SYNOPSIS.
CHAPTER I—IJeiltenant Holton Ip d*
i iftehed from his command in the navy a
tile outset of the Spanish-America a w.i.
and assigned to important secret service
duty.
j CHAPTRR II—While dining at a Wasti
ng ton hotel he detects a waiter in the nc
of robbing a beautiful young lady, win
| thanks him for Ids service ami gives he.
'arm- as Miss i.a 'I'ossa, a Cuban patriot
toiler he meets hbr at a ball. A score
■ 'ice man warns Holton that the gin
is a spy. •
CHAPTER ITT—Scnor T a Tessa ('hide
ids daughter for h*r lailure to secure im
1 'tarit information from Holton. Sir
■ fives for her home in Cuba. Holton is
ordered to follow iter.
CHAPTER TV—They meet on the Tam
;>n train. Miss T.a Tessa tells llolton ah■
is a Cuban spy, and expresses doubt re
garding the sincerity of the T’aited States
/■ dton is ordered to remain in Tampa to
guard tlie troop transports.
CHAI i. V—He receives orders to
land Miss l.a Tossa. who is < msiderod
a dangerous spy. on Cuban soil. w «<-a
ne Is ov ertai.-en by another warship,
which takes Miss T.a Tossa aboard and
Holton is ordered to return to Tampa.
CHAPTER VI—He saves the transports
from destruction at the hands of dyna
"iiers and reports to Admiral Sampson
for further duty.
For a moment there was silence.
Then Garcia spoke again.
‘‘You have nothing to fear. It is my
thought that unless our American
friends make a rpeedy ending of »bi
campaign they will be routed by dis
• ase, and if they do not fiy they wil
die, surely and certainly. And thu
even if 1 agreed with you in your coi
tendons, l should still advocate leai
iug the matto.r to God.1’
“Time will tell. And now you mut
deep, general. Who was that Amen
can,'’ ne added, “who remains with
you ?”
"An Englishman, a newspaper
writer,” was the reply.
“He is not English; be iB American.”
“Admiral Sampson vouehed for him.
Hut at any rote, suppose he it an
American? He might be that and still
be a writer for the English press."
General Garcia arose decisively.
“As you suggest." lie said, "1 must
sleep. There is yet much before me."
“There is much yet before us alh"
grurrrb+Fd- the <vfft ceFT ""OdoTT nighi.
general.”
As Garcia turned to liis tent (lie man
'.•“-iked to the fire; he leaned down,
seized an ember and lighted a cigar
ette. Tiie flames shone full upon h's
face.
With a half gasp Ilolton arose in
his blanket, and then, as the fellow
straightened up. he sank back upon
'.he boughs. Hut his eyes never le t
the man's faeo.
At length, with quick motion, the
Cuban turned toward Holton, who had
just time to close Ills eyes. Thus lie
lay tense, listening for the sounds th: I
would have caused him lo spring to ins
feet—tlie sounds of the man’s foot
steps approaching him.
But the sounds did not come. As
Holton at length opened his e\»s he
taw the man writing by the light of
the fire upon a small pad lying op his
knee.
"You are Indeed a good waiter, my
friend,” muttered Holton to himself,
and rising from his blanket he walked
noiselessly toward the fellow he had
llrst seen in the dining-room at the
New Willard.
So deeply was the man engrossed in
his writing that Holton's movement
was unnoticed by him. And for this
Holton thanked him sincert ly before
he had gone two steps.
He acted upon impulse in rising
from his blanket, and without any dtli
uite intention save that of accosting
Hie man. Hut now the futility of doing
this in the camp, with G; reia not. yet
asleep, and without any weil-informen
plans for dealing with him appealed
to him forcibly. He stopped suddenly
in his tracks and then siole back to
his bed of houghs.
Holton's nitnd was in sore quandary
as to what to do. Unquestionably this
man held a high place in the esteem
of Garcia, w ho just as c< rtainl.v had no
idea that he was a Spanish spy.
As to the conversation, Holton be
lieved he had the key to that; the spy
was engaged in the process of poison
ing the minds of Cuban lenders against
the Americans, a plot which, if car
ried forward successfully and rapidly,
might seriously affect the present cam
paign, and at tlie same time have a
decide^ tendency to give point to cor
tain relations already strained with
several powerful foreign nations.
One tiling was sure, the moves of
this man must he checkmated, and
sharply. Just how was the question,
Holton lay t In re deliberating what
he ought to do for more than an hour,
and still undecided when the spy set
tled things for him by slipping his
pad in his pocket and walking toward
his horse. He stood for a moment
He ro, hie head turned toward Garcia’s
little hut of leaves aud grasses, and
then mounting h ■■ rode off down the
trail.
Holton now he t no time in deciding
on his court e. obviously it was to the
intciests of lus gmernmetit that this

