At least he didn't have to worry about the food; bio-studies had shown that Traiti and humans had the same basic nutritional requirements and limitations. No Traiti food should poison him. Finally Hovan pushed back his tray, his meal finished. "Ranger Esteban Tarlac. We will much together be; object you if we not formal are?
From the negro quarters came the sound of other and even louder lamentations, for Dona Rosa had been well loved and the news of her passing had spread quickly. Don Esteban was at heart a selfish man, and now, therefore, he felt a sullen, fierce resentment mingled with his grief. What trick was this? he asked himself. What had he done to merit such misfortune?
At a secure distance she stopped. "Then you are a soldier, Don Esteban?" "No!" "Then what for you sink 'I am a soldier of the Lord, and you will make die 'in His army'? Oh, yes; you have said." She gathered up her guitar tightly under her arm, shook her small finger at him gravely, and said, "You are a hoombog, Don Esteban; good a' night," and began to glide away.
"Anything that you recommend, General, we shall be glad to undertake," replied Donald, acting as spokesman for the trio. "Then I shall turn you over to Don Esteban, and as his business is pressing, I will excuse you if you wish to accompany him home." "A thousand thanks, General," said Don Esteban effusively. Then to the boys: "My automobile is at the door.
For the first time, Miss Keene noticed a slight irony in Senor Perkins' superabundant fluency, and that he did not conceal his preoccupation over the silent saluting gun he was still admiring.

Rosa eagerly inquired. "Oh no. They have sent a new man he's in Havana now a dark little, old fellow who never smiles. He has a long nose and a big chin; he dresses all in black a very 'jew-bird' in appearance, from what I hear. His name is Weyler Valeriano Weyler, Marquis of Teneriffe." Esteban laughed tolerantly, for as yet the name of Weyler meant nothing to him.
It seems that Esteban has carried off the beautiful senorita of El Orobo Rancho, and the vaqueros tell Jose that ALL the American vaqueros have ridden in search of her ALL, my general, you understand. In such times of danger it is odd that the gringos should leave El Orobo thus unguarded. Only the rich Senor Harding, two house servants, and a Chinaman remain."
The boy examined the vault carefully by the light of a gas jet. "There seems no way that any one could have entered except by the door," said Donald. "None whatever!" "You are sure there is no opening in the ceiling?" "Absolutely." Don Esteban led the boys out and locked the door of the vault.
Esteban Varona came to me soon after he and his sister had fled from their home; he wanted to join my forces, but we were harassed on every side, and I didn't dare take the girl no woman could have endured the hardships we suffered. So I convinced him that his first duty was to her, rather than to his country, and he agreed. He was a fine boy! He had spirit.
She felt that she must dance, must run, must cast her arms aloft in ecstasy. Never had she experienced so keen an intoxication of joy as now, while Esteban was leading her toward the treasure and wooing her with youthful ardor. Then of a sudden Isabel's whole dream-world dissolved. She awoke, or thought she did, at hearing her name shouted.
