But you told me-" said Elvin, cholS-
ing with rage, and made worse by Tor
revo's coolness; you told me that he
was your own nephew"
"Certainly-and so he is"
Both Elvin and Starne stood aghast
at this. This was the most monument
al cheek they had ever seen.
"Ie is Horizons nephew and mine
also" said Torrevo as II it was a mat
ter of no Importance. You see, cap
tain, Horizons sister married my
brother"
"Liar!" shouted Starne. Horton
had but one sister. She is now in New
York, and her name is Cleverdale."
"That is true, ALSO" said Torrevo,
with an imperturbability that was
amazing. she married Senior Clever
dale after my brother died"
But this boys name is Cleverdale."
Yes, they gave him that He was
only year old when my brother died"
But you sent him to me to spy, and
report all to Horton"
Captain, you are mistaken. I did
not send him to you at all. You saw
his handwriting and took him. Did l
say for you to take him."
Enough of this TALK" exclaimed
Starne. You have told us pack Of
lies. l know that Horizons sister was
never married but once, and that time
it was to Cleverdale. Torrevo, you are
a traitor and you must pay the penalty
Where is that boy?"
THAT is what l was going to ask
you. You took him. l want him back.
He is very valuable to me on the
schooner.
You will never see the schooner
again." shouted Starne.
Torrevo's quick eye saw the CLEAN
of a pistol He had none himself, but
in the twinkling of an eye he had pro-
duced a long knife. and sprang upon

CHAPTER XIV.

Elvin and Starne rode toward him
slowly.
BE ready for treachery," said
Starne Have your pistol in your
hand. This fellow must be up to mis-
chief"
Torrevo saw them coming, but
walked on as if he feared nothing.
Even had he stood in fear of his life
there was no place to hide.
We'll" said Elvin, maintaining an
outward GOODNESS he did not feel.
What are you doing here? thought
you were to go to Montevideo."
"True, Captain Elvin. l am going.
But / thought perhaps my nephew
would be done with his new duties by
now, and, as he has become very valu-
able on board, am taking a walk out
to your place to get him"
Your nephew! Ha! That's good
And have you not seen that dear
nephew of yours tonight"
81 have not, captain. Else why would
1 be walking out to see him now.
have not been near your place this
night"
mo! And neither has he! Look
here, Torrevo, what is this game you
are playing?"
Game? What game? What do you
mean?"
Torrevo's black eyes glistened with
suspicion as he looked from one to the
other. He readily saw that something
unusual had happened, and from their
words he believed they had discovered
Rob's identity and his own duplicity.
You know well enough what I
mean. You are a traitor"
THAT is what the judge said when
was convicted. That was five years
ago."
Yes, you were traitor 10 your
friends then, and you are a traitor to
your friends now. Did you think you
could hoodwink us? / knew that boy
was Horizons nephew"
$50 did ], !" said Torrevo, stolidly.

CHAPTER XIII.-(Continued.)


Drunk! Not a bit of it.. Did you
ever see Torrevo drunk? l did not. l
tell you it was a put up job. Torrevo
knew you always looked at the in
voices and tally, and he played this
little game for you to see how well the
boy wrote. He knew your anxiety to
get the work done we'll would do tho
rest. But what's the use standing here
talking? He's gone, and getting farther
away every minute"
I'VE must follow-but in which d.
rection?"
I'm which direction? Why, in what
direction would he go but toward his
ally, Torrevo, the traitor? He has
gone back to the Black Cat"
He may have gone toward Buenos
Ayres."
mot he. What could he do there?
I tell you, the bargain included the
safety of Torrevo. The boy has gone
back to join Torrevo, and the Black
Cat will sail for Buenos Ayres with
these two precious fellows on board"
Il will order horses. We can reach
the Black Cat before morning. They
will not sail till then. We may even
overtake the boy"
Now that his stupor was over, EIvin
could think and act quickly. He re-
allied the danger in which he and his
son stood as long as this intrepid and
intelligent young American was alive
and at large. He ordered horses to be
saddled, and, after a drink to brace
their nerves, father and son sat out on
their errand-two men, to run down
and kill a boy.
There was a moon, and the way was
easily made. The horses were put to
their utmost, and mile after mile was
covered, but no Rob was seen.
Suddenly Starne drew up and called
to Elvin.

his course as we'll as he knew how,
for Black Cat Bay, and started off on
a run. He kept up this gait for some
time and then rested. There was no
sight of pursuers, so he trudged on
again, keeping the direction, as he
thought, straight to the river. But he
did not travel as straight as he
thought he did. He made quite a de-
tour to the north, thus missing Tor
revo, but toward morning reached the
river n short distance above the bay.
There was an island, quite noun
tain, out in the river, which could
be seen from the entrance to Black
Cat Bay, and Rob could see it from
the point where he met the river. From
its position he knew he was too high
up, and went down toward the anchor
age.

