ESTEBAITS CONNECTION WITH THE INSURRECTOS BRINGS DISASTER UPON HIMSELF AND ROSA. Synopsis.--Don Esteban Varona, a Cuban planter, hides his wealth --money, jewels and title deeds--In a well on his estate. The hiding place is known only to Sebastian, a slave. Don Esteban's wife dies at the birth of twins, Esteban and Rosa. Don Esteban marries the avaricious Donna Isabel, who tries unsuccessfully to wring the secret of the hidden treasure from Sebastian. Angered at his refusal, she urges Don Esteban to sell Evangelina, Sebastian's daughter. Don Esteban refuses, but in the course of a gambling' orgie, ho risks Evangelina at cards and loses. Crazed by the loss of his daughter, Sebastian kills Don Esteban and is himself killed. Many years pass and Donna Isabel is unable to find the hidden treasure. Don Mario, rich sugar merchant, seeks to marry Rosa, who has returned from school in the United States. Johnnie O'Reilly, an American, who loves Rosa, wins her promise to wait for him until he can return from Mew York. . r : CHAPTER IV--Continued. Beating himself on one of the old •tone benches, the young man lit a cigarette and composed himself to wait. He sat there for a long time, Crumbling inwardly, for the night was damp and he was sleepy; but at last a figure stole out of the gloom and Joined him. The newcomer was a rag- fed negro, dressed in the fashion of the poorer country people. "Well, Asensio, I thought you'd never come. I'll get a fever from this I" Esteban said Irritably. "It is a long way, Don Esteban, and Bvangelina made me wait until dark. X tell you we have to be careful these days." ••What to the newst What did you hear?" Asensio sighed gratefully as he seat­ ed himself. "One hears a great deal, tout one never knows what to believe. There is fighting In Santa Clara, and Maceo sweeps westward." Taking the unaddressed letter from hit pocket, Esteban said, **I have an­ other message for Colonel Lope*." /"That Lopez l He'i here today and there tomorrow; one can never find ! ;V ; , Well, you must find him, and im­ mediately, Asensio. This letter con­ tains important news--so important, in fief--Esteban laughed lightly--"that If you find yourself in danger from the Spaniards I'd advise you to chew it up affitl swallow it as quickly as you can.** *Tll remember that," said the negro, "Jw there's danger enough. Still, I fear these Spaniards less than the Caerrilleros: they are everywhere. They call themselves patriot* but they are nothing more than robbers. They--** Asensio paused abruptly. He seized %}« companion by the arm and, lean­ ing forward, stared across the level Harden Into the shadows opposite. (Something was moving there, under the trees; the men could see that it |wps white and formless, and that It jpursued an erratic course. "What's that?" gasped the negro. He tagan to tremble violently and his feieath became audible. Esteban was compelled to hold him down by inaln force. "It's old Don Esteban, your fa­ ther. They say he walks at midnight, Carrying his head in his two hands." Young Varona managed to whisper, with some show of courage: "Hush! Walt! I don't believe in ghosts." Nev- |f^Wbatfs That?* Qasped the Negro. Jirtheless, he was on the point of set (flng Asensio an example of undignified jftlght when the mysterious object (•merged from the shadows into the J*pen moonlight; then he sighed with frelief: "Ah-ht Now I see! It Is ay jttepmother. She is asleep." For a moment or two they watched 4the progress of the white-robed figure; Jthen Esteban etlrred and eose from his j#eat. "She's too close to that well. Where Is--" He started forward Jpace or two. "They say people who ,Hvalk at night go mad if they're awak- f Ifned too suddenly, and yet--" When the somnambulist's deliberate progress toward the mouth of the well Continued he called her name softly. •'Donna Isabel!" Then he repeated it The woman seemed to hear and yet not to hear. She turned her head to listen, but continued to walk. "Dont be alarmed," he said, reas­ suringly. "It is only Esteban--Donna Isabel! Stop!" Esteban sprang for­ ward^ shouting at the top of his voice, for at, the sound of her name Isabel had abruptly swerved to her right, a movement which brought her danger­ ously close to the lip of the well. "Stop! Go back!" screamed the young man. Ab?ve his warning there came a shriek, shrill and agonised--a wail of such abysmal terror as to shock the night birds and the Insects Into still­ ness. Donna Isabel slipped, or stum­ bled, to her knees, she balanced briefly, clutching at random while the earth and crumbling cement gave way be­ neath her; then she slid forward and disappeared, almost out from between Esteban's hands. There was a noisy rattle of rock and pebble and a great splash far below; a chuckle of little stones striking the water, then a faint bubbling. Nothing more. The stepson stood in his tracks, sick, blind with error; he was swaying over the open­ ing when Asensio dragged Mm back. Pancho Cueto, being a heavy sleeper, was the last to be roused by Esteban's outcries. When he had hurriedly slipped into his clothes in response to the pounding on his door, the few serv­ ants that the establishment supported had been thoroughly awakened. Cueto thought they must be out of their ininds until he learned what had be­ fallen the mistress of the house. Then, being a man of action, he too Issued swift orders, with the result that by the time he and Esteban had run to the well a rope and lantern were ready for their use. Before Esteban could form and fit a loop for his shoulders there was sufficient help on hand to lower him into the treacherous abyss. That was a gruesome task which fell to Esteban, for the well had been long unused, Its sides were oozing slime, its waters were stale and black. He was on the point of fainting when he finally climbed out, leaving the negroes to hoist the dripping, inert weight which he had found at the bottom. Old Sebastian's curse had come true; Donna Isabel had met the fate he had called down upon her that day when he hung exhausted in his chains and when the flies tormented him. The treasure for which the woman had Intrigued so tirelessly had been her death. Furthermore, as if in grim­ mest irony, she had been permitted at the very last to find it. Living, she had searched to no purpose whatso­ ever; dying, she had almost grasped It In her arms. Once the first excitement had abated and a messenger had been sent to town, Cueto drew Esteban aside and questioned him. A shocking tragedy and most per culiar," said the overseer. "Nothing could amaze me more. Tell me, how did you come to be there at such an hour, eh?" Esteban . saw the malevolent curios­ ity In Cueto's face and started. MI-r- Tbat Is my affair. Surely you don't th^nk--" "Come, come! You can trust me." The overseer winked and smiled. "I had business that took me there," stiffly declared the younger man. "Exactly I ^And a profitable bust* ness It proved!" Cueto laughed openly now. "Well, I don't mind telling you Donna Isabel's death Is no disappoint­ ment to anyone. Anybody could see--" "Stop r Esteban was turning alter­ nately red and white. "You seem to Imply something outrageous." "Now let us be sensible. I under­ stand you perfectly, my boy. But an officer of the Guardia Civil may arrive at any moment and he will want to know how you came to be with your stepmother when she plunged Into that trap. So prepare yourself." Young Varona was watching his in­ quisitor now with a faintly speculative frown. When Cueto had finished, Es­ teban said: You would like me to confess to some black iniquity that would make us better friends, eh? Well, it so hap­ pens that I was not alone tonight, but that another person saw the poor worn an's death and can bear me out in ev­ erything I say. No, Pancho, you over­ reach yourself. Now, then"--Esteban was quick-tempered, and for years he had struggled against an instinctive distrust and dislike of the plantation manager--"remember that I hav* be­ come the head of this house, and your employer. You will do better to think of your own affairs than of mine. I Intend to have a careful reckoning I think you know I have a fnr figurant" Turning hi* ottck upofc tue eider | away. i Now it did not occur to Cueto really to doubt the boy's innocence, thati£h the circumstances of Donna Isabel's deatl} were suspicious enough to raise a question in any ihind; but In view of Esteban's threat he thought It wise to protect himself by setting a back­ fire. As he sat on an old atone bench, moodily replcturing the catastrophe as Esteban had describe^ It,, his attention fell upon an envelope at his feet. It was sealed; it was unaddressed. Cue­ to Idly broke It open and began to read. Before he had gone far he start­ ed ; then he cast a furtive glance about. But the place was secluded; he was unobserved. When he finished reading he rose, smiling. He no longer feared Esteban. On the contrary, he rather pitied the young fool; for here between his fingers was that which not only promised to remove the boy from his path forever, but to place In his hands the entire Varona estates. One afternoon, perhaps a week later, Don Mario de Castano came puffing and blowing up to the qulnta, demand­ ing to see Rosa without a moment's delay. With a directness unusual even in him, Dort Mario began: "Rosa, my dear, you and Esteban have been discovered! I was at lunch with the commandante when I learned the truth. Through friendship I pre­ vailed upon him to give you an hour's grace." £ Inquired the girl. "Come, come I" the planter cried, im­ patiently. "Don't you see you can trust me?

