Continued from last week.
Esteban poised upon his elbow, his
fRce was n study. "What have you ar
ranged?” he managed to Inquire.
“Sh-h!” Norlne laid a finger upon
his lips. "The guest of the republic Is
to be mnrried today."
“Norlne! Oh, my dear—” quavered
the sick man. “I can’t let you do this
mad thing. Think! I’in ready for the
grave—”
“This will make you well. We’re go
ing away when the very next expedi
tion arrives."
"I haven't the strength to refuse,”
Meban murmured. "And ygt, how
ean I leave Cuba? What right have I
*o accept happiness and leave Rosa—’’
This was a subject which Norlne
dreaded, a question to which she knew
np answer. 8he was not In a mood to
discuss It, and mode no attempt to do
so. Instead, she laid the Invalid upon
his pillow, saying:
“Leslie Is waiting to wish you Joy
and a quick recovery. May I ask him
tar
She stepped to the door, only to be
hold her late companion making off
down the village street In great haste 1
and evident excitement. Approaching !
between the drunken rows of grass
huts was a little knot of people. Even
as Norlne watched It grew Into a con-^
stderable crowd, for men and women
and children came hurrying from their
tasks. There were three figures In the
lead, a man and two boys, and they I
walked slowly, ploddingly, as If weary
from a Jong march.
"Esteban I” Norlne cried In a voice
she scarcely recognized. She retreated
Into the doorway with one hand upon
her leaping heart. “Esteban I Lookl
They’re coming—here! Yes I It’s—It’s
O’Reilly!”
Young Varona struggled from his
hammock. “Rosal” he called, loudly,
“Rosa I”
There came a shadow, then In the
doorway the figure of a man, a tattered
scarecrow of a man whose feet were
It Was O’Reilly!
bare and whose brown calves were ex
posed through flapping rags. His breast
wns naked where thorns had tried to
stay him; his beard, even his lmlr.
were matted and unkempt, and the
mud of many trails lay caked upon his
garments.
It wns O'Reilly 1
Dumb with amazement, blind with
tears, Norine found herself staring up
ward Into his face, and heard him say
ing:
“I told yqu I would bring her home.”
The next Instant she lay upon his
breast and sobs of Joy were tearing at
her.
The story of Rosa’s rescue came
slowly and In fragments, for the news
of O’Reilly’s return caused a sensa
tion. Ills recital wns interrupted many
times. "As a matter of fact, our get
away was ridiculously easy.” he said,
"for we had luck at every turn—regu
lar Irish luck. I made Morin Inde
pendent for life, but It wasn’t the
money, It was Jacket who Induced him
to bring us clear to Turiguano. He
landed us one night, this side of the
Moron troehn. Since then we’ve waded
swamps to our nrmpits, we’ve fought
the Jungle and chewed bark—hut we’re
here.” Johnnie heaved a deep sigh of
relief.
"Where did you get the money to
hire schooners and corrupt captains?”
Branch Inquired.
O'Reilly hesitated; he lowered his
voice to n whisper. "We found the
Varona treasure.”
Norine uttered a cry. "Not Don Es
teban’s treasure?"
"Exactly. It was In the well where
young Esteban told us It was.'
Johnnie produced from bis pocket a
handful of coins.
Branch's eyes bulged, he touched a
gold piece respectfully, weighed It care
fully, then pressed it to his lips. He
robbed It against his cheeks and in his
hair; he placed It between his teeth
and bit it.
“It’s real!” he cried. “Now let me
look at the jewels.”
“Rosa has them. The’s wearing
them on her back. Hunched backs are
lucky, you know; hers is wortha for
tune.”
“Why, this beats the ‘Arabian
Nights!’" Noririe gasped.
“It beats—” 3ranch paused, then
wagged his head warningly at the
girl. “I don’t believe a word of it and
you mustn’t.”
Then Johnnie told the story. When
ho had finished there was n long mo
ment of silence. Then Norlne qua
vered tremulously: “That boy! That
blessed boy!”
“Tl's all too weirdly Improbable,”
O’Reilly smiled, “but ask Rosa or
Jacket—the boy is bursting to tell
some one. He nearly died because he
couldn’t hrng about It to Cnptnln Mo
rin, and there won’t he any holding
him now. I’m afraid he’ll tip ofT the
news about that treasure In spite of all
my warnings. Those jewels are a
temptation; I won't rest easy until
they’re safely locked up In some good
vault. Now then, I’ve told you every
thing, but I’m dying for news. Tell me
about yourselves, about Kstebnn. I ex
pected to find him well. What alls
him?”
