(Continued Irrow. Yesterday) M, de Rivarol’s hart eyes consid. ered him a moment. “Perhaps it will be best,” avid he, We took up a paper, “I have here.a copy of the articles into which you entered with M. de Cussy, Before going further, T have. to observe that M. de Cussy has exceeded his {Instructions in ad mitting you to one-fifth of the prizes taken. His authority didnot war rant his going beyogd one-tenth,” “That is a matter between yourself and M, de Cussy, my general.” "Oh, no, It is a matter between myself and you.”’ “Your pardon, my general, The articles are signed, So far as we are -foncetned, the matter is closed, Also out of regard for M, de Cussy, we should not desire to be witnesses to the rubukes you may consider that ho deserves.” ‘What I may have to say to M. de ay is no concern of yours,” “That is what Iam telling you, my general.” “But—nom de Dieu!—it is your concern, I suppose, that we cannot award. you more than one-tenth share." M. de Rivarol smote the table in exasperation. This pirate was too infernally skilful a fencer, “You are quite certain of that, M. Je Baron--that you cannot?” “Tam quite certain that Iwill not,” Captain Blood shrugged, and look- ed down his nose. “In that case,” said he, “it but remains for me to pre- gent my little account for our dis bursement, and to fix the sum at which we should be compensated for cour loss of time and derangement in coming hither, That settled, we can part friends, M. le Baron, No harm has been done.” “What the devil do you mean?’ ‘The baron was on his feet, leaning forward across the table, “It is possible that I am obscure? My French, perhaps, is not of the purest, but...” “Oh, your French is fluent enough; too fluent at moments, If I may per- mit myself the observation.

The general of the king's armies abused him—this man who was governor of Hispaniola—as if he were @ lackey. M, de Cussy defend. ed himself by urging the thing that Captain Blood had so admirably urg- ed already on his behalf—that if the terms he had made with buccaneers were not confirmed there was no harm done. M. de Rivarol bullied and browbeat him into silence. Having exhausted abuse, the baron proceeded to indignities, Since he ac- counted that M. de Cussy had proved himself unworthy of the post he held, M. de Rivarol took over the respo bilities of that post for as long as he might remain in Hispaniola, and to give effect to this he began by bring- ing soldiers from his ships, and set- ting his own guard In M. de Cussy's castle, Out of this, trouble followed quick- ly.
