Which encompassed it.

window of the railway car to take it in

added as his glance swept from the
pearly towers to the wide, luminoe
bonzon.over’nilesof level plain covered
with Under green ami set with gleaming

picturesque and romantic as the east. I
really hadn't the faintest idea of what 1
should find here!" be added, prosaically,
as the train, slackening its speed, passed
through a gap in the city walls and made
its slow way to the station.
•Von were inquiring tor the Cosmo-
polita." said the conductor, as it finally
stopped, “Here is the porter." And he
pointed to a tall, slender Mexican, wear
ing a short, braided jacket and the name
of the hotel in large letter! around the
crown of Ins sombrero
This dignified 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 carnage—for the exquisite
evening air made walking a deiight-
Derweut followed bis guide along a
street which led past a beautiful old
church with an elaborately sculptured
front of browustone. through a lovely
piasa green with tree* and fragrant with
rosea and violets, where a military band
was playing and uamhers of people were
Bitting and walking, up a crowded thor
oughfare lined with handsome building*
and filially into the courtyard of a large
Spanish house. Where at the bead of the
broad stone steps he was met by an
English speaking landlord, who relieved
him of all further necessity to think fot
himself.
An .tour later he was seated at one ot
the small tables placed invitingly around
the gallery which overlooked the large
inner patio, or court, with Senor Eer
nandet opp<.site him. The scene was
altogether charming to eyes fresh from
a more nortbem latitude. The polished
tile* that formed the floor of the wide
gallery stretched to a stone balustrade
where broad leafed tropical plants were
set in large pnta. while through the great
arches that sprang from pillar to pillar
the dark violet sky. sown with golden
Stars, looked down. Around the gallery
various other parties were dining at the
tables set here and there, waiters, noise
less as oriental slaves, skimmed lightly
back and forth over the smooth pave
ment, the air was soft aa a caress, and—
most important point—the cuisine was
excellent
In the intervals of doing justice to it
Derwent studied the appearance of the
man to whom Moreil -d consigned him
Henor Femandex was probably of mid
dle age. but he bore Ilia yean lightly. A
slender, dark man. well bred, well
dressed, with all the courteous suavity
of his country, it was impossible not to
find him agreeable; yet Derwent war
conscious of a sentiment of distrust
which be could only account for by be
lieving that it sprang from a warning
given him before be entered Mexico by a
man who knew the country well
••The men.’ be said, "whom I advise
yoa to look most sharply after in bosi-
ness dealings are Mexicans who have

when you find one who la thoroughly
Americanised It la generally safe to
watch him.*
This waning from a shrewd practical
eaan had struck Derwent as rather an
amusing oommaotary on the higher civ-
ttiaation which at another moment the
speaker would have been ready enough
to arrogate to himself and his people
but be remembered it whea Moreil said
go him: "You’ll find Fuuaudaa speaks

by Derwent's reply to this.

