They were HaKthorpc,' r p.nth^maM who had ssrved in the! r..>.val Navy, and Nicholas Dyke, who had been a f -ty officer in the late' kind's time, end there was another I v.h<- had l::;n a fcurnw, a man named' Orif- I '•Caution abovo everything:," wws' Dlood'.s last rr?ommcndation to him' at pa.tini,. I Comir^ next morning to the wharf,' Flood found Dr. Whacker in a psner- cur. mood. "It's r.:t money I'il require," taid he "but ths bo::t itself. For whf) will be sdiinir me a boat and im.ur- rinj: the ps'nalties in Governor .Steed's ircdarr.ation? Yc'll have read it, no douM?" I>.-. Wh:;ckcr smiled a little with i:plil lips. "I've th'jught of it. You will see that the man who buy.s the boa! must l.e one of those v.'ho goes with youâ€" :o that h:- is not h?re to anfvv^^r que^tior:.^ afterward." "But who is to go with me save n-.en in my own case? What I cannot do, they cannc't." There are others detained on the i.>?'and tc i.'ra r.lavas. There are sev- eral who arc here for debt, and would bs plad en-)u-^h to spread their wing.s. There's a fellow Nuttall, now, who fcllow.s the trade of a shipwright, whcm I happen to know would wid- ton; ! uch a char:^ as you might af 01 .1 hini." 'â- i;ut how fhojld a debtor come with money to buy a boat? The question will Ijc atkeiiV 'â- To be sura it will. But if you contrive shrewdly, you'll all be gone before that h:ippon.'i." .So w:ll did Blojd take him that within an hour hs contrived to see Nut'iall, and found the fellow as dis- posed to the business as Dr. Whacker had predicl-'d. When he left the ship- wri.;iht, it wiis agreed that Nuttall fhould 1 L'-.k thi boat required, for v/hich Blood wjuld at once produce tho no;: J. At the end of some three Wi'eks, liuttuU iiiforny.;d him that he had found a serviceable whorry, and that its ownsr was dispo&cd to sell it for twenty-two pounds. That evening, on the beach, Peter Blood handed the sum to his new associate, and Nuttall went off with instructions to complete the purchase late on the following day and then brini? the boat to the wharf, where under cover of night Blood and hill fellow-convicts would join him and make off. At sunset Pete Blood was hailed by Colonel Bishop. "There's the Gover- nor, with an attack of gout, scream- ing like a wounded horse. Be off, man â€" away with you at speed to the Government House! Best lend him a horse, Kent, or the lout'll be all night getting there." They bustled him away, choking al- most from a reluctance that he dared not show. *rhe thing was unfortun- ate; but after all not beyond remedy. The escape was set for midnight, and he should easily be back by then. He mounted the horso that Kent procured him, intending to nvake all haste. "How shall I re-enter the stockade, sir?" he inquired at parting. "You'll not re-enter it," said Bishop. "When they've done with you at Government House they may find a kennel for you there until the morning;." Peter Blood went off in a state of mind bordering on despair. A post- ponement of the escape at least until to-morrow night was necessary now, and postponement muirt mean the dis- him with liU diadaln. "Well, now] you're informed. Se© to It that you are at the Secretary's of Ace before noon with the ten pounda surety into which you are obligjed to erfter." The pompous officer departed, leav- , ing Nuttall in a ccid perspiratioa de- ' spite the heat of the morning. He thoivrht it very likely that the whole plot would be discovered, and that he , would probably be hanged, at at least branded and told into slavery like these other danmcd rebel-convicts, with v/hom he had been so mad as to associate himself. I Nuttall snatched up his "hat, and w'Ciit out in quest of Peteir Blood. But where look for him? Finally he determined to^^o up to Colonel Bishop's plantation. Probably Blood would bo there. If he were not, Nuttall would find Pitt, and leave a message with him. He was acquainted writh Pitt and knew of Pitt's share in this business. His pre- text for seeking Blood must be that he ni3eded medical assistance. And at the same time that he set out. Blood was cctting out from Gov- ernment House at last, having so far eased the Governor's condition as to be permitted to depart. Being mount- ed, he would, but for an unexpected delay, have reached the stockade ahead of Nuttall, In which case sev- eral unhappy events might have been averted. 'The unexpected delay was occasioned by Miss Arabella Bishop. They met at the gate of tho luxur- iant garden of Government House, and Miss Bishop, herself mounted, stared to see Peter Blood on horse- beck. "Good morning, sir," she hailed him pleasantly. "It's close upon a month since last I saw you." "Twenty-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. So he waited and so they rode back to Colonel Bishop's house. They rode oblivious of all others in the world that morning. He was telling her the story of his early turbulent days. Bitniims Qakk relief from pain. Pravent shoe pniaare. AttHntatminm$tmt palnitt Wilscn Publishing Company CHAPTER VII, PIRATES.

