She smiled, however, to-day on seeing the doctor, for Valentin had just eaten a cutlet with a good appetite, a thing which he had not done for months.

They have a little blue-nosed, sickly baby; it was born about six weeks ago, at her father's ranch, above here. She was she had no mother, the poor child "
That's a pity. . . I like a fight with robbers. . . . I am thin and sickly-looking, but I have the strength of a bull . . . . Once three robbers attacked me and what do you think?
