CHAPTER XXXII Continued.
CO
Ilnines was evidently reluct nnt, but
allor enough to follow as I lowered
mvsoif in tlif deck, cliuirinc hard to
keep my footing on the wet Incline. A
light spar had lodged here, and by
making this a species of bridge, we
crept ns far as the companion, the door
of which was open, aud gained a view
of the scene below. It was a dismal
hole In the dim light, but presented no
obstacle to our entrance, and 1 led the
way down the stairs, gripping the rail
to keep from falling.
The door of the captain's room gave,
but It required our combined efforts to
Dress It open against the vokime of
water, slushing about within. For a
moment my eyes could scarcely recog
nize the various objects as I clung to
the frame of the door and stared blind
ly about in the gloom. Then slowly
they assumed shnpe and substance.
Screwed to the deck, the furniture re
tained its place, but everything else
was jammed lu a mass of wreckage, or
else floating about in a foot of water,
deepening toward the stern. There
were two chests in the room, one of
which I Instantly recognized as that of
Roger Fairfax. The sight of this made
me oblivious to all else.
"There's the chest we want, Haines
I cried, pointing it out. "Have the lads
back the boat up to this port ; then
come down and help me handle it."
"Yes. sir," his voice trembling, "but
hut isn't that a man over there in
the bunk? Good God. sir; look at
him!"
The white, ghastly face stared at us,
looking like nothing human In that
awful twilight. I actually thought .it
a ghost, until with desperate effort the
man lifted himself, clinging with gaunt
fingers to the edge of the bunk. Then
I knew.
"Sanchez! You! those cowards left
you here to die !"
"No one came for me," he answered,
choking so the words were scarcely in
telligible. "Who are you, and what
brought you here?"
"Ill tell you frankly, Captain
Sanchez," and I stepped closer. "We
risked coming aboard to save that
chest Roger Fairfax's chest before
It went down. This vessel has its
back broken, and may slide off into
deep water at any minute. We must
get you out of here first."
"Get me out !" he laughed hideously.
"To hell with your help. I want none
of it. I am a dead man now, and the
easiest way to end all will be to go
down with the ship 'twill be a fit
coffin for Black Sanchez. By God ! I
know you now Geoffry Carlyle?"
"Yes, but an enemy no longer."
"That is for me to say. 1 hate jour
race, your breed. The very sound of
your name drives me mad. I accept
no rescue from you I Damn you, take
your gold and go."
"But why?" I insisted, shocked at
the man's violence. "Is it because I In
terfered between you and Dorothy
Fairfax?"
"That chit; bah, what do I care for
her but as a plaything. No, my hate
runs deeper than that. How came you
here in the boat stolen from the Na
mur?" ! "No. Captain Sanchez. The day after
we left the ship we boarded a schooner
found adrift, the crew stricken with
cholera, with not a man left alive on
deck, or below. She lies yonder now,
the Santa Marie a slaver."
I "Merciful God !" and his eyes fairly
blazed into mine as he suddenly forced
his body upward In the bunk. "The
Santa Marie adrift! the crew dead
from cholera? And the captain Para
dilla, Francis Paradilla what of
him?"
I "He lay alone on a divan in the
cabin dead also."
I He tried to speak, but failed, his
fingers clawing at his throat When
he finally gained utterance once more
it was but a whisper.
"Tell me," he begged, "there was no
woman with him ?"
; "There was no woman," I said
gravely, "on deck or in the cabin."
"What mean you by saying that?
There was one on board I Doa't lie to
ine! In an hour I am dead but first
tell me the truth. Does the woman
live?"
i "No, she died before. We found her
body In a chest, preserved by some
devilish Indian art, richly dressed and
decked with Jewels."
"English?"
"I judged her so, but with dark hair
and eyes. You knew her?"
"In the name of all the fiends, yes.
And I know her end. He killed her
raradillu killed her because she was
as false to him as she had been to me.
Hi;ll ! Imt it is strange you should be
the one to find her to bring me this
tale. (icofTry Carlyle!"
"Why? What is it tome?"
"You go back to England and tell the
duke of Hucclough how his precious
sister died."
"His sister! Good God, you cannot
mean that woman was Lady Sara Car
lyle?" "Who should know better than I?"
sneeringly. "Once I was called In Eng
land Sir John CoIIInswood."
' He sank back exhausted, struggling
for treath, but with eyes glowing

hatred. 1 knew it all now, the dimly
remembered story coining vividly hack
to memory. Here then was the ending
of the one black stain on the family
honor of our race. On this strange
coast, three thousand miles from Its
beginning, the final curtain was being
rung down, the drama finished. The
story had come to me in whispers from
others, never even spoken nhout by
those of our race a wild, headstrong
girl, a secret marriage, a duel In the
park, her brother desperately wounded,
and then the disappearance of the
pair. Ten days later it was known
that Sir John Collinswood had de
faulted In a large sum but from that
hour England knew hint no more. As
though the sea had swallowed them
both, man and woman disappeared,
leaving no trace behind.
The face I gazed dumbly Into was
drawn and white with pain, yet the
thin lips grinned back at me In savage
derision.
"You remember, I see," he snarled.
