Norlne rone, licr fncc nglow with
,rw strength, new determination. "I
brought you back when you were nil
but gone. I saved you after tlio others
and given you up, and now you nro
mine to do with as I please. You be
long to me and I sha'n't consult you."
Sho turned, for a figure had dark'
encd the door; It was one of her Eng
jisn-spcnKing convalescents who was
acting as a sort of orderly.

It Is that American, El Detnonl
"Is he sick or wounded?" Esteban
Inquired.
"Shot by n Spanish bullet. Ho asked
at onco for our senorlta."
"Of course. I'll cotno In an Instant."
When the messenger had gone Norlnc
fcent and pressed her Hps to Estehnn's.
"Remember, you're mine to do with ns
please," she oald ; then sho fled down
tho grot' street
Branch was waiting at Norlne's
quartern; a soiled figure of dejection.
HIb left arm lay In a sling across his
breast, tie looked up at her approach,
fat sho scarcely recognized him, so
neatly changed wob he.
"Hello, Norlnc!" he cried. "Well,
they got me."
Norlno paused in astonishment.
"Why, Lcsllol I was so frightened I
But you can't bo badly hurt."
"Bad enough so that Lopez sent mo
.In. A fellow gets flyblown If ho stays
In the field, so I beat It."
"Has your arm been dressed?"
"No. I wouldn't let these rough-and-tumblo
doctors touch It. They'd ampu
tate at thtj shoulder for a hangnail. I
don't trust 'cm."
Then I'll look at It"
"It doesn't hurt really," ho declared.
"It's only n Bcrntch."
"Then bchavo yourself." Norlno
(forced the patient Into a chair and
withdrew his arm from tho. sling,
frsen, dcsplto his weak resistance, sho
ifleftly removed tho bandage. From
Ibis expression sho felt sure that sho
iraust bo hurting him, but when tho
injury was exposed sho looked up in
wonderment
"Lcsllol" sho exclaimed. "What In
'too world"
Branch struggled with himself, ho
wallowed hard, then said: "You can
oco now why I didn't go to a doctor; I
itfld it shot myself. You won't givo
we away?"
Norlno seated herself weakly; she
fctnred in 'bewilderment nt tho unhnppy
peakcr. "Afraid? You, El Dcmonlol
'Why, you aren't afraid of anything I"
"Say I You don't believe nil that
stuff, do you? I'm afrnld of my shadow
and always have been. I'm not bravo
and never wns. They told mo I was
jtolng to die nnd It scared mo so that
I tried to end things quickly. I
touldn't bear to dlo slowly, to know
that I was dying by inches. But, Lord I
It scared mo oven worse to go into
battle. I was blind with fright all tho
time nnd I never got over It. Why,
tho sight of a gun gives mo n chill, ami
I Jump every time one goes off. Lord 1
how I've suffered I I went crnzy nt our
arst engagement crazy with fear. I
didn't know whero I wns, or what hap
pened, or anything. Afterward, when
thoy hailed mo as a hero, I thought
they wore kidding, tlmt everybody
must know how frightened I wob.
After a tlmo I saw that I'd fooled them,
and that shamed mo. Then I had to
keep it up or become ridiculous. But
it nearly killed me."
I It so happened that the president
nnd well-nigh the entire provisional
cabinet were in Cubltas. Lesllo nnd
Norlno went directly to tho former. Ho
promptly sent for tho minister of Jus,
Mco, who In turn gnllantly put himself
t Norlncfa disposal. In no tlmo tho
own had spread and thoro was sub.
ucd euwStcraent throughout tho camp.
Norlne. WW Wrwecn tears and laughter
when sho ron panting into Esteban's
cabin, leaving Branch to wait outside.
' At sight of her Esteban uttered a
low cry of happiness. "Dearest I I'vo
occn lying in a stupor of delight Tho
world has bocomo bright I hear pco
plo laughing. What a chango 1"
'Tvo arranged everything I Tho pres
ident and his cabinet aro coming to
witness the ceremony."
Esteban poised upon his elbow, his
face was a study. "What have you ar
ranged?" ho munaged to Inquire.
"Sh-ht" Norlno lnld a finger upon
ats Hps. "The guest of the republic Is
bo married today."
".Norlno t Oh, my dear" qunvered
tho Blck man. "I can't let you do this
ad thing. Think I I'm ready for tho
grave "
"This will make you well. Wo're eo
rag away when tho very next cxpedl
kn arrives."
"I haven't tho strength to rcfuso,"
Bsteban murmured. "And yot, how
can I lenvo Cuba? What right have I
to accept happiness and leuve Roan"
LMh wbb u subject which Norlno
dreaded, n question to which sho know
no answer. Sho wns not in n mood to
discuss it, and mado no attempt to do
so, Instead, sho laid tho Invalid upon
his pmow, saying:

