Doing rsnarcc for sins.

In former times persons guilty OF
gricvous and notorious ofIcnscs were
required to make open confession and
further to make satisfaction for the
scandal given by their bad example by
doing penancc publicly in 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
IL penancc was done in ap English
cimrcti was on Sunday cvcsiing. July
q. 1889. when 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
penancc 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
penancc was not public. the church
door being locked. In the previous year
however, public penance In white
sheet was done In country church in

was shot by Mexican regulars during

These sacred books reveal the religious

The maestro to whom they belonged
was one of band Of Indian marauders
that had been devastating the country
as they passed through II. and commit
ting all kinds OF atrocities while on
their way to Join the remainder of the

Meteorological U.e Of the Kite.

In the meteorological section of the
british association Mr.. Rotch gave an
account of the work done at the Blue
Hill meteorological observatory. Mas
sachusetts. by means OF kites during
the last year. The maximum height
attained was 12.ii0 feet in February
of this year. Tho fact that the In
crease of altitude obtained this year Is
smaller than in former years seems to
indicate that the extreme height to
which the kites can rise is being ap-
preached. The attempt of the United
States weather bureau to secure daily
records with kites at sixteen stations
was unsuccessful for forccasting on
account OF light winds, which pre-
vented daily flights at all the stations,
but many data were obtained stimuli
taneously in the FREQ air and at the
ground.

not the only thing nfioat in la Plata
River that dark night. Hidden from
the men on the swift steamer by the
thick blackncss OF the night. and the
fact that she carried no lights. was a
schooner, which was feeling her way
across the broad cxpansc of the cstu-
airy. within hailing distance of the
steamship that passed her unwittinEly.
This schooner was n peculiar craft.
She was not so peculiar In appearance
as in action. She was n low. narrow
craft. built for speed. and carried n
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 n passing vessel. But this
was only chance. and her captain
knew that II lights were shown there
.was almost n 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 n name. II
was "Ei Cato Negro" or "Thc Black
Cat"
The crew OF "El Cato Negro" was
mixed lot OF rascals, some being span
ish. born in South America. some being
French. some Portuguese. and some ma
tive Indian. "Thc Black Cat" had
bad name among the officials OF Ar
gcntina, and she was. in reality, the
fastest and most successful smugSier
I'm the world.
She was entering the river. even now
with cargo of rifles and ammunition
and also Of rum and tobacco. on which
there is n heavy duty in Argentina. ana
was making in the dark for n certain
spot where the contraband cargo could
be landed without fear of detection.
The language spoken on board the
"Black Cat" was something beyond
nrinted words to describe. 1t was GER
tainly n jargon of English. mixed with
spanish. French or any other Ian
p,,nre that came handy. The men were
to n man. desperate. cut-throat gang.

We are going to enjoy every foot OF the
way from here TO Rio. and there he
will be placed in good hands for the
rest Of the trip. He's all right. We
sail on Wednesday. Don't forget"
So on Wednesday Rob found him
self on board the "vigilancia" with his
mother and Mr.. Brown to see him OF.
Mrs. Cleverdalc could not help crying
a little. but she laughed gayly imme-
diately after. and the memory that Rob
took away with him was his mother
and MIR. Brown laughing away as II
they enjoyed the occasion. This helped
0ob very much.
On Wednesday the big ship left her
dock and steamed away.
II was in the winter time. and Rob.
closely muffied In big ulster, stood on
the deck watching the sights as they
went down tho 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 diner-
ent when viewed from the city: the
forts. with their ugly looking guns, the
taking on OF n pilot and his departure
all these things kept Rob interested.
SO that even when he thought he was
leaving his native land. perhaps for
ever, he waved aside the sorrow, and
told himself that soon he would be
man with money enough to come back
II he wished.
Captain Baker was very kind to Rob.
and, with the exception OF few days
OF seasickness. the boy enjoyed tho trip
to Rio de Janeiro-a distance OF nearly
seven thousand mlles-very much.
At Rio. Captain Baker introduced
him to the captain Of n ship OF the
Royal Mail Line. which was to go to
Bucnos Ayrcs. This was the final step
OF Rob's long journey. and 1t was here
that his troubles were to commence.
! There were few passengers on board.
and most Of these were natives OF Bra
I'll or the Argentine Republic. travel
Ing on business. There was one pas
senger. however. who seemed to take
great fancy to Rob, and who Mt once
struck up an acquaintance with him.
This was young man about twenty
five years of age. His name was Lem

CHAPTER II.

