From the Red Cross Bulletin, issued
It Washington. D. c., July 6. the fol-
lowing article appears about the
motor corps service:
More than six thousand women
now are Included In the personnel Of
the Red Cross motor CORPS service. As
q result OF a conference recently held
In Washington at the call OF the direc-
tor OF the bureau OF motor CORPS serv-
Ice, the motor service in six Of the
principal cities OF the country which
previously had been independent In
its organization, was amalgamated
with the Red Cross corps. This makes
the Red Cross motor corps service a
thoroughly co-ordinated institution,
able to meet the local and inter-IOcaI
demands for transportation through
out the length and breadth of the land
on a nationaIized basis.
The organizations which have be-
come parts of the Red Cross motor
corps service are the motor messenger
service of Philadelphia, the National
Service league motor corps of Atlanta,
the National Service league motor
corps OF New York city and Buffalo,
the emergency motor corps OF New
Orleans, and the emergency drivers
Of Chicago. All these organizations
were represented at the conference by
their commanding officers, who now
become commanders of the Red Cross
motor corps service in their respective
cities. The four Independent services

CHAPTER XIV.
Norine Takes CHARGE.

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. It 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, if 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'Rei1ly 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'ReiIly to go and get
some much-needed rest Esteban was

indeed; nevertheless, she expressed
confidence that she could cure him
and reminded O'Reilly that nature has
a blessed way Of building up resist
ance to environment. As a result OF
her good cheer O'Reilly managed tc
enjoy a nights sleep.
He was up at daylight to offer his
services In caring for Esteban Varona
but Norine declined them.

Ruiz tells me it's all jumbled and quite

1t was a balmy, Ianguid morning
about two weeks after OReiIly's re
turn TO the City Among the Leaves. In

Esteban Varona lay, listening to the
admonitions OF his nurse
Johnnie O'Reilly had just babe them

added more than six hundred members
TO the motor corps ranks.
In the comparatively few months
during which the national bureau has
been in control OF the volunteer mo-
tor corps Of the various cities, impOr-
tant progress has been made in effi-
cacy and uniformity Of service. Rules
and requirements have been standard
lied so that those not enthusiastically
sincere in their work find no interest
In the service. Under the conditions
existing a certified driver feels pride
in her position.
In conformity with the request Of
the war department the uniform OF
khaki and the insignia formerly en-
plOyed have been discarded. The new
regulation uniform Of the motor CORPS
is TO be OF Red Cross oxford gray

him, believe in Rosa's safety 50 i'm

O'Reilly: ''We've cleaned out the drug

we may have TO run any minute. I've
just heard about some Cuban prisoners
in the ca1aboose. Gimme a hand and
We'll let 'em out"
Sharing in the general consterna-
ton at the attack, the Jail guards had
disappeared, leaving Lopez men free
to break into the prison. When O'Reil-
~ Joined them the work was well IN
der way. Selling whatever implements
they could find, Judson and O'Reflly
went from cell to cell, battering, pry-
ing, smashing. leaving their comrades
to rescue the inmates. While the
Americans. smashed lock after lock,
their comrades dragged the astOnished
inmates from their kennels, hustled
them into the street, and took them up
behind their saddles.

sounding, when Judson and O'Reilly
ran out of the prison, remOunted, and

The retreating Cubans still main
tanned their uproar, discharging their
rifles into the air. shrieking defiance at
their invisible foes, and vOicing insult
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 a 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 canine real
which followed the river bank. This
road for a short distance was exposed
to the fire from one port; then it was
sheltered by bit Of rising ground.
