Her woman's intui‘ tion told her that this man did not he- lona where he was. it told her also that he had a secret and that one of her sex was deeply involved. The events of the next two weeks are of small consequence in this nar- rative. which‘deals not so much with the history and mystery of the cam- paign in the fall of ’99 as with the welfare and emotions of a single soi- dier at the front Aguinaldo and Piiar had become refugees by this time. hunted and hounded from place to} place with relentless fervor. Pilar was somewhere'in the hills with his men. the pride of the insurgent forces; Aguinaldo’s remnant had scurried of! in another direction. and General Tono‘ was on the coast with what was left of the scattered force. The net about Gregorio del Piiar was being drawn in, and tightened. The closing week in November saw him drivento the Last extremity. The trag- edyotTfladpasswasnearathand.

Reâ€"entorcements came up two days later with the word that the command- er in chief expected the‘ campaign against Pilar to end within a week and that hard fighting was ahead. The Red Cross peeple were following hard upon the heels oi the regiment, and field hoepltals were to be; established. Every man in the band of newcom- ers was singing the praises of a won- derfully beautiful Red Cross nurse.

Teresa sought shelter from the cur!- oua though admiring eyes of the trash arrivals. “I don't like these new soldiers.” she complained to Gmydon. “1 wish they had not come.

I wish I had something else to wear.” “Don’t worry, llttle'girl; you’ve worth ten nurses,” said he. wyâ€" ____ _ , “Alas, though I am dressed as a man. I do not feel as bold as one.” she la- mented. The next day re-enforcements came up. and the whole command advanced upon Tilad pass. where Pilar. at last. had been cornered. 0n the 2d of De- uuu Wv- vvâ€"_-, , cember a desperate conflict took place. Pilar was intrenched in the pass near the celebrated rock known as El Obis- my \pvowuâ€"uâ€"‘v _ p0, “the Bishop." His resistance for a time was valorous and deadly. Corpo- ral Parry saw him mount his horse he- hind the barricade 600 yards away. Parry was the best marksman in the regiment and, turning to his chief om- cer. asked if he should take a shot at hhn. He fired, and Pilar fell. face down- ward. and the Americans crushed the little hand or insurgents. Gregorio del Piiar was dead. His death in the great hills. after a most courageous battle against an overwhelming force. brought to an end a life that would have been worth much to the islands in after years. In his pockets were found val. uabie papers. letters and keepsakes. ‘The letters were from his sweetheart. Dolores Jose. who lived at Dagupan. and they were tender in the extreme. Iier lace haudkerchiei‘ rested over his heart. - ,L__.A--- --‘ When the Americans. vxcronou- mu Jubtlant. fell back to camp. they had no small number or wounded to turn over to the tender mercies of the little oom- pnny of Red Cross nurses and the our- geons. VIJ§I One of the most dangerously injured was Graydon Bausemer. He was one of the first to cross the danger line. A Mauser ball from a distant hill tore through his side, leaving an ugly, gap- ing wound that foretold certain death.

She had gone coming upon his near the last. One glance was enough. Hls face had been in her mind for months. just as she was seeing it now. She had lived in horror of finding him cold ln death. It was Teresa Velasquez who first understood. She knew that Bansemer‘s one woman had found him at last. Her heart leaped with hatred for one brief instant. then turned soft and contrite. If she had learned to care for the big American herself during the hard days when he had been so bender. she also had learned that her worship was hopeless. She had felt his yearning love for another. Now she was look- ing upon that other. While the attend- } ants were bending over their uncon- * scions companion the Spanish girl stood guard over the man who had been her guardian. the man whose life was going out before her miserable. exhausted eyes. Jane Cable stirred with returning life. Teresa was quick to see that words. not medicine.wonld act as the restorative.

The more desperately wounded were left in the village with an adequate guard. the rest or the command de- parting with Major March. A tem porary hospital was established in the convent. There were two doctors and tour or five nurses. with a dozen sol. diers under command of Lieutenant Bray. It was while the apparently dead Bansemer was being moved to the improvised hospital that Jane presented herself. distraught with fear, ‘ to the young southerner who had ‘ so plainly shown his love for her.

Bray was surprised and dis- tressed; he could not misunderstand her motive. He had gone on caring for her with- out suspectlng that there was or had been another man. She had not con- flded in him during those weary. pleas- ant months since they left San Fran- cisco behind them. To learn the true situation so suddenly and unexpected- ly stunned his sensibilities.
