Not a word of his father’s conduct toward her. not a word of blame for the blow his father had struck. She heid him to no account for the base- ness of that father.

I have learned much of men in the past few monthsâ€"and I determined it you ever asked me to mhrry you to ask a question in return. Do you real- ly know who‘I am?" He looked his surprise. “Why. the daughter of David Cable. of course.” “No; I am not his daughter." “His stepdaughter?” “Not even that. You come from a proud southern family.

From the convent Aguinaldo and his men were watching-and directing the fight on the plaza. They paid no at- tention to meâ€"a girl. The noise of the fighting men was terrible, and I climb- ed up to a window where I could see. Suddenly below me I saw two men fighting apart from the struggling mass. In an instant it flashed through my mind that the Filipino was over- powering the otherâ€"was going to kill him. Although I hated thempqnaily. there was something in the young solo dier’s face-LI could not see him mur- dered. I seized a pistol that was lying near me and fired. The Filipino tell.

The wounded men were half delirious once more for lack of proper attention and the hardships of travel. But the ill wind had spent its force. Bray's instructions were to place his charges on board ship at San Fernando de Union _and then await further orders in the little coast town. It meant goodby to Jane. and that meant more to'him than he was willing to admit despite all that she had said to him.

This rather lawless young person laid aside the hearts with which she was toying and bent her every endeavor to the cause of romance. It was not long before every young omcer in the city was more or less interested in the wei- fare of Graydon Bansemer. She threw a fine cloak of mystery about the “mil- lionalne's son" and the great devotion of her cousin. The youth of the army followed Ethel to and (tom the hospi- tal for days and days. Without Ethel it is quite'douhtful it anybody could have known what a monstrous impor- tant personage Private Bansemer real- ly Was. V At the end of a fortnight he was able to sit up and converse with hls nurse and the occasional Ethel. Dr. G.. chlet of the ward, remarked to Colonel Her- bln: HEN Jane brought Banse- mer back to Manila. ' wounded almost to death. Colonel H a r bin had her installed reg- ularly as a nurse for Bansemer, a con- cession not willingly granted. Those days were like years to her. She was thin and worn when she came down from the north, but she was haggard with anxiety and despair when the two days of suspense were ended. “My uncle lives in Manila. He will take me to Madrid. We cannot live here with these pigs of Americans about us.” she said shortly. A mo- ment later she was lost in the crowd. cause. “He’ll get well, or course. He can't help it.

They merely clasped hands. and Te- resa turned away. ' , “Ah, you are lucky. senorita! I love you. and I could hate you so easily! Go! Go! Take him with you and give him life! Forget me as I shall forget you both!” And. impulsively taking from round her neck an Agnus Dei which she was wearing, she placedit in Jane’s hands and added. “Give this to him. please, and do not forget to tell him that I sent goodby and good luck." “He was true to me.” said June. her figure straightening lnvoluntarfly. a new gleam in her eyes. “Alan“! am afraid that can never be!

He must have known it too.” “Now. can you imagine.” the girl went on. “how it has hurt me to see you caring for him. to see his eyes for- ever searchlng for you? No?” They were silent a moment. A wistful look was in her eyes now and her voice un- mistakably reconcilable When the re- sumed: “All. he was so 3004: and true when I was alone with themâ€"before you camel I pray God now that he may be well and that you may make him happy." quited love. a ”heart already tenanbed by another. and that other the woman before her.
