"Did I hear you call me, Ormerod?" i
The voice from the doorway had a
chill, level quality that was as resonant
as the tolling of a bell. ! i
" 'If Murray?' I thought I heard
my name?" i , i
I screwed around In my chair. 1
There In the doorway stood theNmost 1
remarkable figure I had ever seen. A J
large man, straight as an arrow despite
the years that had planted j
crow's feet so thickly about his eyes,
his square; shoulders showed to advantage
the exquisite tailoring of the
black velvet coat lie wore. His small
clothes wei-e of a fine yellow damasked I
silk, and) his stockings of silk to
match, diamonds flashed from the
buckles oif his shoes, his fob, his
fingers anq the hilt of his dress-sword.
A great tjuby glowed In the Mecliln

Over his qrm hung a cloak, and under 1
his elbow j was tucked a hat cocked
In the latest mode.
But It 4'a3 memory of' his face 1
that, abided with you. The features
were all t^ig and strongly carved; the
nose was q Jutting beak above a tightlipped
m^uth and a Jaw that was
brutally square; the eyes were a vivid
black, fledked with tawny lights. His 1
hair was of a pure, silvery whiteness
and dra\Vn back, clubbed and tied
with a bljack ribbon. His cheeks and
brows were furrowed by a maze of
wrinkles, yet the flesh seemed as firm
as mine, j In every way he suggested
hreeHini? trenfllltv. wealth: but there
was a combined effect of sinister
power ai^d predatory will, a hint of
ruthless jegotism which took no account
of lany Interests save his own.
He acknowledged my prolonged
stare wjith a slight bow, mildly
derisive.
"Your son. Ormerod?" he continued.
"My grandnephew? Robert, I think,
you named him, for the redoubtable
Master Juggins of London, who aided
you to start life anew after you had
contrived to wreck yourself upon the
rocks of a foresworn Jacobite career."
My father rose slowly to his feet.
"Y'es, jhe is my spn. Murray. It is

man than you or I, and you cannot

The than in the doorway nodded his
head.
"I would not seem discourteous,"
be remarked suavely. "I note another
old friend, Ormerod?or perhaps I
should say an old enemy. Permit me
to observe, Corlaer, that you wear
well with the years?as well as myself,
indeed."
Peter squeezed a hickory-nut between
his forefinger and thumb and
looked up vacantly Into Murray's face.
"Ja," he said.
"Lest you should be tempted by

He fast his cloak and hat upon a
chair by the fire, and put his hand
upon the vacant one betwixt my father
and me.
"May II" he asked.
Ay father, still standing, said nothing;
and Murray, with a shrug, accepted
the silence for consent, sank
gracefully into the seat and drew a
golden snuff-box, studded with brilliantsj
from a pocket.
"With your permission," he said,
springing the cover.
A fragrant whiff of snuff-tobacco
tickled my senses as he offered it general!^.
" "fls excellent stuff," he remarked.
"Ripe Rip-Rap. What? None of you?
Ah, then?"
He dusted a pinch under his nostrils,;
Inhaled and daintily used his
handkerchief, a lace-edged morsel
such: as women carry.
My father leaned forward across
the table, a blaze of hatred in his face.
" Tis true, then!"
Murray regarded him In some surprise

