the eyes of the world or in those of the
persons immediately concerned. The
fortune that had been need for specula

was that of a young girl, distantly con
nected with his mother, whose large in
heritance had been placed in his father's
hands with absolute confidence by her
father's will. She was now nineteen; in
two years an account of this inheritance
must be given. On his fathers death
Derwent had assumed the guardianship
and tonnd himself to make this account,
before he discovered the grim fact that
was later to overwhelm him. He re-
memliered then some words uttered by
the dying man when lie understood that
“1 am speculating in mining properties,
he said frankly. “You see. 1 speak Span

Derwent understood then what was than this property." he wrote, "and, asl
meant, and he understood it with fresh take it for granted that you want it to
force when 1 'h discovered the truth. He
had long known that his father wished
him to marry the pretty orphan heiress
whom his mother already loved as a
daughter. It was probably because the
marriage was so desirable that lie, with
the coutrarity inherent in human nature,
had never felt himself drawn toward the
idea, although he thought it likely that
in the course of time propinquity and
the family wishes, not to speak of Miss
Lenox’s own charms, would finally
bring such an end about. But now. with
the revelation of his father’s meaning—
“marry the girl and she need never
know that I have lost her fortune”—he
felt his whole nature rise np in passion
ate protest. He said to himself that it
would be a vile thing to do—to offer to
this girl, who might he won to love him,
a mere semblance of affection, in order
that the knowledge that she had been
robbed might be concealed from her.
Yet there was his father's honor to be
saved, and. hardly less in importance to
him. his mother’s comfort and happiness.
Stung by these thoughts, the young
man groaned aloud, and it was then that.
ha’r, yon know—see?'
“'Just so,’said Sam as he continued
writing. When he had finished he
turned to Pete, and holding in his hand
a sheet of paper asked that genius if he

