Norlne roHO, her fucc nglow with
now strength, now determination. "I
brought you hnck when you were nil
hiit gone. I Raved you nfter tho others
una given you tip, and now you ur
jn I no to do with ns I pleuse. You be
Hong to mo and I shn'n't coiihuII you."
J She turned, for it figure had dark
ened the door; It wns one of Iter Eng-'llsh-speuklng
convalescents who wus
noting as n wort of orderly.
1 "Scnorlta," the mnn Paid, with n
flnsh of white teeth, "we have another
.nick man, nnd you'd never guess who.
Sit in that Amcrlenn, Kl Uemonlo "
I "Is ho Blck or wounded?" Estcbnn
inquired.
I "Shot hy n Spanish bullet. Ho asked
t once for our Konorltn."
"Of course. I'll conic In an Instant."
I When the messenger had gone Norlne
bent and pressed her lips to Estebnn's.
"Ilcineuihcr, you're mine to do with ns
I please," she Raid ; then she fled down
itho grassy street
Branch wns wnltlng nt Norlne'a
qnnrtcrs, n soiled figure of dejection.
His left arm lay In a sling across his
breast. He looked up nt her npproach,
but sho scarcely recognized Lira, so
greatly changed wns he.
J "Hello, Norlne I" ho cried. "Well,
ithey got me."
: Norlne paused In astonishment.
J "Why, Leslie I I wns so frightened I
IBut you enn't be hudly hurt."
"Bnd enough so Hint Lopez sent me
In. A fellow gets flyblown If ho stnys
Jn the field, bo I heat It."
"nna your nrm been dressed?"
"No. I wouldn't let these rough-ami-'tumble
doctors touch It. They'd umpu
itnte nt the shoulder for a hangnnll. I
don't trust 'em."
"Then I'll look nt It."
"It doesn't hurt, really," he declared.
'"It's only n scratch."
J "Then behavo yourself." Norlne
tforccd the patient Into n chair nnd
withdrew his nrm from the sling.
(Then, despite his weak resistance, sho
ideftly removed the bandage. From
jhls expression she felt sure that sho
jnunt be hurting him, but when tho
injury wns exposed sho looked up In
iwondcrment.
"Leslie 1" she exclaimed. "What In
the world "
Branch struggled with himself, ho
nwnllowed hard, then sold: "You can
nee now why I didn't go to a doctor; I
,dld It shot myself. You won't givo
mo away?"
Norlne scntcd herself weakly; sho
tared In bewilderment nt the unhappy
speaker. "Afraid? You, Kl Demonlol
(Why, you nrcn't nfrald of anything I"
) "Say! You don't believe nil that
stuff, do you? I'm afraid of my shadow
and always have been. I'm not brave
nnd never wns. They told mo I was
going to dlo and It senred me so thut
I tried to end things quickly. I
couldn't benr to dlo slowly, to know
that I wns dying by Inches. But, Lord I
,lt scared mo even worso to go Into
battle. I was blind with fright all tho
time und I never got over it. Why,
the Bight of n gun gives me a chill, and
I Jump every time one goes off. Lord 1
Itow I've suffered I I went crnzy at our
first engagement crnzy with fenr. I
didn't know where I wns, or what hap
pened, or anything. Afterward, when
,they untied me as a here,-1 thought
they wero kidding, that everybody
must know how frightened I was.
'After n time I saw thnt I'd fooled them,
and thnt shamed me. Then I hnd to
koep It up or become ridiculous. But
It nenrly killed me."
It so happened thnt the president
and well-nigh the entire provision
cabinet were In Cubitus. Leslie and
Norlne went directly to the former. He
promptly sent for the mlnlstor of Jus
tice, who In turn gallantly put himself
nt Norlne's disposal. In no tlmo the
news hnd spread and there was sub
dued excitement throughout the camp.
Norlne was between tears and laughter
when sho ran panting Into Estebau's
cabin, leaving Branch to wait outside.
At sight of her Estehan uttered a
low cry of happiness. "Dearest I I've
been lying In n stupor of delight. The
world has become bright. I hear people-
laughing. What n change l"
"Pvo arranged everything ! Tho pres
ident and his cabinet are coming to
witness the ceremony."
