"Is it real, or only a part of your disguise?" "Some of it may be real but let us not talk of that; time is too short; let us talk of yourself." He was looking at her with timidity and misgiving, aided by the? effect of the poor peasant attire he wore, to see if perchance he might divine some results from the confession he had made her. 'Pobre!" using the Spanish word of sympathy, caught up familiarly from hor companions "no, we must talk of you. Oh, what a strange way to meet! Tell me at least that you have been suc cessful, that all is going well." "No, at present it n going very ill; the end seems put to a very long time," he said, with the despair of fail ure in his heart. "It was for that I wanted to Eee yon, to aTange for the future, to make some new little plan of action." "But you speak of failure and of these millions you have gained in the same breath?" she said, repeating the figures he gave her and catching at this as some thing tangible. "The amount is one that makes n.y poor brain dizzy. It is already a magnificent success." "It is a mere dropin the bucket,", he rejoined, bitterly, after his usual way of looking at it. "Surely the state of affairs and the reasoning presented in my letter can have made but little impression upon you." Thus the letter came to be spoken of, and its loss was discovered. Amy raised her small hand to her forehead in a ges ture of consternation. As is a common experience, they could not at once verify the exact date and fix all the attending circumstances through which it might have been accounted for. With Walter there was one redeeming feature in it. He had felt a little involuntary resent ment when she tried to comfort Mm by representing his defeat as victory, and he was glad, after all, the confession had not reached herxHe experienced a proud revulsion of feeling on the whole sub ject, and something more of his self es teem returned to him, now that she did not know who he was, and to what tragic history he was bound. "Yes, as events have turned out, it will be best that nothing of it should ever be known till success is certain," he mentally decided. Sim, the letter had gone astray, and, though unsigned and in some respects enigmat ic, there was no telling what new element of danger might not be involved in its loss. While they were still animatedly dis cussing the loss of the letter the Indian fruit seller came around the corner and sent Walter a shrill warning in the form of a snatch from a ballad. "Time is passing, time up," she sang "those who do not buy my fruits when they are ripe may regret them when they &va vrH.rtnrpwL,r L3r (Little Pills), 25 cents a vial, one a dose.

"Luz, her mother and Beatrix were in the same room with me; some of them were awake, and I had to wait till they slept again. I doubt if Dona Beatriz had slept all night: and you saw yesterday how quick she is to penetrate one's plans." "Could it be anything more than quickness?" queried Walter, and they re turned to the subject of the letter gone astray. Amy repudiated the idea. They could discuss nothing thoroughly, but dashed from one topic to another. Walter re peated hurriedly the same account of events in the canyon which he had before written, and then spoke of the uncertain future. "Do not look any more for the regular bubbling of the eprinjj," said he. " I h ave told you of my present plan, and there is no saying henceforth where I shall be or what I shad do. I lor will it do to trust to letters again." "And I shall not hear from you? You will disappear utterly?" '-'If my new attempt does not succeed, perhaps I shall soon reappear in my own person; concealment would be no longer of any use. But I will try to find some means cf keeping you m mmd of me. It may be possible to use a messenger. By those whom it is delightful tore member we do not wish to be forgotten." Amy was burning to tell him feeling ly of her sympathy and distress for him in his hardships, her warm belief in bis final triumph, and her desire to be pa tient and strong for his sake, but it was too late; people came and interrupted, and Walter went away with a little im pression of coldness on her part. The horses were already stamping without, and he overheard Don Angel summon her with boyish impatience, saying: "Well, are you not ready? The sun is half an hour high: we ride early here in the tropics, and we must be off." The Arroyo ladies were among the other worshipers by this time, and it seemed to him he could not escape de tection should those familiar eyes fall upon him.

