Don Luis's tale had confirmed her suspicions as to the double cause of Marie's wretchedness; she had herself administered to her while in that dead faint herself bent over her, lest the first words of returning consciousness should betray aught which the sufferer might wish concealed; but her care had been needless: no word passed those parched and ashy lips.
The fate of Don Luis's predecessor had been plunged in the deepest mystery.
"A thousand pardons, caballeros!" he murmured. "Of course, you are quite right. It had not occurred to me in that light before. True, the report was intended only for my own pleasure in later years, but that does not alter the nice point of honor." Tom Reade was deceived by Don Luis's manner. He did not suspect that, at this very instant, the Mexican was consumed with demoniacal rage.
"And perhaps Don Luis may be behind the rascal, urging him on and offering to protect him from the law? What do you think about that, Nicolas?" "I cannot say," Nicolas responded, with a slight shrug. "I am Don Luis's servant." "Pardon my forgetting that," begged Harry. "I should not have spoken as I did."
Instead the soldier now permitted the approaching object to roll into camp. It proved to be Don Luis's big touring car. In the tonneau sat the mine owner and Dr. Carlos Tisco. "What is this, Senor Reade?" cried Don Luis Montez, in pretended astonishment. "In trouble? Lieutenant, these gentlemen are friends of mine. May I ask you what this means?" Tom was not deceived by this by-play.
M. Desmalions was there, together with all the men who had spent the night in the room and several important persons from the public prosecutor's office. Weber, the deputy chief detective, alone had gone, refusing to meet his enemy. Don Luis's arrival caused great excitement. The Prefect at once came up to him and said: "All our thanks, Monsieur. Your insight is above praise.
"I have no need of money," replied the Mexican, shaking his head. "I am well supplied, caballeros." Displaying the two banknotes that he had received an hour before, Nicolas took three steps backward, then vanished. "There goes a faithful fellow!" glowed Tom. "If he isn't doing this under Don Luis's orders," muttered Hazelton.

He had perceived, not only by the pallor of Don Luis's cheeks, but other signs, that he was suffering, and in the name of his wife, who, when her husband was summoned from her side, had urged him with the earnestness of anxious love to watch over him, begged him not to force himself beyond his strength to perform his service, if his sufferings corresponded with his appearance.
"Don Luis's engineering problem," uttered Tom Reade, with deep scorn, "is simply to find two clean and honest engineers who'll sign a lying report and enable him to swindle some man or group of men out of a fortune." "Then Don Luis is a swindler, and we'll throw up the job," returned Harry Hazelton, vehemently. "We'll quit." "We won't help him swindle any one," Tom rejoined.
