The French TricoIor.

The Tricolor, the French national
standard Of blue, white and red, d.
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1889 the
leaf plucked by Camille Desmoulins
in the garden Of the Palais Royal be-
came a rallying sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color
but, remembering that green was the
color of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected 1t on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the colors of the city of Paris,
and later added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking of the Bastile,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as a
badge Of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Trlcolor originated as the
symbol Of the liberty Of the French
nation, and 1t continued as such ever
when afterward the reconciliation"
with the king ended with his decapita-
ton.

CHAPTER XXI.
The Ralnbow'a End.

The Journey to the coast was made
by, easy stages and Esteban stood 1t
fairly well. Jacket, Of course, went
along. Upon the announcement Of
O'Reilly's intended departure for the
States he had promptly abandoned
Cuba to her fate. He foreswore her
utterly and declared himself a loyal
American citizen.
Relying upon the best information
obtainable at Cubitas, O'Reilly had
counted upon securing sailboat from
certain fisherman whose sympathies
were known to be loyal, but in this he
was disappointed. The party arrived
at its destination, tiny clearing on
an unfrequented part Of the north
shore, only to find 1t deserted and al
ready grown to weeds. The house was
empty, the boats were gOne-all but
one old hulk, too rotten to warrant
moving, which lay high up on the sand,
its planks worm-eaten, its seams wide
spread by the sun.
O'Reilly was in a quandary. He
gravely doubted Esteban's ability to
stand the rough return journey, and
when he spoke to Norine of turning
back she was panic-strlcken at the sug-
gestion.
"No, now she cried, anxiously. 1--WE
must get him away. His heart is set on
going through and 1t would-kill him
to go back"
"Then guess we'll have to go
through" he smiled.
For the first time in their acquaint-
ance Norine lost control of herself.
Promise that you won't go back"
she implored him.
"Very well, If you'll consent to risk

"one only needs to pray long enough
and strong enough and he will hear"
1t was month later. Quaint old Mas
sau lay doing under an afternoon sun.
Up from the beach came O'Reilly and
his youthful alter ego, Jacket. They
were clad in clean white clothes; a
month of rest had done them good.
Jacket was no longer wizened; he was
plump and sleek and as full of mischief
as colt, while O'Reilly's leanness
had disappeared and he filled his gar
ments as man should.
They turned in through a picket gate
and up a walk. At the end stood cot
tage with wide porches hidden beneath
jasmine and honeysuckle and morning
glory vines.
Look, Rosal |" Jacket lifted the
heavy string of fish. eve had stu
pendous luck" But Rosa was in her
husbands arms and neither she nor
O'Reilly had eyes for anything but
each other.
Rosa had vastly changed. She was
clad in charming little muslin dress,
there were dimples In her cheeks, she
wore a heavy Marechal Neil bud at her
breast. O'Reilly held her off and de-
voured her with his eyes.
Sweetheart, you grow fresher and
more beautiful every hour" said he.
Rosa danced upon her toes, and
/ tugged at him. "But come quickly and
see the surprise we have. I've been
wild for your return, so hurry" She
led him swiftly up the steps, and there,
standing beside chair, was Esteban

She. stepped to the door, only to be-
hold her late companion making off
down the village street in great haste
and evident excitement. Approaching
between the drunken rows of grass
huts was a little knot Of people. Even
as Norine watched 1t grew into con-
siderable crowd, for men and women
and children came hurrying from their
tasks. There were three figures in the
lead, man and two boys, and they
walked slowly, ploddlngly, as If weary
from long march.

she scarcely recognized. She retreated
into the doorway with one hand upon
her leaplng heart. "Esteban! Look

Young Varona struggled from his
hammock. "Rosaw he called, loudly,
"ROsal"
There came a shadow, then in the
doorway the figure of man, tattered
scarecrow of man whose feet were
bare and whose brown calves were ex-
posed through tapping rags. His breast
was naked where thorns had tried to
stay him; his beard, even his hair,
were matted and unkempt, and the
mud of many trails lay caked upon his
garments.

tears, Norine found herself staring up

breast and sobs Of Joy were tearing at
her.

