Rainbows By , CHAPTER XVI Continued. 14 O'Reilly Joined In tho laughter C voiced by thin remark. lie was quite a tnttcrcd no tho poorest of Betnn court's common soldiers; his shoes were broken and disreputable ; his cot ton trousers, snagged by barbed wlro and brambles, and soiled by days In tho saddlo and nights In tho grass, were In desperato need of attention. Els beard had grown, too, and his skin, whero It was exposed, was burnt to mahogany brown. Certainly thero was nothing about his appcaranco to (bespeak his nationality. " I The general continued : "I am direct led n this letter to help you la somo (enterprise. Command me, sir." As briefly as possible Johnnlo made known the object of his Journey. The (officer nodded his comprehension, but bb he did bo a puzzled expression crossed his face. "Yes, I reported that Miss Varona had gone into the city I took some pains to find out. Do you have reason to doubt" "Not tho least, sir." 1 "Then why have you come all this i way?" "I camo to And her and to fetch her 'to her brother." "But you don't understand. She Is actually lnsldo tho lines, in Matan !tas a prisoner." "Exactly. I Intend to go Into Mntun izas and bring her out." General Bctancourt drew 'back, as tonl8hed. "My dear man!" ho cx Iclalmcd. "Aro you mad?" O'Reilly smiled faintly. "Quito .probnbly. All lovers aro mildly mad, 'i believe." "Ah I Lovers 1 I begin to see. But how do you mean to go about this 'this Impossible undertaking?" "You told me Just now that I could (pass for a Cuban. Well, I am going to put It to the test. If I onco get Into tho city I shall tnanngc somehow to get out again, and bring her with me." "Um-ml" The general uppralsed O'ltellly speculatively. "No doubt you can get In It Is not so difficult to en 'ter, I believe, nnd especially to ono who speaks tho lunguugo llko n native. But the return I fear you will find (that another matter. Matanzas Is n iplaco of pestilence, hunger, despair. No ono goes thero from choice any more, and no ono ever comes out." I "So I should imagine." Tho speak er's careless tone udded to General Be tancourt's astonishment. "Bless mo I" ho exclaimed. "What an extraordi nary young man I Is it possible that you do not comprehend tho terrible conditions?" A sudden thought struck him and ho Inquired quickly : "Tell me, you are not by any chance that hero they call El Demonlo? I havo heard that ho Is Indeed n demon. No? Very welll You say you wish to visit Ma tanzas, and I am instructed to help you. How can I do so?" O'ltellly hcsltnted an Instant. "For ono thing, I need money. I I haven't a single peseta." "You are welcome to tho fow dol lars I possess." Johnnlo expressed his gratitudes for this ready assistance. "One thing more," said he. "Will you glvo my boy, Jacket, a new pair of trousers deslro even to smile, for the boy's ear and send him back to tho Orient at tho nostness was touchlnc and It caused first opportunity?" i "Of course.- It is done." The gen eral laid a friendly hand upon O'Reil ly's shoulder, saying, gravely: "It would relievo mo Intensely to send you back with him, for I have fears for tho success of your venture. Matanzas Is n hell; It has swallowed up thou sands of our good countrymen; thou sands havo died there. I'm afraid you do not realize what risks you aro hik ing." O'Reilly did not allow this well meant warning to Influences him, nor did ho listen to tho admonitions of tthose other Cubans who tried to urguo with him out of his purpose, onco It becamo known. On tho contrary, ho proceeded with his preparations and .spent that afternoon In satisfying him- elf that Rosa hud Indeed left tho Pan de Matanzas before Cobo's raid. Among Bctancourt's troops was a man who had been living In tho hills at tlio tlmo Ascuslo nnd his family had abandoned their struggle for ex istence, nnd to hlra O'Reilly went. This fellow, It seemed, hud remained with his family In tho mountains some tlmo after Ascnslo's departure. It wus from him thut O'Reilly heard his first authentic report of tho atrocities per petrated by Cobo's volunteers. This man had lost hu wife, his llttlo sun, and all tho scanty belongings ho pos eessedr With shaking hands up Btrctchcd to heaven, tho fellow cursed tho author of his misfortunes. "I live for ono thing I" ho cried shrilly "to meet that monster, und to butcher him, ns lio butchers women nnd children." O'Reilly purposely left his most un pleasant task to tho last. When his arrangements had been completed nnd ho had acquainted