The San Francisco call., 1898-08-14

There was a flash, sharp cry and the captain lost his hold and with a pitiful cry fell back into the canyon, dead.
 The spy replaced his smoking revol- yer in his belt and rapidly retraced his steps and reached the top of the can yon once more. The idea came to him on his upward path that some one might have seen his act. He leaned over the side of the canyon and watched intently, with his pistol in his ready hand Woe to any one who then manifested life in the depth of the can von. 1t(S spaniard, American or Cuban would have fared alike The only thought of the spy was to destroy any witness who might yet arise to tell or his awful crime. All the troopers were seemingly dead. In truth they were all dead with the exception of the two American boys and they were uncon- scious of all that was happening.

An, well, it cannot be helped now. will now take possession of Julia With her as prisoner and with my knowl- edge of the secrets of the Cubans I will yet be a great man. First to see that the girl does not escape me-"
 Ramirez reached the abandoned Spanish camp, expecting to find Julia there He could hardly believe his eyes when he saw that she was not. Where was she? Had she witnessed the kill ing of the Spanish captain? Of all per- sons on earth she was the most dan gerous to his existence at this time She knew of his treachery to the cause of Cuba. He had sat quietly by, giv- ing no warning when his countrynen had rushed forward to their doom. He was a double traitor-and she knew it.
 His first thought was to seek her. His second was that she might even now enraged by his acts, be in ambush, ready to shoot him down. He mounted the 9eetest horse and turned to flee He must put miles between himself and the girl before she could arouse the whole countryside to hunt him. He had given no mercy and well he knew

culiar costumes. were spending their leisure hours in indulging in favorlte pastime. Then the scene, like that on the kinetoscope, was taken from her. She was in the parlor again, yet It seemed as if she had not been outsiue of the room for she had been slttlhs there all the while. :.
 It had then been early morning. t was now darkest night. Through tns room from the piano came the Welu strains of the Witches Dance, as half dozen witches flew in through tnc window astride broomsticks. The moot was half hidden behind the c!0uus a,ou the wind blew rather loudly. The fos bush outside the window rattleu anu swayed. Then they built fire rlght III the middle of the floor, but it did not burn the carpet. They fetched in great logs and built the fire high until lt roared and cracked, and still the pldno played. What oddly beautiful music, yet 1t seemed distorted with aVarlce and secret plotting. It crashed and hummed and sighed, and they gnashed their teeth and danced peculiarly ana hopped and jumped about the ire. Then they put in queer-smelling herbs and the whole room was filled Wltn blue smoke. And then they d1sap- peared.
 Now she was in Norway, yet she did not move from her chair. It was win ter day and the snow fell thick and fast Outside all was white and cold; inside the fire roared with satisfaction. Scandinavian mother was rock ing her little girl to sleep. Such a fat, rosy, good d-natured little flaxen- haired baby with big, blue eyes. It had on a thick blue wool coat and little white cap, which 1t wore almost all the time It's mother had it hugged up close in her great, strong arms ana it's little head lay comfortably on her shoulder It was going to sleep, for the piano was playing McDowelTs "SIumber Song''-that most lovely or all cradle songs-and Elvira was fas- cinated with it's deep and mellow meio- dies, so newly changing and express ively beautiful. She heard the mother singing

 But the piano does 1t all; 1t did 1t all then, and the scene faded out or sight
 She was back in her own country now. It was in New York, for she heard the organ grinder playing Down in Front of Casey's" Her room was so bare and small. The piano was playing ..The Sidewalks of New York" but she couldn't see it anywhere. She was liv- ing in a tenement house. Her small room had no carpet on the floor, and there was only one window to 1t, and that opened on Mrs. ORourke's shanty, in the back, where the clothes

that he need not expect any mercy at the hands of the Cubans when they learned the truth about him. He thought no more of his personal ad- vantage; safety was his first and only aim now.
 When he had departed, forth crept Julia from her place of concealment. There she had seen all that had taken place. She made her way easily down to the bottom of the canyon, taking the most dangerous but quickest way. There might remain life in some of the unfortunate men. She had no thought of her own danger; her duty was to reach the wounded as soon as possible. Tears flowed down her cheeks and stifing sobs shook her frame as she found her dead friends. But she went resolutely forward, feeling for flut- tering pulse listening for the feeble beat of a heart; smoothing tenderly the hair from the foreheads of dead Cuban patriots; sobbing as she found them-father brother, cousin, friends all dead-all except Binnie and Ned. She at first thought that the two Amer jeans were dead. Upon the lips of each of the devoted band of patriots she placed a kiss of farewell.