Sho stepped to the door, only to be
hold her Intc companion making off
down the village street In great haste
nnd evident excitement Approaching
between the drunken rows of grass
huts was n little knot of people. Even
ns Norlno watched It grew Into a con
smornmo crowd, for men and women
and children cume hurrying from their
tasks. There were thrco figures In tho
lead, n mnn and two boys, and they
walked slowly, ploddingly, as If weary
from a long march.
"Esteban 1" Norlnc cried In n volco
she scnrcely recognized. She retrented
Into the doorway with one hand upon
her leaping henrt. "Esteban I LooRI
They're coming hero 1 Yes I It's It's
O'Reilly I"
Young Varona struggled from his
hammock. "Rosa!" he called, loudly,
"Rosa 1"
There camo a shadow, then In tho
doorway tho figure of a man, a tattered
scarecrow of u man whoso feet wero
bare and whoso brown calves wero ex
posed through Happing rags. His breast
was naked where thorns had tried to
stay him; his beard, even his hair,
wero matted and unkempt, nnd tho
mud of many trails lay caked upon his
garments.
It was O'Reilly !
Dumb with umazemcnt, blind with
tears, Norlno found herself staring up
ward Into his face, and heard him say
ing:
"I told you I would bring her home."
The next Instant sho lay upon his
breast and sobs of Joy were tearing at
her.
Tho story of Rosa's rescue camo
slowly and In frngmonts, for tho news
of O'Reilly's return caused n sensu
tlon. Ills recital was Interrupted many
times. "As a matter of fact, our get
nwuy was ridiculously easy," he said,
"for wo had luck at every turn regu
lar Irish luck. I mado Morln Inde
pendent for life, but It wasn't tho
money, it wns Jacket who Induced him

to bring us clear to Turlgunno. He
lnndcd us ono night, this sldo of tho
Moron trochn. Since then we've waded
swamns to our armpits, wo'vo fought
tho Junglo and chowed bark but we're
here." Johnnlo heaved n deep Blgh of
relief.
"Whero did you get tho monov to
hlro schooners and corruut contains?"
Branch Inquired.
O'Reilly hesitated: he lowered his
volco to a whUper. "Wo found tho
Varona treasure."
Norlno uttered a cry. "Not Don Es.
tcban's treasure?"
"Exactly. It was in tho well whero
young Esteban told us It wns."
Johnnie produced from his pocket a
handful of coins.
Branch's eyes bulgpd, ho touched' a
gold piece respectfully, weighed it care
fully, then pressed It to his lips. Ho
rubbed It against his checks and In his
hair; ho placed It between his teeth
and bit it.
"It's renll" he cried. "Now let mo
look at tho Jewels."
"Rosa has them, She's wearing them
on her back. Hunched backs nro lucky,
you know ; hers U worth a fortune."
"Why, this bents tho 'Arabian
Nights 1' " Norlno gasped.
"It bents" Branch paused, then
wagged his head wurnlugly at tho girl.
"I don't bollovo a word of It and you
mustn't"
Then Johnnlo told tho Btory. When
ho had finished thero was a long mo
ment of silence. Then Norlno qua
vered tremulously: "That boy 1 That
messed uoyr
its nil too weirdly Improbable,"

