CHAPTER Discontinued.

llolton's present idea was to wait
Tor the army TO move. purposing TO
follow their advance. and under cover
of the battle 10 enter Santiago. But
as day after day passed il seemed to
him as though the order TO advance
would be given.
He went up TO the Cuban camp sew
eral times, and on one OF these occa-
sions had long conference with Gar
cia, to whom still maintaining his role
as an English newspaper correspond
ent, he related the details OF his mis-
adventures at Aserraderos. Garcia's 8
face clouded as Holton proceeded, and
at the conclusion OF his narrative he
regarded the young officer sadly.
Il do not doubt what you say, Mr.
Ogilve," he sighed gloomily. but it is
a hard blow. Jose Cesnola is-was-
one OF our most trusted leaders Now
that | know. | can attribute many mis-
fortunes TO him, for he was very much
I'm our confidence. Very well! Friends.
comrades, have deserted us, have
proved traitorous before this shall
bear him in mind"
Six days in all elapsed before any
indication that the army was to move
came to the surface. On the sixth
day. June 80, however, orderly and
aides began galloping down the road
way and the word came that the ad-
vance was TO begin at four o'clock
that afternoon. Holton wondered if
the entire army was to move at once
or whether each command was TO
take up the march at an appointed
hour.
At four promptly his question was
answered when the entire force broke
camp and crowded into the narrow
jungle trail at practically the same
minute
Holton followed along the trail with
an infantry regiment. The army was

MANY IDEAS OF CONVERSATION
At All Times There Have Been OiHer'
ences Of Opinion as TO Art OF
Exchanging ldeas

A Norwegian writer has been poking
fun at our methods of conversation.
Ii is good for us occasionally to see
ourselves as others see US. This critic
is intensely amused at the well-bred
American person who regards IL as inn
polite to talk about anything that Is
interesting 10 himself to refer TO any
thing that the other person does not
know. or to disagree with the ex-
pressed opinion OF another.
Il is obvious that, with such limi-
tations. conversation in the real sense
OF the word Is quite impossible
The unwritten law that one must
not talk OF oneself is on the face OF IL
a stupid and restricting one. Probably
IL originated as a protection against
