PARIS.-To all appearances obll- vious of the peace negotiations which are now progressing between repre- sentatives of the Allied nations and Germany, the Allied forces along the entire front are exerting renewed energy in their efforts to complete the destruction of the great German fighting machine, which is crumb- ling rapidly under the terrific fire of the Allied guns, scattered thickly along the entire front, from the North Sea to the Mouse.
 The advance, which slowed down temporarily Thursday afternoon, was resumed early yesterday morning along the entire front, particularly in those sectors where the French forces are operating. Reports re- ceived from the American front in Sedan this afternoon state that ar tillery and machine guns are very active, but there is an absence o1 infantry action.

boy was now planning to launch his
first blow.
The thought of the hated Cobo had
momentarily distracted Esteban's
thoughts. Now he collected them and
said:
3Wait! / am forgetting something.
See what Lacret's men handed me ;
they are posted from one end of the
island to the other" He displayed a
printed bando, or proclamation, signed
by the new captain general, and read
as follows:
"All inhabitants of the country dis
tricts, or those who reside outside the
lines of Notifications of the towns,
shall, within period of eight days, en-
ter the towns which are occupied by
the troops. Any individual found out
side the lines in the country at the ex-
piration of this period shall be consid-
cred rebel and shall be dealt with as
SUCH"

centration, the result Of which proved

that was the sequel to those printed
words of "Weyler the Butcher" which
Esteban read.
Eight days! When is the time up?"
Rosa inquired.
"Bless you, this is already two weeks
old" her brother told her.
"Why, then, it means that we'll be
shot If we're caught"
Exactly! But we sha'n't be caught,
Ell? Let the timid ones take fright at
the squeaks of this old blackbird. Let
them go into the cities: we shall have

the paper in his hand and dropped it.

"By having me followed, as usual,

of your-er-safcty shall ask you to
permit one of my men to accompany
you everywhere and even to share your
room. We shall try never to lose sight
of you, depend upon it. I wish you
could find another climate equally ben
eficial to your rheumatism. 1t would
lift great load from my mind" The
speaker paused hopefully; that same
sardonic flicker was on his lips.
Johnnie could not summon an an
swering smile, for his heart was like
lead. He realized now the utter fulfil
ity of resistance; he knew that to
remain in Puerto Principe after this
thinly yelled warning would be to
court destruction-and destruction of
a shocking character. against which it
would be impossible to guard. After

O'Reilly was escorted to the railway
station at daylight. He and Branch
took their seats and their guards filed
in behind them. He cursed savagely /;
the memory of these wasted weeks,
the narrow margin of his failure, filled
him with a sick feeling of dismay and
impotence.
In marked contrast to the difficulties
of entering Cuba was the ease Of leav-
ing it. A ship was sailing from Neuvi-
tas on the very afternoon when the
two Americans arrived, and they were
hurried aboard. Not until the anchor
was up did their military escort de-
part from them.
With angry, brooding eyes O'Reilly
watched the white houses along the
water front dwindle away, the man
grove swamps slip past, and the hills
rise out of their purple haze. When
the salt breath of the trades came to
his nostrils he turned into his state
room, and, taking the crate of coco
nuts with which General Antuna had
thoughtfully provided him, he bore it
to the rail and dropped it overheard.
Rheumatism was fool disease,
anyhow" he muttered.

these Cuban rebels, and her relations
with Spain are becoming daily more
strained; ill-feeling grows and all be-
cause of the exaggeratiOns, the men
dacities, that have gone forth from
here to your newspapers. We are de-
termined to put down this uprising
in our own way; we will tolerate no
foreign interference. War is never a
pleasant thing, but you journalists
have magnified its horrors and mis-
represented the cause of Spain until
you threaten to bring on another and
a more horrible combat. Now, then,
you understand what mean when /
say that you are more dangerous than
q powder expert; that your pen can
do more injury, can cause the death
of more Spanish troops than could a
regiment of Americans with dynamite.
Your English friend makes no secret
of his business, so we shall escort him
to Neuvitas and see him safely out of
the country, once for ALL"
"And yet you permit me to remain?' p
Johnnie was surprised.
''For the present, yes! That is my
official message to you. Privately,
however''-the speaker eyed O'Reilly
with q disconcertfng eXpression-"I
would like to warn you. You are a
bright fellow, and you have way with
you-there's no denying it. Under
other conditions it would be a pleas
ure to know you better. 1t grieves me,
therefore, to warn you that your fur
sther stay in Cuba will not be-pleas-

conclusive evidence against you; it
would SO simplify matters. Come, now,
hadn't you better acknowledge that

Suppose something should happen to

the danger of promiscuous rifle fire.

long nose and big chin; he dresses
all in black-a very jew-bird' in APP
pearance, from what hear. His name
is Weyler-Valeriano Weyler, marquis
of Teneriffe."
Esteban covertly appraised his sis
Eter's charms, but respecting her terror
of Cobo he did not speak his thoughts.
He was certain, however, that Rosa
knew, as well as he, what motive lay
behind the fellows tireless persecu-
lions OF the valley dwellers; for, in
spite of their isolation, stories of Cobo
had reached the refugees-stories that
had rendered both the boy and the girl
sick with apprehension. The colonel,
it seemed, had nearly died Of his
machete wound and on recovering he
that had stung him. He had sworn
other oaths, too, oaths that robbed ES-
teban Of his sleep.
Esteban idolized his sister; her 10y
atty to him was the most precious thing
of his life. Therefore, the thought of
that swarthy ruffian hunting her down
as a hound hangs to the trail of doe
awoke in him a terrible anger. Sec
ond only to his hatred for the guerrilla
chief was his bitterness against the
traitor, Pancho Cueto, who had capped
his villainy by setting this new peril
upon them; and since Rosa's safety
and his own honor called for the death
of both men, he had sworn that some
how he would effect it. 1t was, of
course, a difficult matter to get at the
colonel of volunteers, but Cneto still
