that a meeting of dissatisfied Cubans i**
Jo be held that night to plot against the
'meriean army. He gives Miss La Tossa

“Tliat is true,** she agreed. “I have
ome to realize it. I had been led
astray in my view's. Hut now, thanks
o you—and to others—I see more
dearly.” ,
"To others?” cried Holton, with a
Mick flush of jealousy.
She laughed.
"Well. General Garcia and Colonel
Montez—and other elderly leaders of
our cause,” she explained.
“Oh!” Holton bit his lip.
He looked at her face, dim in the
larkness.
“And that is why you wished to
ee n»e?”
“Not altogether.” she replied.
“Well, you must hurry, because 1
Aish to say something to you, too,”
e .reminded her.
The girl moved impatiently toward
him. “To night—I wish to ask you
hat I should do about the meeting.
alone of those not in the conspiracy
.snow of it. What shall 1 do? Shall
i send word to General Garcia? Is
it better that you should inform
Shatter—"
Holton interrupted.
“No. no, not Shatter,” hp cried. "The
Americans must take no action that
might precipitate any sort of a light
with the Cubans.”
“WelV Garcia then?”
“A light with the Cuban ranks
would be almost as bad.”
“That* is true. What then?”
Holton thought a moment. Then he
looked up.
"I will go to the meeting," he an
nounced.
"You! It is impossible. An Amerl
can otlicer! No, it cannot be!”
"Then, what?” Holton's voice was
impatient.
He took from his pocket the cable
dispatch from Washington.
“1 have here," he resumed, “a mes
sage from President McKinley to Gen
eral Shatter, sent him at niy request,
if 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. ”1 will go
to the meeting myself. And I shall
take this dispatch with me.”
CHAPTER XIV.
Shifting Triumphs.
Replying to Holton’s warning that
I she must do nothing that would place
her in a dangerous position, Miss La
Tossa laughed.
"It is nothing, I can assure you,”
he averred. “This is really a small
matter.”
"Well,” grumbled Holton, "I hope
so, but I shall go with you.”
“You shall not,” ahe replied em
phatically.
"But—”
"My dear Mr. Holton, there are no
buts—you cannot, cannot, cannot
come.”
“This much I shall do,” returned
Holton with decision. "I shall ac
company you to Sevilla and will re
main hidden in a [dace where I can
hear you call if you want me.”
She laughed.
“My bold cavalier”—her voice was
gentle—"so you shall. And If I want
you I will call.”
“Good!” HoUon moved to his
horse. "Shall we be going?”
“Yes. Ramon—I’ierre,” she called.
The two men came to her from out
of the shadows. She placed her hands
upon her brother's cheeks.
"My own true soldier boy," she said
impulsively, "how proud of you 1 am!
And you were wounded and you never
told me anything about It. What do
you mean?”
With a brother’s aversion to sister
ly caresses before strangers, Ramon
pushed her gently away, scoffing.
“The idea! It was nothing. Now,
if you hRve done with me I must re
turn to my general.”
"Yes, return,” she answered. “A*
least you will accompany tts to Se
villa?”
"Oh, yes, that is on my way,” was
his reply.
“Then let us he 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 alrout
| three buildings, or rather did consist
1 of three buildings in those warlike
I days of 1898, Ramon took the road
to Ills camp, while Miss l,a Tossa,
iloltou. and I’ierre urged their horses
in the direction of the building whose
roof the young Cuban had pointed
out earffer in the evening.
Perhaps fifty yards from this struc
ture rose a thick growth of bushes,
nd here Mins l.a Tossa halted.
"You wilUremain here. Mr. Holton,”
she said, “and Pierre will accompany
me.”
"You will call nm if you need me?”
asked Holton.
"Yes. truly. And in any event, 1
shall come to yon here after 1 have
spoken to my countrymen.”
"All right. Good luck.”
She kissed her hand gayly to him,
>r at least Holton so interpreted her
;estttre, but dimly seen in the dark
less. He was quite certain that he
ussed his hand to her.
Fastening his horse, he waited,
isfening, for perhaps ten minutes,
tut. hearing nothing, his natural lin
>atience asserted itself, and crawling
nit of the hushes he disobeyed the
;lrl’s injunctions by working his way
nearer the building. He finally made
juite certain that there was nothing
;>u that side of it, and crawling to the
:orner he peered in. And here he
saw things.
First there was a fire, and around
it were gathered, he judged, about
ifty Cuban officers and soldiers. Their
aces were somber and their manner
portentous. Near the fire stood Miss
'^a Tossa talking animatedly to sev
-iral officers, who were listening to
ier with bared head3 and other tnar
jf deference.
As she spoke, however, a inan i
I the uniform of a captain rose aiu
clapped his hands, ’[ tie men to whon
the girl was speaking withdrew thei
attention from her, and as a tnattei
of fact she, herself, appeared to mak<
no effort to hold them.