himself as far ns possible with tho hazards ho wns likely to encounter, ho took Jacket nsldo and broko tho news to him that on tho fol lowing rooming they 'must part. As ho had expected, tho boy refused to Utfon to him. O'Reilly remained firm REX BEACH (Copyright, t7 nrpr and Brothers) and Jacket begun to weep copiously. IIo worked himself up to n hysterical crescendo which threatened to urouso tho entlro encampment. But O'ltellly was unmoved. "Bo quiet," ho told tho boy. "I won't let you go with me, und thut ends it. It will bo hard enough for ono man to slip through; two would bo sure to fall." "Those Spaniards will skill youl" Jacket walled. "So much tho mora reason for you to stay here." At this the boy uttered a louder cry. IIo stamped his baro feet In n frenzy of disappointment "You das sent leave me you duBscnt!" "Listen, pcoplo aro starving In Ma tanzas; they aro nick; they aro dying In tho streets." "I don't cat much." When Johnnlo shook his head stub bornly Jacket launched himself Into a torrent of profanity tho violence of which dried his tears. Ills vocabu lary was surprising. IIo reviled tho Spaniards, C'Hellly, himself, everybody nnd everything; ho leveled anathemas at that woman who had come between him nnd his beloved benefactor. 'The latter listened good-nuturedly. "You're a tough kid," he laughed, when Jacket's first rago had worn It self out. "I llko you, and I'd take you If I could. But this Isn't an enterprise for a boy, and It won't get you any thing to keep up this racket." Jacket next tried tho power of ar gument. IIo attempted to prove that In a hazardous undertaking of this sort his assistance would bo Invalu able. IIo was, so ho declared, tho ono person In all Cuba In every respect qualified to shnro O'Reilly's perils. To begin with, ho wns not afraid of Span lards, or anything else, for that mat ter lie dismissed tho subject of per sonal courago with n contemptuous shrug. As for cunning, sagacity, pru dence, resource, all-around worth, ho was, without doubt, unequaled lu any country. IIo was n veritable Spartan, too, when It camo to hardship priva tion nnd Buffering were almost to his Hklug. IIo 'was discreet discretion was something ho had Inherited; ho was a diplomat diplomacy being ono of his most unique accomplishments. As for this talk about hunger, O'Reilly need not concern himself In the least on that score, for Jacket was a small cater and could grow fat on n diet of dried leaves. Disease? Bah I It made him laugh. Ills experience with sick ness was wider than most flslcos, nnd ho wns a better nurso than Miss Ev ans would ever he. Jucket did not wish to appear In tho least boastful. On tho contrary, ho was actually too mod est, as his friends could attest, but truth compelled him to admit that he was Just the man for O'Reilly. IIo found It Impossible to recommend him self too highly; to save his soul he could think of no qualification In which ho was lacking nnd could see no rea son why his benefactor would not greatly profit by Uio free uso of his amazing talents. The enterprise was difficult; It would certainly fall with out him. Johnnlo remained carefully atten tive during this adjuration. He felt no tho elder man's throat to tighten un comfortably. Johnnie had not realized before how fond he had become of this quaint youngster. And so, when tho llttlo fellow paused hopefully, O'Reilly put an arm around him. "I'm suro you nro everything you sny you are, Jacket, and more, too, but you can't go I" With that Jacket flung off the cm brace and, stalking away, heated him solf. Ho took n half-smoked cigar from the pocket of his shirt nnd lit It, scowling tho whllo at his friend. Moro than onco during tho evening O'Reilly detected his sullen, angry eyes upon him. General Bctancourt nnd several mem bers of his staff wero up early tho fol lowing morning to bid their visitor good-by. In splto of tholr efforts to mnko tho parting cheerful It wns plain that they had but little hope of ever again seeing this foolhardy American. Johnnie's spirits were not In tho lensi nnccieo y iius iii-conccnicu pes simism, for, ns he told himself, he had money In his pockets und Matanzas was not many miles nwny.. But when ho camo to part from Jacket ho experi enced n genulno disappointment. Tho boy, strangely enough, was almost In different to his leaving; ho merely ex tended n limp, dirty hand, nnd replied to O'Reilly's parting words with a careless "Adlos I" In hurt Burprlso tho former Inquired, "Don't wo