The Young Engineers in Mexico

CHAPTER XXIV
18/36

If you journeyed down into Mexico, expecting to buy a property at a certain figure, and if you did do it, acting in perfectly good faith, then that is enough.

I will ratify the bargain." "But that would hardly be good business," smiled Mr.Haynes.
"Business is a word that will interest me but little after I have established my rights in the world," remarked Don Luis, mildly.
The true Don Luis Montez did establish his rights.

He secured the estate built by Rabasco on the looted Montez fortune.

The money paid Rabasco for the mining property was easily recovered through the courts and turned over to the rightful Don Luis.
Then the Americans secured the property at the original figure.
Don Luis soon won the affection of his daughter, and the two were wonderfully happy together.
Rabasco, the impostor, was sentenced to twenty years of penal servitude.

On his way to begin serving his sentence he broke away from the military guard, and was shot to death.
Dr.Carlos Tisco died, of fever, within six months of the time of the real Don Luis's arrival.