“Oh. Johnnie!” Norlne began. “He’s
very ill. He Isn’t getting well. Help
me, Johnnie! Help me to get him
home—”
“Of course I will. We’ll take him
and Rosa away where they can forget
Cuba and all the misery it has caused
them. We’ll make him well—don’t
worry."
O’Reilly saw little of his sweetheart
that day, for Norlne promptly bore the
girl off to her own quarters and there
attended to her needs, the most press
ing of which was clothing.
While O’Reilly was similarly en-»
gaged In nmking himself presentable,
he and Branch talked earnestly, with
the result that they repaired later to
General Gomez. O’Reilly concluded by
saying:
‘T’ve done what I came to do, sir, but
Miss Vnrona Is badly shaken by all she
has been through. She’s very nervous
and far from well. Esteban, too. Isn’t
recovering.”
General Gomez nodded. “Miss Evans
declares he must have a change, and
we have arranged to send him out ol
the country. His sister, poor child
fluu UiU gM,
“They should go at once,” O’Relllj
said, positively. “That’s why we camf
to see you. Let us—Branch and me—
tqke all three of them to the United
States.”
“But how? How can you take two
women and a sick man—”
“We’ll manage somehow,” O'Reills
declared. “It Isn’t far across to thf
Bahama Banks. I’ll agree to come
back if you so desire.”
Gomez shook his white head. “No!
You came to find and save your fiancee
and you volunteered to serve with uf
while you were doing so. We have nc
desire to keep any man against his will
Some one must escort Miss Evans, whe
In our guest. Why not you two?
“I was looking forward to an Inter
esting ceremony this afternoon,” Go
mez went on. “Has your arrival
changed the plans?”
“Oh no, sir!” O’Reilly said, quickly
“I’d like to make it doubly interesting
If Miss Varona will consent to such
short notice.”
“Bravo! You have a way of dolnis
the unexpected. Why not? I don’t
think Miss Varona will have It In het
heart to refuse you anything.”
The old soldier was right. Rosa did
not gninsay her lover, and toward sun
down the city among the leaves wit
nessed an unaccustomed scene.
Rosa, very dainty in her borrowed
nurse's uniform, was round-eyed,
timid; she evoked much admiration
but when she was addressed as Senora
O’Reilly she blushed to the roots of
her hair and shrank close to her hus
band's side. Branch proved to be a
happy choice as Esteban’s proxy, foi
he relieved Nortne’s anxiety and smoth
ered her apprehensions.
When Rosa and O’Reilly returned tc
Esteban’s cabin they found Norlnf
ahead of them. She was kneeling be
side the sick man's hammock, and
through the doorway came the low, in
timate murmur of their voices. Rosa
drew her husband away, whispering
hnnnflv •
“He will get well. God and that won
derful girl won’t'let him die.” ,
CHAPTER XXII.
The Rainbow's End.
The Journey to the coast was made
by easy stages and Esteban’ stood 11
fairly well. Jacket, of course, went
along. Upon the announcement o 1
O’lteilly’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 ut Cubltas, O’Reilly had
counted upon securing a sailboat from
a certain fisherman whose sympathies
were known to be loyal, but In this he
was disappointed. The party arrived
at Its destination, a tiny clearing on
an unfrequented pnrt of the north
shore, only to find It 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 worm-eaten, Its seams wide
spread by the sun. _
O’Reilly was In a quandary, ne
gravely doubted Esteban’s ability to
stand the rough return Journey, and
when he spoke to Norlne of turning
back she was panic-stricken at the sug
gestion.
“No, no 1" she cried, anxiously. “We
must get him away. His heart Is set on
going through and It would—kill him
to go back.”
“Then I guess we’ll have to go
through,” he smiled.
For the first time In their acquaint
ance Norlne lost control of herself.
“Promise that you won’t go back,”
she Implored him.
“Very well, if you’ll consent to risk
this miserable tub we found on the
beach—”
“I’ll risk anything—a raft, even. Is
there an even chance of our getting
across?”
“Perhaps. It all depends upon the
weather.”
When morning came O’Reilly nude a
rloser examination of the abandoned
boat. The result wbr not Encouraging,
hut he determined to make use of It,
and the crazy craft was launched. It
was necessary to handle her gingerly,
and when she took the water she leak
ed abominably. But during the night
she swelled and In the morning It was
possible to ball her out.
