ready to explode, and her two COM
panions were in a similar frame Of
mind.
Major Ramos was naturally a silent
man; he had all the IoQuacity of the
Latin. and all the Latin's apprecia-
ton of a pretty woman; he made no
secret Of the fact that his orders
Irked him. Despite his Official reserve
he proved himself a pleasant travel
ing companion. and he talked freely
on all but one subject. He played
good game of cards. too. and he
devoted himself with admira BILE cour-
tesy to Norine's comfort. Ii was not
until the train was approaching
Charleston that he finally announced :

The hotel to which Major Ramos
led his guests appeared to be well
filled; there were many Cubans in
the lobby. and the air was heavy
with the aroma of their strong. black
cigarettes. AS the major entered they
turned interested and eNpectant faces
toward him and they eyed his COM
panions with frank curiosity. Miss
Evans became the target for more
than one warmly admirins glance
As for O'Reiiiy, the familiar odor
OF those Cuban cigarettes, the
snatches of Spanish conversation
which he overheard. awoke in him a
great excitement: he realized with
an odd thrill that these eager. dark
