mar was tall. and had a heavy beard.
suit, with high boots. There was a
look Of masterful cruelty about him
that made Rob shiver.
Rob noticed that the blacks, and the
crew OF the BLACK Cat" as we'll, shot
glances Of fear toward the calm and
powerful-looking man on horseback.
Poor Rob did not know what to do
FIRST All around him were grooming
and chattering blacks. and the cruel.
sharp words OF Tcr-evo were ringing
In his ears.
'Take It'll Take itl' said one Of the
laborers to him. holding out a pack
Age. Rob tried to take It from the
fellow and put It with others. as he
raw the men around him doing. but It
was too heavy. He let It fall, and
there was the sound Of breaking glass.
immediately the captain OF the BLACK
Cat" let out q shrill yell OF rage, and
Isaped into the boat. He gave Rob a
cut across the shoulders and even on
biz face with the ropes end he carried.
Rob cried out with pain, but Torrevo
cursed and struck him again.
"Cubl Good for nothing!" he
screamed. seemingly beside himself
with rage. "Will you break the cap
tain's bottlesf Take that for your
clumsiness."
The schooner wal a enough to
shore for the man on horseback to hear

: calm, impassive face toward the boat.

me. and what good IL he, except to
steal and lie and break things! I'll

Rob tremblingly took the package
from the dark hands that held 1t out
10 hln. and succeeded in getting 1t in
place without q mishap.
In this way, with much roaring and
sursing By Torreyo. the boat was load

FREAKS OF MEMORY
THINGS THAT INTEREST MOST
EASILY REMEMBERED.
Writer Claims a Good Deal OF Non
sense Is HabituaIIy Talked on the
Subjective All Have Weak Points
in Cur intellect5.

This is a subject regarding which a
good deal of nonsense is habltually
talked. We often hear people say that
they have a good memory for certain
things, but a bad one for other things.
This | believe to be a deluSiOn. "A
mans memory may be good or it may
be bad, but it cannot well be good for
one thing and bad for another thing.
1t might as well be said that a bottle
was good for holding brandy, but bad
for holding whisky. In the case of a
feeble intellect all it's faculties will be
feeble-memory, judgment and all the
rest-but they will not be feeble for
M purpose and vigorous for another
purpose. The fact Is that our men,
DRY is in itself equally powerful or
feeble for all purposes, but we remem-
Der best those things which interest
us most, and SO say that we have
good memories for such things;
while we forget those things which
cOrdingly, that we have bad memories
for those things.
Horace Walpole used to say that
his memory was ail-retentive as to the
names of persons and places, but that
it was absolutely impotent in regard
to dates. 1t has been said of him-
by Macaulay, | think-that he could
tell you the name Of the g%rand-aunt
Of King Ethelwald, but that he could
not tell you whether she lived in the
year SO or in the year 1900. The
truth was that he took an interest in
names and genealogies, but none in
dates. Similarly, in his introduction
to Anne Of Geierstein." Scott aptly
says:
Il have through life been entitled to
adopt old Beattie of Meidledale's an
swer to his parish minister when the
latter was eulogiZing him with respect
to the same faculty: No, DOCTOR said
the honest border laird, L have no
command of my memory; it retains
only what happens to hit my fancy;
and like enough, sir, If o were to
preach to me for a couple of hours
on end | might be unable at the close
OF the discourse to remember one
word of it Perhaps, there are few
whose memory serves them with
equal fidelity as to many different
classes of subjects, but | am sorry to
say that while mine has rarely failed
me as to any snatch of verse or trait
OF character that had once interested
my fancy, it has generally been a
trail support not only as to names
and dates and other minute TECHNICAL
ties OF history, but as to many more
important things.'-Washington Star.

CHAPTER V.-(Continued.,

$1,000 IAS
AS Rob, dressed in his picturesque
spanish costume, stood on the deck,
ae thought he had never seer so many
misunderstanding men. They would
propel the large fiat boats to the
schooner's side. make them fast and
Jump aboard. Then the black boat
men and the crew of the BLACK Cat
would be busy for a time In trans
terring from the hold of the schooner
TO the boats the packages and cases
and casks of the contraband cargo.
Captain Torrevo was here, there and
everywhere, giving loud commands IN
a language that Rob did not under
stand, and which would scarcely be I'M
derstood by any one whose tongue
was limited to the precise language of
any n country.
Captain Torrevo passed Rob several
times without paying him any atten-
ton. What was Rob's great surprise,
then. when the captain OF the BLACK
Cat suddenly turned on him with a
frightful oath and struck him with a
ropes end.
will you do nothing?" roared Cap
tain Torrevo, in what appeared a most
trightfui rage. "Will you stand there,
and me trying 20 get u~nloaded? Get to
work there, or I'll kick you into the
water!"
Rob was tnunderstruck and terribly
frightened. =
I'll do a~nything!" he cried. Don't
strike me! Tell me what you want me
to dol"
Get into that boat. Do your share
OF the work! Help carry the stuff to
the cave!"
As Rob, without trying to soften the
terrific wrath of his seemingly cruel
master. turned to obey, he saw. stand
Ing On the shore, a large, black horse.
Upon this horse was seated a man of
apparently ffty-ive years Of age. This

