Jack Delmonte, too, looked more than once at the slender figure riding so lightly between him and the big rough rider. How beautiful she was! He had not realised half how beautiful till now. What nerve! what steadiness! It might be the Reina de Cuba, Donna Hernandez herself, riding to victory. He felt an unreasonable jealousy of "Cousin Jim."
But but will she like me, Captain Captain Jack?" "Will she?" said Jack. "Will the sun shine?" LAS ROSAS, June , 1898. DEAR UNCLE JOHN: Since I last wrote you, telling of our finding Rita, and of her safe delivery to Señora Delmonte, things have been happening.
"You are alone here, Señor Delmonte?" she asked, glancing around the solitary dell. "Yes," said the young man, composedly. "I'm in hiding." Rita's eyes flashed. Hiding! a son of Cuba! skulking about in the woods, while his brother soldiers were at the front, or, like Carlos, guarding the hill passes! This was indeed being only half a Cuban.
Thence on dashes the train to the celebrated Hotel Delmonte, at Monterey, the show place of the Southern Pacific Railroad, which, by its extortionate transportation charges, has ruined many struggling fruit raisers in this state where monopoly holds such mighty sway.
Soon after, Donna Prudencia appeared, with bedroom candles, and stood looking benevolently at the two young people. "I expect you've been having a good visit," she said. "Well, there's an end to all, and it's past ten o'clock, Miss Margaritty." Rita rose with some reluctance; nor did Captain Delmonte seem enthusiastic on the subject of going to bed. "Such a beautiful night!" he said.
"I wish I had a better one," he said. "This has been out in the rain a good deal, and I'm afraid it smells of smoke, but it's a great pillow for sleeping on." "Oh, thank you!" said Rita. "It is very comfortable indeed. How good you are to me, Captain Delmonte. And whatever you may say, it is a great shame for me to take your own hammock. If there were only another " "Oh, please don't!" said Jack.

Rita is all that I could wish for in a daughter; and I shall try my best to fill a mother's place toward her. In any case, believe me, dear Mr. Montfort, Cordially yours, MARY RUSSELL DELMONTE. P.S. You may ask, does Rita return Jack's affection? I think she does! SANTIAGO, June , 1898.
It is what I expected from Peggy's brother." "May I speak?" said another voice. They turned, and saw Jack Delmonte, his blue eyes alight with eager gladness. "If if Miss Montfort has this noble desire to help in the good cause," he said, "it is easy for her to do it. My mother has turned her residencia, just outside the city, into a hospital. I am going there to-day. She needs more help, I know.
You can dress in the dark?" "Yes; oh, yes! I will come. Manuela! wake! wake! don't speak, but dress yourself; the Spaniards are here." Hastily, with trembling hands, the two girls put on their clothes. No thought now of how or what; anything to cover them, and that quickly. They hurried out into the passage; Delmonte stood there, carbine in hand.
