been more polite than they were to one

Isweetly to Garcia, and remarked that,
|inasmuch as Garcia had revoked, or done
something equivalent to revoking, he was
beaten, and must consider himself out of
the game.
II never in all my life saw a man pull
his gun quicker than Garcia pulled his,
but quick as he was, he had got in only
one shot when all the other three presi-
dents were on their feet and blazing

last over four Of five minutes, and by

They saw the force of what said and
concluded to keep the peace. Each man
gave the other dignified salute, but

when the coffee was brought in, and
we were all as sociable as il none Of US
had ever heard of politics, got up and
said: Gentlemen! l have asked you to
meet together in order to settle your diff
ferences, and enable me to find out which
president my government ought to rec
ognize. You can't help seeing that this
country is too small to furnish decent
living for four presidents. You'll have

You left, and it's a mere matter Of
chance which one that will be. You're
Iplaying a game in which you stake your
lives against the presidency, and. though
j can't say what you value your lives at,
it's my opinion that the stakes are far
too high.
Now | propose that you settle this
business by friendly game Of cards.
u don't know your Spanish games. but
you can easily choose some game in
which each man that is beaten goes
out and leaves the others to play. The
man who finally wins is to take thts
presidency. and the others are to agree
to support him for. say. two years. at

"My little plan for settling the pres

ined the wounded men, and he told ME
that they would all recover, though they
would probably have to remain in the
hospital for several weeks. He said that
the government would be carried on in
the name of Pres. Almonte, the chap
who had occupied the presidential man
sion, until such time as all the four
laimants were discharged from the hos
pital.
" i shall take the best of care Of them
and maintain a strict neutrality said
the doctor, 'and / shall recommend you
to do the same hereafter. You've tried

that each man was bribing the doctor

sort of result by playing game OF
cards that you will by fighting and
raising Cain fer the next year or two,
and the men who lose will only lose
fbe:r expectations of being president,
instead of losing both their expectations
and their lives. Now, gentlemen, mere
are the cards. Will you take my advice
and settle your difference Ike Chrls-
tians. or will you fight like barbarlahs!
wThe presidents listened to my speech
in a very respectful way, and when IL
was ended, old Almonte, who, as 1 al
forwards learned, was the biggest cara
sharp in Torrizonia, said that ne cor
daily agreed with all his excellency
the u. S. minister, had said, and that ne
was quite ready to play the other three
gentlemen for the presidency. TheNother
three didn't seem very anxious to play,
but first one of them, and then another
said that while he had perfect contl-
dence in the Justice of his claim, he
would adopt my proposal, feeling GER
tain that the blessed Virgin would see
him through all right. The upshot was
that they all sat down to some unearthiy
Spanish American sort of game that
neyer. pretended to understand, and pres
emily they were playing as quietly as you
and me would play if we had niue
game of draw on hand with unlimited
stakes, and a straight flush barrel.
