I am too happy a week of terrible suffering, and I am again happy. But a week ago, Catalina, and I was happy. I had met with a strange adventure, one that promised fortune. I was full of hope hope of winning you; not you, querida, but your father. Of winning him by gold. See!" Here the speaker held forth his hand filled with shining ore. "It is gold.
As they near the Mission the great door opens, and the Padre comes out, followed by four young men, who carry alas! my heart tells me what they carry the brightness and lightness of the face and form of Ysabel Enriquez: and there lies upon her breast a tiny baby form. Alas! muy querida!
And here are the bride and bridegroom, Ysabel Alvarado, the flower of San Gabriel, and Ramon Enriquez, to whose proud, dark face hers is often lifted with happy smiles at the words of admiration and friendly wishes that reach their ears. Now, Juan, ring your loudest, and no one will complain: Muy querida, muy querida . . .

He fretted and ate out his heart for the freedom of the range. Old Anita, passing at some work or other, stopped and gazed at him for a compassionate moment.

"What, Anita?" she asked gently.
Rosabella was obviously agitated, but she readily replied, "Do you suppose, Papasito, that we would accept a lover without asking you about it? When Mamita querida died, she charged us to tell you everything; and we always do."
"Do," said Courtrey, and swung away around the wall of the house. There were no more artless songs that day at Last's Holding. Anita was awake and peering with dim eyes when Tharon came in from the door sill. "Mi querida," she asked, "what happened?" "Nothing," said the girl, "it's time to begin supper. Th' boys'll soon be comin' in."
Ysabel, wife of Ramon Enriquez, born July 20, 1875: died October 23, 1893 Much Moved Eighteen years old, married, and dead! a sad strand of color this, to run into my tapestry, gay with silver lace, coquettish fans, and high-heeled Spanish slippers. Eighteen years old, married, and dead; and muy querida, much beloved!
To imperil her life as well? No. He must make a desperate struggle to get out of the enclosure, to reach the open country if possible, and then His thoughts went no farther. He cried out "Querida, farewell! I must leave you do not despair. If I die, I shall carry your love to heaven! Farewell, farewell!"
The alferez knew that his mate dressed ridiculously and had the appearance of what is known as a "querida of the soldiers," so he did not care to expose her to the gaze of strangers and persons from the capital. But she did not so understand it.