part good friends?" "Suro I" Jacket shrugged, then turned nwny. Jacket wns n likablo youngster; his devotion was thoroughly unselfish; it had not been ensy to wound him. With keener regrets thnu ho cared to ac knowledge O'Reilly set out upon his Journey,, following tho guldo whom General Bctancourt had provided. It wus u lovely morning, sufficiently wurmto promise n hot midday; tho air was moist and fresh from a recent shower. This being tho rainy Benson, tho trails wero soft, and whero tho rich End Author of "Th Iron Trail," "The Spoilers," "Heart of the Sunset," Etc red Cuban soil wns exposed tho trav elers sank Into It ns Into wet putty. Crossing n rocky ridge, O'Reilly nnd his guide at last emerged upon an open slope, knee-high In grass nnd grown up to bottlo palms, those queer, distorted trees whoso trunks aro swol len Into the likeness of earthen water jars. Scattered hero and thero over the meadows were tho dead or fallen trunks of another variety, the cabbage palm, tho green heart of which had long formed a staple artlclo of diet for tho Insurrectos. Spanish axes had been at work hero and not n single tree remained nllve. Tho green floor of tho valley farther down was dotted with the other, tho royal kind, that monarch of tropic vegetation which lends to tho Cuban lundsenpo Its pe culiar nnd distinctive beauty. "Yonder is tho cnmlno," said the countryman, pointing Into tho valley; "It will lead you to tho main road; and there" ho turned to tho north ward "Is Matanzas. Go with God, nnd don't drink tho well water, which Is polluted from tho rains." With a smllo nnd n wnvo of tho hand tho man turned back and plunged Into the jungle. - f- - As O'Reilly descended the slope ho realized keenly that ho was alono and In hostllo territory. The hills and tho woods from IMnar del Rio to Orlcnto were Cuban, or, at most, they wero disputed ground. But hero In tho plains und valleys near tho cities Spain was supreme. From this moment on O'Reilly knew ho must rely entirely upon himself. Tho success of his en terprise his very llfo hinged upon his caution, his powers of dissimula tion, his ability to puss as a harmless, helpless puclflco. It gavo him an un accustomed thrill, by no means pleas ant. Tho road, when ho enmo to It, proved to bo n deep gutter winding between red cloy banks cut by tho high wheels of clumsy cano carts. Inasmuch as no "You're a Tough Kid!" Ho Laughed. crops whatever had been moved over tho road during tho pnst season, It was now llttlo moro than nn oozy, sticky rut. Not a roof, not a chimney wns In sight; tho vnlley was doerted. Hero was a fertllo farming country and yet no living thing, no sound of hulls, no voices, no crowing cocks, no lowing cattle. It was depressing to O'Reilly, nnd more, for thero was somuthlmr menacing nnd threatening about It all. Toward noon tho breezo lessened and It becntno Insufferably hot. A bank of clouds In tho cast promised a cooling shower, so Johnnlo sourfit tho nenrest shade to wait for It, and took advnntngo of tho delay to cat his slen der lunch IIo was meditatively munch ing a sweet potato when a sound ut his bnck caused him to lenp to his feet i jn alarm. Ho whirled, then uttered an exclamation of amazement. Seated not fifty feet nwny was a bare-legged hoy, similarly engaged In eating n sweet potnto. It was Jacket. Ills browu cheeks were distended, his bright, Inquisitive eyes wero fixed upon O'Reilly from beneath a defiant soml. "Jnckct 1" cried the man. "What tho devil aro you doing hero?"' "You goln' to let mo como along?" chnllengcd tho Intruder. "So 1 You followed me, nf tor I said I didn't want you?" O'Reilly spoke re proachfully; but reproaches had no effect upon tho Ind. With u mild ex pletive, JacVe) signified his contempt for such a wenk form of persuasion. "Seo here, now." O'Reilly stepped closer. "Let's bo sensible nbout tins." But Jacket scrambled to his feet nnd retreated warily, stuffing the uneaten portion of tho sweet potato luto his mouth. It was plain that ho hud uo conildenco In O'Reilly's Intentions. Muttering something In n muffled voice, ho armed himself with a stout sUck. "T-U-fciv- ji "Come hero," commanded tho.Amcrl can. Jacket shook his head. Uo made a painful nttempt to swallow, and when his utterance becamo more dis tinct he consigned his Idol to a warmer place than Culm. "I'm a tough kid," ho declared. "Don't get gay on me." The two parleyed briefly; then, when satisfied thnt no violence was Intended him, the boy sat down to