Heeler laughed. Two days ago he
would have asked no better luck than
the helping of Dom Corria to regain
his presidentship. Now there was Iris
to protect He would not be content
to leave her In charge of the flat
piny collier they eucountered, nor
was be by any means sure that she
would agree to be thug disposed of.
He was puzzled by the 'teenier ana-
ninety of purpose displayed„ by his
shipmates. But that was their affair.
His was to insure Iris' safety. The
future be must leave to Providence.
And, indeed, Providence contrived
things very differently.
By nightfall the launch was a hun-
dred miles west of the island. Norrie
got eight knot* out of her, but It need-
ed no special calculation to discover
that she would barely make the coast
of Brasil If she consumed, every onnee
of coal and wood on board. Were ft

tante As ft was, unless tbey received
a fresh supply of fuel from anotber
ship, they must unquestionably take
tee straightest line to the mainland.
During the day they had sighted
three vessels, but at such distances
that signaling was useless. Moreover,
they had to be cautious. The cruiser,
trusting to her speed, might try a long
cast north and south of the launch's
supposed path. The hours of daylight
were tortured by constant fear. Ewen
Iris was glad when the darkness came
and they were hidden.
At o'clock in the morning, by
Vowel reckoning, they were midway
between island and continent They
were all wide awake, too weary and
miserable to sleep. Suddenly a fog-
horn emote the oppressive gloom. It
drew near. A huge blotctr crossed
their bows. Tbey heard some order
given in a foreign language, and De
Sylva whispered:
"The Sao Geroolmo! The cruisers
In a little while, pert{aps- twenty
minutes, they heard another strep It
sounded a different note, a quaintly
harsh blend of discordb. Whatsoever

Coke's gruff voice reached every ear:
"This time we're nabbed for keeps
unless you all do as I bid you." be
said. "When the fog lifts the cruiser
will see us. There's only one thing for
it. Somewhere, close in, is a steamer.
She's a tramp. by the wheeze of 'er

Dozier. who bad contrived to draw
near Iris while Coke was speaking,
breathed softly, so that none other
could bear:
"This Is rank piracy. But ,,what else
can we do?"
"la It wrong?" abe asked.
"Nell -no. provided we kill no one.

CHAPTER XII.
A LIVELY LOR!IIAO IN EXCHANGE SCOLD-
MNOI.
COBE and his merry men be-
came pirates during tbe early
morning of Thursday, Sept 2.
On Monday, Sept. 6, David
Verity entered bis office In Exchange
buildings. Liverpool. and ran a fever -
:tab glance through his letters to learn
if any envelopes bearing this planetary
derlces of the chief cable companies
had managed to hide themselves among
the mass of correspondence. There
'was no cablegram, of course. Dickey
Bulmer, who had become n waking
nightmare to the unhappy shipowner.
had said there exouldn't be -said 1t
twelve hours ago after wringing frien
Verity the astounding admleslnn teat
Iris was on board the A^r!ro^•
was not because the vessel was Aver -
due that David confessed. Buttner,
despite his sixty-eight years, was an
acute man of business. Moreover, be
was blessed with a retentive memory,
and he treasured every word of the
bogus message, from Iris concocted by
her uncle.
The storm had burst unexpectedly.
Balmer came to dinner, ate andedrank
and smoked in quiet amity until Da-
vid's laboring muse conveyed his
niece's latest "kind love an' good
wishes,' and then" -
"Tell yon wot," said Dickey, "there's
another five thousand due tomorrow oa
the surveyor's report."
"There fit," said Verity, knowing
that his guest and prospective partner
alluded to the new steamer in course
of construction on the Clyde.
'Well, It won't be 'paid. You are
lyIn' about Iris. You've been 'yin' ever
since she disappeared from Bootle.
Show me 'er letters an' their envelopes,
an' I'll find the money. But of course
you can't. Tbey don't exist"
Then David set down the uptaated
wine and told the truth. Not all -that
was not to be dreamed of. In the
depths of his heart be feared Balmer.
The old man's repute for honesty was
-widespread. He would fling his dear-
est
eerest friend Into prison foretucb a swin-
dle ad that *mowed between Coke sad
the shipowner.
Dickey rem trona the table. His
movements *bowed his age that night
"I'1' think it over, David," he said.
'There's more in this than meets the
eye."
So here was Verity with no shred of
hope in bis mind that tits one time
crony would raise a finger to save him
from bankruptcy.
The once boy announced a visitor,
evidently not the terrible Weiner, dace
he said:
"Gennelman to see yet'. sir."
"00 is Itr growled tbe shipowner.
"'Gennelman from the noospaper."
A quiet mannered young man am-
, peered.
"May 1 ask if you have received any
private news of tee Andromeda?" be
began.
David creaked rotted in bis chair.
"Is abe lost?" said be In a strangely
subdued tone.
"i-1 fear abe 1e But tbere is much
more than an ordinary shipwreck at
Issue. Several telegrams of tbe grav-
est import nave reacbed us this morn -
lag. Perhaps before I ask you any
' questions you aught to read them.
They are In type already, and 1 have
brought you the proofs. Here is the
fled."
David took from the interviewer's
' outstretched bead s long .trip of white
paper. For as appre ,.Tote time his
seething brain refused to comprehend
Um curiously black letters, for this 1s

The shipowner tramped another print-
ed slip. This time be was able to read
more lucidly:

foregoing ltatement is unomcial, but your

credit a widespread rumor that the Island

certain that he has not landed In Brasil,
but the reticence of the authorttles as to

