erection, she knew that Asensio was not
the sort Of fellow to be trusted with q
secret Of great magnitude-he was
boastful, laxative, excitable; he was
just the sort to bring destruction upon
all of them. Rosa had sufficient intel
ligence to realize that even If she found
her fathers riches they would only
constitute another and q greater men,
ace to the lives Of all of them. Never
theless, she wished to set her mind ut
rest ono for all. Taking Evangelina
with her, she climbed La Cumbre one
day In search of roots and vegetables.
1t turned out to be a sad experience
for both women. The negress wept
noisily at the destruction wrought by
Pancho Cueto, and Rosa was overcome
by painful memories. Little that was
familiar remained; evidence Of Cue
to's all-devouring greed spoke from the
sprouting burrows his men had dug,
from the naked trees they had felled
and piled In orderly heaps, from the
stones and mortar of the house itself.
The well remained, although It had
been planked over, but 1t was partially
filled up with rubbish, as Rosa dlscov-
cred when she peered into 1t. Only a
tiny pool of scum was In the bottom.
After a long scrutiny the girl arose,
convinced at last Of her brothers delu-
sion, and vaguely ashamed Of her own
credulity. No, If ever there had been
a treasure, 1t was hidden elsewhere;
all Of value that this well contained for
Rosa was her memory Of a happiness
departed. OF such memories, the well,
the whole place, was brimful. Here,
as a child, she had romped with Este
ban. Here, as a girl, she had dreamed
her first dreams, and here O'Reilly, her
smiling knight, had found her. Yonder
was the very spot where he had held
her in his arms and begged her to
await the day Of his return. Well, she
had waited.
But was that Rosa vnrona who had
promised so freely and so confidently

of happy days and end this nightmare
misery.
Then, too, she dreaded any risk Of
discovery by Mario de CaStano, who
was q hard, Yindlctive man. His part
ing words had shown her that he
would never forgive the slight she had
put upon him /; and she did not wish to
put his threats to the test. Once Rosa
saw him, on her way to buy a few
centavos' worth of sweet potatoes; he
was huddled in his victoria, a huge
bladder of flesh, and he rode the
streets deaf to the plants Of starving
children, blind to the misery Of be-
seeching mothers. Rosa shrank into
a doorway and drew her tattered shawl
closer over her face for fear Don Ma
rio might recognize in this misshapen
body and in these pinched, discolored
features the beauteous blossom he had
| craved.
Nor did she forget Colonel Cobo. The
mans memory haunted her, asleep and
awake; of him she was most desperate
ly afraid. When for the first time she
saw him riding at the head Of his cut
threats she was like to swoon In her
tracks, and for a whole day thereafter
she covered in the hut, trembling at
every sound.
In these dark hours she recalled the
stories Of the old Varona treasure and
Esteban's interesting theory Of Its
whereabouts, but she could not bring
herself to put much faith in either. OF
course 1t was barely possible that there
was indeed a treasure, and even that
Esteban's surmise had been correct.
But 1t was little more than a remote
possibility. Distance lends a rosy
color to reality to our most absurd
imaginings, but, like the haze that tints
a far-off landscape, it dissolves upon
approach. Now that Rosa was here, in
sight Of the ruined quinta itself, her
hopes and half-beliefs faded.
More than once she was tempted to
confide in Evangelina and Asensio, but
she thought better Of 1t. Although she
put implicit faith in E~vangelina's dis.

ROSA AND HER TWO COMPANIONS FACE DEATH FROM
STARVATION OR DISEASE

Synopsis-Don Esteban Varona, rich Cuban planter, hides his
money and jewels and the secret of the hiding place is lost when he
and the only other person who knows it are killed. Donna Isabel, step
mother OF the Varona twins-Esteban and Rosa-searches vainly for
years for the hidden treasure. Johnny ORenly, an American, loves
and is loved by Rosa. Donna Isabel falls to her death in an old well
while walking in her sleep. Estebans connection with the Cuban
inSurrectos is discovered and he and Rosa are forced to fee. OReily,
in New York on business, gets a letter from Rosa telling of her peril
and he starts for Cuba. Pancho Cueto, faithless manager of the Varona
estates, betrays Esteban and Rosa, leading Colonel Cobo, notorious
Spanish guerrilla, to their hiding place. Esteban, who is absent returns
just in time to rescue Rosa. OReinys efforts to reach Rosa are fruit
less and he is compelled by the Spanish authorities to leave Cuba.
Esteban wreaks a terrible vengeance on Pancho Cueto. A fierce fight
with Spanish soldiers ensues. Esteban escapes, but, badly wounded
and half conscious. he is unable to find his way back to his camp.
Rosa, with the faithful servants who had remained with her. is forced
to obey the concentration order of General Weyler, the Spanish COM
mander, and seek refuge In Matanzas. OReily returns to Cuba with
a band Of fWbusters, which includes Norine Evans, an American girl
who has dedicated her fortune and services as nurse to the Cuban
cause. Although warned by Cuban officers that both Esteban and Rosa
probably are dead. OReily refuses to abandon the search. He joins
the forces of General Gomez, the Cuban commander.

