. dispatch boat

a dispatch boat,
 As the officer watched him. the spy raised his hand. and low but pene- trsting whistle broke the stiffness of the night A lantern waved from craft in the bay, and in few minutes the rattle of oars in their lceks sounded.
 As the boat came shoreWard, Holton, now breathlessly interested, wriggled his way nearer the spy and fisstened against the sand and shielded by small growths of chaparral, he awaited the arrival of the boat
 As it grated on the beacn. tall of fcer sprang out, and HoIton had no diff ficulty In recognizing him as one of General Shutters aids.
 Well, Montez" said the latter, I thought you were never coming" T thought sox too,,' was the reply. There was difS:ulty in getting out of the camp. but now am here and I have information the general wishes."
 "All right. What is it?"
 "Clixto Garcia is not your friend. He Is one of the leaders in a plan to attack you once you have rid Santiago province of the Spaniards. can give you proof" The spy drew from his pocket the pad upon which he had been writing and. tearing off a sheet, handed it to the officer. who read 1t by lighting a match and holding it in front of the paper.
 That fC cnnu oF General Garcia wrote tonight to Gen. eral Castillo and General Rabi"
 Are you sure of this7'
 Absolutely But I will say this much: The message, as have it, is not word for word. l read 1t after he wrote it. for he showed it to me; after he fell asleep l wrote it from mem ory."
 ''Very we'll Have you anything else to tell me? Will Garcia carry out the arrangements made with General Shaf ter this afternoon?"
 "Oh, yes; he will You will under. stand that nothing which will hinder American success against the Span. iards will be done; Garcia and the other Cuban generals are looking to the future"
 ''Very we'll; I'll report to the com mander-in-chief. What are your future intentious7"
 T should like to accompany you to the Segaranca. General Shafter may have some questions, and, in any event, I shall feel safer at sea just at pres ent.
 You see." the spy added. "my role as one of the leaders of the Cuban Junta, coupled with my supposed be lief in the absolute integrity and disin. terestedness of the United States as regards Cuba. sometimes lead me into danger. Garcia, who is my friend, be- lieves in me, but Castillo, have req son to think. Is suspicious Garcia meets Castillo tomorrow, and so-" he shrugged his shoulders and lifted his hands.
 All right" grunted the American; jump into the boat"
 Before the spy obeyed, he turned for a moment and repeated his whis. tie. Then, in very mild voice, he said:
 Tt is time, senor, for your salad with dressing"
 Holton, knowing the words were ad- dressed to him, was on the point of scrambling to his feet when a power fui arm was thrown across his throat. throttling him, while, at the same time, his hands and feet were seized and bound in a twinkling. A gag was then slipped into his mouth. and he lay there helplessly, regarding the four figures who stood over him
 What is it7" he heard the officer say.
 Merely" was the reply, "an inquisi. tive soldier from Garcia's camp. They bother me so-you have no idea"
 Well" was the laughing reply, you certainly seem to know how to deal with them Now. come on. if. you are coming"
 Thank you; yes"
 He delivered a volley of commands ir Spanish, speaking so rapidly that Holton could not understand a word The men replied in kind, and then the officer and the spy stepped into the boat and were rowed offshore.