On the contrary, as soon as the of
fleer clapped his hands, evidently pre
paratory to speaking, she walked
away from the gioup and gave her
entire attention to this man. Holton
sized him up as a grouchy sort of
chap, with a jaw built more for ora
tory than fighting, and. In brief, a
general disorganizes He found his
analysis of the fellow not to have
been far out of the way hefore 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
masters. And as for me, between the
Spaniards, from whose stock we
sprang, and.the Americans, the Yan
kees, who are utterly alien, give me
the Spaniards. We have already felt
their heel; we know what their scorn
Is, and their contempt”—the mau was
lashing himself to a fury—“1. myself,
was shouldered out of the trail by a
young pig of an officer not five days
ago, and when I drew my sword, a pig
of a Yankee private knocked me down
with his hand. Is this friendship? I
ask you, brothers - Is this what we
were led to expect from our friends
of the north, our saviors, our deliv
erers?”
“Hut, Juan," Jnierruijted an elderly
captain, “that Is ail personal. I my
self have felt the contempt which the
American" feel for us, hut I should be
willing to suffer more than contempt
for my country's freedom. I have al
ready suffered, as you know, at the
hands of our oppressors. Contempt is
very mild and easily to be borne when
our liberty ia (he reward for it. If
you have nothing more than narra
fives of personal affronts to give us,
I for one shall not be very much im
pressed.”
“Bah!” The voice of the first
speaker rose almost to a shriek. "I—
I put iny personal feelings above my
patriotism! Bo you say! That—-that
was merely my beginning. Wait un
til I have finished and then let me
hear your sneers, if Bneers you have
Ipft.”
“Well, well, go on, I am waiting,”
answered the older man.
“So,” resumed the speaker, “we all
know what this generous nation of
Yankees, this nation so given to es
tablishing freedom throughout the
world. Intends to do with the Phil
ippine Islands. Their newspapers
Jeave ns no doubt as to that. Impe
rialism! That is the cry in the Unit
ed States. They have received their
taste of aggrandizement—and the
taste is good. Have you been deaf to
• he talk about the American camp?
What Is the word you hear oftenest
among their officers? I’ll tell you:
‘World-power!’ That is what they
say: ’World-power!’”
A sort of low cry went the rounds
of his hearers, and Holton could see
that the speaker was bringing them
one and all beneath his spell.
He sat down, looking gloor'ily at
the ground, paying no attention to the
round of hand clapping that attended
his peroration.
For a moment no one stirred. It
appeared as though all were thinking
digesting the eloquence that had been
[toured into their ears. Then another
%ian arose. Holton leaned forward
| with a gasp.
It was the spy. the waiter of the
New Willard, come tonight to place
the capstone upon the spell he. had
I been weaving among the officers of
| ihe Cuban annv.
•'Brothers," he began, "I came here
| tonight to counsel prudence, and, in
fact, l do so counsel you now.”
Holton's face filled with amaae
j ment. What was he getting at? It
a few moments he found out.
I "1 do most earnestly counsel pru
dence,” he continued. "There art
things that must be borne. The sol
diers of the United States have corn
here. Well, good. We brought then
here. At least, so It would appear.
"Of course, we believe that tlies*
; men were sent here because of th
great yearning of the Fritted State
o see us a free, unshackled countr>
And so they have come down here ti
set us free, and then, having done sc
*o retire with a blessing, and to coi
Template with pride the growth r

"So much we know. The Spaniarc
vill he driven from the island, an
hen will these Americans turn to i
nd say. 'Behold. Imre Is your com
ry, take it and develop It, and inak*
t. great, ird may God be with you
'o I say prudence.
"But, on the other hand, there are
some of us who may possess well
formed doubts as to the truth of the
beautiful word picture I have painted
i for you. Yes, there are many who
| doubt damnably. Has the United
States ever been known to talk one
j way and act another? To those who
i know the political history of that
! great nation. I need say no more. To
j those who do not, I say that govern
mental policies in the United States
I are fickle jades, blown wdlly ullly by
1 the winds of public opinion—they are
valueless as things to depend upon;
| they are trivial even to consider. And
! yet”—he raised his hand to still a ris
1 ing growl of voices—"and yet, still I
I counsel prudence.”
"Why?" roared a hoarse voice from
1 the darkness.
“Why? 1 can answer you simply
Recaiise we are weak. We have been
I in the field fighting for several years
! Rut we are not soldiers. At least, the
Americans say so. You have heard
them— One moment,” aa the murmur
arose again. “Oh, no, we are not
soldiers. But the Americana are. We
kno*v that. They are soldiers who
have sold doth and beans and sugar,
and perchance may have sold guns!
And so they are soldiers—soldiers
that we do well to fear. So again I
advise prudence always prudence.
