"We've been talking about food,"
Leslie Drnnch advised his comtnnndlng
officer. "Miss Evnns Isn't n burning
patriot like the rest of us, and so of
cour8o flhe can't shnro our rnvenous np-
petite for beef cooked and enten on tho
hoof."
"So?" Lopez's hnndsomo fnco cloud
ed. "You nro hungry,, then?"
Norlno confessed thnt she wns. "I'm
starving 1" snld she. "I haven't had a
decent meal for a week."
"God bo praised 1 1 know where there
Is a goat, not two leagues uwayl" said
the colonel.
"But I don't want a goat," Norlno
complained. "I want well, pickles,
nnd Jam, and sardines, and candy,
nnd tooth-powder I Heal boarding
house luxuries. I'd Just like to rob a
general store."
Lopez furrowed his brows nnd lost
himself In thought. Later, while tho
others wero talking, he drew Ramos
aside nnd feu a while they kept their
heads together; then they Invited Jud
eon to Join their council.
When O'ltellly Joined Judson for
supper tho lntter met him with a broad
grin on his face. "Well," said he, "You
can get ready to saddlo up when tho
moon rises."
"What do you mean?"
"Tho colonel took Miss Evans nt her
word. We're going to rnld San Antonio
do los Bnnos two hundred of us to
gut her some pickles, nnd Jam, and
candy, nnd tooth-powder."
Certain histories of the Cuban War
for Independence speak of "Tho Bat
tle of Srtn Antonio do los Bnnos." It
to quite a stirring story to read and It
has but one fault, a fault, by the way,
not uncommon In histories It is main
ly nntrue.
In the first place, tho engagement
was In no sense n battle, but merely a
raid. Tho number of troops engaged
was, perhaps, one-fifth of tho generous
total ascribed by tho historians, and
as u military maneuver it served no
purpose whatsoever. Nevertheless,
since tho affair had a direct bearing
opon tho fortunes of several pcoplo
connected with this story, It Is, per
haps, worth relating,
i Lopez nnd his troop approached the
town In tho early morning. As they
deployed for tho nttnclc tho colonel Is
sued prlvnto instructions to certain
members of his command.
"O'Reilly, you nnd Scnor Branch will
enter one grocery store ufter another.
You will purchase that Jam. those sar
dines, nnd whatever elso you think
Miss Evnns would like. Cnptnln Jud

thero Is a very good one and look for
tooth-powder nnd candy and the like. I
shall sec that tho streets nro cleared,
then I shall endeavor to discover some
pickles; but ns God Is my Judge, I

of Hnbnnn."
Lesllo Branch, whoso temper had not

quired, cnustlcally : "Do you expect us
to buy tho groceries? Well, I'm broke,
and so is O'Reilly. If you don't glvo us

open n chnrgo account In your name."
"Carombal" muttered Lopez. "I In

There followed n typical Cuban en
gagement ten shouts to ono shot.
There was n mad chnrgo on tho heels
oftho scurrying populaco, a scattering
pop-pop of rifles, cheers, cries, shrieks
of defiance and fnr-flung insults direct
ed at tho fortlnas.
' O'ltailly, with Branch and Jacket
close at his heels, whirled his horso
Into tho first bodega ho came to. Tho
store was stocked with general mer
chandise, but Its owner, evidently a
Spaniard, did not tarry to set a price
upon any of it. As tho threo horsemen
canio clattering In at tho front he went
flying out nt tho rear, and, although
O'Reilly called reassuringly after him,
his only answer was tho Bl'nmmlng of u

Thero was no time to waste. John
nie dismounted and, wnlklng to tho
shelves whero soiuo imported canned
goods wero displayed, ho began to se
lect thoso delicacies for which ho had
been sent. The devoted Jacket was nt
his eldo. Tho little Cuban exorcised no

jf-
tunity for loot Jacket's soul flamed
savagely nnd ho swept tho shelves baro

"Hey, Leslie! Get something to carry
this stuff In," O'Reilly directed over
his shoulder.
Spurred by O'Reilly's tono nnd by n
lively rnttlo of rifle-shots outside, Les
lie disappeared Into tho llvlng-qunrtcrs
at the back of the store. A moment
later he emerged with a hugo armful
of bedclothes, evidently flnntched at
random. Trailing behind him, llko a
bridal veil, was n mosquito-net, which
in his haste ho had torn from its fas
tenings. "I guess this Is poor!" ho exulted.
"Bedding! Pillows I Mosqulto-notl I'll

