Further Information from Companies’ Offices ;: EDUCATIONA CAPTAIN BLOOD By RAFAEL SABATINI ——— The Greatest Love Story Ever Told | (Continued from Yesterday's Star.) His chain companion on that dread- ful march was the same Jeremy Pitt who had been the agent of his pres- ent misfortunes. The young ship- master had remained his close com- panion after their common arrest. Hence, fortuitously, had they been chained together in the crowded pris- on, where they were almost suffocate ed by the heat and the stench during those days of July, August and Sep- tember. Scraps of news filtered into the | gaol from the outside world. Some may have been deliberately allowed to penetrate. Of these was the tale ot Monmouth's execution. It created profoundest dismay among those men who were suffering for the duke and for the religious cause he had pro- tessed to champion. Many refused utterly to belleve it. A wild story | egan to circulate that a man resem- bling Monmouth had offered himself up in the duke’s stead, and that Mon- mouth survived to come again in glory to deliver Zion and make war upon Babylon. . Mr. Blood heard that tale with the same indifference with which he had | received the news of Monmouth's death. But one shameful thing he | heard in connection with this which | left him not quite 8o unmoved, and | served to nourish the contempt he | was forming for King James. His majesty had consented to see Mon- mouth. To have done 50 unloss he in- tended to pardon him was a thing ex- ecrable and damnable beyond belief; | for the only other object in granting that interview could be the evilly | mean satisfaction of spurning the ab- ject penitence of his unfortunate nephew. Later they heard that Lord Grey, who, after the duke—indeed, perhaps | before him—was the main leader of | the rebellion, had purchased his own | pardon for £40,000. Peter Blood | found this of a piece with the rest. | His contempt for King James blazed out at last. “Why, here's a flithy, mean crea- | ture to sit on a throne. If I had | known as much of him before as I know today, I don't doubt I should have given cause to be where I am now.” And then, on a sudden thought: “And where will Lord Gildoy be, do YOU Suppose?” he asked. Young Pitt, whom he addressed, turned toward him a face from which | the ruddy tan of the sea had faded almost completely during those months of captivity. His gray eyes | were round and questioning. Blood | answered him. | re, now, we've never seen his | lordship H since that day at Ogle- horpe's. And where are the other gentry that were taken?—the real a deal more; but at this point the lord chief justice interposed in a gen- tle, rather plaintive voice. “Look you, sir: because we must observe the common and usual meth- ods of trial, I must interrupt you now. You are no doubt ignorant of the forms of law?" - Not only ignorant, hitherto most happy in that ignor- ance. 1 could gladly have forgone this acquaintance with them.” A pale smile momentarily lightened the wistful countenance. “I believe you. You shall be fully | heard when ‘you come to your de- fense. But anything you say now Is altogether irregular and improper. Enheartened by that apparent sym- pathy and consideration, Mr. Biood* answered thereafter, as was required of him, that he would be tried by God and his country. Whereupon, having prayed to God to send him a €0od deliverance, the clerk called upon Andrew Baynes to hold up his hand and plead. From Baynes, who pleaded not guilty, the clerk passed on to Pitt, who boldly owned his guilt. The lord chief justice stirred at that “Come; that's better,” quoth he, and his four scarlet brethren nodded “If all were as obstinate as h two fellow rebels, there would never be an end.” After that ominous interpolation, delivered with an inhuman iciness that sent a shiver through the court, Mr. Pollexfen got to his feet. With great prolixity he stated the general case against the three men, and the particular case against Peter Blood, whose indictment was to be taken first. The only witness King was Capt. Hobart. He testified briskly to the manner in which he had found and taken the three pris- oners, together with Lord Gildoy. Upon the orders of his colonel he would have hanged Pitt out of hand, but was restrained by the lies of the prisoner, Blood, who led him-to be- lieve that Pitt was a peer of the realm and a person of consideration. As the captain’s evidence concluded, Lord Jeftreys looked across at Peter Blood. “Will the prisoner Blood ask the witness any questions?" “None, my lord. He has correctly related what occurred.” “I am glad to have your admission of that without any of the prevarica- tions that are usual in your kind. And I will say this, that here preva- rication would avail you little. For we always have the truth in the end. Be sure of that.” Baynes and Pitt s the accuracy of the captain's evi- dence, whereupon the scarlet figure of the lord chief justice heaved a sigh of relief. “This being my lord, but called for the ilarly admitted €0, let us get on, In leaders of this plaguey rebellion. | Grey's case explains their absence, I | think. They are wealthy men that | fcan ransom themselves. Here await- | ing the gallows are none but the un- | fortunates who followed; those who | had the honor to lead them go free. | It's & curious and instructive reversal | of the usual way of these things Faith, it's an uncertain world en- | tirely? { He lauged and settled down into ! that spirit of scorn, wrapped in which | he stepped later into the great hall | of Taunton Castle to take his trial. | ‘With him went Pitt and the yeoman Baynes. The three of them were to be tried together, and their case was | 10 open the proceedings of that