Amazed as ho wai, his amazement would have b;>.'n de-.'pt'r had he been tolfd the truth: that there was not a vingle buccaneer or a single gun anhioro en Palomas. The deception had bMn complete. Don Miguel could not jfueas that the men he had beheld in those pijaguas were always the same; that on the journeys to the shore they •at and ftood upright in full view; and that on the journeys back to the thifr, tliey l;;y invisible at the l)ottom cf tho boats, which were thus made to appear empty. In the last hour.s of fading day light, the Spaniards did preci.scly what Captain Blood so confidently counted that they would do â€" prwisely what they niu.st do to meet the attack, tSUfxfaelSabahni e Rafael mbatini preparation.^ for which had been so thoroughly simulated. They set them- selves to labor like the damned at thc'30 pono^Tous guna emplacied to command the narrow passage out to -sca. Thus, when night fell they stood to th?ir guns. And whilst they waited thus, under cover cf the darkness and as the tide bcfian to ebb. Captain Blood's fleet weinhed anchor quietly; and, as once bsfcre, with no more canvas sj^read than that which their sprits could cany, vr, as to give them steering way â€" r.nd even these having been pointed black â€" tho four vefisels, with- out a light .showing, groped their way by soundiings to the channel which led to that narrow passage out to sea. Tho Klizaboth and the Infanta, lead- ing side by side, were almost abreast of the fort l>efcre their shadowy bulks and the s.oft gurgle of water at their prows were detected by the Spaniards, whose attention until that moment IMUC No. •a into the fort a:; she was swept past on tho swift ebb. Some slight damage was sustained by Blood's fleet. But the time the .Spar.dards had resolved their confu- .sion into some order of dangerous offence, that fleet was through the narrows and standiing out to sea. Thus waa Don Miguel de Espinosa eft to chew the bitter cudi of a lost opportunity. Off the coast of Oruba, at the mouth of the Gulf of Venezuela, Captain had been all on the other side. The Elizabeth emptit^ti her larboard guns Deputy-Governor's niece had come to •pent Hum refitting the tbr«e ehips ho had captured from the fleet that had gone out to ihe^roy him, he found himself almcet an object of worship in tho eyc« of the wild Brethren of the Coast. Whon nex he sailed away it was with a floet of fine shaps in which went somethi-n'g over n thou- sand men. The three captured Span- ish vc«sel» he had renamo<r with a certain scholarly humor the Clotho, Lachat'ls, and Atropos. In Europe the ne^wa of this fleet, following upon the news of tho Spaji- i»h Admiral's defeat at Maracaybo, produce<t something of a Mnsation. | On the 15th Septamber of the year ; 1088 â€" a memorable year in tho annals j of EnglantJ â€" three ehips wers afloat upon the Caribbean, which in their coming conjunctions were to work out the fortunes of several persons. The rst cf these waa Captain Blood's flagship the Arabella, which had been separated' from the buccan- eer fleet in a hurricane of the Lesser Antilles. Tho second ship was the great Spanish galleon, the Milagrosa, which, accompanied by the smaller frigate Hidalga, Jurked off the Oay- 'mitc«. Aboard the Mitogroea sailed the vindiictive Don Miguel. Tho third and last of these shipe with which we arc at present concern- ed wa.s an English man-of-war, which was at anchor in the French port of St. Nicholas. She was on her way from Plymouth to Jamaica, and car- ried on board a very distinguished paseenger in the person of Lord Julian Wade, who came charged with a mis>- sion of some conEcquence and delicacy. My Lord Sunderland, the Secretary of State, hadi appointed a strong man to tho deputy-governorship of Ja- maica. This strong man was that Colonel Bishop who for some years now had been tho most influential planter in Barbados. Tho Royal Mary â€" the veseel bear- ing that ingenious, tolerably accom- plished, mildly dissolute, entirely ele- gant envoy mad© a good passage to St. Nicholas, her last port of call be- fore Jamaica.

