Alvarado had complied with his request and had fur- ther promised to return for the boat- swain in two days. They calculated nicely that the already exhausted pris- oner would scarcely survive so long, and provisions and water ample for Old Benjamin Homigold. who had sehemed and planned for his revenge. had insisted upon being put ashore on the other side of the island after the boats had rowed out of sight of the captive. that he might steal back and, himself unseen. watch the torture of He was alone, so he believed, upon the island, and all of the mortal fear slowly creeping upon him already ap- peared in his hwful face, clearly ex- hibited by the light of the setting sun streaming upon his left hand. for he was chained facing northwardâ€"that is, seaward. As he fancied himself the only living thing upon that island, he took little care to conceal . his emo- tionsâ€"indeed, it was impossible for him any longer to keep up the pretense of indifference. His nerves were shat- teredt his spirit broken. Retribution was dogging him hard. Vengeance was close at hand at last. Besides, what mattered it? He thought himself alone. absolutely alone. But in that fancy he was wrong, for in the solitary lit- tle come of bushes of which mention has been made there lay hidden a man â€"-an ancient sailor. His single eye gleamed as fiercely upon the bound, shackled prisoner as did the setting sun itself. The man was in tatters. for his cloth- ing had been lent and torn by the vio- lent struggles he had made before he had been securely fastened in his chains. He was an old man. and his long gray hair fell on either side of his lean, fierce face in tangled masses A strange terror of deathâ€"the certain fate that menaced himâ€"was upon his countenance. With the bravado of despair be had looked with seeming in- diflerence on the sufferings of his own men that same morning. After be. ing submitted to the tortures of the rack they had been hanged to the outer walls, and he had been forced to pass by them on his way to this hellish spot. But the real courage of the man was gone now. His simula- tion had not even been good enough to deceive his enemies. and now even that had left him. made fast. The four chains ended in four fetters, and the four fetters in- elosed the ankles and wrists of a man. The length of the four chains had been so cunningly calculated that the arms and legs of the man were drawn far apart, so that he resembled a gigantic white cross against the dark surface of the stone. A sailor would have described his position by saying that he had been "spread eagled" by those who had fastened him there. Yet the chains were not too short to allow a little freedom of motion. He could incline to one side or to the other. lift himself up or down a little or ex ea thrust himself slightly .1“ a) from the face of the rock. Four heavy iron staples had been driven with great ditfieulty into holes drilled in the face of the volcanic rock.

He would be beaten to pieces. the life battered out of him hor- ribly in that event. but that would be a battle. a struggleâ€"action. He could fightvif he could not wait and endure. It would be a terrible death. but it would be soon over, and therefore he preferred it to the slow horror of watching the approach of the waters creeping in and up to drown him. The chief agony of his position, however, the most terrifying feature in this dreadful situation to which his years of crime had at last brought him, was your or so when he was fastened up and abandoned. The rock to which he had been chained was still wet, and he notived that the dampness existed far above his head. The water would re- cede and recede and i'eeede until per- haps some. 300 feet of bare sand would stretch before him, and then it would turn and come back. back“ back. “’here would it stop?

There was a little stretch of sand at his feet, and ximn the water began.

What would that be? He thought he knew. He. had lived long enough on the Caribbean to know the habits of that Morgan, however, did not know this. He believed his only companions to he the body or the half breed who had died for him as he had lived for him and the severed head of Teach, a new- er comrade who had not betrayed him. The body lay almost at his feet; the head had been wedged in the sand so that its sightless face was turned to- ward him in the dreadful. lidless staring gaze of sudden death. that period had been left for the sus- tenance of Hornigoldâ€"alone. 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 1n nourishing; and life-giving properties. Thirty yeaxs ago the proprietors of Scott s Emul sion found a way of prepaling cod liver oil so that ev eryone can take it and get the full value oi the oil without the objectionable taste. Scott’s Emulsion is the best thing in the world for weak, backward children, thin, delicate people, and ‘ all conditions of wasting and lost strength. : E above picture of the I man and fish is the trade- mark of Scott’s Emulsion, and is the synonym for strength and purity.

It had gone out slowly, it had lingered as if reluctant to leave him, but to his distraught vision it returned with the swiftness of a thousand white horses tossing their wind blown manes. The wind died down; the clouds were dissipated. The night was so very calm it mocked the storm raging in his soul. And still the silvered water came flood- ing in. Gently, tenderly, caressingly, the little waves lapped the sands. At last they lifted the ghastly head of young Teach and laid it at his feet. He cursed the rising water and bade '1 it stay, and heedlcssly it came on. It II was a tropic sea, and the waters were as warm as those of any sun kissed ocean, but they broke upon his knees with the coldness of eternal ice. They rolled the heavier body of his faithful slave against him. He strove to drive it away with his foot as he had striven to thrust aside the ghastly head, and . without avail. The two friends receded ! as the waves rolled back, but they came on again and again and again. They had been faithful to him in life; they remained with him in death. The end was upon him, yet With the old instinct of life he lifted himself upon his toes. He raised his arms as far as the chains gave him play and caught the chains themselves and strove to pull, to lift, at last only to hold himself up, a rigid, awful figure. He gained an inch or two, but his fetters held him down. As the water supported him he found little diflicultv He screamed aloud again with hate; he called down curses upon the head of the growing one eyed apparition. And the water broke into his mouth and stopped him. It called him to his the past. That water was rising still. Great God! At last he prayed. Lips that had only cursed shaped them- selves into futile petitions. There was a God after all. The grim figure of the one eyed boatswain rose before him and Ieered upon him and so ept the other appari- tions away. This was La Guayra yesterday. He had been betrayed. Whose men were those? The men hanging on the walls? And Hornigold had done itâ€"old Ben Hornigoldâ€"that he thought so faithful. There was pale faced, tender eyed Maria Zerega, who had died of the plague, and the baby, the boy. Jamai- ca, too, swept into his vision. There was his wife shrinking away from him in the very articles of death. There was young Ebenezer Hornigold, dancing right merrily upon the gallows, togeth- er with others of the buccaneers he had hanged. The water was higher now. It was at his neck. There were Porto Bello, Puerto Principe, and Maracaibo, and Chagres, and Panamaâ€"ah, Panama! All the fiends of hell had been there, and he had been their chief! They came back now to mock him. He took again that long trip across the ocean. He lived again in the hot hell of the Caribbean. Old forms of forgotten buccaneers clustered about him. Now the water broke about his waist; now it rose to his breast. He was ex- hausted, worn out. He hung silent. staring. His mind was busy. His thought went back to that rugged Welsh land where he had been born. He saw himself a little boy playing in the fields that surrounded the farm- house of his father and mother. Then the moon sprang up as sudden~ 1y as the sun had fallen. Her silver radiance flooded the firmament.‘ Light, heavenly light, once more! Far away from him the White line of the ‘Water was breaking on the silver sand. So long as it was light Morgan in- tently watched the sea. There was a sense of companionship in it which helped to alleviate his unutterable lone-- liness. And he was a man to whom loneliness in itself was a punishment. There were too many things in the past that had a habit of making their pres- ence felt when he was alone for him ever to desire to be solitary. Present- ly the sun disappeared with the star- tling suddenness of tropic latitudes, and without twilight darkness fell over the sea and over his haggardface like a veil. The moon had not yet risen. and he could see nothing. There were a few faint clouds on the horizon. he had noticed. which might 12.csage a storm.
