“ ie . 28 | The Pirate Priest. — -orders, for I was your dupe, your slave, as I -owed you money, and accused Bradford Carr of being the murderer, while his pistol had been taken from bis room and found on the ground to further condemn him.’ *’ Liar! no one will believe this trumped-up story, for Bradford Carr killed Ravelle, and breaking jail, has fled, guilty wretch that he is,” **T fling back the charge of guilt in your teeth, Barton Keys,” and out of the crowd of seamen stepped Bradford Carr. For an instant there was a dead silence, and then, throwing aside the officer’s cloak and bat which he wore, and that had half covered up his priestly garb, Bradford Carr continued, ad- dressing the horrified wretch whom he faced: ** Barton Keys, I nearly lost my life on the »gallows through you; but, thank Heaven I es- caped to track you down, “A vessel on which I shipped for a foreign land, to hide my misery from all who knew -me, was captured by Bernardo the Buccaneer, who put all on board to death but five men. ** Those five were supposed to be boly padres returning to Mexico; but, one of their number having been killed by the fire of the pirate, I sassumed his garb, and, protected by it and the four good men I escaped death, “ But Bernardo had been told by a witch to carry a priest upon his vessel, and the lot fell to me. “‘From that day I plotted against piracy, _-and, winning over his crew, believed as I was to be a padre, I had him executed for his many crimes, and, taking bis vessel and crew, sailed the seas to wage war upon pirates, “Tt is said that I have robbed vessels; but it is false, for I have protected them, and the baunts of half a score of buccaneers have I broken up, and as many of their cruisers have I destroyed or captured. ‘*Tbhe Government knows just what I bave done, so that Iam no Pirate Priest, but a man who has hunted down sea outlaws. ** Last night I captured yonder vessel, stolen from our Government, and being near these old familiar scenes, having with me this gen- | } tleman, Chester Granger, as a most welcome guest, L assure you, I have come bere to arrest that murderer, vindicate my innocence, and thereby prove that I was not, and am not the guilty being I have beep painted.” As Bradford Carr ceased speaking, Irving Brandt sprung forward and grasped his hand, and then Maud followed and others, until be had been welcomed by all back to the Blue Ancbor Inn. CHAPTER LVIII. CONCLUSION, ‘THERE is little more to say, reader mine, to ‘ring my story to a close, for you have doubt- less surmised that Barton Keys was sent to the village jail to occupy Bradford Carr’s cell, and be under the charge of honest Dick Dresden, Also that the young tutor was prevailed upon to resume his duties at Brandt Manor, as Irving’s teacher, while he was more than wil- ling to give up his idea of the priesthood fter his adventurous life, especially when Maud was the prize for which he was striving, and with every evidence of success, The colonel kept his last promise made to his daughter, and seemed a happier man for it, while Chester Granger was glad to seek other scenes in which to spend bis ill-gotten gold, Barton Keys was tried and sentenced to the gallows, but escaped; some said, as Moke the negro assistant at the jail disappeared at the same time, with bis aid, and there were many who congratulated themselves upon having gotten rid of him, even if he did not die on the gallows. Of Palafox, the Sea Fox, little was afterward heard; but it was said by some who professed ! to know, that a wealthy planter dwelling upon the Mississippi river with his only daughter was none other than the famous rover, turned bonest gentleman, As for the Blue Anchor Inn, its ruins may yet be seen, and strange stories are told of it to this day, and of a desperate fight that a gallant young naval officer, Irving Brandt, had there with a band of buccaneers, THE END, Soon to follow, the companion story: ‘‘ Cut- fass and Cross; or, the Ghouls of the Sea.” ~ Waverley Library. 1 Tar Maskep Bripz. a Mrs. Mary R.
