You have read in the daily news the story of what one
detachment of American artinerymen did on the Marine
when their ammunition was running low.
Every shell in that caisson meant a speedier winning of
the war-a the horses were lled-but the shells got
there just the same. And they got there in time.

poor Rosai You two poor crea-
tures" O'Reilly choked; he hid his
face upon his sweetheart's breast.
Rosa responded her fingers caressed
him and she sighed c~ontentedly.
O'Reilly's ascent of the hill had been
slow, but his descent was Infinitely
slower, for Rosa was so feeble that
she codld help herself but little and
he lacked the strength to carry her
far at a time. Finally. however, they
reached the wretched howell where
Asensio lay, then leaving her there,
Johnnie sped on alone into the city.
He returned soon with several small
bundles concealed about his person,
and with Evangelina's help he set
about preparing food.
Neither Rosa nor the two negroes
had any appetite-their hunger had
long since passed the point at which
they were conscious Of it-and O'Reilly
was compelled to force them to eat.
When he had given them all that he
dared he offered what food was left
to Jacket.
The boy moistened his lips and his
fingers twitched, but he shook his head.
"Oh. I'm not so hungry" he declared,
indifferently. II have a friend in the
market place; I will 60 down there
and steal a fish from him."

something for You and me, for I'm a

The Haunted Garden.

Rosa Varona did not die. On the
contrary, under her lovers care she
made so amazingly swift a recovery
that Improvement was visible from
hour to hour; she rallied like q wilted
flower under a refreshing rain. 1t was
O'Reilly's presence as much as the
nourishing diet provided by his money
which effected this marvel, although
the certainty that Esteban was alive
and safe put added force into her de-
termination to live. Rosa found hope
springing up In her breast and one day
she caught herself laughing. The mar
vel Of 1t was unbelievable. O'Reilly
was sitting beside her bed Of leaves
ut the time; impulsively she pressed
his hands to her lips.
"Such happiness as mine belongs In
heaven" she managed to tell him.
Sometimes 1t frightens me. With you
by my side this prison is a paradise
and I want for nothing. War. suffer-
ing, distress-I can't imagine they

Nevertheless. they do, and Matan-

he. 1--WE must set about quickly to get
out Of It."
Escape, you mean? But that is i'm
possible. Asensio can tell you all
about that. The Spaniards used to IS
sue passes for the men to go outside
the lines in search of food. 1t was
just a trick. They never came back
all Of them were killed. Everyone
knows better than to try now"

OfRellly slowly withdrew his hand
from his pocket. "Yesi It's Rosa's

this"
He led the way back to the Plaza of
Liberty and there on an iron bench
they waited for the full day. They
were very tired, but further sleep was
impossible, for the death wagons
rumbled by on their way to collect the
bodies Of those who had died during
the night.
Neither the man nor the boy ever
wholly lost the nightmare memory Of
the next few days, for their search
took them into every part Of the recon-
ccntrado districts. What they beheld
aged them. Day after day, from dawn
till dark. they wandered, peering into
huts, staring into faces, asking qucs-
lions until they were faint from fatigue
and sick from disappointment.

Rosa had not asked the source
whence came the blessed food which
was bringing the life blood back into
her body, and although that food was
not much-a little meal, a plantain, a.
occasional scrap Of meat or fsh-it ha.
never occurred to her that the suppl.
might be limited. She met the prob
lem bravcly, however.
