The hiding place is known only to Sebastian, a slave. Don Esteban's wife dies at the birth of twins, Esteban and Rosa. Don Estaban marries the avaricious Donna Isabel, who tries unsuccessfully to wring the secret ef the hidden treasure from Kebkstttirj.' J&ifeered at his reflisal, she urges Don Esteban to sell Evangellna, Sebastian's daughter. Don Esteban refuses, but in the course of a gambling orgle, he risks Evnngelina at cards and loses. Crazed by the loss of lib 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, seek9 to marry Rosa, who has returned from school in the United States. Johnnie O'Reilly, an American, who loves Bosa, wins her promise to wait for him until he can return from New York. Donna Isabel falls to death while walking in her sleep.

O'Reilly spent that evening In writ- pfcg a long letter to Rosa Varona. '^Other , letters went forward by suc- lieeding posts, and there was no doubt • If?

A bohlo, hid­ den away far up the Yumurl, and so in­ significant as to escape attention. We are no longer people of consequence or au­ thority; our safety depends upon our in- oonspicuousness. The whole country la In chaos. There la DO work--nothing but suspicion, hatred, and violence. Oh, what desolation this war has wrought! Esteban has already become a guerrillero. He has stolen a cow, and so we have milk for our coffee; but there Is only a handful of coffee left, and little hope of more. Marauding bands of Spaniards are everywhere, and the country people tell atrocious tales about them. Wow will it end? How long be­ fore they will discover us and the worst will happen? If only you were here-- Oh, my dear­ est Juan! If only you were here--to take me In your arms and banish this ever constant terror fit my heart If only you were here to tell me that you love me still In spite of my misfortune. See! The tears are falling as I write. Tou will re­ turn, will you not? I could not write like this If I were sure that you would read these lines. My nightly prayer-- But I will not tell you of my prayers, for fate may guide this letter to you, after all» and the hearts of men do change. In those dark hours when my doubts arise I try to tell myself that you will surely come and search me out When you return to Cuba--see, my faith is strong again--avoid Matanzas, for your own sake and mine. Don Mario wanted to marry me to save me thla exile. But I refused; I told him I was pledged to you, and he was furious. He is power­ ful; he would balk you, and there Is ..al­ ways room for one more In San Severino. If I could come to you, I would, but I am marked. So If you still desire me you must search me out. You will? I pin my faith to that as to the Cross. To doubt would be to perish. If we should fiave to find another hiding-place, and that is al­ ways likely, you can learn of our where­ abouts from Colonel Lopez. Alas! If you had asked me to go with you that day! I would have followed.yoH. for my heart beat then as It beatf^today^ for you alone. The candle is burning low and it will ' soon be daylight, and then this letter must ! begin Its lonp, uncertain Journey. I trust the many blots upon the paper will not Rive you a wrong Impression of my writ­ ing, for I am neat, and I write nicely; only now the ink Is poor and there Is very little of it. There Is little of anything, here at Asenslo's house, except tears. Of those I fear there are too many to please you, my Juan, for men do not like tears. Therefore I try to smile as I sign myself.

This, to be sure, was a iniraele--a unique phenomenon which tiever ceased to amaze him. He did pot dream that every man had felt the tuuse vague wonder. And so the time passed rapidly. But, :e to say, there came no answer those letters. O'Reilly cursed the i#evolutton which had made communi­ cation so uncertain; at length he teabled, but still the days dragged on flrith no result.

