fortunate" Again Mr.. Carter rear
ranged his desk fittings. "We some
times differ, Elsa and I, but when she
sets her heart on a thing I see that
she gets it, even if I think she oughtn't
to have it. What's the use of having
children if you can't spoil 'em, eh?"
He looked up with a sort of resentful
challenge, and when his listener ap-
peared to agree with him he sighed
with satisfaction. "Early marriages

she's licked me. I'm done. She wants

the room. When he returned he ex-
planned: II don't have to tell you that

CHAPTER vi.
The Quest BEGINS.

~ N0SoS oSSihos
When O'Reilly had finished his sec
ond reading Of the letter there were
fresh blots upon the pitifully untidy
pages. II write nicely, only the ink Is
poor" "There is little of anything
here at Asensio's house" ut is cold
before the dawn" Poor little
Rosa! He had always thought of her
as so proud, so h%igh-spirited, so play
full, but another Rosa had written this
letter. Her appeal stirred every
chord Of tenderness, every impulse Of
chivalry in his impressionable Irish ma
ture. 20 God! Come quickly, If you
love me-" he leaped to his feet; he
dashed the tears from his eyes. j
Johnnie's preparations were con-
Quoted with vigor and promptitude;
within two hours his belongings were
packed. He seized his hat and has
tened downtown to the office of the Gu
ban junta.
A businesslike young man inquired
his errand. Johnnie made known a
part of it, and then asked to see some
in authority. In consequence, per-
haps, Of his Irish smile or Of that per-
suasiveness which he could render al
most irresistible when he willed, it was
not long before he gained admittance
to the presence Of Mr.. EnriGuez, q dis
tinguished, scholarly Cuban Of middle
age.
O'Reilly plunged boldly into the
heart Of the matter which had brought
him thither. When he had finished his
tale Mr.. Enriquez inquired:
"But how do you expect me to help
your"
II want your advice more than your
help, although you might tell me where

gible sounds that seemed to signify
relief, pleasure, delight-anything ex.
cept what the old man expected.
"Are you crazy, or am II" he uue
ried.
"Yes, sir; delirious. It's this way,
sir; I've changed my mind, too"
ooh! You have?"
"Ive met the dearest, sweetest
O'Reilly choked, then began again
"the dearest, loveliest-"
"Never mind the bird-calls-con't

Humph! 1t turned out better than /
thought. Why, II was positively ter.
rified when you walked in. 1 ought to
be offended, and I am, but Get out

O'Reilly spent that evening in writ.
ing a long letter to Rosa Varona.
Other letters went forward by sue.
ceeding posts, and there was 10 doubt
now that O'Reilly's pen was tipped
with magic! He tingled when he re.
read what he had written. He babe
Rosa prepare for his return and their
immediate marriage.
O'Reilly's love was unlimited; his
trust in the girl was absolute. He
knew, moreover, that she loved and
trusted him. This, to be sure, was a
miracle-a unique phenomenon which
never ceased to amaze him. He did
not dream that every man had felt the
same vague wonder.
And SO the time passed rapidly But,
strange to say. there came no answer

O'Reilly had no difficulty in secul
passage direct to Neuvitas on the Z
l1sh steamer Durham Castle, and a
days later he saw the Atlantic hi

Cuba, when it came fairly into ST,

"Ah! You don't look like one, but