him now. I'm afraid he'll tip off tho
news about that treasure In spite of nil
my warnings. Those Jewels are a
temptation; I won't rest easy until
they're safely locked up In some good
vault. Now then, I've told you every
thing, but I'm dying for news. Tell mo
about yourselves, about Esteban. I ex
pected to find him well. What alls
him?"
"Oh, Johnnie I" Norlne begnn. "He's
very 111. He isn't getting well. Help
me, Johnnie 1 Help me to get him
home "
"Of course I will. We'll tnkc him
and Rosa away where they can forget
Cuba and all tho misery It has caused
them. We'll make him well don't
worry."
O'Reilly saw little of his sweetheart
that day, for Norlnc promptly bore the
girl off to her own quarters nnd thero
attended to her needs, the mpst press
ing of which was clothing.
Wlille O'Reilly wns similarly en
gaged In mnklng himself presentable,
ho nnd Branch talked earnestly, with
tho result that they repaired later to
General Gomez. O'Reilly concluded by
saying:
"I've done what I enme to do, sir, but
Miss Vnronn Is badly shaken by nil sho
has been through. She's very nervous
nnd far from well. Esteban, too, iBn't
recovering."
General Gomez nodded. "Miss Evans
declares ho must have a change, and
we havo arranged to send him out of
tho country. His sister, poor child,
should go, too."
"They should go nt once," O'Reilly
Bald, positively. "That's why we camo
to see you. Let us Branch and me
take nil threo of them to the United
Stntes."
"But how? How can you take two
women and a sick man "
"We'll manage somehow," O'Reilly
declared. "It Isn't far across to tho
Bahama Banks. I'll agree to como
back If you so desire."
Gomez shook his white head. "No 1
You camo to And nnd save your fiancee,
and you volunteered to serve with us
whllo you were doing so. We have no
desire to keep any mnn against his will.
Somo one must ejscort Miss Evans, who
in our guest. Why not you two?
'I was looking forward to an Inter
esting ceremony this afternoon," Go
mez went on. "nas your arrival
changed the plans?"
"Oh no, sir!" O'Reilly said, quickly.
"I'd like to mako It doubly interesting,
If Miss Varona will consent to such
short notice."
"Bravo I You havo a way of dolnrr
tho unexpected. Why not? I don't
think Miss Varona will hnvo it In her
heart to refuse you anything."
Tho old soldier wns right. Rosa did
not gainsay her lover, and toward sun
down tho city among tho leaves wit
nessed an unaccustomed scene.
Rosn, very dainty In her borrowed
nurse's uniform, was round-eyed,
timid; she evoked much ndmlratlon,
but when sho wns nddresscd ns Scnora
O'Reilly sho blushed to tho roots of
her hair and shrank closo to her hus
band's side. Branch proved to bo a
happy choice as Esteban's proxy, for
ho relieved Norlno's anxiety nnd smoth
ered her apprehensions.
When Rosa and O'Reilly returned to
Estebnn's cabin they found Norlno
abend of them. Sho wns kneeling be
side tho sick man's hammock, and
through tho doorway enmo tho low, In
timate murmur of their voices. Rosa
drew her husband away, whispering,
happily :
"Ho will get well. God and that won
derful girt won't Jet him die."
CHAPTER XXII.
Tho Rainbow's End.
Tho Journey to tho const was mado
by easy stages and Esteban stood It
fairly well. Jacket of course, went
nlong. Upon tho announcement of
O'Reilly's Antendcd departure for tho
States ho had promptly abandoned
Cuba to her fate, no foresworo her
utterly and declared himself a loyal
American citizen.
neiying upon tho best information
obtalnnblo at Cubltas, O'Reilly had
counted upon securing a sailboat from
a certain fisherman whoso sympathies
wero known to be loyal, but In this ho
was disappointed. The party arrived
at Its destination, n tiny clearing on.
nn unfrequented part of tho north
shore, only to find It deserted nnd al
ready grown to weeds. Tho house was
empty, tho boats wero gone all but
ono old hulk, too rotten to warrant
moving, which lay high up on tho sund,
its planks worm-eaten, Its Beams wldo
sprend by tho sun.
O'Reilly wns In n quandary. H0
gravely doubted Esteban's ability to
stand tho rough return Journoy, and
when ho spoko to Norlno of turning
back sho wns panic-stricken nt the sug
gestlon. "No, no 1" sho cried, anxiously. "Wo
must get him nwny. His heart Is set on
going through nnd It would kill him
to go back."
"Then I guess we'll hnvo to go
through," ho smiled.
For the first tlmo In their acquaint
nnco Norlno lost control of hersolf.
"Promlso thnt you won't go back"
sho Implored him. '
"Very well, If you'll consent to risk