The Tiger Got Out.

old wagon driver as "reminiscences
were in order. I'VE had ours when
was with Dan Rice, and the papers
gave him such an awful reputation for
ferocity that people dared not to come
within ten feet of his cage. OF course
| used to get off lecture on him. Ac-
cording to my story he had killed and
manned thirteen different men, five
horses, two camels and a rhinoceros.
One day, after | had delivered the old
stereotyped thing, that tiger pushed

out. Some ones carelessness, you
know. There was a wild rush of peo-
pie for the entrance. general alarm
outside the tents, and for a minute
was so scared that | couldn't even
fall down. The tiger was looking
around to see what he could tackle,
when mongrel dog not more than a
third OF his size came rushing up and
sailed into him. True as you live, that
dog bumped that tiger three times
around the tent, swapping at his heels
all the time, and the Bengal got away
from him only by leaping back into
his cage. The affair got into the pa
pers, and of course we got the grand
guy all the rest of the season. 1t paid

Elvin refined in his horse and sat
looking in the direction indicated by
Starne.

And Torrevo it was, making his way
on foot from the BLACK Cat to Ell

There seems to be no let up in the
prosperity that has made it's home in
the United States. The harbors of the
country are full of ships loading with
products for exports; traffic on the
great railroads is congested, long before
the crops are ripened; factories and
mills are working overtime to keep III
with orders, and yet orders must e
placed months beforehand to be filled in
time. One weeks record of new rail
road equipment shows a total of 7,S1"
new cars of different kinds distributed
among eight different roads. In addi-
ton, four other roads have put in Or
ders for a total of twenty-three engines.
The demand for more equipment By the
railroads, which demand is only uoon a
by-product of American industry, con
tinues to be steady. The Dingley tariff
law and the confidence inspired By q
Republican administration has freed
the country from want. idleness ard
poverty, and given it prosperity and
plenty.

Cuba is to have a railroad system that
will cover the whole island in it's ram
ifications. There are unlimited posi-
bilities in the development of Cuba's
agricultural, forest and mineral re-
sources. The first requisite for such de-
velopment is adequate transportation
facilities. A trunk line 900 miles long
is contemplated, with numerous branch
lines. Such a railway system would cost
many millions of dollars, but confidence
is expressed that it would eventually
pay. 1t is a good scheme for the island
and it's people. and probably for its pro-
moters. A resident in New Mexico,
however, will ask, if that much is done
to develop Cuba's resources, why can
not more be done for New Mexico?

Good Work BY the Regents Of The Agricultural
NnIlnno

On Saturday last the board of re-
gents of the agricultural college at Me-
silla Park held a meeting for the pur-
pose of electing officers for the ensuing
year., both Of the board of regents and
of the faculty. Ex-Gov. l.. Bradford
Prince, of Santa Fe, was elected presi-
dent of the board, and a better or more
satisfactory selection could not have
been made. The ex-governor is well
known as one Of the most public-spirit-
ed men in the territory, and as one of
the hardest workers for the advance
ment of it's educational, material and
political conditions. He has been chief
justice Of the territorial supreme court
and governor. He is as we'll acquainted
with the needs and of the ter
ritory as any mar living within it's Dor
ders. He is engaged in agricultural
pursuits, in addition to practicing his
profession, that of the law. His selec-
ton by Governor Otero as one Of the re-
gents was a most happy one, and the

viding that no person should be elected
secretary or treasurer unless he was
willing to accept the position at a sal
airy of 5000 per annum. Heretofore the
salary had been fixed by law at $1,000
per mum
There were present at this meeting
the three Republican members of the
board, namely, Messrs. L. Bradford
Prince, P. Moreno, P. H. Curren. The
Democratic members of the board,
Messrs. G. A. Richardson, of Roswell,
and A. A. Jones, of Las Vegas, failed
to attend.
Many measures for the advancement
and betterment Of the management of
the agricultural college were discussed
and adopted. In this connection it Is

elected for another year, one-half.
While the saving in this matter Is
small, it nevertheless shows the spirit
in which the Republican regents are ad-
ministering the affairs of the college.
1t Is a spirit of economy, efficiency and
fairness. This spirit prevailed in all
other doings of the board at this meet
ing. 1t Is plain that the agricultural
college, with regents of the character
and standing of those who attended last
Saturdays meeting, will enter uron a
new era of usefulness in every one Of
