REGIN HERE TODAY PETER BLOOD is wrongly conviet- od of treason agalnst the English king, He and Jeremy Pitt among -others, become the slaves of COLONEL BISHOP, a larbados planter and uncle of ARABELLA, between whom and Peter Blood.an Interesting friend- #hip springs up, A Spanish ship con quers the lsland but s uptum;' through the strategy of Blood, who heads a party of slaves, DON DIEGO, commander of the vessel, who 18 given freedom of the ship, attempts to betray Captain Blood and his fel. lows but falls, Blodd salls to Tor- tuga, headquarters of buccancers, Where he joins with Levasseur, an- other adventurer, The governor of Tortuga tries to break up an attachment between hin daughter, MADEMOISELLE D'OGE- RON, and LEVASSEUR He sends his daughter on a voyage, guarded by her brother. Levasseur follows and kidnaps Mademolselle and her brother, “Your ransom 1s fixgd at twenty thousand pleces of eight, and you shall have liberty’ on parole to go to Tortuga to collect it, I shall pro- vide the means to convey you thithet, and you shall have a month in which to come and go. Meanwhile, your sister remains with me as a hostage, Your father should not consider such & sum excessive as the price of his son's liberty and to provide a dowry for his daughter.” “You are foollsh if you refuse.” Levasseur spoke without anger. His fingers had been*Qusy tying knots in a length of whipcord. He held it up a moment. ‘““You know this? It is capable of screwing the eyes out of & man's head by way of helping him {to sée reason.” He flung the length of knotted cord to one of the negroes, who in an-in. stant made it fast about the prisoner's brows. Then between cord and cranium the black inserted a short length of metal, round and slender as & pipe-stem. That done he rolled his eyes toward Levasseur, awaiting the Captain’s signal. “I beg you will spare yourself and your sister,” said the Captain, ‘by being reasonable. What, after all, is the sum I have named? I have been o modest. But since I have said enty thousand pleces of eight, twenty thousand pieces it shall be.” “And for what, if you please, have you sald twenty thousand pleces of eight?” In execrable French, but in a voice that was crisp and pleasant, that ques- tion floated over their heads, Startled, Levasseur and his officers looked up and round. On the crest of the dunes behind them they beheld a tall, lean figure scrupulously dressed in black with sllver lace, a crimson ostrich plume curled about' the broad brim of his Yat affording the only touch of color. Under that hat was the tawny face of Captain Blood. Women Need Swamp-Root Thousands of women have kidney |- and bladder trouble and never sus- pect it Women’s complaints often prove to be nothing else but kidney trouble, or the result of kidney or bladder disease, If the kidneys are not in a healthy condition, they may cause the other organs to become diseased, Pain in the back, headache, loss of ambition, nervousness, are often times symptoms of kidney trouble, Don't delay sterting treatment, Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, a physi- cian's prescription, obtained at any drug store, may be just the remedy needed to overcome such conditions, Get a medium or large size bottle immediately from any drug store. However, if you wish first to test this great preparation send ten cents to Dr. Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N, Y., for a sample bottle.

And their names?" The prisoner answered for himself. “I am Henri d'Ogeron, and this is my sister.” “D'Ogeron?" Captain Blood stared. “Are you related by chance to my good friend the Governor of Tortu- ga?" “He is my father.” Levasseur swung aside with an im- precation. In Captain Blood, amaze- ment for the moment quenched every other emotion. “The saints preserve us now! Are youquite mad, Levasseur? [First you molest the Dutch, who are our' friends; next you take prisoners two persons that are French, your own countrymen; and now, bedad, they're no less than the children of the Gov- ernor of Tortuga, which is the one safe place of shelter that we enjoy in these islands. . . ."” Levasseur broke in angrily: “Must I tell you again that it is a matter personal to me?" “And the twenty thousand pieces of eight? Is that also matter personal to you?” “It 1s.” “Now I don't agree with you at all.” Captain Blood sat down on the cask | that Levasseur had lately occupied, “You have fixed thelr ransom at twenty thousand pleces of eight. That sum then be- longs to your crews and mine in the proportion by the articles established. But what is far more grave is that you have concealed from me this part of the prizes taken on your last cruise, and for such an offense as that the DOINGS OF THE DUFFS DON'T LET THOSE MEN ) COME IN HERE vp !
