He could not now take down his gun and tramp the ditch. Now he was supine, and the longing to break through the mesh, wrestle free from the complication, gripped him and racked him with all its old-time force. Promptly at nine o'clock the faithful Chino presented himself at the office.
"By extracting one or more of the party's back teeth," announced the "expert" gravely, at the same time producing a huge pair of horseshoeing nippers. Chino uttered a howl, but was violently restrained from bolting. He was understood to say that he didn't want that mare.
The small streams which form the river unite on the eastern side of Big Chino valley and flow thence in a southerly and easterly direction until some 12 miles north of Verde the waterway approaches the edge of the volcanic formation known on the maps as the Colorado plateau, or Black mesa, and locally as “the rim.” Here the river is sharply deflected southward, and flows thence in a direction almost due south to its mouth.
This was sent down by express to the smelting-house. But it was necessary to take the brick from the mine to the express office at Iowa Hill. This duty devolved upon Lockwood and Chino Zavalla. Hicks had from the very first ordered that the Spaniard should accompany the superintendent upon this mission.
The retention of the Republican form of Government in China will be a great future obstacle in the way of a Chino- Japanese Alliance. And why must it be so? Because, in a Republic the fundamental principles of government as well as the social and moral aims of the people are distinctly different from that of a Constitutional Monarchy. Their laws and administration also conflict.
The Mexican, his shoulder bandaged, was propped up against the saddle they had taken from Shiloh. He stared at them sullenly, his gaze finally centering on Don Cazar when they took places opposite him. "Some of that coffee for him, Chino," Rennie called. Herrera brought over a tin cup from the fire now blazing.
A cow in the stable near at hand lay down with a long breath, while from the back veranda of Chino Zavalla's cabin came the clear voice of Felice singing "The Spanish Cavalier" while she washed the dishes. The twilight was fading; the glory that had blazed in cloudless vermilion and gold over the divide was dying down like receding music. The mountains were purple-black.
He swelled up an' give 'em a bundle o' talk that John put in Chino fer 'em, an' then finished up by showin' 'em a button a ol' United States Army brass button he'd cut off his blue blouse an' tol' 'em he was goin' ter bury it in Ming's grave so as ter keep him bedded down.
Now somebody, probably for a joke, "lifted" this ancient wreck from poor Chino on the ground that it had never been Chino's property anyway. Chino, with childlike faith in the dignity of institutions, brought the matter before the weekly court. That body took charge with immense satisfaction. It appointed lawyers for the prosecution and the defence. Prosecution started to submit Chino's claim.
Late Saturday afternoon, however, the engineer's boy brought word to Chino that the superintendent wanted him at once. Chino found Lockwood lying upon the old lounge in the middle room of the office, his foot in bandages. "Here's luck, Chino," he exclaimed, as the Mexican paused on the threshold. "Come in and shut the door," he added in a lower voice. "Dios!" murmured Chino. "An accident?"
