CHAPTER XIV.
Norine Takes Charge.

During the next few days O'Reilly
had reason to bless the happy chance
which had brought Norine Evans to
Cuba. During the return journey from
San Antonio de los Banos he had dis
covered how really Ill Esteban Varona
was, how weak his hold upon life.
After listening to his rawlings, o'Reilly
began to fear that the poor fellows
mind was permanently affected. 1t was
an appalling possibility, one to which
he could not reconcile himself. To
think that somewhere in that fevered
brain was perhaps locked the truth
about Rosa's fate, If not the secret of
her whereabouts, and yet to be unable
to wiring an intelligent answer to a
single question, was intolerable. The
hours Of that ride were among the
longest O'Reilly had ever passed.
But Norine Evans gave him new
heart. She took complete charge of
the sick man upon his arrival in camp !;
then in her brisk, matter-of-fact way
she directed O'Reilly to go and get
some much-needed rest. Esteban was
Ill, very ill., she admitted; there was no
competent doctor near, and her own
facilities for nursing were primitive
indeed; nevertheless, she expressed
confidence that she could cure him,
and reminded O'Reilly that nature has
blessed way of building up resist
ance to environment. AS a result of
her good cheer O'Rellly managed to
enjoy a nights sleep.
He was up at daylight to offer his
services in caring for Esteban Varona,
but Norine declined them.
"His fever is down little and he
has taken some nourishment," she re-

KIDNEY TROUBLE NOT
EASILY RECOGNIZED
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected

An examining physician for one of the
prominent life insurance companies, in an
interview of the subject, made the as
tonishing statement that one reason why
so many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble is so COM
mon to the American people, and the large
majority of those whose applications are
declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease.
Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root is
soon realized. 1t stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
We find that Swamp-Root is strictly
an herbal compound and we would ad-
wise our readers who feel in need of such
remedy to give it trial. 1t is on sale
1t all drug stores in bottles of two sizes,
medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to Dr..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and

later he emerged with q huge armful

He had scarcely finished when Jud-
son reined in at the door and called to
O'Reilly: "We've cleaned out the drug
store. Better get move on you, for
we may have to run any minute. I've
just heard about some Cuban prisoners
in the calaboose. Gimme hand and
we'll let 'em out"
Sharing in the general consterna-
tlon at the attack, the Jail guards had
disappeared, leaving Lopez men free
to break into the prison. When O'Reil-
ly Joined them the work was well un-
der way. Selling whatever implements
they could find, Judson and O'Reilly
went from cell to cell, batterlng, pry-
ing, smashing, leaving their comrades
to rescue the inmates. While the
Americans smashed lock after lock,
their comrades dragged the astonished
inmates from their kennels, hustled
them into the street, and took them up
behind their saddles.
The raid was over, "retreat" was
sounding, when Judson and O'Reilly
ran out Of the prison, remounted, and

streaming back toward the plaza.

ported. "That food you boys rlsked
your silly lives for may come in handy,
after ALL"
"I dare say he won't be able to talk
to me today?" O'Reilly ventured.
"Not today, nor for many days, I'm
afraid"
"If you don't mind, then, I'll hang
around and listen to what he says" he
told her, wistfully. "He might drop a
word about Rosa"
ITO be sure. So far he's scarcely
mentioned her. 1 can't understand
much that he says, Of course, but Mrs.
Ruiz tells me it's all jumbled and quite
unintelllglble."
1t was balmy, languid morning
about two weeks after O'Reilly's re-
turn to the City Among the Leaves. In
a hammock swung between two trees
Esteban Varona lay, listening to the
admonitions of his nurse.
Johnnie O'Reilly had just bade them
both hearty good morning and now
Norine was saying: "One hour, no
more. You had temperature again
last night, and 1t came from talking too
much Remember, it takes me just one
hour to make my rounds, and If you
are not through with your tales Of

q nod and smile she left.
AS Esteban looked after her his
white teeth cleaned and his hollow
face lit up.
"She brings me new llfe," he told
O'Reilly. "She is so strong, so healthy,
so full Of life herself. She is wonder
full When I first saw her bending over
me 1 thought I was dreaming. Some
times, even yet, think she cannot be
real. But she is, eh?"
"She is quite substantial" O'Reilly
smiled. "All the sick fellows talk as
you do"
Esteban looked up quickly; his face
darkened. "She-er-nurses others

"Your faith does as much for me as

ing invitations to combat. This ferocity,
however, served only to terrify further
the civil population and to close the
shutters of San Antonio the tighter.
Meanwhile, the loyal troops remained
safely in their blockhouses, pouring a
steady fire into the town. And despite
this admirable display Of courage the
visitors showed deep respect for their
enemies craftsmanship, taking advan-
tage Of whatever shelter there was.
The raiders had approached San An
tonic de los Banos across the fields at
the rear, but Colonel Lopez led their
retreat by way Of the camino real
which followed the river bank. This
road for short distance was exposed
