his teeth hard and took up a smaller
package. With this, which he could
just carry. he fell into line.
There was now a steady line of men
going from the shore, where two boats
were unloading, over ridge some few
hundred feet off, up to which there
was a constant rise. They disappeared
over this ridge, and Rob wondered
where they took the contraband goods.
But he was soon to find out. AS part
of the endless procession. with dark.
shining bodies before him, and others
coming after him, he walked I'D the
slope, and at the summit of the ridge
found that there was a steep descent
on the other side. And down this there
was swampy place, toward which the
men went. They did not go into the
swamp, however Turning one side
they continued till they reached a SPOT
where the side of the hill was almost
straight. Here there was a small OPEN
ing. almost hidden by growth of trees
and bushes. These were being held
aside by men while the burden car
riers went into the opening. To ac-
complish this they were compelled to
put the burden they carried on the
ground, roll or push it in, and then get
down on their knees and crawl in
themselves. Rob did just as he had
seen the others do, and when he again
stood upright he found himself in
great cave, almost totally dark, with
the men moving like spectres of dark
ness here and there. After a few min
utes he managed to see little, and
then found that the cave he was in was
only one OF a series of vaulted caverns,
leading back from the ridge toward,
and perhaps under, the water of the
bay. There was a constant slope down.
ward, and Rob judged that the bot
tom of the cave was at least fifty feet
below the river bed. From one of the
caverns men now came with torches.
and Rob saw that this strange place
was vast storehouse of smuggled
goods. Bales of tobacco lined one
rock room. Bales of silk and cloth
filled another. Here there were casks
of brandy and in another place a guam
tity of liquor in bottles. There was
wealth represented there - stolen
wealth-for, even If the smugglers had
bought the goods honestly, they were
stealing it into the country, which was
in itself dishonest. And IL they would
do this, no doubt they would steal ii,

Evening tho uonors Tn.

1t was at President Hadley's re-
ception that the following bit OF con-
versation was overheard: DR.. Dwight
turning to a prominent young alumnus
of Yale, after greeting him with "Hel-
10, classmate," said something about
his own very recent return from the
country, adding afterward: "By the
way, owe one of the New Haven
newspapers a grudge. 1t printed an
item about me some time ago to this
effect: 'Ex-President Theodore Dwight
has just returned from his summer
home at Norfolk Now, my name is
Timothy and my summer home is at
Litchfield." "Well, that is one of the
things, at all events that can be very
easily rectified, DOCTOR" said the alum
nus pleasantly. YES" replied the
doctor, with droll smile, they might
say, and l think it would be satisfac-
tory to me, that Prof. Alfred Hadley
has just been elected president of an
institution at Waterbury. New

mans face that he seemed to make the
others gentle by comparison.
Hurry up, there!" he shouted in
English, flourishing his whip. 1--WE are
being watched every day now. There
may be soldiers here any minute. Get
the stuff ashore in hurry"
The men strained harder, and soon
the fiat nose OF the boat was showed up
on the sand. The men leaped out, each
one giving a quick look at the master,
as If expecting every moment a cut
with the heavy whip.
"Hey, Torrevo, who is this?" he
shouted, pointing to Rob.
THAT fool of nephew of mine"
shouted back the captain of the BLACK
Cat" "He is no good, but he would
make a trip with me. Whip him, if
he is lazy"
Rob remembered what Torrevo had
said about his appearance as the
nephew of the captain of Eel Cato
Negro" and wondered if he, as Rob
Cleverdale, had any more to fear than
he was getting as Torreyo's nephew. 1t
seemed to be the object of Torrevo to
make him out as stupid and worthless
as possible, and to give the English
man the impression that he hated his
nephew.
The men on the boat now began to
pick up their burdens, and poor Rob,
not one-fifth as strong as one of these
fellows, did the same. He unfortunate
ly picked up a package that was too
heavy for him, and staggered with it
right before the tall, Satanic individ-
ual, whom all so palpably feared.
In an instant there was a swish, and
the Englishman's whip came down on
Rob's shoulders

A Ouaker wedding.

