buildings on his plantation had been
burned. Then he decided that Heu-
reauN was right and he sold out to .
German syndicate and retired from the
island, to await an opportunity for re-
venge. He thought this chance had
come when the war with Spain broke
out. Under the preteNt that he was GO
ing to organize an expedition to ight
for Cuba libre, he was allowed by the
United States government to pack lit
tie steamship, the Fanita, with some
San Domingo refugees and set sail from
Mobile. But instead of going to Cuba
he went to San Domingo. One dark
night he landed there with his cargo
of refugees, expecting to find 1000 in
surgents under arms awaiting him.

the raid was unexpected, and no revolu-
ton had been started for him He fired

that she had only mild interest in
Latrobe, she was really losing or had
lost her heart to him, and in every way
in her power was striving to conceal
the fact from Margaret, and yet meet
her lover at hours when she thought it
possible to do so without discovery.
AS the friendship strengthened be-
tween himself and Latrobe they began
using him as Cupii's postman, and
many little notes and some big ones
found their way to and from the Fourth
division of cadet barracks. Mrs. Frank
was only moderately kind to her civil

Garrison told him he must-to protect
her from scandal--did he ask another

Early in August the swiftest steamer
of the line was splitting the Atlantic
surge and driving hard for home, with
Gov" cursing her for canal boat. The
day after he reached New York he had
traced and followed the White Sisters to
West Point, and Margaret Garrison
stared in mingled delight, triumph and
dismay at the card in her hand; de-
light that she could show these exclu-
sive Pointers that the heir to one of
the oldest and best names in Gotham's
Four Hundred was slave to her beck
and call, dismayed TO think of the scene
that might occur through his jealousy
when he saw the devoted attentions
she received from so many men-offi-
GERS, civilians and cadets. Old Cashton
came up now as regularly as Saturday
night came around. and there were
others. Margaret Garrison was more
talked about than any woman in Or
ange county, yet who could report any
thing of her beyond that she was uni
versal favorite, and danced. walked, pos
sibly flirted with a dozen different cav
alters every day of her life. There were
some few people among her accuSers,
demure and most proper-even prudish
women, of whom, were the truth to
be told, so little could not be said.
Gov" Prime took the only kind of
room TO be had in the house, so full was
it-a little seven by ten box on the
Office floor. He would have slept.in the
coalbin rather than leave her. He saw
her so off to the hop looking radiant,
glancing back over her shoulder and
smiling sweetly at him. He rushed TO
his trunk, dragged out his evening
clothes and stood at the wall looking
on until the last note OF the last dance
he, noted German leader in the
younger set and the best dancer of his
years in Gotham. Not so much as a
single spin had he, and he lQnged to
show those tight-waisted, button be-
strewed fellows in gray and white how
little they really knew about dancing,
well as many of them appeared on the
floor. His reward was rendered M the
hop broke up. She came gliding to him
with such witchery in her appraised face
Now. sir, it is your turn. | couldn't
give you dance, for my card was made
out days ago, but Mr.. La,robe was glad
enough to get rid of taking me home.
He is daft about Nita, and of course
she can't let him take her to more than
one hop week. Mr.. Stanton is her
escort tonight"
Then she placed her little hand on
his arm, and drew herself to his side,
and when he would have followed the
others, going straight across the broad
plain to the lights Mt the hotel. turned
him TO the left I'm going to take YOU
all the way round, SIR" she said. joy
ously. Then we can be by ourselves
at least ten minutes longer"
And SO began the second period of
Gouverneur Primes thralldom. A
young civilian at the Point has few
opportunities at any time, but when
the lady of his love is belle in the
corps, he would much better take u
long ocean voyage than be where he
could hear and see, and live in daily
torment One comfort came to him

Don Juan Isidro Jiminez, who is now
SO prominent in San Domingo affairs,

in this hemisphere. He owned immense
plantations in Cuba and San Domingo,
