CHAPTER III Continued.
"Condi" Don Mario rose to lenve,
for tbo exertion of bis ride bad made
him thirsty. "You may name your own
reward for helping mo and I will pay
It tho day Itosa marries me. Now kind
ly advise her of my Intentions nnd tell
bcr I shall come to see her soon."
It wns quite true that Johhnle
.O'ltellly or "Tho O'ltellly," as his
friends cnlled him had llttlo In the
;wny of worldly udvantage to offer any
girl, and It wus precisely because of
(this fnct tlint bo had uccepted n posi
tion here In Cubu, where, from tbo very
nature of things, promotion wus likely
to bo more rapid than In tbo Now York

A donclnc eyo snenks every Inn-

Ho discovered, for example, that Ma

way place he bad considered It; on tho
'contrary, after meeting Uosa once by
accident, twlco by design, und three
.times by mutual nrrnngement, It had
.dawned upon him that this was tho
chief city of Cuba, If not, perhaps, the
hub around which tho whole world re

not at nil pleased with" himself, for, ns
It happened, there was another girl
bnck homo, and during bis first year
of loneliness be had written to her
inoro freely and more frequently than
,uny man on such u salary as his bad a
right to do.
Inasmuch as her father was O'ltell
ly's "company" It muy bo seen that
iltosa Varona's home-coming seriously
complicated matters, not only from a
Bcntlmuittvi, but from u business stnnd-Ipolnt.
It was in n thoughtful mood that ho
rode up La Cumbro toward tbo Qulnta
do Estebun, lute on tho afternoon of
Dnn Mario's visit. Instead of going di
rectly to tho house, as tbo merchant
ihad done, O'ltellly turned off from tbo
Iroad and, after tethering his horse In
in cluster of guuva bushes, proceeded
on foot. He did not like Donna Isabel,
.nor did Donna Isubel Uko him. More
lover, bo 'had u particular rensou for
avoiding her today. ,
Just Insldo the Vnronn premises ho
jpuused an Instant to admlro the out
look. The qulnta coimnuudcd un excel
lent view of the Yumurl, on the one
band, and of the town Hnd harbor on
the other; no one ever climbed the bill
from (ho city to gaze over Into thnt
bidden valley without feeling a pleas
urable surprise at finding It still there.
We aro accustomed to think of perfect
beauty us unsubstantial, evanescent;
but tho Yumurl never changed, nnd In
that lay Its supremest wonder.
Through what bad once been well
tended grounds, O'ltellly made his way
to a sort of sunken garden which, In
spite of neglect, still remained the
most charming nook upon tho place;
and there bo sat down to wait for Itosa.
The hollow was effectually screened
from view by a growth of plantain,
palm, orange, and tamarind trees; over
the rocky walls ran a profusion of
(lowering plants and vines; in the cen
ter of the open space was an old well,
Its masonry curb nil but crumbled
away.
When Hosn at last appeared, O'ltcllly
felt called upon to tell her, somewhat
dizzily, that she was beyond doubt, the
sweetest (lower on all the Qulnta de
Esteban, and since this somewhat hack
neyed remark was tho boldest speech
he bad ever mado to her, she blushed
prettily, Hashing him n dimpled smile
of mingled plcnsuro and surprise.
"Ob, but I assure you I'm In no
sweet temper," snld she. "Just now I'm
tremendously angry."
"Why?"
"It's that stepmother Isabel. If sbo
dreamed that I see you as often as I
do Well" Rosa lifted her elo
quent bands and eyes heavenward. "I
supposo (bat's why I enjoy doing It I
so dearly lovu to splto her."
"I see!" O'ltellly puckered bis
brows und nodded. "Hut why, In that
case, haven't you seen mo oftcner? Wo
might Just as well have mado tho
good lady's life totally unbearable."
"Silly She knows nothing about
It." With a lllrtatlous sigh Rosa add
ed : "That's what robs tho affair of Its
chief pleasure. Since It does not bother
her In tho least, I think I will not al
low you to como any more."
