Dick, Lacy and Owens had taught them many things they had been entirely ignorant of; and as they were an intelligent race, they were constantly on the lookout to learn something new.
Leo now appeared to be more contented than he had at any time since he came to the land of mystery.
He soon got used to the mode of living in the country of the Naztecs, and, like his predecessors, soon acquired their language.
There was only one thing that bothered him, save his desire to get to his native heath once more, and that was the undying love Azurma bore him.
He liked the girl well enough; but, unlike Dick, he did not allow himself to become “gone” on any of the beauties of the strange land.
But duty told him that he ought to marry the girl, for she was growing thinner every day, and all on account of him.
He concluded to wed her, and make the best of it, and one day, about three weeks after his advent into the Naztec country, Leo and Azurma were made man and wife according to the established rules of the country.
There never was a happier bride in the whole world than Azurma; and from that time until the day of her death Leo never regretted marrying her.