He resembled some queer bloated marine monster just emerged from the sea and momentarily dazzled by the light. "You-- You're mad," he finally gasped. "Bsteban, tell her what it means." But this Esteban could not do, for he himself had not the faintest no­ tion of what was In store for him. War seemed to hima glorious thtftg; he had been told that the hffla were peopled with patriots. He was very young, his heart was ablase with hatred, for the Spaniards and for Pancho Cueto. He longed to risk his life for a free Cuba. Therefore he said: "Rosa shall do as she pleases. If we must be exiles we shall share each other's hardships. It will not be for long." Tdlot I" stormed the fat man. "Bet­ ter that you gave her to the sharks below San Severino. There is no law, no safety for women outside of the cities. The Island is in anarchy. These patriots you talk about are the blacks, the mulattoes, the--lowest, laziest sav­ ages In Cuba." "Please! Don Mariot" the girl pleaded. "I car not marry you, fOF--I love another.* , , v "Eh?" • : "I love another. I'm betrothed to O'Reilly, the American-^nd' he's com­ ing back to marry me." De Castano twisted himself labori­ ously out of his chair and waddled toward the door. He was purple with rage and mortification. On the thresh­ old he paused to wheeze: "Very well, then. Go I I'm done with both of you. I would have lent you a hand with this rascal Cueto, but now he will fall heir to your entire property. Well, it is a time for bandits! I--I--" Unable to think of a parting speech sufficiently bitter to match his disappointment, Don Mario plunged out into the sun­ light, muttering and stammering to himself. Within an hour the twins were on their way up the Yumuri, toward the home of Asensio and Evangelina; for it was thither that they naturally turned. It was well that they had made haste, for as they rode down Into the valley, up the other side of the hill from Matanzas came a squad of the Guardia Civil, and at. Its head rode Poach** Cueto.