After Judicious consideration, O 'Noil
ly pretended to agree.
"There's no fun In wreaking n hor
rible revenge, when your enemy Isn't
wise to It," ho acknowledged. "Since
It's your Idea to Irritate your stepmoth
or, perhaps It would annoy her If I
made love directly to her."
Itosa tittered, und then Inquired,
naively, "Can you make love, senor?"
"Can I? It's tho one ability un
O'ltellly inherits. Listen to this now."
Reaching forth, lie took Rosa's fingers
In his : "Walt I" ho cried as she resist
ed. "Pretend that you're Mrs. Vnronn,
your own stepmother, and that this Is
her dimpled hand I'm holding."
"Oh-hl" The girl allowed bis grasp
to remain. "Rut Isabel's bund Isn't
dimpled: It's thin and bony. I've felt
It on my ears often enough."
"Don't Interrupt," he told her. "Isa
bel, my llttlo darling"
') 'Isabel' I" exclaimed a voice, nnd
the lovers started guiltily apart. They
turned to Hud Esteban. Rosa's twin
brother, staring at them oddly. "Isa
bel?" he repeated. "What's this?"
"You Interrupted our theatricals. I
was rehearsing an Impassioned pro
posal to youV beloved stepmother,"
O'Reilly explained, with n pretense of
annoyance.
"Yes, Senor O'Reilly believes bo can
Infuriate Isabel by laying siege ,to her.
He's a foolish person " Rosa's
cheeks were faintly (lushed and her
color deepened at the amusement In
Estetmn's eyes, "lie makes love
wretchedly."
"What little I overheard wasn't bad,"
,Esteban declared; then he took
O'Reilly's band.
Esteban was n handsome boy,
straight, slim and manly, nnd his re-
semblunce to Rosa was startling.
With a look engaging in Its frank di
rectness, he said : "Rosa told me about
your meetings here and I camo to
apologize for our stepmother's discour
tesy. I'm sorry we can't Invito you
Into our house, but you understand?
Rosa and I aro not like her; wo aro
quite liberal In our views; we nre al
most Americans, ns you see. I daro
Say that's what makes Isabel hate
Americans so bitterly."
"Wouldn't It plcaso her to know thn,t
I'm becoming Cubanlzcd us fust as
ever I can?" ventured tho caller.
"Oh, she hates Cubans, too I" laughed
tho brother. "She's Spanish, you know.
Well, It's fortunnto you didn't see her
today. Br-rl Whut a temper I Sho'U
Rosa nodded soberly, and O'Reilly,
suppressing some light reply that bad
sprung to his lips, inquired, curiously,
"Whut do you mean by that?"
Brother and sister Joined In explain
ing thnt Donnn Isabel was given to pe
culiar actions, especially after periods
of excitement or nnger, und that onu of
her eccentricities bud taken the form
of somnambulistic wanderings. "Ob,
she's crazy enough," Estcbnn con
cluded. "I believe It's her evil con
science."
O'Rj-llly sennned the speuker silent
ly for n moment; then he said, with a
gravity unusual In him, "I wonder If
you know that you're suspected of
working for tho lnsurrecto cause."
"Indeed? I didn't know."
"Well, It's a fact." O'Reilly heard
Rosa gasp faintly. "Is It true?" be
asked.
"I am n Cuban."
"Cuban? Your people were Span
ish." "True. Rut no Spaniard over raised
a Spanish child In Cuba. Wo aro Cu
bans, Rosa and 1. 1 go everywhere, and
the Spanish olllcers talk plainly be
fore me. Somebody must bo the eyes
nnd the ears for Colonel Lopez."
"Colonel Lopez I" exclaimed O'Reilly.
Esteban nodded.
Rosa's face, as she looked at the two
men, was white and worried. For a
time the three of them sat silent ; then
tho American said, slowly, "You'll be
shot If you're caught."
"Some one must run chnnces," Este
ban uverred. "We're lighting tyranny;
nil Cubu Is ublazc. I must do my pnrt."
"Rut sooner or later you'll bo dis
coveredthen what?" persisted O'Reilly.
