Finally Ramona, who had felt unconquerable misgivings as to the wisdom of thus irrevocably parting from their most valuable possessions, persuaded him to take both horses and wagon to San Bernardino, and offer them to the Hyers to use for the winter. It would be just the work for Jos, to keep him in the open air, if he could get teaming to do; she was sure he would be thankful for the chance.
She had never come into sympathetic relations with them, as she had with the women of San Pasquale. Her intimacy with the Hyers had been a barrier the Saboba people could not surmount. No one could be on such terms with whites, and be at heart an Indian, they thought; so they held aloof from Ramona. But now in her bereavement they gathered round her.
However, as the spring began in the very heart of the village, they could not take it without destroying the village. "And the Ravallos would surely never let that be done," thought Ramona. "While they live, it will not happen." It was a sad day for Ramona and Alessandro when the kindly Hyers pulled up their tent-stakes and left the valley.
It is like death while it lasts; but it is never long." The Hyers were on their way to some hot springs on the north side of the valley. Here they proposed to camp for three months, to try the waters for Jos. They had a tent, and all that was necessary for living in their primitive fashion.
You're up in the Aleutians. I make out. 20 A. what's that?" "Old government telegraph wire line abandoned finest drawn-copper wire. I've had three boys at that for months." "What's 301? This here, off the Mexican coast?" The President, unable to remember, turned to his one clerk: "Hyers, what's 301? Isn't that Peterson?" The clerk ran his finger down a column: "No, sir; 301 is the Whisky Ship."
A few days saw the two families settled, the Hyers in their tent and wagon, at the hot springs, and Alessandro and Ramona, with the baby, in a little adobe house in the Saboba village. The house belonged to an old Indian woman who, her husband having died, had gone to live with a daughter, and was very glad to get a few dollars by renting her own house.
