Although a stranger in a strange land.
Mendoza instantly made himself very
much at home. (In the afternoon of his
arrival be employed Mr. Gemini. a profes-
slonal interpreter. as secretary and :f'fjlll‘

That night Meadow and his secretary
occupied a box in a variety theater and.
the latter noticed with surprise that his

Mendoza Illllb'd lnscrutably and re-
marked:
"1 laugh at. everything. it's a harmless
habit of mine."
Later in the evening the light hearted
Mendoza omplled two quart bottles of
clmmpagno and sampled a great variety of
American mixed drinks. lie was finally
taken from under a table in tho llotul
America cafe and carried. still laughing.
to his room.
Early the next morning Mendoza reap-
posted as fresh as n daisy. Accompanied
by the faithful Hentlnl. he enterml a coupe
and was driven to the offices of August

of ii’ulnlgo dc Co. of Martina. it was for a
large amount. probably in the. neighbor
hood of i'.’h,l.loll.
Presented at Belt-much.
Of what followed Mr, Gantlnl alone of
the interested panties will talk.
According to the interpreter. the pre-«
notation of the draft was met with a tie
mund for identification by llclmont k (in. 's
chief clerk.
Mendoza was unrnllled at. this and ex
plnlncti that. anticipating the tillllculty.
liltialgo (4' Co. had written a letter iuclos.
lug his l.\lcndo/a'sl signature. and asking
that tho matter of personal idtmtiflentlon
be waived.
“I am surprised." murmured tho plaus-
iblc Mendoza. "flint the letter is not. al
ready hero. it. should have arrived by tho
stcatncr on which I came." f
As if in provitlentlol vindication of his
truthfulness, while this conversation was
still in progress the talked of letter np-
pcared. it was precisely as represented by
Mendezn and bore the seemingly genuine
signature of lilllalgo & Co.
Reaching for a pen. tho smilingnml tri-
upmhnnt Mondrwa s'wifllytraced his nann-
on a sllp of paper and handed it with n
how and nilourlsh to tin-htllldoubtful llol-

According to the interpreter. the papers
and signatures were carefully‘cxnmincd.
and Mr. Haltlo dissipated thelnst lingering
doubt of Metulozn's reliability by remark-
mg:
“Everything looks regular. lgucss it is
all right. "
The draft was then cashed and Mctnln'm
returned to tho ”titul‘Amcf’icn. For the
next two days Mendoza celebrated his
alllucncc and tho wortliyfientlntwas kept
(lflllflhllnhly a! work drawing corks and or-

Then the hilarious stranger departed.
