THE LOST TURQUOISE MINE.
A Story ofHow II Was Found and Lost
and Also Its Romance.

a Story ofHow II Was Found and Lost
and Also Its Romance.
Chicago Tribune.-Since his return
from Mexico, J. c. Thompson, district
passenger agent for the Northern
Pacific railroad company IN chicago,
has been wearing a ring set with a
stone of womb Gus Delaty-a CCra, per-
feet turquoise OF u~u-ual size and
brilliancy. 1t has excited no little C m
ment among conncisseurs; and the eX-
pert who set the stone asked whence
it was obtained. Behind the story lies
the tale of a sudden flush in the tur-
quoise market, when man was sent
rushing from New York to Mexico to
buy the output OF the newly discovered
mine. In the cry, dusty, sunbaked
little adobe town of Las Cruces, in the
Rio Grande valley, between Albuquer-
cue y. NJ, and FL Paso, Tex, where
some 500 Mexicans loll away their
dreamy days, young French Larber
named De Mules cast his lot
De MULES was plucky and enterprising,
and he soon learned the language and
became known TO all the travellers and
tourists. The young Frenchman was
smiling and happy, rolling out in soft
accents the bars from a love song, re-
gardless of heat and dust and other
Mexican discomforts. He saved HIS
small earnings that he might one day
return TO the land of his birth and TO
his widowed mother. Walz & Co.,
dealers in Navajo blankets, Mexican
drawn work, opals and topazes, sent
many a customer to the sunny young
barber.
The dark eyes of a Spanish senorita
peeped from under her drawn veil at
De Mules one day and his song grew
more tender and dreamy. Sometimes
he would break off in the middle of a

he had aroused in the girls breast

The Bath Basket.

1t is suggested that for the woman
who does not possess the luxury of a
private bath a bath basket would be a
most desirable possession. Such a
basket would be exactly like baby's;
in fact, you begin by selecting a large
sized baby basket for the purpose.
Silk rubber pockets of various sizes
may be sewn to the sides, and will
serve to hold toothbrush, nailbrush,
bathbrush, washcloth and sponge.
There may be also pouches for talcum
powder and other complexion beauti-
fiers. In the bottom of the basket
may be set the cold cream, soaps, al
mOnd meal, vasehne and kindred
articles. The convenience of such a
basket is chiefly that it can be so
readily carried about and that it holds
the various things all together.

the acquaintance was hardly begun,
the senorita's father swept down and
forbade the barber to cast so much as
a glance toward his daughter. She
was, he affirmed, affianced TO Senior
Volquez, a Mexican, owner of many
fine horses, and whose chief accom-
plshment was his excellent marks
manshIp.
Poor De Mules submitted in out
ward behavior, but grieved secretly,
and then told his troubles to the men
he shaved. The senorita was guarded
closely by an old serving woman.
Throughout the Rio Grande valley anu
in the Orgacs mountains near by are
found beautiful topazes, opals, anne
thysts and turquoises. One day an
idea lodged in De Mulies's head.
Il he had money he could snap his
fingers at the senorita's father and
bear his sweetheart TO his own coun-
try. In the Orgaos mountains there
must be a wonderful bed of the finest
turquoises in ali the world. They
meant wealth TO some one, why not
to him? His eyes glittered when he
mentioned them, and people began 10
tap their foreheads significantly. MIR.
Thompson dropped into the BARRIERS
shop one morning. De Mules had
soon hold him all about the glowing
bed of turQuoises, and with pleading
in his eyes begged monsieur" To-
'grubstake" him.
I'll do it, De Mules; how much do
you want?" was Mr.. ThompsOn's ans
wer. The little Frenchman threw
down his razor and Rugged his visitor,
lather and all, in his delight. Three

cried. Il was almost there, and ii

promptly forgot all about him. He
reached Las Cruces again six months
later, and had hardly established him
self in the town when De Mules
rushed upon him. He was more worn,
and his eyes shone with fercer frenzy.
This time, monsieur. ah, this time
