Albert Sidney Burleson is having
a lot at trouble in regulating the

i>ut he la doing the best he to
Bee that nothing get<s out but what
he w»cts to gQ. Hi« worst break
came on Sunday night, when the
New York World' sought by wire to
otter for simultaneous publication
newspapers outside of New York an
article reviewing the Burleson re
gime, Telegrams proffering this
article to otJher papers were refused
transmission by both the Western
Union and Postal Telegraph corn pan
lea. ic is explained that the mau
lers ot thes® compnaieg acted on
their own initiative, and they set
ut> as defense that the matter in
volved was libelous, and they were
justified in supprtpsing it °js far
as oossible. Control of means of
wublic communication can not be car
rie.t further. Mr. Burleson has no
absolute sway over thd mails, the

CHAPTER IX.
— A Swim to the Namur.
AI1 was black, hopeless; with head i
burled In my hands I sat on a thwart, )
dazed. Before me. pleading, erpres- t
slve of agonized despair, arose the |
sweet face of Dorothy Fairfax. No j
doubt by this time all was over—the
dead body of Sanchez discovered, the j
projected attack on the house carried |
out, the two old men left behind, el- I
ther dead or severely wounded, and
the girl borne off a helpless prisoner. ;
Ay, but this I knew; there was only one j
place to which the villains might flee
with their booty—the Naraur of Rot- |
terdam. Only on those decks and well I
at sea would they be safe or able to J
I enjoy their spoils. The thought came j
to me In sudden revelation—why not?
Was not here a chance even yet to foil
them? With Sanchez dead no man J
aboard that pirate craft could recog
nize me. I felt assured of this. I had
fought the giant negro in the durk;
he could not, during that fierce en- j
counter, have distinguished my fea- j
tures any more clearly than I had his
own. There was no one else to fear. |
If only I might once succeed In get- I
ting safely aboard, slightly disguised,
perhaps, and mingle unnoticed among
the crew, the chances were not bad !
for me to pass undetected. Such ships j
carried large crews and were constant- j
ly changing In personnel. A strange j
face appearing among them need not
nrouse undue suspicion. And I felt
convinced I could locate the Namur.
But could I hope to attain the ship in
advance of the returning party of
raiders? God helping me, I would try!
My brain throbbed with fresh resolu
tion—the call to action.
xnere Vifre urns m >uc wui. .
shipped the useless rudder inboard
and chose my course from the stars.
My boat had drifted considerably far
ther out Jnto the bay than I had sup
posed. and it required a good half
hour of steady toll at the oars before
I sighted ahead of me the darker out
lines of the shore. At first X could I
identify nothing, but finally there sud
denly arose, clearly defined, the gaunt I
limbs of a dead tree, bearing a faint I
resemblance to a gigantic cross, that
had been pointed out on the sloop, j
This peculiar mark was at the extrem
ity of the first headland lying north
of the point Itself, and consequently
a straight course across the bay would
land me within five hundred yards of
where the Namur had last been at
anchor.
To a degree my immediate plan of
action had been definitely mapped out
within my own mind while toiling at
the oars. I would beach my dory and
strike out on foot directly across the
narrow neck of land. The Namur was
not so far out from shore as to uiako j
swimming to her a dangerous feat,
and I could approach and board ner
with far less chance of discovery in
that manner than by the use of a boat
The greater danger would come after
I had attained the deck, wet to the
akin. The sharp bow of the dory rau
up on the soft sand of the beach, an]
T stepped ashore.
Then there came to me the first real
consciousness of the reckless nature
of this adventure. As I faced then
the probabilities there scarcely seemeil
one chance in a hundred. And vet T
must admit there Was the one chance;
and in no other action could I per
ceive even that much encouragement.
If Dorothy Fairfax was already in the
hands of these men, then my only op
portunity for serving her lay in my
being close at hand. No alternative
presented Itself; no other effort could
be effective. It was already too late
to attempt the organization of o res
cue party. No. the only choice left
was for nie either to accompany the
girl or else abandon her entirely to
her captors. I must either face the
possibility of discovery and capture,
which as surely meant torture and
death, or otherwise play the coward
and remain impotently behind. So I
drove the temptation to falter away
and strode on up the bank into the
black shadow of the trees.
I found extremely hard walking as
I advanced through tangled under
brush. Fortunately the distance was
even shorter than I had anticipated.
It was not until after I had advanced
cautiously into the water and then
stooped low to thus gain clearer vision
along the surface that I succeeded in
locating the vessel sought. Even then
the Namur appeared only as u mere
shadow, without so much as a light
showing aboard, yet apparently an
chored In the same position as when
we had swept past the previous after
noon. I waded straight out through
the lines of surf, until all excepting
the head became completely sub
merged. If I were to reach the bark
at all this was the one opportunity.
I stood there, resisting the undertow
tugging at my limbs and barely able
to retain my footing, intent upon my
purpose. Full strength had come back
to my muscles and my head was again
clear. With strong, silent strokes 1
swam forward, directly breasting the
force of the incoming sea, yet making
fair progress. Some unconsidered cur
rent must have swept me to the right,
for, when the outlines of the bark
again became mmiy visiuie cnrougn
the night I found myself well to star
board of the vessel. Stroking well
under water and with only my eyes
exposed above the surface, I changed
ray course to the left and slowly and
cautiously drew iu toward the star
board bow. A few moments later, un
pereeived from above, and protected