The visitor was being conducted
through a state institution for the
insane and his guide was an affable
young man from the harmless ward
whose keen intelligence made the Wis
itor wonder why he was under re-
straint.
Stopping in front Of padded cell,
they looked at a stout, short individ-
ual with forelock draped over one
eye and a pose Enthusiastically
Napoleonic.
"Thlnks he's the Little Corporal,
eh?" the visitor asked Of the guide.
Eyes; he's had that hallucinatiOn
for FIVE years."
Across the corridor in another cell
was an old man poring over num-
ber of blue prints.
"What's the matter with him?"
"Poor chap" laughed the guide; ''he
thinks that he has invented a subma-
rine-proof ship. The hull Of the ship
is honeycombed with holes; when the
war-head of the torpedo strikes, 1t
goes into one of the holes and is held
fast by its Sides"
But" objected the visitor, Suppose
the torpedo strikes between the
holes?"
''In that case," said the guide as he
shook with laughter, at wouldn't
count and the submarine would be en-
titled to another try"
In the last cell was a middle-aged
man at high desk. He looked up as
the others approached and nodded
smilingly.
"What's the matter with him?"
queried the visitor.

that he is an authority on income-tax

"Of course 1 will. Well take him

ORellly saw little of his sweetheart
that day, for Norine promptly bore the
girl off to her own quarters and there
attended to her needs, the most press
ing of which was clothing.
While O'Rellly was similarly en-
gagged in making himself presentable,
he and Branch talked earnestly, with
the result that they repaired later to
General Gomez. O'Reilly concluded by
saying:
1--WE done what came to do, sir, but

has been through. She's very nervous
and far from well. Esteban, too, isn't

General Gomez nodded. miss Evans

said, positively. "That's why we came
to see you. Let us-Branch and me
take all three of them to the United
States"
"But how? How can you take two
women and sick man"
"We'll manage somehow" O'Reilly
declared. ''It isn't far across to the

back If you so desire"
Gomez shook his white head. "No

The old soldier was right. Rosa die

down the city among the leaves wit

Rosa, very dainty in her borrowed

timid; she evoked much admiration

O'Reilly she blushed to the roots Of
her hair and shrank close to her hus

he relieved Norine's anxiety and smoth
kered her apprehensions.
When Rosa and O'Reilly returned tt
Esteban's cabin they found Norint
ahead of them. She was kneeling be

beach"
"I'll risk anything-a raft, even. Is
there an even chance of our getting
acrossT
perhaps. 1t all depends upon the
weather."
When morning came O'Reilly made a
closer examination of the abandoned
boat. The result was not encouraging,
but he determined to make use of it,
and the crazy craft was launched. 1t
was necessary to handle her gingerly,
and when she took the water she Teak
ed abOminably. But during the night
she swelled and in the morning 1t was
possible to bail her out.
From the point of leaving It was per-
haps five miles across the sound to the
fringe of keys which in this neighbor-
hood bordered the old Bahama chan
mel with its unplumbed depths of blue
water. Here 1t was calm, so the run
was soon made.
When the coastline of Cuba had be-
come blur astern Rosa crept back
and seated herself beside her husband.
"How much love you," she whispered.
"But l never can tell you, for we are
never alone. Was there ever such a
courtship, such marriage, and such a
wedding journey as ours?"
1t proved to be long, long night, for
the boat, though roomy, was uncom-
Portable. Daylight brought an in
creased breeze which heeled the boat
further. Fortunately the haze was not
thick enough to wholly obscure the sun
and so O'Reilly was enabled to hold his
course. But he did not like the look
Of things. In time there came a spite
full drizzle which completely hid the
sun and left no indication of the course
except the direction whence drove the
rain.
No one spoke now. Even Esteban lay
silent, shlvering miserably upon his
sodden bed. Rosa finally Strengthened
her aching back and smiled at her hus.

"Are we going down." she asked.
"Oh no This is merely squall," he
told her, with an assumption Of conf.

Deliverance came suddenly, and from
the least-expected quarter. Out of the
mist to starboard there materialized q
shape, schooner driving ahead of the
wind. The refugees deserted her stimuli
taneously and stood ankle deep in the
wash, waving their hats and their Gala
bashes, and shouting crazily until she
saw them and fetched up.
There was a babble Of voices, shout
ed questions, hysterical answers. Rosa
was weeping softly; Norine had lifted
Esteban and now clutched him tight
while her tears fell upon his face.
The schooner was a sponger bound
for Nassau; its blackblrd crew spoke
English and they willingly helped the
strangers oversize, laughing and shout

Soon there was hot food and coffee

needed them.

and kissed her. Rosa's teeth were