Or perhaps you thought it a matter of no great Importance, an amusing thing--" "Don Mario I" Rose Interrupted. "I don't know what you are talking about." "You don't, eh?" The caller's wet cheeks grew redder; he blew like a porpoise. "Then call Esteban quickly! There Is not a moment to lose." When the brother appeared De Castano blurted out at him accusingly: "Well, sir! A fine fix you've put yourself in. Perhaps you will be interested to learn that Colonel Fernandez has issued or­ ders to arrest you and your sister as agents of the insurrectos." What?" Esteban drew back. Rosa turned white as a Illy and laid a flut­ tering hand upon her throat. You two will sleep tonight In San Severino," grimly announced the ro­ tund visitor. "You know what that means." Rosa uttered a smothered cry. "Colonel Fernandez," Don Mario proceeded, impressively, "did me this favor, knowing me to be a suitor for Rosa's hand. In spite Of his duty and the evidence he--" "Evidence? What evidence?" Bste­ ban asked sharply. For one thing, your own letter to Lopez, the rebel, warning him to be­ ware of the trap prepared for him In Santa Clara, and advising him of the government force at Sabanilla. Oh, don't try to deny It! 1 read It with my own eyes, and It means--death." Rosa said faintly: "Bsteban! I warned you.** Esteban was taken aback, but It was plain that he was not in the least frightened. "They haven't caught me yet," he laughed. "You say they Intend to arrest me also?" Rosa eyed the caller anxiously. "Exactly 1* "Who accuses her, and 0t what?" Bsteban demanded. "That also I have discovered through the courtesy* e£ Colonel Fernandez. Your accuse* Is none other than Pan­ cho Cueto." • "Cueto t* "Yes; he has denounced both of you as rebels, and the letter Is only part of his proof, I believe. Now, then, you can guess why I am here. I am not without influence; I can save Rosa, but for you, Esteban, I fear I can do noth­ ing. You must look out for yourself. Well? What do you say?" When Esteban saw how pale his sis­ ter had grown, he took her In his arms, saying gently: "I'm sorry, dear. It's all my fault." Then to the merchant: "It's very good of you to warn us." "Ha!" Don Mario fanned himself. I'm glad you appreciate my efforts. It's a good thing to have the right kind of a friend. HI marry Rosa within an hour, and I fancy my name will be a sufficient shield--"f Rosa turned to her elderly suitor and made a deep courtesy. "I am un­ worthy of the honor," said she. "You see, I--I do not love you, Don Mario." "Love!" exploded the visitor. "God bless youl What has love to do with the matter? Esteban will have to ride for his life in ten minutes and your property will be seized. So you had better make yourself ready t$ go with me." But Rosa shook herheed. /:i "Eh? What ails you?

