Now my prayers have been answered.” Holton nodded with great sympathy, and thereafter his attitude é"“““hl this war underwent a change. Former- | 1y his evirit, like that of many of his' brother officers, had been one of aloof- ness, £0 far as Cuba was immediately concerned. It was the war itself, the chances of glory, the prospects for quick promotion, the opportunities for putting into practice that which they had learned, which had carried the great appeal, the cuuse of Cuba re- maining very much in the ubstiact, Now Heclton saw the situation in a djfferent light. He could feel intimate- | ly that he was engaged in & work for humanity; that he was to be one ot these who were to be concerned in ectively bringing into the world a new nation. | Then, filled with the heaviness of the climate, he spread his blanket uj- on a bed of boughks, and lulled by the sighing of the leaves, he closed his eyes and was soon asleep. He must have slumbered an hour, when he awoke suddenly. Ordinarily he was a sound sleeper, and he knew that his awakening was due to some outward cause. \ He lay for a moment wondering, and then the sound of low voices gave him the cauce of his rousing. A glance to- ward General Garcia's quarters re. vealed to him the figure of that sol- dier, gazing thoughtfully into a small fire. A second glance showed that the old soldier was conversing with an officer whom he had not noticed be- fore. ! Holton wound himself snugly in his blanket and was about to fall asleep when a sentence arrested his mind and brought him wide awake. “I do not ask you, general, what your convictions as to the United States are. 1 tell you merely what circumstances may arise and ask you what you would do in that event.” Garcia shook his head slowly. ! “I decline to discuss improbabilities, or rather impossibilities,” he answered. “The United States has acted nobly, and will so continue to act.” “Nevertheless,” persisted his in. quisitor, “I ask you what you would do. Come, come,”—Holton recognized by his manner a personage of some authority in the Cuban cause—"it would be so easy for you to say that until Cuba is absolutely free no drop of bloed in your body is your own.” “It would be easy to say that,” was the sad response, “but I have shed my blood. 1 am old. I have struggled and suffered for my country. In the intervention of the United States I ses the answer to all my struggles and to all my prayers. I am like a man who has come to the end of a long journey. 1 see the brightness ahead, the load is eased from the back. God's hand is now at work in this island. And as his hand moves, so will I abide. He 515 sent the Americans here and he will send them away in good season after their work is done. If not, then 80 be it.” For a moment there was silence, Then Garcla spoke again. *“You have nothing to fear. It {s my thought that unless our American friends make a speedy ending of this campaign they will be routed by dis- ease, and if they do not fly they will die, surely and certainly. And thus even if I agreed with you in your con- tentions, I should still advocate leave ing the matter to God.” “Time will tell. And now you must sleep, general, Who was that Ameri- can,” be added, “who remalns with you?" “An Englishman, writer,” wus the reply, “He is not iXnglish; he la American.” “Admiral Sampson vouched for him But at any rate, suppose he iz an American? Iie might be that and still be a writer for the Knglish press,” General Gar: “As you sup & newspaper i, “I must efore me.” “There {8 much yet before us all,” “Good nmight, As Garcia turned to his tent the man | walked to the fire; he leaned down, ) eeized an ember wnd lighted a cigar- ette.
