much has been written about Mexican
revolutions and how the bandits and as
ssssins held sway In former times that
it Is hard to get those old notions out
of ones head. Another thing that
helps TO keep up such Impressions is
the costumes of the Mexicaus. The tall
hats, red blankets and tight pants have
always been associated in my mind
with brigands. Now, my home is In
keeping out of dark streets and always
having my eyes open for gentlemen of
the hold-up fraternity. I keep away
from suspicious doorways and carry Q
revolver when out late. You can imaR-
inc, therefore, what shocks have re-
ceived here in turning corners at night
and suddenly encountering sinister
looking fellows dressed in Mexican
costumes with blankets over the lower
part of their faces as IL for masks. I
would forget all about what my
friends have told me and inn
agiue myself the intended victim of Q
highway robbery. I am getting over
my nervousness now, however, and can
walk through dark alley with more
of sense Of security than could In
