in his valuation of Spaniards.
Quitting the tableland, ten minutes of
leaping and scrambling brought us to a
collection Of miserable huts built all hig-
gledy piggledy ON the edge of torrent,
overtopped by square building of more
consequence, built of graystone and
rooted with slate shingles, but with
nothing but i'll shaped holes for win
dows, and this Don Lopez, with some
pride, told us was his CASTILLO. A ragged
crew of women and children, apprised
of our coming, by the guide maybe,
trooped out of the village to meet us and
hailed our approach with shouts of Joy,
''for all the world like pack of hounds
at the sight of their keeper with dish
of bones, whispers Jack Dawson in my
ear ominously. But it was curious to
see how they did fall back in two lines,
those that had hats taking them off as
Don Lopez passed, he bowling to them
right and left, like any prince in his
progress.
So we up to the CASTILLO, where all
the men Of the village are assembled
and all armed like Don Lopez, and they
greet us with cries of "Holav' and
throwing up of hats. They making way
for us with salutations on both sides,
we enter the CASTILLO, where we find one
great i'll paved room with stepladder
OH one side leading to the floor above,
but no furniture save a table and some
benches Of wood, all black and shining
with grease and dirt. But indeed the
walls, the ceiling and all else about us
was beyond everything for blackness,
and this was easily to be understood, for
a wench coming in with a caldron
lights fagot Of wood in corner,
where was no chimney to carry off the
smoke, but only hole in the wall with
a kind of caves over it, so that present
ly the place was so filled with the fumes
twas difficult to see across it.
Don Lopez always as gracious as
cat with milkmaid) asks Moll through
Don Sanchez if she would like to make
her toilet while dinner is preparing, and
at this offer all of us jump-choosing
anything for change, so he takes us up
the stepladder to the floor above, which
differs from that below in being cut up
into half dozen pieces by some low
partitions of planks nailed loosely to-
gether like cribs for cattle, with some
litter of dry leaves and hay in each, but
in other respects being just as naked
and grimy, with cloud of smoke COM
ing up through the chinks in the floor.
You will have the sole use of these
chambers during your stay" says Don
Lopez, land for your better assurance
you can draw the ladder up after you
on retiring for the night
But for the gravity of our situation
and prospects l could have burst out
laughing when Don Sanchez gave us

CHAPTER VII.

"We will go on when you are ready"
says Don Sanchez, turning to us.
"Aye," growled Jack in my ear,
with all my heart. For if these
friends be of the same kidney as Don
Lopez, we may be persuaded to take a
better road, which God forbid if this be
a sample of their preference.
So being in our saddles forth we set
once more and ON path no easier than
before, but worse-like very house top
for steepness, without tinge of any
living thing for succor if one fell, but
only sharp, jagged rocks, and that
which now added to our peril was here
and there patch of snow, so that the
mules must cock their ears and feel their
way before advancing a step, now halt
ing for dread, and now scuttling on
with their tails betwixt their legs as the
stones rolled under them.
But the longest road hath an end,
and so at length reaching that gap we
had seen from below, to our great con-
tent we beheld through an angle in the
mountain tract of open country look
ing moorland, green and sweet in the
distance. And at the sight of this Moll
clapped her hands, and cried out with
Joy; indeed, we were all as aad as chill
dren with the thought t at our task
was half done. Only the don kept his
gravity. But turning to Mol, he
stretches out his hand toward the plain
and says with prodigious pride, "My
countryr'

the translation of this promise, for the
idea of regarding these pens as cham
bers was not less ludicrous than the air
of pride with which Don Lopez be-
slowed the privilege of using 'em upon
us.
Don Lopez left us, promising to send
a maid with the necessary appointments
for Moll's toilet.
"a plague of all this fneryp' growled
Dawson. How long may it be, think
you, senior, ere we can quit this palace
and get to one of those posadas you
promised us?"
Don Sanchez hunched his shoulders
for reply and turned away to hide his
modification. And now girl comes up
with a crock of water ON her head, a
broken comb in her hand and a ragged
cloth ON her arm that looked as if it
had never been washed since it left the
loom and sets them down ON bench,
with a grin at Moll, but she, though
not overnice, turns away with a pout
of disgust, and then we 60 to get a breath
of fresh air to hole in the wall on the
windward side, where we stand all
dumb With disappointment and dread
until we are called down to dinner But
before going down Don Sanchez warns
rs to stand on our best behavior, as
these Spaniards, for all their rude SEEM
ing, were Of a particularly punctilous,
ticklish disposition, and that we might
come badly out of this business if we
happened to displease them.
81 cannot see reason in that, senior, {"
says Dawson, 'for the less we please
'em the sooner they are likely to send
us hence, and so the better for u.s.
Gas You please" replies the don,
"but my warning is to our advantage. s"
Down we go, and there stands Don
Lopez with a dozen choice friends, all
the raggedest Ndirty villains in the
world, and they saluting us we return
their civility with very fair pretense
and take the seats offered us-they
standing until we are set. Then they sit
down, and each man Tugs ont a knife
from his waistcloth. The caldron,
filed with mess of kid stewed in a
multitude Of onions, is fetched from
the fire, and being set upon smooth
board is slid down the table to our host,
who, after picking out some tidbits for
us, serves himself, and so slides it back,
each man in turn picking out a morsel
on the end of his knife.
Bearing in mind Don Sanchez S warn
ing, we do our best to eat of this dish,
but, heaven knows, with little relish,
and mighty glad when the caldron is
