THB SBPBLBTON TRAII,
"Oh, BO, JliB. It WM part of
tbo barsalnV Their freedom and
our treasure. Will you jine me in
a bit of fresh air?” When they
were ont of earshot of the pir
ates pouring over the map. Silver
contmued: “Elver see better play
acting, Jim. I should o’ trod the
boards. Torture, Jim? Why, you
and me’s mateys.”
‘Tm grateful. Long John,"
said Jim, "but sooner or later
theyni kill me."
"There’s too many of them to
divide the treasure with. I was
figuriitg on a way to get rid of
h^Ho^ them—’’
I^ST more murders!” gasped
Jim.
"Not murder — Just tactics.
Now Dick and George Mer;’y and
Harry Sykes and Dandy are stup
id fools. I was going to take just
Ephraim Post and Tom Morgan
—and see to it the others never
waked—and we’d get the treas
ure . . . Them’s tactics, Jim, wor
thy of Admiral Hawks himself!”
They were interrupted hy the
voice of Dr. Livesey calling;
"UMkbouse ahoy! What about
it, swer? Have you seen any
sign^^' Jim Hawkins?’’ Then he
hspied Jim and cried: "Thank
^heaven you're safe, lad! Let me
alk with him. Silver.’’
"No, by the powers!” cried
Merry, grabbing Jim. “They’ll
pull a trick!"
Silver swung himself on his
crutch to M“fry’s side. “I’ll be
speaking to you for th i last
time. George Merry! Drop his
arm!" He turned to Jim. “Jim,
you give me your word of honor
not to try to slip your cable?’’
“I do,” Jim promised, and
Long John accompanied him to
the wall of the stockade. Live
sey reached through and grasped
hand.
We’ve been looking every
where for you. What happened,
Jim?"
“Then you didn’t think I was
scared?’’ cried Jim, happy almost
to tears.
"Not a thought of it, boy! We
were just worried. ’
Jim accused Long John. “You
said they said I was scared.”
“Well, matey. 1 thought it
would be easier for you to jine
up.”
“I haven’t joined them." Jim
said eagerly to Dr. Livesey. “I
ran away to cut the ship’s haw
ser, sir. like Captain Smollett
wanted, and I did and have her
beached on the North Inlet, Sir,
oh. I'm so glad you don’t
hk ill of me!’’ He hid his face
know
his hands and sobbed.
’Hummm—North Inlet
eh,”
/J Silver, grinning. ”A lad of
’ Almirit, Doctor. .\in’t ye proud
■^ow?’’
Dr. Livesey. husky-voiced, said
something to com tort .Urn for
having given away to Silver the

position of the Hispaniola
“I dontt mind If they
whore it Is, now that you know,’’
said Jim. ”F-f-float her, sir, and
get away from here. Don’t m-m-
mind about me.”
Livesey whipped out a small
deringer and covered Silver be
tween the logs of the stockade,
but tn a position so that Silver
himself bid the Doctor’s move
ment from the pirate band
“One move of your hands,
Silver, and I fire! Jim, hurry
now! Whip over the wall and run
for it!”
"I ... I passed my word, sir
Silver was visibly relieved and
Impressed by Jim’s declaration.
"A lad of honor, sir!” he cried.
“I counted on that.’’
Dr. Livesey reached between
the logs and grasped Jim’s hand
and wrung It hard. “We won’t
leave this Island without you,
Jim. My word on that!’’ He ad
dressed Silver. “You are going
for the treasure now?’’
“That be the plan. Doctor.’’
“Well, mark yon. Silver, when
you find it prepare for squalls.
And if Jim Hawkins is so much
as scratched, there’ll be a ball
between your eyes that nobody
will bother to remove. Prepare
for squalls. Silver.’’
The Doctor strode quickly a-
way, and left Silver scratching
his head. “Jim, a growing doubt
of mv own intelligence Ms begin
ning to gnaw into ray brain . . .”
Silver broke off as Ephraim
Post bawled at him:
"Come on. Silver. We’re break
ing sail!”
The pirates started up the
slope towards the woods, leaving
the stockade unguarded. Silver
spoke low and fast in Jim’s ear:
"But we’re in for it now,
matey, what e’er it be. And I’ll
not forget you saved my skin
just now by refusing to whip
over the wall. They’d a-cut ms
down like punk if you had. Sc
I’ll stand by you, matey, but I’d
better treat you rough for ap
pearance like.” He cried loudly,
giving Jim’s arm a jerk: “Try
to whip over, will you! Try to
bale on me, eh?—after mo a-
fronting on you!’’
George .Merry had heard Sil
ver’s words and now, armed to
the teeth, as were all of the
other bandits who waited at the
edge of the wood for their Cap
tain, ran up to him. “I told you,
Silver.” he said, with an ugly
look at Jim.
Silver grabbed a rope. “Belay
that, and shove off. George! I'll
clamp on to this young eel!’’ He
tied the rope about Jim’s waist.
Inga. ■ » .
“Thought 80," Bald Sllvert
looking at the chart. "Like - on
^he chart. One of the tlx brave
lads Flint killed and laid their
bones ont to point the ~way.
There’s five more ahead of us,
mates—leading' ns to the jolly
doubloons!”
As they were climbing higher
up the slope of the high hill, an
eerie voice far above .them start
ed singing "Fifteen men on a
dead man’s chest.’’ The pirates
came to a sudden stop, their fac
es going pale under the deep coat
of bronze.
"Thero he be! That’s Flint!”
cried Ephraim Post, cowering.
Dick gasped: “Then it’s- his
spirit!"
Silver, who bad been thinking
and remembering, suddenly
laughed aloud. "Ha, It’s our
friend, the Doctor, playing a
prank! He knows that song from
Billy Bones. Forward!’’ Sliver
led the wSj inward and his men
tellowed with various signs of
reluctance. They had reached
higher ground and could catch
glimpses of the sea between the
tree branches when that eerie
voice cried out; “Darby McGraw!
Darby McGraw!” The pirates
froze in their tracks.
“Darby McGraw! Darby Mc
Graw, fetch after the rum!”
cried the voice again.
"That were his last words a-
bove ground,” whispered Mor
gan.
That fixes it,’’ said Harry
Sykes, “I’m done!" And he start
ed down hill, while Dick fell to
bis knees and opened his Bible
and started to pray. Jim felt a
prickling up and down his spine.
“That voice,” mused Silver.
“Where might I have heard—”
“Nobody but us on the island
knows them words,” said the aw-
stricken Morgan. “That’s Flint’s
spirit! ’’
“Nothing but flesh and blood
can talk!’’ roared Silver. “But
spirit or devil—I never was
afraid of Flint alive and I ain’t
afeared to face him dead!
There’s 700,000 pounds up a-
head. When did ever a gentle
man of fortune show bis stern to
i that much gold? Not Long John
Silver, by the powers!’’
