Builds Palatiai Residence.

One of Rolo's first steps was to
build himself a palatial residence on
the place and then actively proceeded
TO start various civilizations. ms
residence was furnished in princel9
way: the wine room was stocked WIFE
the best OF liquors. among whict
charnpaign was common drink AND
frequently ne invited his friends to
spend week with him after Which
this wine-room had to be re-stocked
He continued TO increase his credit
in this city and accordingly continued
10 improve his farm. He spent a part
OF the week here and part of the
week there At the gambling places
attended by the SWEETEST people. Bolo
was always seen to be the most Tor
tunate. 1t has always been remarked
that at gambling he won large sums
Of money in Costa, Rica altho in the
same easy way in which he made
money he spent 1t.
At that time NJ. Aubry's grand opera
troupe. especially contracted by the
government for the Inauguration Of the
National theater in this city arrived
here. From the arrival Of the troupe,
Bolo made many fEends among its
members especially among the ac-
tresses who were paid every attention
and frequently invited by him to par
ties and picniCs which he especially
organized. Bodo made himself famous
for the costly gifts and presents which
he gave many Of the actresses.
On the day Of the inauguration. Bolo,
attired in a stylish and perfect fitting
dress suit, surrounded by his friends
and beaming in smiles, occupied one
Of the most prominent boxes at the
theater.
Faust" was the opera sung the night
OF the inauguration and it was grand
success for all the members Of Aubry's
troupe. 1t was also on that eventful
night that Bolo broke all his previous
records at stately supper which he
gave at a hotel IN honor Of the prnci-
pal players.
Presents Beautiful Actress.
Frequently, when circumstances
would permit. Bolo invited the mem
bers Of the company to go to his farm
and there would entertain them in
such sumptuous fashion that people
who attended those outings still say
that there has never been anybody ir
| Costa Rica who could entertain as he
| did on those occasions. For these out
| ings he took orchestras from Carriage
or San Jose. In the meantime. Bolo's
credit and good luck were rapidly de.
crcasing.
| In spite of this fact, upon the arrv'
| al Of Mademoiselle LardinOis, a noted
and beautiful French actress who was
| brought to reinforce the company
Bolo became infatuated with her, gave
her many valuable pieces OF ]ewelr!
and continued his life as lunatic ant
spendthrift
1t appears that Mile. Lardnois, il
! her turn. also became infatuated will
Bolo and that they spent together
season of luxury and pleasure.
The date for the departure of tn
opera troupe was rapidly approaching
and as several Of Bolos creditors Wer
becoming exigent and uneasy he de
cided to depart with the troupe an
informed his creditors that he wa
taking trip to FRANCE in order t
make certain arrangements with tn
firms he represented. Bolo's excus
quieted the creditors. much more
when he left behind his princely es
tate to which an absurd value wa
wrongly attached by all. 1t may her
be remarked that as Bolo never pal
for this property it's previous owne
had to take it back soon after his de
parture.
Bolo departed but it seems that h
left Mile. Lardinois in Colon, Panami
and took south bound steamer, Will
the beautiful actress, penniless an
heartbroken, returned to France.
