CHAPTER v.
A Cry From the Wilderness.

New York seemed almost like for
eign city to Johnnie O'Reilly when he
stepped out into it on the morning
after his arrival. For one thing 1t was
bleak and cold: the north wind, hail
ing direct from Bafiin's bay, had teeth.
and 1t bit so cruelty that he was glad
when he found shelter in the building
which housed the offices of the Carter
Importing company. The truth is
O'Reilly was not only cold but fright
ened.
1t was not the effect of his report
concerning the firms improbable Gu
ban connections which he feared
Samuel Carter could take calmly the
most disturbing financial reverse-it
was the blow to his pride at learning
that anybody could prefer another girl
to his daughter. Johnnie shook his
shoulders and stamped his feet, but
the chill in his bones refused to go.
He went to meet his employer as a
man marches to execution.
His heart sank further at the well
come he received, for the importer
gave him veritable embrace; he pat
ted him on the back and inquired three
times as to his health. O'Reilly was
anything but cold now; he was perspir-
ing profusely, and he felt his collar
growing limp. To shatter this old mans
eager hopes would be like kicking a
child in the face. Carter had never
been so enthusiastic, SO demonstra-

CHAPTER IV-continued.

Seating himself on one Of the old
stone benches, the young man lit a
cigarette and composed himself to
wait. He sat there for long time,
grumbling inwardly. for the night was
damp and he was sleepy; but at lant
a figure stole out of the gloom and

tell you we have to be careful these
days"
"What is the news? What did you
hear?"
Asensio sighed gratefully as he seat
ed himself. "One hears q great deal,
but one never knows what to believe.
There is fighting in Santa Clara, and
Maceo sweeps westward"
Taking the unaddressed letter from
his pocket, Esteban said, II have an
other message for Colonel Lopez"
"That Lopez! He's here today and
there tomorrow; one can never find
him."
swell, you must find him, and I'M

fact"-Esteban laughed lightly-"that

Spaniards I'd advise you to chew 1t up

intend to have careful reckoning
with you. l think you know have
good head for figures" Turning his
back upon the elder man, he walked
away.
Now It did not occur to Cueto really
to doubt the boys innocence, though
the circumstances Of Donna Isabe's
death were suspicious enough to raise
question In any mind; but in view
of Esteban's threat he thought it wise
to protect himself by setting q back
fire.
AS he sat on an old stone bench,
moOdily repicturing the catastrophe as
Esteban had described 1t, his attention
fell upon an envelope at his feet. 1t
was sealed; 1t was unaddressed. Cue
to idly broke 1t open and began to
read. Before he had gone far he start
ed; then he cast furtive glance
about. But the place was secluded; he
was unobserved. When he finished
reading he rose, smiling. He no longer
feared Esteban. On the contrary, he
rather pltied the young fool; for here
between his fingers was that which
not only promised to remove the boy
from his path forever, but to place in
his hands the entire VarOna estates.
One afternoon, perhaps week later,
Don Mario de Castano came putting
and blowing up to the quinta, demand
ing to see Rosa without q moments
delay. With directness unusual even
in him, Don Mario began:
Rosa, my dear, you and Esteban
have been discovered! l was at lunch
with the conmandante when l learned
the truth. Through friendship 1 pre-
vailed upon him to give you an hours
grace"
"What do you mean, Don Mario?"
inquired the girl.
"Come, comet" the planter cried, i'm
patiently. "DOn't you see you can
trust me? Heaven! The recklessness,
the folly of young people! Could you
not leave this insurrection to your
elders? Or perhaps you thought 1t
matter Of no great Importance, an
amusing thing"
"DOn Marlo!" Rose interrupted. 81
don't know what you are talking
about"
"YOu don't, chi" The callers wet
checks grew redder; he blew like
porpolse. "Then call Esteban quickly |!
There Is not moment to lose" When
the brother appeared De Castano
blurted out at him accusingly: "Well,
sir! A fine fix you've put yourself in.
Perhaps you will be interested to learn
that Colonel Fernandez has issued or
ders to arrest you and your sister as
agents of the insurrectos."
"What?" Esteban drew back. Rosa
turned white as lily and laid flut-
Tering hand upon her throat.
"You two will sleep tonight in San
Severino," grimly announced the ro-
tund visitor. "You know what that
means"
Rosa uttered a smOthered cry.

proceeded, impressively, did me this
favor, knowing me to be suitor for
Rosa's hand. In spite of his duty and