Esteban shrugged. "Who knows?
There'll bo time enough when "
"What of Rosa?"
At this question the brother stirred
uneasily nnd dropped his eyes. O'Reil
ly laid n hand upon his arm. "You
have no right to Jeopnrdlzo her safety.
Without you, to whom could sbo turn?"
Tho girl Unshed her admirer a grateful
glance.
"Senor, you for one would see thai
she"
"But I'm going away." O'Reilly
felt rather than saw Rosa start, for
bis face was uverted. "I camo here to
tell you both good-by. I may bo gone
for somo time. I I don't know when
I can got back."
"I'nsorry," Esteban told him, with
genuine regret. "Wo have grown very
fond of you. But you will come back
before long, eh? You're onu of us. In
tho menntlmo I'll remember what you
sny, nnd nt lenst I'll bo careful." By
no means wanting In tact, Esteban rose
briskly and, after slinking bands with
O'Reilly, left the two lovers to sny fare
well ns best suited them.
But for onco O'Reilly's ready tongue
was silent. The laughter was gono
from bis blue eyes when he turned to
tho girl nt his side.
"You sny you nre going away?" Rosa
Inquired, breathlessly. "But why?"
"I'm going partly because of this
war und partly because of something
else. I tried to tell you yesterday, but
I couldn't. When tho revolution start
ed everybody thought it was merely
n local uprising, und I wrote my com
pany to thn't effect; but, bless you, it
has sjireud like fire, und now the whole
eastern end of tho island Is ablaze.
Business has stopped, and my employ
ers have ordered me homo to llnd out
what's happened to their profits."
"You said there was something
else"
O'Reilly's hesitation beenme an em
barrassed silence. He tried to luugh
it off.
"There Is; otherwise I'd stay right
hero nnd tell my penurious friends to
whistle for their profits. It f.cums I'm
cursed with n fatal beauty. You may
have noticed It? No? Well, perhaps
It's n magnificent business ability that
I have. Anyhow, the president of my
company has a notion that I'd make
him a good son-in-law."
"I Ohl" erled Rosa.
And at her tone O'Reilly hurried on:
"These rich men have the most ub
surd Ideas. I suppose I'll have to "
"Then you aro in love, senor?"
The young mnn nodded vigorously.
"Indeed I am with the sweetest girl
In Cuba. That's the whole trouble.
That's why I'm burrylug homo to re
sign before I'm fired." Not daring to
look too long or too deeply Into Rosa
Varona's eyes until sbo had taken In
tho whole truth, ho wulted, staring at
bis feet. "I'm sort of glad It has come
to n show-down and I can speak out.
I'm hoping she'll miss me." After n
moment ho ventured, "Will she er
will you, Rosa?"
"I? Miss you?" Rosa lifted her
brows In pretended amazement. "You
are amusing, of course, but I won't
have much time to think about you,
for I nm so soon to bo married."
"Married? What? Nonsense l"
"Indeed I Do you think I'm so ugly
nobody would hnvo mo? Tho richest
man In Matanzns has asked for my
hand this very nfternoon."
"Who? Murlo do Castano?"
"Yes."
O'Reilly laughed with relief, and
though Rosn tried to look offended,
sjio wns forced to smile. "He's fat, I
know," sbo admitted, "nnd he makes
funny noises when ho breuthes ; but ho
Is richer than Croesus, nnd I ndore
rich men."
"I bnto 'eml" announced O'Reilly.
Then for n second time ho took Rosa's
dimpled hand, saying, earnestly: "I'm
sure you know now why I mnko love
so badly, dear. It's my Irish con
science. And you'll wait until I como
back, won't you?"
"Will you be gone very long?" she
asked.
O'Reilly looked deeply now Into the
dark eyes turned to bis, nnd found that
at last there was no coquetry In them
anywhere nothing but n lonesome,
hungry yearning and with n glad, In
coherent exclamation he held out bis
arms. Rosa Varona crept Into them;
then with u sigh she upturned her lips
to his.
"I'll wult forever," she said.
