"Visiting buildings," returned Walter; "Brazil, Turkey, Hayti, Sweden, and lastly Venezuela."
"And what did you see there?"
"In Venezuela's exhibit? Christopher Columbus and General Bolivar—that is, their effigies—specimens of birds, animals, minerals, preserves, spices, coffee, vegetables, fine needlework, some manufactured goods, and—most interesting of all, we thought—the flag carried by Pizarro in his conquest of Peru."
"Pizarro? who was he? and what did he do, Uncle Wal?" asked little Elsie.
"He was a very, very bad man and did some very, very wicked deeds," replied Walter.
"Did he kill people?"
"Yes, that he did; and got killed himself at last. The Bible says, 'Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed,' and there have been a great many examples of it in the history of the world."
"Does God say that, Uncle Walter?" asked Neddie.
"Yes; God said it to Noah, shortly after he and his family came out of the ark."
