CHAPTER VII.
THE INSULT TO THE FLAG.
A week later, or, to be more exact, on April 10, 1914, the Broncho Rider Boys and their friend Pedro were back in the City of Mexico. During the two weeks they had been at Pachuca, many changes had taken place and on the morning in question they had just finished their coffee in the breakfast room when Guadalupe, Pedro's sister, brought in the morning paper.
"What's the news?" asked Adrian.
Guadalupe glanced at the paper and hid it behind her back without making any reply.
"Why, Sister!" exclaimed Pedro with all the dignity of his sixteen years. "How can you be so rude?"
"She's only joking," laughed Billie, who was always found on Guadalupe's side when any argument took place. "Come, tell us! What is it?"
Guadalupe shook her head.
"Oh, I can't," she replied in a pained voice.
