to Greebas cheeks
Then without a word he turned his
mellow old face to his feet and strode
elong a good half mile in silence
And meantime Chaise thinking to
lighten the burden of the way with
cheerful talk rattled along in his crazy
screech on many subjects but found
that all came round by some strange
twist to the one subject that might not
be discussed Then looking at his po
ny he told of the donkeyhe had before
St the same that Michael Sunlocks rode
long years before how he himself had
fallen sick and could not keep It and
to a neigh
so gave it without a penny
bor for feeding it and how when he
got better he wanted to borrow it but
the neighbor in base ingratitude and
selfishness would not lend it without
pay
Faith its alwis lek that said ol
Chaise Give a man yer shirt and
ye must be lucky or hell be after axin
ye fer yer skin
When they came by Douglas Chaise
was- for skirting round by the Spring
Valley through Braddon but old Adam
seeing his drift would not pretend to
be innocent of it and said that if
therfe were -dregs -in -his-cup he was in
thway of draining them without mak
ing too many wry faces about it And
as for the people of the town if they
thought no shame to stare at him he
thought no shame to be stared at yet
thatwhat was good enough for him
selt might be so for one who had les
deserved It and Greeba could go with
Chaise by Braddon and they would
meet again on Onchan hill
Tpr this Greeba would not consent
and as it chanced there was little need
for when they got into Douglas the
town was all astir with many carriages j
and great troops of people were making j
for the quay so that no one seemed so j
much as to see the little company of
three that cameqovered with dust out
af the country roads
Aw bad cess what jeel is this
gaid Chaise and before they had cross-
ed the little market place by the har
bor where the bells of St Matthews
rang out a merry peal they learned for
certain the cause of the joyful commo
tion for there they were all but run
down by the swaying and surging
crowds that came shouting and cheer
ing by the side of an open carriage
wherein sat a very old gentleman In
tha uniform of a soldier It was as
AAam rind nlreadv divined the new
Governor General Colonel Cornelius
Smelt newly arrived that day in the
island as the first direct representative
of the English crown In succession to
ihetLords of Man And at that brave
aight old Chaise who jumbled In his
distraught brain the idea of Adams late
position with that of his master the
lmj of Athol and saw nothing but
Contlnned

