ect the
American flag," echoed Donald.

"Long may it wave!" was Adrian's sententious comment.

But it did not wave long over Vera Cruz, for the following
November, Huerta having been obliged to leave the country in the
meantime and Gen. Carranza having established himself for the
time being in the City of Mexico, the American forces were
withdrawn and the Carranza forces took possession of Vera Cruz.
Some months later Carranza was recognized by the United States,
and at this writing is establishing his government, which
promises to be a continuation of the one established by Madero.

Thus it will be seen that Santiago's work for his country was
productive of good, as are all efforts to bring liberty to the
people and to free them from the rule of a few.

Before sailing for home, the boys had the satisfaction of knowing
that the man known as Strong had been properly punished, and
that, in accordance with Santiago's dying wish, the ten thousand
pounds which he had practically given to Billie months before on
the Rio Grande, were placed to the lad's credit in the banking
house of Don Esteban.

The fate of Ambrosio, the ape which caused so much trouble, was
left in the hands of the keeper of the prison to which Strong was
sentenced. It is to be hoped that his behavior will improve.

THE END.
