THE BLACK FLAG A NEW YEAR'S STORV. By Opie Read. TTn PHYSICIAN ordered Crandall to VjL go touth. "What for?" the yoiitiK JtfljVI fellow spoke up, rather testily. "ua forget that 1 was the successful cen ter rush of " "Yes, I know all about that," the doctor broke in. "And I also know that in your gTeat strength in the over development of your muscles, there liea a danger. Go south for the winter and real. You ran af ford it." And, acting upon the physician's d rice, Crandall went down to the gulf eoast of Mississippi and took up hia abode at Ocean Springs, a place settled by the Span iards many yeara before there was a New Orleans. He rented a cottage built high upon the pine wooded bluff, hired a negro cook and was soon at home with his guns and fishing tackle upon the walls. Some one asked him if he had brought any books with him and he answered: "No, I left them in the black shadow of the university. What I'm looking for is sunshine. And, by the way, yonder it is now, out in thnt boat." That, in fact, was not the name of a girl sit ting in a boat not far out from the end of the pier on which Crandall and a newly formed acquaintance were standing. It was not the name by which she was known among the neighbors, but a name which any tranger might have applied to her. Her hair, as it streamed in the breeze, was a wav ing flame, so golden was its hue; and when she stood erect, which she did at the mo ment Crandall spoke of her, she was a pic ture of a grace so true as mifht never be effaced from the mind. "Who is she?" he asked of the man who stood beside him; and thus was he enlight ened: "She is the granddaughter of nn old fellow who lives in that queer-looking house up yonder, the one with the round tower. About here it is known, and he himself boasta of the fact, that he is the grandson of a famous French pirate who once infested the coast along here, and whose offenses were ' condoned by the government on account of services which he rendered Andrew Jack son'a amy. 1 don't know what her name is." "I believe I'll row over and have a ta.k with her," said Crandall. j "Yon may do as you like, but the old man is dead set against any attentions that strangers pay her." By this time Crandall was in his boat. The girl did not take notice of hia ap proachshe paid not the slightest heed to him until he spoke, and then, turning to ward him, ahe said: "I'm not acquainted with you." "A fact which I acknowledge with re gret," he replied. "Oh, you do!" she said, (riving him a full view of her wondrous eyes. "Yea, and your name is let me see. Isn't your grandfather a grandson of the Le reete or whatever hia name was who rob! ed on the tea and built a fort on Lake Ponchartrain?" "You seem to have read history, at any rate' "Yes, I have skimmed the most important events, and I can dip up a happening all rieht, but dates run through my skimmer. What are you trying to catch here?" "Fish," she answered; and he replied: "I might hare surmised s much;" and then she rejoined: "Oh, as to that, a man doesn't often take the trouble to surmise reasonably when his only object is to gain an oppor tunity to ask a question." "By George, Miss Pirate, you are as sharp as your old ancestor," and when she had looked at him and laughed, for the re mark did not displease her, he added: "It may be small concern to you, but we are neighbors. I live up yonder among the pines." "Oh, you are the crazy man," shesaid, look ing at him closer. lie looked back at her in astonishment, and she explained: "That's what some of the folks believe. What else could they think of a man who hangs up a leather bag and hits it nearly all night?" He explained that he was merely taking ex ercise and she asked him why he didn't cut wood, and he replied that it would give him pleasure to make chips fly for her. She tried to frown at him, but laughed. They had been drifting along together. Now she took up the oars. He asked her what she was going to do, and she replied that she was going home, of course. He could not expect her to remain out there with a stranger. And, laughing, ahe rowed off from him; and shortly afterward he muttered an impreca tion against himself for not having nerve enough to follow her, and late that night he turned from the punching bag and said to himself: "Come, old fellow, brush that face out of your mind. But is it in my tj 2F .3 JeA.MctttWSk . .. v - .v riiiiTi " I'M NOT ACQUAINTED WITH YOU." mind? lan't it deeper? Ah, didn't the heart camera take a snap shot at her? And, bounding up, he furiously attacked the bag. It was his intention to go out upon the wa ter early the next morning in the hope of seeing her, but the dawn cume with a Wil ing of rain on the roof. But later in the day he went over to the "Piratage." There was a high fence about the hou.e, and the rusty iron gate was fastened with a chain and padlock. He shook the gate und shouted and after a time an old man with a bushy head of fierce looking hair came out upon the veranda and demanded to know the cause of such a disturbance at his gate. Crandall replied that no disturbance was intended, and then the old man asked him what he wanted. Crandall didu't know ex actly what to say he didn't care to blurt out that he wanted to see the girl, so he re marked: "Why, you see, we are neighbors, nd-" "Oh, we are!" the old man broke In, "And if that's the case don't you think you ought to have waite'i for me to call first?" "Well, yes," Crandall admitted, "that would have been more formal; but I am willing to dispense with formality." 