The Harnessmaker I: day after the sack of the town had been a busy one for the buocaneers. First of all, Morgan bad striven, and with some success, to restore some sort of order within the walls. By the aid of his emcers and some or the soberest men he had confiscated all of the liquor that he could come at and had stored it under a strong guard in the west tort, which he selected as his head- quarters. The governor’s palace on file hill above was a more fitting and luxurious residence, and it had been promptly seized, the few defenders having fled in the morning, but for the present Morgan deemed it best to re- main in the city and in close touch with his men. The Spanish aoldiery had been cut down to a man 'the night before, and the majority or the hapless citizens had been billed, wounded or tortured. The untertnnates who were yet alive were driven into the church of San Lorena, where they were kept without flood, water or attention. The gates of the town and torts were closed, and some slight attempt was made to Institute a patrol of the walls, although the guard that was kept was negligent to the point of contempt. As he enemy was apprehended, Morgan no Iervlce untll they were sobered. They were dragged to the barracks. «embed wlth water and left to re- ‘cover u but they could. gena, m in and anchored in the road. Itead. Her oncern at once came aahore 9 pay their reapeeta to the «man- Iante of the port and forward their pa- pca to the Viceroy. Before they ena- pected anything they were seized and ruthleaeiy murdered. To take poaaea- eien of the frigate thereafter was a work of ne apeciai dimcuity. The crew were diepoeed of as their oflcere had been, and the huccaneers rejoiced greatly at the good luck that had brought them no due a ahip. On the next morning Morgan intended to march toward Caracas, whence, after plundering that town and exacting a huge ranaom for the lives of those he epared. he would lead his hand back to La Guayra, embark on the frigate and then bear away for the iethmua. did not heron-1y insist upon strict winch. “any at tho buccaneers were Itili sudden with liquor and could be of l'oflnno tnvorod them, too, in that lnte In the afternoon a handsome trig- nte. bringing dispatches from Cuts}- During the day Hornigold, whose wound incapacitated him from active movement, remained in command of the tort, with special instructions to look after Mercedes. By Morgan’s or- ders she and her companion were re- moved to the best room in the fort and luxuriously provided for. He had not discovered the escape of Alvarado, partly because he took no manner of interest in that young man and only kept him alive to influence the girl and partly because Hornigoid had assured him that the prisoner was taking his confinement very hardly, that he was mad with anger, in a raging fever of disappointment and anxiety and was constantly begging to see the captain. The hoatswain cunningly suggested that it would be just as well to let Alvarado remain in solitude without food or water until the next day, by which time, the boatswain argued, he would be reduced to a proper condition of humility and servitude. Morgan found this advice good. It was quite in consonance with his desires and his practices. He would have killed Alva- rado out of hand had he not consid- , ered him the most favorable card with i which to play the game he was waging with Mercedes for her consent to mar- ry him. 5‘ . tar as he was capable of a genuine aflection he loved the proud Spanish maiden. He would rain persuade her willingly to come to his arms rather than enforce her consent or overcome her scruples by brute strength. There would be something of a triumph in winning her, and this vain, blood stain- ed old brute fancied that he had sum- cient ath'aetiveness tor the opposite sex to render him invincible if he let about his wooing in tho right way. Here again Hornlgold, upon whom. in the absence of Teach, he depended more and more and in whom he con- fided as of old, advised him. “I know women," said that worthy, “and‘all you want is to give her time. Wait until she knows what's happened to the rest of them and sees only you have power to protect her. and she will come to heel right enough. Besides, you haven't given her half a chance.

Hornlgold found means during the day-and it was a matter of no llttle dlmculty to elude the guards he him- self had placed thereâ€"to inform Mer- cedes of the escape of Alvarado and to advise her that he expected the return of that young man with the troops or the Viceroy at 10 o’clock that night. He bade her be of good cheer; that he did not think it likely that Morgan would think of calling upon her or of sending for her until morning, when it would be too late. He promised that he would watch over her and do what he could to protect her; that he would never leave the fort except for a few mo- ments before 10 that night, when he went to admit Alvarado. What was better earnest of his purpose was that be furnished he" with a keen dagger, small enough i; "cecal in the bosom of her dress, and advised her if worst came to worst, and there was no other way, to use it. He impressed on her that on no account was fine to allow Morgan to get the slightest inkling of his communication to her, for if the chief buccaneer found this out Herni- gold’s life would net be worth a mo- ment’s thought and Alvarado would be balked in his plans of rescue. 1Mercedes most thankfully received the weapon and promised to respect the confidence. As far as creature comforts were concerned, the two women fared well. Indeed, they were sumptuously, lavish- ly, prodigaliy provided for. Senora Agapida was still in a state of com- plete prostration. She lay helpless on a couch in the apartment. and minis- tering to her distracted the poor girl's mind, yet such a day as Mercedes de Lara passed she prayed she might never again experience. The town was filled with the shouts and cries of the buccaneers wandering to and fro. singing drunken choruses. now and again routing out hidden fugitives from places of fancied security and torturing them with ready ingenuity whenever they were taken. The con- fusion was increased and the noise di- versified by the shrieks and groans of these miserable wretches. Sometimes the voices that came through the high windows were those of women, and the sound of their screams made the heart of the brave girl sink like lead in her breast. For the rest, she did not understand Hornigoid’s position. She did not know whether to belie-7e him or not. but of one thing wss she certainâ€"where“ she had been defenseless, now she hsd a weapon, and she could use it it nec- essary. With that in hsnd she wss mistress st lesst of her own tste. As evening drew on. everything hav- ing been attended to, Morgan began to tire of his isolation. and time hung heavy on his hands. He was weary of the women whom he had hitherto cen- sorted with. The other oflcers, between whom and himself there was no sort of friendship, were busy with their own nefarious wickednessea in the dif- ferent parts of the fort or town, and he sat a long time alone in the guard- room drinking; Black Dog, as usual, pouring at his side. The liquor in- flamed his imagination, and he craved companionship. Summoning Herni- gold at last, he bade him bring Donna Mercedes before him. The old man at- tempted to expostulate, but Morgan's mood had changed, and he brooked no hesitation in obeying any order given by him. There was nothing for the boatawain to do but to comply. Once more Mercedes, therefore. found herself in the guardroom of the fort in the presence of the man she loathed and feared above all others in creation. She glanced at the clock. a recent im- portation from Spain, hanging upon the wall, as she entered and saw that it was half after 9. Ten was the hour Hornlgoid had appointed to meet Alva- rado at the gate. She' hoped that he would be early rather than late, and, if she could withstand the buccaneer by persuasion. seeming compliance or by force for a short space, all would be ’1 didn't know you knew so much ' well, for ahe never doubted that her lover would come for her.
