Among these last are her suspicions, well founded as we know, that Kaolin's sister has aided the paleface to escape; and that her own slave, who should have hindered, has not only connived at it, but taken himself away as well. In short, the cage is empty, and the bird with its keeper both flown!
Who or what could have awakened the cacique, and apprised him of the flight of his captive? In asking herself these questions, Kaolin's sister is under the belief, that the sorceress is herself still a prisoner, in the keeping of that stalwart and redoubtable gaucho. Hence her surprise at their being pursued, with the uncertainty that they are so, and the further doubt of the pursuer being Aguara.
For Kaolin's followers, availing themselves of a route known to one of their number a shorter cut across the pampas have passed the party led by Aguara, and will be the first to arrive at the objective point aimed at by both. And they are first sighted by Gaspar, though the gaucho has not been looking in their direction, little expectant of pursuers to come from that quarter.
"Ah!" he rejoins, with his words heaving a sigh, "it is often those who are most beautiful who most deceive." Possibly the memory of some such deception, an experience of times long past, has been awakened within him. It embitters his speech as he continues "I can't I won't believe you though you are Kaolin's sister, and ever so fair to look upon." "But you will, when you look upon this."
All I say is, that the thing isn't at all likely. Mam Shebotha's not the sort to trust her affairs to such a chiquitita as you." "You know me, don't you?" "Oh, yes; you are Kaolin's sister her they call the belle of the tribe; your name's Nacena." "It is so; and surely you'll believe me? The sister of Kaolin would not speak false. You cannot suppose I am deceiving you?"
Though for what reason Francesca could not tell, having never that she could think of done aught that should give offence to Kaolin's sister. Besides, was not Kaolin himself the bosom friend of her brother Ludwig?
