It was very curious that rain often fell on Bimbo's field when none fell elsewhere; so that Bimbo grew rich and changed his name to Kanemochi. He believed that the boy Raitaro beckoned to the clouds, and they shed their rain for him. A good many summers passed by, and Raitaro had grown to be a tall and handsome lad, almost a man and eighteen years old.
The schoolmaster bowed, then, with his head held high, he accompanied us out to the road. The new priest had arrived in the only cart the villagers had at their disposal. Two cows were harnessed to it, and on the way the sacristan stopped to milk them, and then offered some of the milk to the young priest. "It's very good milk," he said, "especially Bimbo's."
A moment after we could hear the prayers of the fellow as he was led to the cart, and his entreaties to speak with the lieutenant just for a moment. "He is too late," was all the remark that the officer vouchsafed upon being informed of Bimbo's desire. We entered the secret cellar, and then had the articles which were found there passed up for an examination.
I saw the stockman glance around to see if his actions were observed, and that stealthy look was like a cat's watching for its prey I saw that the sentry was examining the lock of his carbine, and paying no attention to Bimbo's movements, while the rest of the men were engaged in smoking and lounging near and then for a moment the heads of Jim Gulpin and the stockman were close together, as though whispering confidentially.
I think not," replied the officer, after a moment's reflection; "but that, you know, is no fault of Bimbo's. By his advice, I have twice been near capturing parties of marauders. Something, however, has happened to prevent me either I would get the intelligence too late, or the robbers had just changed their haunts."
