Ito be continued.)

In former times persons guilty OF
grievous and notorious offenses were
required to make open confession and
further to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penance publicly in a white
sheet in their parish church, says
Stray Stories. The sheet was used to
show clearly to every one which was
the offender. The last time that pub
lie penance was done in an English
church was on Sunday evening, July
30, 1882, when a man named Martree,
in the Church of All Saints, East Mar
tree, made an open confession of i'm
morality and promised to perform the
penance thus imposed upon him by
the vicar. No white sheet was used
on this occasion. The last case in
which one was used appears to have
been one in St. Bridget's church, Ches-
ter, in 1851. But on that occasion the
penance was not public, the church
door being locked. In the previous year
however, public penance in a white
sheet was done in a country church in
Essex and a similar thing occurred in
Ditton church, near Cambridge, in
lS49

River that dark night. Hidden from
the men on the swift steamer by the
thick blackness of the night, and the
fact that she carried no lights, was a
schooner, which was feeling her way
across the broad expanse of the estu-
airy, within hailing distance of the
steamship that passed her unwittingly.
This schooner was a peculiar craft.
She was not so peculiar in appearance
craft, built for speed, and carried a
tremendous amount of sail. AS has
been said, there was no light shown on
the schooner. She ran the risk of be-
ing struck by a passing vessel But this
was only chance, and her captain
knew that If lights were shown there
was almost a certainty of being run
down by government boats.
Across the stern of this vessel no
name could be seen in the brightest
daylight. But still she had name. 1t
was "El Cato Negro" or "The Black
Cat"
The crew of eel Cato Negro" was a

French, some Portuguese, and some ma

bad name among the officials of Ar
gentina, and she was, in reality, the
fastest and most successful smuggler
in the world.
She was entering the river, even now,
with a cargo of rifles and ammunition,
and also of rum and tobacco, on which
there is heavy duty in Argentina, and
was making in the dark for a certain
spot where the contraband cargo could
be landed without fear of detection.

So ON Wednesday Rob found him
self on board the "Vigilancia" with his
mother and Mr.. Brown to see him OH.
Mrs. Cleverdale could not help crying
a little, but she laughed gayly imme-

took away with him was his mother
and Mr. Brown laughing away as II
they enjoyed the occasion. This helped
Rob very much.
On Wednesday the big ship left her
dock and steamed away.
1t was in the winter time, and Rob,
closely muffied in big ulster, stood on
the deck watching the sights as they
went down the East river, and down
the bay. After the panorama of the
passing docks he became interested in
the grand view of the harbor, the Sta
tue of Liberty, which looks so differ

forts. with their ugly looking guns, the
taking on of a pilot and his departure

of seasickness, the boy enjoyed the trip
to Rio de Janeiro-a distance of nearly
seven thousand miles-very much.
At Rio, Captain Baker introduced
him to the captain of a ship of the
Royal Mail Line, which was to go to
Buenos Ayres. This was the final step
of Rob's long journey, and it was here
that his troubles were to commence.
There were few passengers on board,

great fancy to Rob, and who at once
struck up an acquaintance with him.
This was a young man about twenty
