Qne ^c^of these was Capt. Charles Vane. Uie ; "Scourge of the Carolina Coast. Vane began his career by stealing } ' from the Spaniards the silver which they were salvaging from a galleon H wrecked tn the Gulf of Florida. There Ste ' - Vss but lltqe profit In this, however so Ife stole a ship, enlisted a crew of "brethren of the main" and began ranging up and down the coast from Florida to New York, capturing and looting every vessel which he could overtake. Finally the governor of South Carolina sent an armed sloop unAfr the famous Colonel Rhet to put an end to the depredations, but Vane j eluded him. During tMs time Vane : met Blackbeard and the two great pirate leaders saluted each other with •cannon loaded with shot.. After these civilities were exchanged, the two crews Joined In a glorious debauch. * Soon after this Vane was deposed by his crew and marooned on an island because he refused to fight a big French ship which he met. However, he was soon back in the business again and enjoying great prosperity when /misfortune struck him again. A tor- • nado wrecked his ship and he and a few others were washed up on a desert island near Honduras Finally a ship put in for water and Vane was delighted to find that it was commanded by a "dear old friend," Captain Holford. Captain Holford, however, knew only too well what sort of man Vane was. He told the pirate leader bluntly, "I shall not trust you aboard my ship " unless I carry you as a prisoner, for I shall have you caballing with my men knock me on the head and run away with my ship a-plrating." So he re fused to rescue Vane, and declared that if upon his return within a month he found fhe pirate still there, he would be taken to Jamaica to be hanged. Some time later another ship put In and the captain of this vessel, igno rant of Vane's real character, took him aboard. Vane quickly won his way into the good graces of this commander by showing himself to be a "brisk hand." Then misfortune again overtook the pirate leader. Captain Holford sailed Into the harbor again and upon going aboard the other captain's ship, immediately spied Vane and told the captain what a dangerous guest he had on board. So they clapped the luckless pirate In Irons.; „ took him to Jamaica where Captain j '* Holford had the pleasure of handing' •••r his "dear old friend" to the authorities to be sufficiently hanged. (A 1(I(. Western New.papei Unloa.) ALONGL TRAIL By THOMAS ARKLE CLARK Den of Men. Vulvrralty •( lUlMlat VACATION WE WERE pretty tired, Nancy and I. She had been busy with clubs and luncheons and a house full of company and I had seen people until my head ached ancj my brain refused to function on the simplest matters. Whenever I recognized Duty coming around the corner I tried to dodge behind. something. All I wanted was to get away from things. We got into the car one Friday noon and drove off toward Indiana. We did not know where we were going nor did we care, just so we got where there were no telephones, no telegraph messenger boys, no special delif^ry letters, no callers, no one who*4fnew us or had any desire to do so. , We drove for a hundred miles or so until we came to a stream and a wooded valley and a big farmhouse with a sign displayed "Rooms and Meals." We parked the car and went in. The place looked as attractive inside as out, and there was the odor of fried chicken coming from some remote part of the house. Would they take us? They would, and we were shown to an oid-fashlon'ed room on the second story. '• The moon was shining and stars were coming out when we came into the yard after supper--the quietest and most peaceful moon I had ever seen--and as dusk came on the whlppoorwills began to call. We slept soundly during the night. Next day we wandered Into the woods. There were ferns and flowers and singing birds. Rabbits and chipmunks ran in and out among the bushes, and out on a log in the little stream a turtle was sunning himself. We walked until we were tired and then lay stretched upon the soft grass watching the feathery white clouds drift across an Indigo blue sky. There was no one to be entertained, no danger of Interruption, no obligation to do anything or to see anyone. It was a new environment, a new atmosphere, and we got a different view of life than the one we had when we started. We were recreated, as it were. New energy and new life came into our bodies. When we drove back Sunday evennlng we were new creatures ready to take up the work again, ready to meet whatever problem presented Itself for solution. We had been In a new and different world for a time and were now eager to get back to the old one. We had had a vacation. (©. 1926, Weetern Newspaper Unl.B.)

A four enjoys no privileges ftot extendi a three-ball match. From a practical standpoint, course, a single match--that Is, one of two players--may be expected to play faster than a four-baller, or even a three-bailor. At the same time, a glow single match has no more right to hold up a fast-playing four-baller than four players would to hold up two. If more than one clear hole ta open ahead of any kind of match, the one immediately following has the right to ask to go through, and the etiquette and courtesy of the game demand that the match on which the request is made stand aside and allow the other to play through. (A by the Bell Syndicate, In*.) Birthetone Old Ornament t Birthstones are among the oldest forms of Jewelry. The group of 12 stones, one for each month of the calendar year, may have been related to the 12 stones In the breastplate worn by the High Priest Aaron as described in the Book of Exodus. Each of the 12 stones represented one of the tribes of the Children of Israel and the name of the tribe was inscribed on the stone. As early as 4000 B. C.' another high priest, this time «n Egypt, wore a breastplate of 12 small stones or crosses. Ancient Egyptian carvings preserve this interesting bit of history. A relationship between the breastplates of the two high priests seems probable.->-New York Times.