his teeth hard and tool up a smaller
package. With this, which he could
just carry. he fell into line.
There was now a steady line of men
going from the shore, where two boats
were unloading, over a ridge some few
hundred feet of, up to which there
was a constant rise. They disappeared
over this ridge, and Rob wondered
where they took the c%ontraband goods.
But he was soon to find out. AS part
OF the endless procession, with dark,
shining bodies, before him, and others
coming after him, he walked up the
slope, and at the summit Of the ridge
found that there was a steep descent
on the other side. And down this there
was a swampy place. toward which the
men went. They did not 60 into tbs
swamp. however. Turning one de.
they continued till they reached a spot
where the side Of the hill was almost
straight. Here there was a small open-
ing, almost hidden by a growth OF trees
and bushes. These were being held
aside by men while the burden car
riers went into the opening. To ac-
complish this they were compelled to
put the burden they carried on the
ground, roll or push 1t in, and then get
down on their knees and crawl In
themselves. Rob did just az he had
seen the others do, and when he again
stood upright he found himself In q
great cave, almost totally dark, with
the men moving like spectres Of dark
ness here and there. After a few min
utes he managed to see q little, and
then found that the cave he was in was
only one Of a series of vaulted caverns,
leading back from the ridge toward,
and perhaps under, the water of the
bay. There was a constant slope down.
ward. and Rob judged that the bot
tom Of the ave was at least fifty feet
below the river bed. From one OF the
caverns men now came with torches.
and Rob saw hat this strange place
was a vast ~storehouse OF smuggled
goods. Bales Of tobacco lined n
rock room. Bales of silk and cloth
filled another. Here there were casks
OF brandy and in another place a guam
tity OF liquor In bottles. There was
represented there stolen

bought the goods honestly, they were
stealing 1t into the country. which was
In itself dishonest. And II they would

Young society folks, do you wish to assist in grand cause, and know you do, so here is your chance. Next Thursday, July 9th, is the day set aside for us to commence the long de- layed duty of decorating the old vet erans' graves, those whom we so love, yet have so cruelty neglected.
 Now those who have carriages, please go to some dear old folks and ask them to let you carry them on this mission. All will assemble at the court house at 6 o'clock in the after noon and go in the cool of the even ing, accompanied by the U. D. 0. and all others who love the silent dead, who once carried arms in his coun- try's defense, but has now wrapped his mantle about his form and laid his body in the dust, waiting, resting, sleeping, to be on duty no more until the great trumpet disturbs the peace ful quiet, calling him forth to answer to the roll call. There no furlough will be asked, no privilege needed of going home once again to look into the eyes that look gladder when he comes. MRS. M. J. LUCAS.

MRS. LIMA FINLEY.

Mrs. Lima Finley, the wife of Will liam Finley, died Saturday morning at 7 o'clock at her home on Walnut street, after a five days sickness from complication of troubles.
 The funeral was held Monday morn ing at o'clock, the services being conducted by Rev. 0. o. Cline at the grave in Walnut Grove cemetery.
 The deceased's maiden name was Lima Patterson. She was born in Washington county, Indiana, October 27, 1S47, which made her age nearly 56 years. Her marriage to William Finley occurred twenty-four years ago, the family having moved to Arkansas in November, 1890, and have since that time made Newport their home.
 A devoted husband and three chil- dren by former husband, Mrs. M. W. Burkett and Isaac Lockwood, of Mound City, Kansas, and Chas. Lock- wood of Kossuth, Indiana, are left to mourn her demise.
 Mrs. Finley was a member of the Christian church and very devout believer, whose sweet and unselfish character was ever an inspiration for those about her to better and more useful lives.

 To rise upon some fairer shore, And bright in heavens jeweled crown
 They shine forevermore. There Is no deathl An angel form

 And then we call them 'dead.' And ever near us, though unseen,
 The dear immortal spirits tread, For all the boundless universe
