"Gonzales owns the Palomares rancho, but the Palomar rancho belonged to old Don Miguel Farrel." "Was he the father of the boy they call 'Don Mike' he who was killed in Siberia?" "The same." "Why did you have to foreclose on his ranch, father?"
If it had been the Palomar instead of the Palomares! I might be able to stand the sight of Japs on the Palomares end of the San Gregorio, but on the Palomar " At four o'clock, when the train whistled for Sespe, he hurried back to the observation-car to procure his baggage preparatory to alighting from the train.
In fact, I do not understand why he should have mentioned young turkeys at all, because he's a cattleman. And he comes from the San Gregorio valley." "Indeed! What's his name?" "He didn't tell me. But he knows all about the ranch you took over from the Gonzales estate." "But I didn't foreclose on that. It was the Farrel estate." "He called it something else the Palomares rancho, I think."
The Palomares end of the San Gregorio was too infertile to interest an experienced agriculturist like Okada; there wasn't sufficient acreage to make a colonization-scheme worth while. On the contrary, fifty thousand acres of the Rancho Palomar lay in the heart of the valley and immediately contiguous to the flood-waters at the head of the ghost-river for which the valley was named.
I know the former owner is dead, and my father acquired the ranch by foreclosure of mortgage on the estate." "Then it's the Palomares grant. My father wrote in his last letter that old man Gonzales had died and that a suit to foreclose the mortgage had been entered against the estate. The eastern edge of that grant laps over the lower end of the San Gregorio. Is your father a banker?"
"There were tears in her eyes." He crossed the tracks, climbed a fence, and after traversing a small piece of bottom-land, entered a trail through the chaparral, and started his upward climb to the crest of the range that hid the San Gregorio. Suddenly he paused. Had the girl's unfamiliarity with Spanish names caused her to confuse Palomar with Palomares?
"We have a ranch there also," she volunteered. "Father acquired it recently." "From whom did he acquire it?" "I do not know the man's name, but the ranch is one of those old Mexican grants. It has a Spanish name. I'll try to remember it." She knitted her delicate brows. "It's Pal-something or other." "Is it the Palomares grant?" he suggested. "I think it is.
