Show THE MIDVALE JOU RNA L THE PiRATE Thu rsda y, Nov entb er 7th, 1929 I SOUTH JORDAN OF PANAMA (Conti nued from last week) Red dawn was break ing over Dubloon Spit when the little rowbo at, distan cmg the pursue rs, pulled up to the side of the Argos . Jacl{ Sedg~ck helped Evely n to climb aboard . Tlien he looked down at the captured Malay who had put up such a fierce fight on Bothw ell's vessel two hours before . The Malay smiled meekl y. Jack and Capta in Blythe laught ed. "The rascal seems docile enoug h this morni ng!" said Jack. "We~l.l· give him a berth, " said Blythe , "I suppo se he'd as soon fight for one boss as anothe r.' "It's just heave nly to be out of the clutch es of that beast, Bothw ell!" exclaime d Evelyn , taking a deep breath as she and Jack starte d for the cabin, " d all becau se of you, my • brave boy." "Neve r mind about that just now," said Jack, "We are going to look at the treasu re.'' The door of the treasu re room was opened . In anoth er mome nt Evelyn stood spellb ound at the sight of the pirate loot. And now, said Jack, we'll go ashore with the men and get starte d on the diggin g. Today ought to finish it. Gallag her and one of the deck hands rowed them to the shore. The two men, armed with shovel s and sabres , jumpe d into the hole and hacke d patien tly at the tangle d roots which had woven thems elves aroun d the centur y buried gold of the bucca neers. "Thin k of the blood that was shed here on accou nt of that gold!" exclaime d Evelyn , shudd ering slightl y, "And how peacef ul it seems now!" At that mome nt a blood curdli ng ~ll rent the air and three armed men burst forth from the jungle . T._lll first one flung himse lf uoon the deck hand and admin istered a stunning blow before Gallag her, who stood beside the decky, realize d what was happe ning. The Irishm an swung his shovel savag ely and finishe d the assaila nt, then turned to meet the second ruffia · vho rushed at him with a long knife. Jack Sedge wick had snatch ed from the groun d one of the sabres used for break ing the roots. He square d himself to meet the onrush of the leader -.f the ruffian s. It was Boris Bothwell! For one long minut e sabre and butlas s slashe d. Jack fough t like a demon but Bothw ell's superi or skill with the sword was weari ng him down. Evelyn , in a frenzy , picked up a r~ck, which she was about to heave at Bothw ell, when the hench man who had been stunne d in the first rush, spran g to his feet and brutal ly knock ed her down. Then he snatch ed up a cutlas s and flew at Jack. "Ha! Ha!" laughe d Bothw ell, t~~ng down his cutlas s, "We'v e got him now! You take care of this mollyc oddle while I look after the girl.'' With this he spran g at Evely n. He laugh ted at her strugg les as he forced her into the jungle . If ~hwell thoug ht Jack beaten , he had misca lculate d his man. Althoug h facing a fresh antago nist, the young adven turer, who had seeme d winde d a mome nt before , battle d with renew ed fury which fright ened the bully and sent him scurry ing into the jungle . He was closely follow ed by .. his compa nion, who was lucky enoug h to dodge Gallag her's terribl e right. Evelyn , strugg ling in the arms of Bothw ell, wrenc hed hersel f free when the two hench men's yells caused him to loosen his grip. Jack, runnin g twoar d her, caugh t I her swoon ing in his arms as the three scoun drels made good their escape . "That Bothw ell is a die-ha rd!" exclaime d Jack, "But I guess we showed him somet hing that time!" The coolin g sea breeze and the tinglin g spiirt of treasu re trove soon revive d Evely n, who went with Jack to look at the gold and gems which had been retriev ed from the cache. The lovers built castle s in the air as they strolle d throug h the sweet smelli ng grove near the river bank. 'Oh, Jack!" said Evelyn , taking his muscu lar arm in both hands, "I'm so lucky to have you for my protec tor!" A mocki ng laugh behind them caused them to start. Jack and Evely n turned at the same mome nt to face Boris Bothw ell! ":ji3ull" leaped forwa rd and struck )ack a stunni ng blow wfth the club he carrie d. "You cowar d!" gaspe d Evely n as Bothw ell carrie d her strugg ling, throug h a copse towar d a grass oofed hut on the river brink. Bothw ell chuck led coldly, "You'v e wande red a little too faraw ay with your sissy hero- a little too far from the protec tion of Miste r Gallag her, t e FIGH TER.' ' " "Let me go, you fiend! Let me go or I'll scream !" Bothw ell laughe d merril y as be dragg ed the fightin g, shriek ing girl oowar d the hut. "Enjo y yourse lf, Evie, dear. Nobod y will hear you.'' As be pushe d her into the door of the hut a fusilla de of shots rang out. "They beard me!" cried Evelyn . "You will hang for this Boris! " "Neve r mind that," said Bothw ell easily, "My men will hold them off. We are going to be marrie d immed tely. In two minut es I, as your husba nd, will have legal claim to the treasu re, and as my wife you can't bear witnes s agains t me. Come on Parso n!" A man rose from a rude couch. He had a book in his hand. It was the red not~ed, dissol ute Parso n J~ s. With a lear on ·his purpli sh lips he said in a cracke d voice, "Do you take this man to be your lawfu l wedde d husba nd?"
