, ,"I guess modern pirates use the ca
ble," laughed Ewan, stopping a demon'
tratlon. "You youngsters had better
pile on deck and keep a aharp lookout
for treasure ships."
The twins departed, still arguing the
question of to cable or not to cable,
and, lighting a cigar, Evan gave mm
elf over to wondering why Alice had
tot waited to bid him. goodby. She had
half promised that sue would be on
hand to wish him good luck on his first
piratical adventure. It was not like
her to break her word.
He was still lost In thought when the
teward came In to set the table for
lunch.
"Beg pardon, sir," he asked, "shall I
act a place for the liulyf
"Have the boys been telling you
about their captlveT" laughed Ewan.
"I supposed that captives on pirate
ships were fed on bread and water."
"The young lndy In the cabin, sir, the
one the young gentlemen were telling
you about, sir."
. "There's no young woman In the cab
In," denied Ewan. "It's a part of their
make believe."
i "I thought you knew, sir," persisted
the steward. "There's a lady In that
cabin."
i Hoffman made two steps to the door
Indicated and threw It open. There on
die bunk lay Alice Cutler bound hands
and feet and with a towel across her
mouth. It was the work of a moment
to release her, but It was 8 re minutes
before her Hps permitted her to speak.
I "Don't mind," she smiled as she lis
tened to Ewan's horror stricken expla
nations. "I Imagine that the boys took
their piracy too seriously. It was all
done so suddenly that I could not help
myself, but I was sure that yon would
find it out when you came on board."
"And to think," he groaned, "that I
was sitting In the cabin all the fore
noon, and you were lying here suffer
ing." : "It wasn't "so very bad," she concil
iated, "and the boys were so full of
their cruise that you really cannot
blame them. I hope yon will not pun
ish them."
"Punish them!" he echoed savagely.
"If they are going in for this sort of
piracy they should be strung up at the
yardarm." .";
I With a whoop the boys came turn
bung down me compaulonway. As
their glance fell upon their captive
they Jumped upon their uncle and be
gan to pummel him. ,V''S.
;"It ain't fair," protested Gordon, "to
let the captives out , They might ran
away." . " , , ' ,
For 4 moment Ewan straggled with
a desire to fight back, then be caught
Alice's eye, and bo contented himself
with grasping the collars of two sapor
Jackets and bringing me twins In front
fl'll give yon a dollar apiece aa ran
som," he said sternly. "Not a cent
more." i .,. ... ,.
,You canha verier," they chorused.
"Give up the dollar." ,
Payment was made, and Hoffman
sent word to the mate to head for
home, to the great dismay of the
twins, but on this point Ewan and
Alice were agreed. ,
The sun was just sinking in the west
as the Mona, renamed the Scourge,
came in sight of home. From the
bridge Alice and Ewan watched the
landmarks loom up, while the twins,
with Ewan's best binoculars, watched
at the stern for pursuers.
"It is too bad to bring the cruise to
such a sudden termination," she smiled.
"It Is too bad to have to return to
the real," he supplemented. "For the
last four hours you have been my cap
tive and now"
"And now?" she prompted.
"The situations are reversed. I have
been your captive ever since I came
down here."
"Then you were a very unbusiness
like pirate," she laughed softly, "to
ransom me."
"Why?" he demanded.
"Because," she whispered, "you had
only to ask and"
Ewan asked.
The next cruise of the Scourge will
be a honeymoon trip.
How Ther Got I'p Row.
At one of the English country Inns
Hook and Mathews once got up a mock
quarrel before a large company. The
wit and the comedian each appealed
most earnestly to the sympathy of the
company, who, with the true British
predilection for anything In the shape
of a row, eagerly espoused the side of
one or other of the champions. The
contest proceeded, and Hook's cool In
vectives, we are told, grew more and
more cutting and the gesticulations of
Mathews more wild and extravagant.
Blows followed, and the partisans, full
of gin and valor, soon followed the ex
ample of their principals. A general
melee succeeded. Candles were knocked
out, tables and chairs overthrown, the
glasses "sparkled on the boards," and
in the midst of the confusion, just in
time to avoid the arrival of the police
and the impressive denouement, the
promoters of the riot, unobserved, ef
fected their escape, leaving their excit
able adherents to compute at leisure
the amount of damage done to their
persons and property and to explain, If
possible, to a magistrate In the morn
ing the cause and object of the combat
