On the •"Contrary, under her lover’s care she made so amazingly swift a recovery That improvement was visible ftom hour to hour; she rallied like a wilted flower under a refreshing rain. It was ■O’Reilly’s presence as much as the nourishing diet provided by his money which effected this marvel, although The certainty that Esteban was alive and safe put added force into her determination to live. Rosa found hope springing up in her breast and one Say she caught herself laughing. The marvel of it was unbelievable. O’Reilly was sitting beside her bed of leaves at the time; impulsively she pressed tils hands to her lips. “Such happiness as mine belongs in heaven,” she managed to tell him. “‘Sometimes it frightens me. With you t>y my side this prison is a paradise and I want for nothing. War, suffer-

ing, ’distress —I can’t imagine they longer exist.” “Nevertheless, they do, and Matanzas is anything but a paradise,” said he. “We must set about quickly to get out of it." “Escape, you mean? But that is impossible. Asensio can tell you all about that. The Spaniards used to issue passes for the men to go outside the lines in search of food. It wa§ just a trick. They never came back — all of them were killed. Everyone knows better than to try now.” “Nevertheless, we, can’t stay here mych longer.” In answer to the girl’s puzzled inquiry he explained; “My money is gone—all but a few- cents. This is the last of our food and there is no chance of getting more. Jacket has some mysterious source of supply and he manages to bring in something every now and then, but there are five of us to feed, and be can’t furnish more than enough for himself. No, we must make a move at once, while we have the strength.” Rosa had not asked the source whence came the blessed food which was bringing the life blood back into her body, and although that food was not much —a little meal, a plantain, an occasional scrap of meat or sish —it had never occurred to her that the supply might be limited. She met the problem bravely, however. “I have been close to death so long that it means little to me,” she confessed. “I have you, and —well, with you at my side I can face the worst.” “Oh, we won’t give up until we have to,” he assured her. “If I had money it would be a simple proposition to bribe some guard to pass us through the lines, but I have spent all that General Betancourt gave me.” He smoothed back Rosa’s dark hair and smiled reassuringly at her. “Well, I’ll manage somehow; so don’t worry your pretty head. I’ll find the price, if I have to waylay old Don Mario and rob him. Don’t you think I look like a bandit? The very sight' of me would terrify that fat rascal.” “To me you are beautiful,” breathed the girl. Then she lowered her eyes. “La, la! How I spoil you! I have quite forgotten how to be ladylike. Isabel was right when she called me a bold and forward hussy. Now, then, please turn your face aside, for I wish to think, -and so long as jjoU look at me I cannot—l make love to you brazenly. See! Now, then, that is much, better. I shall hold your hand, so. When I kiss It you may look at me again, for’ a moment.” Drawing herself closer to O’Reilly, Rosa began thoughtfully: “Before you came I more than once was on the point of appealing to some of my former friends, but they are all Spaniards and we are no longer—simpatico, you understand?” Rosa paused for his answer. ‘Terfectly; I’m in the same fix. Of all the people I ured to know there Isn’t one but would denounce me if I made myself known. Now that I’ve been fighting with the insurrectos, I daren’t even go to tire American consul for help—if there is an American consul.” Rosa nodded, then continued, hesitatingly : “I had a vivid dream .last night. Perhaps it was a portent. Who knows? It was about that stepmother of mine. You remember how she met her death? I wrote you—" “Yes, and Esteban also told me.”

