Ou the follnwink morning, whilst vnu der Kuylen's fleet was making finally ready for ' sea, Hlod tat in the spacious whitewashed room that was the Governor's office, when Ma jor Mallard brought him word that Bishop's homing squadron, was in sight. "I am glad he comes before Lord Willoughby's departure. The orders, Major, are that you place him under arrest the moment he steps abhore." Tcter Blood sat back in his chair and Btared at the ceiling, frowning. Came a tap at the door, aud au elderly negro slave presented himself. Would his excellency receive Miss BishonV lie sat quite still, conscious that his pulses were drumming in a manner wholly unusual to them. Then quiet ly he assented. He rose when she entered, and if he was not as pale as she was, it was because his tan dissembled it. Kor a moment there was silence between them, as they stood looking each at the other. Then she moved forward, and began at last to speak, haltingly, in an unsteady voice, amazing in one usually so calm and deliberate. "I . . I . . Major Mallard has just told me." ''Major Mallard exceeded his duty," said Blood, and because of the effort be made to steady his voice it sounded harsh and unduly loud. "You alarm yourself without reason. Miss Bishop. Whatever niny lie be tween me aud your uncle, you may be sure that I shall not follow the ex ample he has set me. I shall not abuse my position to prosecute a priv ate vengeance . On the contrary, I shall abuse it to protect him. Lord Willoughby's recommendation to me is that I sholl treat him without mercy. My own intention is to send him back to his plantation in Barba dos." She came slowly forward now. "I . . . I am glad that you will do that. Glad, above all, for your own sake." She held out her hand to him. He considered it critically. Then he bowed over it "I'll not presume to take it in the hand of a thief and a pirate," said he bitterly. "You are no longer that," she said, and strove to smile. "Yet I owe no thanks to you that I am not," he answered. "I tliink there's no more to be said, unless it be to add the assurance that Lord Jul ian Wade has also nothing to appre hend from me. That, no doubt, will be the assurance that your peace of mind requires?" "For your own sake yes. ' But for your own sake only. I would not hnve you do unything mean or dishonour ing." "Thief and pirate though I be?" Kbe clenched her hand, and made a little gesture of despair and im patience. "Will you never forgive me those words?" "I'm finding it a trifle hard, J con fess. But what does it matter, when all is said?" Her clear hazel eyes considered him a moment wistfully., Then she put out her hand again. "I am going, Captain Blood.-Sincc you arc so generous to my uncle, I shall be returniug to Barbados with him. We arc not like to meet again ever. Is it impossible' that we should part friends? Once I wronged you, I know. And I have said that I am sorry. Won't you . won't you say 'good-bye'?" He took the hand she proffered. Retaining it, he spoke, his eyes som brely, Wistfully considering her. "You are returning to Barbados?" he said slowly. "Will Lord Julian be going with you? Why do you ask that?" she con fronted hiin quite fearlessly.' ' "Sure, now, didn't he givo you my message, or did he bungle it?" "No. He didn't bungle it. He gave it me in your owu words. It touched me very deeply. It made me see clearly my error and my injustice. I owe it to you that I should say this by way of amend. 1 judged too harsh ly where it was a presumption to judge nt all." He was still holding her hand. "And Lord Julian, then?" he asked, his eyes watching her, bright as sapphires in the copper-coloured face, "Lord Julian will no doubt be going home to England.' There is nothing lm,r(, for him to do out here." -But didn't ho ask you to go with him?' -He did. I forgive you the imper- tinence." A wild hope leapt to life within him. "And you? Glory be, ye 11 not be telling mo ye refused to become my lady, when .... "Oh! lOU are lusuiiernnie: nuc tore her hand free and backed away from him. "I should not have come . . Good-bye!" She was speed ing to the door He prang ofler her, and caught her. Her face flnmed, and her eyes stabbed him like daggers. "These are pirate's ways. I think! Release me!' "Arnbel a ne criru iu n ,", pleading. "Are ye menning it? Must 1 release ye? Must 1 let ye go an never set eyes on ye again: t ve stnv and make this exile endurable until wo can go homo together? Och. ye're crying now! What have I aaid to make ye cry, my aear : "I . . I thought you'd never say it." she morked him through her tears. "There was never, never any body but you. Peter."

