heart she felt treasured, for had he not
on former occasion demanded the en-
tire contents of the heart of the earth?
There are two things to be done,'
said Walter. I'm the first place, will
you give me few points about New
York-the hotel at which may be sup
posed to stop, for instance, and the thea
tres, palaces, noble monuments and gal
leries of pictures and sculpture that
may see?-so that | can write as if ]
were actually there"
Alas! our poor noble monuments and
galleries of sculpture! However, l will
put our best foot foremost"
I'm the second place, will you be capa-
BILE of SO much duplicity as to find some
one in New York to receive the letters
and RENAL them from there?"
''It is in good cause, and undertake
it,"
She sent one, in fact, to her friend Miss
Winchester. another to her family, and
another again to Miss Winchester, ex-
planning it in each instance as joke, the
key to which they should have later.
The composition of the first letter was
entered upon at once, and SO much
amusement was caused by mistakes aris-
ing out of Walters preconceived ideas Of
things in the United States that hui
mOrOuS light was cast, for the time being,
over the sadness of parting. It was pro-
posed that Amy should prepare for him
after each letter few particulars, to give
sort Of contempOraneousnes to the
next. and he was to endeavor to steal
out, in disguise, once q month, to get
these notes, and leave his letter and also
one with some account Of his own dOings.
|'Where shall we put the letters?" asked
Amy.
"You know the cross set up at the
spot where the English governess was
killed by lightning; that is an excellent
place. A natural, easy path goes by it,
and there is a short cut across the fields
to Campo Florido. You can easily make
an excuse for going there. A number of
earthen pitchers are hung to the cross by
leathern thongs, and it is always in order
to fill them with flowers. The letters
must be put in one of these and we'll
covered with leaves
Don Walter had already sounded his
guardians on the subject of voyage to
the United States, and when he finally
announced his determination to go they
were not too much astonished. They
thought it might not be bad thing for
him to see little more Of the world
perhaps he would settle down more con-
tentedly at home on his return. He had
no desire to hunt up his relations in New
York, but he made this an occasion for
finding out as much as possible about
them. The Senoritas Arroyo, in fact,
knew but little. They were distantly re-
lated to his mother, and it was through
this fact that their adopting him had
come about; but his mother was dead be-
fore his father had brought him to Mex
leo, and nearly all the rest was befogged
and lost in the non-intercOurse the odium
of disgrace had occasioned.
The kind spinsters made pleasant re-
union for him at their house to bid him
Godspeed. He was Of so essentially
frank a nature that he could with diff
Guilty carry off the imposition. Amy was
there, and at the moment of farewell his
eyes gazed long and lingeringly into hers,
while her own were yelled and swim