read as follows

But beautiful faces were no more than amid many wild plans, the recollection
episodes in the life and thoughts of Der
went just now. After a youth of re
markable freedom from that form of
care which is the most universal and
harassing of all known to the sons of
men—the care that springs from money
or its lack, in one form or another—he
had by the death of his father been sud
denly brought face to face with financial
difficulties which threatened more than
the toss of luxury and ease. The loss of
honor was involved. A fortune held in
trust had been risked and greatly im
paired. if not wholly lost Derwent felt
as if he had passed at one step from
youth to age when he found himself con
fronted by this terrible discovery. To
of those old Mexican stories came to him
like an inspiration. He resolved to make
one bold fight for fortune and honor and
liberty. Yes, liberty, too, for if he ever
went as a suitor to Sibyl Lenox he wish
ed to go with the freedom of an honest
man. and not with the feeling that he
would caver robbery by that worst
tare, ann wnen all his affairs were in
order told his mother that he was going
to New Orleans on business and would
probably "take a run into Mexico” from
there.
Mrs. Derwent was surprised and not
very well pleased by this. She not only
adored her handsome sou. but she de
pended upon him in a way common
replace what had been lost—even if by ' enough with women who have never
the sacrifice of all his father’s property
it could be accomplished—would reduce
his mother and himself to absolute pov
erty. To do him justice, he did not
think of himself at all: but such an idea
connected with hia mother—the most
luxurious, delicate, fastidious of beings,
accustomed from her infancy to wealth
—wrung hia heart. He asked himself
what he could do to avert a calamity so
great that he could not foresee the end.
To replace what had been lost by ordi
nary methods of business, and within a
very limited space of time, would have
been difficult for any one: to him. with
out business training or experience, it
was simply impossible. Speculation re
mained; but speculation is a fire that
scorches, often fatally, those most fa
miliar with it. No. gambling in any of
the seductive forms known to the Stock
exchange would not answer. “If I ven
ture to speculate," he said to himself.
“it must be iu something with a solid
value."
Vaguely be thought of the great mines
of the west, but If the desert hills of Ne
vada held any more Comstock lodes be
knew that they were not for men of
moderate fortune. And then came the
recollection of days that he bad spent as
a boy with an uncle in western Louisiana,
if visits to Texas, of the old Spanish
town of San Antonio and of stories told
there of Mexican bonanzas—of ranges of
mountains rich in silver ore; of flooded
mines where the water had grown too
strong for the primitive native metboiU
of draining, and men had stood by and
watched with tears the great vr-ius. shin
ing with native silver, hidden from their
sight: of mines only a hundred or two
feet deep that hud already yielded mil
lions and were to be purchased for little
or nothing in consequence of the refrac
tory character of the deeper orea. All
of these stories, with many of the ro
mantic histories connected with famous
Mexican mines, the toy had drunk in
and looked wistfully toward the southern
border, where lay that wonderful land
which hwl already yielded a wealth
greater than that of the Indies and which
now awaited a new race of conquistadores
—men armed with the mechanical in
ventions of the Nineteenth century—to
wrest its still hidden treasures from the
grasp of nature.
When the memory of these things
came to him, be said, “I will go to Met
loo." And this resolution was confirmed
by the fact that he had arqmred.
through sheer love of nature, one branch
of scientific knowledge which would
prove of value to him there. From bis
school days be bad liked geology, studied
It with interest, and become almost un
consciously a good mineralogist. He had
never been near a mine without examin
ing it: and a tour through the west had
derived its chief interest for him from
thia source. The idea of utilizing the
knowledge so acquired bail never oc/nir-
red to him until the present time, but
Bow be felt sure that he wonld not need
the services of any expert to determine
the value of mineral property; he was
certain that he would know a good mine
when be saw it “And unless things
have changed very much,” he thought,
“many good mines are to be had for
moderate prices in the obscure districte
of Mexico. It is there I will go."
He told no one of hie intention. In the
first place, he could tell no one of the
reason for it—that was a secret he was
determined not to share with any human
being—and, secondly, he was well aware
how visionary and wild such a scheme
tvonld appear to either his own or his
lather’s friends, who knew him only as
• young man of fortune, totally withont
brni a sea training and unsuspected of
Bcientffio knowledge. Whatever he did
most be done withont oonneel and with-
ont help. And here the latent strength
of hia character showed itaelf. He de
cided and acted promptly. He wonld go
to Mexico; he wonld look for investments
out of which money might lounediately
and rapidly be made, and in this specu
lation—which meant financial life or
to him—ho wonld risk
known wliat it isto Htaml alone. Men
like such women better than those who
are more self sustaining, but there are
times when this clinging dependence be
comes a little trying. Fond us he was of
his mother. Derwent felt that he suffered
ill his freedom, and. aitbongh he had
prepared himself for the protest certain
to come, it nevertheless annoyed him.
“My dear boy!” in an accent of min-
gled astonishment and remonstrance,
“why should you go to Mexico?”
"My dear mother," he replied, smiling
and endeavoring to keep the annoyance
he felt out of his voice, "why should 1
not go—for a little change? The country
is becoming immensely popular as a
place of travel, and must be Very inter
esting., 1 shall probably not be gone
more than a few weeks.”
“It is a terribly uncivilized country."
said Mrs. Derwent. “Just think of the
people—regular brigands! And the rev
olutions! If yon go, 1 shall be miser
able about yon all the time."
"1 hope not." said Derwent. '‘There
is not the faintest reason why you should
be. The country, from all that 1 can
gather, is quite as civilized as our own.
and the people are eminently kind,
hospitable and not at ail giveu to brigand
age. You remember how delighted the
Sterlings were with their visit there last
winter.”
“1 remember that they brought back
some very pretty things; 1 did not pay
much attention to what they said about
the country But why shonld you go—
and leave me all alone? 1 do not think
you ought to leave me alone, Geoffrey
Your father would not havedofle it."
A black edged handkerchief was lifted
to a pair of violet eyes that time had not
robbed of their beauty; and Derwent,
with an aspiration for patience, could
only reply;
“Yon ought to know that 1 shonld not
think of leaving you alone. Sibyl Lenox
is rea<ly to come to you at any time and
Halbert"—this was a consiu—"will look
after yon in any contingency that might
arise requiring masculine assistance."
“Why shonld Frank Halbert be ex
pected to look after me instead of my
own son?” demanded Mrs, Derwent with
tearful dignity. “Bat all yonng men
are alike in these days—all selfish and
think mg only of their own pleasure.”
"If yon believe that I am thinking of
my own pleasure, yon are greatly mis
taken," said her son gravely. “1 was
never less disposed for pleasure in ray
life. I wish you would trust me and be
lieve that I wonld not go away in this
manner without a good reason."
Something in his tone—some uninten
tional betrayal of the constraint lie was
putting on himself—made Mrs. Derwent
forget her petulance. She looked at him ’
with a quick, solicitous glance, “Is
anything the matter. Geoffrey?" she
asked.
“Nothing, mamma," he answered ca
ressingly, “except that I am sorry to
worry you in any'way, and yet it is
really necessary, from a business pot... of
view, that 1 shonld take this journey."
“Oh, if it is business”— she said: that
word meant to her all that was vsgne
and disagreeable; “but I did net know
that we had any interests connected with
Mexico."
“Not directly, but Indirectly," an
swered her son, hating himself for the
evasion that savored of falsehood, which
of all things he most despised. Then he
added quickly: “You must trust me, and
believe that 1 wonld not unnecessarily
leave yon alone. Besides, yon will really
not be alone. At 1 have said, Sibyl”
‘‘Oh, Sibyl it always ready to come,"
■aid Mrs. Derwent. "My own daughter
could not be more kind and devoted.
Ah. Geoffrey, if 1 could only hope that
coma day the wonld really be my daugh
ter I"
“It is beat to let the future take care
of Itself," replied Geoffrey, rising. This
was the last subject he wished to dis
cuss. The very name of Sibyl Lenox
was like the touch of fire to a burn. “I
will bring yon all the pretty things I cat
sell again. 1 advise yon to lose no time
in securing it." The report inclosed was
of such a nature that Derwent immedi
ately made his prenarations for deuar-
winie yon must take care of yourself
and not fret.”
There was a tender farewell, for the
mother and son were truly devoted to
each other, and then, with a great sense
of relief. Derwent found himself speed
ing as fast as steam could carry him
toward the distant, mysterious land of