When O'Reilly had finished his ond reading of the letter there were fresh blots upon the pitifully untidy pages. "I write nicely, only the Ink is poor--** "There is little of anything here at Asenslo'a house--" "It Is cold before the dnwn--" ... Poor little Rosa! He had always thought of her as so proud, so high-spirited, so play­ ful, but another Rosa had written this letter. Her appeal stirred every chord of tenderness, every impulse of chivalry In his Impressionable Irish na­ ture. "O God! Come quickly, If you love me." He leaped to his feet; he dashed the tears from his eyes. Johnnie's preparations were con­ ducted with vigor and promptitude; within two hours his belongings were packed. He seized his hat and has­ tened downtown to the office of the Cu­ ban junta. A businesslike young man inquired his errand. Johnnie made known a part of it, and then asked to see some­ one in authority. In consequence, per­ haps, of his Irish smile or of that per­ suasiveness which he could render al­ most Irresistible when he willed, it was not long before he gained admittance to the presence of Mr. Bnriquez, a dis­ tinguished, scholarly Cuban of middle age. O'Reilly plunged boldly Into the heart of the matter which had brought him thither. When he hac^ flnlahod his tale Mr. Enriquez Inquired: But how do you expect me to help you?' "I want your advice more than your help, although you might tell me where I can find Colonel Lopez." Enriquez eyed his caller keenly. "That Information would be very well worth having," said he. "But, you un­ derstand, we know little about what Is going on in Cuba--far less than the Si^uilnrds themselves. I'm afraid I can't help you." "You don't take me for a apy, do you?" Johnnie asked, with his friendly grin. "Ah I You don't look like one, but we never know whom to trust. Thla young lady in whom you are inter­ ested, who Is she?" "Her name is Varona; Mif* Varona." "So?" Enriquez raised his brows. "Not by any chance the heiress to that famous Varona treasure?" "Exactly!--if there is such a thing. Here! Read this. I want you to be­ lieve me." Reverently he laid Rosa's letter befbre her countryman. "I'm not in the habM of showing my letters to strangers, Iu\t--I guess that'll eon- viace £01J oo%« He sat silently while the letter was being read; nor was he disappointed' in the result. Mr. Enriquez raised dark, compassionate eyes to his, saying: "This is a touching letter, sir. I thank you for allowing me to see it No, I don't doubt you now. Poor Cuba! Her sons must be brave, her daughters patient." "Well! You understand why I must go quickly, and why I can't chance de­ lay tgr: going either to Matanzas or to Havana. I want to land somewhere farther east, and I want you to help me to find Colonel Lopez." Mr. Enriquez frowned thoughtfully. "What I just told you Is literally true," he said at last., iPe work in the dark up here, and we don't know the where­ abouts of our troops. But--I have a thought." He excused himself and left the room. When he returned he ex­ plained : "I dont have to tell you that we are watched all the time, and that for us to assist you openly would be liable to defeat your purpose. But I have juat telephoned to a man I can trust, and I have told him your story. He has relatives in Cuba and he agrees to help you If he can. His name Is Alvarado." Writing an address upon a card, he handed It to O'Reilly. "Go to htm, tell him what you have told me, and do as he directs. Another thing, don't return here unless it is neces­ sary ; otherwise when you land in Cuba you may have cause to regret it." Doctor Alvarado, a high type of the Cuban professional man, was expect­ ing O'Reilly. He listened patiently to his caller's somewhat breathless re­ cital. "You do well to avoid the cities where you are known," he agreed. "But Just how to reach the insurrectos--" "If you'd merely give me a letter saying I'm a friend--" The doctor promptly negatived this suggestion. "Surely you don't think It can be done as easily as that?" he in­ quired.