The Haunted Garden.

Rosa VarOna did not die. On the
contrary, under her lovers care she
made so amazingly swift q recovery
that Improvement was visible from
hour to hour; she rallied like wilted
| Hover under q refreshing rain. It was
O'Rellly'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 it was unbelievable. O'Reilly
was sitting beside her bed Of leaves
at the time; impulsively she pressed
his hands to her lips.
"Such happiness as mine belongs in
heaven" she managed to tell him.
Sometimes it frightens me. With you
by my side this prison is a paradise
and 1 want for nothing. War, suffer-
ing, distress-I can't imagine they
longer exist"
Nevertheless, they do, and Matan-
zas is anything but a paradise" said
he. 1--WE must set about quickly to get
out of it,"
Escape, you mean2 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 trick. They never came back
all of them were killed. Everyone
knows better than to try now."
Nevertheless, we can't stay here
much longer" In answer to the girls
puzzled inquiry he explained: "My
money is gone-all but a few cents.
This is the last of our food and there
is no chance of getting more. Jacket
has some mysterious source of supply
and he manages to bring in something
every now and then, but there are FIVE
of us to feed. and he can't furnish more

eyes and her words were scarcely more
than a murmur:

once more into his arms.
"Oh, yes" Her bloodless Singers
touched his face again, then his thin,
worn rags. "You, too, have suffered.

CRY, 0Rail-yer
I'm not poor I'm rich. See!" He
jingled the coins In his pocket. That's
money; money for you, sweetheart. It
will buy you food and medicine, It will
make you strong again. Rosa, dear, I
have looked for you so long, so long"
His voice broke wretchedly and he
bowed his head. T-I was afraid"
Il waited as long as 1 had strength
to wait" she told him. at is too bad
you came so late"
Once again she lapsed into the leth-
argy Of utter weakness, whereupon he

det3ining hand upon his arm.
ut will save our lives, too" he said
simply.
"Bnh! We are men. There are
women and children yonder-"
but Jackets sensibllities were cal
Anuscd. II seemed. "Of what use would
your few pesetas he among so many?"
he inquired. "GOd has wilIed this, and
ne Knows whnt he is doing. Besides,
Your pretty one is probably as hun
cry as these people. No doubt we shall
5inu that she, too, is starving"
O'Reilly slowly withdrew his hand
from his pocket. ayes! It's Rosa's
money. But-come; l can't endure
this"
He led the way hack 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
Tumbled 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
centrado districts. What they beheld
aged them. Day after day, from dawn
ill dark, they wandered, peering into
nuts, staring into faces, asking ques-
tions until they were faint from fatigue
and sick from disappointment.
AS time passed and they failed to
lind Rosa VarOna q terrible apprehen-
sion began to weigh O'Reilly down; his
lace grew old and drawn, his shoulders
sagged, his limbs began to drag. 1t
was all that Jacket could do to keep
him going. The boy, now that there
was actual need of him, proved a per-

feet Jewel; his optimism never failed,
MS faith never faltered, and O'Reilly
began to feel a dumb gratitude at hav-
ing the youngster by his side.
Jacket, too, became thin and gray
about the lips. But he complained not
at all and he laughed great deal. To
him the morrow was always another
day OF brilliant promise toward which
he looked with ncvcr-faiIing eagerness ;
and not for single moment did he
question the ultimate success of their
endeavor. Such an example did much
FOR the older man. Together they
practiced the strictest, harshest econ
omy, living on few cents a day, while
they methodically searched the city
