CHAPTER V. The Fate of Theodosia. ELIEVING that behind the door awaited his bereaved daughter Theodosia, Burr threw it back, cryini “Theodosia! Theodosia! come to your father! ‘Mrs, Blennerhassett stood before him. Burr made an Involuntary step backward. Margaret Blennerhassett! You here?’ “Yes, Col. Burr; wo intrude upon your privacy as you once @14 upon ours. Your unwelcome guests are Harman Blen- nerhassett and his wife, Margaret—your victims.” Blennerhassett, broken in health, ruined in fortune, and his faithful wife, attacked Burr in a fury of denunciation. ‘The interview was painful and useless, Bitterly denouncing the man who had led lm away from peace and happiness, Blennerhassett fell back exhausted into nts chair. Burr lett the room without another word. Ransome was in the main office. “Your master needs your services."" Ransome was soon at the side of his mistress, aiding her In her ministrations to the invalid. Burr rushed to mect Alston and Van Ness as they entered. “Has she come?” Alston did not reply. ‘Van Ness. I cannot. Burr grasped Van Ness by the hand and looked anxiously into his fa “Calm yourself, Burr, thero may yet be hope, but they fear that the vessel !s lost with all on board." Burr looked fixedly at Van Ness. ‘Would to God, Burr, that I could offer you some consolation.” Mrs. Blennerhassett turned to her husband and eaid: “A terrible retribution. He replied, in a low volce: “From the hand of Heaven! Let us go, Margaret.” The good ship Patriot sailed out of the harbor of Charles- ton, 8. C., one morning late in the month of September, 1812. It was what was called in those days a packet-ship and carried the mall, freight and passengers. The freight con- @isted of barrels of rice and bales of cotton and tobacco. ‘The captain had in his cabin, besides, a number of letters containing money to pay for supplies to be ordered from the eity of New York, to which port the vessel was bound. The captain and crew numbered fifteen, the passengers being twelve. A storm drove them out of their course and they were far to the south off the island of Cuba when Thaddeus, in his pirate ship, flying the black flag, bore down on them. t's of no us cried the captain of the Patriot, may as well come to, haul down our flag, and surrender.” “Don't haul down the flag!" cried Theodosia, “if we are to die, let it be with the flag still flying over us. If they wish to take it down let them go aloft and do It.” This patriotic remark was greeted with cheers by the members of the crew and passengers. They seemed to recog- tize in Theodosia a woman of nerve, spirit. and intelligence. One passenger remarked to another: "I wish to Heaven she ‘was the captain of the ship.” The captain's orders were obeyed so far as coming to was concerned and, !n a short time, the Patriot was drifting idly. The pirate ship also stopp@i in {ts course. What did ft mean? They were soon to learn. Four boats, each filled with men, set off from tho pirate, and were rowed rapidly toward the Patriot. “The cutthroats are coming,” cried the captain, “and they will give us no quarter. Say your prayers, for they will not give you time when they are once on board.” “But,” crled Theodosia, “are we to make no resistance? Are we to stand here and allow ourselves to be taken or killed without one word of remonstrance? Are we to make no effort whatever to save our lives?" “It will do no good," answered the captain, we do against sixty bloodthirsty pirates; each boats has fifteen men in it." “But you haye a cannon mounted there!” exclaimed Theo- osia, and she pointed to the stern of the boat. ‘Have you any ammunition?” Yes," answered the captain, “the carpenter knows where it Is. But what's the use? Every one of us ts sure to meet death at thelr hands.” “But,” sald Theodosia, “we can die but once. and they ean do no more than kill us Sf we Kill some of them." ‘Then she erled: “Gentlemen, arm yourselves with what- ever weapons you can find. Where is the carpenter?’ He stepped forward. ‘We will do what we can,” she sald, “to defend ourselves.” The small cannon was soon loaded and primed. ‘Does any one know how to fire tt? asked Theodosia. “No,"" sald the captain, “we never fire it except on Fourth of July and then I always hire an extra man to take charge of It." “Then I will fire it! cried Theodosia. With the assist- ance of tho carpenter and one of the passengers the gun was sighted. Theodosia touched it off and, as luck would have it, the alm was good. The ball struck the forward boat, tearing through {t In such a way that {t soon filled with water and tho pirates were obliged to jump from it helter-skelter. They were soon picked up by the other boats which kept on thelr way toward the ship. As the pirates reached the deck, Theodosia grasped a cut- lass. Suddenly, in front of her, the ‘head of a man appeared, his hands grasping the bulwark. Raising the sword aloft, she brought it down on one hand, severing it ¢rom his body. ‘With a yell of rage, he let go his-hold with the other hand “Good God!