slst asking you to be my mate. You
just suited me. You were all that
an orlole could ask for. And I don't

Mrs. Orchard Oriole chirped softly.
"You were very devoted, yes indeed"
che said. "Mr. Orchard Orioles are
always famous for being tremendously
devoted during the mating season.
though I've heard they could be quite
cross If anyone annoyed them"
"Thnt's so" agreed Mr.. Orchard
Oriole. "But my dear, to return to
the subject Of your frock. I think it's
quite perfect. Never will l forget how
my heurt went a-flutter and how I
burst into song when l first saw You
in the orchard, with n lovely dress Of
olive green which looked so much like
the early spring leaves. And 1t is as
becoming to you as ever"
"Ah, you're a dear Mr.. Oriole," said
Mrs. Orchard Oriole. "And we have
n happy home, haven't wei" she asked.
II think It's so nice to have such q long
nest as we have. It's almost like q
deep bag, and freshly dried grass is
such good material for q nest. Much
better than straw and sticks. Our or

"won't you tell mt what I was like
when l was a little babyf"
"Ah, yes" said Mother 0rlole, "you
were n Of five little blulsh-white,
spotted eggs, scrawled all over with
black marks. Now your coat Is very
unlike your fathers. in fact no one
who didn't know would take you
for his son. Next year you will wear
a suit like my dress and you will be,
given q handsome necktle like your
fathers.
"And the year following that you
will be allowed to wear q beautiful
chestnut and black suit as your daddy
wears, and that will be the same with
your brothers who are off hunting for

STRIKE STOPS
WEEKLIES FROM
NEW YORK CITY
Local Newsdealers and Subscribers
Fail to Receive Regular Copies OF

lions and Rumors.

Weekly New York magazines due
here Friday, Saturday and yesterday
have not yet been received by sub
scribers or newsdealers in this city,
and in the absence of adequate ex-
plantations, much discussion was
heard here today concerning the pos
sible reason for the delay.
One story which obtained consider
able circulation was to the effect that
of the popular magazines. which
enjoys much patronage throughout
the country, had been withheld from
the mails owing to the fact that it was
said to contain such comments on
President Wilson's recen Democratic
appeal to the voters as were officially
considered unfit for reading before
election day.
Although the m in itself ap-
peared incredible, an investigation
reaching all, the way. to. Minneapolis
and New York, was started this morn
ing with the result that an announce
ment was made to the effect that such
stories were totally without founda-
ton. and that all last weeks maya
zines and weeklies published in New
York were delayed because of a
printers strike in that city.

Epidemic
I !. Continues


The, Spanish influenza epidemic APP
pears to rage here practically unabat-
ed, for a large number of new cases
were reported unonicially yesterday
and today. and physicians continue to
say that they have much more to do
than they really care to have. On the
other hand, the pneumonia situation
appears to be somewhat improving,
and the number Of cases reported is
considerably smaller than last week.
There were three deaths caused by
influenza and pneumonia Sunday and
today. Alma Marum of Osnabrock.
died in a hospital in this city yester-
day morning at 4 o'clock; last night a
S-year-old son Of Albert Girkeide
succumbed. to an attack of the dis
ease, and shortly after midnight this
morning Private Busch of the Stu
dents Army Training Corps at the
university died.
On Saturday evening Arden Pirk-
dale Of Mekinock died in a hospital
here and Mrs. Mike Driscoll who had
been i'll for about ten days, fell VIC
tim to the epidemic.
Ban Remainss
At the meeting Of the board Of
health this morning no indication was
evident to the effect that the closing
order of October 8 would be revoked
within any specified time. The ban has
been lifted in Fargo, and today a
similar step was taken in Dickinson,
but the epidemic apparently fingers
on in Grand Forks.
Physicians say hat there should be
no relaxation Of precautionary meas
ures here, and that the only effective
name in which to combat HI dis
ease is to adhere strictly and literally
to common n health rules. One
ray Of hope from rural parts
Of the county where several of the
schools which have been closed for
several weeks. resumed their work
this morning.
Among the schools which opened
this morning were the Marvel village
school, and schools in Grace, Grand
Forks and Lorraine townships. The re-
mafnder of schools, however, have not
yet taken up their work, and accord
ing to M. Beatrice tombstone, county
superintendent of schools, it is prob
able that they will not reopen until
next Monday.
