Garcia lowered his head. Holton looked vacantly into space. And so, he thought, has passed the waiter of the New Willard., Holton’s return to the American trenches was signalized by an honor that brought adequate reward, with interest, for all that he had gone through. This was a dispatch for him from the secretary of the navy an- nouncing his advancement ten num- bers for meritorious service at Tampa, and containing also information that congress had voted him the congres- sional medal of honor for gallantry in notifying the North Atlantic squadron of the intentions of Cervera's squad- ron. An event of the next day was the return of Hobson from Santiago, in company with six sailors who had been captured with him. Holton pressed forward and joined in the cheers of the regulars as this quiet faced young man rode through their ranks on the way to Siboney after an imprisonment of more than five weeks. He had performed a deed of sig. nal gallantry, a deed which will live as long as the annals of the American navy live, and as the years go will grow only the brighter. The days went on. It now seemed assured that the surrender was but a matter of short time, and Holton spent the period in enjoylng a well- earned rest. At length, on July 16, General Toral and his staff rode out to San Juan to where General Shafter and General Miles and their staffs awaited him un- der the famous tree. The meeting was very picturesque, and dignity marked the demeanor of all concerned, After a long discussion General To- ral aud his officers turned and rode to- | ward the city, and the Amecrican gen | erals returned to thefr tines. The sur- | render of Santiago was assured. I At headquarters Holton found that | | | —h—_~_—___— the conference of the generals had i ended. General Miles was preparing to go with his mcn to Porto Rico, leaving Shafter, with h's Fifth Army coryps, to gather alone the fruits of his vicmry The men were jubilant, but many were beginning to succumb to the phy- €ical effects of their life in the wet treuches. Cuban fover was raging in cvery command, and men who, when Folton last saw them, wore the em- budiment of vigorous health and man- ly strength, viere now lying helpless in the crowded hospital camps, thbeir faces emaciated and yellow. I As for Molton, his health remalned excellent, Nzatural resoarces hod kept the fever in his blood at low ebb, and oW he was confident that the last traces had been kicked out of his ByS- t:. 1lle looked rather expectantly for orders from the admiral recalling him to the squadron, but none came, end 80 he settled himself down to await developments, hopeful that his recent strenuous career had ended, and that for a time al least he might anticipate days of comparative ease. On the 17th of July, General Shat- ter, his staff, brigade commander, and a goodly body of troops left the trenches and, with bands playing and flags flying, marched up the trail lead- icg wto Suntiago, where the surren- der took place before the two armies. Then the march continued into the city. ‘The Spanish soldiers, some twenty- two thousand men (Holton had under- e:timated their num..r), were to be ehipped to Spain, and nothing re- ' Liained to be dore but to assume the ir"’ns of miiitary government and set {288 in ordar.

Now by offi- cial mandate of the Americans they were barred from the gates. Holton knew enough of the flery temper of these men (0 realize that|so S Garcia and the other commanding of- ficers must sway great authority over their soldiers if they were to hold them in leash under such a situation as this. He, of course, Shafter would be unable to quell an outbreak, but at the same time if one occurred it would involve a complica- | American o tion not to be desired. That the Cubans in the camps of Garcia and Castillo were openly talk- ing of an uprising was known to every- one, and not even Garcia's assurances that he could keep them in hand quieted the fears of the more thought- ful among the officers. Yet there was no inclination to allow them to enter l the city, the fear that they would turn the tent, but he soon returned, and; P hel with a smlleHg;:; id tl;i:nfi:;s;il:wmd ton hardly knew what to do.

Throwing the reins about the branch of a tree, he made his way through the underbrush, until looking through the foliage he could see the front of the house. Here he waited. Why he knew not. What had come over him? Something inside was dampening the ardor with which he had set out on this important | journey, and placing his spirits under a pall of utterly unreasonable fore- boding. An incubus of doubt, almost of dread, settled upon him, and try as he would he could not shake it off, And yet what nonsense! Here In the broad light of this beautiful, scin- tillating day to feel emotions which might be natural to a schoolgirl when alone in the dark! He could not un. derstand it at all. he dissipate the spell, At length, with sudden resolution, he came out of his hiding-place, mount- ed his horse and rode boldly up the driveway. He alighted at the door- step, tethered his stced a'ongside the two other ponies, and mounting the 8teps, rang the bell, the echoes of which he couid bear jangling and clat- tering throughout the house. Awaiting areply to his sumn'ons for gome thme, and receiving none, he pulled the boll again, now with ir- ritable encrgy. Almost on the instant the door was flung open and Miss La Tossa, still in her hunting suit, and accompanied by Pierre, swod before him, She looked at him with coid, lnqulr- 'ng eyes, and Holton with a gasp stopped short, “Why--why-—" him. As the girl still regarded him with cold, vacuous eyes, Holton flushed angrily.