CHAPTER IV.
Retribution.
Although for u long time Donna Isa
bel had been sure In her own mind that
I'ancho Cueto, her udinlnlstrador, was
robbing her, she had never mustered
courage to call him to n reckoning.
Nevertheless, De Castano's blunt accu
sation, coupled with her own urgent
needs, served to fix her resolution, und
mi the day after the, merchant's visit
she sent for the overseer, who at tho
lime was living on one of the plan
tations. (.'ueto was plainly curious to learn
why he had been sent for, but since
he asked no questions, his employer

Asked.
was forced to open tho subject her
self. Through dry, white lips she be
gan: "My denr I'ancho, times nre hnrd. Tho
plantations nre fulling, and so " Pon
cho Cueto's eyes were set close to his
nose, his fuco wns long nnd thin nnd
harsh; he regarded tho speaker with
such a sinister, unblinking stare that
she could scarcely finish: " nnd so
I can no longer afford to retain you
as admlnlstrador."
"Times will Improve," ho said.
"Impossible! I tell you I'm bank
rupt." "So? Then the remedy is simple
sell n part of your land."
Although this suggestion enmo natu
rally enough, Donna Isabel turned cold,
and felt her smile stiffen Into a gri
mace. She wondered If Cueto could be
feeling her out deliberately. "Sell the
Varona lands?" sbo queried, after a
momentary struggle with herself. "Es
teban would rise from bis grave. No.
It was bis wish thnt tho plantations
go to his children lntnct."
"And his wish Is sucred to you, eh?"
Cueto nodded his approval, although
bis smile wns disconcerting. "An ad
mirable sentiment I It does you Jionor !
But speaking on this subject, I nm re
minded of that dispute with Joso Oroz
over the boundary to La Joyu. I have
promised to show him the original
deed to La Joy a and to furnish him
with the proofs about tho boundnry
line. That would bo better than a
lawsuit, wouldn't It?"
"Decidedly l But I will settle with
him myself."
Cueto lifted un admonitory hand, his
face alight with the faintest glimmer
of Ironic mirth. "I couldn't trust you
to the mercies of that rascal," ho said
piously. "No, I shall go on as I nm,
even nt n sacrifice to myself. I lovo
Don Esteban's children as my very
own; and you, senorn "
Isabel knew that she must win a
complete victory at once or uccept Ir
retrievable defeat.
"Never I" she Interrupted, with n
tone of finality. "I cun't accept your
sacrifice. I nm not worthy. Kindly
urrango to turn over your books of ac
count ut onco."
Then Pnncho Cueto did un unex
pected thing: ho laughed shortly und
shook his head.
Donnn Isabel was ready to faint nnd
her voice quuvered us sho went on:
Understand me, wo. part tho best of
friends desplto nil I have heard against
you. I do not bcllovo these Btorles
people tell, for you probubly hnvo en
emies. Even If nil they said were
true, I should fonco myself to bo leni
ent becauso of your affection for my
husband."
The man rose, still smiling. "It Is I
who have been lenient," said he.
"Eh? Speak plainly."
"Gludly. I huvo loug suspected that
Don Esteban hid tho deeds of his prop
erty with tho rest of his valuables, und
now that you admit "
Donna Isabel recoiled shurply. "Ad
mit I Aro you mad? Deeds I Whnt
are you talking about?" Her eyes met
his bravely enough, but she could feel
her lips trembling loosely.
Casting aside all pretense, the over
seer exclaimed: "Por el amor do Dlost
An end to this I I know why you sent
for me. You think I hnvo been rob
bing you. Well, to bo honest, so I
huve. Why should I toll as I do whllo
you and those twins live hero In lux
ury and idleness, squandering money
to which you hnvo no right?"
"Have I lost my reason?" gasped tho
widow. "No right?"
"At least no better right than I.
Don't you understand? You hnvo no
title to these plantntlonsl They nro
mine, for I have .paid the taxes out of
my own pockets now these many
years."
"Taxes I What do you menu?"
"I paid them. The receipts arc In
my name."
