"What could she have to do with all that treasure they say Lobarto stole in Mexico and hid on our ranch?" "Come over here and sit down both of you," commanded Nan, seeing that she had got the Mexican girl quieted for the time being. There was a log in the shade, and they took seats upon it. Nan said kindly to the Mexican: "Now, please, tell us quietly and calmly what you mean."
"I guess foreigners learn American slang before they learn the grammar," laughed Rhoda. "What else, Rhoda?" cried Grace. "It is to search out the treasure buried so long ago by Lobarto. If the map Juan has is true, he will find it. Then my mother will lose forever what Lobarto stole from our hacienda.
The question was, as Walter Mason very sensibly pointed out, having come up to Rose Ranch for this particular purpose, would the Mexicans endanger their plans by making a raid on the horses, and so be chased away without securing the buried riches of Lobarto?
They had come up here to hunt for the Mexican bandit's treasure; and here they had run into a gang of outlaws just as bad as the old Lobarto gang that had been such a scourge to the country six years before. "I believe the single Mexican you girls saw at the bears' den belonged to this gang that started the cattle stampeding," Walter declared. "It must be true," agreed Rhoda.
But to put it in more understandable English, as Nan and Rhoda did later when they talked it over with Bess and Grace Mason, Juanita O'Harra told a very interesting indeed, quite an exciting story about Lobarto and the lost treasure the bandit chief had carried into the Rose Ranch region. Juanita's mother had married the Irish contractor who had died when the girl was small.
Lobarto and his gang were run off so quick that he had to cache almost everything but the hard cash he had with him. He had raided two churches in Mexico and plundered several haciendas before coming up from the Border, so people say." "Why don't you ranch folks go and dig up his loot?" demanded Bess, wide-eyed. "Well," laughed Rhoda, "we don't know where it is cached.
