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 Mt Cubitas, OReillv had
counted upon securing a sailbnat from
a certain fisherman whose sympathies
were known to be loyal, but in this he
was disappointed. The party arrived
at it's destination, a tiny clearing on
an unfrequented part Of the north
shore only to find 1t 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,
its planks vorm-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 Norlne of turning
hack she was panic-stricken at the sug-
gestiOn.

relief.

OReilly hesitated; he lowered his
voice to a whisper. ''We found the

Norine uttered a cry. "Not Don Es-

Johnnie produced from his pocket q
handful of coins.
Branch's eyes bulced, he touched
gold piece respectfully, weighed it care
fully. then pressed it to his lips. He
rubbed it against his checks and in his
hair: he placed it between his teeth
and bit it.

down the village street in great haste
and evident excitement. Approaching
between the drunken rows of grass
nuts was a little knot of people. Even

siderable crowd, for men and women
and children came hurrying from their
tasks. There were three figures in the
lead. man and two boys, and they
walked slowly, ploddingly, as If weary

"I'n risk anything raft, even. Is
there an even chance of our getting

When morning came 0'Reilly made

haps five miles across the sound to the
fringe of keys which in this ncighbor-

water. Here it was calm, so the run
was soon made.
When the coastline Of Cuba had be-
come blur astern Rosa crept back
and seated herself beside her husband.
How much love you" she whispered.
But l never can tell you, for we are
never alone. Was there ever such
courtship, such a marriage, and such a
wedding journey as ours?"
1t proved to be long, long night, for
the boat, though roomy, was uncom-
Portable. Daylight brought an In
creased breeze which heeled the boat
further. Fortunately the haze was not
thick enough to wholly obscure the sun
and so 0'Reilly was enabled to hold his
course. But he did not like the look
Of things. In time there came a spite
ful drizzle which completely hid the
sun and left no Indication of the course
except the direction whence drove the
rain.
No one spoke now. Even Esteban lay
silent. shivering miserably upon his
sodden bed. Dosa finally Strengthened

Deliverance came suddenly, ana from

tRneously and stood ankle deep in the
wash, waving their hats and their Gala
bashes, and shouting crafty until she
saw them and fetched up.
There was babble of voices, shout
ed questions, historical answers. Rosa
was weeping softly: Norine had lifted
Esteban and now clutched him tight,
while her tears fell upon his face.
The schooner was a sponger bound
for Nassau; its blackbird crew spoke
English and they willingly helped the
strangers oversize, laughing and shout
ing in childlike display Of excitement.
Soon there was hot food and coffee,
dry beds and blankets for those who
needed them.

The French Trlcolor.

The Trlcolor, the French national
standard Of blue, white and red d.
vided vertically, originated during the
first French revolution. In 1880 the
leaf plucked by Camille DesmouIins
in the garden Of the PalaIs Royal be-
came rallylng sign, and green was
to be adopted as the national color /;
but, remembering that green was the
color Of the hated Prince d'Artois, they
rejected It on the following day.
They at first chose, instead, blue and
red, the cOlors of the city Of Paris,
and later added the white of royalty,
that had been faithfully preserved by
the national guard. This new standard
was adopted with enthusiasm. A few
months after taking of the Bastlle,
Bailly and Lafayette offered to Louis
XVI the three-colored cocard as
badge of reconciliation with the king.
Thus the Trlcolor originated as the
symbol of the liberty Of the French
nation, and 1t continued as such even
when afterward the reconciliation"
with the king ended with his decapita-
ton.

were clad in clean white clothes; a

Rosa had vastly changed. She was

breast. O'Reilly held her of and de