My father turned to Peter and me.
"After I told you?about this man,
Robert?I hoped that I was wrong?
that I had done him an injustice. But
now he has convicted himself out of
his own lips."
Murray gently deposited the snuffbox
upon the table in front of him.
"Ah," he murmured. MI see! You
were referring to my nickname, or,
shall we say, nomme de guerre?"
My father laughed bitterly.
"Nomme de guerre! Name of a
pirate! But let us have it, fair and
openly, Andrew Murray. Are you Captain
Rip-Rap?"
"I suppose most people would agree
with your description," replied Murray
; "although personally I prefer the
word buccaneer. It Is susceptible to
so much wider use, and there Is about
It a suggestion of? However, we are
not interested here tonight in the
more abstruse branches of etymology,
i am the person popularly known on
the high seas as Captain Rip-Rap, and
I fancy I might have logical grounds
for arguing that if any disgrace adheres
to nie by that admission, 'twas
you, Ormerod, who drove me to the
practice of what you call piracy."
" Tis like you to take that tone,"
paid my father. "I drove you from
the practice of what amounted to
piracy on the land. There is no difference
In the way you earn your livelihood
today, Murray. You were an
outlaw, and you are an outlaw."
"I fear you are Incapable of doing
me Justice." sighed Murray. "You
should know that I have always labored
to serve higher ends than the
mere sordid pursuit of money, such
as has possessed you and those like
you."
He swung around suddenly upon
me.
"But I am forgetting ray purpose!"
he cried. "Stand up, grandnephew,
and let me have a look at you."
I would not have heeded him, but
my father said quickly:
"Do as he asks you, Robert. I'd
not have him think you are crooked
in the legs."
So I stood.
"A likely build." he remarked warmly.
"You favor your father, I see?
save in the face, it may be. There
you are your mother, my maid Marjory.
Ah, sweet chit, would she, were
with us now! A sad loss; a sad loss,
lad!"
The expression which came to my
father's face was terrible in Its intensity
of passion. He leaned closer
ti^ Murray, white to the cheekbones,
his nostrils pinched in.
"Murray," he said, "make an end of
such talk! As you value your life,
mention her not again. I know not
what nrda yon" hold up your sleeve
here, but If we all die In the next moment
I will slay you as you sit If you
profane her memory with your foul
tongue."
Murray stared up at him coolly and
took a pinch of snufT.
"Ah, well, you were always prejucdlced,"
he answered. "I? Itut It
serves no purpose to reopen old
wounds. I am of one mind with you
there."
He leaned abruptly across the table.
"I will be frank with you, Ormerod?
and with Nephew Robert here. I am
somewhat In difficulties?"
"If 'tis money?" began my father.
My great-uncle's gesture was sufficient
check to this.
"I am not in difficulties for money,
although I am like to be In difficulties
shortly in connection with an embarrassing
quantity of it. In flne.Lslr. I
am upon the point of launching the
coup of my career, one which will entall
consequences of a stupendous
character, and In the end, I venture
to predict, echo in throne-rooms and
chancelleries. Aye, kingdoms shall?"
He broke off.
"It Is not necessary that I should

if I say that I am in the position
of a man who has partially tamed an
unwieldy band of wild animals. My
own ship I can rely upon up to a certain
point, but I have associated with
me?"
"That would be Flint?" Interjected
my father.
"I am flattered by the knowledge
of my affairs which you display," replied
my great-uncle with one of his
courtly inclinations. "Yes; I had occasion,
when I first went to sea, for
a competent navigator. Flint served
me in that capacity until I became independent,
and I then fitted him out
with his own ship. We have cruised
in company since. I am not betraying
a professional secret when I add that
he is a man whose undoubted force of
personality is offset by a certain
turbulence and crudeness of wit which
make him difficult to handle?increasingly
difficult to handle, I may say.
I foresee trouble with him In the future
in connection with the coup to
which I have already referred. I require
a young man to stand at my
elbow and assist me in curbing unruly
spirits. I promise a great future for
such."
"Command of his own pirate craft,
no doubt?" pressed my father.
"That would be an offer to draw
most stout youths," returned my greatuncle.
"Bah, what is piracy, that you
and your kind prate against it, Ormerod?
Is It ai\y worse in character

"On a pirate's deck?" I jeered.
"From a pirate's quarterdeck," he
corrected me gravely. "I am on my

The man's surety was amazing.
"This parses all reason," said my
father wearily. "You must be insane."
"Not at ' all," retorted my greatuncle.
"I am the leading practitioner
of my profession. Winter, Davis,
Roberts, Bellamy, all the more noted
?ah?pirates of recent years, were
small fry compared to me. I tell you,
Ormerod, you stand in the boy's way."
"He is not a boy, but a man,"
snapped my father. "And able to
Judge his own course."
"So be It."
My great-uncle turned to me once
more. '
"It appears this decision Ip left betwixt

