"Thcro Is no doubt thnt my father

iSstelmn began; "ho wns tho richest

O'Reilly shook his head dubiously
nnd brnccd his buck against n trco
jtrunk ; there wns n look of mild dlsnp
probation on his fnco as he Ilstcued o
jtho familiar story of Don Estcbnn nnd
the sinvo, Sebnstlan. When Estebnn
had finished, Norlno drew n deep
brenth.
"Oh I That Inys over nny Rtory I
over heur.d. To think thnt tho deeds

body finds It?" Norlno wns nghnst nt
tho thought.
' "Not much chance of that. Tho
trensuro hns lnln there for n gonern
'tlon, and the story Itself Is almost for
gotten." Estebnn turned triumphantly
to O'Reilly, saying, "Now, then, do you
think I'm so crazy?"
O'Reilly didn't hnve It In his heart to
nny exactly what ho renlly thought.
jWhnt ho more than half suspected wns
thnt some favored fancy had formed
lodgment In Estelmn's brnln.
"It's nn Interesting theory," ho ad
mitted. "Anyhow, there is no danger
'of tho trensuro being uncovered very
'Boon. Cueto hnd n good look and nindu
himself ridiculous. You'll hnve nmplo
Ichnnco to do likewise when tho war Is
on n looking-glass. Goodness I Dow I

O'Reilly rose with ono arm shielding
his fnco. "In tho Interest of friend

burled trensurcs, anyhow. Wo ehnll
yet come to blows."
As ho wnlkcd away ho henrd Norlne
Any: "Don't pny any nttentlon to him.
We'll go nnd dig It up ourselves, nnd
we won't wnlt until tho war Is over."
An hour Inter Estebnn nnd his nurse
still hnd their hends together. They
wcro still tnlklng of golden Ingots and
pearls from tho Caribbean tho size of
plums when they looked up to see
O'Reilly running townrd them. Ho wns
visibly excited ; ho wnved nnd shouted

"News I From Mntanznsl" ho cried.
"Gomez' mnn has arrived."
Estcbnn struggled to rise, but No
rlno restrained him. "Rosa? What

"Good news I Sho left tho Pan do
Matanzns with tho two negroes'. Sho
went Into tho city beforo Cobo's raid."
Estcbnn collapsed limply. lie closed
his eyes his face was very white. He
crossed himself weakly.
"The letter Is definite. It seems they
wen starving. They obeyed Weyler's
hando. They're In Mutnnzus now."
"Do you hear, Esteban?" Norlno
shook her patient by tho shoulder.
"She's nllve. Oh, can't you seo that It
always pays to bellcvo tho best?"
"Alive 1 Safol" Esteban whispered.
Ills eyes, when ho opened them, were
swimming; ho clutched Norlno's hnnd
tightly ; his other hnnd ho extended to
O'Reilly. "A reconcentradol In Mu

her voice caught unexpectedly and sho
turned her fuco away.
O'Reilly nodded shortly. "You're a
sick man," ho agreed. "There's no need
for both of us to go."
Estebnn looked up. "Then you"
"I leavo at once. Tho Old Man hn3

Esteban drew O'Reilly's tenso form
down and embraced his friend, after
the fashion of his people. "Sho hns

"We Varonas nro good wnlters, O'Reil

CHAPTER XVI.
Tho Trocha.
Of nil tho mllltnry measures em
ployed by tho Spnnlnrds In their wnrs
ngnlnst Cuban Independence, pcrhnps
the most unique wns tho trocha