Rachel Jorgenson was me only daugh
ter of the -governor 01 Iceland She fell
In lovo with and married an Idler Ste
phen Orry Her father had other hopes
to her and In his anger he disowned her
Then orry deserted her and ran away to
sea Of this union however a child was
orn and Rachel called him Jason Ste
phen Orry was neara rrom In the Isle of
that this gentleman in his fine rigging j
was come in Adams place and was
even now on his way to Castletown to
take possession of Government House
and that the bellowing mob that not a
month before had doffed their caps be
fore Adams face now showed him off
the pavement without seeing him
stamped and raved and shook his first
over the people as if he would brain
them
They slept a Onchan that night and
next day they reached Kirk Maughold
And coming on the straggling old house
at Lague after so long an absence
Adam was visibly moved saying hehad
humiliation the
seen many a since
days when he lived in it and might the
Lord make them profitable to his soul
but only let It please God to grant him
peace and content and daily bread and
there should be no more going hence
in the years that were left to him
At that Greeba felt a tingling on both
sides her heart for her fears were
many of the welcome that awaited
them
It was nigh upon noon and the men
were out in the fields but Mrs Fair
brother was at home and she saw the
three when they opened the gate and
came down under the elms
Now I thought as much she said
within herself and I warrant I know
their errand
Adam entered the house with what
cheer of face he could command being
hard set to keep back his tears and
hailed his wife in a jovial tone al
though his voice threatened to break
and sat himself down in his old seat
by the chimney corner with his black
thorn stick between his knees and his
hands resting upon it But Mrs Fair
brother made no answer to his greeting
and only glanced- from him to Greeba
who tripped softly behind him and
from Greeba to Chaise whocame sham
bling in after them vacantly scratching
his uncovered head Then drawing her
self up and holding back her skirts
she said very coldly while her wrin
kled face twitched
And pray what ill wind blows you
here
An ill wind indeed Ruth Adam
answered for it is the wind of ad
versity You must have heard of our
misfortune since the whole island now
knows of it Well it is not for me to
complain for God shapes our ways and
He knows what is best But I am an
old man now Ruth little able to look
to myself still less to another and
While he spoke Mrs Fairbrother
tapped her foot impatiently and then
broke in with
Cut it short sir What do you
want
Adam lifted his eyes with a stupefied
look and answered very quietly 1
want to come home Ruth
Home cried Mrs Fairbrother
sharply And what home if you
please
Adam sat agape for a moment and
then said speaking as calmly as be
fore What home Ruth Why what
home but this
This indeed Thi3 is not your home
said Mrs Fairbrother
Nt my home said Adam slowly
dropping back in his seat like ore
dumbfounded
Not my home Did you say that this
was not my home he said suddenly
bracing up Why woman I was born
here so was my father before me and
my fathers father before him Five
generations of my people have live1
and died here and the very roof raft
ers over your head must know us
Hoity toity cried Mrs Fairbroth
er and if you had lived here much
longer not a rafter of them all would
have been left to shelter us No sir
Ive kept the roof on this house an
it is mine
It is yours indeed said Adanr slow
ly for I gave it you
You gave it me cried Mrs Fair
brother Say I took it -as my right
when all you had was slipping through
your finsers like sand as everything
does that ever touches them
At that word old Adam drew himscf
up with a great dignity of bearing and
said
There is one thing that has indeed
slipped through my fingers like sand
and that is the fidelity of the womar
who swore before God forty and odd
years ago to love and honor me
Crinkleum crankum cried Mrs
Fairbrother A pretty thing truly
that I should toil and moil at my age
to keep house and home together ready
and waiting for you when your zany
doings have shut every other doo
against you Misfortunes indeed
fine name for your mistakes
I may have made mistakes madam
said Adam but true It is as the wise
man has said that he who has never
made mistakes has never made any
thing
Tush said Mrs Fairbrother
Ruth do you refuse to take me in
said Adam v
This house is mine said she mine
by law and deed as tight as wax can
make It
Do you refuse to take rhe in said
Adam again rising to his feet
You have brought ruin on yourself
by your shilly shally and vain folloy
said she and now you think to pat
your nose and say your prayers by my
fireside
Ruth said Adam once more do
you refuse to take me In
Yes and that I do said she You
would beggar me as you have beggared

yourself butthat I warrant you neve

CAPTAIN KIDDS OF TODAY
Then there was a grim silence for a - Pirates More Daring and -Fierce
Than Buccaneers of Old
moment Old Adam gripped
sively at the staff he leaned on and Nothing could be more erroneous than
all but as loud as the ticking of the to suppose that romantic crime was at
clock was the beating of his heart an end when pirates and buccaneers
God give me patience he said who swore frightful oaths wore stolen
Yes Ill bear it meekly Ruth he gold lace and carried daggers between
said huskily Ill- not trouble you their teeth were driven off the seas
Make yourself sure of that While There are thousands of Captain Kidds

Out on you woman Out on you

her fathers chair with eyelashes qulv 1
Though he flourishes best in the
ering and the fingers of both hands t
countries where white men govern
clenched together But now she step-
have the pirate at home
ped forward and said Forgive him
mother Do not be angry with him
He wilLbe sorry for what he has said
Im sure he will But only think dear
mother he is in great great trouble
and he is past work and if this is not
his home then he is homeless
And at the sound of that pleading
voice Adams wrath turned in part tc
tenderness and he dropped back to the
chair and began to weep
I am ashamed of my tears child
he said but they are not shed foi
myself Nor did I come herefor my
own sake though your mother thinks 1
did No child no say no more Ill
repent me of nothing I have said to hei
no not one word She is a hard a
cruel woman but thank heaven 1
have my sons left to me yet She is not
flesh of my flesh though one with me in
wedlock but they are and they will
never see their father turned from the
door
At that instant three of the six Fair-
brothers Asher Ross and Thurstan
came in from the stackyard with Iho
smell of the furze rick upon them that
they had been trimming for the cattle
And Adam without waiting to explain
cried in the fervor of his emotion This j
Is not you will Asher Whereupon
Asher without any salutation an
swered him I dont know what you
mean sir and turned aside
He has damned your mother said
Mrs Fairbrother with her morning
apron to her eyes and cursed the day
that he married her
But she is turning me out of th
house said Adam
fathers house
Ask her pardon sir Asher mut
tered and she will take you back
Her pardon God in heaven Adam
cried
You are an old man- now sir said
Thurstan
And you are poor as well
Thats true Thurstan thats true
though ycur brother forgets it
So you should not hold your head
oo high
What Are you on her side also
Asher Thurstan Ross you are my
sons would you see me turned out of
the house
The three men hung their heads
What mother says he must agree to
muttered Asher
But 1 gave you all I had said
Adam If I am old I am your father
and if I am poor you know best who
made me so
We are poor too sir we have noth
ing and we do not forget who is to
blame for it Thurstan growled
You gave everything away from
us grumbled Ross and because
your bargain is a rue bargain you want
us now to stand back of you
And Stean and Jacob and John com
ng in at that moment Jacob said yen
slyly with something like a sneer
Ah yes and who took the side of i
stranger against his own children
What of your good Michael Sunlocks
now sir Is he longing for you Of
have you never had the scribe of a line
from him since he turned his back o

