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

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.
