While you must take care of yourself and not fret"
 There was tender farewell, for the mother and son were truly devoted to each other, and then, with great sense of relief, Derwent found himself speed lEg as fast as steam could carry him toward the distant, mysterious land of New Spain.
 He met Morell in the City of Mexico, and up to that morning in the Alameda all seemed going well with the negotia- tions for the mine. Then suddenly an obstacle was thrown in the way whether a real obstacle or merely a trick of trade Derwent felt himself unable to determine; but his firmness seemed to have an effect, for day or two after ward Morell announced that they were ready for investigation. You will go to Guadalajara," he said where Fer nandez is ready to make all arrange ments for showing you the mine. You will have to make a trip of sixty or seventy miles on mule back into very rough country; but I suppose you don't mind that?"
 "Not in the least" said Derwent quietly.
 Il don't think it will knock you up you look like a man who could stand hardship pretty well-and you will be rewarded by the sight of such mine as one does not see in the states. Don't try to talk to the owners. It will do no good. Let Fernandez manage them. All you have to do is to verify our state ments about the width of the veins and the value of the ores. If the property suits you, we will keep our word about getting possession of it. 1 will give you a letter to Fernandez and telegraph be- sides that you are on the way, so that he will be ready for you. l hope all will go we'll"
 "As far as am concerned, there is no reason why all should not go well" said Derwent, who was mentally set down ever seen engaged for the first time in such business. His mind had under gone rapid and complete change with regard to the young man during the few days of their personal intercourse. An ticipating complete ignorance and an un- limited capacity for imposition-of which, however, he had virtuously de- termined not to take advantage-he | found man concerning whom he tormu- lated his opinion to Senor Fernandez in characteristic terms.
 "There is no good in attempting any tricks with him." he wrote. "He is wide awake and shrewd to the last de- gree. We must do a square business with him, if we are to do any at all, and be satisfied with 8 moderate profit. am sorry that we did not put higher price on the mine, but there is no hope of advancing it now. He will pay what he agreed, or nothing. I sounded him and am sure of that. Keep Barrera quiet if you can. As for the mine, if can stand on its merits. I have no fea1 of that"
 Preceded by cautions like these, Der went finally took leave of the city oi Mexico and set his face toward the beau tiful city, with the Spanish name, which lies in the lovely valley of the Lerma.

Seen first in the light of sunset which filled the whole earth and sky with rose ate flush, Guadalajara, with it's slender towers and shining domes rising out of the wide, verdant plain, seemed to Der went like a city of dream-as fair and white and graceful as if builded of mar ble and ivory instead of common bricks and mortar. La Perla del Occidente," friendly Mexican fellow traveller told him it was called; and the poetical name suited its appearance well, as it lay steeped in sunset color, the spires of it's cathedral rising against the pellucid sky, it's Byzantine domes glowing with rides cent color, shaded avenues leading to it's gates from all directions, and exquisite ranges of azure heights framing the beautiful expanse of the great valley which encompassed it.
 "What picturew said Derwent to himself, as he craned his neck out of the window of the railway car to take it in more fully. "And what a country!" he added, as his glance swept from the pearly towers to the wide, luminous horizon, over miles of level plain covered with tender green and set with gleaming villages. ''As beautiful as Europe, as picturesque and romantic as the east. really hadn't the faintest idea of what should find herer he added, prosaically, as the train, slackening it's speed, passed through gap ill the city walls and made it's slow way to the station.
 "You were inquiring for the Cosmo- polita," said the conductor, as it finally stopped. "Here is the porter" And he pointed to tall, slender Mexican, wear ing short, braided jacket and the name of the hotel in large letters around the crown of his sombrero.
 | This dignifed person took Derwent's valise, invited him by a gesture to fol low, and threaded his way easily through the crowd toward the place of exit. De- clining a carriage-for the exquisite evening air made walking delight Derwent followed his guide along g street which led past a beautiful old church with an elaborately sculptured front of brownstone, through lovely plaza green with trees and fragrant with roses and violets, where military band was playing and numbers of people were sitting and walking, up 8 crowded thor. ouQhfare lined with handsome buildings,

FashlOnabIe Furs.

Sealskin, sable, mink and Astrakan are the fashionable furs this season. Sealskin retains the preference for large garments, though many are also made of mink, of Astrakhan and of the black Persian lamb. For small articles brown furs of long fleece, such as sable and mink, are in especial favor, as they harnonize with the stylish brown stuffs of winter dresses, which are often trimmed with these furs- Curled gray kriramer and the fine Africa chinchilla a are the gray furs most used-Harper's BaZar.