curiously from above, his wicked eyes sparkling with a baleful light. No sign betrayed his presence to the cap tain; no hand was stretched forth to help him, although 1t was evident to the spy that the captain was badly hurt. Slyly, like some loathsome beast of prey, the spy now began to descend the trail to the bottom of the canyon, a path which few knew. Half way up the dizzy wall of the canyon the cap tain was clinging to a projecting bush, which was stained with his blood; there he was striving to rest that he might go on upward. Before him, face to face, suddenly stood Ramirez.
 Anger flashed into the captains face. Dog" he cried, why have you not come to my help; and why, when you saw my toll, did you not assist me to find the trail?"
 T came down to say, captain" re- marked the villain, coolly, that you and I are the only survivors of this days foolish work"
 Foolish! How do you dare to in suit Spanish officer? Dog, begone! l will see that you meet with your de- serts!"
 No more, no more" the words came sternly from the spy. No one shall call Ramirez a dog!"

Ho~ there, guard, chargei"
 So the Spaniards, one and all. all ex- :.cept Ramirez, rode recklessly forward to meet their foes firing as they rode. What the issue of that day would have :. been If the forces had met in battle can never be known. The combined weight of the Spaniards and their ene- mics made the bridge break.
 The structure shook like a man with the ague; then there was a loud and fearful crash and the timbers that had been cut partly through dropped down into the abyss that yawned below. Men and frightened horses, arms and ae- couterments went down with the wreck. with the sound of shouts of alarm in the air and the final cracking of Span ish and Cuban rifles, for the Cubans had opened fire as soon as they saw their enemies advancing The bed of the mountain stream that brawled through the deep canyon two hundred feet below the trail was strewn with sharp, jagged rocks. These received many victims. To the edge of the can .yon, peering over, crept Ramirez, the spy Of all the men who not long be- ]: fore had been so full of life, not one With the exception of the Spanish cap tain, was seen by Ramirez to move

peace Is yours"
 Seized by a sudden impulse she, standing erect, surrounded by her dead countrymen, took up a machete which had fallen from a trusty Cuban hand and held it aloft toward heaven.
 Above the hush of the forest, marred only by the sound of brawling noun tain stream rose the voice of the hero inc, thrilling with it's pathos as she ut tered the magic words, Cuba Libre. !" She seemed like the spirit incarnate of liberty. Her eyes, filled with tears, still glowed with enthusiasm for her native land. She once more resolved to consecrate all her life to Cuba's cause On the blade of the machete was a s+ain-the stain of a brother who fell in an early battle for freedom. The sunlight, shining upon the wreck of all about her, kissed the hair of the hero inc and rested lovingly upon her.
 Through the aisles of the forest sped the sound of her voice; and Ramirez, the spy, traitor to his native land, and traitor to the friends and playmates of his childhood, heard an echo that seemed to chase him like an averaging spirit:
 Cuba fibre. Cuba fibre"
 Hardened as he was. wicked as he was, a chill crept over his heart.

were hung out. She looked out the door. The ragged little urchins and the tattered girls were dancing and singing. It was just dusk, and 1t was Sunday. Those little folks never knew what the inside of a church looked like There was the old brown wooden stoop, too. Then the scene disappeared. She was in Arabian lands.
 She was sitting by her window looking down over the gardens. The plash of the waterfalls and the ripple of the water came plainly to her enraptured ears. The sweet scent of tropical flow CTS greeted her nostrils. The great Southern moon hung low over the hor- izon, mellowing the landscape into gold. Below her she heard the pas sionate pleadings of the piano as it Such implorings, such wildness! From the desert I come to thee" Arabian fire surged through the song. And then it died away-no, it was 8 differ ent scene, now.
 It was a German scene She was in a great cathedral filled with beautiful angels, clad in white robes so dazzling that Elvira could scarcely look at them. Such grandeur in their faces, such gladness and unquenched joy! What was that they were singing? An! It was the Hallelujah Chorus. Elvira felt her pulses quicken and her heart blood stir. Then the song was ended. The vision faded, and the church, grand i.l it's ancient glory, dis appeared.
 The piano played on-something so sweetly sad and solemn that Gertrude could have bowed in prayer. The wax tapers on the great altar in the dis tance gleamed and f1ickered. And then