A DANGEROUS GAME OF BLUFF.
Nerve DUplayed by a Theatrical Manager
In a Foolhardy Feat.
Sam T. Jack is a splendid binder,"
said a gentleman from Kansas yester
day. “1 remember him best when he
was traveling through Kansas with a
burlesque road company. He once struck
Dodge City with a big opera touffe
troop. It was years ago, when Dodge
City was at the very verge of civiliza-
tiou—just hanging on to the edge, as it
were. There was no regular show-
house. aud no decent hotel. There was
plenty of money, thongh, and that
brought Jock and his company. The
town was fnll of cowboys and roughs,
aud they all determined to see the show
and incidentally have some sport with the
management
“Mr. Jack learned this and realized the
necessity of impressing the natives with
a due sense of his awfnlness as a fighter
before the show began. At that time
one Peter McCarthy was the deputy
sheriff of Dodge City, and was a reason
ably efficient officer. For this reason it
was that he felt in duty tonnd to warn
Mr. Jack of the awful possibilities of
exhibiting himself on the streets of
Dodge City in a white ping bat and a
fancy vest The well meaning deputy
sheriff affected to despise tenderfeet,
but because of this feeling of official
responsibility — which sentiment was
doubtless more thoroughly aroused at
the thought of a possible free seat at
the snow—he started in to give Jack
timely warning, and began his remarks
as follows:
“ ‘Be yon the show boss?’ asked Pete.
“ ‘1 am, sir,' was the reply.
“ ‘Yon all allow to act out in the town
hall tonight, 1 reckon?”
“ ’Yes, sir.'
“ ‘Yon goin y’se’lf
“ Yes. sir.’
“ ‘Be yon goin to rustle around town
much in thet thar white stovepipe hat? 1
“ ‘Well,’ said Mr. Jack, who had be
come tired of being catechised, ‘if yon
will submit yonr questions in writing—
provided yon can write—1 will lay off a
day and frame my answers for yon, bnt
let me ask a question. Why do you want
to know whether I will rustle or no, and
why this pointed reference to my
Greeley hat?
“ ‘Wall,’ responded the sheriff, a little
hot himaelf, ‘‘cause I kem in hyer to
give yer a pointer; ef yon do w'ar thet
