He realized his weakuess but could not understand it, being usually a man of undeviatjng health, until it occurred te him that he had not caten anything for nearly twenty-four hours, But he had nothing with him to eat, and he did not dare discharge his pis- tol at the birds flying all about for fear of calling attention to Lis position in the jungle. So he arose, tightened his belt as he had read Indians used to do when pressed by hunger, and worked his way on, still holding to the left. Continuing thus he stumbled sudden- ly upon a clearing, which apparently a large number of soldiers had left not “many hours before. There were re- | mains of a fire and, better still, scat- |'tered upon the grcund were bits of hardtack, a whole pineapple and an remaining in it. Despite the suggestions of the prox- imity of the Spuniards, Holton sat |down and ate the most satisfactory meal of his life. Having eaten, he retired a little dis- tance and lay back in the shadows. The sun warmed him, and the stiffness caused by the damp of the night left him. If, as he had feared, fever had been in his blood, it had gone now and this inspired him wonderfully. He was about to descend when the flash of something below caught his eye almost beneath his feet. He looked closely and caught the flash again, fol- lowed by another flash, then by sev- eral. A flash in this jungle meant pol- ished metal of some sort, and metal of ! any sort here meant only one thing— soldiers, He strained his eyes downward and then caught glimpses of a trall, partial- ly hidden from his view by bushes. On the side of the trail nearest to the eastward the land fell sharply away into a wide valley, the opposite sides of which were bush and tree-covered hills just as on his side. And now as he looked, the situation dawned clear upon him. For he could see men moving, falling back along the trail, and eventually debouching into bushes on either side. Holton's heart beat quickly. He re- ’ membered what the Spaniards had said of Americans marching from the direc- tion of Siboney, and he knew that right before his eyes the Spaniards were arranging an ambush for them. But what could he do? Almost any moment a detachment of Spanish sol- dier might come upon him. His slight- est movement would tend to attract the attention of some of them. What was happening? Suddenly from the distance there came what sounded to Holton like the clatter of steel on steel. He at once recognized it as the sound a scabbard makes when it strikes against a spur, Hastily he looked down at the Span- ish position, but not a sign of a soldier could he see, The trail was deserted, the surroundings were as quiet, as | peaceful as the heart of a jungle. It was too quiet, Holton thought, Suddenly the situation dawned clear —his countrymen were walking into a deadly trap! And he was powerless to help them, , Then, as though a voice had whis- pered in his ear, he started up. Was he helpless? Yes, if he was consider- ing himself. 1If fear of consequences | o him personally were to be weighed, ~he was perfectly helpless. But not {otherwise, Providence could not have { smiled more benignly upon the Ameri- !czms than in placing him just where i{he was—provided be justified the providential processes with the nerve of a hero. He rolled half on his side, loosened his revolver in its holster, and then | drew it out. No more gounds come | from the trail, and yet, somehow, there was the impression of movement down there, a subconscious feeling of the ap proach of men, ears alert for the slightest sound, ‘ sturted convulsively as a campaign hat appeared for an instant through a rift in the high grasses on the valley side ! of the trail. Then, flattening himself rigidly upon 1 1 i | abandoned kettle with some boiled rice | Holton, his eyes strained ahead, his [ THE EVENING TELEGRAM, LAKELAND, FLA., ' fly. the direction of the Spaniards beneath ' him, and pulled the trigger.
