tolms Maso, Vice president Of the
Cuban republic aud a general Of the

landed In this country on Friday night
from the steamer Leon, which arrived
at her wharf last night.
THIS statement Is denied, however, by
Colonel NuneZ, oil the local CubanS, ana
Captain Syanoe, OF the Leon. 1t was
stated on good authority that when she
left that port sho had oil board General

twenty-five years oi age; Dr. Joaquin
CASTILLO, senior Verona, aud twenty-five
other Cubans. The four, 1t is stated,
were coming to this country in
order to aid Delegate Palmato to
present to the American Congress
moro fully the cause OF free Cuba.
While tue Cubans in the United
States desire TO have their case made as
strong as possible when the proper
time comes. they have strongly advised
against General MasSo leaving the ia.

He assisted her into the saddle, and
then turning to him with great crystal
tears in her eyes she said:
May God go with you, Ned, my own
beloved, and may He move my fathers
heart toward you. will pray every

in an agony of suspense and anxiety

and be of good heart"
She galloped away, and with wild
ly beating heart he followed after up
the hill to the fort
Going first to his own quarters he
donned his best uniform, and then al
most trembling at his own assurance,
he crossed the parade-ground to the
headquarters building, entered the
hallway and raped at Col. sanfords
door.
Come in"
That sharp, harsh command burned
the bridge behind him. Retreat was
now impossible, even should he desire
to abandon his mission.
When he entered the room the old
commander was sitting at his desk

tention to his presence. Cap in hand,
his heart almost in his throat. the
young soldier stood in the middle of
the floor for fully two minutes until the
officer had completed the letter upon

Had Brown but known the mood the

Something in the official ranks had an

Uttering the words with a sharp,

leaned back in his chair and regarded
his visitor with a scowl on his face.

shaded path on the bank of the Rio
Grande near the fort, Private Brown
and Alice Sanford walked side by side.
One of her shapely hands held the
bride rein of the pony which followed
behind her. The other was passed be-
meath the arm Of her companion.
Slowly they moved along, their
heads bowed and their every action in
dicating that they were engaged in the
discussion ola topic of no ordinary i'm
port. Taking advantage of the license
granted by the laws of fiction, let us
assume the wings of invisibility and
hover near them and hear what they
are saying.
Il think, Ned, it would be best TO go
right to papa and tell him all. When
he hears your story from your own
lips, reads the letters from your aunt,
her attorneys and from your banker
and the fact is fully established to his
satisfaction that you are worthy of me
and are fully justified in approaching
him on such subject, he may treat
you kindly and interpose no serious OBJ
lection to our love. Indeed, he is not
so hard-hearted as his manner at times
would Indicate"
"And yet fear him, Alice, darling.
No matter what | might prove myself
to be, he would see me but as the pri-
vate soldier. o, these CALLING bonds of
servitude Never before did they so

Bending over her he imprinted low
ing kiss upon her cheek. and she chung
yet closer to him in acknowledgment
of the salute.
And yet he might receive you more
kindly than you anticipate, Ned. Papa
really has warm, sympathetic heart
despite his harshness in enforcing dis
cipline. If you could convince him
that my happiness is at stake and could
bring him to fully understand the depth
and purity of our love, he might at
least sanction our courtship until your
discharge from the service can be Sc
cured. His influence at the war de-
partment may aid you. Won't you see
him, Ned, dear?"
Her eyes were upturned to his with
pleading earnestness, and again press
ing kiss on her responsive lips he re-
piled:
my darling, l will endeavor for the
time to forget that l am private SOL
der, and will go to him as a man to
man, in manly way. If he will but
listen to me to the end he cannot but
see that am worthy of your love, and
if he will allow his wisdom to rule him,
he must see that l make no unreason-
able request in asking him to fully IN
vestigate my past history and to sus-
pend Judgment on what he may term
my assurance until he has done so.'
"Bless you for that determination,
Ned. And when will you see him?'
"At once. AS soon as | can reach
his quarters. Mount your pony and
gallop ahead, darling, and will fol-

the hope that when freed from army
servitude and restored to society he
might WOO me and hope to win my
love. He is too good, too noble, too
manly to ask to be recognized as
sutton for my hand while soldier in
the ranks"
"And did you tell him that you loved
him, child?"
"Why, what else could l do, Mrs.
Colby? Yes, did tell him so, told him
that l madly loved him. and think
will never tire of repeating it to him.
But, my dear friend, it is his wish that
you treat the information conveyed in
his aunt's letter in the strictest conf
dence for the present"
Certainly, dear, and what delicious
secret will have, and how delight
full 1t will be when the denouement
comes to be able to look into the amazed
faces Of the ladies Of the post and
quietly tell them knew IL long ago."
The young lovers little dreamed Of
the difficulties to be encountered in
securing the discharge Of an enlisted
man from the army. Future letters
from Browns aunt detailed the oh
stacles encountered, the disinclinaiton
Of the officials Of the war department
to give the matter attention, yet each
letter bade him hope for more favor
able news In the next. II may be a
vexatious disappointment to the reader
to be here told that every effort to Sc
cure his release utterly failed, and that
he was destined to be a soldier of his
country for years yet to come.
Several months passed. Alo-g .