listen. But, as before, neither argument nor appeal had the slightest effect upon him. He denied that ho had followed his bene factor ; he declared that ho was n free agent nnd nt liberty to go where ho willed. If It so chnnced that his fancy took him to the city of Matanzas at tho sumo tlmo O'Reilly happened to bo traveling thither, the circumstance might be put down to the long nrm of coincidence. If his company wero dis tasteful to tho elder man, O'Reilly was free to wait and follow Inter; It was a matter of complcto Indifference to Jnckct. lie had business In Mntanzns and he proposed to attend to it. The boy lied gravely, unblushlngly. Ncv crthclesshe kept n watchful eye upon his hearer "Very well," O'Reilly told him final ly. "I glvo In." Jacket's face Instantly lit up. He radiated good humor; he hitched his body closer. "By 1 I got my own way, don't I?" ho laughed. "Indeed you do." O'Reilly laid n hand fondly upon his loyal follower. "And I don't mind telling you thnt I'm moro than half glad of It. I I wa3 getting lonesome. I didn't know how much I could miss you. But now wo must mako somo plans, wo must have an understanding and decide who wo nre. Let mo see your real nnmo Is Narclso " "Nnrclso Vlllnr." "Well, then, I shall bo Juan Vlllar, your brother. Henceforth we fchnll speak nothing but Spanish. Tell mo now, what was our father's nnmc, whero was our home, and what urc wo doing together?" Durln.t the breathless Interval be fore the shower tho two sat with their heads together, talking earnestly. As tho wind came nnd tho cooling rain be gan to rnttlo on tho leaves overhead they took up their bundles nnd set out. The big drops drenched them quickly. Their thin garments clung to them nnd water streamed down their bodies; overhend tho sky was black and rent by vivid streaks of fire, but they plodded onwnrd cheerfully. Jacket was himself again; ho bent his weight against the tempest nnd lengthened his short strides to O'Reil ly's, no tried to whistle, but his teeth chnttcred nnd tho wind Interfered, so he hummed a song, to drive tho chill out of his bones nnd to hearten his Benefactor. Now thnt ho was at last accepted as a full partner In this enter prise, It became his duty not only to share Its perils, but to lessen Its hard ships and to yield diversion. The rain was cold, the briers besldo the overgrown path wero sharp, and they scratched tho boy's bare legs cru elly ; his stomach clamored for a com panion to that solitary sweet potato, too, but in his breast glowed -ardor and pride. Jacket considered himself n fortunate person n very fortunate person, Indeed. Had he not found n brother, and did not that brother Iovo him? There was no doubt nbout tho latter, for O'Reilly's eyes, when he looked down, were friendly and Inti mate, nero was a mnn to dlo for. Tho downpour lasted but a short time, when the sun camo out and dried tho men's clothes ; on tho whole, It hud been refreshing. When evening came tho Vlllnr brothers sought refugo In nn old sugar mill, or rnther In n pnrt of It still standing. They were on tho main calzada now, the paved road which links tho two main cities of tho island, nnd by tho following noon their destination was In sight. O'Reilly felt n sudden excitement when Matanzas camo Into view.. From this distance tho city looked quite ns It did when ho had left It, except that the blue harbor, was nlmost empty of shipping, while the fnmlllnr range of hills that hid the Yumurl that vnlley of delight so closely Jinked In his thoughts with Rosa Vnrona seemed to smllo at him llko nn old friend. For tho thousandth time ho asked himself If ho hud como In tlmo to find her, or If fate's maddening delays had proved his own nnd tho girl's undoing. O'Reilly knew that although Matan zas wus n prison nnd a pesthole, n girl llko Rosa would suffer In perils Infi nitely worso than Imprisonment or dis ease. It wns n Thought ho could not bear to dwell upon. Signs of llfo began to appenr now, tho travelers pussed smnll garden patches and occasional cultivated fields; they encountered londed curts bound Into tho city, nnd onco they hid themselves whllo n column of mounted troops went by. O'Reilly stopped to pass tho tlmo of dny with n wrinkled enrtmnn whoso dejected oxen wero resting. Golng Into tho city, aro you?" tho fellow inquired. "Stnrvcd out, I sup pose. Well, It's ns pleasant to starve In ono placo as another." Jacket helped himself to a etalk of cano rrom tho load and Degaa to Btrtp It with his teeth. "Will