Be ready as last night." "But if there are questions meanâ€" while?" bleated Nuttall “Tbgg is so," said Nuttall, who conceived that for him this was the end of the world. * "You are in no haste, it seems, to declare the same at the Secretary‘s office." The emissary had a proper bureaucratic haughtiness. They bustled him away, choking alâ€" most from a reluctance that he dared rot show. The thing was unfortunâ€" ite; but after all not beyond remedy. The escare was set for midnight, and he should easily be back by then. Ho mounted the horse that Kent procured him, intending to make all haste. Peter Blood went off in a state of mind bordering on despair. A postâ€" ponement of the escape at least until toâ€"morrow night was necessary now, Not until the early hours of the morning did Peter Blood succeed in making a temporary escape from Government House on the ground that ho â€"required â€" certain _ medicaments which he must, himself, procure from the apothecary. On that pretext, he made an excurâ€" sion into the awakening town, and went straight to Nuttall. Within an hour of his going came an officer of the Secretary‘s to Nutâ€" tall‘s miserable hovel. The seller of the boat had duly reported the sale at the Secretary‘s office. "We are informed that you have bought a wherry from Mr. Robert Farrell," said the officer. "I . . . I didn‘t, may it please you." "But it‘s in the proclamation pubâ€" lished last January." "Answer as best you can. Use your wits man. I can stay no longer." And Peter went off to the apothecary for his drugs. Nuttall‘s weak eyes blinked at a redoubled rate. "To . . . declare it?" "Ye know it‘s the law." At sunset Pete Blood was hailed by Colonel Bishop. "There‘s the Goverâ€" nor, with an attack of gout, screamâ€" ing like a wounded horse. Be off, manâ€"away with you at speed to the Government House!

PIRATES, Mr. James Nuttall made all speed, regardless of the heat, in his journey from Bridgetown to Colonel Bishop‘s plantation, where he learned that Dr. Blood was not at home. A man of sense might have sat down and waitâ€" ed, judging that to be the quickest and surest way in the end. But Nutâ€" tall had no sense. He blundered to the end of the avenue, and round the corner of it, and there ran into Pitt, alone, toiling with a wooden spade upen an irrigation channel. _ Pitt started at him, and the shipwright poured out his dismal news in a disâ€" mal tone. Round the block of cane came a big man in biscuitâ€"colored taffetas followed by two negroes in cotton drawers who were armed with cutâ€" lasses.

They rode oblivious of all others in the world that morning. He was telling her the story of his early turbulent days. And at the sams time that he set out, Blood was setting out from Govâ€" ernment House at last, having so far eased the Governor‘s condition as to be permitted to depart. Being mountâ€" ed, he would, but for an unsxpected delay, have reached the stockade ahead of Nuttall, in which case sevâ€" eral unhappy events might have been averted. The unexpected delay was occasioned by Miss Arabella Bishop. They met at the gate of the luxurâ€" iant garden of Government House, and Miss Bishop, herself{ mounted, stared to see Peter Blood on horseâ€" back. "Twentyâ€"one days to the hour," said he. "I‘ve counted them." If he would wait a moment they would ride back together. She had but come to inquire of the Governor‘s health at her uncle‘s request. "Good morning, sir," she hailed him pleasantly. "It‘s close upon a month since last I saw you." The pompous officer departed, leavyâ€" ing Nuttall in a ecld perspiration deâ€" spite the heat cf the morning. He thought it very likely that the whole plot would be discovered, and that he would probably be hanged, at at least branced and sold into slavery like those other damned rebelâ€"convicts, with whom he had ksen so mad as to associats himself. Nuttall snateched up Eis hat, and went cut in quest of Petor Blood. But where look for him? Finally he determired to <0 up to Colonel Bighop‘s plantation. Probably Blood would be there. If he wore not, Nuttall would find Pitt, and leave a messago with him. He was acquainted with Pitt and know of Pitt‘s share in this business. His preâ€" text for secking Blood must be that he reeded medical assistance. him with his disdain. "Well, now you‘re informed.

According to the writer in "Field and Stream" the main things to reâ€" member in handling a fracture of any type are: be gentle when manipalatâ€" ing; place the ends of bones as nearly in their normal position, as you can, and splint them there. If a leg, place the patient in bed and keep him quiet until such time as he may be moved to the care of a physician. In applyâ€" ing the splints do not put them on too tightly or the circulation will be shut off. Watch the fingers and toes for blanching, and if this occurs loosen the splint. Always have the splint long enough to reach at least above and below the joint adjacoent to the break, and always have them well padâ€" ded. Splints may be made from sticks, pieces of bark from trees, lengths of trailing vines, gum‘ barrels and the like» Two sticks rolled in a blanket to form a trough form a very usoful splint, particularly for broken legs," "Severe hemorrhage or bleeding is best controlled in the woods by presâ€" sure. This may be applied over the eut in the form of a pad, held with a tightly applied bandage or, in very severe bleeding, by the familiar tourniâ€" quet, "In all cases where the skin is broken," emphsizes Dr. Harris, "such as cuts, scratches or "skinned‘ areas, puncture wounds, or compound fracâ€" ture, the very first to do before even touching the wound is thoroughly to wash the hands, making them as clean as possible. Next., in case there should be dirt in the wound, remove it by wiping with sterile gauze or by picking it out with a knife point which has thoroughly been washed and cleaned, Then the would should be bathed in iodine golution, one Lalf drug store strength, and bandaged. Should the wound show evidence of pus formation, or look red, inflammed and angry, then it is necessary to furâ€" ther the treatment with wet dressings, applied hot and changed often. Flet stones heated in the fire wrapped in old cloths or bits of blanket act admirâ€" ably in place of hotâ€"water bottles or electric pads for keeping these wet dressings hot. Strangely encugh perhaps the chief thing to remember when injuries are to be treated in camp, according to Dr. Harris, is to do as little, copsistent with good first aid, as possible. He writers, "Nature, if given an opporâ€" tunity and perhaps slight assistance, is a great healer of wounds. Do not do more to a broken bone than is abâ€" solutely necessary, Unless a wound is obviously dirty, it should be conâ€" sidered as clean. In other words, do rot enhance the possibility of infectâ€" ing a wound by doing too fruch for the patient." He continues, "A surgical kit that will contain everything that is obso!â€" utely necessary for most of the inâ€" juries that are common, will contain packages of sterile gauze, bandages in widths of one to three inches, adâ€" hesive tape in twoâ€"inch width, iodinc, and safety pins." Dr. Harris point out that there are a few general thingsâ€"that should be remembered, no matter what the inâ€" jury, Among these there are first, the danger of infection, which may come from without in cases where the skin is broken or may develop from within in cases of a severe bruise or where tissue has been torn apart but the skin has not been broken. Secondly, the danger from severe hemorrhage or bleeding. _ Thirdly, the danger from surgical shock in cases of crushing or internal injury and breaking of Jarge bones. Lastly, the dangers of de formity from fractured or broken bones.
