He knew that huenos dlas meant "good day; aabe, , understand; st, senor, "yes, air, and dlnero, "money." But there is a language of signs which all understand. Sim had ust come np from Garland burdened with a great pack of eatables, and a proportionate amount of drinkables, for the, traditions of his youth led him to believe that both were essential to a popular observance of the season. This evening in the cabin, after supper, Sim Belden was unusually talkative, and, forgetting or ignoring that Pedro'i comprehension of English was limited, he rattled on like one thinking aloud and wishing for no comment on what be said "It's been no end of a fine day, Pedro Just like the New Tear eves we used to bave back In the Alleghenies when I was a boy like you.
