Into Matanzas, city OF beggary and
death, came Rosa Varona and her two
negro companions, looking for relief.
They made the journey without mis-
hap, for they were too destitute to
warrant plundering, and Rosa's dis
guise concealed what charms remained
to her. But once they had entered the
city, what an awakening What suf-
fering, what poverty, what rags they
saw! The three of them grew weak
with diSmay at the horror of 1t all !;
but there was no retreat.
Asensio built a makeshift shelter
close under La Cumbre- it the
ruins of the Quinta de Esteban were
visible-and there they settled down
to live. They had hoped to lose them
selves among the other prisoners, and
in this they were successful, for none
of their miserable neighbors were In
any condition to notice them, and
there was nothing sufficiently con-
spicuOus about two tattered blacks
and their hunchbacked daughter to
draw attention from the soldiers.
Asensio foraged zealously, and at
first he managed somehow to secure
enough food for his little family. One
day the soldiers seized him and put
him to work on the Notifications along
with a gang Of other men who ap-
peared strong enough to stand hard
labor. Asensio was not paid for this,
but he was allowed one meal a day,
and he succeeded In bringing home
each night a share of his allotment.
1t is surprising how little nourish-
ment will sustain life. Rosa and her
two friends had long felt the pinch
of hunger, but now they plumbed new
depths Of privatiOn, for there were
days when Asensio and his fellow con-
scripts received nothing at all. After
a time Evangelina began making bas-
kets and weaving palm-leaf hats, which
she sold at six cents each She taught
Rosa the craft, and they worked from
dawn until dark, striving with nfmbIe.
dreless fingers to supplement Asensio's
ratiOnS and postpone starvation. But
1t was a hopeless task. Other nimble
fingers worked as tirelessly as theirs,
and the demand for hats was limited.
Their hut overlooked the road to
San Severino, that Via Dolorosa on
which condemned prisoners were
marched out to execution, and In time
the women learned to recognize the
peculiar blaring notes of a certain cor
net, which signified that another "Cu-
ban cock was about to crow" When

That Sick Man From San Antonio.
1t was part of the strategy practiced
by the Cuban leaders to divide their
forces into separate columns for the
purpose of raiding the smaller Spanish
garrisons and harassfng the troops sent
TO their relief, reaSSembling these
bands only when and where some tell
ing blow was to be struck.
When O'ReiIly and Branch enlisted
in the Army OF the Orient they were
assigned to the command of Col. Mig
uel Lopez, and 1t was under his leader
ship that they made their first &C
Quaintance with the peculiar methods
of Cuban warfare
There had been, at first, some doubt
OF Branch's fitness to take the field at
all-he had suffered a severe hemor-
rhage shortly after his arrival at Cubi-
tas-and it was only after a historical
demonstration on his part that he had
been accepted as a soldier. He simoIv
would not be left behind. At. first fbe
CubaHs regarded him with mingled
contempt and pity, for certainly no
less promising volunteer had ever
taken service with them. But uDon
the occasion OF the very first fight all
i1-WiiI disappeared as If By magic, for.
although Branch deliberately disobeved
orders, he nevertheless displayed such
amazing audaesty In the face OF the
enemy, such a theatrical contempt for
bullets. as to stupefy every one. More

Branch's name and now edged closer
exclaiming:

O'Reilly jerked his head toward the

OF his life. and yet he resents it. My
nerves are frayed out. I've argued my
self hoarse, but he m1sconstrues every

shocking Oaths fell from his beard
less lips whenever he opened them to
speak English, and O'ReiIiy's efforts to
break the boy OF the habit proved quite
unavailing.
This Camagueyan boy was a char
| acter. He was perhaps sixteen, and
small for his sge-a mere child, in
| fact. Nevertheless. he was Il seasoned
veteran, ana his American camD-mates
! had grown exceedingly fond of him. He
was a pretty. graceful yOungster; his
eyes were large and soft and dark; his
face was as sensitive and mobile as
that of a girl; and yet, despite his
| youth, he had won a reputation for
| daring and ferocity quite as notable In
its way as was the renown of Leslie
Branch.
In order to expand his knowledge OF
English-of which, by the way, he was
inordinately proud-Jacket had volun-
teered to serve as O'Reilly's striker,
and the result had been fast friend
ship. It was O'ReiIIy who had given
the boy his nickname name
prompted by a marked eceentricity, for
although Jacket possessed the two gar
ments which constituted the ordinary
insurrecto uniform, he made q prae-
tice OF wearing only one. On chilly
nights, or on formal occasions, he
wore both waistcoat and trousers, but
at other times he dispensed entirely
with the latter, and his legs went
naked. They were naked now, as, with
the modesty Of complete unconscious
ness, he squatted in the shade, putting
thoughtfully at his giant cheroot.

Ing his exploits to correspond with his
moods. with the result that he attained
popularity which was unique, nay,
sensational.
O'Reilly alone understood the reason
for the fellows morbid frritabiIity, his
suicidal recklessness; but when he pri-
Vately demonstrated he was gruh1y told
to mind his own business. Branch fat
~ refused to modify his conduct: he
seemed really bent upon cheating the
disease that made his life a misery.
But, as usual, fate was perverse !;
she refused to humor the sick mans
hope. When, after blindly inviting
death, Leslie had emerged from sew
eraI engagements unscathed, his sur
prise-and perhaps a natural relief at
finding himself whoie-became tinged
with a certain apprehension lest he
survive those deliberately courted dan
gers only TO succumb to the ills and
pr1VaaoRs OF camp life. The fellows
tongue grew ever sharper; his society
became intolerable, his gloom Oppres-
sive and irresistibly contagious. When,
after several weeks of campaigning,
the column went into camp for a short
rest, O'Reiily decided that he would
try TO throw OF the burden Of LesIie's
overwhelming detection. and, If pos
sible, shift portion of it upon the
shoulders of Captain JudsOn.
On the day after their arrival O'Reil-
~ and the big artiIleryman took advan-
tage Of a pleasant stream to battle and
wash their clothes; then, while they
lay in their hammOcks, enjoying the
luxury Of a tattered oiI-cloth shelter

garments, O'Reiny spoke what was In

in the damp of dewy mornings they
heard that bugle they ceased their
weaving long enough to cross them
selves and whisper a prayer for the
souls Of those who were on their way
to die. But this was the only respite
they allowed themselves.
Rosa meditated much upon the con-
trast between her present and her for
mer condition. Matanzas was the civ
of her birth, and time was when she
had trod its streets in arrogance and
pride, when she had possessed friends
by the score among its residents. But
OF all these there was not one to whom
she dared appeal In this, her hour of

OF meeting sympathy, her pride was

strong stomachs as well as weak
ones.
Your vital forces reach their
lowest level when the weather is
the hottest. Then the danger Is
the greatest.
You can't guard your stomach
and bowels too carefully through
the long, hot season. Don't take
any chance. Indigestion, sour
stomach, that wretched, bloated
feeling, belching, food repeating,
pains that claw at stomach and
bowels and an endless train OF
stomach ills that make life mis-
cradle are greatly aggravated IN
the hot weather.
