“‘Pardon me, sir, but are you not Governor of Chihuahua? You do not know me?’ “‘Yes,’ I replied, without a moment’s reflection: ‘You are the “Plunger from Kansas.”’ “He turned very white and shook like an aspen leaf. “‘It is retribution,’ he exclaimed, ‘and it came after death. O God, is there no peace for me in this life or any future life? Am I to be an outcast and a wanderer as I was in my second physical state, because of the small offence I committed?
