an American doctor-lately come into town,
who had once treated Concho and his mule
with apparently the same medicine, and after
the same heroic fashion. Concho reas-
oned, not illogically, that if he were
to be physlcked at all he ought
to get the worth of his money. The
grotcsque extravaganza Of life, of fruit
and vegetables in California was inconsistent
with inflnteSimal doses. In Conchos pre-
vious illness the doctor had given hima dozen
four-grain quinine powders. The following
day the grateful Mexican walked into the
doctors ol'iCe-cured. The doctor was graft

TO save trouble, and because lis memory was
poor, Concho had taken all the powders in

down e&haustotly in one Of the doctors two
chairs, what now:' Have You been sleeping
again in the tule marshes, or are You upset
with commissary whisky: Come, have it out"
But Conrho declared that the devil was in
his stomach, that Judas Iscariot had possessed
himself Of his spine, that imps were in his
forehead, and that his feet had been scourged
BY Pontius PLATE.

Concho looked guilty at having gllpcd

il fine and jolly 1t is yours" And he handed
over the contents of the precious tin can he
had brought with hun.
The doctor took it, looked at the shivering
volatile mass, and said: "Why, this is quick
silver"
"Concho laughed. ayes, very quick silver,
So" and he snapped his fingers to show its
sprightliness.

Left to himself, the stranger took more

reflection. Scamp as no was, there was some
thing in the simple credulity of poor Concho