Arrest me, d'ye say? Arrest me ?" "By order of the Governor of Ja maica." said the elegaul little inau be hind Major Mallard. Bishop swung to him. "Tho Governor? You're mad!" He looked from ono to the other. "1 am lue Governor. "You were," said the little man dry ly. -But we've changed that in your absence. You're broke for abandouiug your post without due cause and therefore imperiling the settlement over which you had charge. It's a serious matter, t'olouel Bishop, as you may find. Considering that you held your office from the Government of King James, it is even possible that a charge of treason may lie against you. It rests with your successor entirely whether ye're hanged or not." Bishop rapped out au oath, and then, shaken by, a sudden fear: "Who the devil may you be?" he asked. "I am Lord Willoughby, Governor General of His Majesty's Colonies iu the West Indiees. You were informed, I think, of my coming." The remains of Bishop's anger fell from him like a cloak. He broke into a sweat of fenr. Behind him Lord Julian looked on, his handsomo face suddenly white and drawn. "But, my lord" began the Colo nel. "Sir, I am not concerned to hear your reasons," his lordship inter rupted harshly. "I am on the point of sailing and I have not the time. The Governor will hear you mid no doubt deal justly by you." He waved to .Major M .Hard, and Bishop, a crumpled, broken ihnu, allowed him self to be led away. To Lord Julian, who went with him, aineo none deterred him, Bishop ex pressed himself when presently he had sufficiently recovered. "This is one more item to the ac count of that scoundrel .Blood," he said, through his teeth. "My God. what a reckoning there will be when we meet!" Major Mallard turned away his face that he might conceal his smile, and without further words led him a pris oner to the Governor's house that so long had been Colonel Bishop's own residence. He was left under guard in the ball, whilst Major Mallard went ahead to announce him. . Miss Bishop was still with Peter Rlood when Major Milliard entered. His announcement startled them back to reulities. "You will .be merciful with him. You will spare him all you can for my sake, Peter," she pleaded. , "To be sure I will," said Blood, 'Hjut I'm afraid the circumstances won't." She effaced herself, escaping into the garden aud Major Mallard fetched the Colonel.-. "His Excellency, the Governor, will see you now," said he, and threw wide the door. Colonel Bishop staggered in and stood waiting. At the tabic sat a man of whom nothing was visible but the top of a carefully curled, black head. Then thiB head was raised,' and- a pair of blue eyes solemnly regarded the pris oner. Colonel Bishop made-a noise in his throat,'and, stared into the face of. His Excellency, the Deputy-Governor of Jamaica, which was the face of the man he had been hunting in Tortuga to liis present undoing. . . The situation was 'best expressed to Lord Willoughby by Van der Kuy len as the pair stepped aboard the Admiral's flugship. "Id is fery boedicai!" he said, his blue eyes twinkling. "Cabdain Blood is fond of boedry you remember dc abble blossoms. So? Ha, ha! .

Such a one is this charming enaiuple i-ketchcd u Taris hy the Cheney Style Sfrrice, which presses into service, to relieve the monotony of the unbroken line, a fascinating jabot, a dashing belt, and a new aud intriguing ue of buttou ornamenta tion. The tunic proper is made in boyish or garconne style with the little turn ed down collar and cuffs affected by Premet on many of their models. Tho sport effect i further enhanced by the wide leather belt. But simplic ity gives way to sophistication in the jabot, a by-product of the Pirectoire influence on tho mode. This jabot is made of finely pleated white Crepe Chenotte. Tho tunic itself is of ben- gatiue, aud is posed over a black satin fourreau. As to color, one may suit oneself in auy of the hues ac cepted by fashion, but whatever color is shown, the belt must be of the same. A further not of adornment is found in the double rows of small black but tons placed so close together that they give tho effect of a new kind of trimming. These are employed in three bands down the skirt of the tunic, the middle row continuing up through the center of the jabot to the collar . Tho back of tho tuuic is do- void of ornamentation. As an advance uoto on color, we are told by Henri Creaugo, the fas hion authority, that Copper-Reds will be the prevailing color scheme for spring, and that the llleu Tervenche I hues will also come in for a share I of popular, fuvor. "look see." The Tommies hoisted it back into placo very quickly. Finally wo came to the outposts of Feng's forces instead of trenches round holes with a man or two in each just their heuds nuif guns showing. The danger seemed over. The re connoiteriug engine was switched off, and we went on a little fustcr, much relieved. -Machine Gun Fires Not having elept the night before, I was indulging in a nap when sud denly roused by Mrs. Totter. "Ger trude, they are firing on hs with a machine gun." Bum, -hum, bum, bum, It seemed to last a long time but perhaps it was not more than a couple ' of minutes. We were ordered on to ! the floor by the French commondant. It was Wu's men. There being no reconnoitering engine ahead of us, the gun was aimed nt our engino from the machine gun on tho track ahead J he glasB in the engine room was ', broken. The bulIctB whizzed past our coaches. Me were near Tientsin, ! Marshal Wu's men had made a quick retreat Of course they took us for the enemy. They apologized. 