My attorney will examine your title to the land and the water right. How are the young ladies on Perro Creek getting along?" "They have plenty of fresh air and scenery," Lee responded, relaxing from the tension under which he had been. "It was rather a wild notion, their taking claims, but they wanted the experience. I hope my niece is benefited in respect to her health.
Marcos and Sarrion glanced at each other, and possibly Juanita saw the glance as she held Perro back from his master. "You do not know, Marcos, how they hate you. They could not hate you more if you were a heretic. I have always known it, because Father Muro was always trying to find things out about you in confession. He asked questions about you who your confessor was; if you did a pilgrimage.
"Perro!" said I; "why do you call the dog Perro?" "We call him Perro," said the man, "because his name is Perro." "But how came you to give him that name?" said I. "We did not give it to him," said the man "he bore that name when he came into our hands; a farmer gave him to us when he was very young, and told us his name was Perro." "And how came the farmer to call him Perro?" said I.
"In five minutes you can tell," said Lee, "whether or not you wish to listen longer to my proposition." "Yes." "I now own the Perro Creek ranch, of five thousand acres. It was originally owned by Mr. Menocal, of Bartolo, but recently by a man named Stevenson, from whom I bought it." "I know the place, Mr. Bryant. Proceed."
When the small interval still undug was moved, the ditch would be finished from river to ranch, from the Pinas down to Perro. And this was to be the last day of toil! To-day the camps were to hurl themselves at that short remaining strip of earth and tear it out; the furrow so long pressed ahead through the iron ground was to be brought to an end; the enemy, frost, was to be conquered at last.
And after all, it is something deja quelque chose to be worthy of that name. This dog was called Perro, which being translated is Dog. He had been a waif in his early days, some stray from the mountains near the frontier, where dogs are trained to smuggle. Full of zeal, he had probably smuggled too eagerly. Marcos had found him, half starved, far up the valley of the Wolf.
Perro would awake Sarrion and Marcos, who must be very tired. It was a woman's instinct. Juanita was growing up. Perro heard her, and in obedience to her whispered injunction stood still, looking up at her and wagging his uncouth tail slowly. But he gave forth the uneasy sound again between his teeth. Juanita went back into her room; found her slippers and dressing-gown.
Now, tell me about everything." "Everything?" "All you're doing with that three-legged telescope and these stakes." She smoothed her dress and manifested an expectant interest. The impression Bryant had gained at the first accidental meeting at Perro Creek, of her good looks, of her vitality and irrepressible spirits, was heightened.
I don't know where your canal to Perro Creek will go, but if its line follows the foot of the range, as may be likely, it might happen to find those claims in the way." "Any idea in your mind where those fellows may locate their filings?" "No; I can't say definitely. Shouldn't be surprised if they began stringing them along a couple of miles south of here till they reached Perro Creek."
Pol, of course, is one of the recognised Cornish prefixes; it is simply pool, the Welsh pwll, a creek or inlet or "pill." The perro is supposed to be a corruption of Peter, and the whole name would thus mean Peter's Pool, so called from a chapel to St. Peter that once stood on Chapel Hill. An earlier name was Porthpeyre, which neither assists nor contradicts such a derivation. That St.