Estcbnn poised upon his elbow, his
face wns n study. "What have you ar
ranged?" ho managed to Inquire.
"Sh-hl" Norlne laid a linger upon
his lips. "Tho guest of tho republic is
to bo mnrrlcd today."
"Norlnol Oh, my dear" quavered
tho sick man. "I can't let you do this
mad thing. Think 1 I'm ready for tho
grave "
"This will make you well. Wo'ro go
ing away when tho very next expedi
tion arrives."
"I haven't tho strength to refuse,"
JKstebnn murmured. "And yet, how
can I leave Cuba? What right havo I
jto accept happiness and lenvo Itosa "
This was a subject which Norlne
dreaded, n question to which sho know
no nnswer. She was not in a mood to
discuss It, nnd miule no attempt to do
bo. Instead, she laid tho Invalid upon
his pillow, saying:
"Lesllo la waiting to wish you Joy
nnd it quick recovery, May I usk him
UxV
She stepped to the door, only to be
hold her Into companion making off
down tho vlllnge street In great hnsto
nnd evident excitement. Approaching
between tho drunken rows of grass
huts was n little knot of people. .Even
us Nnrlno watched it grew Into it con
siderable crowd, for men and women
and children came hurrying from .their
tasks. There were three figures in tho
lead, n mnn and two boys, and they
walked tslowly, plodllngIy,,us If weary
from n long march.
"Estehan 1" Norlne cried In n voice
sho scarcely recognized. She retreated
Into the doorway with one hnnd upon
her leaping heart. "Estehan I Look I
They're coming hero t Yes I It's lt'H
O'ltclllyl"
Young Varona struggled from his
hammock. "Itosa I" ho called, loudly,
"Itosa 1"
bare came u shadow, then In the
doorway the figure of n man, it tattered
scarecrow of a man whoso feet were
bare nnd vhoso brown calves were ex
posed through Happing rags. Ills breast
was naked where thorns hnd tried to
stay him; his beard, even his hair,
were matted and unkempt, and the
mud of many trulls luy caked upon his
garments.
It wasO'Itelllyl
Dumb with umnzement, blind with
tears, Norlne found herself staring up
ward Into his face, and hoard 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 ut
her.
The story of Rosa's rescue came
slowly and In fragments, for the news
of O'ltcllly'a return caused n sensa
tion. Ills recital was Interrupted many
times. "As n matter of fact, our get
away was ridiculously easy," he said,
"for we hail luck at every turn regu
lar Irish luck. I made Morln Inde
pendent for life, but It wasn't the
money, It was Jacket who Induced him

to bring us clear to Turlgunno. Me
Innded us one night, this side of the
Moron trochn. Since then we've wnded
swamps to our urmplts, we've fought
the Jungle nnd chewed bark but wo'ro
here." Johnnie heaved u deep sigh of
relief.
"Where did you get tho money to
hire schooners and corrupt captains?"
Branch Inquired.
O'Reilly hesitated; ho lowered hl.s
voice- to n whisper. "Wo found tho
Varona treasure."
Norlno uttered n cry. "Not Don Es
tcbnn s treasure?"
"Exactly. It was In the well where
young Estehan told us it wns."
Johnnie produced from his pocket n
handful nt coins.
Branch's eyes bulged, ho touched n
gold piece respectfully, weighed It cure
fully, then pressed It to his lips. Ho
nibbed It ngalnst his cheeks nnd in his
hair; he placed It between his teeth
and bit It.
"It's renll" he cried. "Now let mo
look nt tho Jewels."
"Rosn has them. She's wenrlng them
on her hnck. nunched bncks oru lucky,
you know ; hers Is worth a fortune."
"Why, this bents tho 'Arabian
Nights 1'" Norlno gasped.
. "It beats" Branch pnused, then
wagged Ida bend wurnlngly nt the girl.
"I don't bellevo n word of It nnd you
mustn't."
Then Johnnlo told tho story. When
ho hnd finished there was n long mo
ment of silence. Then Norlne qua
vered tremulously: "Thnt boy! That
blessed boy!"
