RUPERT SARGENT HOLLAND
Is the author of this entrancing serial, and his gifted pen
has done fine work in depicting events that are stirring
and entertaining. There is the mysterious Ship and the
modern Pirate; there is beautiful Barbara Graham, a
fine young girl to admire and love, and the gallant ad
venturer, who meets with some thrilling experiences.
The air of the mystical about the story is warranted by
an absorbing and well devised plot.
The Pirate of Alastoir is essentially a story of the
times, recently written, copyrighted, and is a serial having
features that commend it to every reader as a capital
romance. We bespeak for this narrative a very favor
able reception, and do not hesitate to pronounce it one
of the leading romances of its class modern, interesting,
and haying all the elements of a splendid story.

have dene tar brat to keep the tecret to
myself. The place lie, bow ever, not to
very far from great cllle on the Atlan
tic coist. You take a train northward
from Hotton, and when you reach the
T-roprr station you alight and climb Into
-a country man's wagon, and he drive you
through the pine by a twiatlng. sand
built road to Alastalr. You will know It
because you can so no farther, jbIm you
choose to drive Into tbe ware.

Alastalr llelf it only a beaeh between
two great headland. From the end
where my cottage tand, snugly hid In
the pine on the edge of the dan, tbe
bench stretches tinootn and wnlte to a
little land-locked harbor at the farther
end. Bit on my porch and look down
along the sand to the eatt and you
will ee a reef ot rock fthaped like tbe

I tumbled acrott Alaatalr when I wa
looking for a quiet place In which to
write. I found tbe dilapidated cottage,

From my Uleony I can tee the dlttant

It waa tbe moit beautiful Auguit that
I remembered. The air waa clear at a

a tranquil world and trailed at It for
Joy. Kvery morning at breakfatt I would

exnj evening at tupper I would tay, "It

Indeed it ha, tlr." My family terrant
mode a perfect echo.
The afternoon on which I finished the
firtt lialf of my book I tat for tome time
on the porch outside my dtn, smoking. I
wa too terene to ttlr. I watched the
guilt elrele and tklra abore tbe pin'
crowned cliff, and the lay ware, rising
occasionally Into tparkllng white rnp,
lift their beadt and duck again like play
ful dolphin. The tide wa coming In.
I could mark the great wet circle on the

About ft o'clock I thnt tha door of my
cottage and ttnrted down the beach, con
ncloui ot no further plan than to board
the thlp and, pottlbly, catch tomethlng

little luland tea. Snro enough, the tide
In rltlng had cinered the rnnteway to
the cliff, and wat iHHirlng In, fatt tilling
the harbor, like tbe howl of n HihhUvI
fountain. The water wa not yet deep;
It barely covetvd the ptth by which the
explorer had route, and even off the
rockt In front ot It It wa tcantdy up to
my knee.
The woman of the uhlp called, "I'm
marooned. I enme by the path and for

She olntel toward th way the had

"S,i you thought you'd go for a tall,"
I aked, "but didn't think you'd rail to
