The scenery is flat and uninteresting, and the banks but poorly wooded. Our travelers were therefore glad when they arrived at Rosario. The boys were disappointed at the aspect of the town, which, although a rising place, contained under a thousand inhabitants, and looked miserably poor and squalid after Buenos Ayres. Here they were met by a gentleman to whom Mr. Thompson had introduced Mr.
"A few days after this I was painting up the Zattere near San Rosario I was making the sketch for that big Giudeeca picture the one that went to Munich that year you remember it? lot of figures around a fruit-stand, with the church on the right and the Giudeeca and Lagoon beyond and had my gondolier Marco posing some twenty feet away with his back turned toward me, when my mysterious friend walked out from a little calle tins side of the church, looked at Marco for a moment without turning his head he didn't see me and stopped at a door next to old Pietro Varni's wine-shop.
How delighted the senora will be when she sees her nephew! And yesterday, Senorita Rosario was putting the room you are to have in order. As they have never seen you, both mother and daughter think of nothing else but what Senor Don Jose is like, or is not like. The time has now come for letters to be silent and tongues to talk.
It was a wild wrestle between common sense and folly so wild that he was relieved to hear a clock strike eleven, and to know she must have sailed. The incident sobered him by showing him how near and how easily he could come to a certain form of madness. After that he worked harder than ever, and in the course of time got his appointment at Rosario.
I had to stop you!" He attempted no denial of what he was about to do. "How did you know? Did Rosario tell you?" he asked curtly. "No no! I found out just by chance." "What chance?" He was plainly disconcerted that she had come to interfere, and as plainly eager to punish the person who had disclosed to her this thing, which he would have liked to do quietly, without her knowledge.
You tote enough with you to start a store, boys." "How did you find your way in?" growled Buck. "Jest drifted in on our automobiles and airships," Bob told him airily, as he unbuckled the revolver belt and handed it to one of his friends. The outlaws were bound, after which Rosario cooked the posse a dinner.
I became seriously alarmed. I did not care to reveal my fears to the family, for I felt myself responsible for Chu Chu.

He answered her with a little shrug of the shoulders and, leaning towards her, spoke a few words in some tongue which Arnold did not at once recognize. She looked again over her shoulder at Rosario and her face clouded. She replied in the same tongue. Arnold would have moved away, but she detained him.
The wire cost little more at Rosario than it would have done in England, and the chief trouble was bringing the posts, which were made of algaroba wood, from the town. This wood grows abundantly upon the upper river, and is there cut down and floated in great rafts down to Rosario. It is a tough wood, which splits readily, and is therefore admirably suited for posts.
