Coming next morning to the wharf, Blood found Dr. Whacker in & generous mood. “It's not money I'll require,” sald he, “but the boat itself, For who will be selling me a hoat and incur- ring the penalties in Governor Steed’s procli tion? Ye'll have read it, no doubt?" Dr. Whacker smiled a little with tight lips. “Fve thought of it. You will see that the man who buys the boat must be one of those who goes with you-—so that he is not here to answer questions afterward."” “But who is to go with me save men in my own cage? What I cannot do, they cannot. “There are ‘others detained on the island besides slaves, There are several who are here for .debt, and would be glad enough to spread their wings. There's a fellow Nuttall, now, who follows the trade of a ship- wright, whom I happen to know would welcome such a chance as you might afford him." “But how should a debtor with money to buy a boat? question will be asked.” “To be sure it will. But if you contrive shrewdly, you'll all be gone before ‘that happens.” 8o well did Blood take him that within/ an hour he contrived to see Nuttall, and found the fellow as dis- posed to the business as Dr. Whacker had predicted. 'When he left the shipwright, it was agreed that Nut- tall should seek the boat required, for IF STOMACH IS TROUBLING YOU, CHEW A FEW ! Instantly! End Indigestion, Gas, Heartburn, Acid.

THE HERALD The A-B-C Paper with the A-B-C Want Ads ——— THEY AT AT THE GATE O THE LUXURIANT GARDEN OF GOVERNMENT HOUSE, which Blood would at once produce the money. At the end of some three weeks, Nuttall informed him that he had found a serviceable wherry, and that its owner was disposed to sell it for twenty-two pounds. That evening, on the beach, Peter Blood handed the sum to his new assoclate, and Nuttall went off with Instructions to com- plete the purchase late on the follow- ing day, and then bring the boat to the wharf, where under cover of night Blood and his fellow-convicts would Jjoin him and make off. At sunset Peter Blood was hailed by Colonel Bishop. “There's the Governor, with an attack of gout, screaming like a wounded horse. Be off, man—away with you at speed to Government House! Best lend him a horse, Kent, or the lout'll be all night getting there.” ‘They bustied him away, choking al- most from a reluctance that he dared not show. The thing was unfortun. ate; but after all not beyond remedy. The escape was set for midnight, and he should easily be back by then. He mounted the horse that Kent procured him, intending to make all haste. “How shall I re-enter the stockade, sir?” he inquired at parting. “You'll not re-enter it,” said Bishop. “When they've done with |you at Government House, they may for you. there until find a kennel morning.” Peter Blood went off in a state of mind bordering on despair. A post- ponement of the escape at least until tomorrow night was necessary now, and postponement must mean the dis- covery of Nuttall's transaction and the asking of questions it would be diffi- cult to answer. Not until the carly hours of the morning did Peter Blood succeed in making a temporary escape from Government House on the ground that he required certain medicaments which he must, himself, procure from the apothecary. On that pretext, he made an excur- sion into the awakening town, and went straight to Nuttall. “It will be for tonight instead,” he said, with more assurance than he felt, “if I have to bleed the Governor to death, Be ready as last night.” “But if there are questions mean- while?"” bleated Nuttall. “Answer as best you can. Use your wits man. I can stay no longer." And Peter went off to the apothecary for his drugs. Within an hour of his going came an officer of the Secretary's to Nut- DOINGS OF THE' DUFFS WHAT 1S THAT NOU HAVE HANGING THERE ;TOM 7 WELL FOLKS, WELL HAE T T BED WITA TE.