Dumping his burden of sheets, blank

upon tho floor, Branch selected two of

Ho had scarcely finished when Jud
son reined lu nt the door and called to
O'Reilly : "We've cleaned out the drug

Sharing In tho general consterna

disappeared, leaving Lopez' men free
to break Into tho prison. When O'Reil

they could find, Judson nnd O'Reilly
went from cell to cell, bnttcrlng, pry

to rescuo tho Inmates. While the
Americans smashed lock after lock,
their comrades dragged tho astonished
Inmates from their kennels, hustled
them Into tho street, nnd took them up
behind their saddles. .
Tho raid wns over, "retreat" was
sounding, when Judson nnd O'Reilly

however, served only to terrify further
tho civil population and to closo the
stutters of San Antonio the tighter.
Meanwhile, tho loyal troops remained
safely In their blockhouses, pouring a
steady flro into tho town. And desplto
this admirable display of courage tho
vUltors showed n deep respect for their
enemies marksmanship, taking advan
tage of whatever shelter thero was.
Tho raiders had approached San An
tonio do los Bnnos across tho fields nt
tho rear, but Colonel Lopez led their
retreat by way of tho camlno real
which followed tho river bank. This
road for a short distance was exposed
to tho tiro from ono port ; then it was
sheltered by a bit of rising ground.

