The Basutos, he found, were more favourably inclined to the Boer cause than ever before. "General De la Rey," continued General de Wet, "like myself, does not quite know what task he has to perform here, but he thinks with me that the duty of making reports belongs to the delegates. However, he feels bound to state that in his divisions there is a great scarcity of everything.
They looked across the woman's shoulder, and from that moment she was to stand between, though what there could be in common between the man in the U. S. service and the common rider from Last's was not apparent. El Rey was eager for flight and by the time Tharon's foot was in the stirrup he was up on his hind feet, fore feet beating the air, silver mane like a flying cloud.
They arranged to meet at luncheon the following day and quickly separated. Miss Mallory was now aware that her avenues of action would be closed, if it were noted that she had more than a casual interest in Andrew Bedient. The latter saw nothing further of Señor Rey for two days, and did not catch even a second glimpse of Jim Framtree.
He's all right." "So I hear," said Lee. "And they say he distinguished himself at Molino del Rey. His regiment lost a number of men, too." "Well," said Ned, "I wasn't with my regiment in these battles here, but I'm glad that my army has taken Mexico. Grant's a splendid fellow." "My regiment! My army!" laughed Captain Lee.

"Come here, young gentlemen," said the Governor, in a severe tone; "do you see that vessel about two miles clear of the port?
"Don't suppose that in Orbajosa there is no civil guard!" "Good-by, senora. I will now leave this house. I think we shall meet again." "Go, go! go now!" she cried, pointing with an energetic gesture to the door. Pepe Rey left the room.
The Mexicans have shown a patriotism which it would be well if we would imitate in part, but with more regard to truth. They celebrate the anniversaries of Chapultepec and Molino del Rey as of very great victories. The anniversaries are recognized as national holidays.
The American commander had not the slightest idea of doing anything of the kind, but there had been almost continuous fighting in the days following the termination of the armistice. Perhaps the hardest of it had been at Molino del Rey, and the defences there had been carried by the assailants. There appeared now to be but the one barrier of the Chapultepec hill between them and a final victory.
