The narrow stairway that led to the upper floor was in good condition, and, when Ned mounted it, he saw rows of narrow little cell-like rooms in which the nuns had slept. All were bleak and bare, but, from a broken window at the end of the corridor, he looked out upon the San Antonio and the forests of oak and pecan. He could barely see the river, the night had grown so dark.
She had got into the safest situation possible, under the circumstances, and she seemed to know it. She therefore continued to hang on the lowest limb of the pecan so near its extremity, that the branch bent under her weight.

This vessel is of a dark brownish color, and is but slightly polished. A duplicate specimen of inferior size and finish has recently been added to the National Museum from a grave at Pecan Point. Similar to the preceding in general appearance are a number of bowls or deep pans, embellished with the heads of animals. The head has a decided resemblance to that of a female deer or fawn.
The two Americans sauntered around for some distance, and on their return to the cabin found Tiburcio enjoying his siesta under a near-by pecan tree. Their horses refreshed and rested, they resaddled, crossing the stream, intending to return to the ranchito by evening.

Various meals are made from nuts and made into food for the sick. This does no harm, nor does it do any special good. These meals contain more or less starch and the action of starches is much the same, no matter what the source. Please remember that there are no health foods.

Cover the bottom of your salad bowl with crisp lettuce leaves, then put over the bananas, allowing one banana to each two persons.