Tidily, nmong tho last to cross tno
zone of lire, was Just congratulating
httu.self upon the fortunate outcome of
the skirmish yhen he saw Colonel Lo
pez rldo to the crest of n knoll, rise In
his stirrups nnd, lifting his cupped
hands to his lips, dlrotrt n loud shout
back toward the town. Lopez was fol
lowed by several of his men, who like
wise begun to yell and to wave their
nrtns excitedly.
Johnnie turned to discover thnt Les
llo Branch had lagged far behind, nnd
now, as If to enp his fantastic perform
ance, had dismounted and was de
scending tho river bank to a place
where n large wnshlng had been spread
upon tho stones to dry. Ho wns quite
exposed, nnd n spiteful crncklo from the
nenrcst blockhouse showed thnt the
Spunlnrds wero determined to bring
lil tn down. Mnuscr bullets ricocheted
among the rocks even from this dis
tance their sharp explosions were audi
ble others broke the surface of tho
stream into little geysers, ns if a school
of fish were leaping.
When Johnnie looked on In breath
less apprehension Brunch npproprlntcd
several suits thnt promised to fit him;
then ho climbed up tho bank, remount
ed his horse, and nmbled slowly out of
range.
Now this was precisely the sort of
harebrained exploit which delights a
Cuban audience. When Lesllo re
joined his comrudes, therefore, ho j wns
greeted with shouts nnd cheers.
"Curamba! IIo would risk his life
for n clean shirt. . . . There's a fel
low for you I He enjoys tho hum of
these Spanish bees! . . . Brnvol
Tell us what tho bullets said to you,"
they cried, crowding nround him In nn
admiring circle.
O'Reilly, unnble to contain himself,
burst forth In n rage : "Lopez ought to
court-mnrtlal you."
Infuriated, he rode over to where
Captain Judson was engaged In mak
ing a litter upon which to carry the
sick prisoner they had rescued from
tho Jail. "This chap here is all in,"
said Judson. "I'm afraid we aren't go
ing to get him through."
Following Judson's glance, O'Reilly
beheld nn emaciated figure lying in the
shade of n nenrby'guavn bush. The
man wns clad In filthy rags, his face
was dirty and overgrown with a
month's beard ; a pair of restless, eyes
stared unbllnklngly nt the brazen sky.
Ills lips wero moving; from them Is
sued a steady patter of words, but oth
erwise ho showed no sign of life.
"You sold ho was starving." Johnnie
dismounted and lent Judson a hand
with his task.
"That's what I .thought nt first, but
ho'8 sick. I supposo it's that Infernal
dungeon fever. We can swing him be
tween our horses, and "
Judson looked up to discover that
Johnnie was poised rigidly, his mouth
open, his hands halted in midair. The
slcklnnn's voice had risen, and O'Reil
ly, with a peculiar expression of
amazement upon his face, was strain
ing his ears to hear what he said.
"Eh? What's -thov matter?" Judson
Inquired.
For a moment O'Reilly remained
frozen In his attitude, then without n
word ho strode to the sufferer. He bent
forward, staring into the vacant, up
turned fnce. A cry burst from his
throat, a cry that was like a sob, and,
kneeling, he gathered tho frail, filthy
figure into his nrms.
"Estebnn!" ho cried. "Esteban! This
Is O'Reilly. O'Rnll-ye I Don't you know
me? O'Reilly, your friend, your broth
er! For God's sake, tell mo what
they'vo dono to you 1 Look at me, Es
tebnn ! Look at mo ! Look nt me I Oh,
Estebnn I"
Such eagerness, such thankfulness,
such pnsslonnte pity were In his
friend's honrse volco that Judson drew
closer. He noticed thnt tho faintest
flame of renson flickered for an lustnnt
In the sick man's hollow eyes; then
they began to rove again, nnd the snme
rustling whisper recommenced. O'Reil
ly held the boy tenderly In his nrms;
tears rolled down his cheeks ns he Im
plored Estebun to hear and to heed
him.
"Try to hear me! Try!" There was
fierce agony In the cry. "Whero is
Rosa? . . . Rosa? . . . You're
snfo now; you can tell me. . . .
You're safe with O'Reilly. ... I
came back ... I camo back for you
and Rosn. . . . Whero Is she? . . .
Is she dead?"
Other men were assembling now.
Tho column wns ready to move, but
Judson signaled to Colonel Lopez nnd
rando known the identity of the sick
stranger. Tho colonel enme forward
Bwlftly and laid a hand upon O'Reil
ly's shoulder, saying:
"So t You were right, after nil. Es
teban Vnrona didn't die. God must
have sent us to San Autonlo to deliver
him."
"He's sick, sick!" O'Reilly snld,
huskily. "Thoso Spaniards! Look
what they've dono to him." His volco
changed. Ho cried, fiercely: "Well,
I'm lato again. I'm always Just a llttlo