"It's nil too weirdly Improbable,"
O'Reilly smiled, "but nsk Bosu or
Jacket tho boy Is bursting to tell
Boino one. He nearly died becnuso ho
couldn't brag about It to Captain Mo
rln, and thero won't bo any holding
him now. I'm nfrald he'll tip off the
news about that treasure In spite of all
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 me
about yourseh'cs, about Estehan. I ex
pected to find him well. What nils
him?"
"Oh, Johnnie!" Norlne began. "He's
very 111. He Isn't getting well. Help
me, Johnnie I Help me to get him
home "
"Of course I will. We'll tnke him
nnd Itosa away where they can forget
Cuba and all the misery It has caused
them. We'll make him well don't
worry."
O'ltellly saw little of hi sweetheart
that day, for Norlne promptly bore the
girl off to her own quarters and thero
attended to her needs, the most press
ing of which wus clothing.
Whllo O'Reilly wns similarly en
gaged In making himself presentable,
ho nnd Brnnch talked earnestly, with
the result thnt they repaired later to
General Gomez. O'Reilly concluded by
saying:
"I've done what I came to do, sir, but
Miss Varona Is bndly shaken by nil she
hns been through. She's very nervous
nnd far from well. Estehan, too, Isn't
recovering."
General Gomez nodded. "Miss Evans
declares ho must havo a chnnge, and
we have nrrnnged to send him out of
tho country. Ills sister, poor child,
should go, too."
"They should go nt once," O'Reilly
snld, positively. "Thatfs why wo cumo
to see you. Let us Branch nnd me
tnke nil thrco of them to tho United
States."
"But how? How ran you tnko two
women nnd n sick man "
"We'll miinngo somehow." O'Reilly
declared. "It Isn't fur across to tho
Bahama Banks. I'll ugrco to come
back If you so desire."
Gomez shook his white bend. "No I
You came to find nnd save your fiancee,
nnd you volunteered to servo with us
whllo you were doing so. Wo have no
desire to keep nny man against his will.
Some one must escort Miss Evuns, who
In our guest. Why not you two?
"I wns looking forwnrd to an Inter
esting ceremony this nftcrnoon," Go
mez went on. "nas your arrival
changed tho plans?"
"Oh nn, sir!" O'Reilly snld, quickly.
"I'd like to make it doubly interesting,
If Miss Varona will consent to bucIi
short notice."
"Bravo I You have n way of doing
the unexpected. Why not? I don't
think Miss Varona will have It In her
heart to refuso you anything."
Tho old soldier wns right. Rosa did
not gainsay her lover, nnd townrd sun
down the city among tho leaves wit
nessed an unaccustomed scene.
Rosn, very dainty In her borrowed
nurse's uniform, was round-eyed,
timid; sho evoked much admiration,
but when she was addressed as Senora
O'Reilly Bho blushed to tho roots of
her hair and shrank close to her hus
band's side. Brunch proved to bo a
happy choice as Esteban's proxy, for
ho relieved Norlne's anxiety and smoth
ered hpr apprehensions.
When Rosa and O'Reilly returned to
Esteban's cnbln they found Norlno
ahead of them. Sho was kneeling bo
Blde tho sick man's hammock, and
through tho doorway camo the low, In
timate murmur of their voices. Rosa
drew her husband nwuy, whispering,
happily:
"He will get well. God nnd thnt won
derful girl won't let him die."
CHAPTER XXII.
The Rainbow's End.
Tho Journey to tho const was made
by easy stages nnd Estehan stood It
fairly well. Jacket, of course, went
nlong. Upon tho announcement of
O'Reilly's Intended departure for tho
States ho had promptly nbnn-lnncd
Culm to her fate. He foreswore her
utterly nnd declnrcd himself u loyal
American citizen.
Relying upon tho best Information
obtalnablo ut Cubltas, O'Reilly bad
counted upon securing n sailboat from
a certain fisherman whoso sympathies
were known to bo loyal, but In this ho
was disappointed. Tho party arrived
nt Its destination, n tiny clearing on
an unfrequented part of tho north
shore, only to find It deserted nnd al
ready grown to weeds. The house wns
empty, tho boats were gone all but
ono old hulk, too rotten tp warrant
moving, which lay high up on the sand,
Its planks worm-eaten, its seams wldo
spread by tho sun.
