So the work went on, with four policemen to each woman, until our full number was finally secured and the work completed.
Three years ago, on my return from Guatemala, I met in this city an English doctor named Castle, who has lived here for many years--a man of scientific tastes and interests, who has employed his leisure in studying the botany, zoology, and indians of the district.

He is well-informed, and one of the few persons acquainted with the Juaves.

I counted on his help in approaching that curious and little-known tribe.
The doctor's house is full of pets; eight different kinds of parrots, a red and yellow macaw, a brilliant-billed, dark-plumaged toucan, an angora goat, a raccoon, dogs and cats, are a part of the happy family that prowls at large in his house.

A little creature, an indian, no more than eight years old, has adopted the doctor for her father.

She had come to him as a patient for a trouble by no means uncommon here--night-blindness; in caring for her, he gained the little creature's heart, and she will hardly hear of leaving him to return home.