during tho Ten Years' war built tho
first trochn Just west of the Cubltns
mountains where tho wnlst of tho
Island Is narrowest. Not until Wey
ler's time wcro tho two method) of
pacification, the trocha and tl.j concen
tration enmp, developed to their fullest
extent. Although his trochns hindered
the free movement of Cubnn troops
nnd his prison enmps declmntcd tho
peaceful populntlon of eevcrnl prov
inces, the Spanish cnuso gnlned little.
Both trenches nnd prison enmpa be
came Spanish graveyards.
At tho time Johnnie O'Reilly set out
for Mntnnzns tho wnr a wnr without
bnttle, without victory, without defent
hnd settled into a grim contest of en
durance. In the cast, whero tho Ihsur
rectos wcro prnctlcnlly supreme, there
wns food of n sort, but beyond tho Ju-cnro-Moron
trocha the old ono of
Campos' building tho country was
sick. Immediately west of It, In that
district which the Cubans cnlled Las
Villas, tho land lay dying, while tho
entire provinces of Matanzns, Hnbnna
und Pinnr del Rio were -prnctlcnlly
dend. These three wero skeletons,
picked bnro of flesh by Weyler's beak.
Tho Jucaro-Moron trochn bad been
greatly strengthened since Campos'
dny. It followed tho lino of tho trans
Insular railway. Dotted at every quar
ter of n mile nlong tho grade wero lit
tle forts connected by telephono nnd
telegraph lines. Between thoso fortl
nns were sentry stations of logs or rail
road ties. Eyes wero keen, rifles wero
ready, challenges wcro shnrp, nnd coun
tersigns wero quickly given on tho Ju-euro-Moron
trocha.
In O'Reilly's pnrty thcro wcro three
men besides himself tho cver-fnlthful
Jacket, a wrinkled old Camagueyan
who knew tho brldlo trails of his prov
Inco as a fox knows tho tracks to Its
lair, and a silent gunjlro from farther
west, detailed to accompany tho expe
dition becauso of his wide acquaintance
with tho devastated districts. Both
guides, having crossed tho trochn moro
than once, affected to scorn Us ter
rors, nnd their easy confldenco reas
sured O'Reilly In splto of Estcban's
parting admonition.
Tho American had not dreamed of
taking Jncket along, but when ho camo
to announce his departure tho boy had
flatly refused to bo left behind.
Fifty miles of hnrd riding brought
tho pnrty to tho trocha; they nenred It
on tho second morning after leaving
Cubltns, nnd sought a secluded enmp

