Only once did he falter: a vagrant thought pulled him up, to feel anxiously at his cartridge belt. Smoothly, without panting, stooping in the loose lope of the Indian, he swung along. He was whistling less frequently, conserving his breath for a possible three-mile race; but his head kept turning to listen. Presently a great sigh of relief, like a sob, fluttered between his lips.
His horse, in fine fettle after the night's rest and grazing, started off on the jump, cow pony fashion. Ashton gave him his head, and the horse bore him at a steady lope down along the stream, crossing over to the other bank of the dry bed, of his own volition, when the going became too rough on the near side.
The whole army went bobbing and bounding away, some of the younger ones soaring in a spy-hop, as a matter of habit; but low skimming ahead of them all was a gorgeous black-and-white one; clean-limbed and bright-eyed, he had attracted attention in the pen, but now in the field he led the band with easy lope that put him as far ahead of them all as they were ahead of the rabble of common Dogs.
Higgins; it is now more urgent than ever that you save your bacon." "Tain't very comfortable ridin' for Mrs. Delancy," apologized Higgins, his horses in a lope. "If the marshal asks you why you didn't stop and help his deputy, just tell him that the desperado held a pistol at your head and commanded you to drive like the devil. Holy mackerel, here comes the deluge!"
Murillo, Velasquez, and Ribiera were her honored sons; in literature she was represented by Cervantes, Lope de Vega, and Calderon; while of discoverers and conquerors she sent forth Columbus, Cortez, and Pizarro. The banners of Castile and Aragon floated alike on the Pacific and the Indian Oceans.

When Lope de Vega first appeared as a dramatic writer at Madrid, the only theatres he found were two unsheltered courtyards, which depended on such companies of strolling players as occasionally visited the capital.
"Por graves, puros, castos y excelentes." In the same street where Cervantes lived and died, the great Lope de Vega passed his edifying old age. This phenomenon of incredible fecundity is one of the mysteries of that time. Few men of letters have ever won so marvellous a success in their own lives, few have been so little read after death.
Those who signed the paper were the past provincials, Javier Riquelme, former rector of San José, and Tomas de Andrade, rector of the great college and of their university; Fathers Alejo Lopez and Jaime Vestart, at present masters in theology; Ysidro Clarete and Pedro Lope.
Remembering the windlike gallop of Alcatraz, it seemed to him that the buckskin was hardly keeping to a lope as a matter of fact the cow pony was being ridden to the verge of exhaustion.
