The letter was from Bruce West, down in Lower California, and scrawled across the flap were instructions to the postmaster to hold it for Jim Kendric who would arrive within a couple of weeks. Furthermore the word URGENT was not to be overlooked. Among the men drawn together in hourly expectation of the arrival of Kendric, one remarked thoughtfully: "Jim's Mex friend is in town."
I'd 'a' bet my best mule team against a dollar Mex that you'd have gunned him on sight." "I'll tell you why, Reb. He had one rifle an' one six-gun. I didn't have either the one or the other, so I had to borrow his guns before I talked turkey. By that time I'd changed my mind about bumpin' him off right now. When Yankie finds out what he's been sayin' he'll do the trick for me."
So I up and bought the damsel for him, paid one hundred Mex. for her, and, if you'll believe me, haven't had a dime's worth of work out of Ah Foo since!" Percival found himself on the dry beach of non-comprehension when the tide of laughter followed the receding story, "A cup of very strong tea and dry toast," he said over his shoulder to the waiting Chinaman.
She gathered her company quickly, seven women well seasoned and not comely, 'The God of the Corn is a woman god, she said, sharp smiling, and seven men, keen and hard runners. The rest she appointed to meet her at Painted Rock ten moons from their going." "So long as that!" said Dorcas Jane. "Was it so far from where you lived to Mex to the Country of Stone Houses?"
Run me in, by Gawd, because I happened to be havin' a drink with a man named Stenton an' a man named Cosgrove an' a dirty Mex as was all crooked an' was wanted for somethin' they pulled off back down there ... I don't know rightly what it was, damn if I do, Buck! But they wanted somebody, an' they got the deadwood on them jaspers, an' me bein' seen with 'em, they put me across, too.
Thus speaking, Palafox, going ahead, almost dragged Evaleen by an obscure path to Cacosotte's Tavern. Lucrèce followed perforce, convoyed by Sheldrake. When they reached the threshold, the chief outlaw kicked the door, which was soon opened from within. The frowning face and bold bosom of Mex fronted the captives.
But the captain had grown tired of Cacosotte's conversation. He ordered Mex to bring him another drink. Then, turning to Sheldrake, he said in undertones: "Abe, you mind that trip from Pittsburg to Massac. Recollect what I told you that night? Before many weeks there's going to be a chance for men like us to make our fortunes as easy as floating down the Mississip."
Long, toilsome, exhausting, was his return tramp toward the sole haunt in which he could expect sympathy or command protection. He did not rely on honor among thieves, but he had confidence in Mex, who was bound to him, he believed, by two strong ties, love and fear.
We have reckoned they had their hang-out here, but we haven't found it yet" "How many are in this band of Border Bandits?" asked Butler. "There are some that we don't know. We do know a few of them, however. For instance, there's the Mexican, Espinoso, known as the 'Yellow Kid. Then there's Greg. Gonzales, a half-breed Mex bandit, and Willie Jones." "Willie Jones!
As he told of his losses, it was not apparent to an outsider that the hotel had not been utterly and entirely his property, instead of an old Buddhist temple rented from the priests for one hundred dollars Mex. a year. Besides Rivers, others in the town in the interior had suffered hardships. Among them was his number-one boy, Kwong, who had served him faithfully for several years.
