Alessandro could speak forcibly in Spanish. Pointing to his pony, which stood at the door with a package on its back, the remainder of the meat rolled in the hide, he said: "There is the remainder of the beef. I killed the creature this morning, in the canon. I will take Senor Merrill to the place, if he wishes it. Senor Merrill's steer was killed down in the willows yonder, yesterday."
"Cynthia," she said, "those articles were written by politicians, in a political controversy. No such articles can ever be taken literally." "Miss Lucretia, do you believe what it says about Jethro Bass?" repeated Cynthia. How was she to avoid those eyes? They pierced into, her soul, even as her own had pierced into Mrs. Merrill's.
"Well, Cynthy," said he, "I know why these old fellows take you round with 'em. To take care of 'em, eh? They're not fit to travel alone." And so it was settled, after much further argument, that they were all to sup at Mr. Merrill's house, Cynthia stoutly maintaining that she would not desert them. And then Mr.

Fortunately, behind the office of the mine, there was a small room well stocked with rifles and ammunition. This was wise precaution of Mr. Merrill's, who, knowing the Mexican character to a T, had insisted on this room being provided in case of strikes or other difficulties. The store of arms was drawn upon freely, and each of the defenders had a spare rifle at his side.
