Haven't they, doctor? . . . I alone can restrain Don Pepe. If they were to to do away with me, nothing could prevent him." "They will try to tamper with him," the doctor suggested, thoughtfully. "It is very possible," Charles Gould said very low, as if speaking to himself, and still gazing at the sketch of the San Tome gorge upon the wall. "Yes, I expect they will try that."
The Guarapascana, the Saniaca, the Chuntapunco, flowing into the Cconi on opposite sides, were successively left behind our adventurers, and they bowed for an instant before the tomb of a stranger, "a German from Germany," as Pepe Garcia said, "who pretended to know the language of the Chunchos, and who interpreted for himself, but who starved in the wilderness near the heap of stones you see."
And the old man hung his head with an air of discouragement which made a painful impression on the Spaniard raising it only to glance anxiously at the sky; where the moon held on her ordinary course over the starry blue. "So be it," said Pepe; "but, stay! we killed first five Indians, then three, that makes eight; there should have been twelve left; why did we only count ten in the water?
"He believed you?" the doctor asked, eagerly. "God knows!" said Charles Gould. "I owed it to my wife to say that much. He is well enough informed. He knows that I have Don Pepe there. Fuentes must have told him. They know that the old major is perfectly capable of blowing up the San Tome mine without hesitation or compunction.

Nothing could be seen, but he who is absorbed in his own thoughts sees with the mental vision, and Pepe Rey, his eyes fixed on the darkness, saw the varied panorama of his misfortunes unroll itself upon it before him.
When at last he sat down to rest under a flowering elder bush, he thought of his mother, and of the great sorrow that he was causing her, of his brother, and Norma, and old Pepe, and his heart failed him, and he wept. He might never see them again, for how could he ever accomplish anything that was good and great, and yet the fish had demanded it of him!
The master lowered his head. "If you only knew, Pepe! If you could see the life I lead every day!" "I know what it is," Cotoner hastened to say, "or rather, I can imagine. Don't tell me anything."