The Elk City (Kan.) Enterprise de-
scribes a Quaker wedding which took
place in that city the other day. The
bridal couple came into the meeting
house and took their seats all alone
on the rostrum, while 200 people sat
silently on the benches. After a long
wait, during which not a sound was
uttered, the groom arose and taking
the bride by the hand. said: Friends,
in the presence of God and before this
assembly take Marietta Stevens to be
my wife, promising with divine assist
ance to be unto her faithful husband
until death shall separate u.s." Then
the bride in like manner promised to
be to him a loving and faithful wife,
and the ceremony was over.

man was tall, and had heavy beard.
He was dressed in a well-ftting riding
suit, with high boots. There was a
look of masterful cruelty about him
that made Rob SILVER.
Rob noticed that the blacks, and the
crew of the BLACK Cat" as we'll, shot
glances of fear toward the calm and
powerful-looking man on horseback.
Poor Rob did not know what to do
first. All around him were groaning
and chattering blacks, and the cruel,
sharp words of Torrevo were ringing
in his ears.
take it! Take it," said one of the
laborers to him, holding out q pack
age. Rob tried TO take it from the
fellow and put it with others, as he
saw the men around him doing, but it
was too heavy. He let it fall, and
there was the sound of breaking glass.
Immediately the captain of the BLACK
Cat let out shrill yell of rage, and
leaped into the boat. He gave Rob a
cut across the shoulders and even on
his face with the ropes end he carried.
Rob cried out with pain, but Torrevo
cursed and struck him again.
"Cubi Good for nothing he
screamed, seemingly beside himself
with rage. will you break the cap
tain's bottles? Take that for your
clumsinsss."
The schooner was near enough to
shore for the man on horseback to hear
and see what was going on. He turned
q calm, impassive face toward the boat.
"Its that good -for-nothing nephew
OF mine. Senior Captain" sang out Tor
revo. HE would go on a voyage with
me and what good is he, except to
steal and lie and break things? I'll
break hint Come. take this and see
II you can break it,"
Rob tremblingly took the package
from the dark hands that held it out
10 him, and succeeded in getting it in
place without a mishap.
In this way, with much roaring and
cursing by Torrevo, the boat was load
ed. and then started toward the shore.
The tall man on the horse now got
down on the ground, and stood with
heavy whip in his hand and a ma
leyolent expression on his face. This
man was evidently an Englishman or
en- American. Rob had thought the
dark. evil faces on the BLACK Cat"
dreadful to look at. but there was
something so utterly cruel in this
The Yale expositor., 1900-01-05
CHAPTER V.-(Continued.)

AS Rob, dressed in his picturesque
Spanish costume, stood on the deck,
he thought he had never seen so many
Misunderstanding men. They would
propel the large fiat boats to the
schooner's side, make them fast and
jump aboard. Then the black boat
men and the crew OF the BLACK Cat"
ferring from the hold of the schooner
to the boats the packages and cases
and casks of the contraband cargo.
Captain Torrevo was here, there and
everywhere, giving loud commands in
a language that Rob did not under
stand. and which would scarcely be un-
derstood by any one whose tongue
was limited to the precise language of
any one country.
Captain Torrevo passed Rob several
times without paying him any atten-
ton. What was Rob's great surprise,
then, when the captain of the BLACK
Cat" suddenly turned on him with a
frightful oath and struck him with a
ropes end.
"Will you do nothing?" roared Cap
tain Torrevo, in what appeared a most
frightful rage. "Will you stand there,
and me trying to get unloaded? Get to
work there, or I'll LEX you into the
water!"
Rob was thunderstruck and terribly
frightened
"I'll do anything!" he cried. Don t
strike me! Tell me what you want me
to do!
Get into that boat. Do your share
of the work! Help carry the stuff to
the cave!"
AS Rob, without trying to soften the
terrific wrath of his seemingly cruel
master, turned to obey, he saw, stand
ing on the shore, a large, black horse.
Upon this horse was seated a man of
apparently flfty-fve years of age. This
