The next instant she lay upon his
breast and sobs of joy were tearing at
her.
The story of Rosas rescue came
slowly and in fragments, for the news
of O'Reilly's return caused a sensa-
ton. His recital was interrupted many
times. AS matter of fact, our get

The Rainbow's 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
a 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 it 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,
it's 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-stricken at the sug-
=aStion.
"No, no. she cried anXionslv. "We
must get him away. His heart is set or
going through and it would-kill him
to go back"
''Then guess we'E have to go
through" he smiled.
For the first time IL their acouaint-
ance Norine lost control of herself.
Promise that you won't go back"
she implored him.

there an even chance of our getting
across?"
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 nandle her gingerly,
and when she took the water she leak
ed abominably. But during the night
she swelled and in the morning it 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 neighbour
hood bordered the old Bahama chan
mel with its unplumbed depths of blue
water. Here it was calm, so the run
was soon made.
When the coastline of Cuba had be-
come a blur astern Rosa crept back
and seated herself beside her husband.
'How much love you" she whispered.

Some Timely Hints

To prolong the life of white doeskin
wash gloves, put a, finger OF silk
glove inside the fingers which are apt
to wear out first. Or if the glove is
already worn, insert the silk finger and
with fine thread sew the outside down
upon 1t. Gloves, even when washed
constantly, will last surprisingly long
time when protected in this way.
In mending thin jersey underwear
use Brussels net. 1t is strong and elias
tic and will often outyear the gar
ment. A piece of fine net placed I'M
der fine embroidery or lace which is
wearing viii hold it together for long
time.
When sewing on hooks try spreading
wide the rings through which the
thread is passed and the hooks will
never pull out of place if well sewed.

White and Rlue

The combination of dark blue and
white is not new, but it has gained a
renewed interest this summer. Per-
haps the dark blue calico frocks had
something to do with it, for among the
best Of these were the ones with fine
white pattern on a dark blue ground.
And they were usually made up with
pipings and facings and other touches
of white. Now, for later years. frocks
of blue serge enlivened and character
lied with touches of white satin, are
shown.

This season New York has two fash

rainbow boasts. There are dark mod

mauve types for country wear. Scroll

Washington, May 11.-A German wireless message saying that grave insubordnation is a daily occurrence in American army training camps was made public today by the state de- partment as an Illustration of the lengths to which the German govern ment is going in an effort to keep up the spirit of the civilian population.
 The message, which was sent out May 9, and which was given cut by the state department without com mcnt. said:
 "Accordina to Information from Christiana, Norwegians recently ar irving from America say that grave cases of insubordination occur daily in American training camps. At first breaches of discipline were punished by death but this WAS stopped owing tc the number of cases. In partcu- larlv flagrant instance all soldiers in a camp acted collectively and obtained not only immunity for the mutine"rs but punishment for all officers.
 Furthermore, much damage to works and material is being done"
 German wireless messages are sent out for circulation in ncutral countries and fer the information of German diplomatic representatives abaoad. Officials have no doubt that the fore going statement was given general circulation turnout Germany as well as in Austria Hungary.

The men we're brought in from nearby camp. Large crowds cheered them in the streets and they were reviewed by King George and Ambassador Page. Bright sunshine and groups of cheerine people greeted the Ameri- cans when they arrived early this morning at the Waterloo station. All though the presence of American soldiers in London has long been a ia miliar sight, this was only the second time Americans had ever been seen in marching order, and it was London's first opportunity to view a part of the national army.
 In a few minutes they passed into the streets, marching over the near est Thames bridge on the way to Well lingtcn Barracks, at Hyde Park where they were marshled for the parade.
 Message to Each From King
 On arriving at the barracks each American trooper received personal message from the king. The envelope bore the royal coat of arms and these words: "A message from His Majesty King. George V."
 The message on the note paper of Windsor Castle, and written in fac smile of the kings hand writing was as follows: ,