- "In the first place, wherever you land, you will be watched and probably searched. Such a letter, If discovered, would not only end your chances, but It would bring certain dis­ aster upon those to whom it was writ­ ten. My two brothers, Tomaa and Ig- nacio, reside in Cnba, and we all work for the cause of independence In our own ways. I am fortunately situated, but they are surrounded by dangers, and I must ask you to be extremely careful in communicating with them, for I am placing their lives in your hands and--I love them dearly." |' "I shall do exactly as you say." ; "Very well, then! Go to Neuvltas, where Tomas lives--there Is a steamer leaving in three or four days, and you can arrange passage on her. He is a dentist Meet him, somehow, and make yourself know by repeating this sentence: *1 come from Felipe. He told me how you whipped him to keep him from going to the Ten Years' war!' That will be enough; he will ask you who you are and what you want. You won't need tq say anything more. No living soul, except Tomas and I, knows that he thrashed me, but It Is true. He will understand from the message that I trust you, and he will help you to reach the rebels, if such a thing is possible. Come and see me when you get back, and bring me news of Tomaa, Now, adlos, compadre." "Adloa, senorl I am deeply grate­ ful!" O'Reilly had no difficulty In securing passage direct to Neuvltas on the Eng­ lish steamer Dunham Castle, and a few days later he saw the Atlantic high­ lands dissolve Into the mists of a win­ ter afternoon as the ship headed out­ ward into a nasty running sea. Cuba, when It caraje fairly Into sight, lay bathed In golden sunshine, all wanath . and welcome, llfce a bride Was anything but European, except perhaps, in its proprietor's extravagant and un-American desire to please, at any cost. But it was the beat hotel the place afforded, and Senor Carbajal was the most attentive of hosts. He evinced an unusual interest In the affairs of his American gueet, and soon developed a habit of popping into the latter's room at unexpected mo­ ments, ostensibly to see that all was as It should be. When, for the third time, he appeared without knocking, O'Reilly suspected something. "You have everything, eh?" Mr. Car­ bajal teetered upon the balls of his feet while his small black eyep roved Inquisitively. "Everything in abundance.* "You are * ple&sure travelert You see the sights,. Is that ttT Well, Cuba Is beautiful.'* Tm not a tourist I travel for my health," said O'Reilly. "You-- Health--!" Carbajal's frame began to heave; his bulging ab­ domen oscillated as If shaken by some hidden hand. "Good! Hal There's another joke for you." "I'm a sick man," O'Reilly insisted, hollowly, "You dont look stck," mumbled Car­ bajal. "Not like the other American." "What other American?" "• peculiar fellow. He went on to Puerto Principe. What a cough! And he was as thin as a wire. He bled at the mouth, too, all the time, when he was not reviling my hotel. Youll see him If you go there, provided he hasn't come apart with his' coughing. I be­ lieve he writes for newspapers. Well, It Is my pleasure to serve you.. Com­ mand me at any hour." Mr. Carbajal rose reluctantly and went wheezing downstairs to his mlmx. and +ho CHAPTER Vlfi (l ^biin MI Ha 8at Sffently While the Letter Waa Being Read* upon an azure couch. The moist breath from her fragrant shores swept over the tteamer's decks and Johnnie O'Reilly sniffed it joyfully. Although there were but a fee* pas­ sengers on the Dunham Castle, they were subjected to a long delay, during which suspicious customs men searched their baggage and questioned them. Finally, however, O'Reilly found him­ self free to go ashore. El Orfen Hotel Europea, Neuiitas' leading hostelry, belied its name. It , lACS* aad certaialjr it » - ^ Man Who Would Know Ltfau Later that day O'Reilly set out to reponnoiter the city of Neuvltas. He was followed, of course--he had ex-' pected as much, and the circumstances amused rather than alarmed him. But when he returned to his hotel and found that his room had been visited during his absence he felt a hint of uneasiness. Evidently, as Doctor Al­ varado had forecast, the authorities were Interested in him; and he had further evidence of the fact when he learned that the room next him was occupied by the very man who had shadowed him on the streets Inasmuch as the intervening wall was no more than a thin partition, through which his very breathing could be heard, while his every movement could doubt­ less be spied upon, O'Reilly saw the need of caution. During breakfast, and afterward throughout an aimless morning stroll, O'Reilly felt watchful eyes upon him. When he returned to his hotel he found Mr. Carbajal in the cafe con­ cocting refrescos for some military offi­ cers, who scanned the American with bold, hostile glances. O'Reilly com­ plained to the proprietor of a tooth­ ache. He declared that