A long, dramatic passage chronicles Nellie and her mother facing poverty and a life altered by desperate work. It shifts to a grim portrait of the Texas gaucho, detailing his lawless behavior, brutality, and spread from Texas to New Mexico and Arizona, portraying him as a rising threat.
A feature on the gaucho as a South American figure of myth and menace. It describes the gaucho as a cattle herder in pampas culture, his harsh lifestyle, tools, and brutal acts, and notes historical revolts and raids under leaders like Quiroga and Rosas, warning that rapid railway growth and immigration did not end the threat.
A satirical account explains metallic blue flies that infest metalwork and furniture. The insect builds clay tombs inside keyholes and holes, using spiders’ bodies and crushed eyes, sealing openings with clay and whitewash. A determined effort is needed to remove these clay homes.
