And meanwhile Colonel Bishop's fleet had come to anchor, and the Colonel had landed oa the mole, a disgruntled man to be dis- gruntled further yet. He was accom- panied ashore by Lord Julian Wade. A corporal's ^ard was drawn up to receive him, and in advance of this «tood Major Mallmrd and two others who were unknown to the Deputy- Governor, one slight and elegant, the other big and brawny. Major Mallard advanced. "Colonel Bishop, I have orders to arrest you. Your sword, sir I" Bishop stared, empurpling. "What the devil . . . Arrest me, d'ye say? Arrest me? By whose orders, pray?" "By the orders of the Governor of Jamaica," said the elegant little man behind Major Mallard. Bishop swung to him. "The Governor? Ye're mad!" He looked from one to the other. "I am the Governor," he announced furi- ously. "You were," said the little man dryly. "But we've changed that in your absence. You're broke for aban- doning your post without due cause, and thereby imperilling the settle- ment over which you had charge. It's a seriooa matter, Colonel Bishop, as you may find. Considering that you held your office from the Goivernment of King James, it is even possible that a charge of treason mig^t lie against you. It rests with your successor entirely whether ye're hanged or not" Bishop made a noise in his throat, rapped out an oath and then, shaken by a sudden fear : "Who the devil may you be?" he asked "I am Lord Willoughby, Governor- General of His Majesty's colonies in the West Indies. You were informed, I think, of my coming." "But, my lord . . ." began the Col- onel. "Sir, I am not concerned to hear your reasons," his lordship interrupt- ed him harshly. "I am on the point of sailing and I have not the time. The Governor will hear you, and no doubt deal justly by ou." Major Mallard led his prisoner to the Governor's house, tho house that so long had been Colonel Bishop's own residence. Bishop was left to wait under guard in the hall, whilst Major Mallard went ahead to announce him. Miss Bisiiop was still with Peter Blood when Major Mallard entered. His announcement startled them back to realities. She effaced herself, escaping into the garden, and Major Mallard fetch- ed the colonel. "His excellenc the Governor will see you now," said he, and threw wide the door. Colonel Bishop staggered in, and stood waiting. At the table sat a man of whom nothing was visible but the top of a carefully curled black head. Then this head was raised, and a pair of blue eyes solemnly regarded the pris- oner. Colonel Bishop made a noise in his throat, and, paralyzed by amazement, stared into the face of his excellency the Deputy-Governor of Jamaica, which was the face of the man he had been hunting in Tortuga to his present undoing. The situation was best expressed to Lord Willoughby by van der Kuylen as the pair stepped aboard the Admir- al's flagship. "Id is fery boedical!" he said, his blue eyes twinkling, "Cabdain Blood is fond of boedry â€" you remember de abble blossoms. So? Ha, ha!" (THE END.)
