The old soldier was right. Rosa did
not gainsay her lover, and toward sun
down the city among the leaves wit
messed an unaccustomed scene.
Rosa, very dainty in her borrowed
nurses uniform, was round-eyed,
timid; she evoked much admiration,
but when she was addressed as Sonora
O'Reilly she blushed to the roots of
her hair and shrank close to her hus-
bands side. Branch proved to be a
happy choice as Esteban's proxy, for
he relieved Norines anxiety and smoth-
cred her approximations.
When Rosa and O'Reilly returned to
Esteban's cabin they found Norine
ahead of them. She was kneeling be-
side the sick mans hammock, and
through the doorway came the low, in
innate murmur of their voices. Rosa
drew her husband away, whispering,
happily:
''He will get well. God and that won

Esteban turned adoring eyes upon
the speaker; he took her hand in his.

he.
"And I've found mine," O'Reilly as
serted. "I've gained your fathers treas
ure, and more-Ive found the prize Of
all the Indies" With his arm about
Rosa he drew her into the house.
Esteban lowered himself into his
chair and Norine rested herself upon
it's arm. He lay back with eyes closed.
From the regions ut the rear came the
voice Of Jacket. The boy was in
declamatory mood. He had gathered
an audience, as was his daily custom,
and was addressing them in English:

Three Travellers Come Home.

toward recovery. In the weeks follow

his gain was steady, but beyond GER

Then he began to lose strength. Este

for q wonderful thing had come into
his life and he spent much of his time
in delicious contemplative day dreams
concerning it, waiting for the hour
when he would dare translate those
dreams into realities. 1t seemed to him
that he had always loved Norine.; GER
tainly she had enshrined herself in his
heart long before his mind had re-
gained it's clarity, for he had come out
of his deliriOus wanderings with his
love full grown.
The time came finally when he could
no longer permit the girl to deceive
herself or him with her brave assump-
ton Of cheerfulness. Norine had just
told him that he was doing famously,
but he smiled and shook his weary
head.
Lets be honest" he said. "You
know and I know that I can't get
WELL"
"You mustn't be discouraged she
told him, earnestly. Remember this is
a trying climate and we have nothing
to do with. Even the food is wretched.

Esteban stroked her hand softly.
"You can't do that, Miss Evans. You
have been wonderful to me and can't
begin to express my gratitude" No
rine stirred, but he retained his grasp

There was a moment of silence.
"Yes. You see, know how tired you

A sudden impulse seized the girl. She
stopped and gathered the sick man into
her young, strong arms. "Don't be
silly" she cried. "My world is your