overhang and density of the shadow,
Devising Some Means for Attaining
the Deck.
my hands clung to the anchor hawser,
my mind busy in devising some means
for attaiuing the deck.
CHAPTER X.
On the Deck of the Namur.
It was here that fortune favored me,
strengthening my decision and yield
ing a fresh courage to persevere.
Forking out directly over where I
clung desperately- to the wet hawser,

flapping ragged edges in the gusts of
wind. Suddenly, as I stared upward,
I became aware that two men were
working their way out along the foot
ropes, and, us they reached a point al
most directly over my head, became
busily engaged in tightening the gas
kets to better secure the loosening
sail. The foot of one slipped, and he
hung dangling, giving vent to a stiff
English oath before he succeeded in
hauling himself hntk to safety. The
other Indulged In a chuckling laugh,
yet he was careful not to speak loudly.
"Had one drink too many, Tom?"
he asked. "That will pay yer fer fin
ishin" the bottle an' never givln' me
another sup."
"You, h—1! Ter hed the fu'st ov It.
Thar's no sorter luck yer don't git
yer fair share of, Bill Haines—trust
yer fer thet. What I ain't got straight
yet is wliar thet stuff cum from so
easy."
"That wus part o' the luck, Tom.
Did yer git eyes on thet new feller
Manuel Estevan brought back with
him In the boat?"
"The one you and Jose carried
aboard?"
"He's the lad. Thar wa'n't nuihin'
the matter with the cove, 'cept he wus
dead drunk. We wus waitin' on the
beach fer Estevan, an' three fellers
he hed taken along with him inter
town ter cum back—the nigger, Jose
an' me—when this vpre chap hove
'longside. He never hailed us, ner
nuthin'; just dim over inlo the boat,
an' lay down. I shook him, an' kicked
him, but it wa'n't no use; so we just
left him lie thar fer Manuel ter say
whut wus ter be done with him. Only
Jose he went through bis pockets an'
found three bottles o' rum. We took
a few drinks an' bid whut wus left in
the boat locker."
"So thet's how yer got it! Who
%vu8 the party?"
"Thet's more'n I'll ever tell yer. I
never got no sight o' htm, 'cept in the
dark. 'Bout all 1 know is he wus
white, an' likely a sailor. Enyhow,
when Manuel got back he told us to
haul the lad forrard out o' the way,
an* fetch him along. So we pulled
out with the feller cuddled up in the
bow."
"I never seed nuthin' more of him
after he was hauled aboard. Whut
become o' the lad?"
"Him? Oh, Jose an' me carried him
Inter the for'cassel. an' shoved him
inter a berth ter sleep off his liquor.
Thet wus the last I ever see er hear
o' him fer 'bout sis hours, when this
yere feller must a woke up in the for'
cassel sura crazy. lie cum a chargia'
out on deck, whoopin' like an Indian,
wavin' a knife in his hand, intendin'
fer ter raise h—1. Well, It happened
thet the fu'st feller he run up against
wus LeVere, who wus cumin' forrard
fer sumthin', an' fer about a minute
thar was one h—1 ov a fight. It was
so dark 1 couldn't tell whut did hap
pen, but it wus fists mostly, till the
mate drove the poor devil, cussin' like
mad, over agin the rail, an' then
heaved him out inter the water 'long
side. I heerd the feller splash when
he struck, but he never let out no
yell."
"What did LeVere do?"
"Him? He didn't do nuthin'. Just
stared down over the rail a bit, an'
then cum back, rubbln' his hands.
{Levy eveq wed w&q the feJlec vhjs.
Tftar ain't nutliln kin sneer that Diacic
brute."
! "He ain't got no human in him. It's
h—1 when English sailormen hes got
ter take orders from a d d nigger,
an' be knocked 'round if they don't
jump when he barks. He's goin' ter
get a knife iu his ribs sum day."
"Maybe he is; but yer better hold
yer tongue, Tom. Sanchez don't stand
fer thet talk, an' he's back o' LeVere.
Let's go in; them gaskets will hold all
| right now—cum 'long."
I could now perceive now clearly the
character I was destined to assume
when once safely aboard the Natnur.
Such an assumption would Involve but
slight danger of discovery. It was as
though a miracle had opened the way,
revealed to me by the unconscious lips
of the3e two half-drunken, gossiping
sailors. The story told fitted my ne
cessities exactly. Had I planned the
circumstances myself nothing could
have been better prearranged. No one
on board had seen (he missing man by
daylight; he was believed to have
sunk without a struggle. Yet no one
knew positively that this was so, be
cause no one cared. The death of the
lad had simply been taken for granted
when LeVere had failed to see his
body rise again to the surface. Yet it
was quite within the realm of possi
bility for the fellow to come up once
more in that darkness, beyond Le
Vere's range of vision, and even to
have remained afloat, buoyed up by
clinging to the anchor hawser, until
strong enough to return on board. At
least there was no one aboard the Na
mur able to deny that this had been
done.
Satisfied by this reasoning of being
able to pass myself off as tne dean
man, I began slowly and cautiously to
drag myself up the taut hawser. I
had chosen a fortunate moment for my
effort; no one heeded the little noise
I made, and, when I finally topped the
rail and was able to look Inboard It
was to discover a deserted fore deck,
with the watch all engaged at some
task amidships. I crept down the fore
castle ladder and worked my way aft
beneath the black shadow of the port
rail, until able thus to drift unnoticed
into a group tailing onto a mainsail
halyard. The fellow next to me, with
out releasing his grip, turned his head
and stared, but without discerning my
features.
"Whar did yer cum frum?" he
growled, and I as instantly recognized
Bill Haines. "Been sojerin', have yer?
Well, now, lay to an', null."
