Your past rank should warrant you a gentleman but for this. There is no war between England and Spain. What is the meaning of this outrage? This lady is the daughter of the Viceroy of Venezuela. I am his captain and the comandante or yon- der city or La Guayra. You have way- lald us, taken us at a disadvantage. My men are killed. For this assault his excellency will exact bloody repa- ration. Meanwhile give order that we be unbound. and let us pass." “Ho, ho!” laughed the buccaneer. “Think you I fear the Viceroy? Nay. not his majesty of Spain himself! I came here with set purpose to take La Guayra and then Caracas and to bear away with me this pretty lady, upon whom, I repeat, I design to bo- Itow the honor of my name.” “fionstér!” screamed the girl, appall- ed by the hideous leer which accompa- nied his words. “Rather anything"- As he spoke he leaned toward Mer- cedes, threw his arm around her waist and before she was even aware of his intention kissed her roughly on the cheek. “Lads,” he cried. “three cheers for the future Lady Morgan!” The proud Spanish girl turned white as death under this insult. Her eyes flashed like coals of are. Morgan was close beside her. She was without weapon save a jeweled whip that hung at her wrist. Before the first note of t cheer could break from the lips of the men she lifted it and struck him vio- lently again and again full in the face. “A new king, Mistress de Lara, sits the English throne. He likes me not. I and these gslisnt seamen are going to establish s kingdom in some sweet is- isnd in the south seas with our good swords. I would tain have a woman to hear me company on the throne.

She raised her whip once more, but this time young Teach, coming on the other side, caught her hand, wrested the jeweled toy from her and broke it in the struggle. “Thou shalt pay dearly for those stripes, lady!” roared Morgan, swerv- ing closer to her. “And not now in hon- orable wedlock"â€" ‘°I will die first!” returned Mercedes. Alvarado meanwhile had been strug- gling desperately to free himself. By the exercise of superhuman strength, just as Morgan again menaced the wo- man he loved he succeeded in freeing himself from his 1003er tied bonds. His guards for the moment had their attention distracted from him by the group on horseback. He wrenched a sword from the hand of one, striking him a blow with his naked fist that sent him reeling as he did so, and then lung out his other arm so that the heavy pommel of the sword struck the second guard in the face, and the way was clear for the moment. He sprang forward instantly, seized Morgan's horse, forced him away from Mercedes by a wrench of his powerful arm and stood at bay in front of the woman he loved. He said no word, but stood with his sword up on guard, panting heavily from his fierce exertions. SIR HENRY MORGAN \ BUCCANEER "Alvarado, you will be killed!” Icreamed the girl, seeing the other: make for him. "Stay!" shouted De Luann. “There is a better way.” Rndely shoving Senora Agapldn aide, he seized Mercedes from behind. “Here we have it," sneered Morgan. “This is the secret of your refusal. He is your lover." “'Soize him!” cried Teach, raising hi: sword, as, followed by the others, he made at Alvarado, who awaited them undaunted. :‘B¢;_x'1;trxâ€"xxvéie. madomolulle,” he said in French. in his excitement. which fortunately she understood. ‘ “That’s well done!" cried Morgen. “Captain Alvarado, it that be your name. throw down your sword If you would one the lady's lite." “Now seize hlm and bind him again!

They are all gone." “"You’d best kiil him. captain.” said L’Ollonols. young w’bfiifi's cIee‘E. "W11? pi? if. blow: for knees?

