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

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

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.

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.

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

lifted and the nut flashed; and then his
