"You said, last night, that you were born on the other side?" She inclined her ruddy head to the west. "Yes'm. My father was a mining man, and he done well over there until he locked horns with the Guadalupes. Old Don Enrique and him had a run-in at the finish, over some land or something.
Without it I should have failed," answered Tad generously. "Which way are you headed?" asked Mr. Marquand. "Guadalupes," answered the guide. "The boys want to explore some of the old pueblos." "And I also," spoke up Professor Zepplin. "I understand there is much of interest in them." "I should say so," muttered their guest.
After a moment she continued: "Since you know everything and everybody, I wonder if you ever met a David Law?" Ellsworth nodded. "Tell me something about him." "He asked me the same thing about you. Well, I haven't seen much of Dave since he grew up, he's such a roamer." "He said his parents were murdered by the Guadalupes."
That part of the story which I didn't know at the time I learned by talking with General Guadalupe and others. It was very shocking." Dave's face was a study; his color had lessened slightly; he wet his lips. "This is news, of course," said he, "but it doesn't explain my mother's death. Who killed her, if not the Guadalupes?" "Can't you guess?
I have come to the conclusion, from certain things that have come under my notice, that the headquarters of this band of Border Bandits is here in the Guadalupes. Search as we might we have been unable to locate their cache." "You mean where they hide?" "Yes, that and something else. You see their plan of operation is this. These men indulge in various forms of rascality.
That's what I meant when I said they had to kill Frank Law." Ellsworth maintained his fixity of gaze, and when Dave started he nodded his head. "It's God's truth. The details were too dreadful. Your father turned his hand against the woman he loved and died a wife-killer. The Guadalupes had to destroy him like a mad dog.
