The Service of King James Miss Arabella Bishop was aroused very early on the following morning by the brazen voice of a bugle and the insistent clanging of a ball in the ship's belfry. In his cabin on the starboard side Lord Julian, disturbed by the sounds, was already astir and hurried- ly dressing. When presently he emerged under the break of the poop, he found himself staring up into a mountain of canvas. By the rail gmmediately ahove and behind lord Julian, stood Captain Blood in antercation with a one-eyed giant, whose red cotton Kerchief, whose blue shirt hung open at the waist. As his lord- ship, moving forward, revealed him- self, their voices ceused, and Blood turned to greet him. “Good morning to and added. 1 have. you,” he said, haste to land But 1 was in B 1 have some- “ome up here. ———————— “WOTHERS, D0 THE — When the Children Cough, Rub Musterole on Throats and Chests No telling how soon the symptoms may develop into croup, or worse.

It should in any case have bee sufficient explanation. But befor more could be added, their attention was drawn at last to Ogle, who cam bounding up the broad ladder, an |to the men lounging aft in his wake in all of which, instinctively, they ap- prehended a vague menace. At the head of the companion Ogle found his progress barred by Rlood, who confronted him, a sudden sternness in his face and in every line of him. “What's this manded sharply. the gun-deck . it?"” Thus chalienged, the obvious trueu- lence faded out of Ogle’s bearing.
