'The hilt of the knife in my belt at
tracted my attention, and I drew it
forth, curious to learn if it bore any
mark of ownership. My eyes were in
stantly attracted to a dark stain on
both hilj/and blade. I held it to the
light—it was the stain of blood, and
my hand.ywere also.reddened by it. In
that instant of horror I hurled
the ^nfion out through the .open port
Into the sea. Blond! There had beeti
murder committed on board, and the
fellow I had struck down was seeking
refuge, endeavoring to find conceal
ment following his crime. Ay, but
what alkout the light in the cabin? It
bad been extinguished after the flee

stateroom. Did this mean that the

the killing was not the result of u

Some conspiracy. I thought of San

Ihing. Estada lay in his bunk, with
one leg dangling outside, and his head
crooked against the side wall. His
very posture was that of sudden death,
even had it not been pictured by the
ghastly face, and the dark pool of
blood underneath. I heard an excla
mation from Le Vere and stood for an
instant utterly unable to move,. I
knew already what I should find, yet
finally forced myself forward—he was
stone dead, pierced with three knife
thrusts. I stood up and faced the
mulatto, whose countenance was fairly
green with horror.
“What do you know about this, Se-
nor LeVere?” I asked sternly. “The
man bus been murdered, knifed. Who
did It—and whyT”.
He could scarcely answer, gripping
at the table for supi>ort. and never re-
iii*>\ iug his gaze from the face of the
dead man. Yet-I believed his word*;
was convinced this was not the terror
of guilt.
“My <o»d! I cannot tell; I have

The buccaneers can be.secured below,
before these other lads ever realize
p <
what is happening. As soon as . we
have control of the ship we’ll round
them up forward. They won’t dare
face the guns. I’ll give them their
choice.” ’
“And what will you tell them, se-
nor?”
I caught my breath, conscious of
his meaning. My secret hope could
not be revealed to this fellow. The
answer came quickly to my. lips.
“The whole truth, Senor LeVere—
that Manuel conspired to seize the
bark through a mutiny of the bucca
neers; that these were to be turned
loose with license to kill anyone on
board who opposed Them; that

passed an ordinance forbidding
parking of automobiles on the pav'ed
x>rtion of Main street from the court :
aouse to the depot and the stopping
>f cars on any part of that section for
more than five minutes. A protest
igainst the enforcement of the ordi

mstomers who are in the habit of driv

their shopping. A petition signed, it
was said, by 90 per cent of the Main

council, but no action has been taken
to date looKing to a modification of the
law. It is quite likely that it will re

give it a thorough tryout.

Much enthusiasm was manifested at

Stop using calomel! It makes you
sick. Don't lose a day’s work. If you
feel lazy, sluggish, bilious or consti
pated; listen to me!
Calomel is mercury or quicksilver,
which causes necrosis of the bones.
Calomel, when it comes into contact
with sour bile, crashes into it, break
ing It up. Tills is when you feel that
awful nausea and cramping. If you
are “nil knocked out.” if your liver is
torpid and bowels constipated or you
have headache, dizziness, coated ton
gue, if breath is bad or stomach sour,
Just try a spoonful of harmless Dod-
Boit'b Elver Tone.
Here’s my guarantee—Go ^ any
drug store and get a bottle of Dodson’s
Liver TVme for a few cents. Take a
spoonful tonight, and if it doesn't

I can never Im*—no; I am of black

But I can hate, senor. That Is why
I am with you now, if the devil so
will. Your plan might work—tell me
more of it.”
“Whnt are the odds, say you—thirty
to a hundred? Ay, but surprise will
overcome that. My plan is this: First
to secure Manuel as quietly as pos
sible but at whatever cost. With him
in our hands, or dead, the buccaneers
have no leader. What then? There
are men in the crew on deck and in
the forecastle to be Trusted—^Vafkins

We will whisper the truth to those,
and have them ready for a signal. The
forward door from amidshjps is closed
by iron bars—is it not?”
“SI, senor," his eyes again sparkling
with interest. “The men quarreled,
and there was fighting.”
“Then there is no escape in that di
rection and It can be.no great tasie
to close any passage leading aft.
