NOT A SQUARE DEAL.

In looking up some mining claims
in Mexico | found myself making in
quiries of native named Don Estan-
so. His greeting was anything but
cordial, and he answered my queries
in a way that gave me no informal
lion. | was rather surprised at this
and a few days later expresses myself
so to a friend of the don He could
not see through it, but said he would
find out why things were thus. In a
couple of weeks he came to me and
said:
Senior, | know why Don Estanso
gave you such coldness."
"Wel?"
"A year ago he was in the mine
business with one of the young coun-
trymen At that time he was in love
with Americans. Together they did
business-much business. 1t was
pleasant between them. They we're
like sisters. If one said SO, then the
other said so. Nothing was the trou
bic for al ong, long, time"
And then there was trouble?'
There was. Ny good and sincere
friend, Don Estanso he saw his
chance"
Chance for what?"
ITO beat the American out OF thou
sands of dolIars-many thousands.
He improved that chance and did beat
him"
and is that why he is down on
Americans now?'
"Ah, no. When your compatriot
had been beaten he went to the
courts. He said it was swindle. He
called for justive."
"And did he get it,"
Not at all; but what did he do?
Instead of leaving the case to the
Judge. whom my friend could have
bribed for $4,000, he demanded
jury, and it cost my friend four
times that sum to keep what he had
swindleu. It was a bad policy-very
bad 1t gives my countrymen the idea
that you will not give us what you
call a square deal Baltimore Amerf
can.

line of which played a great bar of
white light from the searchlight on

A little puff of smoke shot up from

the men pulled desperately, glad Of
the sudden release of the tension, the

ped their noses eagerly into the cool
water that surged up in front of
them. Each coxswain with furrowed
forehead, yelled sharply to his men

get the greatest power with the least

Judged by the start, 1t was any