Having gone thus far. Rob would not
have been true boy had he not look
ed forward to this great change In his
life without more or less eagerness and
pleasure. And Rob was true boy. He
was n good boy. and good scholar.
He was the best runner. the best foot
ball player. and the best swimmer In
the circle Of boys In which he was
leader. The blood Of splendid health
coursed through his veins. He was
sturdy. strong and handsome. What
boy such rs this would not hail with
delight a life In South America. with
prospects of adventures In wild and
mysterious places.
Mrs. Cleverdale 30 far entered into
his hopes and plans. that Mt last she
became not only reconciled to the part
Ing. but pleased at II. II meant SO
much for the boy she dearly loved. She
believed that her own life would po,
be long. and she was glad of this op-
portunity for Robto ind home where
his future was assured.
And ut last the eventful day came.
Mira. cievcrdale had friend. a lawyer.
who undertook to get Rob safely on.
He goes to Rio de Janciro on the
United States and Brazil mail" said
the lawyer. Mr.. Brown. AT Rio he
changes and takes another ship. For
;unaiciy. I am acquainted with the cap
tain OF the 'visiiancin.' which sails
next week from here. will take Rob
TO see him. and then we can res, as
Surcd that he will arrive safely. There
Is no better sailor or better man ailoa,
than Captain Baker Of the 'vigiian-
cIa.'"
So Mr.. Brown took Rob to meet Cap
tain Baker. Tho captain of the Vigil
laneia' was n fine. hearty man. every
inch sailor. and every inch gentle
man. He won the boys heart a, once
by his kindness.
Don't you worry about this youn.

MUSICAL PITCH.
a Matter That IL of impost.aes io
stnEers.

ttnEerS-
Tho question Is once more being
raised in this country OF the dcsira-
biiity of uniform musical pitch. says
Chambers Journal. Some years ago
the Philharmonic society. In London.
decided to lower the pitch OF its or
chcstra TO that universal on the con-
tincnt: and. although there was some
confusion Mt first. the wisdom of that
movement is now acknowledged. The
great bar TO the common adoption OF
the lower pitch Is that its acceptance
would render necessary the provision
OF new instruments of the various mill
tary bands throughout the country.
and the alteration. at great expense.
Of organs. both In concert halls and
In churches. Pianofortc manufacturers

but now. on the Initiative OF Mcssrs.
Broadwood & Sons. they are nearly all
expressing their willingness to adopt
the lower pitch. provided that the
movement is n general one. The exact,
pitch of sound can be accurately
measured by its number of vibrations
per second: thus. the old pitch would
mean for the note a a piano wire Civ
ing 45i vibrations at a temperature OF
6S degrees Fahrenheit. while the lower
pitch which II is proposed to adopt this
autumn would mean only I39 vibra-
tions for the same note. The matter is
one OF great Importance to singers.
who have now to strain their voices
in order to reach higher altitude

uel Starne. and he was apparently of
mixed English and Spanish parentage.
He was quite handsome and well dress
ed. with black. piercing eyes. and a
firm look about the mouth. Rob was
glad to be friends with Mr.. Starne. for
the sail to Buenos Ayres would have
been long and lonely one without a
friend to talk to. The captain of the
Royal Mali was not so friendly as
Captain Baker. and Rob fell In with
Mr.. Starne most OF the time.
Mr.. Starne was much interested In
Rob's prospects. and his coal-black
eyes slistened when Rob. In the inno-
'cence OF his heart. told what splendid
offer Mr.. Horton had made him. But
Mr.. Starnc. while getting all Rob's
story out OF him. said nothing about
his own business on board the Royal
Mall"
The ship stopped ut Montevidco. In
Uruguay. and then entered the River
de In Plata.
I, was on a black and moonicss night
when Rob and Mr.. Stnrne were stand
Ing near the rail chatting. The few
passengers were distributed far away
from them. and the crew were busy.
There was no one near enough to see
In the darkness. Just what was going
on In that portion OF tho deck.
Mr.. Starnc was bending over the rail-.
Look down there" he said to Rob.
''Sec that splendid phosphorcsccnt
light"
Rob leaned far over the rail- and
pccrcd downward.
Suddenly he felt clutch from be-
hind. a hand was clappcd over his
mouth. and. without being able to cry
out or to make struggle for his life.
Rob was showed over the rail. and went
down like log into the foam!n. wa
tcrs that churncd around the speeding
steamer.