'But X km not," said tht old man, step c 7 A J&5& ping inside and shutting the door; and as Crandall was about to turn away he thought he heard the music of a mischievous laugh. During all that day, and during nearly all the night he worried over the truth that the picture had been taken by his heart instead of his mind. The next morning he was on the pier when the sun arose and his eye swept the flashing water, but he did not see her; and after waiting until noontime he returned to the house to brood over her, to gaze inward at her picture, with hair streaming like a flame. Late in the after noon he wandered by the wooded shore and suddenly he halted, with his heart beatinf! hard, for there she sat beneath a pine tree, gazing out upon the quiet water. He ha'.ted, stood and looked at hor, and she did not withdraw her eyes from the sleeping sea. for she had not heard him; but he stepped back, to retreat in the timidity that sud denly had come upon him; a twig snapped beneath his foot and she looked round. "I bes your pardon," raid he; and she re plied: "Oh, no, but I beg your pardon for laughing when you were dliven away from our gate." He sat down beside her and she made no objection. And they talked with a freedom that cut an hour slmrt. At last a voice called her and she started up, declaring that she did not know it was so late. "He called you Marette," said Crandall. "It is a pretty name." "Good-by," she said, running away from hi in. "When may I see you agiiu?" be called after her, and bark came the words: "Oh, von mustn't think of that. Perhaps not at ':." He returned to the place the next after noon and waited until after the sun had set. wiy Ml If lilt if Smm m I THE OLD MAN AT THE DOOR. She did not come. But the next day he found her reading in the woods. She was self-possessed, but this time she blushed when suddenly he appeared before her And now how soft were their uecents, so dif ferent from the tore of raillery that had characterized their lirst meeting. And thus they met, sometimes every day for a week, and then not at all for several days. She would never agree to an ap pointment, always leaving their meeting to chance. One day they sat gazing out upon the dreamy sea. "I had taken so severe a course in athletics that I had reason to be lieve that all emotion had been trained out of me," he said. "Violent exercise is some times an offset to strong mental I might say heart emotion. But 1 find that with me this belief was all a fallacy." She looked at him as if she did not understand his mean ing, and, though he knew she did, yet he pretended that he did not. "Have you been trying to feel strong emotion?" the asked, and he replied: "No, not trying to feel it." "1 don't know what you mean," she said, and then he cried: "Oh, yes, you do," and he put his arms about her; and the hours flew and the sun sunk low and flamed upon the water, "like your hair spread out," he said. And then they heard the old man calling her. He was near at hand and he saw Crandall. "Here," said he, "I've got a word to say that may be of use to you. From this time on you will see the black flag of my ancestors flying from the tower on my house. If you come on my land you will be shot, and if you attempt to influence anv further the mind of this child I will hunt you and kill you." "She is to be my wife," said Crandall. "Then she is to be a bride and a widow at the same time," replied the old man. He led the girl away and Crandall went home and walked the floor all night; and when morning came he looked out and there was the black flp.g of the Ponchartrain pirates floating from the tower on the old man's house. lie roamed about in the woods all chr, but did not see the girl. And each morning thfre was the black flag, and there it was at night, a patch of deeper darknes against the dark sky; and one night, when liehtning flashed, be taw it streaming, red. like a flame like hr hair. Once he ven tured nenr the house, and a bullet nipped a bit of bark under a tree just above his head Larly one morning he stood on the pier wait'ng for the sun to rise, but, insttad, a cloud and a wind arose, almost a hurricane, Suddenly he saw a sailboat near by, stru?' glir.g hard, and then it was overturned and b'.:wn fast aw.iv, leaving a man struggling in the water an old man, and Crandall thought that he recognized the girl's grand father. He d:d not hesitate. He sprang into the sea. seized the old fellow and swam to shore with him; and, staggiring upon tha sand, he looked at Crandall arid saw!: "You fool, whv didn't you let me drown?" Crandall went home and sat down to brood, with the b'ack flag still in sight. It was the last dav of the year, harly the nex morning before it was light he went out and wr.s standing near his door when a cloud lifted and the nut flashed; and then his In art leaped, for the black flag was gone And iust at that moment the old man, lead ing the girl by the hand, came round the corner of the house.