Not until tho early hours of the morning did Peter Blood succeed in making a temporary escape fnim Government House on the ground that he ref|uired certain medicaments which he must, himself, procure from tho apothecary. On that pretext, he mads an excur- sion into the awakening town, and went straight to Nuttall. "It will l)o for to-night instead," he said, with more assurance than he felt, "if 1 have to bleed tho Governor to death. Be ready as last night." "But if there are questions mean- while?" bleated Nuttall. "Answer as l)est you can. Use your wits man. 1 can stay no longer." And Peier went off to the apothecary for his drugs. Within an hour of his going came an officer of the Secretary's to Nut- tail's miserable hovel. The seller of the boat had duly reported the sale at tne Secretary's office. "Wo are informed that you have iK.'Ught a wherry from Mr. Robert Parrell," said the officer. "That is so," said NutUU, who conceived that for him this was the end of the world. You are in no haste, it seems, to d-eclare the same at the Secretary's office." The emissary had a proper bureaucratic haughtinesa. Nuttall's weak eyee blinked at a redoubled rate. "To . . . declare it?" "Ye know it's tho law." "I ... I didn't, may it please you." "But it's in the proclamation pub- lished last January." "I ... I can't read, sir. I . . . 1 didn't know." "Faugh!" The messenger withered 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 wait- ed, judging that to be the quickest and surest way in the end. But Nut- 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 wxK>den spade upon an irrigation channel. Pitt 8tarte<l at him, and the shipwright poured out his dismal news in a dis- mal tone. Round the block of cane came a l-'ig man in biscuit-colored taffetas followed by two negroes in cotton drawers who were armed with cut- la sfio-s. Mr. Nuttall looked wildly this way and that a moment, then bolted like a rabbit for the woods. Pitt groaned and stood still, leaning upon his spade, "Hi, there! Stop!" bawled Colonel Bishop after the fugitive. But the fugitive never so much as turned his head. He turned now upon the slave a countenance that was inflamed by heat internal and external. "Who was that runagate?" he ask- ed with terrible suavity. Leaning over on his spade, Jeremy Pitt hung his head a little, and shifts ed uncomfortably on his bare feet. The planter's bamboo cane fell on tho lad's naked shoulders with sting- ing force. Jeremy looked at the burly planter out of sullen, almo.st defiant eyes. "I don't know," he said, and in his voice there was a faint note at least of defiance. (To be continued.) »- "Yes," said the old salt to his ad- miring audience.

Among these there are first, the danger of Infection, which n^ay 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 apaift but the skin has not been broken. Secondly, the danger from severe hemorrhage or bleeding. Thirdly, the danger from surgical shock In casee of crushing or Internal Injury and breaking of large bones. Lastly, the dangers of de formlty from fractured or broken bones. "In all cases where the skin Is broken," emphslzes Dr. Harris, "such as cuts', scratches or "siklnned' areas, j»uncture wounds, or compound frac- 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, re^move 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 solution, one half drug store strength, and bandaged. Should the wound show evidence of pus formation, or look red, infiammed and angry, then it Is necessary to fur- ther the treatment with we.t dressings, applied hot and changed often. Flat stones heated In the fire wrapped in old cloths or bits of blanket act admir- ably In place of hot-water bottles or electric pads for keeping these wet dressings hot. "Severe hemorrhage or bleeding is best controlled in the woods by pres- sure. This may be applied over the cut in the form of a pad, held with a tightly applied bandago or. In very severe bleeding, by the familiar tourni- quet. "The treatment of shock or collapse consists of sustaining the body heat of the patient by means of hot blankets, hot water bottles', or hot stones wrap- ped in blankets anil placed alongside and at the feet of the patient." According to the wrUe^r In "PleUl and Stream" the main things to re- member In handling a fracture of any type are: be gentle when manipulat- ing; place the ends of boaes as nearly In their normal position as you can, and S'plint them there. If a leg, place the patient In bed and keep him quiet until such time as he may be movetl to the care of a physician, in ap.ply- 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 S'pllnt.
