Holton marveled greatly at what he
WAS going through. but the man he
had seen with Miss La Tossa was up-
permost In his mind.
Il thought that fellow, Cesnola. was
dead" he said tensely.
For the man with the girl was mono
other than that Of the omnipresent and
apparently immortal waiter Of tho
New Willard.
Pierra laughed without mirth.
THE man is . devilv he replied.
The firing party at his execution was
selected by an officer friendly to him.
They shot over his head. He pretend
ed death. Thus he escaped. General
Garcia was tricked by his own men,
Holton nodded.
But what is the meaning of all
these instruments he asked. "And
why have you brought me here?"
The man faced Holton grayely.
This tunnel" he answered, leads
under the heart Of Santiago. At short
distances 1t is packed with dynamite.
This key will release the spark that
sets 1t OF. 1t is the plan that the city
and the American soldiers shall be
blown to pieces, after which. the
Cuban soldiers now gathered on the
secret trail. leading into the town, will
rush In and assume control"
"And Miss La Tossa?" he asked
Quaveringly.
"senorita has been selected to
press the button. have brought you
here to stop her To save the city. to
save the Americans, to save herself,
for when that button IL pressed she
dies here" Pierre sank on his knses.
"Oh, Mr.. Holton, save her! She loves
you. You love her! Save her. You
can, and you alone can"
Holton struck the man on the shoul-
der and his voice was stern.
II will save her." he paused. $50
help me, Pierre, will"
The candle was blown out and the
two waited In the darkness.
But why" whispered Holton. has
Miss La Tossa volunteered for this
work."
because" was the reply, "the per-
son who presses that button will never
leave this place. 1t is intended that It
shall be destroyed SO that no trace Of
the mystery will ever be found"
Holton's heart grew sick. Undoubted-
ly the girl, in er~blind, patriotic fury,
had come forward as martyr to give
her life for the country she loved.
At the moment there was the sound
Of lock turning and then the door
creaked. Holton and PierEs-were lying
behind some wine-casks. The next
instant they knew the girl was in the
apartment with them. :.
They heard match strike. Evt