FORTUNES FOR ADVENTURERS
Like the pirates of old they may
bury their treasure but they seldom
retire Their life is as fascinating to
them as the stage to an actor One of
the exceptions is a man living in Paris

This house my Heves in the army and in hanging
Dreyfusards The wonder of It is that
he is not a member of the chamber
of Deputies
If I were poor again I could make a
fortune in two years is one of his
little sayings All it requires is a
little spirit
Le Clerc who recently died was a
good example of the European adven
turer who is up to date Captain Kidd
led a humdrum life beside his It was
amazing that he lived to be 50 and that
he caried only four bullet wounds at
the time of his death By birth he was
a Belgian In his early voyages with
his father a traveling salesman he
learned most of the languages of Eu
rope and developed the tastes of the
wanderer His career as a grand ad
venturer was begun as a spy for the
Germans jn the Franco Prussian Avar
Toward the last he came near being
shot on the charge of playing both
sides for what they would pay him
Sir he said to Von Moltke I have
been the victim of an unfortunate chain
of circumstances It can easily be
proved if I am false to you I will
show you the weakest points in the
fortifications of paris which have been
constructed since Sedan If what T
say turns out to be untrue after you
have made an assault I submit His
information turned out to be correct
During the war La Clerc met a half
brained Russian who had a plan with
millions in it He proposed to fit out
an expedition for gold mining in north
ern China where rich placer deposits
are known to exist The pair got a
ship in Hong Kong and disembarked
at Vladivcstock in Russia The Rus
sian officials winked at their endeavors
They gathered up another hundred ad
venturers with the hundred they al
ready hud and started on their way
La Clerc had a great gift of talk and
he made friends with a mandarin who
told him td go ahead on the basis that
GO per cent of whatever he got was to
be turned in to the government the
government being the mandarin of
course The mandarin had a great
deal of gold and a great many precious
stones in his palace and Le Clercs
plan was to take him by surprise rob
him of all he had and leave the country
by forced marches The mandarins
idea was to make Le Clerc and his ad
venturers feel perfectly at home and
then massacre the foreign devils The
result was a bloody fight The Rus
sian was killed and so were most of Le
Clercs followers But Le Clerc man
aged to get to Vladlvostock alive tho
he had lost a piece of one of his ears
and been shot in the arm He had
enough gold with him to take him to
Constantinople whither he was at
tracted by the Russo Turkish war He
soon had made a contract to blow up
the whole Russian army by a plan of
his own some Belgian firm furnishing
the materials contrary to the laws of
neutrality The Sultan gave him the
necessary money and that was the
main point His explosives never reach
ad the Dardanelles and he got out of
Turkey in time to save his head
To tell the story of Ms life with any
detail would require a volume In his
time he was in all parts of Africa and
South America He was In the capital
of Madagascar when the French cap
tain arrived He bad furnished the
rebel with arms and the queen had
paid him for them He wept tears of
joy when he saw Colonel Duquesne
commander of the expedition He told
the general all his efforts had gone to
ward dissuading the rebels from mak
ing any fight and even spoke of sac
rifices he had made and dangers he
had incurred in Frances behalf
He went to Madrid during the late
war to see if he could not do some se
cret service work for the Spanish gov
ernment and died in his hotel there of
heart disease
INDIA SWARMS WITH BANDITS
India swarms with such adventurers
The governments secret service is kept
busy following up their deviceB and
bringing them to book The great am
bition of most of them is one day to
steal a rajahs crown jewels and they
dont mind risking their lives in the
attempt They smuggled in all of the
rifles that the Afridis had In the late
rebellion The Mad Fakir of Swat did
not have so much confidence in religion
as a weapon as not to be willing to
give 200 for a Martini rifle The pen
