SEÑOR GOMEZ blazed with the sudden anger of the Latin races when he heard of the plight of his old friend and partner Roving Pat.
"That dog Miguel Mollendo is not fit to live," he cried. "Murder Pat Heneky! I loved the man, the kindest, dearest companion, more like a brother to me. I have mourned him as dead, and now, to hear that he is alive makes my heart leap with joy. Alive, but in danger of death through the villainy of that sly sneaking traitor! You did well, señor, to pursue me. My business, it is nothing. I would fly from the ends of the earth to save my friend. But shall we be in time? Even with your wonderful machine can we reach La Paz before the fatal moment? I am distracted, torn with anxiety and fear."