AVERT & EKVIN, S. M. UODIW K, This asth day of Aug. 1S90. Coai'r. "Where next where next can we meet ?" demanded Walter. "Is there no way? In another moment we may be watched, interrupted." "I can think of only one plan. I might come down to the church very early in the morning, even before the devotees, and pretend to be one of them. You could kneel near me, and we could talk in English without appearing to be com municating with each other." "Then, quick! to-morrow, if you will. I shall be there even before daylight." And they parted. His messenger followed him to claim her reward. Afterwards, she went and talked about him to an arriero, Perfecto Ponce, whom we have briefly seen as the friend and critic of Antonio Gassol in the nrsE cnapter. iius man had come up among the bands of pilgrims. "Is he one of the schoolmates? Does he know the time of day, since he does such peculiar things?" she asked, in mys terious praseology. "I'm not quite sure that he is of the society," replied the other, equally ob scure. "We must look him up; we must keep an eye on mm." Afterwards, who should come up to Walter but his old servant, the dismissed Pablo! This fellow, so stupid otherwise. had some animal like scent for identities, and began to peer at him in the same in vestigating way as before. "You look like a better man," said he. suddenly, meaning, no doubt, to test him. "I wish I could say as much for you, my friend, though we are all made in God's image and likeness! You will find that m your catechism." Walter thoroughly understood the ways and speech of the lower class, and couia adapt himself to them at need in humorous, rollicking fashion. He had a gift of mimicry, too, with which in gay moods he would amuse his friends, and he drew upon this in disguising his voice. Pablo was apparently puzzled, but not convinced. But twilight was drawing on, and at this moment, from under the wide curtain draping the main door way of the church, issued forth the saint's procession, which was the main feature of the festival. A large female figure in black velvet gown, silver adorned, with joined hands and a" tearful, pleading ex pression, was carried around the plaza on a platform amid a multitude of at tendants with lighted candles. She tot tered under the unsteady motion of the shoulders that bore her, ar.d the counte nance, looking down, had a very real and human aspect. Amid such a melee, for thoy were u?ar the front, it was not diGieult to slip away, and for the morrow he made some further changes in his personal appear ance. - He was in the church at the very first gray ot morning. Amy uiu not come down for a long time. He grew im patient, alarmed. The sky was pink in stead of gray, and their last opportunity was passing. ' "I could not get away before without aiousinx. suspicion." bUs said, when. the vegetation of a courtyard. His in vestigations had already shown him there was an exit to a lane. Around the courtyard was an arcade of the usual sort, and on the top of one of the stuc coed walls, stained lees-of-wine color, was a small belvedere. Dona Beatriz, who might just have come in or might have been obscured by a column, glided into the cloister after him, and, touching his arm, addressed him in a most agitated way. As before, he was disposed to deny his identity, but she persisted. "Do not be afraid of my betraying you,' she said. "I am prudent. I pass my whole time here only in praying for your welfare and safety: could I then be capable of endangering you? You have trusted your secret to her; oh, I beseech you, let me who would do so much more for you, who would give my heart's blood for you let me also have Bonr share in serving you." "This from you, Sister Beatriz?" "It cannot be wholly a surprise to you, for Amy has told you of my feelings." "She has; but I could not find it in my heart to believe it of Dona Beat riz, whom I have alwaj-3 looked upon as the sweetest and most perfect of saints." "Call me saint and perfect no longer. unless it be saintly to worship an earth ly hero and type of gallant boldness who well deserves it. I am changed; your words have sunk deeply into my mind: I believe nothing or everything just as you would have it. I belong no more tc the religious life, and in the great world what can I do if you are not with me?" "Tell me, Dona Beatriz," said her com panion, gently, touched as what man could fail to be by such an all pervading, uncalculatmg affection? "how yon knew I had confided my secret to Dona Amy.'' She blushed with the ingenuousness oi one little used to duplicity, yet replied boldly: "I found the latter at tli9 crosa of the English governess. I did not know what or from whom it was at firt, but I sus pected. It was not till I heard you de clare yourself Ignacio Gomez that it was all clear to me beyond a doubt." - "And you openly avow that you took a letter that was not yours and did not return it, even when you knew to whom it belonged?' "There was one excellent reason why I did not return it," she persisted. "No; I could not. My heart bled for you on divining that confession. I could not bear that you should humiliate yourself before her. Dear Don Walter, you are too high and noble) to be an object oi condescension to any one in the world." Walter winced before this commenda tion, this touching of the sore spot even by such as she. "As for me," Dona Beatriz went on, "it brings you but the nearer to me. This painful secret needs no apology for me. lo know you have suffered makes -you only the dearer." Surely here was a strong appeal; there was a great sense of rest to him in know ing his secret shared and yet no odium falling upon him on account of it; but more was to follow. "You have suffered her to aid, and yet it was I who was far the stronger. Lis ten, dearest Don Walter; you are in want of very great resources; I now know the reason why. Well, I, even 1, might give them to you. If I could command a treasure sufficient for all your needs, would you share it with me?" "Does all the