Spoilers' "Heart of the Sunset," Etc.
this miserable tub we found on tho
beach "
"I'll risk nnythlng n raft, even. Is
there nn even chance of our cettlnir
across?1'
"Perhaps,
wenther."
It all depends upon the
When morning came O'Reilly mado a
closer examination of the abandoned
boat The result was not encouraging,
but ho determined to make use of It,
nnd the crazy craft was launched. It
was necessary to handle her gingerly,
nnd when she took the water she leak
ed abomlnnbly. But during the night
she swelled nnd In the morning It wns
possible to ball her out.
From the point of lcnvlng It wns per
haps five miles ncross the sound to tho
fringe of keys which In this neighbor
hood bordered tho old Bnhnraa chan
nel with Its unplumbed depths of blue
water. Here It was calm, so the run
was soon made.
When tho constllno of Cubn had be
come a blur astern Rosa crept back
and seated herself beside her husband,
"now much I love you," she whispered.
"But I never cun tell you, for we are
never alone. Wns thero ever such a
courtship, Buch n marriage, and such a
wedding Journey ns ours?"
It proved to bo a long, long night, for
the bont, though roomy, was uncom
fortable. Daylight brought an In
creased breeze which heeled the bont
further. Fortunately tho haze was not
thick enough to wholly obscure the sun
and so O'Reilly was enabled to hold his
course. But he did not like the look
of things. In time there came a snlte-
ful drlzzlo which completely hid the
sun nnd left no Indication of the course
except tho direction whence drove tho
rein.
No ono spoke now. Even Esteban lay
silent, shivering miserably upon his
sodden bed. Rosa flnnlly straightened
her aching back and rfmlled.nt her hus
band. "Are wo going down?" she nsked.
"Oh no 1 This is merely a squnll," ho
told her, with nn assumption of confi
dence ho wns far from feeling.
Deliverance camo suddenly, and from
tho lenst-expected quarter. Out of tho
mist to starboard there materialized a
shape, u schooner driving ahead of the
wind. Tho refugees descried her simul
taneously and stood nnkle deep In tho
wash, waving their hats and their cala
bashes, nnd shouting crnzlly until she
saw them and fetched up.
There was a babble of voices, shout
ed questions, hysterical answers. Rosn
was weeping softly ; Norlno had lifted
Esteban nnd now, clutched him tight
whllo her tenrs fell upon his face.
The schooner was a sponger bound
for Nassuu; Its blackbird crow spoko
English nnd they willingly helped tho
strangers overside, laughing and shout
ing in a childlike display of excitement
Soon thero was hot food nnd coffee,
dry beds nnd blnnkets for those who
needed them.
Johnnie tucked his bride snugly Into
one of tho hard berths, then stooped
nnd kissed her. Rosa's teeth were
chattering, but she smiled happily.
"God's hand directed us," she said.

