was over she exploded q surprise
which left both men speechless.

"Your family viii never consent"
O'Reilly ventured; whereupon Miss
Evans laughed.
II haven't such a thing. I'm alone
and unincumbered. No girl was ever
so fortunate. But wait-I'H settle this
whole thing in minute" She Quilted
the table, ran to Alvarado's telephone,
and called a number.
"She's after Enriquez." groaned the
physician. "He's weak; he can't re-
fuse her anything"
Il don't want q woman on my

hide themselves; they would at least
be fed along with the others.
No one had told Asensio that the
government was leaving its prisoners
to shift for themselves, supplying them
with not round of food nor a square
inch of shelter.
Misery bred desperation at last /:
Evangelina's courage failed her, and
she allowed herself to be won over.
She began her preparations by disguis-
ing Rosa. Gathering herbs and berries,
she made stain with which she col
ored the girls face and body, then she
sewed bundle of leaves into the back
of Rosa's waist so that when the lat
ter stopped her shoulders and walked
with stick her appearance of de-
formity was complete.
On the night before their departure
Rosa Yarona prayed Iong and earnest
ly, asking little for herself, but much
for the two black people who had suf-
fered so much for her. She prayed
also that O'Reilly would come before
1t was too late.

the room an electric vitality, q breezi-
ness hard to describe. Altogether she
was such a vision of healthy, unaffect-
ed and smartly gotten-up young wom-
anhood that O'Reilly could only stam-
mer his acknowledgment Of the intro
duction, inwardly berating himself for
his awkwardness.
Alvarado placed an affectionste
hand upon Miss Evans shoulder.
"o'Reilly, this girl has done more for
Cuba than any of US. She has spent
small fortune for medical supplies"
said he.
"Those poor men must live on quiz
nine" the girl exclaimed. Anyone
who can bear TO take the stuff ought
to have all he wants. I've a perfect
passion for giving pills."
O'Reilly liked this girl He had liked
her the instant she favored him with
her friendly smile, and so, trusting
fatuously to his masculine powers of
observation, he tried to analyze her.
He could not guess her age, for an ex-
pensive ladies' tailor can battle the
most discriminating eye. Certainly.
however, she was not oid--he had an
idea that she would tell him her exact
age If he asked her. While he could
not call her beautiful, she was some
thing immensely better-she was alive,
human, interesting, and interested.
The fact that she did not take her
mission" over-seriously proved that
she was also sensible beyond most
women. Yes, that was it. Miss Mo-
rine Evans was a perfectly sensible,
unspoiled young person, who showed
the admirable effects of clean living
and clean thinking coupled with nor
NAL, sturdy constitution. O'Reuly told
himself that here was a girl who could
pour tea, nurse a sick man, or throw
baseball.
And she was as good as her promise.
She did not interrupt when, during
dinner, Alvarado led John aie to talk
about his latest experience in Cuba,
but, on the contrary, her unfiagging m
terest induced O'Reilly to address his
talk more often TO her than to the doc
tor. He soon discovered chat she I'M
derstood the Cuban situation as well
as or better than he, and that Fer SYM

Within a few hours after O'Reilly's
return to New York he telephoned to
Felipe Alvarado, explaining briefly the
disastrous failure Of his Cuban trip.
II feared as much" the doctor told
him. you were lucky to escape with
your life"
"Well, I'm going back. Won't you In
tercede for me with the junta? They're
constantly sending parties"
"Um-m not quite so often as that"
Alvarado was silent for a moment
then he said: "Dine with me tonight
and wen talk it over. I'm eager for
news of my brothers and--there is
