This unsatisfactory condition of affairs gave promise of enduring indefinitely, until President Madero in Mexico City, whose Government had to bear the financial brunt of it all, suddenly lost his patience and recalled Huerta to the capital, leaving the command in General Rabago's hands.
I am sure, however, that owing to the political and military upheaval it never stopped the slaughter of sheep. In such easy mountains as those of Lower California, it is a simple matter to exterminate quickly all the mountain sheep that they possess. The time for President Madero and his cabinet to inaugurate serious protective measures has fully arrived.
"Well," with a shrug, "Diaz cannot cannot control. Madero, he cannot control better dan Diaz. Los Americanos must go in." It is a bit of a surprise to find in this little Pecos Town of adobe huts set down higgledy-piggledy a tiny stone church with stained glass windows, a little gem in a wilderness.
One picturesque legend insisted that the American oil interests looked with jealous hostility upon the great favours shown by the Diaz Administration to Lord Cowdray's company, and that they had instigated the Madero revolution in order to put in power politicians who would be more friendly to themselves.
Merrill, with a tinge of impatience, "don't repeat all the old gossips' tales about Madero. Why, if one believed half of them, he would be endowed with hoofs and horns, not to mention a tail with a spike on the end. If either you or Redman or Jennings wishes to leave the mine, you may. I'll write you a check for the amount I owe you now."
The general idea that the Mexicans would not fight, which Americans obtained during this period, was obtained because they did not care to in the majority of cases. It was rumored in many places at that time that General Huerta was about to turn against the Madero Government. Madero, suspecting his loyalty, ordered him back to Mexico City.
He tried something once and didn't make it work." "Yes, and he got a sore foot, too! He's out here for more." Answering the hail from the Fortuna, Madero, for it was he, asked to be taken aboard. He seemed weak and unable to help himself. When his condition became apparent the boys were all sympathy. They quickly helped him over the rail and then took his boat in tow.
"Now what do you think of that?" "That's his viewpoint," replied Don. "He thinks of the men who overthrew President Madero as rebels." By this time they were near enough the house for Billie to smell the aroma of the coffee and he quickened his pace. "I'll talk politics after I've sampled the breakfast," he declared. "If the breakfast is good, I'll join the band."
The speedy outcome of these transactions was the assassination of President Madero and the seizure of the Presidency by General Huerta. At almost any other time this change in the Mexican succession would have caused only a momentary disturbance.
Madero won, but he was betrayed. His betrayer now seeks to rule the republic, but he can never do it. He must be overthrown." The aged man became greatly excited and the physician cautioned him to be careful. In a few minutes he became more peaceful and continued: "I have always been a great friend of the Americans. I admired their integrity and their government.
