past the position they occupied, and
then Mario. mounting upon the Shout
ders of the men, scrambled to the top
of the wall. Shortly the sentry came
along on his return patrol. humming
4 Spanish song. He did not notice the
PROSTATE form until he almost trod
upon it. 1t was then too late to give
warning. for Mario sprang up. and
with all the strength of which he was
capable. struck the man full on the
mouth, and followed this up immedi-
ately by graspiEg him around the
waist and fairly throwing him over
the wall. Here a dozen hands quickly
grasped the soldier. who was gagged
and bound before he could utter a cry.
Then one by one the Cubans with
Ben scrambled up, and the whole ten
/ made a rush for the small hut. Three
| sleepy guards were cut down in a few
seconds, the door of the building was
forced open. and Mr.. Hinton was led
out to his son.

! Ben. my boy" was the answer.
| At this moment a shot was fired and
a sentry on the western wall fell. In
stantly a tremendous hubbub arose
within the barracks, and the Spaniards
began to pour out of the building.
But before they had time to load their
rifles the remaining Cubans. who had
got into the ground by way of the
western wall, Joined Capt. Mario and
those with him, and the little band of
twenty-five flung themselves on the
| Spaniards.
While the fighting was going on Ben
suddenly found himself thrust against

the Spanish flag waving overhead. He
hauled on the ropes, but they would
not work. Placing his clasp-knife be-
tween his teeth. he climbed the staff
until he clasped the folds of the flag
with his left hand: then he was COM

He could barely distinguish the out

! high above the din of oaths and cries
in Spanish, the clash of bayonet,

weapon. the machete. arose the exult-
ing cry: Cuba libre: Cuba libre"
Suddenly. a single long shrill note
from a whistle pierced the air. 1t was
Marto's prearranged signal, and it
came none too soon.
At the signal. however, the Cubans
retired with surprising swiftness. car
rying with them the bodies of several
of their comrades who had fallen. As
they passed the staff Ben slipped down
among them, the flag bundled up I'M

had been assigned that duty. The whole

Cuba. Every living thing moved list

where he carried on business as a
general merchant. Among Cubans
Mr.. Hinton was we'll known as sym
pathizer in their cause. Immediately
on receipt of the news in Havana that
Gen. Antonio Maceo had taken the
field he decided to lend his active aid
to the Cuban insurSent leader. Mr..
Hinton had suggested that Ben go
back to relatives in America, but this
proposition the lad stoutly opposed, so
his father was at last compelled to
consent to Ben's accompanying him.
Accordingly, one evening Mr.. Hin

lying concealed during the day, they
reached the outskirts of the province
OF Puerto Principe. Here, at the little
village. thirty natives Joined them.
Mario was elected captain of the band.
Eut orc morning they were suddenly
surrounded by an overwhelming force
Of spanish soldiers. With desperate
courage. Captain Mario, Ben. and some
twenty-five men cut their way out of
the Gordon of soldiers and sought
safety in flight
1t was not until the Spaniards gave
mp the chase that any one noticed
that Mr.. Hinton was not with the
party. Toward evening a man who
Joined the party brought comparative
happiness to Ben by the report that he
had watched from the woods a party
Of Spanish soldiers marching along
with an American prisoner in their
midst. Tho description of the pris-

Mr.. Hinton as to leave no doubt of his

Two days later they located the fort
which was the headquarters of the
soldiers who had attacked them, and
it was this Ben and Capt. Mario were
now watching.
In front of the barracks. and about
twenty feet from il. was a small hut
in which. Ben and Capt. Mario, by the
