Tht Man Who Would Know Ufa. Lster that day O'Reilly sot out to reconnoiter the city of Ncuvitas. He was followed, of course he had ex psscted as tnoch, and the cirenmstanocs amused rather than alarmed him. But when he returned to his hotel and found that his room had been visited during nis absence he felt a hint of uneasiness. Evidently, as Doctor Al varado had forecast the authorities were Interested In him; and he had further evidence of the fact when he learned that the room next him was occupied by the very man who had shadowed him on the afreet. Inasmuch the Intervening wall was no more than a thia partition, through which his very breathing could be heard. while his every movement could doubt less be spied upon, O'Reilly saw the need of caution. ttering breakfast, and afterward throughout an aimless morning stroll. O'Reilly felt watchful eyes upon hiiu. When he returned to his hotel he found Mr. Carbajal In the enfe con cocting refrescos for some military offi cers, who scanned the American with bold, hostile glances. O'Kellly com plained to the proprietor of a tooth ache. He declared that something had to be done at once, and inquired the name and address of the best local dentist Mr. Carbajal named several, among meni vr. lomas Alvantdo, whereupon Lis guest hurried away, followed at a respectful distance by the secret spent. Finding Doctor Alvarado's office was closed, as he had anticipated, O'Reilly proceeded to the doctor's residence. There was some delay when he rang the bell, bat eventually the dentist Limself appeared. O'Beiliy recogniged hira from his resemblance to his brother. He addressed him In English. "I come from Felipe,- he bemm. "He well remembers the day you whipped him to keep him from going to the Ten Tears war." The languor of Doctor Alvarado's siesta vanished. He started, his eyes widened. "Who are yon?" he mattered. "My name Is O'Reilly. I am an Amer ican, a friend, so don't be alarmed. The man you see approaching la fol lowing me. but he thinks I have come to you with a toothache.' "What do yon wantr "I want your help In joining the lo- eurrectos.' By this time the detective had come witma earshot Making an effort at tfu -possession, the dentist said: "Very eu. i win meet yoa at my office In a half-hour and see what can be done." Then he bowed. O'Reilly raised his hat and turned away. Doctor Alvarado's dentist's chair faced a full-length window, one of sev eral Wttfrh a ftaf . - . , --uuou iasnion, opened directly upon the sidewalk, ren dering both the waiting room and the office almost as public as the street lti,?lf. Every one of these windows was wide open when Johnnie arrived; but It seemsd that the dentist knew what he was ut for when his pa tient had taken Lis seat and he had begun an examination of the trouble some tooth, he said, OLder his breath: "I, too, am watched. 'J... Ik to me in English. When I press, Uic upon your gum, yon will know that sowne Is passing. Now, then, what is ti meaning of your amazing message from Felipe V While Doc.or Alvarado pretended to ' treat a perfectly sound molar, Johnnie managed, despite freouent Interrnrw tlons, to make known the reason and ; circumstances of his presence. "But there are no rebels around here." Alvarado told him. "You could escape to the country, perhaps, but what then? Where would you go? How would they know who you are?" "That's what I wont to find out." The Cuban pondered. "You'll have to go to Puerto Principe," he said at length. "Our men are operating In thut neighborhood, and my brother Ig naclo will know how to reach them. I'll give you a message to him, similar io me one you brought me from Ke- I "ie. men ne em ed.

What do you think of the Idear "Not much," O'Reilly said honestly. "Difference in temperament I sup pose It Is a sick fancy, but I've got it I'm a rotten coward, but I'll Bght If the Cubans will take me." "Where are the Cubans?" "Oh, they're out yonder In the hills. I know all about 'cm. Come over to my quarters, and ril show you a map. If you're Interested." "I am," sawl O'Reilly, and, rising, ha followed his new acquaintance, angeade, lie heard someone speaking an atrocious Spanish, and looked up to see that another American had en tered. The stranger was a (sit, fune real young man, with pallid cheeks ami hollow, burning eyes. O'Reilly stepped over to the table and Introduced him self.