the soldiers allow oa to enter?" Johnnie Inquired. "Of course. Why'not? Tho old man laughed mirthlessly; then his volco chnnged. "Go back," ho snld, "go bnck and dlo In tho fields. Mntnnzas stinks of rotting corpses. Go back where tho air Is clean." Ho swung his long lash over the oxen, they leaned ngalnst tho load, nnd tho cart creaked dismally on -Its way. It Is never difficult to enter n trap, and Matanzas wns precisely that. Thero were soldiers everywhere, but beyond nn Indifferent challenge at the outer blockhouse, a perfunctory ques tion or two, Narclso and Junn Vlllar experienced no trouble whntever In passing tho lines. Discipline, never strict at best, was extremely lax at tho brick fortlnas along the ronds, and, slnco these two refugees were too poor to warrant search, they were waved onwnrd by the sentries. They obeyed silently; In aimless bewilderment they shufiled along toward tho heart of tho city. Almost before they realized It they hnd run tho gantlet nnd had joined that army of misery, fifteen thousand strong. Tho hand of Spain had closed over them. CHAPTER XVII. Rosa. "Look!" Jacket clutched at O'Reilly and pointed n shaking finger. "Moro beggars! Chrlsto! And thoso llttlo children 1" The boy tried to Inugh.'but his volco cracked nervously. "Are they children, or gourds with legs under them?" O'Reilly looked, then turned his eyes nwny. He and Jacket had reached the heart ofMatanzns und were facing tho public square, tho Plaza de la Llb ertad It wus culled. Matanzas ap peared poor and squalid, depressingly wretched; Its streets wero foul nnd tho Plaza do la Llbertad grim mock ery of a nnme was crowded with a throng such as It had never held In O'Reilly's time, n throng of people who were, without exception, gaunt, list less, ragged. There wus no afternoon puradc of finery, no laughter, no noise; tho benches wero full, but their occu pnnts were silent, too sick or too wenk to move. Nor were there nny romping children. Thero were, to besure, vust numbers o undersized figures In tho" squnre, but ono needed to look twice to realize that they were not pygmies or wizened little old folks. It was not strange thnt Jacket had compared them to gourds with legs, for all wero naked, and most of them hnd bodies swollen Into the likeness of pods or calabashes. They looked peculiarly grotesque with their spidery legs and thin fnccs. O'Reilly pnsscd a damp hand across his eyes. "Just Heaven 1" ho breathed. "She she's ono of these!" Tho rccohcentrndos overran Mntan zns In nn unclean swnrm; streets nnd plazas wero congested with them, for no nttempt wns mndo to confine them to their quarters. Morning brought them streaming down from tho sub urban slopes where they lived, evening sent them winding back; their dnys were spent In an aimless search for food.- They snntched at crumbs and combed the gutters for crusts. How they mnnnged to exist, whence came tho food thut kept life In their miser ablo bodies, was a mystery, even to the citizens of the city; no organized effort had been mado to caro for them nnd there wns Insufficient surplus food for half their number. Yet somehow they lived nnd lingered on. At tho time of O'Reilly's arrival the sight presented by theso Innocent vic tims of war was appalling; It roused In him n dull red rago nt tho power which hnd wrought this crime nnd nt tho men who permitted It to continue. Spnln was n Christian nation, he re flected; shu had set up moro crosses than nny other, nnd yet beneath them she hnd butchered moro people than all tho nations of tho earth combined. This monstrous, coldly calculating ef fort to destroy tho entlro Cuban people seemed to him tho blackest Infamy of nil, and ho wondered if it would bo al lowed to succeed. Fortunately for the two friends, Gen eral Bctancourt's generosity served to relievo them from nny Immediate dan ger of starvation. After making n few purchases nnd eating with the utmost frugality, they begnn their senrcn. Later they stretched themselves out to sleep on the stones beneath tho portales of tho railroad station. They spent a horrid, hnrrowlng night, for now tho general distress was brought homo to them moro polgnnnt ly than ever. At dawn they learned that thoso pcoplo wero nctunlly dying of neglect. Tho fnlnt light betrayed the prescuco of new corpses lying upon tho stntlon flagstones. From thoso still living, groans, sighs, sick muttcrlngs roso until O'Reilly llnnlly dragged .his youthful companion out of. tho plnce. (TO BE CONTINUHD.)
