CHAPTER XIV.
NorIne rakes charae.

tNOFtNG tHkGo SVdTHGs
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, IL 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 i'll, 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 a resist
ance to environment. AS result Of
her good cheer O'Reilly managed to
enjoy a nights sleep.
He was up at daylight to offer his
services in caring for Esteban Varona,
but NOrine declined them.
"EIls fever is down a little and he
has taken some nourishment," she re-

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 camlno real
which followed the river bank, This
road for short distance was exposed
to the fire from one port; then 1t was
sheltered by bit Of rising ground,

ported. "That food you boys risked
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, wlstfully. "He might drop a
word about Rosa"
ITO be sure. So far he's scarcely
mentioned her. can't understand
much that he says, of course, but Mrs.
Ruiz tells me it's all jumbled and quite
unintelllgible."
1t was a balmy, languid morning
about two weeks after O'Reilly's re-
turn to the City Among the Leaves. In
hammock swung between two trees
Esteban Varona lay, listening to the
admonitlons 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 a temperature again
last night, and 1t came from talking too
much. Remember, 1t takes me just one
hour to make my rounds, and If you
are not through with your tales of
blood and battle when get back you'll
have to finish them tomorrow" With
a nod and smile she left.
AS Esteban looked after her his
white teeth cleaned and his hollow
face lit up.
"She brings me new life" he told
| O'Reilly. "She is so strong, so healthy
so full Of life herself. She is wonder
full! When first saw her bending over
me I thought 1 was dreaming. Some
times, even yet, I think she cannot be
real. But she is, eh?"
"She is quite substantial" O'Reilly
smiled. "AI the sick fellows talk as
you do"
Esteban looked up quickly; his face
darkened. "She-er-nurses others
Ell? I'm not the only one?"
"WeII, hardly"
There was a brief pause; then Este
ban shifted his position and his tone
changed. "Tell me, have you heart
any news?"
'Not yet, but we win hear some be
fore long I'm sure"
"Your faith does as much for me al
this Iady's care. But when you g
away. when I'm alone. when I begin Il

yourself to doubt" O'Rellly said, quick

Don't Ask Personal Questions.

Never presume upon your intimacy
with another to ask personal ques-
tions. No matter how good friends
two may be, both have certain matters
which they prefer to keep TO them
selves. The presumption which. under
the excuse of intimacy. pushes Its way
into the privacies of the spirit is un-
worthy of you. Respect your friends
reserves, and insist that they shall re-
spect yours.