"Heaven! Such perfidy I And you
who knew him I"
"The deeds have been lost for so
long that the property would hnvo re
verted to the crown hnd It not been
for me. You doubt that, eh? Well, ap
peal to the court and you will find that
It Is true. Now, then, let us be frank.
Inasmuch as we're both In much tho
same fix, hadn't we better continue
our present urrangeinents?" He stared
unbllnklngly nt his listener. "Oh, I
mean It I Is it not better for you to
be content with what my generosity
prompts me to give, rather thnn to
risk ruin for both by grasping for too
much?"
"Tho outrage! I wnrrant you have
grown rich through your stealing."
Isabel's voice had gone lint with con
stornntlon. "Rich? Well, not exactly, but com
fortably well ofT." Cueto actually
smiled ngnin. "No doubt my frankness
Is n shock to you. You nro angry at
my proposition, oh? Never mind. You
will think better of It In time, If you
nre n sensible woman. But now, slnco
nt last we enjoy such confidential re
lations, let us have no more of these
rnlsernble suspicions of each other.
Let us entirely forget thls-unpleasant
misunderstanding und bo tho samo
good friends ns before."
Having said this, Pancho Cueto stood
silent u moment In polite expectancy;
then receiving no Intelligible reply, ho
bowed low und left tho room.
To tho nvnrielous Donna Isabel Cue
to's frank ncknowledgment of theft
wns maddening, and the realization
that she was helpless, nay, dependent
upon his charity for her living, fairly
crucified her proud spirit.
All day sho brooded, and by the tlmo
evening catqe she hnd worked herself
Into such a state of nerves that sbo
could eat no dinner. Some time during
the course of the evening n wild Idea
came to Isabel. Knowing that the mnn
ngcr would spend the night beneath
her roof, sho iilanncd to kill him. At
first It seemed n simple thing to do
merely n matter of n dagger or a pis
tol, while he slept but further thought
revealed nppnlllng risks nnd difficul
ties, nnd she decided to wait. Poison
was far safer.
Constant brooding over the treasure
hnd long since affected Donna Isabel's
brain, und ns n consequence sho often
dreamed about It. She dreamed about
It again tonight, nnd, strangely enough,
her dreams were pleasant. Sebastian
appeared, but for onco be neither
cursed nor threatened her; nnd Este
ban, when he came, was again tho
lover who had courted her In Hit
bnna. It was amazing, delightful.
Esteban and she were walking through
tho grounds of the qulnta and ho was
telling her nbout bis ensks of Spanish
sovereigns,, nbout those boxes bound
with Iron, nbout tho gold nnd silver or
naments of heavenly beauty nnd tho
pearls us largo as plums. As ho talked
Isabel felt herself grow hot and cold
with anticipation; sbo experienced
spasms of delight.
Then of n sudden Isabel's wholo
dream-world dissolved. She nwoke, or
thought she did, nt hearing her name
shouted. But although she underwent
the ntentnl und tho physical shock of
being stnrtlcd from slumber, although
she felt tho first swift fright of u per
son nroused to strange surroundings,
she knew on the instant thnt she must
still bo nsleep; for everything about
her was dim and dark, tho ulr was cold
nnd damp, wet grnsS rose to her knees.
Before sbo could half realize her con
dition sbo felt herself plunged Into
space. She heard herself scream
hoarsely, fearfully, and knew, too lute,
thnt sho was Indeed nwake. Then
whirling chaos A sudden, blinding
crash of lights and sounds Nothing

Esteban Vnronn sat until a lato hour
that night over n letter which required
the utmost caro In Its composition. It
wns written upon tho thinnest of pa
per, nud when It wns finished tho
writer Inclosed It In nn cnvelopo of tho
same material. Esteban put tho letter
In his pocket without addressing It
Letting himself out Into tbo night, bo
took the path thnt led to tho old
sunken gurden. Ho passed close by
the well, nnd Its gnping mouth, only
half protected by tho broken coping,
reminded him thnt ho had promised
Rosa to cover it with planks. In its
present condition It wns n mennco to
