to aimess gossip with his countryman,
the newspaper writer. Manifestly this
O'Reily was harmless person. But the
spy did not guess how frantic Johnnie
was becoming at this delay. how he in.

weeks had rolled by and still no signal

he assured him that word had been sent

Then. too his money was running low.
At last. however, the day arrived when
the man with the gray necktie raised
his hat and wiped his brow as he passed
the Isla de Cuba. Johnnie could scarcely
hold himself in his chair, BY and by he
rose, stretching himself, and sauntered
after the fellow. For several blocks he
kept him in sight, but without receiving
any further sign. The man paused to
greet friends he stopped at several shops
and his aimless wanderngs continued for
the best part of an hour, during which he
led the way to the outskirts of the city.

The Appointed Day

But those seven days were more than
a. week, they were seven eternities. The
hours were like lead; O'Reilly could COM
pose his mind to nothing; he was in
fever OF impatience.
Meanwhile. he was compelled to see a
good deal of Leslie Branch. The reporter
was anything but cheerful company. for
believing firmly in the steady progress
of his malady, he was weighed down by
the deepest melancholy. The fellow was
a veritable cave of despair; he voiced
never-ceasing complaints; nothing suited
him: and but for something likable i'm the
man-an effect due In part to the fact
that his chronic irritation took amusing
forms-he would have been an intoler.
able bore. To cheer him up was quite
impossible, and although it seemed to
Johnnie that the Cuban climate agreed
with him and that he lacked only
strength of will to cheat the grave the
mere suggestion Of such thought was
offensive to the invalid. He construed
every optimistic word. every effort at en-
courasement. either as a reflection upon
his sincerity or as the indication Of a
heartless' indifference to his sufferings.
He continued to talk wistfully about join.

should come to use it. In this hall, more.
over, directly opposite his door, there was
an oil bracket lamp which gave light to
the passageway, and which was forever
going out, a fact which the young man
noted with satisfaction.
