The Spanish soldiery had been cut down to a man the night before, and the majority of the hapless citizens had been killed, wounded or tortured. The untortunates who were yet alive were driven into the church of San Lorenzo, where they were kept Without food, water or attention. Fortune favored them, too, in that iate in the afternoon a handsome frig- ate. bringing dispatches from Carta- gena, ran in and anchored in the road- stead. Her officers at once came ashore to pay their respects to the coman- dante of the port and forward their pa- pers to the Viceroy. Before they sus- pected anything they were seized and ruthlessly murdered. To take posses- sion of the frigate thereafter was a Work of no special ditilcuity. The crew were disposed of as their officers had CHAPTER XVIII. ‘ E day after the sack of the town had been a busy one for the buocaneers. First of all, Morgan had striven, and with some success, to restore some sort of order within the walls. By the aid of his omcers and some of 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 be selected as his head- quarters. The governor’s palace on the hiil 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 gate. of the town and forts 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 no enemy was apprehended, Morgan did not rigorously insist upon strict watch. Many of the buccaneers were still sodden with liquor and could be of no service until they were sobered. They were dragged to the barracks. drenched with water and left to re- ‘cover as best they could. been, and the buccaneers rejoiced greatly at the good luck that had brought them so fine a ship. On the next mornin Morgan intended to march toward Caracas, whence. after plundering that town and exacting a huge ransom for the lives of those he spared, he would lead his hand back to La Guayra, embark on the frigate and then bear away for the isthmus. During the day Hornlgold, whose wound incapacitated him from active movement, remained in command of the fort, 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 diseovered 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 Hornigold 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. ’i‘he 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 he 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 which to play the game he was waging with Mercedes for her consent to mar- ry him. t' . far as he was capable of a genuine affection he loved the proud Spanish maiden. He would fain persuade her willingly to come to his arms rather than enforce her cement or overcome her scruples by brute strength. There would be something of a triumph in .winaing her, and this vain, blood stain- ed old brute fancied that he had sum- cient attractiveness for the opposite aex to render him invincible it he set about hia wooing in the right way. Here again Homigold, upon whom, in the absence of Teach. he depended more and more and in whom he con- fided an of old, advised him. “I know women,” said that worthy. “and~ all you want is to give her time.

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, whenhe went to admit Almrado. What was better earnest of his purpose was that lady alone, but see that sho‘laéks no't'fi- 1:0 furnished 1" ' '- 311: a keen dagger, mmll enough . coal in the bosom of littl‘ dress, 32. . ..'ised her if worst 0:11:20 to'worst, azul there was no other way. to use it. Ho impressed on her hat on no account vas she to allow Morgan to get the slightest inkling of lzis communication to her. for if the clziof but-cancer found this out Horni- grillll‘s life would not be worth a mo« mom's thought and Alvarado would be lxfilwel in his plans of rescue. Mort-Mes most thankfully received the weapon and promised to respect the confidence. As far as creature comforts were (-ozwei'ned, the two women fared well. indeed, they were sumptuously, lavish- ly, prodigally 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 IIornigold’s position. She did not know Whether to behave him or not, but of one thing was she certainâ€"whereas she had been defenseless, now she had a weapon, and she could use it it nec- essary. With that in hand she was mistress at least of her own fate. 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 con- sorted with. The other officers, between whom and himself there was no sort of friendship, were busy with their own nefarious wickednesses in the dif- ferent parts of the tort 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 expostuiate, but Morgan’s mood had changed, and he brooked no hesitation in obeying any order given by him. There was nothing for the boats wain 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 we'- the hour Hornigold had appointed to meet Alva- rado at the gate. She hoped that he would be early rather than late, and, it she could withstand the buccaneer by persuasion. seeming compliance or by force for a short space, all would be well. for lb. never doubted that her lover would come for her. Even If he had to come single handed and alone to wt for her, she knew he would be there.

He had been drinking heavily, she law, but as he spoke her fair she would answer him accordingly. On his part he had determined to try the gen- tler arts of persuasion, and, though his face still bore the welts made by her riding whip the night before, he strove to forget it and play the gentleman. She answered his question calmly with- out exhibiting resentment or annoy- ance. “We have been comfortably lodged and provided with food and drink in sufficiency, senor.” “And what more would you have, Donna Mercedes?” “Liberty, sir!” “That shall be yours.

He is always by.” An idea had swiftly flashed into the young girl’s mind. If she could get rid of the slave she could deal more easily with the master. She was tail, strong, and Morgan, it appeared, was not in full possession of his faculties or his strength from the liquor he has} im- bibed. “Still,” she urged, “I do nc be wooed 1n the presence of even though he be a slave.
