My father Interrupted him:
"What's tills. Captain Karraday?
Do you speak of being chased? I had
thought we were at peace with the
world."
Captain Fajrrada.v discarded the listeners
who had attended him so far
and stumped across the square, bellowing
his answer in tones which
brought shopkeepers to their doors
and women's heads from upper windows.

there is more to be said, much more;
and ^matters have come to a pretty
pass when the rascals come north to
these ports."
Peter Corlaer and I Joined the little
I group of merchants who were with the
| governor, and the other curious perI
sons hovered as close as they dared.
"But I find this hard to give cre!
dence to. captain," said Governor Clinton
pleasantly enough. "Pirates? In
these latitudes? We have not been
bothered by such of late. Did you
have sight of the ship which pursued
yob ?"
"Sight? Marry, that I did; and uncomfortable
close, your excellency.
She came up with a so'easter two
days past, and at the first I made her
out for a frigate by the top hamper
she carried."
"A frigate?" protested Master Colden.
"So big as that?"
"Aye. sir. my master! And If I
have any eye for a ship's lines and
canvas she was none other than theBoyal
James that chased me three
days together when I wus home bound
from the West Indies in '43."
"That would be the vessel of the
fellow known usually as Captain ItlpRap,"
spoke up my father, and there
was a quality in his voice which led
me' to regard him closely.
It was manifest that he labored In
the grip of some strong emotion; bnt
the only Indication of this in his face
was a slight rigidity of feature, and
none of the others marked It. I was
the more amazed because my father
was a man of Iron nerves, and also,
though his earlier years hod been
starred with a series of extraordinary
adventures, so far as I knew he had
had nothing to do with the sea.
"True for you. Master Ormerod,"
answered Captain Farraday; "and
J since Henry Morgan died there hath
i not lived a more complete rogue. One
[of m.v mates was taken by him off
'Jamaica ten years gone and cites hlin

God save us! And, moreover.

Witness the name of his ship."
"I have heard he sails, usually In

"He works with John Flint, who Is

according to those unfortunates who
have fallen in his path Flint sails in
the Walrus, a tall ship out of Plymouth

them they are a pretty pair."
Captain Farraday stopped perforce
1 for breath, and Governor Clinton
seized the opportunity to usk with a
smile:
"Captain Rip-Rap, <fid you cull your
pursuer? What runnier of name is
this?"
The merchantman j shrugged his
shoulders.

told, his own men give him this name,
for even they do not know for certain
that to which he was born.
" 'Tis said lie was a gentleman who
suffered for his political convictions,

truth. All I know is that he chased

showed him a clean pair o' heels and

harbor, 'twas to find there was not a

Burrage lies, and bid him to

not, our good commodore will make
them rue the day."
And with Lieutenant Governor Colden
and the rest he made to move off.
Only my father lingered.
"You have letters for me. Captain
Farraday?" he asked.
"Aye, Indeed, sir?from Master Allen,
your agent In London. I was on
my way to deliver 'era. And a goodly
store of strouds, axes, knives, beads,
tools, flints and other trade goods to
your account."
"I will accept the letters at your
hands, and even save you the trip to
Pearl street, captain," replied my father.
"My son, Robert, here, will
visit you aboard ship in the morning
and take measures to arrange for
transshipping your cargo."
"I ha' no quarrel with such terms,"
rejoined Captain Farraday. fishing a
silken-wrapped packet from his coattail
pocket. "Here you are. Master
Ormerod. And I'll be off to the
George tavern for a bite of shore food
and a mug of mulled ale."
My father fidgeted the packet In his
hands for a moment.
"You are certain 'twas Captain RipRap
who chased you?" lie asked then.
"I'd swear to his foretopg'ls," answered
Farraday confidently. "As I
said afore, he chased me once In '43,
and Jenkins he took off Jamaica In
the ship Cynthia out o' Southampton.

My father was hard put to It to
make head against this flow of talk,
but at last he succeeded.
"It was my understanding," re said,
"that Captain Itip-Itap disappeared
from the West Indies during the late
war. I give you thanks, captain. Pray i
cull upon me at your leisure, and If
I can be of any service to you I am
at your command."
Captain Parraday stumped off toward
the George, a tall of the curious
att)ts heels, and 1 grinned to myself at I
thought of the strong drink they would
offer him In return for his tale. There
was no chance of his h"'ng sober inside
of twenty-four hours.
My father nodded absently to Peter,
who had stood throughout the entire
conversation, his flat face sleepily Imperturbable.
"I like it not," he muttered, as If
to himself.
Peter gave him a quick look but
said nothing.
"Is there anything wrong, father?"
I asked.
He frowned at me, tjien stared off
at the housetops in a way he had. almost
as if he sought to peer beyond
the future.
"No?yes?t do not know."
He broke off abruptly.
"Peter, I am Kind you are here," he
added.
"Ju," said Peter vacantly.
"You have not looked at your letters
yet,''" I reminded him.
"I have no occasion to," he retorted.
"There is that which?but the street
is no place for such conversation.
Come home, my boy; come home."
Darby McGraw met us at the door,
and from his wild gaze I knew him
to be half expecting to see the pirates
hot-foot at qur heels.
"Have you performed your tasks,
Darby?" questioned my father.

"Be off with you, then. I wish not

I was nonplussed.
"Why. naught, sir. Darby Is daft

Peter Corlaer shut the room-door
upon the Irish boy and came toward
us, moving with the swift stealth that
was one of his most astonishing characteristics.
"Ja. lie does not know," he said.
"What?" challenged my father.
"What you andt 1 know," returned
I he Dutchman calmly.
"So you know, too, Peter?"
"Ja."