bit too lato. He'll die before ho can
tell me "
"Walt I Tako hold of yourself. We'll
do all that can be done to save him.
Now come, wo must bo going, or all
San Antonio will bo upon us."
O'Reilly roused. "Put him In my
nrms," ho ordered. "I'll carry him to
camp myself."
But Lopez shook bis head, saying,
gently: "It's n long march, nnd tho
litter would bo better for him. Thank
henven wo have nn angel of mercy
nwaltlng us, nnd sho will know how to
mnko him well."
When tho troop resumed Its retreat
Estebnn Varona lay suspended upon n
8winglng bod between O'Reilly and
Judson's horses. Although they car
ried him as carefully as they could
throughout thut long hot Journoy, ,ho
never censed his bubbling and never
awoke to his surroundings.
CHAPTER XV.
Norlne Takes Charge.
During tho, next few days O'Reilly
hud rcanon to bless tho happy chance
which hud brought Norlne Evans to
Cubn. During the return Journey from
Snn Antonio tie los Bnnos he had dis
covered how really ill Estebnn Vnrona
was, how weak his hold upon life.
After listening to his rnvlngs, O'Reilly
began to four that the poor fellow's
mind wns permanently nffectcd. It wns
an appalling possibility, one to which
he could not rcconcllo himself. To
think that somewhere in that fovered
bruin wns perhaps locked the truth
about Rosa's fnte, if not the secret of
her whereabouts, nnd yet to bo unnblo
to wring nn intelligent nnswer to a
slnglo question, wns Intolerable. The
hours of that ride were among the
longest O'Reilly hnd ever passed.
But Norlno Evnns gnvo him new
heart. Sho took complete charge of
the sick man upon his arrival In camp;
then In her brisk, matter-of-fact way
she directed O'Reilly to go nnd get
some much-needed rest. Estebnn was
111, very HI, she admitted; there was no
competent doctor nenr, and her own
facilities for nursing were primitive
Indeed; nevertheless, she expressed
confidence thnt she could euro him,
nnd reminded O'Reilly that nature has
a blessed way of building up n resist
ance to environment. As n result of
her good cheer O'Reilly mannged to
enjoy n night's sleep.
He was up nt daylight to offer his
services in caring for Esteban Vnrona,
but Norlno declined them.
"His fever is down u little and he
has taken some nourishment," sho re-
"Eeteb.nl This It O'Reilly!"
ported. "That food you boys risked
yo.ur silly lives for may come In handy,
after nil."
"I daro say he won't be nble to talk
to mo today?" O'Reilly ventured.
"Not today, nor for many days, I'm
afraid."
"If you don't mind, then, I'll hang
around nnd listen to what ho says," ho
told her, wistfully. "He might drop a
word nbout Rosa."
"To be sure. So far he's scarcely
mentioned her. I can't understand
much thnt ho says, of course, but Mrs.
Ruiz tells mo It's all Jumbled nnd quite
unintelligible."
It was a balmy, languid morning
about two weeks nfter O'Reilly's re
turn to tho City Among the Leaves. In
n hammock swung between two trees
Estebnn Vnrona lay, listening to the
admonitions of his nurse.
Johnnie O'Reilly hnd Just bade them
both a henrty good morning nnd now
Norlno wns snylng: "Ono hour, no
more. You hud a temperature again
Inst night, nnd it came from talking too
much. Remember, it takes mo Just ono
hour to make my rounds, nnd if you
are not through with your tales of
blood and battle when I get bnck you'll
have to finish them tomorrow." With
a nod nnd a smile she left.
As Ertteban looked after her his
white teeth gleamed and his hollow
face lit up.
"Sho brings mo new life," ho told
O'Reilly. "She is so strong, so healthy,
so full of life herself. Sho Is wonder
ful ! When I first Haw her bending over
mo I thought I was dreaming. Some
times, even yet, I think sho cunnot bo
real. But sho Is, eh?"
"She Is qulto subs.tnntlnl," O'Reilly
smiled. "All tho sick fellows talk as
you do."
Esteban looked up quickly; his face
darkened. "She er nurses others,
eh? I'm not tho only one?"
"Well, hardly."
Thero was a brief pnuse ; then Este
bnn shifted his position nnd his tone
changed. "Tell me, have you hoard
any news?"
, "Not yet, but wo will hear sorao be
foro long I'm sure."
"Your faith does as much for me ns
this lady's care. But when you go
away, when I'm alone, when I begin to
think"
"Don't think too much; don't permit
yourself to doubt," O'ltellly snld, quick
ly. "Tnko my word for It, Rosa Is nilve
and wo'll find her somewhere, some
how. General Gomez will soon have
word of her. Thnt's what I'vo been
waiting for thnt and what you might
huvo to tell me."
"You know nil that I know now and
