A crisp DNpcr cracked to her touch.

That would be Reinforcement. Any
thing was better than the torture of
stagnation. She would leave Trinidad
Jose to watch the bubbling Of the spring
for her, and she vaguely hoped if she ap-
preached the Barraca some providential
way of hearing from him might be found.
It had been talked of before. Dona
Beatriz and her companions had desired
to 60 if they could place themselves I'M
der efficient protection. and she was here
this very morning to learn the decision
of the sonora. The general being thor
oughly enlisted. it required no long time
to make the necessary preparations.
Swift messengers were dispatched to
town to do what was needed there, and
all was got ready for an early start next
morning. AS the group went back
through the garden mazes, Amy turned
almost involuntarily for her usual walk
out through u side gate in the hedge One
and then another of them decided to &C
company her, though it would have been
much more to her liking to have the
children alone.
BeatriZ. too. had noticed her devotion to
the walk. and even her peculiar proceed
ings at the cross. This time, while Amy,
not to seem to go there too directly, led
the children away little distance, Bea-
triz, whether out of pure goodness of
heart and DESTROYS to be first In decorat-
ing the cross, or obeying some secret
suspicion. went to it before her. The
cross was of wood, with q rude canopy,
and had vines running up the post,
on which hung three red earthenware
pitchers.
She had in her hand bunch of the
beautiful white flowers of st. John. She
was about to put them in the largest of
the pitchers, when, she knew not by
what extraordinary intuition. she first
thrust her hand down into It. A crisp
paper cracked to her touch. With great
self control she gathered it up with her
white nosegay, which she carried then
by natural gesture to her breast. Act
ing upon second thought, she left no
flowers behind her in the pitcher except
some faded ones already there, and it
was all done with such def rapidity
that when Amy turned round she was
with the others at large Celba tree,
and no Indication of what she had done
remained.
Amy's own visit was made with more
difficulty. She waited good half hour
before she could feel sufficiently free
from observation. She looked in. Moth
ing there. That was singular, for she
recognized with an exulting throb that
her own had gone. Perhaps Walter had
been surprised at the moment of effect
ing the exchange, perhaps he had been
obliged to leave his missive behind him.
or had been unable to write one in the
wanderings i'll which he might now be
driven about. She had no reason to s1ls
pect anybody; had not her former letters,
and this one too, lain there week in and
week out undisturbed? At any rate. hers

"Some OF it may be reaI-put 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!" the Spanish word of
sympathy, caught up Familiarity from
her companions mo, we must talk of
you. Oh, what strange way to meet!
Tell me at least that you have been sue
cessful, that all is going we'll"
mo, at present 1t is going very ill;
the end seems put off to very long
time" he said, with the despair of fail
ure in his heart "It was for that |
wanted to see you, to arrange 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. 1.-THE amount is one that
makes n poor brain dizzy. 1t is already
magnificent success.
''It is a mere drop in the bucket" he
reioined, bitterly, after his usual way of
looking at it. ''Surely the state of affairs
md 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 ges-
ture of CONSERVATION. 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 little involuntary resent
ment when she tried to comfort him by
representing his defeat as victory, and
he was glad, after all, the confession had
not reached her. He experienced proud
revulsion of feeling on the whole sub
ject, and something more of his self es-
TEEN returned to him, now that she did
not know who he was, and to what tragic
history he was bound.
eyes, as events have turned out, it
will be best that nothing of it should
ever be known till success is certain" he
mentally decided.
Still, the letter had gone astray, and,
though unsigned and in some respects
enigmatic, there was no telling what new
element of danger might not be involved
in it's loss.
While they were still animatedly dis
cucsing the loss of the letter the Indian
fruit seller came around the corner and
sent Walter q shrill warning in the form
of snatch from ballad.
'Time Is passing, time up" she sang;
"those who do not buy my fruits when
they are ripe may regret them when they
are withered."
''Where next-where next can we
meet ?" demanded Walter. sis there no
way? In another moment we may be

come down to the church very early in
the morning, even before the devotees,

CHAPTER XII.

THE PASSION OF DONA BEATRIZ DE RIVERA.
''How worn and i'll you look!'' said
Amy at once on greeting him. SIS it

And she took her gently by the arm to
draw her away.
She checked her own feelings with
wonderful calmness, in order to protect
him.
But one of the painful thoughts by
which Walter Immediately began to be
troubled was that she also had not recOg-
nized him. He had clearly seen the sur
prise dawn and grow on her face. The
intuition of Beatriz was the quicker.
They separated, but 1t is certain that all
looked forward to another interview that
might crafty the special desire of each.
Sister Beatri@, struggling with a
strange mixture of motives, being there
partly to pray against her own weak
ness and partly drawn on by her heart,
would not absent herself from the pres
ence of Amy.
The second day of their stay was COM
ing to its close; they were to leave ON
the morrow, and Walter had made no
progress. He called to him an Indian wo-
man bearing jar of water on her head.
'Amiguita, there are some Sisters Of
Charity over there, or sisters of some
kind or other" said he to her. "You
have great deal of respect for them,
have you not, though the government
treats them so roughly?'
Eyes, indeed have" replied the wo-
man, sturdily.
"And you would like to hold some
improving conversation with them,
would you not?'
Eyes, would like that, too; but they
can't be expected to pay much attention
to such as ]"

'That's it, that's it; l see you under

Dental way. This is perfectly
straight affair."
The woman was puzzled, but there
was the silver awaiting her, and even
portion of it already in her hand as an
earnest.
At the same time, if the moment you
begin to talk to her you carefully drop
this note in the lap of the lady sitting
next to her-the one with the bright
hair-that is another dollar. You sec,

Who 1t is makes no difference either to
you or me. These comfortable caballeros
can pay well for their nonsense"
The woman went and set down her
jar, 'reappeared with small tray of
fruit, and proceeded on her mission.
Amy was presently aware of a robust
Indian woman in reboso and petticoat of
the blue stuff woven in the place push
ing almost rudely between her and Dona
Beatriz and addressing some affecting
appeal for sympathy to the latter. At
the same moment a note fell in her lap.
It was of the following purport:
''Can the senOrita see for moment

who speaks little English? He is at
the bells, and they are easily reached by

Amy slipped within on the instant.