Then the survivors of the Patriot were bound, thelr hands being tied behind them with strong cords, The leader af the party came towant Theodosia with a savage leer upon ts face. He grasped her rudely by her hands, pulled them behind her back, and tied them so tightly that the cords cut into her tender flesh. Then he looked into her face with a sardonic smile, but she faced him bravely. The prisoners wero taken into one of the boats and were rowed to the pirate ship. The victors teft on the Patriot ransacked the vessel fore and aft, The captain's cabin was gone through and all the letters and everything of value that it contained taken. ‘The cargo was of no particular use to the captors. They could not go into port and dispose of rice and cotton and tobacco, so Jules Drebat, the leader of the attacking party, gave orders to scuttle the shtp. This was soon done, and, while the boats were returning ¢o tho pirate ship, the unfortunate craft filled with water and finally plunged beneath the waves to join the innumerable caravan of ships that had preceded it. But one person of the Patriot's band was left alive— Theodosia Burr Allston. Thaddeus clalmed her for his own, and she was compelled to go with him. Fearing the vengeance of his orew, whose rules he vio- lated in preserving this woman, Thaddeus resolved to leave them. He drew her from her cabin at night, as his ship lay Jn a harbor off a cove he knew, and placed her in a smal! boat. Taking up the oars, he pulled rapidly in the direction of the little cove. It was quite a distance to the shore and It veesned as though the darkness grew deeper and deeper as they progressed. They were just at the mouth of the little bay, having turned one of the points, wnen suddenly their Httle boat came Into collision with something. Theodosta’s first thought was that they had struck a rock or had run ashore, but her attention was immediately aroused by the sound of a voice, and the next moment a Iantern was turned toward them, the light flashing fmto their little boat. With an oath, Captain Thaddeus dropped his oars, jumped to his feet, and, grasping Theodosia about the waist with| his left arm, sprang into the water. As he did so, the light! from the lantern was turned full upon them and Theodosta saw ¢hat their little craft had come into collision with a larger boat filled with sallors. In the bow stood a young man holding the lantern in one hand and a pistol in the other. “By God!" he cried, 'tls Captain Thaddeus,” and his voice rang out loud and clear in the stillness of tne night. As he spoke, he pointed his pistol and fired; then drawing his other pistol, he fired again. Both shots took effect. His alm had Veen true. The first had struck Theodosia in her right side, In fact, had inflicted a severe but not fatal wound; the sec- ond had been better aimed, for it entered the heart of Capt. ‘Thaddeus and, without a cry, he loosed his hold upon Theo- dosia and sank beneath the waves. “Pull, boys! pull!" cried the officer. “There @ woman with him.” A few strokes of the oars and the boat was close to Theodosia. The officer had turned his light upon the water and saw her long hatr floating upon the waves. He reached out and, as the boat drew nearer, he leaned over the side and with the help of one of the sailors Theodosia was lifted In. ‘The cloak had fallen from her shoulders while In the water and tho dress that she wore was stained with the blocd from her wound, “Now, pull for the ship, boys;" cried the officer. “I hope to Heaven this young woman {s not mortally wounded. We'll get her to the surgeon as soon as we can.” ‘The boat wes driven rapidly forward by a dozen willing hands in the direction of a British sloop-of-war, riding at anchor in the little bay, whose outlines were dimly seen through the darkness, (To Be Continued.) “THE SPENDERS,” By Harry Leon Wilson, (Published by Lothrop Publishing Company) WILL BEGIN IN Monday’s Evening World Miss G.

A HINT TO THE LOVER. There are signs patent to the lover who understands how to read them, even thouwh some of them may be written in symoathetls ink, which calls for the warmth of loye to render them legible, vaye the ‘Pittsburg Despatch. When the lover, who would fain would woo, sees his inamorat's eye grow brighter at his when her volce takes onan added Sweetness for him alone; when she Iis- tens always with attention, not to be mistaken for the well-bred patience ‘which Is so often its counterfelt, to his most trivial utterances and quot his opinions; when she seldom or never pleads a prior engagement to his invita- Vtons, he may safely take it for granted thet he will not ue in vain. When the fateful question has been asked and the anewer Is in the negative, the earnest suitor is not obliged to take “no” for the final decision of the court.

But these are real live lttle girls and boys, human dolls hid away tn dim back rooms of Mott and Pell streets, where the eye of the foreign devil seldom pene- trates, and the camera, hated of all good Chinamen, has never reared its hooded head. To every Chinaman faithful to the tenets of Confucius !t {s known that the camera !s an Instrument of the devil and that the {mage the sun develops on the sensitive plate is wrought by the Evil One. A Chinese child under ten years of age who has been photographed is regarded by her parents as doomed, and from their earliest infancy the little human dolls of Mott street are taught to run from the photographer as thelr better informed neighbors of Madison and Clinton streets are tfstructed to avoid the cop. Notwithstanding the diMoulty of pene- trating the Chinese home, harder of ac- cess to the unknown intruder than the residences of exclusive New York s0- clety, The Evening World photographer yesterday photographed eight of the FTY CHINESE BABIES TO BE FOUND IN NEW YORK GITY, most secluded Chinese babtes, In China- town, where nearly ten thousand slant- eyed Célestials are gathered. there are perhaps twenty-five Chinese women and fitty Chinese babies. ‘The Chinese baby doll 1s provided with & special apparatus by Which he is made to ery upon the slightest provocation.