everything thnt has happened to me."
"I don't know how you cniue to be In
n cell In San Antonio do los llanos, two
hundred miles from tho place you wore
killed. That Is still a mystery."
ft r very simple, amlgo. Let mo
see: I had finished telling you nbout
tho fight nt La Joya. I was telling you
how I fainted. Somo good people found
mo n few hours nfter I lost conscious
ness. They supposed I had been at
tacked by guerrillas and left for dead.
Finding thnt I still had life In me, they
took mo homo with them. They were
old friends from Mntnnzns by the
name of Valdes cultured people who
had fled tho city nnd wero hiding in tho
mnnlgim llko tho rest of us."
"Not Vnldes, tho notary?"
"Tho very snme. Alberto Vnldes nnd
his four dnughters. Henven guided
them to me. Alberto wns an old man ;
ho hnd hard work to provide food for
his girls. Nevertheless, ho refused to
abandon me. Oh, they were faithful,
patient people 1 You see, I had walked
enst instead of west, and now I wns
miles nwny from home, nnd tho coun
try between was swarming with Span
lnrds who were burning, destroying,
killing. You wouldn't know Matnnzas,
O'Reilly. It is n desert.
"I finally became able to drag myself
around tho hut. But I hod no means
of sending word to Rosa, and the un
certainty nenrly made mo crazy. My
clothes had rotted from me; my bones
wero Just under the skin. I must have
been a shocking sight. Then one dny
thero came n fellow traveling east with
messages for Gomez. He was ono of
Lopez' men, nnd he told me that Lo
pez had gone to tho Rubl Hills with
Maceo, and that there were none of
our men left In tho province. He told
me other things, too. It was from him
that I learned" Esteban Vnronn's
thin hands clutched the edges of his
hammock and he rolled his head wenk
ly from side to side. "It was he who
told me about Rosa. He said that Cobo
had ravaged the Yumuri and thnt my
sister was gone!"
"There, there ! We know better now,"
O'Reilly snld, soothingly.
"It wns a hideous story, a story of
rape, murder. I wonder thnt I didn't
go mnd. It never occurred to me to
doubt, nnd ns n mntter of fact the fel
low was honest enough; he really be
lieved what he told me. After the
man hnd finished I"felt the desire to
get nway from all I had known nnd
loved, to lenvc Mntanzas for new fields
and give what was left of mo to tho
cause. I was free to enlist, since I
couldn't reach Lopez, and I came to
Join our forces In the Orient.
"That Is how you found me In this
province. Lopez' man never delivered
these dlspntchcs, for we were taken
crossing the trocha nt least I was
taken, for Pablo was killed. They'd
have made nn end of me, too, I daro
say, only I wns so wenk. It seems n
century since that night. My memory
doesn't serve me very well from thnt
point, for they Jailed me, and I grow
worse.' I was out of 'my head a good
deal."
The two men fell silent for a while.
Estebnn lay with closed eyes, exhaust
ed. O'Reilly gave himself up to frown
ing thought. His thoughts were not
pleasant ; he could not, for tho life of
him, believe In Rosn's safety so Im
plicitly as he had led Esteban to sup
pose; his efforts to cheer the other
had sapped his own supply of hope,
leaving him n prey to black misgivings.
He was glad when Norlno Evans' re
turn put nn end to his speculations.
"Hnve you hnrrowed this poor man's
feelings sufficiently for once?" she in
quired of O'Reilly.
"I have. I'll agree to talk about
nothing unpleasant hereafter."
Esteban turned to his nurse. "There
Is something I wnnt to tell you both."
"Wait until tomorrow," Norlno ad
vised. But he persisted : "No ! I must tell
It now. First, however, did either of
you discover nn old coin In nny of my
pockets nn old Spanish doubloon?"
"Thnt doubloon ngnln I" Norlne lift
ed her hnnds protestlngly, nnd cast a
meaning look nt O'Reilly. "You tnlked
about nothing elso for n whole week.
Let me feel your pulse."
Estebnn surrendered his hnnd with
suspicious readiness.
"You wero flat broke when wo got
you," O'Reilly declared.
"Probably. I seem to remember that
somebody stole It."
."Doubloons I Pieces of eight ! Gold
en guineas!" cxclnlmed Norlne. "Why
thoso nro pirate coins! They remind
mo of Treasure Island; of Long John
Sliver nnd his wooden leg; of Ben
Gunn nnd all the rest."
Esteban smiled uncomprchendlngly.
"Yes? Well, this hns to do with trens
ure of tho Vnronns. My father burled
It. Ho was very rich, you know, nnd
ho wns nfrnld of tho Spaniards. O'Reil
ly knows tho story."
Johnnlo nssented with a grunt,
"Sure! I know nil nbout It."
