eile (Continued From Yesterday) As the little man stepped from the ladder into tho waist, whither Captain Blood had gone to receive} him, his sharp, forrety dark eyes} swept the uncouth ranks of the assembled crow of the Arhbella, “And where tho devil may I be} now?" ho demanded irritably, “Aro! you English, or what the devil are yout” “Myself, I have the honor to be Irish, air, My namo tx Blood—| Captain Peter Blood, and this ts my ship the Arabella, all very much at your service.” “Blood!” shriiled tho ttle man.) “OQ 'Sdlood! A pirate!" He swung to the colossus who followed him— “A damned pirate, van der Kuyten, Rend my vitals, but we're come from Seylla to Charybdis." said the other gutturally, and again, “Sot Then the humor of it took him, and he ylelded to it. “Damme! What's to faugh at, you porpoise?” spluttered mulberry. coat. “A fino tale this'll make at home! Admiral van der Kuylen first loses hia fleet in the night, then has his flagship fired under him by a French squadron, and ends all by being captured by & pirate. I'm glad you find It mat- ter for laughter. Since for my atns I happen to be with you, I'm) damned if I do.” “There's a misapprehension, if 1 may make so bold as to point It out,” put in Blood quietly, “You are not captured, gentlemen; you are rescued. When you realize tt, perhaps it will occur to you to ac. knowledge the hospitality IT am of- fering you. It may be poor, but It Js the best at my disposal.” The fierce little gentleman stared at him. “Damme! Do you permit yourself to be tronical?” he disap- Proved him, and possibly with a/ view to correcting any such ten- dency, proceeded to introduce him- self. “I am Lord Willoughby, King} ‘William's governor-general of the| West Indies, and this {s Admiral) van der Kuylen, commander of His Majesty's West Indian ficet, at present mislaid somewhere in this damned Carribean Sea.” “King William?" quoth Bldod, and he was conscious that Pitt and| Dyke, who were behind him, now came edging nearer, sharing his own wonder. “And who may be King William, and of what may he be king?" “What's that??” greater than his own, Lord Wil- Youghby stared back at him. At last: “I am alluding to His Ma- jesty King William IIT—William of Orange—who, with Queen Mary, has been ruling England for two months and more.” There was as moment's In a wonder silence, | TA SRR IRD NORE De at a andi: nA in ae W Rafael Sabatini © RAFAEL, SARATINI depot NEA SkRVICK Ine until Blood was being told “D'yo mean, roused themselves at Kleked out that scoundrel and his gang of ruffians?" Admiral van der Kuylen his lordship, a humorous in his blue eyes, “His bolities are tery dink,” he growled, His lordship's smilo brought lines: like gashea into his leathery cheeks. “Siife! Had n't you heard? Where the devil have you been at all?” “Out of touch with the world for the Jast three months,” said Blood, “Stab me! You must have been. And in that threo months tho world has undergone somo changes.” Briefly ho added an account of them.

The news he had received had set! Blood’s mind tn a turmoil. If King James was dethroned and banished there was an end to his own out-| lawry for his alleged share in an} earlier attempt to drive out that) tyrant.
