GOMEZ SEES the POINT.

Old General Maxine Gomez has been
pointing to the acceptance of the Piatt
amendment by the Cuban Constitutional
Convention as offering proof that the
Cubans are striving earnestly for ma
tional Independence along the best lines
open to them.
The old fighter seems also clearly to
perceive the exact relation in which
Americans and Oubans stand toward
one another. He recognizes Cuba's debt
of gratitude to this Government for
having freed her from the bondage OF
Spain. 'In every American 1 see a
friend" says old Gomez.
Furthermore. General Gomez is cor
rect in declaring that there exists be-
tween the two peoples mutual obliga-
ton TO establish and maintain the peace
and the independence of the Island of
Cuba. The Cubans themselves have for
years been striving for freedom and
tranquility. We have pledged our as
sistance in their aspiration for liberty.
But, in making our pledge good, it is
also imperative that American interests
be fully protected. The little and help
less Republic of Cuba, standing at our
very doors. at a most salient point on
tain exercise of American influence in
directing her affairs. and especially her
dealings with other Governments. 1t
mast not be possible for her to become
"a menace TO us, through the machina-
tions of European Powers. Her foreign
policy must necessarily be subject to
our control. We must have certain
rights to naval stations on Cuban soil.
There is no injustice in demanding
these things from Cuba, In return for
them we will safeguard her against the
world. a
1t is apparent that old Gomez reeog-
nizes these truths. His voice should
be potent III shaping Cuban action.
There is now good reason 10 believe
that the independence of Cuba will
soon be established on basis satisfac-
tory alike to Cuba and 10 the United
States.

CHAPTER XIV.

Twelve days had elapsed since he re-
eeived that transatlantic warning
and yet nothing had occurred TO sug-
gest that Jeanne had arrived. 1t was
on the morning of the thirteenth day.
He was alone in his study when the
postman left letter for Blanche. He
took it, and as he placed it on the table
where it would meet her eye when she
came in, he noticed that the super
scription was written in a very poor
hand, as if it were executed by an IL
literate person. 1t was "A small cir
cumstance, but Goddard's mind was in
famed with morbid fears of impending
evil He sat down at the fire and took
up the morning paper, but the letter
on the table held his attention as if il
contained a warning from the Infinite.
He heard Blanche coming, and, rails
ing the paper, he pretended to be alb
sorbed in reading, though he was really
watching her face as she advanced to
che table and took up her letter. God
dard saw a look of wonderment pass
over her face as she opened the en-
Velope. A moment later he heard her
cry out SOFTLY;
"Ohl"
He rose and went TO her.
'What is it, darling?" he asked, his
heart sinking.
''Oh, nothing of Importance" She
put the letter into its envelope and
held it down by her side. 1T really
doesn't amount TO anything"
But despite this assurance there
was still shocked expression in her
face.
He was actually afraid to pursue
his questions further, being sure that
st was some artifce of Jeanne's. Per
haps some proposal from some con
federate of hers leading to a clandes
tine meeting, Goddard went back tC
his chair at the fire. His body felt as
heavy and life.ess as stone as he sat
down. She put her letter in her peck
ct and moyeu towards the door
"Will you not let me see your letter
Blanche?" he found courage to ask.
"Not now, dear" she answered, arc
1t seemed to him that her mind wal
far away,
"Will you not tell me its contents?'
"Td really rather not, dear" sh,
said, and without another word sh'
aurned from the room.

The threat contained in that cabled

Hike a weight suspended by the hand
Of destiny. That the woman he had
once blindly worshiped would be guilty
Of deliberate murder he did not doubt
and as the time which Jeanne would
take to recross the ocean went by his

thither he would creep, holding his re

by the sight of his beautiful treasure

burning night lamp.
After one of these rights he wen
back to his chamber, and for the frs
time for years he knelt and tried Il
pray. His prayer was short, but h,
repeated it over and over with sup
pressed groans.