“It was he who recovered her body from the well. One day, while we were in hiding, away up yonder in the Yumuri, he showed me an old coin —" “I know,” O’Reilly said quickly. “He told me the whole story. He thinks that doubloon is a clue to your father’s fortune, but —I can’t ifut much faith in it. In fact, I didn’t beHeve until this moment that there was a doubloon at all” “Oh, Indeed there was! I saw it” There was a moment of silence during which the lovers were oblivious to all but each other, then Rosa murmured “How strange! Sometimes your eyes are blue and sometimes gray. Does that mean that your love, too, ean change?” “Certainly not. Bat come, what about Esteban and that deubloon?” With an effort the girl brought herself back to earth. “Well, it occurred to me, in the light of that dream last night, that Esteban may have been right. Of course nobody outside of pur family credits the old story, and yet my father was considered a very rich man at one time. Pancho Cueto believed in the existence of the treasure, and he was in a position to know.” “True! Perhaps, after all—" O’Reilly frowned meditatively. Rosa lifted herself «pon her elbow, her eyes sparkling. *WotiMn’t it bo O’Reilly, cases of Spapfeh gold, silver in casks, packages of gems. Oh, £ve heart! Isabel talk about it often enough.” "Don’t forget those pearls from the Caribbean, as large as plums,” Johnny smiled. “I could never quite swallow

that. A pearl the size of a currant would buy our freedom right now.” After a moment he went on, more seriously; ‘Tve a notion to look into that old well this very afternoon. I —l dare say I’m foolish, but —somehow the story doesn’t sound so improbable as it did. Perhaps it is worth investigating—” He made up his mind swiftly. “I—l’m off this very instant.” When O’Reilly emerged from the hut he found Jacket Industriously at work over a fragment of grindstone which he haff somewhere unearthed. The boy looked up at his friend’s approach and held out for inspection a long, thin file, which he was slowly shaping into a knife-blade. “What do you think of that?” he queried proudly. “It may come In handy when we are ready to clear out of this pesthole.” “Where did you get it?” -“Oh, I stole it. I steal everything I can lay my hands on nowadays. One can never tell when he may have a throat to cut, and a file has good steel in it.” “Since you are such an accomplished thief, do you think you could steal something for me?” O’Reilly inquired. “A piece of rope?” “Rope?” Jacket was puzzled. “Rope is only good for hanging Spaniards. My friend in the fish market has a volandra, and —perhaps I can rob him of a halyard.” Laying aside his task, Jacket arose and made off in the direction of the water front. He was back within an hour, and under his shirt he carried a coil of worn but serviceable rope. Without waiting to explain his need for this unusual article, O’Reilly linked arms with the boy and set out to climb La Cumbre. When at last thej r stood in the unused quarry and Johnnie made known his intention to explore the v old well, Jacket regarded him with undisguised amazement. “What do you expect tp find down there?” the latter inquired. “To tell you the truth, I don’t reqlly expect to find anything,” the man confessed. ‘“Now that I’m here, I’m be-

“I’m Going to Have a Look for the Hidden Treasure.”

gfrining to feel silly; nevertheless, I’m going to have a look for the hidden treasure of the Varonas.” “Hidden treasure!” From Jacket’s expression it was plain that he feared his friend was mildly mad. Even after O’Reilly had told him something about old Don Esteban’s missing riches, he scouted the story. He peeped inquisitively into the dark opening of the well, then he shook his head. “Caramba ! What an idea ! Was this old man crazy, to throw his money away?” “He —he had more than he knew what to do with, and he wished to save it from the Spaniards,” O’Reilly explained lamely. “Humph! Nobody ever had more money than he wanted.” The boy’s disgust at such credqlity was plain. “This well looks just like any other, only deeper; you’d better look out that you don’t break your neck like that foolish old woman, that Donna What’s-Her-Name.” O’Reilly did indeed feel that he was making himself ridiculous; nevertheless, he made the rope fast and swung

Jflmsgff down out of the sunlight, leaving Jacket to stand guard over him. Perhaps fifteen minutes later he reappeared, panting from his exertions. He was wet, slimy; his clothes were streaked and stained -with mud. Jacket began to laugh shrilly at his appearance. "Ha! What a big lizard is this! Your beautiful garments are spoiled. And the treasure? Where is it?” The lad was delighted. He bent double with mirth; he slapped his bare legs and stamped his feet in glee. O'Reilly grinned good-naturedly, (TO BE CONTINUED.)
