"But this boys name 10 Cleverdale.' "

"But you sent him to me to spy, and

Captain, you are mistaken. I did
not send him to you ataall. You saw
his handwriting and took him. Did
say for you to take him!"
Enough Of this TALK" exclaimed
Starne. "You have told us a pack OF
lies. I know that Horizons sister was

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, Elvin
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 boy.
There was 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.

One day, after had delivered the old
stereotyped thing. that tiger pushed

out. Some ones carelessness, you
know. There was q wild rush Of peo-
pie for the entrance, d general alarm
outside the tents, and for minute I
was so scared that I couldn't even
fall down. The tiger was looking
around to see what he could tackle.
when mongrel dog not more than q
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

Life Risk Small in
 Railway Travel
ONE IN 10000 PASSENGERS ON u S. ROADS INJURED IN A YEAR.
Carefully Compiled Figures By the Interstate Commerce Commission For Year 1903.

Washington, July 1s.-Truthful figures compiled by the Interstate Commission show the risk a per son takes in travelling over the rail roads of the United States. For the Fiscal year ending June 20, 1901, ihe total casualties were S6,393, or nearly enough persons to populate a city the size of Albany. This number probab- ly exceeds the fatalities of a year of the Russian-Japanese war.
 Alarming as these figures appear ID the aggregate they lose their force when compared with the total number of persons who use the railroads in year There were 694, 1891 .535 passen- gers carried in the fiscal year, which proves that little more than one person out of 10000 met with missap in travelling. Out of the total casual ties. es4O represents the number kli- ed. and ' .553 the injured.
 The Commissions statistics, an nounced today, also show that the par vaIue of the railway outstanding al the end of the fiscal year was si2.' 5es e9O .25s, which represents capital ization of s63,1sS a mile. This IS more than the public debt of the Unit ed States. Other interesting facts concerning the statistics are:
 The number of passengers carried was an increase of 45.0f2.029 ove: the preceding year; freight. 1.304.3s4.32 tons. an increase of 104 .07S. .536 tons.
