the place, and Rob found no oppor-
turity to get away. He feared every
moment that Lemuel Starne would re-
turn and recognize him. And now.
when there was such hope OF rescue,
he did not want Starne to know who
he was-and to be killed when every
thing was going along so well. nc
was glad when night came and he re-
tired to his room. 1t was warm
night, and while his door was open
and the lights still burning. and while
Richard Elvin sat just outside smok-
ing, he opened his window. Elvln
heard it, but suspected nothing.
Then Rob put out his light. shut his
door and pretended to go to bed.
That night about twelve O'Clock the
furious hoof-beats Of a rapidly ridden
horse sounded near the house. Some
one leaped from him and thundered at
the door. A moment later Lemuel
Starne, with white face and painting
bosom, stood before the astonished
Richard Elvin.
Where is he? Where is he?" he
gasped, seizing Elvin's arm.
Where is who? What's the mat
ter with you? What's happened?'
where's this fine penman of yours
Where's that lovely nephew of Torrevo
who was educated in New York;"
I'm bed. What the mischief has got
into you? Are you mad?"
mo, but you are. Do you know
what you've done?"
l-~@ So
what special act do you refer?"
Il refer to your excellent private
secretary" gasped Starne. almost chok-
ing with rage. THAT cub. That-that
where Is he?'
"In bed, tell you!" roared Elvin.
What about him?"
HE is no more the nephew Of Tor
revo than l am. He Is the nephew OF
David Horton. He is the very cub
threw overheard from the Royal Mail.
He was a good private secretary. He
read your fool cipher and sent the
whole story-about me-and ALTO
Horton. He wrote letter Of hi1
own, and sent 1t along with yours
Richard Elvin quivered with emo
tion.
Has Horton seen it?" he managed
to gasp.
mo. caught it just in time. I'll
tell you about 1t later. But where is
he now? i will make sure of him now.
I'll kill him within the next two min
utes."
With trembling finger Richard Elvin
pointed toward the door of Rob's room.
"Jn there!" he whispered.
With an oath Starne drew knife

OF course l said nothing to Horton
about It, but came directly here to
find that cub and finish him. But now,
with the same stupidity that has
marked your course In the matter from
the first. you have let him escape"
Perhaps no harm has been done
You got the letter and no one else has
seen it."
But If he sent one to Horton why
not to the president or anyone else?"
asked Starne.

Where did Torrevo find him? I
am sure there was no craft near when
threw him overheard. Still. might
have been mistaken. The Black Cat
sails swiftly, and it was a dark night.
She would have no lights showing"
Il don't understand it," said Elvin.
''Torrevo brought him hereto the
Bay-and he wore a picturesque Span
ish garb. He seemed to look upon Tor
revo as his uncle. Torrevo certainly
treated him like a nephew. for he beat
him numerically with ropes end
He said the boy insisted upon being
one OF the crew OF the Black Cat"
"Rut 1t is certain that Torrevo lied,
for no one but Horizons nephew could
have written that letter"
"True. Stay! The first time the boy
came to Black Cat Bay. Torrevo beat
him. This time he did not. 1t may
not be the same boy"
"It was the same boy. Torrevo is

course, knowing our power, Torrevo
would not dare do anything while that

Horton what was going on. This would

CHAPTER XII.


When his task was finished Rob
was very nervous. He did not know
how these letters were going to reach
the post. There was no station near.
Elvin came riding in-he had been
to Buenos Ayres-about supper time.
and came in where Rob was, still
wearing his high boots and carrying
his whip. Rob shuddered as he thought
OF what that whip would do II Elvin
discovered the letter to his uncle.
"Finished?" asked the Englishman,
looking at the neat rows Of letters Rob
had arranged.
Yes, sir"
Elvin took up some of the last ones.
and looked them over. He nodded,
and went to his own room. He had
not touched the letters among which
was hidden the one to David Horton.
Now, II 1t only gets into the post
safely!" said Rob to himself. But
how is 1t going to be done?"
No more was said about the letters
that night, and Rob did not dare put
his plan to escape into execution. He
was so eager to have that letter on
safely that he resolved to remain an
other day and watch events And he
knew that II he escaped before the let
ters were mailed Elvin would suspect
something and examine them ALL So
he slept that night again in the little
room of the office.
The next morning at breakfast Ell
vim called man who was working in
the stables. He was a short. ugly fel-
low, almost black.
"Govino." said Elvin, you see those
letters in there on the desk?"
Me see plenty" he said. Many
letters
Saddle horse and ride to Dolores
Go to the postoffice and see Negora
Negora is with us. and will send the
letters without allowing the fact to
become known. Do you understands"
Govino went out and saddled n
horse, and then came in and got the
letters. Rob breathed freely when he
saw the man ride on, for even II he
did read the names on the envelopes.
it was not likely that he would know
that Horton was not to receive one
And perhaps he could not read any
thing.
Elvin remained all that day around

LAND SLIPPING AWAY.
Entire Hun sliding Into the Missouri
River.

Entire Bluf sliding Into the Missouri
River.
A mile south of Atchison. Kansas,
the entire side Of Il bluff is sliding into
the Missouri river. The avalanche Is
quarter of mile long, and at Its
base is the most expensive piece of rail-
road track on the Missouri Pacific sys-
TEN. There is probably not another
quarter Of n mile of track In the Unit
ed States which 1t costs more to main
tain. The odd thing about this monster
landslide is that 1t has been slipping
down for twenty years, and unless 1t
takes an unexpected plunge will prob
ably be slipping for the next twenty
years, and possibly fifty or hundred.
The avalanche is moving more or less
all the time, but not enough to require
watching by the Missouri Pacific ex-
cept about two months In the spring.
During the winter the moisture Is
held in the ground, and when the frost
thaws and the spring rains come the
great mass OF earth begins slipping.
Sometimes it comes down n foot In
twenty four hours, and once In awhile
1t slides six feet. The Missouri Pa
cific then puts n force of from twenty
to fifty men Mt work pulling the track
back to Its proper place and keeping 1t
level. man Is employeu 10 Watch tue
track at night and see that 1t does not
get SO far out OF line as to topple
train over into the river. Orders are Is
sued to engineers to go slow over the
bad track. for the jar of n train might
cause an Unprecedented move. The
current of the Missouri Is always very
swift In the spring, and 1t wears away
the earth as 1t slides in, and 1t appears
n few miles below in the form OF an Is
land.
1t costs the Missouri Pacific several
thousand dollars and causes great
deal Of anxiety every spring, but there
is no way of avoiding 1t.
