fear that he had made serious mistake.
Dona Isabel, he discovered was both vain
and selfish. Not only did she crave lux.
ury and display, but with singular per-
sistence she demanded to know all about
her husbands financial affairs.
Now Don Esteban was no longer young:
age had soured him with suspicion and
when once he saw himself as the victim
of mercenary marriage he turned bit.
terly against his wife. Her curiosity he
sullenly resented, and he unblushingly
denied his possession of any considerable
wealth. In fact, he tried with malicious
ingenuity to make her believe him a poor
man. But Isabel was not of the sort to
be readily deceived. Finding her arts
and coquetries Of no avail, she flew into
a rage and furious quarrel ensued--
the first of many. For the lady could
not rest without knowing all there was
to know about the treasure. Avaricous
TO her fingertips, she itched to weigh
those bags of precious metal and yearned
to see those jewels burning upon her
bosom. Her mercenary mind magnified
their value many times and her anger at
Don Esteban's obstinacy deepened to a
smolderlng hatred.
Seeking the Gold
She searched the quinta, of course.
whenever she had a chance, but she dis.
covered nothing-with the result that the
mystery began to engross her whole
thought. She pried into the obscurest
corners, she questioned the slaves, she
lay awake at night listening to Estebans s
breathing in the hope of surprising his
secret from his dreams. Naturally such
a life was trying to the husband, but as
his wife's obsession grew his determine.

wardly, of course, the pair maintained
a show of harmony, for they were proud
and they occupied position of some con-
sequence in the community. But their
private relations went from bad to worse.
At length time came when they lived
in frank enmity; when Isabel never spoke
TO Esteban except in reproach or anger,
and when Esteban unlocked his lips only
TO taunt his wife with the fact that she
had been thwarted despite her cunning.
In most quarters, as time went on, the
story Of the Yarona treasure was forgot

TEUTON SUBMARINE
 TERROR INCREASES
Weekly Statement Shows Loss of g British Ships-Heaviest Toll Taken Since Week End ing April 2S.

London, June 20.-Twenty-seven British ships of more than 1,600 tons have been sunk, according to the weekly British summary given out today Five British vessels under 1,60O tons also were sent to the bot tom. No fishing vessels were des- troyed.
 The foregoing figures of British shipping losses as the result of Ger many's submarine warfare show a larger number of vessels sunk than in any of the six preceding weeks. Not since the seven-day period ending April 28 has a greater number of ships been destroyed. During that week 51 vessels-3S over and 13 under 1,600 tons-were sunk. The heaviest totals since the Teuton submarine campaign was opened in February last registered in the week ending April 2l, when 40 steamers of more than 1,600 tons were sunk and 15 vessels of the smaller tonnage were sent to the bottom.
 Since the middle of April, when the undersea boat activity recorded its highest toll, 3O3 British, of which 220 measured more than 1,600 tons, were sunk.

pRFSIDENT ISSUES A
 GALL FOR VOLUNTEERS
Wants Men Between Is and 40 to Offer for Enlistment-Men Asked to Offer Themselves Between June 23-30.

Washington, June 20.-President Wilson issued a proclamation today designating the week of June 23-30 as recruiting week for the regular army and called upon unmarried men without dependents to enroll for war service in order that the ranks of the regulars might be filled promptly.
 This was the presidents first call for volunteers in connection with the war. The proclamation follows:
 Proclamation by the President.
 q hereby designate the period of June 23 to June 30, next, as recruit ing week for the regular army and call upon unmarried men between the ages of IS and 40 years who have no dependents and who are not engaged in pursuits vitally necessary to the prosecution of the war to present themselves for enlistment during the week herein designated to the number of 10000.
 (Signed) Woodrow Wilson,"
 The presidents action was taken at the request of army officials who have been seriously concerned over the slow rate of recruiting for the regular army despite the fact that the War Departments recruiting agencies cover every section of the country and that the men are asked to serve only for the period of the war. It had been hoped that the regular service could be brought to its whole war strength of approXi mately 300, ,000 men by June 30, which would have permitted the War De rortment to carry out it's plan in re- c2rd to the training of all the forces 10 be raised and also as to the dis patch of armies to France.
 For several days, however, the average enrolment for the army per day has heen little more than 1000 men instead of the 5000 or more the department hoped to secure.
 Today's recruiting bulletin shows that since April 1 121.3 men have been enrolled as war volunteers of the lS3,S9s necessary to bring the service to war strength. The army. there fore. is now in the neighborhood of 70.000 men short of war strength, and the presidents call, the first he has made directly for war volunteers, is designed to fill in this gap as quick ly as possible.