"Thinks he's tho Little Corporal,
eh?" tho visitor asked of tho guide.
"Yes; he's had that hallucination
for flvo years."
Across tho corridor In another cell
was an old man poring over n num
ber of blue prints.
"What's tho matter with him?"
"Poor chap," laughed tho guide; "ho
thinks that ho has Invented a submarine-proof
ship. The hull of the ship
Is honeycombed with holes; when tho
war-head of tho torpedo strikes, It
goes Into one of tho holes nnd Is held
fast by its sides."
"But," objected tho visitor, "suppose
tho torpedo strikes between tho
holes?"
"In that case," said the guide as ho
shook with laughter, "It wouldn't
count nnd the submarine would be en
titled to another try."
In tho last cell was a middle-aged
man at a high desk, no looked up as
tho others approached and nodded
smilingly.
"Whnt's tho matter with him?"
queried tho visitor.
"Illiii? no's hopeless; ho belloves

Up from tho beach came O'Reilly and
nis youtnrui niter ego, Jacket They
were ciau in clean white clothes; a
month of rest had done them good.
Jacket was no longer wizened: he wns
plump nnd sleek and as full of mischief
as a colt, while O'Reilly's lennnonn
had disappeared and he failed his gar
ments as a man should.
They turned In through n picket gate
and up a walk. At the end stood a cot
tage with wide porches hidden beneath
Jasmine and honeysuckle and morning-
giory vines.

heavy string of fish. "We had stu

O'Reilly had eyes for anything but
each other.
Kosa had vastly changed. Sho wns

there were dimples In her cheeks, she
wore n heavy Mnrechal Nell bud at her
breast O'Reilly held her off und de-
voured her with his eyes.
"Sweetheart, you grow fresher and
more oeauuiui every hour," said he.
Kosa danced upon her toes, nnd
tugged at him. "But como quickly and
see the surprise we have. I've been

Norlne agreed : "I'm sure of It. And
then we'll nil go back to our rain

Esteban turned adoring eyes upon
the speaker; he took her hand In his.
"I've found my rainbow's end," said
he.
"And I've found mine," O'Reilly as
serted. "I've gained your father's treas
ure, and more I've found the prize of
nil the Indies." With his arm about
Rosa he drew her Into the house.
Esteban lowered himself Into his
chair and Norlne rested herself upon
Its arm. He lay back with eyes closed.
From the regions at the rear came tho
voice of Jacket The boy was In a
declamatory mood. Ho had gathered
an audience, as was his dally custom,
and was addressing them In English :

(THE END.)
The French Tricolor.
The Tricolor, the French national
standard of blue, white and red, di
vided vertically, orlglnntcd during tho
first French revolution. In 1789 the
lenf plucked by Camllle Desmoullns
In the garden of the Palais Royal be
came a rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the nntlonnl color;
but, remembering that green was tho
color of the hated Prince d'Artols, they
rejected It on the following dny.
They at first choso, instead, blue and
red, the colors of the city of Paris,
and Inter added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after tnklng of the Bastlle,
Ballly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as a
badge of reconciliation with tho king.
Thus the Tricolor orlglnntcd ns tho
symbol of the liberty of the French
nation, nnd It continued ns such even
when afterward the "reconciliation"
with the king ended with his decapita
tion. This Swindler Up to Date.
Thought rending was tho method
claimed to hnvo been employed by a
man In Bengal, India, to win large
sums of money on the race course. It
turned out to bo n very ingenious form
of swindle. Finding n mnn who Is In
terested In racing, the conlldenco mnn
produces n roll of money, nnd states
that ho won this by his fore-knowl-edgo
of tho winners on the track. Ho
then suggests that his friend test his
knowledge. He Induces his victim to
hand him sums of money to bo placed
on the horses, nnd then vnnlshes. In
vestigation has proved that this Ben
gall had swindled a number of peo
ple of inrgo sums of money In this
way..
