Author Description

Excerpt from Stories by American Authors, Vol. 10 Mitras rising beyond, and a ame of red and gold above the Sierra left when the sun went down, when Pancha's Tonging eyes rested once more on all these dear sights of home, she buried her little face in tz'o Tadeo's pudgy shoulder and fairly sobbed for joy. Many a person, though, coming a stranger and with a stranger's prejudices into this gentle, Iovely Mexican land, would have thought Pancha's love of home quite incomprehensible; for her home, the house in which she dwelt, was not lovely to eyes brought up with a rigorous faith in right angles and the monotonous regularity of American city walls. In point of fact, persons of this sort might have held - and, after their light, with' some show of justice - that Pancha's home was not a house at all.
