CHAPTER !.
An Error Rectified.

An Error Rectlfleo.
Pedro, the mestizo, having lighted
the wax tapers in the massive candle
sticks, having placed bottle and glasses
upon the great mahogany table, to-
bacco and papers upon the small ma
hogany table, withdrew silently, as
was his way, swiftly, as was his train
ing.
His old master, Senior don Antonio
de la Guerra, looking as genuinely an
tique in his old-fashioned black coat.
small, high-heeled boots and curled
white hair and mustache as any ar
ticle of the antique furniture in the
vast drawing room of the hacienda,
turned his lively black eyes upon his
guest.
"You will forgive the rudeness Of
an old man, Senior Dempton," he said
softly, his English perfect, his utter
ance still the honeyed speech of Cas-
tile, "but may I ask you to understand
that I know nothing of what you
Americanos call business? And that
I have no wish to learn? That is why
I place these matters in the hands of
an attorney" He bowed after the way
of the old school, and ended, smiling,
Gin the hands of a thoroughly compe-
tent attorney, senor."
Dempton, a little man with a rest
less, nervous manner and eyes like a

mr5at and thanked his patron, looking
pleased on the whole.
"This is a very important matter,
Mr.. de la Guerra" he offered, a trife
hesitantly and with keen eyes upon
his host.
ITO be sure" the old man cut in
impatiently, though with no lessening
Of the courtesy Of his speech. "a will
is always important"
He leaned forward, poured himself
a glass Of the red southern wine, lift
ed it so that the still candle flames
shone in it brightly, and drank slowly.
Already Dempton had been asked to
drink, as he was always asked when
he came to the Rancho de la Guerra !;
already he had refused, as he always
refused.
The old man set down his glass and
took tobacco and fine white paper from
the tray upon the smaller table, his
steady, slim white hands making the
cigarette swiftly.
"You say, Senior Dempton," he said
when he had lighted a paper lighter
at the nearest candlestick, "that you

hand into his breast pocket. IF you
will read it and sign it, sir-if we can
get the matter settled right away, de-
stroying the original documents"
"The details, Senior Dempton, I
trust I may leave with you" De la
Guerra waved a white hand gracefully.
"You have attended to my business for
me for seventeen years now, and I
have never found cause for criticism"
"You do not even care to have me
go into. detail concerning the flaw
which I allowed to creep in?
Dempton had leaned forward a little
in his chair, his eager eyes upon the
others. De la Guerra laughed softly
and shook his head.
"You would force me to appear stu
pid." He put his hand upon the bell
cord hanging from the edge of the
big table and a bell tinkled from be-
yond the door. "Let me have the pa
pers you wish me to sign"
Pedro brought pen and ink, retreat
ed upon another errand, and once
more returned, bringing with him two
of the other servants about. the great
adobe house to witness the signature.
The old mar looked at the new will
carelessly and signed carelessly, ask
ing merely if the will were in all es-
sentials the same as the original one.
The servants withdrew with their
masters thanks and loose silver, and

"But," cried De la Guerra, "you are

you would not think of putting my
hospitality so to shame! You must
