Without following further, he turned in the opposite direction, and after imitating three times in succession, the howling of the prairie wolf a signal for Pepe he strode off to the spot where the yellow jacket had fallen from the saddle.
"Master Cuchillo! a word, if you please," cried Pepe, drawing aside the branches of the cotton shrubs; "Master Cuchillo!" But Cuchillo did not hear.
