covered n box of matches. 1t was
smoker, after ALL
With feverishly trembling fingers,
Rob lighted a match and applied it to
the torch. In an instant 1t burst into
fame and lit up the gloomy cavern
around him. The smoky flame. while
1t gave light enough for him to see,
made the shadows even more terrible
And with the light held above his head
Rob gazed with strained eyes into the
inky blackness OF recesses opening out
on three sides.
But Rob had been through the cav
erns when dozen such torches had
been blazing. and he knew there was
nothing there that would harm him.
There were no wild beasts. So. bolster
ing up his courage with this one con-
soling thought. he began thorough
exploration of the place. From one
cave to another he went. closely ex-
amining the sides, always on the alert
to catch glimpse of what might be
another opening. But he saw none.
There were the great stores of contra
band goods-enough to make a dozen
men rich II sold at fair prices, but
nothing that Rob wanted.
To all the rest of his discomfort now
came the pangs of hunger. He did not
know how long he had slept; therefore
he could not judge how long he had
been in the caves. But he knew he
was very hungry.
He now applied himself to searching
for something to eat.
There was plenty Of tobacco. easily
distinguished by the odor.
But Rob could not eat this. There
were casks of liquor, but Rob had
never touched drop of it, and even
the bottles of which there were many.
did not seem to point to way to
spare him any pain.
He found plenty of bales of stun,
silks. cassimeres and everything in
that line that was dutiable. But not
thing to eat.
After traversing room after room
and vault after vault Rob entered a
large rock chamber. dry and cool. and
ever.
1t was an arsenal. Here were stored
hundreds of rifles, pistols, swords,
knives-in fact every kind of weapon.
And around the sides of the chamber
were kegs probably containing pow
der-and case,-probably containing
cartridges.
Even to Rob's young mind it was
evident that this was more than a
mere smuegler's resort. All those
arms We're there for a purpose-he
knew not what.
But he could not cat them.
Weary. hungry and disheartened,
Rob went back and examined his bed.
Finding it clean and dry he dragged
it to the opening, and extinguished

long time. blinking at the little s;sE.
of light. and listening to til, t-ic,l

The wearIness was too much for hin
at last. and with great sobs shak,.
him he fell asleep.
Even this time he did not know how
long he slept. But he was awakened
by hearing some one outside the cave
He sat up and listened intently Their
was no mistake about it. Some ca
was certainly outside.
Rob's heart now beat violently. Was
this some wandering native. who
would release him from his prison. ans
enable him to go to Buenos Aires and
find his uncle? Or was 1t Lemue
Starne returned to finish his tiend!sh
work?
The eagerness to get out was great

CHAPTER VI.-(Continued).
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. II Starne had any reason
to wish his death. the others must
have the same reason.
There was no way 10 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.
Inc 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 haven of
rest. And when the gang turned to
leave a 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 II 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 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.

other things. the honeybee's wing
showing the booklets by means c.
which the lower of the two wings oil
the bee is Joined to the upper win,
in flying thus making them prac-
tically single wing. The upper o.
the two wings is about half an inch
in length. the lower IL little shorter.
The wings come together where they
are Joined to-the body; they are other
wise separate. When the bee goes into
its hive. it folds its wings together,
one leaf over the other, SO that they
will take up less room. When 1t goe;
abroad. it spreads its wings anu
couples them together with the hooks
When looked at under the microscope

along there. and to this rib. spaced
apart at regular intervals, though they
are all contained within a total space
Of little more than quarter OF aa
inch, there are attached nineteen o.
twenty tiny. bony hooks. There Is
little thickening at the base Of each
hook. where nature has strengthened
1t, and one is inclined to regard the
hooks as inset separately and to look
for the rivets wherewith they were
secured to the plate or rib from which
they spring. The lower edge OF the
upper wing. as looked at under the
microscope, is seen to be curled up into
hange or trough When the bee
comes out of the hive, 1t hooks the
hooks on the upper edge OF the lower
wing into the flange or trough at the
lower edge of the upper wing and
so makes the two wings practically
one-New York Sun.

The cayerns were as still as death. ex-
cept for the trickling water on the
rocky walls. Rob cruched In MS
to him almost an entire day.
His limbs ached. His face was sore
from Torrevos blows. His hands had
swollen from the excessive labor he
had performed. The WEAKNESS at last
oyercame him. First he fought against
the drowsiness. then welcomed 1t, for
1t brought with 1t forgetfulness OF his
troubles. He found some bales OF
cloth, took them into his hiding place,
and lay down upon them. Soon he was
fast asleep.
How long the boy slept he did not
know. But he awoke at last with
start, and wondered how long he had
been there. He left his nook and went
toward the entrance to the caverns.
Then he made discovery that made
his heart almost stand still.
The entrance had been closed with
a great stone.
He was locked in.

touched in his bin. however hungry,
He will not drink water Objectionable
to his questioning sniff, or from a
bucket which some odor makes Of

gent nose will widen, quiver and query
over the daintiest bit offered, by the
fairest hands, with coaXing that would
make a mortal shut his eyes and swal-
low nauseous mouthful at a gulp. A
mare is never satisfied either by sight
or whinny that her colt Is really her
own until she has certified nasal
certificate to the fact. blind horse
will not allow the approach of any
stranger without showing signs of an
ger not. safely to be disregarded. The
distinction is evidently made by his
sense of smell at considerable dis
tance. Blind horses as a rule will gal
lop wildly about pasture without
striking the surrounding fence. The
sense of smell informs him OF its
proximity. Others will, when loosened
from the stable. go direct to the gate
or bars opened to their accustomed
feeding grounds. and when desiring to
return. after hours of careless wander
ing. will distinguish one outlet and
patiently await It's opening. The odoI
of that particular part of the fence is
their pilot to it. The horse in brows-
ing or while gathering herbage with its
lips is guided in its choice of proper
food entirely by its nostrils. Blind
horses do not make mistakes in their
diet.--Horse aud Stable.

many letters asking for the wishbone
