I asked the majordomo to take us through the rooms on the lower floor, which he did.

DON ANDRES WANTS A MAJORDOMO IX.

A Mexican majordomo licked me into shape when I was sweet sixteen.

CHAPTER VIII DON ANDRES WANTS A MAJORDOMO "Señor, those things which you desired that I should bring, I have brought.

Did her father resent "My majordomo," the don continued, just in time to hold back Dade's hasty assurance that they would leave immediately, "my majordomo does not please me.

Did her father resent "My majordomo," the don continued, just in time to hold back Dade's hasty assurance that they would leave immediately, "my majordomo does not please me.

Perhaps in you I recognize simply the qualities which I desire my majordomo to possess.

I shall be greatly pleased when you tell me that you will be my majordomo; more than ever one needs a man of intelligence and tact" "And are none of our own people tactful or intelligent, Don Andres Picardo?" demanded Manuel, having overheard the last sentence or two from the doorway.

Would the patron have a majordomo who knows nothing of rodeos, nothing of the cattle" "You're mistaken there, Manuel," Dade broke in calmly.

"Whether I become majordomo or not, I know cattle.

"And the patron will have a gringo for majordomo?"

"Don Andres wants to make me his majordomo.

"And it isn't as if he were stuck for a majordomo.

He opened his heart, one night when we were alone together, and told me that when Carlos Pacorra wentand Manuel said the patron would not keep him long, for his insolencehe, Manuel, would be majordomo.

It is my wish to live in harmony with all men; my choice of a majordomo should bear witness that I look upon Americanos with a friendly eye.

"Already I find that I have done well to choose an Americano for my majordomo," Don Andres observed, a smile in his eyes.

" Valencia, a little later, met the new majordomo and repeated what Diego had said; and Dade, catching a little of the uneasiness and yet not wanting to frighten the girl's father with the tale, made it his immediate business to find Jack and tell him that Teresita had ridden away alone upon a horse that neither Diego nor Valencia considered safe.

His majordomo he would see, as speedily as was convenient to a man as full of ranch business as Dade Hunter found himself.

The don had already fallen into the habit of presenting his orders under the guise of ideas that needed the confirmation of the majordomo, before they became definite plans; and it speaks much for those two that neither of them suspected that it was so.

I know you aren't stuck up over being majordomo, but all the same you're not the old Dade, whether you know it or not.

And José, sauntering afterward across the patio to the porch, met Manuel face to face and paid tribute to Don Andres' new majordomo in a single sentence.

La Laguna Seca, San Vincente, Las Uvas sent their quota of vaqueros, each headed by a majordomo and accompanied by embaladors with the camp equipment and supplies packed upon steady-going little mustangs.

" Valencia's angry eyes questioned the unreadable ones of his majordomo; but he did not let go, and so the three stood for a moment longer.

Altogether, he was well pleased with his reception and inclined to laugh at the forebodings he had felt; forebodings born of the knowledge that, unless these natives of California were minded to tolerate the presence of a gringo majordomo, it would be absolutely useless for him to attempt to work with them.
