The proposal was accepted, and Paches marched his forces into the town. In spite of the convention, the leaders of the revolt took sanctuary in the temples, being in dread of summary execution. Paches reassured them, and sent them in safe custody to Tenedos. We must now turn back a little, and follow the movements of Alcidas.
Notwithstanding the violent opposition of Creon, the majority of the assembly reversed their former decree and resolved that the Mytileneans already in custody should be put upon their trial, but that the remainder of the population should be spared. A second trireme was immediately despatched to Mytilene, with orders to Paches to arrest the execution. The utmost diligence was needful.
"He was man enough to go up against half a dozen 'Paches alone to save Pauline Roubideau," Billie said simply. She looked up with quick interest. "I've heard that story. Is it true?" "It's true. And he was man enough to fight it out to a finish against two bad men yesterday." "But he can't be more than eighteen." She watched for a moment the flush of fever in his soft cheeks.
But the Athenians repented, and a second decree of the assembly, through the influence of Diodotus, prevented the barbarous revenge; but the Athenians put to death the prisoners which Paches had sent, razed the fortifications of Mitylene, took possession of all her ships of war, and confiscated all the land of the island except that which belonged to one town that had been faithful.
And almost all others who have spoken of the harsh treatment of generals by the people mention the banishment of Themistokles, the imprisonment of Miltiades, the fine imposed on Perikles, and the suicide of Paches in court when sentence was pronounced against him, but although they speak of the banishment of Aristeides, they never allude to this trial and sentence upon him.
"You know the horses that the boys claim. Well, take Thursday to the remuda an' help him pick a mount from the extras in place of that broomtail he's ridin'," continued the drover. "Look alive now. I don't want my cattle stampeded because we haven't got sense enough to protect 'em. No 'Paches can touch a hoof of my stock if I can help it."
The 'Paches are too plenty and too close. We must light out." "Sha'n't I shtrike anither match to light us out by?" "Hold your tongue, will you? Creep right along behind me, without making any noise at all, and don't rise to your feet till yer see me do it, and don't open your meat-traps to speak till I axes yer a question, if it isn't till a month from now. Do yer understand me?"
"One thing is certain: you saved Anastacio from killing Juanita, for she never would have gone into that village alive." "Wall, youngster," said Jerry, "I've heered you through; and now I'd like ter know what you think of the 'Paches; 'cause, you see, we've got ter travel a good many hundred miles through their country, and I'd like ter hev your opinion of 'em."
"They're Mezcallero 'Paches, and the'r food, th' mezcal, grows thick round ther'. 'Sides, ther's no other place on th' stream combinin' grazin' and waterin', and they've never been hunted into that region yit." "Well, Paul, they will be now." I urged the men on as fast as possible, taking care not to exhaust the horses and unfit them for a long pursuit.
Some’re jus’ mustangs; other’s good stuff gone wild—run off by th’ ’Paches an’ broke loose, or got away from a ’wet hoss’ band—" "’Wet horse’ band?" Callie glanced at him a little sharply. "How come you ain’t knowin’ ’bout ’wet hosses’? Heard tell as how they have ’em that same trouble down Texas way—" "But I don’t come from the border country."