"If they leave us our country, good;
but If they elect to retain It as an
other of their possessions, why, good,
also. For what, can we do? They
will he kind to ns They will feed
i us so that we do not starve, and they
j will put trolley-cars—”
A tierce yell Interrupted hint, and,
although he raised his hand, he could
not again regain attention. Nor had
he peed to. He had done his work,
and done it well. Tlvs he knew as
he stood smiling at the writhing faces
of Ills frenzied audience.
One man arose, holding aloft a
sword.
"My countrymen," ho yelled, "If by
tomorrow nighk 1 have not plunged
this Into the breast of tiv<* Americans,
1 sgall plunge It into my own throat."
A wild chepr greeted his words.
•Then camo a lull suddenly, aa though
the men were seeking outlet for their
emotions. And f’esnola was there to
give it to them.
He held out his hand. All eyes
were fasten' A on him. The first word
had fallen from Ills mouth when the
voice of a woman, raised in thrilling
cadence, wiped additional utterance
from the spy's lips.
As Holton locked the girl sprang
to the speaker's side and h«ld on*
her hand. And as she stood thus, tlv
naval ofllccr never forgot tlye pictur
countrymen," she cried i
length, "I have llst'ened to all who
have spoken, and I hnve observed you.
I have wondered whether the fever
has got Into your brains, and whether
you are children led hither and thither
by the Idle words of plotters.”
Cesnola sprang In front of her and
pushed her roughly aside.
"I resent this intrusion!” he shout
ed. "I resent the presence of thia
woman—”
What more he would have said may
only be surmised, for the girl, her eves
blazing, turned to the audience, and,
with finger quivering at the spy, she
said:
"That man pushed me, my country
men. Is there no one to avenge me?”
Her voice was quiet, almost unemo
tional, and she looked calmly around
the circle. It was plain to see she was
beloved of these men; but It was
equally plain that the spell of the
spy's words lay about their minds In
serpent coils. She paused.
"1 see! Chivalry has departed from
among us. I must myself wipe out
this gross Insult."
So saying, and before anyone could
move, her riding-whip flashed In her
hand, and she struck Cesnola a blind
ing blow across the face. From the
sheer shock he Went down as though
hit by an ax. But he sprang to his
feet on the Instant, his face livid with
rage, his hand upon a long hunting
knife.
In another second Holton would
have been at the girl's side; but be
fore he could move, a half-dozen re
volvers flashed in the bands of Cu
ban officers, and the deep voice of
the elderly captain broke the still
ness.
"Stop, Senor Cesnola. Remember
who you are—and remember it well.
We have listened to you. and now we
will listen to the beautiful and spir
ited senorlta.”
Miss La Toes* smiled radiantly.
"Thank you,” she replied. ”1 have
*>o burst of eloquence to give you,
men of Cuba. I say merely that you
have been, badly advised, misled, by
hose whose interest it is to mislead
'ou. And, further, I do nothing more
han this.”
She flashed al^ft President MeKin
■ v’s dispatch, and then handed it to
tie Cuban captain, who lead it,ai'd
hen in silence passed It around the
ircle. A* length »« it was shout to
zo iuto Cesnola'H bands, Mies La
I ossa intercepted the on per and ex
'ended it to an officer whom she knew.
"I do not wish this to pass into that
man's hands," she said. "Will you
ead it to him. major?”
The officer complied, and then re
turned the dispatch to the girl with a
bow.
“Uentlemen,” cried ihe young wom
an, “can you ask more than that?”
A cheer—not a general cheer—but
still fairly satisfactory in its strength,
greyed her wordB. A» It 4J«4 owe
Cotnolm stood forth, raising bis band.
He regarded the girl malignantly
“Let us know one thing," he snarled.
"Where did you get that message?
Are you—”
Miss La Tossn stamped her foot.
“Silence!” she cried. “To you 1
shall not speak another word. If any
gentleman" -she emphasised the m.,ji
—"if any true Cuban" this word she
also emphasized—"wishes to question
me, I will gladly respond.”
“Well,” replied su officer, "we ask
you, then, to answer the statement
just made by Senor Cesnola.”
"It is easily answered," she returned
quickly. "1 am not in (leneral ^raft
er’s confidence. He does not give to
me his private messages—"
"And you received this, theu—”
queried the officer.
"From an officer who possesses the
confidence of (leneral Shatter not
only, but of President McKinley,"
"Me Is a Cuban officer?” suggested
Ihe questioner.
"He—”
"Ah!” Cesnola sprang forward,
"Allow me to tell you who he it.”
Then, without heeding the girl's re.
monstratlng voice, he ran on like a
wild man:
"lie tg an 'American naval officer

"You lie!” The voice faiHy
drowned out Cesnola's wild (bade;

in the firelight, pointing his ft tiger at
