"The whole army are eager to be off, before the Mexicans can gather their forces and be ready to fall upon them." "The army may think what it likes, and wish what it likes," Malinche said, quietly. "I am sure that Cortez will not go down to the coast; and what he wills, he does. The others may grumble, but Cortez leads them like tame deer.

Malinche went out and soon returned, saying that she had spoken to one of the Tezcucan caziques in alliance with the Spaniards. He had at once offered to receive Amenche at his palace, which was situate but three miles from the end of the causeway. "I cannot leave Roger again," the princess said, when she understood what was proposed.

Malinche came several times to see them, and a warm affection sprang up between her and Amenche. "What do you mean to do, Roger?" she asked him one day, when she found him alone. "I mean to marry Amenche, at once," he said; "and to go back to Europe, if possible, without delay." "I have managed that for you," Malinche said. "I spoke to Cortez yesterday.

Smoke ascended from the summit, where, as Malinche had told him, fire always burns before the altar in its center. Just before reaching the foot of the pyramid, the governor pointed to a building of considerable size. "Here you will see," he said, leading Roger towards a great gateway, "how well the god has been honored."

The time cannot be far off when the people will no longer endure the present state of things, here; and when they rise, they will overwhelm these Spanish tyrants, and then I shall be freed. I can wait for a few weeks, and I shall doubtless have companions here, ere long." The door now opened, and Malinche, looking in, told Roger that he must leave, as she was required by Cortez.

They fear the specter of this fabled Perro de la Malinche more than anything else on earth, as it is said to harrow their souls in Hades as it ravened their bodies when in the flesh." After smoking a few cigarritos, my friend proposed to ride home, as there was really nothing else to be done.

"I could not leave the palace without permission, and Malinche told him of the kindness I had experienced at your hands. He himself is uneasy at the position in which he finds himself, uncertain of Montezuma's intentions, and fearful of an assault; and he bade me try to find out, as far as might be, what was the general opinion respecting the Spaniards."

As the party moved down the steps of the palace, and along the street, evidently discoursing on some important business, Roger followed them closely. He waited until Malinche happened, for a moment, to be at the outside of the party, then he pressed forward and said to her: "Malinche, do you remember your white friend?"

Believing that the spirit of the Mexicans would be broken now, Cortez, on the following morning, mounted the turret from which Montezuma had addressed them. Malinche was by his side; and when he held up his hands, to show that he wished to address them, a silence fell upon the multitude; and Malinche's voice was heard plainly by them, as she translated the words of Cortez.

El Perro de la Malinche!" and shrilly the voices of frightened squaws took up the refrain, "Perro! Perro! Gringo Perro!" When I staggered to my feet, I was alone, sorely bruised and wounded, but master of the field. I recovered my revolver, which lay at my feet and contrived to mount my horse, whose bridle had caught on the greasewood brush, and I headed for home.
