Nearly one hundred and forty years later Brigadier Don Pedro de Rivera met them farther north, not far from Las Cruces and Doña Ana, New Mexico. To-day they are again at El Paso del Norte.

Now you understand me! Now you know what to expect from me!" "You're insane! I see madness in your eyes! Be careful that you do not bring on yourself the fate that befell Del Norte."

I thought him dead, but it must be that he escaped from the burning building on the East Side. How he escaped I cannot tell; but, as it was not Del Norte who peered through the transom, it must have been Lazaro."
