Afterward I visited San Mateo and Burlingame, with the same object in view. At the former place the young pastor of the Methodist Episcopal church, Rev. C. B. Sylvester, was just commencing a series of revival meetings. Upon learning my errand to San Mateo, he and his wife urged my cooperation in the evening services, and to this end invited me to remain under their roof.
Fortunato answered him with the utmost coolness: "Your gun is empty, and there are no more cartridges in your belt." "I have my stiletto." "But can you run as fast as I can?" He gave a leap and put himself out of reach. "You are not the son of Mateo Falcone! Will you then let me be captured before your house?" The child appeared moved.

Believers in this theory looked upon legislation which regulated business as a species of meddling or interference.
"My orders from Mateo, our new chief whose beauty doubtless impressed you," he replied, with a grin, "are to conduct you down to the coast and deliver you over to his very good friend Manuel Garcia, the pirate, whose schooner Tiburon you and your crew punished so severely when according to your own admission, mind you engaged her some little time ago.