Blood's fleet came upon the belated Santo Nino, speeding under full sail! d'Ogeron? to re-enforce Don Miguel at Mara- tuga?' St. Nicholas some months earlier on a visit to some relatives, and so that she might escape the insufferable heat of Jamaica in that season. The time for her return being,. now at hand, a passage was sought foi- her aboard the Royal Mary, and in view of her uncle's rank and position promptly accorded. Lord Julian hailed her advent with satisfaction. Miss Bishop was a young woman and a lady. On his side, with his title and position he bore about him the atmosphere of the great world that was little more than a name to her. It is not therefore wonderful that they should have been attracted to each other before tho Royal Mary was warped out of St. Nicholas. "I wonder now," he said, as they were siauntering on the poop, "if you ever saw th.is fellow Blood, who was at one time on your uncle's planta- tions as a slave." "I saw him often. I knew him v«ry well." "And what manner of man did ywa find him?" "In those days I esteemed him foT an unfortunate gentleman." "You were acquainted with has ptory?" "He told it me. That is why I esteemed himâ€" for the calm fortitude with wthich he bore advcTsiity." His lordship laughed a little. "He has grown rich, I hear. His future father- iin>-law, M. d'Ogeron, has seen to that." "IHis future father-lnJaw?" said she, and stared at him round-eyed, witli parted lips. Then added: "M. The Governor of Tor- Baden-Powell Named as Nobel Prize Winner Stockholmâ€" €ir Robert Daden- Powell, founder of the Boy Scouts movement, has been formally nomin- ated as a candidate for the next Nobel Peace Prize. It is believed here that the world wide Scout organization backs the nomination. Earlier in the summer Sir Robert visited Stockholm and took part in tho international jam- boree attended by more than 3,000 Scouts from many different countries. The value of each of the five an- nual Nobel prizes will this year be $32,478, according to the most recent calculation based on the total earn- ings of the estate of the late Alfred Nobel, who founded the prizes 26 years ago. While the peace prize is paid in Stockholm, the winner is se- lected, according to Nobel's will by a Norwegian committee, appointed by the Storting.

When at comparatively close quarters the pennon of St. George soared to the Arabella's masthead to disillusion her, the Santo Nino cho«e the better part of valor, and struck her flag. Captain Blood ordered her crew to take to tho boats, and land themselves at Oruba or wherever else they pleased.

Canada is Greatest of Wheat Countries victoriaâ€" Canada's impo<rtance now and the greater Importance it would aiaume as a wheat growing country, was dealt with by O. H. Barr, K.C.. Rogina, before the PaclAo Foreign I'rade Oouncil recently. He pointed with pride to Saeliatchewan'B produc- tion of 86 per cent, of the wheat growth of Canada. Canada's potential wheat supply waa three and a ^uarter times greater than she was now producing, he said, and in the last tix years she had led the world as a wheat exporting country. The Canadian wheat growers would eventually be able to supply the bread requlremonti of 217,000,000 people in Mddltion to Canada's needs. Should Parents Be Re-Educated?

Summing It all up, tho views whichij the Canadian Social Hygiene Council has secured in thece teatlsea by lead- ing Canadians all tend to the feeling, that the development of 'jomo efficient system of training adultij and adoles- cents for parenthood Is an immediate need, but a problem, moreover, which' requires the most expert considera-, tlon. Judge Margaret Patterson, tot, example, declares: "Children cannot be brought up in lUe spare time. It Is a full-time job.." These few excerpts* from the com- plete set of comments, while neces- sarily scanty, give a comparatively comprehensive survey of the results of this parent education survey. It should be distinctly noted, however, that, in preparing It, the Canadian Social Hygiene Council specifies that the comments are in no way Intended as a Bcientiflc treatise. Before con- tinuing lurther with parent education research, the Council felt that the: opinion of the Canadians whose word' carries weight would be of incalcul-] able aid in evolving a plan of action.

His Grace, Archbishop Neil McNeil, pointed out that there is to-day a weakened sense of parental responsi- bility which he aserlbes, in large mea- sure, to the (act that there are so many agencies willing to assume the worli of caring for and guiding child- ren that parents cast their responsi- bilities on these instltuUons and or- ganisations. Prof. Peter Sandlford of the Ontario College of Bducation says that par- ents do not hnow how to meet their problems. In the past it was easy. Children were simply repressed. Judge H. S.
