If he is discovered near Enramada he will undoubtedly be killed without a chance to explain who he really is. But that is the way with you Americans. Confident in your own ignorance, you are always pushing ahead without stopping to count the cost." "At the same time we generally get there." "Get where?" asked the other, sharply. "To the place we start for."
"You have undertaken a difficult task, and I only hope it may be accomplished," replied the General, thoughtfully. "Of course I will furnish you with a horse and an escort to Enramada, which place, as you are doubtless aware, is already occupied by my men." "By the Cubans?" cried Ridge, in dismay. "Certainly.

"But, my young friend, you have already travelled far to-day and are exhausted." "I still have some strength left." "Night is upon us, and the trails are very dangerous."