ghast- 1y day. The hall, even to the gallerfes— thronged with spectators, most of | whom were ladies—was hung in scar- let; a pleasant conceit, this of the lord chief justice's, who naturally | enough preferred the color that should reflect his own bloody mind. At the upper end, on a raised dlas, sat the lords commissioners, the five judges in their scarlet robes and | heavy dark periwigs, Baron Jeffreys | of Wem enthroned in the middle place. The prisoners filed in under guard. | The crier called for silence under pain of imprisonment, and as the hum of voices gradually became hushed Mr. Blood considered with in- terest the 12 good men and true that composed the jury. Neither good nor true did they look. They were scared, uneasy, and hang®g as any set of thieves caught with their hands in the pockets of their neighbors. They were 12 shaken men, each of whom stood between the sword of the lord chief justice'’s recent bloodthirsty charge and the wall of his own con- science. From them Mr. Blood's calm, de- liberate glance passed on to consider the lords commissioners, and particu- |larly thq presiding judge, that Lord Jeffreys, whose terrible fame had come ahead of him from Dorchester. He beheld a tall, slight man on the young side of 40, with an oval face that was delicately beautiful. There were dark stains of suffering or sleeplessness under the low-lidded eyes, heightening their brilliance and their gentle melancholy. The face was very pale, save for the vivid color of the full lips and ‘the hectic flush on the raher high but incon- spicuous cheek bones. It was some- thing in those lips that marred the perfection of that countenance; & fault, elusive but undeniable, lurked there to belie the fine sensitiveness of those nostrils, the tenderness of those dark, liquid eyes and the noble calm of that pale brow. The physician in Mr. Blood regard- ed the man with peculiar interest, knowing as he did the agonizing mal- ady from which his lordship suffered, and the amazingly irregular, de- bauched life that he ldd in spite of it —perhaps because of it. “Peter Blood, hold up your hand! Abruptly he was recalled to his po- sition by the harsh voice of the clerk of arraigns. His obedience was me- chanical, and the clerk droned out the wordy indictment which pro- nounced Peter Blood a false traitor against the most illustrious and most excellent prince, James the Second, by the grace of God, of England, Scotland, France and Ireland King, his supreme and natural lord. It in- formed him that, having no fear of God in his heart, but being moved and seduced by the instigation of the devil, he had failed in the love and true and due natural obedience to- ward his said lord the King, and had moved to disturb the peace and tran- quillity of the kingdom and to stir up war and rebellion to depose his said lord the King from the title, honor and the regal name of the im- perial crown—and much more of the same kind, at the end of all of which he was invited to say whether he was guilty or not guilty. He answered more than was asked. | “It's entirely innocent, I am. A small, shafp-faced man at a ta- ble before and to the right of him bounced up. It was Mr. Pollexfen, the judge advocate. ‘Are you guilty or not guilty?” snapped this peppery gentleman. “You must take the words. “Words, s it?" sald Peter Blood. “Oh—not guilty.” And he went on, addressing himself to the bench. “On this same subject of words, may it please your lordships, I am guilty of nothing to justify any of those words I have heard used to describe me, unless it be of a want of patience at having been closely confined for two months and longer in a foetid gaol with great peril to my health and even life.” Being started, he would have added for we have much to do." There was now no trace of gen- tleness in his voice. It was brisk and rasping, and the lips through which it passed were curved in scorn. “T take it, Mr. Pollexfen, that the wick- d treason of these three rogues be- ng established—indeed. admitted by them—there is no more to be said Peter Blood's voice rang out cri Iy, on a note that almost seemed t contain laughter. “May it please vour lords there's a deal more to be said.” His lordship looked at him, first in blank amazement at his an then gradually with an expre: ull anger. The scarlet lips fe unpleasant, cruel lines that t ured the whole countenance. “How' now, rogue? Would vyou waste our time with idle subter- fuge?” “I would have ¥ the gentlemen of the my defense, as your lor ised that I should be heard “Why, so you shall, villain: so you shall.” His lordship's voice was harsh as a file. He writhed as he spoke. and for an instant his features were distorted. A delicate dead-white hand, on which the veins showed blue, brought forth a handkerchief with which he dabbed his lipe and then h brow. Observing him with his physi- cian’s eye, Peter Blood judged him a prey to the pain of the disease that was destroying him. “So vou shall. But after the admission made, what de- fense remains?’ “You shall judge, my lord." “That is the purpose for which I sit here.” “And so shall vou, gentlemen.” Blood looked from judge to jury. The latter shifted uncomfortably under the confident flash of his blue eves. Lord Jeffreys' bullving charge -had whipped the spirit out of them. Had they, themselves, been prisoners He: cused of treason, he could not have arraigned them more ferociously. 2 Peter Blood stood boldly forward,! erect, self-possessed, and saturnine. He was freshly shaven, and his periwig if out of curl, was at least carefully combed and dressed. “Capt. Hobart has testified to what he knows—that he found me at Ogle- thorpe’s farm on the Monday morning after the battle at Weston.
