I fancy he will say that he is willing to go with us and help us as far as he can, but that although he will do his best he cannot promise that he will be able to point out, with anything like certainty, the position of any of the old mines." Next day they called on Senor Pasquez, who received them very cordially.
"I don't think we shall find him here; for Barnett said that he lived in the village of Miraflores, five miles away on the north, and that if he is not there, Senor Pasquez, to whom I have a letter, will be likely to tell me where he is to be found, for he is often employed by him. However, I am as anxious as you to see him.
We know no one here except Senor Pasquez; and although he has been very civil and has begged us to consider his house as our own, he is of course busy during the day, and one can't do above a certain amount of walking about the streets. So by all means let us start to-morrow morning.
It was well that they did so, for on returning late one evening from Senor Pasquez, four men suddenly sprang out upon them. They were on their guard, and their arms went up in an instant, and two shots were fired. As the pistols were almost touching the men's heads when the trigger was pulled, both the assailants dropped dead, and the others at once took to their heels.
On the following evening after dark Harry and his brother were returning from the house of Senor Pasquez. "It is a pleasant house," Harry said; "the girls are pretty and nice, they play and sing well, and are really charming.

"No money, senor, but we might lose everything else, except perhaps the mules, which they could not use in the mountains.
