AN INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER.
FROSTBURG MD SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1898.

soon after my deportation, having been
landed at one of the TWO ports here and
finding the Nrrtchcd town life not to my
taste, ! wandered away to the cmincnce
known as th1 Crystal hill, from the sum-
init Of which could look out over the
desolate So: and the forest intervening be-
tween it and the plantations These and
the town lay on the plain eastward of the
hill Some distance down it's western
slope | found the yawning mouth of a
cave open in the direction of the sea, it's
farther end somewhere within the bowels
of the earth. II was large and dry, with
immense natural pillars supporting a roof
hung with stalactites, while II stream Of
clear water issued from its uncxplored in
terror. In its outer chamber l hung q
hammock. II fire of gum wood dispensed
warmth and perfume when the nights
were chill. and thought should be CON
tent here for u month at least, or until I
could venture back to Havana
l had money and firearms, and provi-
sions were daily supplied me by a faithful
islander whom | had bcfricndcd in former
times In the surrounding forest were
many plants and animals which could
afford me sustenancc if my supply from
town were to he cut off, and | lacked only
companionship to make me perfectly con-
tented
Ii only Olivia were herc-Olivia, my
flanccc! II had but married her before
this unfortunate affair! But, no; this was
no place for u tendcrly nurturcd woman
like the daughter of the alcalde of San
Cristobal
! sat in the caves mouth one day at
noon The heat of the plains was most
oppressive, but breeze from the ocean
stirred the leaves of the pines. But for
their signing there was no sound to dis
turb the dcathlikc calm till an unfamiliar
clashing of branches caused me to start
and reach out for my rifle, leaning against
a rock nearby.
Distracted as l was | expected nothing
less than visit from the Spanish volun-
tccrs who guarded the island, but, look
ing up, saw before me the figure of a
girl She was comcly and her face shone
with intelligence. yet knew that she be-
longcd to the serving class. 1t was indeed
Carmca, the devoted maid of my fianccc
She smiled and held out folded paper.
At first my bcwildcred senses could hardly
accept this token of her existence. My
vision was blurred. the scene before mo
swan in mist. But, murnuring vague
ly my thanks, l took the letter. opened it
and read:
My father has driven me from his house.
Do you love me =? will you welcome me? am
near. OLIVIA.
turned to the maid "Whcrc--whcre
is she:' | demanded lcaping from my
hammock. The girl shrugged her shoul-
ders and pointed to the pines on the brow
of the hill, but vouchsafcd me no other re-

tant. Then, shaking finger at me with
playful gesture, she said: ''Oh, Felipe
you did not think l would come, now did
you? And now that have come, do you
not think me oycrbold, or are you glad to
sec me, to have me bide awhile with you?
Now, as to the hcrcafter-wcll, we must
allow events to shape our course. Now
lead me to your cavern. l am tired
faint
While the maid set the cave in order and
my beloved rcclined in my hammock, l
prepared n simple rcpast, which, with cool
water from spring that gushcd from the
hillside near, l soon set before her.
After she had partakcn and had been re-
freshcd by siesta, she joined me at tho
caves mouth, where we sat hand in hand
until the plain below was all in shadow,
only the white trunks of the palms stand
ing out pallid rs ghosts in the gathering
gloom.
During the week that followed Olivia
and her maid occupied the inner chamber
of the cave, which was sacred to their
privacy, while guarded the caves mouth
and the outer room. We both knew well
our lives were in the hands of the authori-
ties when her father, Don Amadco should
overcome his pride and command the in
evitablc search for his daughter. 1t could
not bc long deferred, and so we lived in
daily apprehension of capture and separa-
tion, yet were happy.
The knowledge of impending sorrow
only gave present joys keencr zcst. 1t
seemed impossible to escape from the is
land, closely guarded as 1t was. Yet
made my preparations Far down below
us was the solitary shore of IA landlockcd
bay, beyond which were innumcrable Gays
and still farther off the ocean. Neither SEA
nor shore was often visited, save now and
then by smugglcr or filibuster
Every day at sunrise, Olivia and her
maid accompanying, went down To the
landlockcd harbor and worked upon u
great raft of bamboo, which when finished
l launched and anchored In the placid bay
behind the coral r,cfs Day by day there
after during the whole of Christmas week
| carried down provisions, clothing, arms
and ammunition until at last our frail
craft was laden with everything necessary
for voyage
Four days passed after we were ready
before We saw n sail upon the ocean. IL
was late in the afternoon OF the last day Of
December when, sitting In the shade of the
cave, Olivia pointed out IA spcck upon the
waves. She looked long and earnestly,
then said, DEAREST. II is IA ship, and n is
Ioming toward our island "
"Will you vcnturcY" / asked
Certainly, " she answered, smiling into
my eyes. But first let us be indeed suro
it is approaching"
ID drew nearer, nearer, rising higher,
higher, until, as the sun sank behind the
hill crest, the white sails were illumincd
by its rays. Then, no longer doubtful, we
went nt once TO the shore. but as we en-

When pretty Edith Bascom married John
Rodgers, every one in Pope Hollow lifted
his hands in astonishmcnt. Edith was
just turning 20, intelligent, industrious
and womanly, and withal us pretty as any
girl in the village. John was rough, un-
couth farmer Il widowcr of 80, who pos
seSScd nothing to recommend him save a
small farm adjoining the village, an old
white horse and IL COW and a calf.
Why Edith Bascom should have married
John Rodgers no one in the village could
determine, but that they We're duly mar
ricd and had lived together to all appear
anccS happily was an established fact and
had been such for nearly year The
women folks in Pope Hollow frequently
expressed their sympathies for Edith and
commented at great length upon the faults
of Farmer Rodgers, dwelling continually
upon the fact that he was a very tight
listed, economical old fellow, who rarely
gave his young wife a dollar for her per
sOnal use.
Notwithstanding these remarks from
the village gossips, Edith appeared salts
fed with her choice, loved the seclusion of
