There was a wall OF cursing as the train
pulled out and the three objurgated the de-
parting Americana. The latter leaned his
head out of he window, and just at the end
of the station platform. his gaze encoun-
tered the smiles Of Ramon.
MANY thanks, sir" said the head OF the
house OF Galera, with the dropping of the
right hand that indicates always gratitude.
"A pleasant trip"
And apparently all the argument that the
Capataz and Jose can put up from time to
time between the two trains in and the two
trains out of Cadiz every day hut Sunday
isn't likely 10 affect Ramon much. The
Americana never will know, because An

The Americano's stay heightened from
a day to a week. and everywhere that
he travelled in the streets he met Jose
Lopez, caballero, who smiled and smiled
and revealed the fact that dentistry in
southern Spain is not a profitable occupa-
ton. And ever and anon FL Capataz
crossed the path of the invader and men,
toned that the trunk still was in safe keep

On the day of departure from the hotel,
il may be mentioned in passing, three or
our brand new helpers appeared suddenly
in the hotel to help the Americana with
minor tribes in his packing. Also two
OF the walters got al idea hat his week
in the hotel had run down his system 30
that he was unable to carry his comb and
brushes from the bureau to the bed, where
he wAs loading his suit case. Further

1t was a laborious feat. because as any
one knows a trunk after being a week in

With parade and display the trunk was
brought to rest and was ready for checking.
The Americana bought his railroad ticket
and handed 10 to Ramon to get the trunk
checked. Again the Capataa and Jose
helped. The process of departure was
almost completed but there still remained
a few things to be done.
