CHAPTER YI.-lContinuedl.

| Ot1AI 4 hN v -kOohtiiueuj'
The gang he was with had returned
for another load. Rob heard them
muttering among themselves, and he
looked up to see the cause. He was
amazed, and felt thrill of terror rush
over him, for there, standing with Cap
tain Elvin and Torrevo, engaged In
earnest conversation, was Lemuel
| Starne.
Now Rob thought surely he would be
killed. He thought he now understood
some of the hatred he had incurred.
Starne, Elvin and the captain OF the
BLACK Cat" were all in one gang.
Therefore, If Starne had any reason
to wish his death, the others must
have the same reason.
There was no way to escape them
now. He could not turn back.
When they were taking up their
loads Torrevo rushed out and beat Rob
with his ropes end so that poor Rob
kept his face bent down almost to the
ground till he got clear Of his tor
mentor, which was not until he was
part way up the ridge.
The boys heart was broken with
grief and terror. What should he do?
To continue in this way was simply to
be killed. Was there no hope of es-
cape. He went into the caverns again,
and this time the black interior seemed
to the tortured fellow like a haven OF
rest. And when the gang turned to
leave sudden inspiration came to
Rob. He knew that the last Of the
cargo was not on its way to the cave.
1t was possible that he would not be
missed if he did not return. With no
definite purpose, except to escape the
blows and curses of Torrevo, he darted
away from the gang and hid in black
recess behind a pile of bales Of to-
bacco.
The men came in with their bur-
dens, and then went out. Those who
went out now did not return again.
The last of the contraband cargo was
The Chanute times. [volume] (Chanute, Kan.) 1897-1913, 1900-02-16

| to die in that dark hole, a lingering,
painful death by starvation. oh! 1t
was terrible.
But Rob was true American boy.
After the first few minutes of stupe-
faction his spirits returned, and he
began to think of finding way out.
He CROPPED about the opening, now
so well blocked by the heavy rock, but
the largest aperature he could find
was simply large enough for him to put
his hand through. He could not move
the rock an inch.
While thus engaged in his futile eff
forts the thought came to him that
perhaps this was not an accident. Per-
haps, after all, Lemuel Starne had
recognized him-had told Captain Ell
vim who he was-and he had been
missed, traced to the caverns and lock-
ed in to await terrible death by star
walton, or to be kept until they saw
fit to release him and kill him some
other way. Any way he looked at 1t,
death seemed certain.
With a dull heart Rob left the open
ing, now, alas! opening no longer, and
CROPPED his way in the darkness
through the caverns. 1t was dark as
night, and darker. There were no
moon and stars in this damp and
grewsome place to shed little light
and cheeriness. All was dark and
damp and dismal.
In his aimless wanderings, Rob's feet
struck against something, and he at
once thought Of the torches the men
had used when they brought in the
goods. The thing he had kicked
sounded like one of these. He stopped
and picked it up. 1t was just what
he thought it was-a torch made of
some kind of soft stuff like cotton
waste, wrapped on a bar of iron and
soaked in oil. The odor from it show
ed that it had been recently used
probably by the men who had been
with him.