For one thing it was bleak and cold: the north wind, hail­ ing direct from Baffin's bay, had teeth, and it bit so cruelly that he was glad when he found shelter in the building which housed the offices of the Carter Importing company. The truth Is O'Reilly was not only cold but fright­ ened. It was not the effect of his report concerning the firm's unprofitable*Cu­ ban connections which he feared- Samuel Carter could take calmly the most disturbing financial reverse--it was- the blow to his pride at learning that anybody could prefer another girl to his daughter. Johnnie shook his shoulders and stamped his feet, but the chill in his bones refused to go. ! He went to meet his employer as a man marches to execution. His heart sank further at the wel­ come he received, for the Importer gave him a veritable embrace; he pat­ ted him on the back and Inquired three times as to his health. O'Reilly was anything but cold now; he was perspir­ ing profusely, and he felt his collar growing limp. To shatter this old man's eager hopes would be like kicking a child in the face. Carter had never been so enthusiastic, so demonstra­ tive; there was something almost the­ atrical in his greeting. "Well, my boy, you made a fizzle of it, didn't you?" The tone was almost complimentary. "Yes, sir, I'm a bright and shining failure." Now, don't *yes, sir* me. We're friends, aren't we? Good! Under­ stand, I don't blame you In the least- it's that Idiotic revolution that spoiled our business. You did splendidly, un* der the circumstances." They have reason enough to re­ volt--oppression, tyranny, corruption." O'Reilly mumbled the familiar words in a numb paralysis at Mr. Carter's Jo­ vial familiarity. "All Latin countries aire Corrupt,** announced the importer--"always have been and always will be. They thrive under oppression. However, I dare say this uprising won't last long." Johnnie wondered why the old man didn't get down to cases. "It's more than an uprising, sir," he said. "The rebels have overrun the east end of the Island, <and when I left Maceo and Gomez were sweeping west." "Bah! It takes money to run a war." "They have money," desperately ar­ gued O'Reilly. "Marti raised more than a million dollars, and every Cu­ ban cigar maker in the United States gives a part of his wages every week to the cause. The best blood of Cuba Is in the fight.

However, they've wound up our affairs for the time being, and--" Mr. Carter care­ fully shifted the position of an inkwell, a calendar and a paper knife--"that brings us to a consideration of your and my affairs, doesn't it? Ahem! You remember our bargain? I was to give you a chance and you were to make good before you--er--planned any--er--matrimonial foolishness with my daughter." "Yes, sir." O'Reilly felt that the moment had come for his carefully re- hearsed speech, but, unhappily, 'he could not remember how the swan- song started. Mr. Carter, too, was un­ accountably silent. Another moment dragged past, then they chorused. "I have an unpleasant--" Each broke off at the echo of his own words. ̂ "What's, thatr tnquired the Im­ porter. V . "Mo-nothing.

We men have to take our medi­ cine." "It's quite oat of the question," stammered the unhappy O'Reilly. "Come, come! It's tough on you, I know, but--" Johnnie had a ,horrified vision of himself being dragged unwil­ lingly to the altar. "Elsa Is going to have what she wants, if I have to break something. If you'H be sensible I'll stand behind you like & father and teach you the business.

Samuel Carter stared with amaze­ ment, for the injured .victim of his daughter's fickleness had leaped to his feet and was shaking his hand vigor­ ously, meanwhile uttering unintelli­ gible sounds that seemed to signify relief, pleasure, delight--anything «*» cept what the old man expected. 1 O'Reilly, In New York, learns of Rosa's plight.

A doctor of a small town of central Missouri was Instructing a class of 80 enthusiastic young women In first- aid work. The lesson for the evening was on nerve, and he waa endeavoring to en­ lighten them as to Just what was meant by "nerve," and how It was es­ pecially necessary in the case of acci­ dents. The Instructor continued by saying a distinguished physician had said that "Nerve means you must be cool, you must be very cool, you must be cool." Just as he finished this explanation, a scream was heard outside, followed by several pistol shots. The outer door Into the basement of the town library, where the class was being held, was flung open. Two men, struggling to­ gether, their clothes drenched in blood, rolled down the steps into the room. There were moans from the writhing forms on the floor, but the class did not hear them. They had flown, not only to the outer door, but to a friend­ ly shelter across the street Nor, when the doctor went across to them, and explained that the shooting affray was only a sham one between two college boys, which he was using to illustrate his lecture, would they re­ turn. They had completely lost thelf "nerve," they explained, and their nerves were so shaken they most go home at once, and go they did. the the Things That Have Passed.

Glrard wan worth $9,000,- 000 at the time of his death. Much of this money he left to the city of Phila­ delphia for public purposes, and $2,000,000 were applied to the building of a college for orphans. This institu­ tion has supported and educated ten* of thousands of orphans and fitted them for their battles with the world. Glrard was a free thinker. One Chance.