O'Reilly was In n quandary. Ho
gravely douhted Eeteban's ability to
Btnnd tho rough return Journey, nnd
when ho spoke to Norlno of turning
oacK sno was panic-stricken nt tho sug
gestion. "No, no 1" eho cried, anxiously. "Wo
must got him uway. His heart Is set on
going through nud it would kill him
to go back'."
"Then I guess W0'U havo to go
through," ho fitnlled.
For tho first tlmo In their ncqunlnt
nnco Norlno lost control of herself,
"Promlso thnt you won't go back,"
sho Implored him.
"Very well, If you'll consent to risk
this miserable tub wo found on the
beach--"
"I'll risk nnythltig n raft, even. Is
there un even chance of our getting
across?"
"Perhaps. It nil depends upon the
weather."
When morning camp O'Reilly made a
closer examination of the abandoned
boat. The lesult wns not encouraging,
but he determined to make use of It,
and the crazy craft was launched. It
wits necessary to handle her gingerly,
and when she toolc the water she leak
ed abominably. But during the night
she swelled and In the morning It was
possible to ball her out.
From the point of 1 roving It wns per
haps five miles across the sound to the
fringe of keys which In this neighbor
hood bordered the old Bahama chan
nel with Its unplumbed depths of blue
water. Here It was calm, so the run
was soon made.
When the coastline of Culm had be
come u blur astern Ron crept back
and seated herself beside her husband.
"How much I love you," she whispered.
"But I never can tell you, for we are
never nlone. Was there ever such a
courtship, such u marriage, nnd such n
wedding Journey us ours?"
It proved to be n long, long night, for
tho bont, though roomy, was uncom
fortable. Daylight brought an In-
crensed breeze which heeled the bort
further. Fortunately tho haze was not
thick enough to wholly obscure the sun
and so O'Reilly wus enabled to hold his
course. But ho did not like the look
of things. In time there came u spite
ful drizzle which completely hid tho
sun nnd left m Indication of the course
except the direction whence drove the
rain.
No one spoke now. Even Estcbnn lay
silent, shivering miserably upon his
sodden bed. Rosn finally straightened
her aching back und smiled nt her hus
band. "Arc we going down?" she asked.
"Oh no I This Is merely n squall," he
told her, with an assumption of confi
dence ho was far from feeling.
Deliverance came suddenly, and from
the least-expected quarter. Out of the
mist to starboard thero materialized a
shape, n schooner driving ahead of the
wind. The refugees descried her simul
taneously nnd stood ankle deep In the
wash, waving their hats nnd their cala
bashes, and shouting crnzlly until she
saw them and fetched up.
There wus n bubble of volcs shout
ed questions, hysterlcnl answers. Itosa
was weeping softly; Norlne hnd lifted
Estebnn nnd no clutched him tight,
whllo her tenrs fell upon his face.
The schooner wus n sponger bound
for Nassau; Its blackbird crew spoke
English nnd they willingly helped the
strangers overside, luughlng und shout
ing In n childlike display of excitement.
Soon there wns hot food nnd coffee,
dry beds nnd blunkets for those who
needed them.
Johnnie tucked his bride snugly Into
one of the hard berths, then stooped
nnd kissed her. Rosa's teeth were
chattering, but she smiled happily.
"God's hand directed us," sho enltL

Tho visitor wns being conducted
through a state institution for the
insano and his guldo wus un uffablo
young man from the harmless wurd
whose keen Intelligence made the vis
itor wonder why he was under re
straint. Stopping In front of a padded cell,
they looked at a Ktout, short Individ
ual with u forelock draped over ono
cyo nnd a poso charucterlstlcally
Napoleonic.
"Thinks he's the Little Corporal,
eh?" the visitor nsked of the guide.
"Yea; he's had that hallucination
for five years."
Across tho corridor in another cell
wns an old mnn poring over u num
ber of bine prints.
"Wlmt's the mutter with him?"
"Poor chap," laughed the guide; "ho
thinks that he has Invented u submarine-proof

Is honeycombed with holes; when tho
war-head of tho torpedo strikes, It
goes into ono of tho holes and is held

"Hut," objected tho visitor, "suppose
tho torpedo strikes between the
holes?"
