Bor the exertion of his ride had made
him thirsty. you may name your own

1t was quite true that Johnnie
O'Reilly-or 1.-THE OReilly," as his
friends called him-had little in the
way of worldly advantage to offer any
girl, and it was precisely because of
this fact that he had accepted posi-
don 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 Ian
Euage; singing heart gathers its own
audience. Before the Young Irish

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 total
change in his opinions, his hopes, and
bis ambitions.
He discovered, for example, that Ma
tanzas was by no means the out-of-the-
way place he had considered it; 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 it con
tanned everything that was necessary
for mans happiness. Yet, despite the
thrill of his awakening, O'Reilly was

Although this suggestion came natu-
rally enough, Donna Isabel turned cold,
and felt her smile stiffen into a gri
mace. She wondered if Cueto could be
feeling her out deliberately "Sell the
Varona lands?" she queried, after a
momentary struggle with herself. "Ess

1t was his wish that the plantations

"And his wish is sacred to you, eh?"
Cueto nodded his approval, although
his smile was disconcerting. "An ad-

Then Pancho Cueto did an unex-

shook his head.

Retribution.


Although for a long time Donna Isa-
bel had been sure in her own mind that
Pancho Cueto, her administrator, was
robbing her, she had never mustered
courage to call him to a reckoning.
Nevertheless, De Castano's blunt accu-
sation, coupled with her own urgent
needs, served to fix her resolution, and
on the day after the merchants visit
she sent for the overseer, who at the
time was living on one 81 the plan
tations.
Cueto was plainly curious to learn
why he had been sent for, but since
he asked no questions, his employer
