You do as you're told without asking the reason. Come, up you got you lazy rogues!" And he began to ust his heavy boot freely.

"Is tha where wo are?" "Certainly, senor," replied the other with a mocking how, "ant! 1 hope yoi like our town." "Oh, ho, ho!" chuckled the old man. The Spaniard turned to him. .