but volunteered no report of what ho

crythlng seemed fnvorahlo for a cross
ing somo tlmo that night, ami that ho
had selected a promising point. Bo
yond thnt tho old man would sny nothing.
Supper, a slmplo meal, was quickly
disposed of. Then followed u long,
dispiriting wait, for a gibbous moon
rodo high In tho sky and tho guides
refused to stir so long as it remained
thcro. It was a still night; in tho
Jungle uo air was stirring, and dark
ness brought forth a torment of mos
quitoes. As day died tho woods nwoko
to sounds of bird nnd insect life;
strango, raucous calls pealed forth,
somo familiar, others strango and un
accustomed. Sitting thero in tho dark,
bedeviled by u pest of Insects, mocked
nt by these "mysterious voices; nnd
looking forwnrd to a hnznrdoUs enter
prise, O'Reilly began to curse his vivid
Imagination and to envy tho impas
slvencss of his companions. Even
Jncket, ho noted, endured tho strain
better; tho boy wns cheerful, philo
sophical, qui to unimpressed by his
surroundings. When tho mosquitoes
became unbearable ho put on his trou
sers, with some rcluctuncc and much
ceremony.
Midnight brought a moist, warm
breeze nnd a few formless clouds
which served nt times to dimly ob
scure the moon. Watching the clouds,
O'Reilly hoped thnt they might prbve
to be the heralds of a storm. None
came. When tho moon had finally
crept down into tho treetops old Hl
lnrlo stepped upon his cigarette, then
began silently to saddle up. The oth
ers followed with nlucrlty, and fell in
behind him as ho led the wny Into the
forest.
When they hnd covered n couple of
miles Hllnrlo reined In nnd tho others
crowded close. Ahead, dimly discern
ible ngnlnst tho night sky, thero up
penrcd to bo u thinning of tho woods.
After listening for a moment or two,
Hllnrlo dismounted nnd slipped nwny;
the three riders sat their saddles with
ears strained.
Hllnrlo returned with word thnt nil
wns well, and ench mnn dismounted to
mufllo tho feet of his horse with rngs
and strips of gunnysack provided for
the purpose. Then, ono by one, they
moved forwnrd to tho edgo of the
clenrlng. Tho trocha lny beforo them.
O'Reilly felt a pnlr of reins thrust
Into his hnnd nnd found Hllnrlo exam
ining a lnrgo pnlr of tinner's shears.
"Do you wish mo to go with you?"
he Inquired of tho guide.
Tho latter shook his head. "Antonio
will go; ho wlll-"keep' watch whllo I
clear n pnth. If anything goes wrong,
wait here. Don't ride away until we
have time "
"Never fear. I won't desert you,"
the American reassured htm.
Tho two white-clod figures slipped
nwny, became indistinct, nnd then dis
appeared. The night wns hot, tho mos
quitoes hummed dlsmnlly and settled
in clouds upon tho waiting pair, mad
dening them with their poison. A hnlf
hour pnssed, then tho two ghostly fig
ures materialized once moro.
"DIosl" grumbled Hllarlo. "Theic
nro many strings to this Spnnlsh gul
tnr. What a row when they discover
that I havo played a Cuban danzon
upon It." Tho old man seemed less
surly thnn beforo.
"Is tho way clear?" O'Reilly in
quired.
"As fnr as tho railroad, yes. Wo
henrd voices there, nnd camo bnck.
Wo will hnvo to cut our wny forwu:d
nftcr wo cross the track. Now, then,
ifollow mo without n sound."
Leading ills horso by tho bit ring,
Hllnrlo moved out into tho clenrlng,
followed onco more-by his three com
panions. In splto of nil precnutlons
tho animals mado a tremendous-racket,
or so it seemed, and, despite Hllarlo's
twisting nnd turnings, It wns Impos
sible to nvold nn occnslonnl loop of
barbed wire, therefore' flesh and cloth
ing suffered grievously. But nt length
tho pnrty brought up under the railroad
embankment nnd paused. As carefully,
ns might bo the four men ascended the
slope, crossed tho rails nnd descended
Into the ditch on tho other side. An
other moment nnd they encountered a
taut strand of barbed wire. Tho metal
lic snip of Hllarlo's shears sounded
llko n pistol shot to O'Reilly. Into tho
maze of strands they penetrated, yard
by yard, clipping and carefully laying
back tho wire ns they wont. Progress
wns slow ; they had to feel their way ;
the sharp barbs brought blood nnd
muttered profanity ut every step.
Nono of tho four ever knew what
gave tho alarm. Their first Intimation
of discovery camo with a startling
"Qulcn vlve?" hurled nt them from
somewhere at their bncks.
An Instant and tho chnllcngo wns
followed by a Mauser shot. Other ro
ports rang out us tho sentry emptied
his rlllo In their direction.
"Sol They nro shooting bats I" Hl
lnrlo grunted.
Antonio swung about nnd cocked his
Remington, but the-other spoko sharp
ly. "Fool ! If you shoot they will seo
the flro and riddle us. A curso on tho
spider thnt spun this web I"
It wns n test of courage to crouch
nmong tho charred stumps, enmeshed
In thnt cruel tnnglo of wire, whllo tho
night wns stubbed by dnggers of flro
nnd whllo tho trocha nwoko to tho
wild ulnrm. From somewhere In tho
distance camo n shouted command nnd
tho sound of running feet, suddenly
putting nn end to further Inaction. An
tonio began to hack viciously with his
machete, in an effort to aid Hllarlo's
labors. Tho sound of his Bturdy blows
betrayed tho party's whorenbouts so
clearly thnt flnnlly tho older man could
restrain himself no longer.
"Glvo it to them, compadrcsf it is
a game that wo can plnyl"
O'Reilly had been gripping his riflo
tensely, his heart in his throat, his
pulses pounding. As near a panic bb
ho had over been, bo found, oddly
enough, that tho moro act of throwing
his weapon to his Bhoulder and flrlns
it calmed him. The kick of the gun
subdued his excitement nnd cleared
his brain. Ho surprised himself by di
recting Jacket in a cool, authoritative'
voice, to Rhoot low. When he hod emp
tied tho mngazlno ho led two of tho
horses forward. Then, grasping his
own machete, he Joined in clearing a
pathway.
It seemed nn Intcrmlnnblo time cro
they hnd cxtrlcntcd themselves from
the trap, but Anally they succeeded
and gnlned the welcomo shelter of tho
woods, pnuslng Inside lis shelter to
cut tho muffles from their horses' feet.'
By this time tho defenders of tho tro;
cha were pouring volley after volley
at random into the night. i
Now thnt tho skirmish wns over,

When no ono disputed his assertion

less cry of dismay.
"What's tho matter?" Johnnlo In
quired. "Look! Behold me!" walled tho

Antonio swung a leg over his saddle,
saying: "Como along, nmlgos; wo havo
fifty leagues ahead of us. Tho war
will bo over while wo stand hero gos
siping." O'Reilly's adventures on his swift
rldo through Las Villas have no part in
this story. It Is only necessary to
Buy that they wero numerous nnd va
ried, that O'ltellly experienced excite
ment n-plerity, nnd that upon more thnu

and, in consequence, O'Reilly's party

mnnnged to kill n small pig, tho solo
Mirvlvor of some obscuro country trag

Fortunately thero wns no shortago

Into Matanzns, pushed on over rolling

empty clearings and deserted villages,
to their Journey's end. A fortunato

General Betnncourt's army enabled
them to reach hendquartors without
loss of time, and ono nftornnon, worn, I
haggard nnd hungry, they dismounted i
In front of thnt gallant ofllcer's hut.
Gcnernl Betancourt read tho letter
which O'Reilly handed him, then,
looked up with a smile.
