E clock on the wall was strik- ing 11 as Hornigold forced his prisoners into the guardroom of the first fort that had been cap- tured, which, as it was the larger of the two, Morgan had selected as his headquarters. Mercedes’ soul had turn- ed to stone at the sights and sounds which met her as she passed through the town, where the hellish revelry was now in full blast. The things she wit- nessed and heard were enough to ap- pall the stoutest heart that ever beat within the rudest breast. She forget her own danger in her sympathy for the sufl'erlng inhabitants of the devoted town. Ghastly pale and sick with her- The agony and suifering, the torture and death, the shame and dishonor of his people aflected Alvarado different- ly. His soul flamed within his breast with pity for the one, rage for the oth- er. He lasted and thirsted to break ror, she tattered and staggered as she entered the room. As for the Senora Agaplda, she had collapsed long since, and for the last hundred yards of the journey had been dragged helplessly along by two of her captors, who threw her in a senseless heap on the stone flagging of the great vaulted chamber. away and single handed rush upon the human wolves and tigers who were de- spoiling women, torturing men, mur- dering children, as if they had been devils. The desire mastered him, and be writhed and struggled in his bonds, but unavallingly. It was a haggard. distracted pair, therefore, which was brought before the chief buccaneer. Morgan sat at the head of the guardroom on a platform, a table before him strewn with reckless prodigallty with vessels of gold and silver stolen from altar and sideboard lndifferently, some piled high with food. others brimming with a variety of liquors, from the rich old wines of Xeres to the fiery native rum. L’Ollo- nols. Teach and De Lussan were also In the room. Teach was. roaring out a song, that song of London town, with 'ts rollicking chorus: "Though life now is pleasant and sweet to the sense. We'll be damn-ably moldy a hundred years hencefi' The room was full of plunder of one sort and another. and the buccaneers were being served by frightened negro slaves, their footsteps quickened and their obedience enforced by the sight of a dead black in one corner whom De Lussan had knifed a short time since because he had been slow in coming to his call. The smell of spill- ed liquor, of burnt powder and of blood. indescribable and sickening. hung in the close. hot air. Lamps and candles were flaring and spluttering in the room, but the greater illumination : came through the open easements from s Illlllo LII-ADJ oners. Safety was a paramount con- sideration. “That‘s well said, Hornigold.” cried Morgan, who was not so drunk that he could not realize the practical value of Hornigold’s suggestion and the great 1' \Il sl ILIUqu Ill. lib l-Vlfiuh Ipuu . danger of disregarding his advice. ‘ “The pass must be seized at all hazard.

Drive them forward, Homigold!” he cried as he saw Mercedes and Alvarado made no attempt to move. “Advance quickly,” whispered Hor- nlxold to Alvarado; “to cross him now were death.” Selling them with a great show of force, he eheved them down the hall to the foot of the platform, in front of the revelers. “I welcome thee to our court, fair lily, end you, breve eir.

The force with which he struck him hurled him backward, and the two fell to the floor, the maroon beneath. His head struck a corner of the step with a force that would have killed a white man. In an instant, however, the negro was on his feet. He whipped out his dag- ger and would have plunged it into the breast of the prostrate Spaniard had not Mercedes, lightly boundâ€"for, being a woman, they thought it not necessary to be unusually severe in her lashingsâ€" wrenched free her hands and caught the half breed's impraised arm. “Hold your hand, Black Dog,” an- swered that worthy. “Leave the man and come hither.

Although Teach and L'Ollonoia had no mind to leave the pleasures open to them in La Guayra, yet they were both men of intelligence and could easily see the absolute necessity fer the precaution suggested by Hornigeld and accepted by their captain.

If the cod fish became extinct it would be a world-wide calam- ity, because the oil that comes from its liver surpasses all other fats in nourishing and life-giving properties.