alty of smuggling rifles to the natives
is a long term of imprisonment Some
fellows were caught in the act of smug
gling while the rebellion was in pro-
gress and were shot for high treason
One of them was a discharged servant
of the British army with p good record
Smuggling brandy to the rajahs who
are not allowed by their religion to
dring intoxicating liquors is another
favorite trick One old potentate in
the far north of India had never tasted
brandy until it wps first put to his lip3
by a man who was a Scotchman by
birtli but a rascal in all his thoughts
The rajah liked it so well that he was
willing to pay any price to get it pro
vided the priests and his people did not
find him out The Scotchman promised
that they shouldnt and received a
present of a fine ruby for suggesting
that in a certain secret Rlace he would
always find a bottle of Scotch and for
every bottle brought he was to leave
200 rupees At this rte of profit and
with the old rajah consuming nearly
a bottle a day the Scotchman would
have become rich had not the rajahs
mother-in-law who was anxious to
have the rajah off the throne so as to
give his son a chance not granted the
Scotchman a subsidy to encourage the
old mans appetite
As a result the rajah lived only a
year then the Scotchman saw that not
himself but the mother-in-law had the
best of the bargain and cursed him
self for having killed the goose that
laid the golden egg just to please her
The old lady considered him such a
dangerous man that she did not think
he ought to live So as became an
oriental dame she told him that she
wished him all manner of health and
happiness and assured him that so
dear a friend would always be wel
come at court Then she gave orders
that the Scotchman be assassinated
but the assassin made a false move and
he escaped
SECRET OF PHILIPPINE REVOLT
The rebellion in the Philippines was
incited by the adventurers from Hong
Kong as a speculation They saw he
opportunity of embarrassing Spain
when she already had the rebilllon in
Cuba on her hands They furnished
Aguinaldo and his leaders with arms
and ammunition in promise of a share
of the loot if they succeeded and for
a share of the bribe money of the
Spaniards should settle with the lead
ers while they nominally granted re
forms in order to appease the poor
fools who were Aguinaldos followers
Spain chose to settle as we know
and the adventurers made a big stake
out of the bribe money They got it
direct from the Spaniards it is said not
being willing to trust Aguinaldo to de
liver It up Aguinaldo then went back
to Hong Kong with a fortune under
promise not to start another rebellion
which he broke at the first opportunity
Many of the adventurers in the Phil
ippines are Germans and Frenchmen
or those mongrel Europeans which are
a peculiar product of the continent The
Spaniard was an easy prey for them
They played an important part in the
efforts that Germany made to embar
rass our occupation of Manila If they
are driven out by the establishment of
a stable government they will go to
China or somewhere else where there
Is a chance to play the poacher or the
pirate
All the weapons which Menelek used
to defeat the Italians were furnished
by this same class some of whom were
Russians ard in direct employ of the
government They would unload hun
dreds of rifles on the shores of the Red
sea in a single night and the next
morning all would be gone Out of sight
on the desert mules and men that be
longed to Menelek and had been wait
ing for the vesstl were hurrying the
rifles on to 3Ieneleks camp All the
rifles and ammunition that the Der
vishes had in the battle of Omdurman
were smuggled The white men whe
speak the languages of the dark-skinned
scum of Port Said delivered these
materials on the shore of the Red sea
and received their pay from the wild
men of the desert who acted as mid
dlemen The Dervishes however had
such a bad reputation that few middle
men would take the risk For the kha
lifa was just as likely to cut off a
mans head who presented the bill as
ti pay it- He regarded all white men
as better dead and so he missed the
services of hundreds of adventurers
who would have made their way to him
if the chances of death and success
had been even