From the point of leafing It was per
haps five miles across the sound to the
fringe of keys which In this neighbor
hood bordered the old Bahama chan
nel with Its unplumbed depths of blue
water. Here It was culm, so the run
was soon made.
When the coastline of Cuba had be
come a blur astern Rosa crept back
and seated herself beside her husband.
“How much I love you," she whispered.
“But I never can tell you, for we are
never alone. Was there ever such a
courtship, su(9i a marriage, and such a
wedding Journey as ours?”
It proved to be a long, long night, for
the boat, though roomy, was uncom
fortable. 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 O'Bellly 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 ths
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 hit
sodden bed. Rosa Anally straightened
her aching back and smiled at her hu*
band.
“Are we going down?” sbe asked.
“Oh no 1 This Is merely a squall,” he
told her, with an assumption of confi
dence he was far from feeling.
Deliverance came suddenly, and from
the least-expected quarter. Out of the
mlBt to starboard there materialized a
shape, a schooner driving ahead of the
wind. The refugees descried her simul
taneously and stood aqkle deep in the
wash, waving their hats and their cala
bashes, and shouting crazily until she
saw them and fetched up.
There was a babble of voices, shout
ed questions, hysterical answers. Ross
was weeping softly; Norlne hnd 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 overside, laughing and shout
Inn In a /iRII/llllrn __A.
-O-—-- V* V*V«VVUJVU«.
Soon there was hot food and coffee,
dry beds and blankets for those who
needed them.
Johnnie tucked his bride snugly Into
one of the hard berths, then stooped
and kissed her. Rosa’s teeth were
chattering, but sbe smiled happily.
“God’s hand directed us,” she said,
"One only needs to pray long enough
and strong enough and he will hear.”
• ••••••
It was a month later. Quaint old Nas
sau lay dozing under an afternoon sun,'
Up from the beach came O’Reilly and
his youthful alter ego. Jacket. They,
were clad In clean white clothes; •
month of rest had done them good.
Jacket was no longer wizened; he was
plump and sleek and as full of mlschlel
as a colt, while O’Reilly's leanness
had disappeared and he filled his gar
ments as a man should.
They turned In through a picket gate
, and up a walk. At the end stood a cot
! tage with wide porches hidden beneath
' Jasmine and honeysuckle and” morning
glory vines.
“Look, Rosa 1” Jacket lifted the
heavy string of fish. “We had stu
pendous luck.” But Rosa was In her
hgsband’s arms and neither she nor
O’Reilly had eyes for anything but
each other.
Rosa had vastly changed. She was
clad in a charming little muslin dress,
there were dimples In her cheeks, she
wore n heavy Marechal Nell bud at her
breast. O’Reilly held her off and de
voured her with his eyes.
“Sweetheart, you grow fresher and
more beautiful every hour,” said he.
Rosa danced upon her toes, and
tugged at him. “But come quickly and
see the surprise we have. I’ve been
wild for your retuQi. so hurry.” She
led him swiftly up the steps, and there,
stnndlng beside a chnlr, was Esteban
Varona, “He dressed himself and
walked out here alone. He’s well 1”
"Esteban 1 Really—”
The brother nodded decisively. “It’s
true. I rebelled at last. Tomorrow I'll
walk to the gate and the next day we’ll
go fishing. Here’s a letter from Leslie,
by the way. There’s one bit of news;
be snys the talk of Intervention in
creases and he may have to return to
Cuba as a war correspondent.
“Intervention 1 That would be fine,”
O’Reilly nodded. “Oh, it’s hound to
come, and when Uncle Sam takes hold
Cuba will be free.”
Norine agreed: “I’m sure of it. And
then—we’ll all go back to our rain
bow's end and dig for that pot of gold.”
Esteban turned adoring eyes upon
the speaker; he took her hand in his.
“I’ve found my rainbow’s end,” said
he.
“And I've found mine," O’Reilly as
serted. ‘Tve gained your father’s treas
ure, and more—I’ve found the prise of
all the Indies." With his arm about
Rosa he drew her Into the house.
Esteban lowered himself Into his
chair nnd Norine rested herself upon
Its arm. He lay back with eyes closed.
From the regions at the rear came the
voice of Jacket. The boy was In a
declamatory mood. He had gathered
an audience, as was his daily custom,
and wns addressing them In English:
“I skilled more’n a dozen Spaniards
at Pino Bravo. It was my day. By
rights I should have been made a gen
eral. bat—”

Washington, April 7.—Representa
