CHAPTER II.

S1AF En- IL.
Having gone thus far, Rob would not
have been q 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 a true boy. He
was a 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 as this would not hail with
delight life In South America, with
prospects Of adventures in wild and
mysterious places.
Mrs. Cleverdale so far entered into
his hopes and plans. that at last she
became not only reconciled to the part
ing. but pleased at 1t. 1t meant so
much for the boy she dearly loved. She
believed that her own life would not
be long. and she was glad of this op-
portunity for Rob to find home where
his future was assured.
And at last the eventful day came.
Mrs. Cleverdale had a friend. a lawyer,
who undertook to get Rob safely of.
He goes to Rio de Janeiro on the
United States and Brazil mall" said
the lawyer, Mr.. Brown. "At Rio he
changes and takes another ship. For
tunately. am acquainted with the cap
tain Of the 'Vigilancia,' which sails
next week from here. will take Rob
to see him, and then we can rest as
sured that he will arrive safely. There
Is no better sailor or better man afloat
than Captain Baker of the .Vigilan-
cia'"
So Mr.. Brown took Rob to meet Cap
tain Baker. The captain of the Vigil
lancia' was fine. hearty man, every
inch a sailor. and every inch gentle
man. He won the boys heart at once
by his kindness.
Don't you worry about this young
gentleman, Mr.. Brown" he said. He
and l are going to be very good friends.

He helped to organize the Rock Island
district lodge. being elected its secre-
tary and lecturer. and travelled over
number of counties In its interest. He
was then 20 years old.
During his college life he was very
active in prohibition work. attending
the Illinois state convention in 1888
and 1890. In 1889. he won the nation
al prohibition oratorical contest at
Decatur. In 1890. he was the prohibi-
tion candidate for congress in the
Ninth Illinois district.
In the fall of '93 he began preach
Ing at Mackinaw, ILL.,. continuing to
fill the pulpit there until Jan. 1. 1898.
though for two years preceding that
time he was giving nearly his entire
time to party work.
For two years he was secretary of
the Christian Endeavcr Union of the
state and was elected Its president in
1895, and reelected In 1896. During
his presidency he addressed nearly
every district and county convention
in the state.
He was the founder of the Illinois
News. which has come to be recognized
ds the btate paper VI lhe ShuTcn VI
Christ.
Mr.. Stewart has attended every
party convention held In his state
since 1888. He was elected a member
Of the Illinois state committee In 1894.
chairman Of the state executive COM
mittee in 1896. and Of the state CEN
trail committee in 1898. He was per-
manent chairman Of his own state
convention in 1896 and also Of the ma
tional convention at Pittsburg the
same year.

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 on
Mrs. Cleverdale could not help crying
little, but she laughed gayly imme-
diately after, and the memory that Rot
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.
It was in the winter time, and Rob
closely muffled 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
ent when Viewed from the city; the
forts, with their ugly looking guns, the
taking on OF a 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 a
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 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 ship Of the
Royal Mail Line. which was to go to
Buenos Ayres. 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
zil or the Argentine Republic, travel
ing on business. There was one pas
senger, however, who seemed to take a
great fancy to Rob- and who at once
struck up an acquaintance with him.
This was young man about twenty
five years of age. His name was Lem
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 Mail" 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 coalblack
eyes glistened when Rob, in the inno-
cence of his heart. told what a splendid
pfrer Mr.. Horton had made him. But

m.t.orolor,c., Use of tn. 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 12,44O feet in February
of this year. The 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 forecasting on
account Of light winds, which pre-
vented daily flights at all the stations,
but many data were obtained stimuli
taneously in the free air and at the
ground.

In Mexico match factories all labor
Is task work. Women are employed
outside the factories to give shape to
the boxes. Wood brings from to 8
pesos cord. The price of matches va
ries from 75 cents to $2.25 gross, ac-
cording TO size of box and
quality. The principal factory is
In the state OF Vera Cruz.
1t is operated by French machinery,
except the motor. which is of American
make. Wax matches have almost en-
tirely superseded the wooden matches
formerly used in this country. The wax
taper Is less bulky. generally has two
striking ends. emits no disagreeable
odor, and is made waterproof. No
matches are imported into Mexico.

The Rescue on Board the Black Cat.
The steamship Of the Royal Mail was
not the only thing afloat in La Plata
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 q
schooner. which was feeling her way

steamship that passed her unwittingly
This schooner was peculiar craft.
She was not so peculiar in appearance
as in action. She was low, narrow
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 passing vessel. But this

REASONS FOR SOME WARS.
Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Load
John hull to Fight.

Apparently Doesn't Take Much to Lead
John bull to Fight
An English paper has the following
to say on the reasons for some British
wars: From all appearances 1t does
not take much provocation to set John
Bull at war. William the ConQueror
made war on France because King
Philip had made sighting allusion
to his embonpoint. More recent wars
have been brought about by trivial In
cidents. In 1910 large trade in opium
was done by British traders in China,
and the Chinese government at length
forbade the Importation of the per-
nicious drug by our sailors. The edict.
however, had little or no effect, and the
trade continued, till at length the
Chinese, imprisoned number of Brit
ish subjects and we promptly declared
war. Our second war, In 1856, ought
never to have come about II its origin
Is taken into account. A Chinese pi-
rate hoisted the British flag at his
mainmast, and was afterward seized by
his government as a bloodthirsty ad-
venturer. Had he failed to run up our
flag his capture would have been re-
garded as a good thing here. but as it
was, 1t was taken as an insult, and we
made war on the Chinese for refusing
to apologize. The horrors of the In
dian mutiny will still be remembered
by a minority of our readers, and the
cause which led to 1t is a matter OF
history. Cartridges creased with cows
fat were served out to the Sepoys. who
refused to use them on the ground that
the COW was a sacred animal. We in
sisted, and almost without any warn
ing, the terrible massacres followed.
