Wc'lverstono swore elaborately, then suddenly checked. Out of the tail of his single eye he had epied a trim figure in gray silk that was ascending the companion. So engross- ed had they been that until now they had not seen Miss Bishop come from the door of the passage leading to the cabin. And there was somethkig else that those three men on the poop, and Pitt immediately below them, had failed to observe. Some moments ago Ogle, followed by the main body of his gun-dteck crew, had emerged from the booby hatdu Captain Blood bared his head and bowed silently in a greeting which Arabella returned composedly and formally. "What is happening, Lord Julian?" she inquired. As if to answer her a third g^un spoke from the ships toward which she was looking intent and wonder- ingly. "â- Phcy are ships of the Jamaica fleet," hie lordship answered her. It should in any case have been sufficient explanation. But before more could be^ added, their attention was dtrawn at last to Ogle, who came bounding up the broad ladder, and to the men lounging aft in his wake. In all of which, instinctively, they appre- hended a va*:ue menace. At the bead of the companion. Ogle found his progress barred by Blood, who confronted him, a sudden stern- ness in his face and in every line of him. "What's tble?" the Captain de- manded sharply. "Your station is on the gun-deck. Why have you left it?" Thus challenged, the obvious trucu- lence faded out of Ogle's bearing. But it gave no pause to the guniter's iiw tention. If anything it increased his excitement "Captain," he said, and as he spoke ho ptfinted to the pursuing ships. "Colonel Bishop holds usl We're in no case either to run or fight." Blood's height seemed to increase, as dlid his sternness. "Ogle," soid he, in a voice cold and fihiarp OS steel, "your station is on the gun-deck. You'll return to it at once, and take your crew with you, or else . . . ." But Ogle, violent of mien and ges- ture, interrupted him. "The men are of my thinking, and they'll have their way." "And what way may that be?" "The way to make us safe. We'll neither sink nor hang whiles we can help it" (To be continued.) Bttstions Quick reliaf from pdn. Prevent shoe preeaur*.

I Dr. Dee, Wizard Anniversary of Famous Scien- tist and Magician of Queen Elizabeth's Time Was . BotJi 400 Years Ago scholar'and mystic Just four hundred years ago the famous John Dee was born. He was an^xtraordlnary compound of ingenl- oiis scholar, credulous dreamer and astute charlatan. Among British astrologers only William Lilly, who predicted the Great Fire of London, has enjoyed greater popular repute as a necromancer. Dr. Dee was called the "White Wizard" because of his profuse white hair and beard. He boasted of his descent from an ancient Welsh fam- ily. His father, a wealtl:y vintner of London, sent him at 1^ to Combrldge, where for five years he applied himself to mathematical nnd astronomical studies. His Reputation Increased "I was 10 vehemeatly bent to study," runs his own account, "only to sleep four hours every night." Leaving the university, he spent nearly a year In Holland, in order to visit the eminent mathematicians re- siding there, and on tls return was elected fellow of Trinity College, new- ly founded at Cambridge. He took the degree of Master of Arts. Dee began to be suspsected of practicing black magic when he mystified the university in a classical play with a mechanical device representing a man soaring to the sky on a beetle's back. Fearing persecution as a sorcerer, he deemed U expedient to go abroad and remained some two years at Lou- Taln University, where toe attracted a great deal of notice. His reputation for learning grew. At Rhelms a course of public lectures on EhicUd's "Elements" had an enthusiastic recep- tion and at Paris he was urged to ac- cept a professorship of mathematics. But he declined and returned to Eng- land in 1551. Edward VI conferred on him a pension of 100 crowns, which Dee soon exchanged for the rectory of Upton-on-9evern. He was accused of using enchant- , meuts against Queen Mary's life and i passed many weary months in prison until some of his friends Induced the Queen to liberate him by an order of council. On the accession of Elfeabeth, Lord Dudley cousulted Dr. Dee respecting a propitious day for the coronation. Queen Elizabeth liad been vainly at- tempting to comprehend some of Dr. dee's mystical writings and sought his aid to unriddle their meaning, devot- ing three days to conversing with him on the Interpretation of his obscure treatises. Dr. Dee settled down In rural quiet and ^luslon beside the Thames at Mortlake to pursue his favorite studies. Of rare and curious books and manuscripts relating to the sub- jects that Interested him he possessed a unique assortment. He made a col- lection of scientific and magical Instru- ments as well. His "Speculum," or mirror, In which he asserted that he saw prophetic visions, Is now In the Brtlsh Museum. It is a ball of pinkish glass about three* Inches In diameter. I He also used a piece of cannel coal for his clairvoyance. Queen Eliza- beth visited him to Inspect his treas- ures, but as she arrived a few hours after his wife's funeral, she would not stay and only examined some of his Instruments which he brought out of the house. Qenulne and Fantastic Dr. Dee traveled to Vienna to pre- sent to the Emperor Maximilian an elaborate pbllouophlcal treatise dedi- cated to him. On a secoud Journey abroad he fell dangerously 111 In Lor- raine, and Elizabeth sent two pliy- sldans to tend him. When In 1678 the Queen's health cauaad anxiety, he was dispatched to consult with physicians acd astrologers in Germany respect- ing It. Later he was employed to In- vestigate a claim to territories newly discovered by Ellzabeth^s S'UbJects. There had been genuluo science and learning of real value mingled with his fantastic notions. But lu 15S1 he met Edward Kelly and became, it seems, the dupe of that rogue's pre- tensions to occult knowledge. This Kelly was an apothecary who had been convicted of forgery and had had his ears cut off in tho pillory. Kelly pro- fessed to have discovered the philcso- pher's Btouo, capublw of converting popper Into gold and lead Into silver. He said he was able to call up spirits. Dr. Dee Joyfully engaged this wonder- worker OH an assistant at £60 a year. For soniB years the pair wanilered about Poland and Bohemia, sometimes j living in luxury on their gains from the credulous, sometimes starving in poverty when they fell among skep- I tics. They enjoyed the hoHpltality of the young Count Rosenberg In his j castle of Trebona tor monthe, and the most marvelous tales are recorded of ' their performances, especially their i communications with tho world of spirits. i Dr. Dee received an invitation from Qnceu Elisabeth to icturn, whtrh he ' promptly accepted. She even furnish- ed him with the means to travel In date like an ambcssador. I He arrived back In 1689.
