The establishment of one such post at a point called Arispe, in Sonora, in a country now almost depopulated by the hostile inroads of the Indians from our side of the line, would, it is believed, have prevented much injury and many cruelties during the past season. A state of lawlessness and violence prevails on that distant frontier. Life and property are there wholly insecure.
"Now, Senor Senator!" began he, "I am going to make known to you some secrets sufficient to turn your head." The Senator trembled. "When the tempter carried the Son of Man to the top of a mountain, and promised him all the kingdoms of the earth if he would fall down and worship him, he scarce offered him more than I am offering to the Senator of Arispe.

As Don Estevan almost always lost at play, and as he also neglected to reclaim the sums of money which he so liberally lent to his acquaintances, it began to be conjectured that he possessed not far from Arispe some rich placer of gold from which he drew his resources. The periodical journeys which he made gave colour to this conjecture.
Fabian knelt before the hunter. The latter removed his fur cap, and with moist eyes raised to the starry heavens, he said "Oh! my God! bless my son, and grant that his children may love him as he has been loved by old Bois-Rose." The following day the illustrious Senator returned in sadness to Arispe. "I was sure," he said, "that I should unceasingly mourn for poor Don Estevan.