Actor leaving the bnes, Hotton quir

Shadow of the bushes until he wa:

where could be made out the light of

A® the officer watched him. the er-v
raised his hand, and a low but pmu
■rating whistle broke the stillness o'
■he night. A lantern waved from a
craft in the bay, a ad in a few minutes
the rattle of oars iu their locks
sounded.
—As the bti.it came shoreward. Holton,
non breathlessly interested, wriggle**
his way nearer the spy and flattened
against the sand and shielded by small
growths of chaparral, lie awaited tin
arrival of the boat.
As it grated on the beach, a to*1 of
*cer sprang out, and Holton had no dtf
*uby in recognizing him as one o
leiierg! Shaffer's aids.

“1 thought go. too," was the reply
‘There was difficulty in getting out oi I

"All right. What is it?'
“Calixto Garcia is not vour friend j
He is one oi the leaders in a plan to

anded it to the officer who read it by
igliting a match and holding it in
font of the paper.
"That is a copy of a letter which

"Are you sure of this?”
“Absolutely. But I will say thi®
much: The message, as i have it, i;

“Very well. H/ive you anything els*
to tell me? Will Garcia carry out ill
arrangements made with General Shut
ter this afternoon?”
“Oh, yes; lie will. You will under
stand that nothing which will .hinde
American success against, (tie Span

“Very well; I’ll report to the com

“I should like to accompany you t(

have some questions, and, in any cv n*
I shall feel safer at sea just at pres

“You see," the spy added, “my role
as one. of the leaders of the Cuban
Junta, coupled with my supposed be
lief in the absolute integrity and disin
terest ednees of the United States as

Miniuged his shoulders and lifted his
bands.
"All right," grunted the American;
"jump into the boat.”

for a iP'X'ncnt and repeated his whis

lay there he)nle. -1y, regarding the four
figures who stood over him,
“What is it ?’’ he heard the officty
ray.
“Merely," was the reply, “an inquis,

