She looked around her in surprise, as if ignorant of what had happened; but when Geronimo's voice fell in joyous accents on her ear, a bright smile irradiated her countenance, and she exclaimed: "It is not a dream! He lives! I see him once more! Geronimo! Geronimo!" The young noble was too overpowered to do more than call the name of his beloved.
Apaches were raiding; claim-jumpers were battling; road-agents were robbing stages; bad men were slaying one another in the streets; and, taking it altogether, life was stepping to a lively tune. Geronimo's naked warriors were industrious. Now they would steal upon a pair of miners doing assessment work within sight of town.
I know not how long, and I am tormented by hunger and thirst; you have kept life in me by the wine so kindly bestowed, but now my body demands nourishment. Give me bread." "Bread!" said Julio, "there is not a mouthful of food in the house." But seeing Geronimo's eyes fixed in supplication upon him, he added: "It is not late; perhaps I may find some shop still open.
The young girl, struck by these evidences of some misfortune, ran to her father and exclaimed, joining her hands: "Speak, father, and tell me what has happened. Leave me not in this terrible suspense. Tell me that they have not found Geronimo's dead body. Alas! he is dead! Is it not so?"

On one of these campaigns Lieutenant Powhatan H. Clarke gave effective proof of the affection which the officers of colored regiments have for their men.

"Pity me, dear Petronilla," answered the young girl; "your kind words are a solace to me, but I dare not open my heart to the whisperings of hope. If I accepted your explanations, and afterwards heard of Geronimo's death, it would be double suffering to me. No, no, rather let me encourage the feeling that there is no room for hope."
The immediate future must decide Geronimo's fate, so she went on a pilgrimage with her darling to the Madonna of Guadelupe to pray for the repose of the Emperor's soul, and also to beseech the gracious Virgin mercifully to remember him, Geronimo. Until that time the boy had believed Don Luis and his wife to be his parents, and had loved Dona Magdalena like the most affectionate son.
"Then then," Wolf faltered in bewilderment" then Don Luis would But surely it can not be! Then, after all, Quijada would be " Here a low laugh from Barbara broke the silence, and with dilated eyes he learned who Geronimo's parents were.
