CHAPTER XII—He arrives in sight of | the American fleet in time to see the ad- miral's flagship sail away. After signal- ing for some time he finally is answered by the Brooklyn. He warns Schley of the intentions of the Spanish fleet, an witnesses the destruction and capture of | the enemy's vessels. "Well, ft'Was over. What would! happen now? The harbor forts were 8till to be subdued, and it was out of the question that Sampson would at- tempt to rush them this day. No, Hol- ton could see that the army still had its part to play, and that, as a conse- quence, his work was far from com- pleted. His duty was perfectly clear; and while he was able to drag one foot after another, its stern behests were to be obeyed. His place was at Gar cla’s hcadquarters—the sooner he took it the better. | _After a last, lingering look at the scene below he turned inland, but had not gone more than two hundred yards when he realized that hi§ sore | feet were not adapted to rapid prog- ress. ! In short, he felt that, as compared | to his normal condition, he was but . The Earth Shook With Fearful Nolse half a man, and a very miserable and pitiful half at that. Still, with fre- quent halts he made his way toward the American lines, and by dusk he was again among the ritle-pits of the army. L fiag of truce was wandering over the hillside, and in aus to Holton s query an officer told him that General Shafter was sending in word to Toral that, now the fleet was d-stroved, ho had better surrender and have done with turther bloodshed. So everyoue waited until the truce party returned from its wisslon. They had not made, 't wus learned, | erc:l progress with the Spanish coms ' wmader, He was quilv conicpt with | er SN hey hew;, “Reance of v eur) ete, The Cost of Living is fireal\i PCITON Ci-THk NAVY A OF TUTY OF CUBA \f“f’\—\h\v\\ fMustrations by, Ellsworth “’“,"5 A ) - \ tiie Sovation, he Se.d. ##M, nidreover. ' he had good information that the men from the United States were not doing very well in this cilmate, In o word, he thought it advisable to oppose to the utnost extremity th advance of the Amcricans.

The gener: | e was thut Toral would event ally surrender, and if that was th case there was disinclination on th part of the brizade commanders t ghed unnecessary blood. In the morning Holton was awak ened by a bombardment which cou tinued for half an hour. The men in the trenches got into action with thei» Krags and the Spaniards responded The result was a spirited scssion, which ended as abruptly as it begun The next development was the in evitable flag of truce traiiing toward the Spanish lines, borne by messci- gers from Shafter sent to inquire o’ Toral if he had not yet changed hi: 'mind about holding out. As Holton could see no special rew son why the Spaniard should hav changed his mind, he was inclined to regard the truce business as a joke, a sentiment which most of the officor hared with him. Toward noon h made his way along the lines, an eventually, he located the Cuban cor tingent, Garcia was seated in front of hi tent with General Castillo. He remen: bered Holton and greeted him pless antly. Yet he appeared to have some- thing on his mind, a.d after welcom- ing the navy man he turned to his brother general and continued a con- versation which the officer's arrival had evidently interrupted. Holton, not wishing to appear as an intruder, moved to one side. The soldiers were sullen and regard- ed the new-comer with evident dislike. He tried to engage several of them in conversation, but with no success. To a sergeant, who had turned his shoulder upon him, he said with some fmpatience: “What's the matter with you, any- way?” “You will find out soon,” was the reply. — CHAPTER XIII, A Night Rendezvous, Before Holton could make answer, % young Cuban galloped by on horse- back. So lithe was he, so clean- | limbed, his uniform so spick and span, his face so handsome, that Holton turned to glance after him. He, too, was turning to gaze at Holton, and uow brought his horse to a sharp hait, Noting this, the navy man wa'%ed toward the fellow, feeling that he had seen him somewhere before but puz zled to know where, The young soldier, with head turned over shoulder, nodded to Holton, and then, with a seep of the hand, beck oned him toward a group of small palms, whither he urged his horse at a slow walk. The naval officer fol- lowed and came to a standstill beside the beautiful animal, The boy—he was little more—bent down and looked at Holton a moment. | Then he smiled and held out his hand “You have been pointed out to me as Lieutenant Holton,” he said. “Are you he?” Holton looked at the other steadily without answering. A thrill passed over him. “l could almost say,” he replied finally, “that you are Miss La Tossa | in disguise.” “You would be pretty nearly right,” was the laughing response; “I am her brother.” “Oh!” Holton reached up and seized the lad's hand. “l1 am very happy to see you. Where is vour sister?” “At home. 1 stole in to visit her! last night. She wished me to find you and to ask you to accompany me to a place beyond Sevilla at once. She will await us on the road and will hive something of importance 10 you. 1 do not krow “But—"Holton hesi just come in from Santingo at some peril. 1 have work to do here” | The boy smiled at him. | “There will be no peril in return. | ing with me. e Cubans,” he gri- maced, “have a secrot route into the city which has always been kept open. It is open now. You must come with me; my sister has news of great im- i portance you must hear.” | Holton needed no great incentive | ro accompany the other, He still wore his Spamara’s uniform, with the ad- dition of an arwy hat bearing the insignia of the Fifth Corps, and he felt himself sartorially well qualified (uce more to pr_ctrate the ranks of outlaued ou Page ‘.‘l- Z to say | tit " “1 have | ted | 8ition to save money fo Fins Broacheg Charms $:: LaVal ers bov htiightand - o'd vight LAGRILAAL AR LB BT CUT GLASS This week we will open up and display the largest i we have ever bought.