Are the rest silent?” The rising moon flooding the white stxand made the scene as It "ht as 1133'. hey kept good watch on the walls of La Guayra, for the sound of the shots in the night air had been heard by some keen cared sentry. and as a re- suit the garrison had been called to arms. The firing had been too heavy to be accounted for by any ordinary cir- cumstances, and officers and soldiers had been at a loss to understand it. However, to take precautions were wise, and every preparation was made as it against an immediate attack. The drums were beaten, the ramparts were manned, the guns were primed, and such of the townspeople as were not too timid to bear arms were assembled under their militia omcers. The watchers on the west wall of the tort were soon aware of the approach of the buccaneers. Indeed, they made no concealment whatever about their motions. Who they were and what they were the garrison had not dis- covered and could not imagine. A prompt and well aimed volley, how- ever, as seen as the bunaneers came within range apprised them that they were dealing with enemies, and de- termined enemies at that. Under cov- er of the confusion caused by this un- expected discharge Morgan deployed his men. “Lads," he sald, “we’ll board you tort with a rush and a cheer. The lad- ders will be placed on the walls. and under cover of a heavy are from our muketry we’ll go over them. Use only the cutlau when you gain the parapet and ply like men.

Watch the muskcteers. We would have no firing into our backs. Now bring up the priests. And, Hornigold, watch Senorita de Lara. See that she does not escape. On your life, man, I’d rather hold her sate,” he muttered under his breath, “than take the whole city of Caracas." Spaniards down until you hear us cheer. After that hold your fire." With shouts of fiendish glee the buc- caneers drove the hapless abbess and priests, who had been dragged along in the rear, to the front. The Spaniards were firing at them now, but with no eifect so far. The distance was great and the moonlight made aim uncertain, and every time a head showed itself over the battlement it became a target for the fire of the musketeers, who, by Hornigold’s orders, ran forward under the black shadow cast by the high cliff, where they could not be seen, and from this point of concealment, taking de- liberate alm, made havoc among the defenders. “Now, good fathers,” began Morgan, “you have doubtless been curious to know why you were not put to death. I saved you not because I loved you, but because I needed you. I had a purpose in View. That purpose a now apparent." “What would you do with us sen ’ . or?

Morgan. covered by Black Dog, with Teach, De Lussan and L'Olloaois, was in the lead. The desperate onslaught of their overwhelming numbers, once they had gained a foothold. swept the defenders before them like chat. Wait- ing for nothing, they sprang down from the tort and raced madly through the narrow streets of the town. They brushed opposition away as leaves are driven aside by a winter storm. Ere the defenders on the east forts could realize their presence they were upon them also. In half an hour every man bearing a weapon had been cut down. The town was at the mercy of this horde of hu- man tigers. They broke open wine cel- lars, they pillaged the provision shops, they tortured without mercy the mer- chants and inhabitants to force them to discover their treasures, and they in- sulted the helpless women. They were completely beyond control now. Drunk with slaughter, intoxicated with liquor, mad with lust, they ravaged and plun- was in ashes. The pale moon looked down upon a scene of horror such as it had never before shone upon even in the pnlmtut days of the buccaneers. HE musketeers under Hornio gold, chosen for their mastery with the weapon, had played their parts with cunning skill. Concealed from observation by the deep shadow of the clifls and there- fore immune from the enemy's fire. they had made targets of the Span- iards on the walls and by a close, rap. id and well directed discharge had kept down the return of the garrison until the very moment of the assault. Hornlgold was able to keep them in hand for a little space after the cap- ture of the town, but the thought of the pleasure being enjoyed by their comrades was too much for them. Anxious to take 1 hand in the hideoue fray, they stole away one by one. slinking under the cliff until they were beyond the tench of the bontswain. then boldly rushing for the town in the open, until the old sailor mo left with only a half dozen of the most de- pendable surrounding himself and prisonen. The rest would not have got away from him so easily had he not been so intensely occupied that at first he had taken little note of what wu going on. Mercedes and Alvarado had only op- portunity to exchange e word now and then, for extended conversation was prevented by the guards. Alve- rado strove to cheer the women he loved, and she promised him she would choose instent death rather then dis- honor. He could give her little en. conregement of rescue. for unless word of their plight were cerried to the Viceroy irnrnedisteLv he would be an 'en the we, to the Orinoco country Io- tere eny tidings could reech him, end by the time he returned it would he too into.
