of Spanish interpreted what the Of

understand I pointed my rife at hin
and told him to secure an ANNA
pronto for the General. That title OF
General so impressed the old fellow
that he called to a boy to bring out
a mule and such a mule; skin and
bones and 50 old that he must have
been brought to the country by the
Spanish conquerers. Anything but
walk, thought l, and while congratu-
lating myself on my good luck was
iordered by the General" to hurry up
and catch the company and he would
follow on the mule as soon as he ar
ranged his luggage and this after all
the trouble had in securing a mount.
Cursing the Lieutenant in my mind
I started, scarcely able to walk on &C.
count of my blistered feet, but had
not proceeded far until I met ma
tive wearing a good pair of sandals
to whom l proposed to exchange my
shoes for his footwear at the same
time tapping my rifle in regular high
wayman style. No need of threats as
he was delighted at the prospect of
having pair Of shoes even if slashed
in many places as none of his kin or
himself had 50 much as dreamed of
being possessors of shoes. Shoes
would give him a certain social stand
ing among his countrymen as only
the wealthy wore them. Making the
exchange we shook hands and parted
latter many "adios senors" and l ex-
perienced great relief with no cover
ing to burn my instep and toes and
marched along in much greater COM
fort. After travelling several miles I
overlook the command at place at
which they had halted to rest, but the
Lieutenant and his mule had not ar
rived which led me to think perhaps
he had met with an accident but no,
for just as we were about to resume
our march he appeared leading the old
mule.
The place where the halt was made
for rest is called Nindari, name
handed down from Astecs, Toltecs or
some other tees and translated into
English reads Between Mountain and
Lake."
I doubt if in the entire world a
lovelier, more restful spot is to be
found and in viewing it one wonders
how people enjoying its peacefulness
and beauty can be such cruel demons
in war which seems to be the chief
pastime of Nnaraguans. Lying in a
level country, surrounded by noun
tains with a lovely lake resting as it
were on it's bosom it was a spot in
which one would care to linger long
anu restfully.
But to my story. We were about
to start a my Lieutenant appeared
and ~ l was adjusting my blanket
he called me and ordered me to take
charge Of the mule upon which he left
his belongings even to his sword and !
as he started off with the company
he shouted young man you had bet-
ter not lose my duds if you know what
is good for you"

Again the probing and

feet and a stop and thus it continued
