but cordial, and he answered my que

and few days later expressed my
self to friend of the don. He couldn't
see through 1t, but said he would find
out why things were thus. In a couple
Of weeks he came to me and said:
"Senor, 1 know why Don Estanso
gave you such coldness."
"Well?" ..

improved that chance and did beat
him."
"And Is that why he is down on

"Ah, no. When your conpatriot had
been beaten he went to the courts. He
said 1t was a swindle. He called for
Justice"
"And did he get it?"
Not at all; but what did he do? In
stead Of leaving the case to the Judge,
whom my friend could have brlbed for
$4,000, he demanded jury, and 1t cost
my friend four times that sum to keep
what he had swindled. 1t was very
bad policy-very bad. 1t gives my
countrymen the idea that you will not

At the time, earlier than this, when
criminals were confined at Newgate and

by savage robs and were frequently
