My ancestors came here two hundred and fifty years ago, and ever since, ours has been truly a Mexican family that has preserved all of the most worthy traditions of the old Spanish nobles. We are a proud race, a conquering one. In this part of Bonista, I, like my ancestors, rule like a war lord." "You don't have much occupation at that game, do you, senor?" Tom asked, with an innocent smile.
And do you believe, Don Luis, that, after Senores Reade and Hazelton once get alive out of Bonista, any consideration would tempt them to come back here to testify? They have sampled your power," "Yet why do you object, Carlos, to having the Gringo pair put out of the way?" "I do not care anything about their lives," Tisco declared, coolly.
We left you behind to-night so that you wouldn't run into trouble with Don Luis." "Don Luis himself told me to wait on your excellencies night and day, as long as you remained in Bonista," Nicolas affirmed, solemnly. "Don Luis hasn't yet changed those orders, and so I must remain with you. But I had flattered myself that just now I was of enough service to you so that you wouldn't be displeased."
"Senor, are you making fun of me?" demanded Don Luis, with heightening color. "By no means, Don Luis. But you have observed that I have an escort of our country's troops." "Assuredly." "From that what would you infer?" "You may very likely hold some government commission," guessed Don Luis. "Assuredly I do," Honda replied. "In the state of Bonista especially?" "Even so."
"Then if you hold a commission in the state of Bonista," replied Don Luis Monte; "you must represent my very good friend, his excellency, the governor of this state." "Just at present the governor of Bonista is in difficulties," hinted Senor Manuel Honda. "How?" demanded Don Luis. "Yes; in difficulties," continued the visitor.
"None that I know of," Honda rejoined. "Don Luis, I am from the national capital. I represent the government of the Republic of Mexico, and I have considerable power in this state. I am solely in command, at present, of all the national troops within this state. These army officers will assure you that I hold a national commission to investigate affairs even in this remote state of Bonista.
You treat me with proper respect and I'll do as much for you." But Gato snarled like a wild beast. He was not armed. With every man in these Bonista mountains afraid of him, Gato had never felt the need of carrying weapons. But now he plunged to the doorway of the shaft house, then came bounding back, flourishing a knife that he had snatched from one of the peons. "Back! Back, Gato!" shouted Dr.
I doubt if the conductor will even let us aboard his train without a pass signed by Don Luis. Hang the entire state of Bonista!" Deep in thought, and well-nigh overwhelmed by the complete realization of his defeat, Tom stalked moodily back up among the rocks. As he turned a sharp, jutting ledge, Tom suddenly recoiled, as a brisk military voice called: "Para! Quien vive!"
You are a prisoner, nor are you ever likely to be much better off than that. A complaint of the treatment of these Americans, Reade and Hazelton, was forwarded to our government by the American minister in Mexico City. The complaint mentioned that the governor of Bonista was a confederate of yours in more than one underhanded bit of business.
"At least, his excellency, the governor, is not able to leave his house." "Ah! He is ill, then?" "Ill in spirit, yes," smiled Senor Honda. "Will you be good enough to explain?" Montez asked, anxiously. "Don Luis, it was I, Manuel Honda, who confined his excellency to his official dwelling and placed a guard about the buildings." "Oh? Is there a revolution, then, in the state of Bonista?"
