There is scarcely a merchant in Berlin to whom, some time or other, you have not been of assistance in his need!"

But the Arab put up his hand. "I have not come to fight but to bargain," he said. "You have beaten me at every point of the game. Diego is dead " "Dead," cried Frank.
We were shown a small pocket manual printed in Spanish and sold in the stores and upon the streets, containing a printed code of the significance of certain flowers, a "dumb alphabet" for the fingers, and the meaning of the several motions of the ever-ready fan which, like a gaudy butterfly, flits before the face of beauty.
