Say nothing-and you won't get

Pedro handed over his % re-
naming pesos.
"It's-it's all I've got"
"Adios!"
! In less time than it takes to tell
the horSemen were gone through
a mountain gap and down a hid.
den trail.
Heavy-hearted Pedro started his
car again. What miserable star
had he been born under to war
rant such a fate? Carmenita ready
to eat out Of his hand-and he
with no money to buy the food!
Tell her of the robbery? And
have her know that Is pesos was
all he had? No! No! No! Go
back? No! Yes! He had to-she
was waiting for the puppy. His
thoughts were as treacherouS as
the road.
10000 heeee-heeee- roooo!"
The honk of the upcoming car
reached his ears before the big
machine driven by a lone man
rounded the curve and came
into view. Pedro was experienced
enough as a guide to know an
American tourist when he saw one.
Better warn him Of the bandits
ahead, He drew into one of the
mountain inches designed for
turn-outs and signaled the Ameri-
can. He told the goggle-eyed tour
ist of the bandits, warned him,
and even explained:
ct wouldn't have minded so
much, but that was all had to
entertain a certain grill"
Gosh! That's a tough break"
the American Sympathized, and
with that they parted.
He reached the fort. He got the
puppy. He tied it in his car. Then
he started the long journey back
to La Mesa.
And anyone who can remember
when he was II, and problems
were really terribly, heartbreak-
lngly serious, knows how downcaSt
pennileSs Pedro was as he chugged
along the uproad. Gosh!
FORTUNE SMILES
He met the American again.
This time it was the smiling tour
list who waited in the mountain
niche.
Say, I been thinkin'," the tour
ist greeted him THAT Mex money
Of yours amounts to just about SIS
in my money-and that don't
mean much to me. I remember
when was young once"
In spite of his protests, Pedro,
heart going up, clutched the Is
pesos the American showed at him.
After all, he was used to taking
tips. Money meant nothing to
these Americans. And to him
all! It meant Carmenita-and
love-and everything!
The tourist car started down.
Pedro, gasping at the turn Of
events, continued to climb.
Before he reached the top he
could see gesticulating tourists of
La Mesa trudging down the road.
What had happened? They began
explaining before he reached them.
did you meet the American?
He robbed us of every cent-every
cent! He emptied the gasoline
tanks on our cars. Senior Pedro!
It is you who can save us. Go for
the police in your carve haven't
a cent! Oh, poor Pedro! Did he
rob you, too?"
So Pedro started down the noun
tain again, feeling pretty good
after all. For the vacationistS be-
hind him hadn't a cent. The
echoes of his whistling played tag
through the valleys.
