T ™ Moved impatiently toward him. “To night—I wish to ask you what I should do about the meeting. 1 alone of those not in the conspiracy know of it. What shall I do? Shall I send word to General Garcia? Is it better that you should inform Shafter—" Holton {nterrupted. *“No, no, not Shafter,” he cried. “The Americans must take no action that might precipitate any sort of a fight with the Cubans.” “Well, Garcia then?” “A fight with the Cuban ranks would be almost as bad.” “That i8 true. What then?” Holton thought a moment. Then he looked up. “l will go to the meeting,” he an- nounced. “You! It is impossible. An Ameri- can officer! No, it cannot be!” “Then, what?” Holton's voice was impatient. He took from his pocket the cable dispatch from Washington. “I have here,” he resumed, “a mes- sage from President McKinley to Gen- eral Shafter, sent him at my request. It read at the meeting it should not be without effect.” He quoted to her the contents. She seized the paper and kissed it. Then she stamped her foot as a sudden thought took possession of her mind. “I have it!” she cried. “I will go to the meeting myself. And 1 shall take this dispatch with me,” CHAPTER XIV, Shifting Triumphs, Replying to Holton's warning that she must do nothing that would place her in a dangerous position, Miss La Tossa laughed “It is nothing, 1 can assure you,” she averred. “This is reully a swall matter.” “Well,” grumbled Wolton, “I hope 80, but I shull go with yeu.” “You shall not,” she replied em- phatically, | I “\Ny d ar Mr, Holton, thera are no Ihx1'~~ You caunol, canuot, canaot come.” “This much I shall do,” returned Holton widh decision. *“I shall ac- company vou to Sevilla and will re- main hidden in a place where I can hear you call if you want wme.” She laughed. “My bold cavaller"—her voice was gentle—"20 you shall. and if I waat e et S ey CHAPTER ITT—Senor La Tossa chides | He warns Schley of | of the shadows.

What do w508 bofore strangers, Ramon pushed her gently away, scoffing. “The idca! 1t was nothing. Now, if you have done with me I must re- turn to my general,” “Yes, return,” she answered. “At st you will accompany us to Se- his reply. | “Then let us be going.” She sprang | lightly into her saddle, and in another minute the four men were on their way down the trail, At Sevilla, which consists of about three buildings, or rather did consist of three Luildings in those warlike days of 1808, Ramon took the road to his camp, while Miss La Tossa, Holton, and Pierre urged their horscs in the direction of the building whose roof the young Cuban had pointed out earlier in the evening, Perhaps fifty yards irom this struc- ture rose a thick growth of bushes, nd here Miss La Tossa halted. “You willsremain here, Mr. Holton,” he said, “and Pierre will accompany ne.” “You wiil call me if you need me?” asked Holtnn. “Yes, truly. And in any event, I shall come to you here after I have spoken to my countrymen.” “All right. Good luck.” She kissed her hand gayly to him, or at least Holton so interpreted her gesture, but dimly seen in the dark- ness, He was quite certain that he kissed his hand to her. Fastening his horse, he waited. listening, for perhaps ten minutes, | But hearing nothing, his natural im- patience asserted itself, and crawling {out of the bushes he disobeyed the girl's injunctions by working his way nearer the building. He finally made quite certain that there was nothing on that side of it, and crawling to the corner he peered in. And here he | saw things. First there was a fire, and around it were gathered, he juuged, about fifty Cuban officers and soldiers. Their faces were somber and their manner portentous. Near the fire stood Miss !La Tossa talking animatedly to sev. eral officers, who were listening to her with bared heads and other marks of deference, As she spoke, however, a man in the uniform of a captain rose and clapped his hands. The men to whom | the girl was speaking withdrew their ! attention from her, and as a matter of fact she, herself, appeared to make no effort to hold them, On the contrary, as soon as the of- ficer clapped his hands, evidently pre- paratory to speaking, she walked away from the group and gave her eutire attention to this man. Holton sized himi up ns a grouchy sort of chap, with a jaw built n.ore for ora- tory than fighting, and, in brief, a general disorganizer, He found his analysis of the fellow not to have been far out of the way before he had uttered half a dozen words, “Countrymen,” he said, “I think we all recognize that in the event of the success of the Americans, Cuba will receive no benefit whatever, It will be a case merely of changing “how proud of you I am! yther's aversion to sister- | ounded and you never i i { masters.
