I snatched the dagger, which was still wet with Pedro's blood, from his belt, and hurried almost frantic to the Hotel de las Diligencias. Mrs.
But Pedro's curiosity for the moment was fully satisfied, and, without making any reply, except to mutter something about American bulls under his breath, he retreated to his dish washing. "Sarved him right," declared Ham emphatically, as all again resumed their examination of the skin map. When the map had been sufficiently examined, Thure again retired into Mrs.
