And
then
along
came
Mr.
Miraflores
and
his
true-love
with
the
treasury
in
a
valise
,
and
went
into
the
hotel
.
Next
you
hove
in
sight
,
and
held
a
pow-wow
with
the
tonsorial
artist
who
insisted
upon
talking
shop
after
hours
.
I
tried
to
slumber
again
;
but
once
more
my
rest
was
disturbed
--
this
time
by
the
noise
of
the
popgun
that
went
off
upstairs
.
Then
that
valise
came
crashing
down
into
an
orange
tree
just
above
my
head
;
and
I
arose
from
my
couch
,
not
knowing
when
it
might
begin
to
rain
Saratoga
trunks
.
When
the
army
and
the
constabulary
began
to
arrive
,
with
their
medals
and
decorations
hastily
pinned
to
their
pajamas
,
and
their
snickersnees
drawn
,
I
crawled
into
the
welcome
shadow
of
a
banana
plant
.
I
remained
there
for
an
hour
,
by
which
time
the
excitement
and
the
people
had
cleared
away
.
And
then
,
my
dear
Goodwin
--
excuse
me
--
I
saw
you
sneak
back
and
pluck
that
ripe
and
juicy
valise
from
the
orange
tree
.
I
followed
you
,
and
saw
you
take
it
to
your
own
house
.
A
hundred-thousand-dollar
crop
from
one
orange
tree
in
a
season
about
breaks
the
record
of
the
fruit-growing
industry
.
"
Being
a
gentleman
at
that
time
,
of
course
,
I
never
mentioned
the
incident
to
anyone
.
But
this
morning
I
was
kicked
out
of
a
saloon
,
my
code
of
honour
is
all
out
at
the
elbows
,
and
I
'd
sell
my
mother
's
prayer-book
for
three
fingers
of
aguardiente
.
I
'm
not
putting
on
the
screws
hard
.
It
ought
to
be
worth
a
thousand
to
you
for
me
to
have
slept
on
that
cot
through
the
whole
business
without
waking
up
and
seeing
anything
.
"
Goodwin
opened
two
more
letters
,
and
made
memoranda
in
pencil
on
them
.
Then
he
called
"
Manuel
!
"
to
his
secretary
,
who
came
,
spryly
.
"
The
Ariel
--
when
does
she
sail
?
"
asked
Goodwin
.
"
Señor
,
"
answered
the
youth
,
"
at
three
this
afternoon
.
She
drops
down-coast
to
Punta
Soledad
to
complete
her
cargo
of
fruit
.
From
there
she
sails
for
New
Orleans
without
delay
.
"
"
Bueno
!
"
said
Goodwin
.
"
These
letters
may
wait
yet
awhile
.
"
The
secretary
returned
to
his
cigarette
under
the
mango
tree
.
"
In
round
numbers
,
"
said
Goodwin
,
facing
Blythe
squarely
,
"
how
much
money
do
you
owe
in
this
town
,
not
including
the
sums
you
have
'
borrowed
'
from
me
?
"
