But when she announced that she was going up into the hills in quest of the little red winter berries that grew in profusion, he flatly put his foot down on the project. "I don't feel any too sure of Manuel Crust and his gang," said he. "They're in an ugly mood and they are brutes, Miss Clinton. Don't be alarmed.
One looked ten feet long and as big around as a telegraph pole. When this one smashed the water white and leaped, Manuel yelled, "Pecuda!" I tried hard to catch a specimen, and had a good many hooked, but they always broke away. I did not know then, as I know now, that barracuda grow to twelve feet in the Caribbean. That fact is mentioned in records and natural histories.
But even at this age a New Mexican maiden is deemed old enough for matrimony; and Manuel, to do justice to him, has eyes upon her with this honest intent. For months he had made up his mind to have her for his wife long before their forced flight into the Llano Estacado.
Andronicus proclaimed a free pardon to his subjects; they neither desired, nor would grant, forgiveness; he offered to resign the crown to his son Manuel; but the virtues of the son could not expiate his father's crimes.
"The sword of Don Manuel had been drawn on the instant, and, furious at this interruption, he passed it through the body of the stranger, who fell dead at his feet. Hearing approaching footsteps, he fled the fatal spot, and mounting his horse, which was at hand, retreated to his estate in the country, at no great distance from Seville.
"Yu shore ain't got no call to go loco that way, none whatever. I don't want yore Carmencita. I only called to say hulloo," responded Hopalong, his sympathies being aroused for the wounded man before him from his vivid recollection of the woman who had opened the door. "Yah!" snarled Manuel. "You wants to poison my little bird. You with your fair hair and your cursed swagger!"
The Wild Mustangs. Hal and Ned. The Black and the Bay. Manuel the Herder. The Mustang-breaker. Life on a Stock Ranche. A Sudden Start. On the Road. The Lone Mule. The Stampede. Attacked by Comanches. Under the Wagons. The Lost Stock. Jerry Vance the Wagon-master. His Pluck is aroused. We take the Trail. The Comanche Camp. A Surprise. The Result. Visitors. Cuchillo, the Comanche Chief.
And Niafer rose, a living girl just such as Manuel had remembered for more than a whole year: but with that kiss all memories of paradise and all the traits of angelhood departed from her. "Well, well, dear snip," said Manuel, the first thing of all, "now it is certainly a comfort to have you back again."
A deep voice cried, "They are driving them in." Then several together yelled: "Come away, Manuel. Come away. Por Dios...." Stretched at full length in the passage, and sustaining myself on my trembling arms, I gazed up at him. He stood very rigid, holding the flask in both hands.
But Manuel held tightly to what remained between his palms, and he felt, they say, that in the fluid was struggling something small and soft and living, as though he held a tiny minnow. Said Manuel, "A straight line is the shortest distance between two points."