bother me so—you have no idea.”
“Well." w as the laughing reply, "you

with them. Now, come on, If you are
coming.”
' 'I hank you: yes."
He dellveia d a volley of commands
in Spani'-li, hi caking so rapidly that
Holton could not understand a word.
'I he men replied in kind, and then the
officer and the spy stepped into the
.Hint and were rowed offshore.
CHAPTER VIII.
A Grim Announcement.
The limn, who proved to be three g|
vmtic in groes anti a white man, at
irod ill the blue drill uniform of a
-.punish officer, with a little cockade in
>is till hat, jerked Holton to his feet,
nt the lashings about his ankles and
■lurried him toward the trail.
Finally, aw hints of dawn appeared
overhead, the party arrived at a Htnull
clearing where wire picket* d some
l ore of horses, with their riders, e\i
iently a contingent of Spanish cavalry.
Th-re was a short coult renee. and
ben the gag was taken from Holton’s
mouth and he was lilt' <1 upou a pony.
Hie cavalcade took up the tri ll which
ran alongside tire mountain, below the
camp of Garcia, in the direction of
Sant iago.
As the sun rose, a halt was called in
a little valley, and preparations were
made for what Iloltou believed would
be a stay of considerable duration.
It was then that for the first time
a word was spoken directly to Holton.
\n officer—not the one who had fig
ured in his capture, but the man in
charge of the detachment—confronted
■ he American as he sat on the ground,
and. releasing his hands, placed a
gufmi over him.
"You will have apportunity for two
iioin*' rest,” lie said, bowing. “Then
we shall p-occcd at once to Santiago.”
“Hut why have I been captured?”
i rotested Holton. “I am a non-combat
nt.”
He produced his credentials as corre
spondent of the London Standard. Tin
officer examined them carefully. Then
.;e placed them iu bis pocket.
“I uni convinced you are lying,” h<
replied simply. “Our information con
corning you is exceedingly accurate
For your sake I trust the papers may
be found correct. For otherwise”—hi
'hrugged his shoulders—"you are i
spy."
a chill passed over Holton. He had
not thought of (bat before. A spy! And
j in war time they* bad a summary way
of dealing with such.
After a very meager breakfast, th«
men threw themselves upon the
ground, chatting and smoking, and
Holton did likewise.^ He felt in its
fullness the relief of having his hands
roe. and, in large measure, despite

non all about. In bees in** possessed ol

at him with a troubled fa'-e. A‘ Icrtt-Mi
he came up to Holton and drew him to
one side.
"I am sorry to inform yon," he said,
"that 1 have ordeis here lo hang you
at once.”
Holton stepped back as ‘hough he
had jeen struck in the face.
“Hang me at once! ' he cried.
“Those are my orders, signed by ihe
commander-ini hief of this province.
"Hut tliere must tie some mistake,”
Holton went on. "I am not a spy; hut

I am sorry, but—” Hie fellow s'nr iggcd

Holton's mind worked hk. Jiglitrlog.
The men w ere engaged if. In t aking
camp and the one who hart been guard
ing Holton hart turned aside at. !he of
licer’s approach, and now, will, !,i*
back toward the two, was eatnr-.itm a
clip of bullets from his Manset ;.»••
hind Holton was ail apparently ini,.*w.

The muscles of his bodv erev !ei.e«,
and then with all the skill and all trie
sureuesu of direction of the elia.c.f'on
middleweight boxer at Annap.i’., ho
sent his fist swiftly and st'.ci;Jy .. o
the officer's jaw. Without a sound ' e
man crumpled to the ground. Hol'w.i
stepped back into the thicket, was
blocked a few feet from the trail, but*
exerting all his power, forced his way
into the depths of the jungle.
During a full minute silence r- tgned
in the camp. It was all of 'hat period
before the prostrate officer, hidden by
tite long grass, was discovered by lie’
ion’s guard. Then his outcry sound d
through the clearing, and in amvtb-r
instant loud commands were I,”'’!!?
uttered and bullets vrer“ cm. -ig
branches of manigua on all side* o‘ ‘He

As he worked his way along a litGe
lane, apparently formed by nature or
by the deer that, used to inhabit that
motion, opened before him, continuing
or a clear quarter of a aide. This ze
’ook with the speed of one of the tur
ner denizens of the jungle, never
i ting up until he. had traversed t.s
I length and had broken once more 'r.to

The shouts had grown more dial art,
and Holton knew that no one else Had
stumbled upon the trail or at V .■•-l
that was his belief until he henwl be

J ing down llie clearing, lie pa .--u.

He had no thought of getting clear
away until ho had made a strong ef
fort to perforr the mission U|x»n which
lie had been dispatched.
After walking all day with infre
quent halts in tlie torrid heat, making
perhaps ten or twelve miles, he came

One of these he climbed and at length

general way.
It may have been fever working In
iiis blood, although he felt well, but
through hia mind ran something, not a

Finally, staggering and stumbling, half
asleep, he obeyed the inward Injunc

at last he fell into a heap, dead asleep.
When he awoke he was shivering.