And I asked for -yellow' a glass or agwa with yellow." Branch's voice shook. "I'm dying of a fever, and this Ivory-billed toucan brings me a quart of poison. Bullets!" It was Impossible to describe the suggestion of profanity with which the speaker colored this Innocuous expletive. "Weak as 1 am, I shall gnaw his windpipe." He bared his teeth suggestively and raised two talonUke bands. The waiter was puzzled but not alarmed. He embraced himself as his customer had done, and shuddered; then pointing at the bitters, he nodded encouragingly. O'Reilly forestalled an outburst by translating his countryman's wants.

By the light of her eye, the sprlghtlines In her step, hy ber quick, defiant expression, Isabel made It clear to us thst she wis no ordinary cow. "A Jersey," my father sold. But I think he was mistaken. I don't know much shout cows. She wstited place In the son. She had a hankering for mW and she refused tuituodlutcly to herd with the everyday, milk glvlnj cows In the neighborhood. Old Mr. J, who had taken the cowa to the pasture for years, reported to father at the end of the first day that j Isabel had taken one look at her placid, grass-munching companions and bolt ed. He had chased her the entire dat through forest and glade, and brought her home, after spent day, rebellious and detlant " Taint no use talking." said the old iimn, "If a cow don't act like a cow 1 can't be bothered. That critter's got too much sense for an animal, taint natural. I know she Jest did things today out of sheer spite, ami I shan't chase after her no more." And he didn't So luibel stayed lu'tne, while her companion went weekly to pasture every day. Still she was dissatisfied. It was evident that stayius In a dreary baru all day irked her high strung nerves. She had yearn ings for a hlghi't sphere of Influence, so one day, the door being opvn. Isa bel walked out In search of adventure and her place In the sun. And It was on that same day that Evelyn, our pretty young city cousin, was packing her clothes to go borne. Evelyn had been with us for three month, having been sent by her pa reus to recuperate after her Illness. Evelyn was working very hard. Up compressed and eyes carefully turned away from the house next door, where lived Howard It. She would return his ring by mail, for she was deter mined not to see him or speak to him oeiore sne lett or any time afterward. It was certainly a pity that there was nobody home that dsy. Mother had gone to the house of a neighbor. and I hsd been obliged to substitute at the school because Miss F was Sick, and It was deemed ln.idrlx.hte to close up altogether. We expected to return in time to see Evelyn off, and of course if we had known what was going to heppen we would never, never have left her alone In the house, But then. we could hardly be expected to look so far ahead. Evelyn was miserable, but she had lots of pride. She was going to leave the house and the village with won derful show of carelessness and sprightly gayety. No spying eye from across the way would discover even a trace of sadness. Certainly that spy Ing eye would never discover a tear la hers. But she had reckoned with out Isabel, who, on leaving the gloom of the barn for the freshness of the bright summer day, strolled slowly along until she came to the back of the bouse. There, through the screen door, she could distinctly see a basket of greens. Intended for the day's din ner, a barrel of apples, of which she aas extremely fond, and another bar rel of potatoes. Without hesitation, the screen door being unfastened, Isa bel stepped in and helped herself lib erally. In the meanwhile Evelyn, hearing sound, came forward to see who th visitor might be, thinking, too. that If It were that Howard B , she would let Dim see, by her Icy demeanor, that bis presence or absence made very little difference In ber young life. Now, the ice-cold demeanor might have been put on for Its effect on Howard B . but real chills ran down Evelyn's back when she saw who the visitor was. She couldn't help it She knew it wus ab surd, but all ber life she had had an aversion for cows. So. after starins at Isabel In trrritn-d fascination for a full minute, she t,.at a hasty retreat to the front of the house. And Isabel left her greeny snd tipples, and potatoes, and followed. In a calm, dignified, unruffled manner. Evelyn rushed for the front door, it was locked and she couldn't find tin- key. Mortnl terror overtook her. Scream on scream rent the air. Howard B , In the house opposite, sullenly concocting schemes for making Evelyn sorry, Jumped to his feet on hearing Ids name called in frenzied ac cents. For a moment he stood still, doubtful If he lu,d beard riclit. Again It came. Evelyn's voice, loud, shrill, terror-stricken. Howard rushed mad ly, made his way Into the front of the house, and took In the situation nt a glance.

In its general features Puerto Prin cipe differed little from the other Cu ban cities O'Reilly knew. It was com pactly built, It was very old and it looked its centuries.