said. "So I must inform you that I

"Egad, I perceive yo? have the proper
spirit. You are exactly the lad I require."
"I am the lad you'll not get," I
shouted. "Call In your bravos, and
I'll tear their throats out for you."
"Gently, gently," he remonstrated.
"My bravos* as you term them, are
not lambs, Nephew Robert, and I
must warn you that the killings-would
not be all on the one side. If you
value your* father, stand fast."
And he drew from a waistcoat
pocket a sliver whistle, which he
placed to his lips. A thin blast piped
through the room, and a dozen hairy
seadogs surged in from hall and
kitchen. Itans on the' two windows
indicated that others mounted guard
outside.
My father's face was a mask of mingled
fnge and feitr?not fear for himself,
but for me. He stared at the
savage figures, the bared cutlasses,
the ready pistols, almost with unbelief
in the reality of his vision. And
certes 'twas a weird spectacle in that
orderly house in the town we of the
province looked upon as the most advanced
in the colonies?and became
to me the more weird as I glimpsed
next the hall door a grim mahogany
face and a hangman look beneath a
skrlm of black hair, and behind the
two a familiar carroty head.
"Ho, there, Darby!" I called out.
"What are you doing in such company?
Did you know those men for
pirates when you drank with them
at the Whale's Head?"
"Sure, they ha' taken me into their
crew," he answered brazenly.
"And 'twas you let them into the
house and betrayed your master!" returned
my father sadly. "Ij had not
expected this of you, Darbjr. Have
we not been kind to you?" i
Darby wiggled uncomforthblj;,
"Oh, aye; main kind, Master Orme^
rod," he admitted. "But they would
ha' had ye, whether or no. Su -e, they're
a grand1 crew, tricksy crew. And anyway,
ye see, I was born to be a pirate.

should have won our way In to you
without his aid. The accommodation
was convenient, but by no means essential.
"Where Is Silver, Master Bonesl"
he added.
The man with the mahogany face
touched his hat.
"John was seeing to it th|e sarvants

"Here he is now.',
A gap appeared in the ranks by tie
kitchen door, and the one-legged man
I had met on the water-froit th|at
morning stumped In onl hi^ long
crutch, as cheerfully serene as aby
honest householder. \
"Was you askin' for me, captain?"
he said. "We just finished up behind

And to me?
"My duty, Master Ormerod, and I
hopes we'll know each other better
soon."
"I find we shall need a part, John,"
said my great-uncle.
My father turned very ^ale.
"You?you? My G?d, Murray,
you can't kidnap the boy this fu!
Think! There are troops in Fort
George. Once the hue and cry) is
raised you'll be?"
"But it will not be raised," replied
Murray calmly. "I regret It. but;we
shall be obliged to tie jip you and
Peter so that you will be Incapacitated
until some kind frien^ happens to
call on the morrow. By that timej we
shall be at sea."
I snatched up the chair; upon wljilch
I had been sitting and brandished It
over his head.
"Call off these scoundrels of yours
or I'll batter out your brains," 1
snarled.
"John." he said, Ignoring me, "you
will be so kind as to pistol the elder
Master Orinerod If his pon launches
a blow at me."
"Aye, aye, sir," answered Silver.
And he leveled a weapon at my father.
I knew, without looking behind
me, thft|t Peter and I were covered by
other men. It was Peter who spoke
' first.
"Put down der chair, Bob," he ordered
quietly.
The man called Black Dog cast the
noose of a rope over his head and
Jerked his arms close to his side.
"Neen, neen," objected Peter, and
with no visible effort he snapped the
hempen strands.
A gasp went up from the room, and
there was a hasty retreat from bis
neighborhood.

A special steamship chartered by the
order will carry the pilgrims through
the Mediterranean. They will embark
from Venice In March. An admiralty
order of 1700 directs all ships
of the navy to salute the flag of St.
John, and as 'this order has never
been canceled it is presumed that the
salute will be received during the
cruise. The Order of St. John Is the
oldest and only survivor of the many
orders founded during the crusades.

Rare Old Volume
in Rubbish Heap
In a rubbish heap at Colchester.
England, was recently found an excellent
example of Caxton's handiwork,
supposed to have been removed from
Castle museum during the air raid
menace. The work, a fine copy of
the Boethlus "De Consolatlone Philosophlae,"
consisting of 93 pages,
dates back to 1478. For 150 years
it had been In the Castle library when,
during the war, It was taken, fori
greater safety, to Birch hall, near Col-f
Chester. 'The original custodian died!
nine years ago, and his brother, who >
also knew of the hiding place of the
manuscript, died during the war. Oth-(
er members of the family generally;
understood that ttye copy was somewhere
In the hall, and many fruitless
searches were made. The library of the
hall was disposed of four years ago,
but the Caxton was not among t%e
volumes sold, or It could hardly hnve
escaped notice. In the past few weeks
a further search was carried out, and.
wrapped in brown paper and lying
amid the dust and refuse of the cellar,
was discovered the beautiful specimen
of the great printer's work.
