Rob looked at him appealingly.
There was no mercy in the dark and
now scowling countenance. He stroll
ed on deck and gave sundry orders.
The dark crew sprang to work, the
anchor was raised, and sails spread.
The "Black Cat" headed down the
river.
Where are we going? Where are
you taking me?" asked Rob, who had
followed Torrevo on deck.

CHAPTER VIII.

There was NO answer, and Rob's
heart sank again. Torrevo was in the
plot against him. too, and had simply
come to satisfy himself that Rob was
in his deadly prison.
After short time-perhaps fifteen
minutes-when Rob had given up all
hope he heard greater noise outside.
Now" he hear Torrevo say in q
voice Of command. "All together"
There came to Rob the sounds Of
men grunting as II straining at an
effort, and suddenly the stone rolled
away. letting in flood OF daylight.
There stood Torreyo and half dozen
Of the men from the ''Black Cat"
whom he had brought to move the
accomplish.
MY jewel! My jewell" exclaimed
Torrevo, in an extravaganza of ecs-
tasy, grasping Rob and hugging him.
You did that well! You did that
we'll! By the saints. you did that
well!"
This was sudden change again.
ROD wondered what kind OF man
Torrevo was to brutally strike him
one hour and hug him and call him a
jewel the next.
Il don't understand he said. sI
didn't think you were my friend"
Not your friend! Indeed, what do
you call the man who let's you out of
that placer"
Yes. but that ropes end!"
Captain Torrevo burst into a bois-
ferrous laugh
"oh, that! Why, didn't you under
stand? II had treated you with
kindness Elvin would have asked
questions. And, when Starne came 1
clubbed YOU we'll, so that you would
not raise your face for him to see it.
Ho! We did it well! But for that
we would both be dead now"

the river. Then. when they had time
to get far away, came back. I knew
where to find you. Oh! You are wise
enough. But come on board. You
must be hungry"
II am starving"
Torrevo led the way back to the
river, where the boat from the Black
Cat" was waiting. They were soon
on board, and a substantial meal was
at once set before Rob, who did full
justice to 1t. Captain Torrevo sat near
him smoking while he ate.
II tell you. it was close shave"
said the captain. when saw the
young man thought it was all up.
But 1 clubbed you well, did not?"
II should say So" said Rob. shrug-
ging his shoulders, which still ached
from the drubbing. But what is the
meaning Of 1t all?"
1.-THE meaning Of 1.-THE meaning of
my part of it is this: For some reason
or other, Starne wanted you to die.
II he or Elvin knew I saved your life
either one would kill you and me.
They stop at nothing. don't know
why Starne wanted to kill you. but I
know enough not to let him kill me"

captain-is the chief of the Independ-

best paid and best dressed men In the
country; they wore the biggest dia-$

the mining camps. Three hundred
dollars a month as a salary and per-
squisites amounting to several hundred
more made the position one OF con-
siderable Importance. Many Of them
were men of education and culture, not
q few were college-bred fellows from
the east. Even when In the later sos
the salary was reduced to 500 "a
