1t was quite true that Johnnie
O'Reilly-or 1.-THE O'Reilly," as his
friends called him-had little in the
way Of worldly advantage to o'sser any
girl, and it was precisely because Of
this fact that he had accepted a posi-
ton here in Cuba, where, from the very
nature OF: things, promotion was likely
to be more rapid than in the New York
Office Of his firm.
A dancing eye speaks every lam
gaage; a singing heart gathers it's own
audience. Before the young Irish
American had more than a bowling &C.
quaintance with the .commcnest Span.
ish verbs he had a calling acquaint-
ance with some of the most exclusive
people of Matanzas. He had adjusted
himself serenely to his surroundings
when Rosa Varona returned from
school, but with her coming, away
went all his ~complacency. His content
ment vanished; he experienced a total
change in his opinions, his hopes, and
his ambitions.
He discovered, for example, that Ma
tanzas was by no means the out-of-the-
way place he had considered 1t on the
contrary, after meeting Rosa once by
accident, twice by design, and three
times by mutual arrangement, it had
dawned upon him that this was the
chief city Of Cuba, If not, perhaps, the
hub around which the whole world re-
volved; certainly it was the most
agreeable of all cities, since 1t con-
tanned everything that was necessary
for mans happiness. Yet, despite the
thrill of his awakening, O'Reilly was
not at all pleased with himself, for. as
it happened, there vas another girl
back home, and during his first year
of loneliness he had written to her
more freely and more frequently than
any man on such q salary as his had a
right to do.
Inasmuch as her father was O'Reil-
ly's company" 1t may be see that
Rosa Varona's homecoming seriously
complicated matters, not only from q
sentimental, but from a business stand
point.
It was In a thoughtful mood that he
rode up La Cumbre toward the Quinta
de Esteban, late on the afternoon of
Dan Mario's visit. Instead of going d.
rectly to the house, as the merchant
had done, O'Reilly turned off from the
road and, after lettering his horse in
