and pain In her breast. She had ac-
quired peculiar and affectionate in
terest in this unhappy girl whom she
had never seen, and she had learned to
respect O'Reilly's love. The yearning
that had pulsed in his voice moment
before had stirred her deeply; it aWoke
a throb in her own bosom, for O'Reilly
was dear to her. The pacifcos, accord
ing to all reports, were dying like flies
in the prison camps. Norine wondered
if there might not be a terrible heart
ache at the end of O'Reilly's quest?
Her face was grave and worried when,
hearing him speak to her, she turned
to take his outstretched hand.
"You will be careful, won't your?

heart, no matter what occursW
He nodded. "It's a long way back

CHAPTER XVI.
The Trocha.

Of all the military measures en-
ployed by the Spaniards In their wars
against Cuban independence, perhaps
the most unique was the trocha--
trench or traverse. Martinez Campos
during the Ten Years war built the
first trocha just west of the. Cubitas
mountains where the waist of the
island is narrowest. Not until Wey-
ler's time were the two methods of
pacification, the trocha and the concen-
tration camp, developed to their fullest
extent. Although his trochas hindered
the free movement Of Cuban troops
and his prison camps decimated the
peaceful population of several prov
inces, the Spanish cause gained little.
Both trenches and prison camps be-
came Spanish graveyards.
At the time Johnnie O'Reilly set out
for Matanzas the war-a war without
battle, without victory, without defeat
had settled into grim contest of en-
durance. In the east, where the insur-

rectos were practically supreme, there
was food of a sort, but beyond the Ju-
caro-MOron trocha.the old one of
Campos' building the country was
sick. Immediately west Of it, in that
district which the Cubans called Las
Villas, the land lay dying, while the
entire provinces of Matanzas Habana
and Pinar del Rio were practically
dead. These three were skeletons,
picked bare of flesh by Weyler's beak.
The Jucaro-Moron trocha had been
greatly strengthened since Campos'
day. It followed the line Of the trans
insular railway. Dotted at every quar-
ter Of mile along the grade were lit
tie forts connected by telephone and
telegraph lines. Between these forti-
mas were sentry stations of logs or rail-
road ties. Eyes were keen, rifles were
ready, challenges were sharp, and coun-
tersigns were quickly given on the Ju-
caro-Moron trocha.
In O'Reilly's party there were three
men besides himself-the ever-faithful
Jacket, wrinkled old Camagueyan
who knew the bride trails Of his prov
ince as fox knows the tracks to it's
lair, and a silent guajiro from farther
west, detailed to accompany the expe-
dition because Of his wide acquaintance
