"There Is nothing to be taken ashore
from this. vessel but me. If you think
| am contraband, come with me. But
l warn you not to delay me-
The inspector was impressed, and his
curiosity was aroused.
Come along" he said.
They were soon ashore, and Rob
was amazed at the fine streets and
trio car-something that Rob had sup
posed was limited to .,ew York-and
then got off before a splendid residence
of brick and stone.
Horton lives mere" said the in
spector.
Mr.. Horton was with his wife and
Elsie eating supper, when servant
announced that two persons wanted to
see him on important business. He
went into the wide hall where the
two sat waiting, and looked at Rob
curiously. Rob was worth looking at
Just then. His face was flushed with
pride and happiness, and the spirit of
American youth cleaned in his eyes.
What can l do for you?" asked Mr..
Horton, kindly.
Uncle David. Uncle David! Don't
you guess who l am?" burst out Rob.

Mr. Horton turned white and stepped

blessed joy-welled up from Mr.. Hor-

He clasped Rob to him, and tears

CHAPTER XVI.

Those who are witnlme' to the
death, come behind mel" said Starne
Less than half the crew obeyed. There
was shout from those who remained
mo kill the boy, we all co." said one
"The cub must die. Stand aside!'
The pistol was raised again, and al
the same moment a dozen other pistols
came into view. Starne's men had
some, and Rob's men the rest.
This is mutiny!" yelled Starne al
those who stood by Rob- Il will have
you all in prison.
Back in the group there was one OF
lighter shade than the rest. He had
quite an intelligent face. He had as
yet said nothing. In reply to Starne's
last threat this man stepped forward.
you lie he said. This is not mu-
tiny. A crew cannot mutiny only
against its officers. You have no bust
ness on this schooner. You have killed
our captain. We will not stand by
y l."
r(1Then take this" said Starne, firing
mis- pistol at the man.
The ball took effect in his arm, and
he uttered shout of rage. In an in
slant half dozen shotsshad been fired.
Several of the crew we're wounded.
And Lemuel Starne lay writing on
the deck.
1t was over in an instant. The crew
as if suddenly bethinking itself of
what twas doing, stopped and looked
at Rob.
.Men," he said, "this could not be
avoided. This man is wicked man.
He killed Torrevo, and he would have
killed me. l never did anything to
him. He wanted to kill me to get my
uncle's wealth. AS for that cause he
spoke of, it is as dead as Torrevo, dead
as a dead fish. If you stand by Elvin

and his gang, you will probably be
shot. If they should by'any chance,
win, what can you eXpeGt-after this
You will be shot by either side. Now,
IL you stand by me, and sail this
schooner to Buenos Ayres, / promise
you not only safety, but money besides.
My uncle is rich. When l tell him
what has been DONE the government
must know it also. You will come in
for reward. The smuggling counts
for nothing. You are going to save
the government. You will be rewarded
for that, and all else will be forgotten.
What do you say?"
Sore of the crew understood all OF
this, some a little, and few none at
all. But they talked rapidly among
themselves. Those who mad stood by
Rob had the best of the argument
Those who had been with Starne saw
their leader lying on the deck-prob-
a'7-- dying. What could he do for
the.A? They gave in, and Joined Rob 5

I'VE co. said the light-eolored fell
low who had been shot in the arm.

our young captain. You tell your
uncle we all good men. no one get in
prison"
Not one of you" said Rob. "Hur-
rah. Now see to these fellows who are
wounded. Then let's get to Buenos
Ayres."
In a short time the Black Cat" was
swung around, and went speeding up
the river Rob was, of course, not
able to give any orders to navigate the
vessel, but he felt that theacrew could
be trusted. He had frightened them
when he spoke as if the letter to Mr..
Horton had not been the only letter he
wrote giving the plot away to the gov
eminent.
AS they passed the entrance to Black
Cat Bay, Rob smiled. 1t was not so
long ago that he had been IN that bay.
Juggling bales of cotton, casks, kegs Of
powder, and feeling the stingof blows;
and now he was sailing past it, the
master Of the BLACK Cat and her
swarthy crew.
The -Hlack Cat" sailed into the har-
Dor Of Buenos Ayres. and an inspector
came on board.
."well," he said. its a dong time
since the Black Cat sailed into this
harbor. What's the cargo?'T-
None" said Rob. Il am here on

The freakish performances of ,-the
Mauser bullets, as reported by sur
geons from South Africa, are almost
unbelievable. Letters received from
Mr. Frederick Treves, the eminent
London surgeon now at the front,
speak of one bullet which entered the
top of the head. passed down through
the brain into the mouth and finally
out at the side of the neck. A little
headache and slight squint in one eye
were the only perceptible effects. and
recovery was complete and rapid. In
many cases the abdomen, bowels and
liver have been penetrated almost
without inconvenience. Wounds pierre
ing the lungs often give rise to nothing
more than a little blood-stained expec-
Grafton. In one phenomenal instance a
bullet entered just below the collar
bone. traversed the whole length Of the
chest and body. emerging from the
inner side OF the left thigh. without
effecting more than little temporary
shock.

the old Scotch minister used to put a
plaid across his bed on cold nights,
and some one asked him why he put
that there. He said, "Oh. sometimes

of Jesus and to get down and pray
Then just take that plaid and wrap
it around me to keep myself from the

INTEREST IN THE BANNER CLAIM.
Change I'm the Ownership of Prop
erty In Franklin Camp.

Special Dispatch to the Post Intelligencer.
GRAND FORKS. II. c.. Dec. A.-One-
half interest in the Banner claim, In
Franklin camp, has been purchased from
Frank McFarlane by ID. d. McLaren. of
Carson. The consideration is not made
public but 1t must have been neat sum,
as the property is considered one of the
best prospects in the Boundary. Last
summer IL was under bond to Henry
White for $4,000 but the sale was not
completed because an extension OF time
was refused after $4,000 worth of work
had been done on the claim. A lead or
galeua and copper, with gold and silver
values which bring the average of the ore
up to S3S per ton, has been opened up In
two places on the surface and is sixteen
feet wide. Another lead thirty-two feet
wide, was crosscut in the 200-foot tunnel,
and a sample taken across the whole ore
body ran 81 In copper, with small gold
and silver values. This ore can be easily
concentrated. The Banner could ship to
the CRANKY smelter by wagons at good
profit If a wagon road were completed to
the camp.
