"I don't see what I can do for you," he said. "According to your own declaration you resisted a police officer. You'll have to take your medicine." Alfarez nodded agreement. "Quite right!" said he. "He did terrible 'avoc with my men, t'ree of which is now on the 'ospital." "But why don't they try me or let me get bail? I want to get out." "You'll be tried as soon as they get around to it."
"I am glad there is a 'but." "It isn't settled, by any means. The successful candidate will need the support of our government." "I suppose the Alfarez family is one of the first settlers Mayflower stock?" "Oh, worse than that. The name runs back to Balboa's time. General Alfarez is very rich, and very proud of his ancestry. That is one thing that makes him so strong with the people."

Into the office behind them came Ramon Alfarez and two Panamanian policemen, one evidently a sergeant. "Eh, there you are!" Alfarez cried, as he caught sight of Kirk. Then he said something in Spanish to the sergeant, who advanced and laid hands upon the American.
"Carraho!" came from behind him, and he turned to behold Alfarez, livid of face and with shaking hand, fling a handful of similar coupons after the broken cane. Without another word or a glance behind him, the Panamanian made off across the Plaza, barely in time to, escape the crowd that surged around the two he had quitted.

I discovered it quite by accident while Mr. Cortlandt was down-town. Oh, this is serious, and I'm furious. ... That will do no good; I have reasons for preferring to handle it myself. ... Thank you for the compliment.
But now, since he saw that the jackanapes had the audacity to love Gertrudis, his feeling became intense. The girl, of course, was fully alive to the situation, and, although she evidently enjoyed it, she did her best to stand between the two men. As for Alfarez, he was quick to feel the sudden fierce hostility he had aroused, and it seemed to make him nervous.
He returned a very polite answer to Don Alfarez, promising an investigation immediately upon the arrival of the schooner, and to send a vessel with the result of the said investigation. 'This is a pretty business, said the admiral to his secretary. 'Young madcap! I sent him to look after a pirate, and he goes after the governor's daughter! By the Lord Harry, Mr.

"Ramon Alfarez heard that same report, and very courteously invited me to wait a few minutes while he killed me.
