Blood would lave slipped. out e'
Port I oyal again that same night, BM
that hotrod l3isair p had passed the
word, and tine fait kept a sharp look-
out. In the en , though it took a
fortnight,' Blood: bubbled him. He
sent "rte and' xn''st o' the men off in
a frigate that I bought for the voy-
age 1-1,is . game --as he'd. secretly:
tald me -was to follow and ;?; -, e
chase. Whether that's the game he
played or not I. can't tell ye; but
here he is afore:; me as I'd expected
he would be,"
Having delivered himself of his de-
coction of fact and falsehood;_ and.
thereby added .one more to the ex-
ploits of Peter Blood, . he enquired
where r the Captain might be found,
Being informed that he; kept his ship,
Wolverstone stepped into a boat and
went aboard, to report himself, as he
pint it.
"Lord, Peter! Zs there never : to be
no end to this?" the giant growled.
In the great cabin of the Arabella
he found Peter Blood alone and very.
far gone in dri iii—a condition in
which, no man ever before remember-
ed to have seen him. As . Wolver-
stone carne in, the` Captain raised
bloodshot eyes to consider hint. A
moment they sharpened in their gaze
as he brought his visitor into focus.
Then he laughed, a loose, idiotic.
laugh, that yet somehow was half a
sneer.
"My God, Peter, what's this?"
"Rum," said' Peter.. "Rum, from
Jamaica."
"l'nl asking- you what ails.' you?"
he. bawled,
"Rtim,"' Said Captain Blood, again,
and snarled. "Jus' .rum. i answer
all your . questions. Why donjerr an -
sever mine? Whetcher "'goner do wi'
me?,"
"I've done it," said Wolverstone.
"Thank God, ye had the sense to ho„ldl
your tongue till I came:. Are ye so-
ber enough to understand me?”
"Drunk or sober, allirs 'derstaind.
you."
"Then listen,''' And out came the
tale that Woiverstone had told. The
Captain steadied himself to grasp it.
"It'll do aswell aser truth," said he,
wheii Wolverstone had finisliad.
"Ye're maudlin," • • Wolverstone
growled, "We'll talk again torpor
row."
They did; purpose, p but to little ose' , et-
her that day` oi^ on any day thereaf-
ter' while the rains—which setin that
night—endured. Soon the shrewd
Wolverstone discovered that rum was
not what ailed Blood. There was a
canker eating at his heart, and the
Old Wolf knew enough to make ' a.
shrewd guess' of its "nature, - He cur-
sed all things that dangled petticoats,
and, knowing his world, waited for
the sickness to -pass,
But it did not pass. When Blood,
was not dieing er drinking in the ta-
verns of Tortuga, keeping company
that in his sailer days he had loathed,
he was shut up in his cabin aboard the
Arabella, alone and uncommunicative,
T -Tis friends at Government House, be-
wildered at this change in him, sought
to reclaim him. Mademoiselle d' Og-
cran, particularly distressed, sent hire
almost daily tnvitatious,' to t•ew of
of whieli he responded.
Sometimes Blood asked himself
why he had come back to Tortuga at
all, He 'teas degenerating visibly, un-
der the eyes of all, He allowed a
blacks beard to grow ,orteheeks that
had ever been so carefully shaven;.
and the long, thick black hair, once'
so sedulously curled, hung now in a
lank, untidy mane: Wolverstone, the
Only one' who held the clue to this
egeneration, ventured once to beard,
it7't frankly about: it.

There's enough plunder in the town
to ternpt the lads, and there's the

Blood was on his feet his eyes
blazing, his livid faoe"liistorted,' "We'll

posals?"
But, at last, as his buccaneers were
g'rowiti-r desperate something hap-
pened brought about by the ,captain's
friend, ;IVS. d`Ogeron. One ;sunny
morning the •governor of Tortuga,
came aboard the Arabella, accompan-
ied by a chubby little gentleman,ami�
able of countenance, amiable and self-
sufficient of manner....
"My captain," M. d Ogeron deliv-
ered himself, "I bring' you M. de
Cussy, the Governor of French His-
paniola., who • desires a word with
you."
• "You have a good force here un-
der your command, my captain;" said
M. de Cussy. "Sonne eight :hundred'
men. I' understand they grow res-
tive."
"I am speaking officially, iniy cap-
tain. There is war between France
and Spain in Europe. It 'is the inten-
tion' of France that this war shall be

Blood. 'They ,cann.e and' the matter

French filibuster, had the honor to
point out to '1ef, de Cussy ;that the
share offered was too sinall. For
one-fifth of the prizes, the':. officers,
would answer for their men; not for
less. This M. de Cussy finally con-
ceded, and the articles were drawn up
and 'signed that very day. The• buc-

CHAPTER XXIII'''
M. I)',E RIVAROL
Captain Blood was in a disgruntled
mood when he sailed frons Tortuga,
and still in that m9od when lie carne
to his moorings in; the b'ay of Petit
Goave. In that same'moocl he greet
ed M. le 'Baron de, Rivarol when this
nobleman with his fleet of five men-'
of -war 't last dropped' anchor, along
side the buccaneer ships.
Summoned to wait on him, Captain
Blood repaired.to the Castle of Petie ,.
Goave, where the interview was . to
take place. The baron, a tall, hawk -
faced man of forty, very cold And. dis-
tant of manner, • measured: Captain
Blood with an eye of obvious disap-
proval. Of Hagthorpe, Yberville and
Wolverstone, who stood ranged be-
hind their captain, he :took nb °heecl

Blood a chair. .