something had to be done at once, and Inquired the name and address of the best local dentist. Mr. Carbajal named several, among them Dr. Tomas Alvarado, whereupon his guest hurried away, followed at a respectful distance by the secret agent. Finding Doctor Alvarado's office was closed, as he had anticipated, O'Reilly proceeded to the doctor's residence. There waa some delay when he rang the bell, but eventually the dentist himself appeared. O'Reilly recognized him from his resemblance to his brother. He addressed him In English. "I come from Felipe," he began. "He well remembers the day you whipped him to keep him from going to the Ten Years' war." The languor of Doctor Alvarado's siesta vanished. Be started/ his eyes widened. "Who are you?" he muttered. "My name is O'Reilly. I am an Amer­ ican, a friend, so don't be alarmed. The man you see approaching la fol­ lowing me, but he thinks I have come to you with a toothache." "What do you want?" "I want your help in joining the In; surrectos." By this time the detective had come within earshot. Making* an effort at self-possession, the dentist said: "Very welL I will meet you at my office in a half-hour and see what can be done." Then he bowed. O'Reilly raised his hat and turned away. Doctor Alvarade'a dentist's chair faced a full-length window, one of sev­ eral which, after the Cuban fashion, opened directly upon the sidewalk, ren­ dering both the waiting room and the office almost as public as the" street itself. Every one of these windows was wide open when Johnnie arrived; but It seemed that the dentist knew what he was about, for when his pa­ tient had taken his seat and he had begun an examination of the trouble­ some tooth, he said, under his breath: "I, too, am watcljpd. Talk to me in English. When I press, thus, upon your gum, you will know that someone is passing. Now, then, what la the meaning of your amazing message from Felipe?" While Doctor Alvarado pretended to treat a perfectly sound molar, Johnnie managed, despite frequent Interrup­ tions, to make known the reason and circumstances of his presence. "But there are no rebela around here," Alvarado told him. "You could escape to the country, perhaps, but what then? Where would" you go? How would they know who you eref "That's what I want to find out." - The Cubaa pondered. /'Xa^'U have to go to Puerto Prtn<#pe," he said at length. "Our men ar# opeitotlng la that neighborhood, nacio will know how to:|rea<^i them. I'll give you a mwmt&WWMmmia. to the one you bron^^-grain ye- lipe." Then he smiled. *Tve Just thought of the very l^Sag. Years ago I lent him a book which I particularly prized, and one of his ifitldren dam­ aged it I was furious. I declared I would never lend him another, and I never have. Now, then, I'll give you that very volume; hand It to him and say that I asked yon to return it to him." O'Reilly thanked him, promising to use every precaution In delivering the message. The next morning he paid Carbajal's score and took the train to the interior. In his bag was Tomas Alvarado's precious volume, and In the same coach with him rode the secret service man. * In its general features Puerto Prin­ cipe differed little from the other Cu­ ban cities O'Reilly knew. It was com- mm* "Your Name la--?" pactly built, It was very old jm4 tt looked Its centuries. Its streets were particularly narrow and crooked, hav­ ing been purposely laid out in laby­ rinthine mazes, so the story goes, in order to fool the pirates. As he sat in a cafe, sipping an or­ angeade, he heard someone speaking an atrocious Spanish, and looked up to see that another American had en­ tered. The stranger was a tall, fune­ real young man, with pallid cheeks and hollow, burning eyes. O'Reilly stepped over to the table and Introduced him­ self. "The hotel keeper In Neuvltas told me Td find you here," he said. "Your name is--" "Branch; Leslie Branch. So Carba­ jal said you'd find me here, eh? Oh, the greasy little liar. He didn't bellevd It. He thought his cooking would have killed me, long ago, and it nearly did." This time Mr. Branch's bony frame underwent a genuine shudder and his face was convulseA - with loathing. "Carbajal's in the secret service. Nice fat iittle spy." ^ "So I suspected.** Mr. Branch's beverage appeared at this moment. With a flourish the waiter placed a small glass and a bottle of dark liquid before htm. Branch stared at it, then rolled • fiercely smoldering eye upward. "What's that?" be Inquired.