"Then out of here, Geoffry Carlyle.
Leave me to die in peace. The gold Is
there; take it, and my curse upon It.
Hurry now do you hear the bark
grate on the rocks; It's near the end."
CHAPTER XXXIII.
Before the Governor.
The sound startled me; I Imagined
I heard the keel slipping, yet before we
had reached the door opening on deck
the slight movement ceased. My hand
gripped the frightened Haines.
"Tell them In the boat to do as I
said; then come back here."
"My God, sir, she's a goin' down."
"Not for some minutes yet. There
are thousands of pounds in that chest;
you've risked life for less many a
time. Jump, my man !"
The boat lay In close, bobbing up
and. down dangerously, yet held firmly
beneath the opened port. The box
was heavy enough to tax the strength
of two men to handle It, but of a size
and shape permitting its passage.
Sanchez had raised himself again, and
clung there to the" edge of the bunk
watching us.
"Now let down easy, lads," I called.
"No, place it amidships ; get It even, or
you go over, i lx it to ride steady, and
stand by we'll pass a wounded man
out to you !"
I stepped across to Sanchez. He saw
me coming, and drew back,' his ghastly
face like a mask.
"No you don't, Carlyle !" he snapped
angrily. "Keep your hands off me.
So you want me to die with my nck
in a noose, do you? I was born a gen
tleman, and, by God! I'll die like one
and go down with my ship. Get out of
here now! You won't? You will, or
else die here with me! I'll give you n
minute to make your choice."
He left no doubt as to his meaning.
From beneath the blanket, the black
muzzle of a pistol looked straight Into
my eyes. The hand holding-it was
firm, the face fronting me savagely
sardonic.
"I'd like to kill you, Carlyle," he
hissed hatefully. "By God, I don't
know why I shouldn't. Every time I
look at you I see her face. If you take
a step nearer I pull the trigger go!"
It was a hard pull back to the Santa
Marie. Dorothy greeted me first, and
we stood close together at the rail as
the men hoisted the chest on deck.
She said nothing, asked nothing, but
her hands clung to my arm, and when
ever I turned toward her our eyes met.
There was a sudden cry forward,
and a voice shouted:
"There she goes, buckles! That's
the last o' the Namur!"
I turned swiftly, my hand grasping
her fingers as they clung to the rail.
The battered hulk slid downward, the
deck breaking amidships as the stern
splashed Into the depths; then that
also toppled over, leaving nothing
above water except the blunt end of a
broken bowsprit, and a tangle of
wreckage tossed about on the crest
of the waves. I watched breathlessly,
unable to utter a sound ; I could only
think of that stricken man in the cabin,
those wild eyes which had threatened
me. He was gone now gone I
I yet held Dorothy's hand tightly
clasped In my own, and the depths of
her uplifted eyes questioned me.
"We will go aft, dear, and I will tell
you the whole story," I said gently,
for now we are homeward bound."
,
I write these few closing lines a year
later In the cabin of the Ocean Spray,
three master, full to the hatches
with a cargo of tobacco, bound for
London, and a market. Dorothv is on
deck, eagerly watching for the first
glimpse of the chalk cliffs of old
England. I must Join her presently,
yet linger below to add these final sen
tences. There Is, after all, little which needs
to be said. The voyage of the Santa
Marie north proved -uneventful, and,
after that first night of storm, the
weather held pleasant and, the sea
fairly smooth. I had some trouble with
the men, but nothing serious, as Wat
kins and Haines held as I did, and the
pledge of Dorothy's Influence brought
courage. I refused to open the chest,
believing our safety, and chance of
pardon, would depend largely on our

handing this over In good faith to the
authorities. Wntklns and I guarded
It night and day until the sehoone
rounded the cape and eatne Into the
Chesapeake. No attempt was made
to find quarters below, the entire crew
sleeping on deck, Porothy comfortable
on the Hag locker.
It was scarcely sunrise, on the fiftl,
day, when we dropped anchor against
the current of the James, our sails
furled and the red English colors tly
lug from the peak. Two hours later
the entire company were In the pres
once of the governor, where I told my
story, gravely listened to, supplement
ed by the earnest plea of the young
woman. I shall never forget that
scene, or how breathlessly we 8 waited
the decision of the great man, who so
closely watched our faces. They were
surely a strange, rough group as they
stood thus, hats In hand, waiting to
learn their fate, shaggy haired, un
shaven, largely scum of the sea, never
before In such presence, shuttling un
easily before his glance, feeling to the
full the peril of their position. Their
eyes turned to me questioning!?.
Opposite us, behind a long table, sat
the governor, dignified, austere, his
hair powdered and face smoothly
shaven; while on either side of him
were those of his council, innny of the
faces stern and unforgiving. Kut for
their gracious reception of Dorothy
and their careful attention to her
words I should have lost heart. They
questioned me shrewdly, although the
governor spoke but seldom, and then
in a kindly tone of sympathy nnd un
uerstandinir. One by one the men
were called forward, each In turn com
pelled to tell briefly the story of his
life; and when nil was done the eyes
of the governor sought those of the
council.
