T should be most happy to have kim with us" he smiled. T am afraid our fare will be most humble and our life without even the little comforts one expects in war"
 oh, I'm sure MT Ogllye will not ob ject."
 Thank you, not at all" Holton inter. jected.
 He produced a batch of credentials which had been handed him by the ad. miraIs aide an hour or so before, and gave them to General Garcia.
 The Cuban, however, declined to ex. anime them, returning them with an air Of winning politeness.
 That night in a Cuban camp, with the stars overhead, Holton sat with General Garcia and his officers and listened with quick sympathy while Garcia told of his Imprisonment by the Spaniards ten years before, and of the sufferings and c-uelJies which eventually led him to shoot himself in the head in an effort to end it all. His release and the long fight for the freedom of his country sounded like a romance.
 And now, after all the discourage ments and all the travail he had this day entertained high officers of na- tion greater than Spain, who had come here to assist in the cause so dear to him.
 MT. Ogilve," he said, T feel tonight that I have not lived in vain. The end is now near. l have prayed l might some day see this. Now my prayers have been answered.
 Holton nodded with great sympathy, and thereafter his attitude towards this war underwent a change. Former ly his spirit, like that of many of his brother officers, had been one of aloof- ness, so far as Cuba was immediately concerned. It was the war itself, the chances of glory, the prospects for quick promotion, the opportunities for putting into practice that which they had learned which had carried the great appeal, the cause of Cuba re- naining very much in the abstract.
 Now Holtcn saw the situation in a different light. He could feel intimate y that he was engaged in work for humanity; that he was to be one of those who were to be concerned in actively bringing into the world 2 aew nation.
 Then, filled with the heaviness Of he climate. he spread his blanket up- on a bed of boughs, and lulled by the signing of the leaves. he closed his ayes and was soon asleep
 He must have slumbered an hour, when he awoke suddenly. Ordinarily he was a sound sleeper, and he knew that his awakening was due to some outward cause.
 He lay for moment wondering. and then the sound of low voices gave him the cause of his rousSg. A glance to- ward General Gsrcia's quarters re- Fealed to him the figure of that sol dier, gazing thoughtfully into a small fire. A second glance showed that the old soldier was couversing with an officer whom he had not noticed be- lore
 Holton wound himself snugly in his blanket and was about to fall asleep when a sentence arrested his mind and brought him wide awake.
 'T GO not ask you, general. what your convictions as to the United States are. l tell you merely what circumstances may arise and ask yo1 what you would GO in that event"
 Garcia shook his head slowly.
 q decline to discuss improbabilities, pr rather impossibiHties, he answered. The United States has acted nobly. and will so continue to act"
 Nevertheless, persisted his in- auisitor, q ask you what you would do. Come, come, e,"-Holton recognized by his manner a parsonage of some authority in the Cuban cause-''tt would be 50 easy for you to say that until Cuba is absolutely free 10 drop of blood in your body is your own"
 -.s would be easy to say that, was the sad response, but I have shed my blood. I am old l have struggled and suffered for my country. Tn the intervention of the United States l see the answer to ell my struggles and to all my prayers. l am like a man who has come to the end of long journey j see the brightness ahead. the load Is easea from the back Gods hand is now at work in this island. And as ais hand moves, so will I abide He has sent the Americans here and he will send them away in good season after their work Is done. If not, then so be it."
 For a moment there was silence. Then Garcia spoke again
 You have nothing to fear. It is my thought that unless our American .rieads make 6 speedy ending of this campaign they will be routed by dis ease, and if they do not fly they will die. surely and certainly. And thus even if I agreed with you in your con tentions, 1 should still advocate leav- ing the matter to God.
 Time will tell And now you must sleep. general Who was that Amsri- can," he added, ~who remains with youf"
