And Gabriel held to his agreement until he found | out that Pedro had no legal,right to take his money every day he' brousht it home from the packing house an: other places where he obtained em ployment. After Gabriel had turned over about $500 the process became irksome, he said. to spend himself after he had earned it The three kiddies wanted pennies for candy, and Mrs. Gabriel had be- come Americanized enough to be aware of the seasonable changes in styles.
