raie-my friend"
The carabineros were close upon the
fugitives now, and with a last look
at his beloved comrade the captain
struck his spurs deep in his horses
flank and sped eastward
Courage, senorita, courage" he
whispered over and over again. "Yet
there remains one other final resort
If all others fail. l will save you
have you faith in me?"
Ard in answer the girl would lift
her face and say
Faith unbounded. You are Gu
ban patriot"
Never before had the young Cuban
been placed in such critical position.
If 1t had not been for his beautiful
charge, he would have turned baci.
and died bravely, fighting over the
body of his slain comrade. But this
girl with the lovely waving hair and
the glorious eyes, had cast spell over
him which was not easily thrown off;
she was more than life to him now.
"Oh, my God, they are gaining on
us, senior! See! They level their
pieces-they fre!"
Inferno! The horse is struck-he
is down! Cling to me senorita.
The quarry was run to earth; Valen-
tino's last resolve was shattered; he
could not now forfeit his own life for
that of his companion. But blood
should flow as free as water in that
dark, gloomy pass before he would al
low himself to be taken captive.
What was that?
A terrific explosion, stream of
quivering flame shooting out from that
impenetrable mass of darkness, AMI
the foremost dragoon tumbles from
his horse, as lifeless as the weather
beaten rocks about him.
Cr-ra-a-ack!
Viva Cuba Libre!"
And they are saved
The next day the tnsurgent band
carried the generals daughter anu her
brave rescurer in triumph back to the
rebel camp; and with his darling-the
doomed spy clasped close to his
breast, the old man implored God to
pour forth the blessings of heaven
upon the heads of the two heroes both
living anl dead.
And Valentino, at the head of his
macheteers, led them on to victory
and freedom, while in peaceful villa
back in the hills beautiful girl, spy,
waited and watched for him, her loved
one to return.-Waverly Magazine.

"Senorita?" he called softly.
There was a stir among the blank
cts, and a pale sweet face, with soft
black curls clinging about it like q
veil, was raised from its hard pillow.
"a friend to aid you; one who has
your welfare at heart"
The girl raised herself still higher,
but not sound escaped her lips. 1t
was not necessary, the soft eyes alone
told the story.
Swiftly Valentino crossed to the pal
let-swiftly he severed the cords that
bound her tender limbs-and swiftly
he caught her lovely form in his arms
and dashed into the open air.
1t was all over in minute, for the
Cuban had thrown caution to the
winds; his only thought-his only pur
pose was to convey his precious
charge to a place of safety. Alas!
that his haste was to prove so fatal.
"Arto! Who goes there?"
The sharp rattle of a carbine rang
out on the still night air, and the camp
was awake.
Courage, senorita, we will pass
them yet. Pedro. Ho Pedro!"
Here, senor. Hasten, the horses
are in the hollow just beyond the hill" 3"
1t was race for life, and the pa
triots won. Hardly were they mount
ed and off before a dozen or more
carabineros rushed into the hollow.
"Caballo! Caballo!" they cried and
discharged their weapons.
Can you hold your seat, senorita?'
the captain asked as he rode up be,
side her.
with ease, she answered bravely,
smiling bravely through the gloom.
"They are on horses and in pursuit,
senor."
81 fear we are lost" interrupted Pc
dro.
"Why so, comraIe?"
Because, I-I-Valentino, the girls
horse is dying"
The captain lurched in his saddle as
| though struck by a blow. For the
first time he noticed the spasmoiit
leaps of the maiiens steed, and the
gradual tagging CT its pace.
Still on they sped; five-ten-fifteer
minutes, and then they began to entel
| the hills. The wounded horse was
fast losing strength, but still the noble
animal plunged on till its heart burst
and with an agonizing groan it STUN
bled and fel dead.
In a moment Valentino had the cir
on his own mount. and was dashinl
away in pursuit Of Pedro.
Courage, senorta," he murmeret
softly, and pressed her closer to hi
breast, nesting her face among he
beautiful waving curls.