can he no doubt that •sharp American
practices will be among the first im
provements that American admirers
will import into Mexico."
Senor Fernandex smiled, but it was in
a somewhat disconcerted manner, as he
bowed over 'ii* glass of claret. "I am
delighted to find that you ha\e so high
an opinion of Mexico." be said. "Most
Americans think that we have mnch to
learu ami thi * we cannot do better than
copy their more forrmiate country.”
“Most Amcncans—like their English
kinsmen—are too narrow minded to un
derstand that patent Anglo-Saxon meth
ods of civilization don't suit every peo
ple," eaid Derwent. "God knows, they
hail better reform themselves before set
ting out to reform the world. But you
take nothing more, senor May 1 offer
yon a cigar?"
It was accepted and lighted, the table
cleared and then the two men looked at
each other with a glance of mutual In
terrogation.
"Let us get to business now." Derwent
said. “You have heard from Moreil, of
course. Y’ou know that I am here to
examine the mine that, you am) he are
offering for sale. When can we go to
seeitr
“We can start tomorrow if you like,"
the other answered. "We will take tha
diligeuCia to Eitzatlan, and from there
it is twenty leagues on horseback to the
Buena Eeperanza."
“ ‘The Good Hope,* " said Derwent,
unconsciously translating "L that the
name of the miue? It may be a good
omen."
"The mau who first found the lode
and gave it that name thought so. and
it proved so good a hope to him that he
realized a fortune from it. Several for
tunes. m fact, have been realized from
the Buena Esperauza. but now the
water is troublesome, tlie ores have
grown rebellious, the present owners are
too poor to handle the property, and so
they will sell It is a wonderful mine to
go for such a price. Mr Derwent. Yon
will say that when you see it.”
"If so. the price will be promptly
paid." said Derwent "But what is that
Moreil was telling me about a difference
of opinion among ths owuers with re
gard to the sals?"
"Oh, there ia one of them who is dis
satisfied — thinks the mine onght to
bring more, doesn't want to sell at all
in fact, and regrets having joined in the
bond. But tlie others brought pressure
to hear on him and made him sign: so
you need not fear about the title."
This was explicit enough and suffi
ciently plausible, but tlie same instinct
of distrust which he had been conscious
of at first made Der went say to himself
that there was something iu the tran
saction which might not perhaps reflect
credit on Senor Fernandex if known. It
plainlv did not concern him. however
to take up the vaguely suspected griev
ance of an unknown Mexican. That
must be settled between the parties con
cenied. All that he had to do was to
look at the mine, and if assured of its
value pay the price asked iu case a good
title could be given him. It was set
tled that they would start the next
morning, and since nothing could be de
termined until this journey was made.
Derwent! who heard seductive strains
of music near by. proposed that they
should finish their cigars in tlie open air.
“We will go to the plaza," said Senor
Fernandez "Every one is there to
night Yon will see some very pretty
women. Guadalajara la famous for its
beauty."
“There are very pretty women in
Mexico," observed the young man. “In
fact I think that one face which 1 saw
m the Alameda hut Sunday morning is
the most beautiful I ever saw anywhere.'
"Oh. Mexico, being the capital, gathers
its beanty from all parts of tlie country,
and of course it has more fashiou. more
style." replieil Fernandex “But it is
nard to surpass Guadalajara for loveiv
girls. Come and judge for yourself.”
They passed out into the soft, tropic
night. The plaza from which the music
proceeded was only a block distaut. and
when they gained it Derwent thonght
that be ha<l seen nothing more hand-
some and imposing even ia the city of
Mexico than the tnrronndings of the
beautiful garden which occnpied the
centre of the large hollow square, the
old Plata d* Armas, that was always
the scene of tnmnlt and fighting when
ever revolution arose or war invaded the

rose a light Moorish pavilion, from
which a military band was pouring forth
mnstc. Orange trees that filled the air
with the fragrance of their bloesotna
lined n broad walk sarronndlag the par
terre# of turf and flower* and fountains,
where between opposite rows of well
filled benches two streams of prome-
naders were walking—all the ladiea in
one direction, all the men ia another,
thus passing and re passing each other aa
often as the circuit of the square was
mada. Electric lights shed their white
radiance over the aedne. People were

least disorder, for the perfect manners
of the people are never more fully dis
played than in these large open air gath
ering*. where the same courtesy and de
corum reign which would distinguish a
private company in the moat exclusive
drawing room.
Derwent eat down with hia companion
on the first bench where vacant eeate
presented toemselvea, ana looked at the
setting of this attractive scene. One
side of the square Was faced by the long
and handsome front of the governor s
p*l«re. Me other by the grant mam of
the cathedral building*—a ptctnneqae
mixture of Byzantine and Greek archi
tecture. with its tall towan rising
j against the deep violet sky. The re
maining two sides were lined by bril-
i hantly lighted arcade* and the whole
’ effect was of a long established order
and opulence.
'•Oh. ye*" said Senor Fernandex in
answer to a remark to this effect. "Gua
dalajara has been a place of great wealth
and importance for more than two hun
dred year* It is only second in Impor
tance to Mexico Itself. But observe
whether or not 1 have spoken to yon
; correctly of the beanty of our ladle*’
"1 have already seen a number of pret
ty faces." answered Derwent. • "Guadala

in many respect* Bat—by Jove! it
can't bo pus-iblet—ye* it is— Well,
this is certainly extraordinary!’
| Aa he altered these quick, disjointed
remarks, his companion turned, stared
at him for an instant, and then, follow
ing the direction of bis glance, taw in
the line of promenaders a tall, handaoute
man of distinguished bearing advancing
with a beautiful girl on hia arm. She
walked with a step as firm, a carriage as
stately as his own. and they were both
of appearance so striking that they
wonld have attracted attention any
where.
"Ohl yon know Don Msuriaio then?’
said Fernandex. in a tone of snrpriae,
which, had Derwent observed, would
have strnck him as not being very well
pleased. But he did not observe at alb