0ar train was unnblc to reach the because of congested tracks. So I we spent ft second night on the train. Captain Bcrtrand, with a couple of I aides, went for help. He feared that 1 General Feng's men would follow oh the heels of Marshal Wu's retreat- mg forcea and as one of our boyR expressed it "clean us up." Many of the soldiers left the train The men passengers put their hand luggage on the seats, and walked the mile or so to the station. Guarded Treasures We would not leave our bagage those precious museum treasures. So tiic little group of eix women and such of the guards as had stood by. spent the night in watchful waiting. The next morning Mrs. Seaton started on foot for tbe station in search of a dray to carry our baggage. Mrs. Potter and I stayed on the train to bo with it I was going to soy to guard it. Before leaving Peking we had tele graphed to tho Astor House Hotel at Tientsin for rooms. About an hour after Mrs. Senton left who should come along bur the hotel porter' and two assistants, The assistants got into the baggage car to stuy with our trunks until they could bo token out, while tho porter took us to the automobile. . t Passing our engine on the' way, I stopped to take another picture of it. ' Nearby were aonie British sol diers. I asked them to come closj so that they would be included in the picture. All the British soldiers still guarding the train came. Hav ing taken the picture and tbnnked them for their faithful protection we went on our way rejoicing. We had come the HO miles in 81 and a half hours. Although shells had passed nbove and beneath us, no one had been hurt. Find Mrs. Seaton At the office of the American Ex press company we found Mrs. Seaton. She hnd reached the railway station just as Marshall Wu with aome 00(1 of bis followers were leaving by train for the coast, there to take a ship for Tsingtuu. His army was left in the lurch, 'no food, no shelter, no money and most of them n long wsy from 1 home. With everything to lose and nothing to gain how can they be in duced to join the army? An speaking of fighting, one of Marshal Wu's officers did refuse to fight. He w-oN decapitated there in the station just as Mrs. Seaton ar rived. His head was placed on a Iikc f"r a" '" behold. It was pan- ocmoniom ici iooim: iu mm ninuon and Marshal Wu's last act was a body blow lo my siding with the Wu fac tion. It makes one think of the con dition, iu Medieval Europe. Dear old China.

ED US CUT BUILT BY OF reking, where the Imperial Talaio is reponed to have been invaded by troop, of the l'rovini-ial Government, is described iu the following bulletin from tbo Washington, 1). C, head quarters of the .National Geographic Society: "Peking is a 'city within a city.' "As one passes' within the walls he expects to find bannered signs of shopkeepers; instead he beholds broad avenues three miles long, mak ing aipiares as regular as those of a checkerboard. "Then the visitor begina, to sus pect that l'eking Is the one spacious i inuese city because it Is not a 1 hi rese city at all, but a Tartar city, luilt by adventurous barbarians of the north. Location of Throne "The Chinese portion of tho city, dating back to 1,1 111, is the commercial center. Tho Tartar city is about JHH) years older, and It is the Tartar city which includes the fumous 'Foroiddeu City,' of which the Dragon Throne of the Son of Heaven, F.mperor of the Middle Kingdom, is the center. "Tho famous throuo is of rare wood, exquisitely carved. Behind it is a screen of golden iacquer so dainty in design that it seems a bit of filmy lace. Arouud this throne room are the palaces, shut in by purple walls. "The streets of Peking reflect tho city's infinite vnriety. Every thor cughfaro Is alive with beasts and ve nicies and huniaus. Medley of Trafflo "Down the smooth, tree-lined roads go automobiles, cabs, rickashaws, and bicycles, all speeding past the slower moving catafalques aud wedding pro fessions on tho sides. Iletween side walks and tres, nlong a highway of turf, go mule-mounted equestrians, soldiers on sturdy Mnnchurian ponies, triplets of donkeys Tiauling lumber, brick, coal, and crockery, partly old gentlemen stradlling diminutive asses, blue-canopied Peking carts, and cara vans of camels out of tho north. "Imagiuo a citv, where camels go un and down streets upon legitimate business, not in a circus parade!
