An adobe wall, some seven feet high, surrounded the corral, and beneath the canvas awning on the southern side certain offenders against the peace and dignity of Yavapai County had been assembled under the eye of tobacco-chewing deputies. There were the Sanchez half-brothers, 'Patchie and José, both shackled. There was Muñoz, similarly decked.
"Where's the luck in that throw?" demanded Kendric, fully enjoying the play of expression on Ortega's face. "The luck," grumbled Ortega, "was that I did not bet you. If I had bet it would have been a six, no less." "Tony Muñoz," called Kendric, turning. "Will it be you?"
"Go at once," he decided without a moment's hesitation. "My dear cousin, it will be the happy turning point of your fortunes. I fancy you already inheriting the hoards, city lots, haciendas, mines, and cattle of our excellent relative Muñoz long may he live to enjoy them! Certainly. Don't whisper an objection. Muñoz owes you that reparation.
Augustine in Manila, in the possession of Fray Diego Munoz, prior and commissary of the Holy Office, made the effort to gain possession of them.

"H'm!" said Jim, "yes; that is of course the most satisfactory way of proving the matter. My messenger cannot possibly return for eight or ten days yet, so I should have plenty of time to make the journey. I can leave the fort in charge of Lieutenant Munoz, as there is really nothing in the way of duty to keep me here. Yes, I think that will be best.
