sadly replied Haas. could that blood
stained covering be removed, am as
sured it would disclose the features Of
the bravest patriot Cuba ever knew,
jose Calvol''
Yes, it was the remains of the noble
hero which the soldiers were bearing In
triumph to their general.
AS the crowd passed on and disap-
peared tears filed the eyes of the three
watchers, and the venerable don was
heard to hiss between his clenched
teeth:
His death shall be terribly avenged"
1t was, indeed. The arms and am
munition which the patriot was the
means of keeping from the Spaniards
went far to equip the brave army which
swept down from the hills a few weeks
later and struck terror and cohsterna-
ton to the hearts of the SpanisI. SOL
diers.
But as history has shown us, the in
surrection proved futile. The insur-
gents were overwhelmed in numbers
and forced to disband and scatter hither
and thither to save their lives.
Don Manuel Ceballos with his brave
son and beautiful daughter, accom-
panied by Valdes Haas, fed to Jamaika
and thence to the United States, where
in the land of liberty the Cuban father
placed the hand of his child in that of
her lover and blessed their union.
The fate of Felipe Coras, the spy,
the recreant Cuban, is enshrouded in
mystery, but it is safe to say that he
did not live to work further harm to Ills
countrymen. His name never srests
upon the lips of the various actors in
this drama, his very memory is allowed
to die out, while that of the hero, Jose
Calvo, will ever live In the hearts of. his
cormpatriots, as one who in the hour Of
her greatest need gladly ''DIED FOR
CUBA"

claimed Ceballos.
mo, senior! One life, II 1t must be

los in flesh and blood can do more for
Cuba than Francisco Ceba1los in his
coffin" So saying, the noble fellow
picked up a case of cartridges and hur>
ried with them through the jungle to
the boat, leaving Francisco and Valdes
Hazas to follow with heavier chest of
rifles.
When both burdens had been deposit
ed in the little craft, Jose hesitated a
moment ere he followed them, and
turning, grasped the hands of his two
friends, while in a voice husky with
emotion he said:
Comrades, go to meet these Span
ish soldiers, and If it lies in my power,
will lure them to distance, both
from this island and the rendezvous on
the mainland It will be necessary for
you here to work quickly to save the
arms and ammunition which still re-
main hidden in the jungle. If you sec

calmly folding his arms across his mas

'And you have deceived us. Misled

what is of more value at the present
time, the munitions of war sent to us by

The Spaniard was fairly beside him
self with rage and disappointment
''Shoot down the dog!' he exclaimed
to his soldiers.
A half-score Of rifles belched forth
their deadly fire in unison; but smile
broke over the martyrs face, and ex-
tending one hand toward heaven, he
murmured:
t'Jose, the last of the Calvo's, dies for
Cuba!''
Then he sank 1feless to the ground.
Thus expired one of the grandest and
noblest sons Of freedom, whose memory
is held ever sacred by the patriots Of the
queen of the Antilles.

CHAPTER VIII
DIED FOR CuBA.

With painful anxiety our friends at
Key Francis watched the sun pursue its
diurnal course, and never had the great
luminary seemed to traverse its path
across the heavens SO slowly. AL day
long sharp lookout was kept from the
branches Of a lofty mango tree, but no
signs of the dreaded enemy were des-
cried.
The afternoon was waning as the
large sugar lighter lad received its val
liable load and at the very moment
when the martyred Cuban fell nfeless
to the ground, his blood dyeing the
greensward of his native land, the sail
was hoisted and the craft bore away for
the mainland, taking an easterly direc-
ton.
The night that followed was all that
the Cubans could have desired, for it
was very dark and the sky overcast,
but they had good pilot who guided
his boat skillfully and safely to the
place of landing, which was a good
thirty miles from where the baf1ed
Spanish soldiers were tuning with rage.
II would give half my fortune to be
assured of the fate Of Jose Calvo," re-
marked Francisco. eyes, and the other
half if it could save him from our cne-
my, but I fear that ere this he has
fallen a victim to our cruel and merci-
less foe.''
81 will go to Caibarien, Francisco"
said Valdes, land perchance / may
learn something of the noble fellow"
'Do so, my friend" was the reply;
land here is an address where you will
find my father and, possibly, Isabel.
All! see how it is" quickly laughed
the young patriot, as he observed the
crimson tinge overspreading the checks
| of his companion.
"And, Valdes, you are worthy of her,
| and when these stirring times are
passed neither the don or myself will
throw any obstacle in your path. Now
| go, Nnd by all means be cautious.
| While you are absent 1 will endeavor
| to have these munitions of war trans
ported to our friends in the interior"
1t was with a light heart that the
| young man mounted horse and rode
| toward the city. He, however, did not
deem it prudent to enter its precincts
| before morning, so he checked his ami
| mails pace that he might arrive at the
break of day.
| Haas rode slowly through the mar
row streets and proceeded at once to
| the address which Francisco had fur
nished him, where he received hearty
welcome from the gray-haired Cuban
and his lovely daughter who was with
him.
AS the young man was relating the
incidents which had befallen his party
during the last twenty-four hours, loud
| cries were heard in the streets, and
looking from the window they saw a
dense crowd Of people surrounding a
little band of soldiers who were bearing
upon their shoulders the body of a man

In the Matter of Delinauent Taxes,

Assistant Attorney S. 7. Thomas has for
warded to the Commissioners an opinion in
which he states that he does not consider that
section of the act of March 3, 1891, author
ICES the imposition of penalty of 10 per cent.
in addition to the total amount of taxes, in
terest, snd costs. Heretofore bills have been
rendered by the special assessment division
on which interest is claimed at the rate of 10
per cent. per aDnum and penalty of 10 per
cent. in addition. The refusal Of the people
to pay the duplicate penalty led to the request
for an opinion The language there shall be
added penalty of 10p per cent. to be calcula-
ted on all sums due, Mr.. Thomas says, means
that all taxes due prior to July l, 1889, which
shall not have been paid with interest at 6 per
cent. on the 3Oth of June, 1891, shall be col
lected with interest and penalties as before
the passage of the act of March 8, 1891. The
object of this law, he believes, was relief from
penalties and to hasten payment of delin-
quent taxes by deducting the penalties If the
interest was paid by a certain date and not to
impose new or additional penalties.