"What Is this mystery?" I demanded.
"I thought I knew all the secrets

concerned as a firm with pirates!"
"We are not," my father answered
curtly. "This Is a matter of which
you know nothing, Robert, because
intil now there has been no occasion
for you to know or it."
He hesitated.
"Peter," he went on, "must we tell
the boy?"
"He Is not a boy; he is a man," said
I'eter.
I flashed my gratitude to the fat
Dutchman in a smile, but he paid no
f ttention. My father, too, seemed to

| "Who do you fancy this Captain

"Whoever lie is. tills pirate can do

liold to say.
"Be not too sure, Robert," adjured
my father. "He happens to be your
great-uncle."
He reached up to the rack over the
fireplace and selected a long clay
pipe, which he stuffed with tobacco
the wliile I was recovering from my
astonishment.
"Your uncle?" I gasped then.
"No; your mother's."
"But he was the great trader who,J
conducted the contraband trade with
Canada!" I cried. "I have heard of
him. 'Twns he established the Doom
trail to enable him to supply the
French fur traders with goods to
wean the fur savages from us! You
have told me of him yourself, as hath
Master Coblen. 'Twas he whom you
and CVrliier and the Iroquois fought
when you broke down the barriers

fur trade to our people. Why, 'twas
then you?you?" .?. *
I knew the deep Teeling my father
still had for my long-dead mother, nnd
I scrupled to stir his memories. He
himself took the words from my lips.
"Yes, 'twas then I came to love your
mother. She?she was not such as

She ,was a Kerr of Fernleside; her
mother had been Murray's sister.
Kerr and Murray were out together In

Murray took poor waif Marjory.
"He did well by her?there's no denying
that. But he always Intended

Guardian o| the Western Door of the

smash the va.-t power Murray had
built up on tiie frontier.
"We smashed him so utterly, discrediting
him too. withal, that he was
ohljged to flee the province; and even
his friends, the French, would have

have always fancied he still served
their Interests at large; for he is at

Aye. there Is that about him which
Is difficult to understand, Robert.
Himself, he! hath no hesitation in believing
he jserves high purposes of
state in all | he does."
"Only a ihadrann could lay claim to
serving the state as a pirate," I objected.
"You speak with overconfidence,"
rebuked my! father "There are men
alive today who can remember when
Morgan and Davis and Dumpier and
many another brave fellow of the
same kldnfjy lived by piracy and
served the king at one and the same
time. Some] of 'em were hung In the
end, and Morgan died a knight. It
can be done."
"HowlConsider,

"If he be. Indeed, the man you think

pleased with the thought of having a
pirate for a great-uncle. My father

said. " 'Twas so identically your

" "TIs not. force I dread," my father

Sociology au m Study
\ Sociology Is the term applied by the
philosopher, Cnmte, to.the study of
mankind in their social relations. It
recommends the prevention of national
wars by arbitration, and the settlement
of the war of classes hy boards
of conciliation. The term sociology Is
regarded by some as equivalent to his-1
lory. The English philosopher, Her
bert Spencer, used the term In the
titles of several of his greatest works,
for Instance, "The Study of Sociology,"
published In 1S72.

It Is pot necessary tliat one should

k ^ * 0 but It is essential
tliat study and
thought should be
put upon the care
ami selection of foods, for a small
amount of food rightly combined will
give more energy than a large amount
Imprt^ierly combined.
Someone has said that the selection
and organisation of food in the diet
Is Rg Important as the organization of
an army. A properly disciplined force
or soldiers is muen more euecuye
than an untrained mob, as we all
know.
The essential things to remember
are the different groups of foods and
their office In the diet. This Is not
difficult; the fyirmer finds It most Important
in the/ feeding of stock.
1. Foods that -furnish protein which
builds muscle! fn this .class we find
milk, eggs, meat, fish, dried peas, and
beans. f (
2. Foods which furnish us energy,
as starch and sugar: These are cereals,
flours^i macaroni, potatoes and
such starchy f inds. Tiff sugar we' get
In various forms?in fruit, honey,
cane sugar, molasses, cukes, desserts
and. preserves.
3. Foods which fut^ish fats for
heat are supplied by butter, cream,
olive oil, bbcop. corn oil, suet and
pork, as well is lhe fat of other meats.
4. Foods whlcp supply mineral salts,
vegetable acids and yltamines, the
body reguluting substances, we find
in apples, oranges, pears, melons and
citrus fruits; green vegetables, cress,
lettuce, spinach and cabbage.
The next in importance to food Is
water?plenty of It, pure and free
from all Injurious substances.1 Water
dissolves food and liquefies It so that
It may he easily absorbed by the tissues
of the body. Two or three
quarts n day Is necessary for good
health In an adult. j , J

Loosen Up That Cold I
With Musterole _ : |
Have Musterole handy when a cold
starts. It has all of the advantages of '
grandmother's mustard plaster WITHOUT
the blister. Apply it with the
fingers. You feel a warm tingle as the
healing ointment penetrates the pores,
then a soothing, cooling sensation and
quick relief. v
Made of pure oil of mustard and
other simple ingredients, Musterole is
recommended by many nurses and
doctors. Try Musterole for bronchitis,
sore throat, stiff neck, pleurisy, rheumatism,
lumbago, croup, asthma, neuralgia,
congestion, pains and aches of
the back or joints, sore muscles, sprains,
bruises, chilblains, frosted feet, colds of '
the chest. It may prevent pneumonia
and "flu." 4 T bai

Peterson, "that Peterson's Ointment
was the best remedy he sold for
eczema. But you'll never make aqy
money on It," he added, "because it
heals so quickly that only a little ointment
is used." All druggists, 60 cents.