“No more carious than that yon are

•miling. "Those people have a large
hacienda ne* this place, and Don Man
rixio has evidently come in to meet uis
daughter on her return from Mexico."
"Bat Moreil told me that her father
was au Irishman."
“Well, so be U. Do yon think he
looks like a Mexican? He is Don Manri-
zio Ormond, who married the great Car-
della heiress She had a magnificent es
tate, bnt he has doubled or trebled it

“But princes do not exist in Mexico.’
"No; we have only a few great landed
aristocrats to represent them, bnt Don
Manrizio, it U said, will go to the Old
World for an alliance for bu daughter.
He comes. I believe, of a noble family
himself, and as for the Cardellaa, every
body knows that they are of pure Span
ish descent and have held their lands by
royal grant since the Conquest.’
“The matrimonial prospect* of' the
Sennrita Ormond seem to be a good deal
canvassed," said Derwent “Moreil told
me, when 1 saw her In the Alameda,
that she would probably marry het
cousin, the representative of her mother's
family, in older to restore the lands to
the name."
"The Cardellaa are, of oonrae. anxions
for that; bnt it is said that Don Maorixio
does not favor the ids* How Dona
Zarifa stands herself 1 have never heard,
bnt she will certainly have a word to any
in the matter, or report does her injus
tice."
“She has too noble and too strong a
face not to have a word—the moat im
portant word—to say," Derwent re
marked positively. "That girl will
never allow her band to be given away
for considerations of family or ambition.
Bnt they do not return. Surely they
have grown tired of walking very soon."
“Probably they were only taking s
turn aronud the plaza while looking for
seats," said Fernandex "Shall we walk
and look for them?"
"By all means," answered Derwent,
rising lightly. As with hit companion
be fell into place in the circling mascu
line throng, he did not think of the dif
ference between the first time he had
seen Dona Zarifa and the present. The
first time he had been indifferent whether
he saw her again or not. while now he
was conscious of a strong desire to look
once more on a face that fascinated him
like a rare ami exquisite picture.
Bnt, although he made several circuits
of the plaza, and scanned as closely as
was compatible with good manners the
row of faces on each side of the prome
nade, he had no farther glimpse of Don
Maorixio or hU daughter.

Til# of Elevator*.
With the modern elevator almost any
speed desired can be obtained; it all de
pends on the power nsed and the dis
tance traveled, la a building which has
a abaft of 250 feta a speed of from 850 to
1,000 feet a minute can be obtained. On
a rise of 150 feet it is easy to get a speed
of 750 feet per minute with a weight of
1,000 pounds aboard the elevator. In
New York the fastest elevators are in
ths Union Trust company's building on
Broadway, near Wall street They shoot
np or down, carrying 8.000 pounds, at a
speed of 600 feet a minute. When tested
with lighter weights they have traveled
from 800 to 900 feet in a minute.
Bnt the average speed of elevators in
office buildings in and around New York
is 800 feet a minnte. It is best adapted
for work, and experiencs has demon
strated that more passengers can be car
ried daily in a car going at that speed in
the ordinary large building than any
other The increase in the site of ele

Measle. Mere Fatal Thu IiiSussi*
The mortality from measles exceeds
anything that can thus far be directly-
attributed to influenza. It apjiears that
over 13.000 deaths from measles occur
annually in England and Wales, and the
rate of mortality has greatly increased
during the last decade. Why do we
take no account of it? Because, 1 sup
pose, measles is most fatal to infants,
whereas influenza chiefly carries off the
aged. We all of os expect to grow old.
bnt we can none of us hope to be young
again. Yet the life of a healthy infant
la of more value than that of a sexage
narian who has not etrength to combat
