 A gleam Of an expression crossed the girls face. Pierre, she remarked to her attendant. who stood rigidly at her side, this is the gentleman We met near Seyilla, is il not?"
 Pierre glanced at Holton, his face filled with an expression Of savage hatred.
 Tt is, senorita, he replied.
 "Yes, we met this gentleman at Se- villa, Pierre. and he said several things. Did he not, PieTre?"
 ~Yes. senoTita'
 And, Pierre, what did he say?" He said that the Americans were to remain faithful to their promise, and that Cuba, after Santiago was cap tured. was to be placed in the control of the Cuban army"
 Yes" The Cuban girl had not glanced at Holton, who stood listen ing. rigid and angry.
 Yes. Pierre she repeated; "and so Santiago was captured by the Americaus-and the Cubans. And did the Americans keep their promise, that sacred promise?" "No, they did not, senorita. They refused to permit the Cubans to enter the city, their oEn city, to attend the surrender"
 .Yes, and so, Pierre, when this American officer told us our rights would be observed. he did not say what was true. Did he?"
 NO, senorita. He lied"
 As Holton leaped forward with an exclamation, the girl raised her hand. One moment, please. l am now going to speak to you direct. You are beneath my contempt. As Q spy, re spect all that you did, save one thing. As Q spy you did your duty. You wis tied the Spanish lines, you pried into the affairs of our army, and you won the love and the friendship of General Garcia All these things were your duty But all this did not satisfy you, No. In addition, you set out to win my love-
 She buried her face in her hands and a dry sob escaped her.
 You tried to win my love" She glanced up at him with fearless eyes And you did win my love. You won 1t unreseTvedly. l. was yours to take But now l know that it was all the part of mOckery; that the love you pretended to offer was unreal; that il was but part and parcel of the game you were playing"
 HoIton, who had been silent, think ing it better that he should hear all before replying, could stand no more He raised his hand.
 one moment as sHe essayeQ U speak Losing you is a price too great for me to pay-even when 1t il wolves saving my countrymen. No, cannot lose you-and live. do no wish to live. And so-you have no believed me. Every look, every wor of yours tells me you regard me as liar. So be it."
 He moved away from the push-but ton and folded his arms.
 You are now at perfect liberty | press that button. l shall not intel fere. I shall stay here and die wit you. That is my wish Life mean nothing now for me"
 "A cry Ol lDAAOE BIOhC HUH lAlt She stood swaying, surveying the tw with staring eyes. Her gaze at lengt fastened upon Holton, standing ther' his arms folded, his broad shoulder heaving, his dark, handsome fac turned 10 her with an expression ( great tenderness.
 Something in his eyes, somethin magnetic, the power of his great loy for her, the intensity of his emotion rivited her gaze to his face.
 Slowly, In spite of herself, she creI toward him. fascinated.
 "Raneei How my arms have ache for you. How my heart has bled fc youl Rance! Come"
 With a low cry the girl sprang him. In his powerful arms he caugl her. She looked up at him and kisse her. Her hands caressed his fac She drew his head down once more her lips.
 And thus in the darkness. with ? tential death all about, love, the co queror, triumphed.
