supply of cigarritos. The tiger lay in the
yard summing himself, coied up i n the dust
and apparently asleep.
Presently large ackass-an animal with
which every Mexican town abounds-walked
eisuroly up to the gateway and poked in his
head, either to inspect the premises, ask the
price OF corn, or enquire after the health of
the senoriias.
As quick as lightning the tiger, " ho was a
