What millions have been fed by the introduction of the potato plant that wild, half-poisonous native of the Chilian mountains!
"But one ought to pay decent respect to a custom sanctioned by all civilized people. There will be a talk about it. Folks may think it our fault." "I do not believe half a dozen people would notice it. It's only a custom after all. I never did like it. We will see how she feels about it." "Chilian, you make that child of as much importance as if she was a woman grown.
Not so much that as they were in fear of entering that underground retreat, teeming with superstitious traditions. In fact no Chilian could have been induced to enter there under any provocation short of death! Mr. Pearce knew this, and when he saw Jack disappear he was confident the lad was safe for awhile.
Elizabeth had proposed it should be cut short on the neck for the summer, but Miss Winn had objected. "Such a great mop! No child wears it!" Cynthia came in quietly and took her place. After her first cup of tea Elizabeth thawed a little, enough to announce that two of the Appleton children were ill, they thought with scarlet fever. Chilian expressed some sympathy.
We were not so likely, it was feared, to fall in with any of the abominable Chilian kidnappers; they would probably only attempt to carry off the brown natives from the islands on the eastern side of the Pacific. We were now, it will be understood, approaching the region inhabited by the black-skinned races.
"All is well, I hope;" in an anxious tone. "Yes; the child proved a good sailor and was much interested in everything. I was afraid she would take it hard. But she is counting on her father's coming. I don't know how you will ever console her when she learns the truth." "And he " Chilian looked intently into the captain's eyes. "I suppose the end has come before this.

"At the end of the crushing season, I think," answered Sherard coolly; "the brat will be old enough to be taken from her by then." It is a bad thing for a man to "thump" either a Chilian, or a Peruvian, or a Mexican. And Prout had "thumped" the evil-faced Chileno very badly one day for beating a native nearly to death.
SIR: Referring to your communication of the 16th inst., in which you protest against the arrest of the person alleged to be Señor Don Manuel Blanco, His Catholic Majesty's Consul at Charleston, at the instance of the Republic of Chili, and demand the release of the said person, with a suitable apology from this Government in the premises, I have the honor to inform you that the representatives of the Chilian Government allege the person in question to be one Leon Sangrado, a fugitive from justice, charged with the crimes of murder and robbery; that, before the United States Commissioner at New Orleans, the Chilian representatives have produced evidence identifying the prisoner as Leon Sangrado, which evidence has warranted the said Commissioner in rendering judgment accordingly; and that the proceedings and judgment, on review by the President of the United States, have been confirmed, and the warrant of extradition ordered.
Jack was now really alarmed about his friend, whom he believed had been waylaid and robbed. But he could not think of leaving without making a search for him. "I am going to start for De la Pama to look for him, but you may expect me back by sunset." "If you are not I shall set sail without you, for I have seen some of the Chilian spies around today."