"In that case," said the guldo as ho
shook with laughter, "It wouldu't
count and tho submurino would bo en
titled to another try."
In the Inst cell was a middle-aged
mun at a high desk. Ho looked up us
the others upprouched und nodded
smilingly.
"What's tho rantter with him?"
queried the visitor.
"Him? He's hopeless; ho believes
that ho Is nn authority on Income-tax
legislation."
"Ah," sold tho visitor, "and ho
isn't?"
"No, Indeed I" replied tho guldo; "I

"One only needs to pray long enough
and strong enough and he will hear."
It was n month Inter. Quaint old Nas
sau lay dozing under nn afternoon sun.
Up from the beach came O'Reilly and
ills youthful alter ego, Jncket. They
were clad In clean white clothes; n
month of rest had done them good.
Jacket was no longer wizened ; he was
plump und sleek und ns full of mischief
us a colt, while O'Reilly's leanness
bud disappeared nnd he tilled his gar
ments ns n man should.
They turned In through a plctfct gate
and up n walk. At the-end stood n not
tage with wide riches hidden beneath
Jasmine nnd honeysuckle and morning
glory vines.
"Look, Rosnl" Jacket lifted the
heavy string of fish. "Wo hud stu
pendous luck." But Rosn was In her
husband's urms nnd neither she nor
O'Reilly hnd eyes for anything but
each other.
Rosa had vastly changed. She wns
clud In a charming little muslin dress,
there were dimples In her cheeks, she
wore u heavy Marechal Nell bud at her
breast. O'Reilly held her off and de
voured her with his eyes.
"Sweetheart, you grow fresher and
more beautiful every hour," said he.
Rosa danced upon her toes, and
tugged nt him. "But come quickly and
see the surprise we have. I've been
wild for your return, so hurry." She
led him swiftly up the steps, nnd there,
standing beside n chnlr, was Estehan
Vnronn, "lie dressed himself und
wnlked out here nlone. He's well !"
"Estehan 1 Really"
The brother nodded decisively. "It's
true. I rebelled at last. Tomorrow I'll
wall: to the gate and the next day we'll
go fishing. Here's n letter from Leslie,
by the way. There's one bit of news;
he says the talk of Intervention In
creases nnd he may have to return to
Cuba us n war correspondent.
"Intervention! That would be line,"
Estebnn cried.
O'Reilly nodded. "Oh. It's bound to
come, and when Uncle Sam takes hold
Cuba will be free."
Norlne ugreed: "I'm sure of It. And
then we'll nil go hnck to our rain
bow's end und dig for that pot of gold."
Estebnn turned udorlng eyes upon
the speaker; he took her hand in his.
"I've found my rainbow's end," snid
he.
"And I've found mine," O'Reilly as
serted. "I've gained your father's treas
ure, nnd more I've found the prize of
nil the Indies." With his nrm nbout
Rosa ho drew her Into the house.
Estebnn lowered himself Into his
chair und Norlne rested herself upon
Its nrm. He lny back with eyes closed.
From the regions nt the rear came tho
voice of Jacket. The boy was In n
declamatory mood. He had gathered
an nudlence, ns wns his dnlly custom,
nnd was addressing them In English:
"I (killed more'n n dozen Spaniards

rights I should have been made u geu

(TnE END.)
The French Tricolor.
The Tricolor, the French nntlonnl
standard of blue, white und red, di
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1780 the
leaf plucked by Camllle Desmoullns
in the garden of the Palais Royal he
enmo a rallying sign, and green wns
to be adopted as tho national color;
but, remembering thnt green wns the
color of the hated Prince d'Artols, they
rejected It on the following day.
They at first chose, Instead, blue and
red, tho colors of the city of Paris,
and inter added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the nntlonnl guard. This new standard
wus adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking of tho Bastlle,
Ballly nnd Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI tho three-colored cocard as a
badge of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Tricolor originated as the
symbol of tho liberty of the French
nation, nnd it continued ns such even
when nfterwnrd the "reconciliation"
with the king ended with ills decapita
tion. This Swindler Up to Dare.

produces a roll of money, und states
that ho won this by his fore-knowledge
of tho winners on tho track. Ho
then suggests that his friend test Ids
