"Yes," answered the haciendado, "Don Estevan de Arechiza has sent me word that he will arrive this evening with a somewhat numerous train, and I have taken measures to entertain a guest of such importance. But you say you wish to speak to me about some business what is it, Friar Jose Maria?"
"I suppose," said Arechiza, breaking silence, "that you have a thousand reasons why I should know you by no other than your present name. I, with motives very different from yours, no doubt, desire to be here nothing more than Don Estevan Arechiza. Now!
"So too your excellency, who was then called " Arechiza frowned till the hairs of his black moustache seemed to stand on end. The outlaw did not finish his speech. He saw that it was not the time to tell what he knew; but this species of complicity appeared to restore him to his wonted assurance.

He was a Spaniard who had arrived in Sonora but two months before, and who was known by the name, Don Estevan de Arechiza. No one in Arispe remembered ever to have seen him; and yet he appeared to have been in the country before this time.
"Blood and thunder!" cried Cuchillo, started as if bitten by a snake "that cannot be it is not possible I could be fooled in that manner by a child!" "That child is a giant beside you, master Cuchillo," coldly replied Arechiza. "It is impossible!" exclaimed the exasperated Cuchillo.