Something buzzed inside Verity's
bead and stilled W sense of actuality.
He gazed at the reporter unblinkingly,
as tbough thougbt itself refused to act
"Is that the lot?" be inquired me-
chanically.
"Nearly all, at present. Here, how-
ever, is a short telegram from Paris
which is of minor interest"
And Verity read again:
Paris. Sept t.
The members of Dom Corria de Sylva's
family, seen early this morning at the
Hotel Continental, deny that any lady
connected with the carate of Brazilian
freedom took part In the attempted rescue.,
of the ex -president They are much an-
noyed by the unfounded report and hold
strongly to the opinion that the revolu-
tion would now hake been a fait accompli
had not a traitor revealed the destination
of the Andros -y -Mels and thus led to that
vessel's detention at Bahia.
The lady! Iris Yorke! At last Da-
vid's stipdreharged mind wee begld-
ning to assimilate Ideas. The journal-
ises voice came to him as through a
dense screen.
"You will observe that the former
president's relatives tacitly admit that
there was a plot on foot," the other
was saying. "It is important to note,
too, that the long message from Per-
nambuco, marked delayed In trans-
mission; seems to imply a prior tele-
gram wbich was suppressed. It. al-
ludes to a revolt of which nothing is
known here. Now, Mr. Verity, 1 want
to ask you" -
Tie door was flung open. In rushed
Dickey Balmer. In his bands he held
a crumpled newspaper.
"Yon infernal blackguard, have you
seen this?" be roared.
David stood up. He held on to the
table to steady himself. Even Balmer,
white with rage, could not fail to see
that he wai stunned.
' But Dickey was not minded to spare
him on that seconnt

"Well, wot d'ye think of It?"
"Did you send the ship to Fernando

forcible and served its purpose. That
should mince.
"If -if Iris' is alive the partnership

"D'ye mean It?"
"I always mean wot I say."
The click of an indicator on the desk
showed that Verity's private telephone
had been switched on from the gen-
eral office. By' sheer force of routine
David picked hp a receiver and placed
it to his ear. The subeditor of the
newspaper whose representative had

SPOIE TO A CHOST
Queer Incident In Which Bishop
Wilberforce Figured.
THE STORY THE SPIRIT TOLD.
Singular Disclosure That Was Said a
Have Been Made by the Quiet Cleri-
cal Specter That Had Long Haunted
an English Country House.
The followiug remarkable incident 1e.
the life of the late Samuel Wilberforce.
bishop of Oxford and afterward of
Winchester, Is related as absolutely an-
tteotic, and the good bishop himself 1s
said to have many ties rehearsed the
story to his friends:
On a certain occasion the worthy
bishop had accepted an Invitation to
stay at a country house not far from
London. 'Entering the drawing room
previous to dinner on the evening of
his arrival, he noticed a clergyman sit-
ting by the open firs and taking no
part in the general conversation. the
bishop was somewhat surprised at not
being presented to the clergyman, and
his astonishment was great when a
few moments later, dinner being an-
nounced. the guests retired, leaving the
clergyman a,t his place by the tire. The
hostess having assigned Ili:liop Wil-
berforce the seat of honor et her right
band, as soon as an opportnoity offer-
ed he remarked:
"I beg your pardon, madam. but may
I inquire who was the clergyman we
left sitting in the drawing room?"
"Ab, you have seen him, then?" re-
plied the lady. "It 1s not every one
who has that privilege. l cannot tell
you wbo be 1s or wbeuce he comes.
For many years this specter has haunt-
ed the house^and grounds. 1t has, in
fact been a tradition In the family. He
seems to do no harm, and, although be
appears only occaslooally, we have be-
come quite accustomed to our friendly
ghost"
"How very singular!" remarked bis
lordship. "But have you never ad-
dressed your specterr
"Indeed. I have had no opportunity.
nor the desire, for that matter," re-
sponded the bootees, growing pale.
"May I take the Hberty nowr in-
quired the dignitary.
"With all my heart, your lordship."
replied the lady., The bishop arose
and, returning to the drawing room,
found the clergyman where be bad
lett him a few minutes before. Hav-
ing no fear, the bishop said kindly:
"Who are you. my friend, and why
are you here?"
The specter seemed to sigh deeply
and gay as though to Itself, "At lasts
Then in a bollow voice. addressing
the bishop, it continued: "I am the
spirit of a clergyman who left tits

to do my bidding. I was called WWI
bonne eighty years ago to receive a
confession from a dying man. He
was the sole possesser of a secret the
knowledge of which would alter ma-
terially the entail of this vast estate.
and In his death bo wisbed to repair
the terrible wrong upon his kin. e,
"At his request I wrote down the
confession word for word as he gave
tt to me, and when be finished be ex-
pired In my arms. It was very Impor-
tant that I should return to London
that night, and In pawing through the
library to leave tbe bone 1 concluded
it would be safer not to lorry the pa-
per on which wart written the confes-

Nature's Way Is 'i'he Best.
Buried deep in our American forest we find bloodroot, queens root, taw
drake and stone root, golden seal, Oregon grape root sod oberrybark. Of these Dr.
R. V. Pierce made s pure glyceric extract which hu b:eu favorably known for
•over forty years. He called it "Golden Medical Ir)iscovery."
This " Discovery " purifies the blood and tones up the stomach and the enure
system in Nature' own way. It's just the tissue builder and tonic you reuture
when recovering from a hard ooid, grip, or pneumonia. No matter how soon/ the
constitution the stomach is apt to be " out et kilter " at ring in consequence
the blood is disordered, for the stomach is the laboratory for the constant t:,ano.
immure of blood. Dr, Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery strengtt;,eas the stomach-
,. puts it in shape to make pure, rich Etood-'teles the lid.: and
kidneys to expel the poisons from the hod). The wear., :,m-
ous, ren -down, debilitated condition which so many people
experience et this lime of the year is usually tke effect of
poisons in the blood; it is often indicated by pimples or boil:
appeeriag ou the skin, the Ise becomes thio-ywltpel " blue."