world think of nothing else but treasure ?" he cried, as if this were only a kind of specter conjured by her out of his own thoughts. "And you, poor Sister Beatriz, what have you to do with such things?" He looked at her commiseratingly, and began to doubt her sanity. "It is in my power, poor and weak as you think me. Nobody can hear us; I speak of the treasure of my convent, buried securely away against the ereed of the selfish men who would have robbed us of that as of everything else." She no doubt saw bis face change, and went on hurriedly, ardently, as if she saw him yielding: "I trust you at once, though no one else knows it; I can have no fear of you. It is close by the spot you cleared for us in our old garden of Santa Rosa. It is buried in the founda tion wall, and made a part of it, so thstt they might dig the whole place over and never find a trace of it." "Is it yours to give. Dona Beatriz?' Again she flushed most deeply. "To use it for youi mission would be right," she replied. "To whom, indeed, does it really belong? It. can ' never again be used for the rsllgious purposes for which it was designed. The survivors of the convent who are very few have no fight to tisa it in luxurious living, even if thyir inclinations did not forbid. If ii bts seized it will not sco to the service of the state, dui to ieea individual ra pacity. Then to what better end than the one you have in view is it ever likely to be devoted? Take me with yoa," she pleadsd. "Ycu have always been so good to me, I belong to yon and not to myself." Walter was convinced that her state ment was true; many small circum stances from the past wove themsel ves to gether to strengthen the conviction. It needed a strong motive, indaod, to resist so dazzling a temptation. Nor was it purely mercenary, for the churni3 of Dona Beatriz were gveat, and one could foresee how she would develop under freedom, which sha would enjoy with the zest of an escaped bird, and but now he had thought Amy cold. But motive comewhere there was that gained the victory even over so many combined al lurements. A crippled beggar, from the church door, bore shaded up closer to them, asking for ahaj. Walter motioned him away, and they two moved some what farther on, in the cloister. "1 cannot share it with you; 1 cannot take it," he responded. "Git 6 up thes Btrange ideas, and be again the uu worldly little Beatriz I have alwavs liked." "You cannot take it! Oh, I felt it would be so. But tell me why. why' she besought. A worse man would, perhaps, have been kinder on the surface, but Walter was master, even in such a case, of some of that Spartan firmness which fits one for great things. "It is best, to say it plainly; to accept it, I ought to love you." ho replied; "and. while I admire and esteem you mott warmly as no man could help doing I do not love you." She bent as if before a heavy blow, covering her f.-ice a moment with both hands. "There are those who hate if they are not loved," she said, with a touching pathos, after commanding herself again. "I am not one of them. I -an never wish to be revenged, nor think bitterly of you. Then take it without me. I can die. It shall never be said I imposed myself as a condition upoa a means that may secure your happiness." Walter advanced towards her to take her hands and speak soma kinder, more reassuring words. But tit this timo, though the sky w;is blue and the sun bright, a strange, calauiitous wind arose. The belvedere above the wail toppled into the court with a crash: the ground swayed and oscillated beneath their feet, and in some places wan seen to open; one of the most severe earthtpiakes known in that district for years had ensued. "It is a judgment," cried Beatriz, who seemed stricken by a mortal terror. "The voice of heaven has spoken against me." Walter had to look on from a distance at the departure of Amy like the merest stranger. He 6aw that she had come to no harm. The company, recovering from their panic, moro in haste to be off than ever, went away in a somewhat disorder ly manner, many very anxious to see if any damage had been done at the haci enda. In the shock several curious things had happened. The cripple in the corridor with Beatriz and W alter, for instance, had shown surprising activity, ne made quite a normal use of his legs thereafter, and on returning to Cuernavaca report ed to the Jefe Politico that Dona Beatriz had talked in a very animated way with a man who, though wearing peasant's dress, did not appear to be a peasant. Upon his heels came Pablo, who had identified this peasant as the same one he half suspected to be Don Walter. "Pooh! pooh! it is not probable," scoffed the Jefe Politico. "Neverthe less, we will keep an eye out for these birds, too." ' And so it happened that if the first re mote glance of scrutiny l)egan to be cast towards Walter's own treasure it was because Beatriz had offered him hers. He had got but a little way out of the place, in starting upoa a renewal of his journey, when he heard rumors tliat the disturbance had been particularly vio lent over in the direction of the Barranca of Cimarron. One informant, just down from Huetongo, said he had seen a mighty column of smoke arise from there and ' mount a prodigous distance into the air. All other anxieties were swallowed up in the thought that he ha 1 better turn back and look to the safety of the property left behind. He therefore took a;ra:u to his devious routes. But procet-d cautiously as he would, he met a nuuibt r of people prowl ing about in this district wont to be so lonely. "Why is there such an unusual beat ing of the woods just now?" ho asked, entering into conSdenlLd relations with one of them near Huetongo. "The kidnapers aro at their tricks again. Awhile ago they carried off Kaufmann, the foreman of the glass works, around at Lake Jornada, and a reward is offered. It is said he has been seen over this way lately." ""If Kaufmann has been carried off ho keeps very cool about it." commented Walter To be continued.)