"You have all alike heard the tale
gentlemen," he said. "Nothing like It
hath ever before been brought before
this colony. Would you leave decision
to me?"
There was a murmur of assent, as
though they were thus gladly relieved
of responsibility in so serious a mat
ter. The governor smiled, his kindly
eyes surveying us once more; then,
with extended hand he bade Dorothy
be seated.
"The story Is seemingly an honest
one," he said slowly, "aud these sea
men have done a great service to the
colony. They deserve reward rather
than punishment. The fair lady who
pleads for them Is known to us all,
and to even question her word Is hn
possible. Unfortunately I have not
the power of pardon in cases of piracy,
nor authority to free bond slaves, with
out the approval of the home govern
ment; yet will exercise in this case
whatsoever of power I possess. For
gallant services rendered to the col
ony, and unselfish devotion to Mistress
Dorothy Fairfax, I release Geoffry
Carlyle from servitude pendipg ad
vices from England; I also grant pa
role to these seamen, on condition
they remain within our Jurisdiction
until this judgment can be confirmed
and full pardons Issued. Is this judg
ment satisfactory, gentlemen?"
The members of the council bowed
gravely, without speaking.
"The chest of treasure recovered
from the sunken pirate ship," he went
on soberly, "will remain unopened un
til final decision is made. As I under
stand. Master Carlyle, no one among
you has yet seen its contents, or est!
mated Its value?"
"No, your excellency. Beyond doubt
it contains the gold stolen from Roger
Fairfax; and possibly the result of
other robberies at sea.
"The law of England Is that a certain
percentage of such recovered treasure
belongs to the crown, the remainder,
Its true ownership undetermined, to be
fairly divided among those recovering
It."
"Yet," spoke up Dorothy quickly, "it
must surely be possible to waive all
claim In such cases?"
"Certainly; as private property it
can be disposed of In any way desired.
Was that your thought?"
"A Fairfax always pays his debt,"
she said proudly, "and this Is mine."
There was a moment's silence as
though each one present hesitated to
speak. She had risen, and yet stood,
but with eyes lowered to the floor.
Then they were lifted and met mine
In all frank honesty.
"There is another debt J owe," she
said clearly, "and would pay, your ex
cellency." "What is that, fair mistress?"
She crossed to me, her hand upon
my arm.
"To become the wife of Geoffry Car
lyle." TIIE END.

Delay Return of
U. S. Dead
Bodies of Americans May Not
Be Sent Home Until 1922.
The 03,000 American dead In France
must be left In the graves they now
occupy until the French are ready to
exhume their own dead, which may
not be before January 1, 1122.
The foreign olll.e bad promised to
consider the formal ropiest of I lie
American Roveriimeiit for the ret m il
of Its fallen soldiers, hut later the fol-
owlns; oillcial announcement was
made :
"It has been definitely decided that
the allies who fell together for the
same cause snouiu remain iokohht
until circumstances penult of tin re
turning of the bodies to the fiiuiillci
for whom they sacrificed theinselvr.s."
The proposed law forbidding tin? ex-
humatlon of the soldier dead for three
years did not pass at the last session
of the chamber of deputies, but the
foreign office expects that It will he
adopted soon.
French families nlso want their
dead, but there are so many thousand
unidentified among the dead and trans
portation Is Inadequate to move the
1,500,000 bodies In the various ceme
teries. The British and Kelglan gov-
nunents are urging the return of their
dead, but France considers It only fair
to treat all countries alike.
HINTS FOR
POULTRY GROWERS
At this season of the year fowls are
likely to have colds. It Is true that
the weather Is pleasant as a general
rule, but that does not keep fowls
from disorders more or lei annoying
to them.
The most common head nnd throat
troubles of fowls are colds and ca
tarrh. The symptoms of colds are
running, dirty and stopped-up nostrils.
The symptoms of catarrh are dliilcult
and rapid breathing, with mouth open,
and whistling or bubbling In throat
due to phlegm. These troubles are
most common In fall and winter, and
are easily overcome.
Simple colds and catarrh can be
prevented by removing the above caus
es and breeding constantly for health
and vigor. To treat, search out and
Isolate in separate quarters nil Infe-'-f-ed
fowls and give stimulating food
seasoned with cayenne pepper, or the
following tonic:
Pulverized gentian, one pound; pul
verized ginger, quarter pound ; pulver
ized saltpeter, quarter pound ; pulver
ized Iron sulphate, quarter pound.
Use two to three tablespoonfuls of
the tonic to ten quarts of dry mash.
Custom of Wig Wearing
Was Started in France
The custom of wearing a wig as a
recognized part of the costume dates
from the early days of the seventeenth
century. It started In France when
Louis XIII, being grently struck with
the "long, fair locks" of the Abbe la
Rlvere, attained by the simple means
of a periwig, adopted the style for
himself, and so set the fashion. P,v
the time of Charles II the wearing of
the periwig, or peruke, or perriiouo,
had become general. I'opys records
the fact that he paid 3 for one; hut
It was not until the time of Queen
Anne that periwigs, or wigs for short.
.ally came Into their own. Then di.l
they appear In the full j;Iory of mi
ever-changing though fiist-stabillzin
fashion,
