Had he imperilled all, brought danger on himself and Ramona, by yielding to this mad impulse to look once more inside the walls of his home? With a fearful oath, the half-drunken man exclaimed, "One of those damned Indians, I expect. I've seen several hangin' round to-day.
I myself see the changes even day by day. Troubles tell on me as they did not when I was younger. Even within the last twenty-four hours I seem to myself to have aged frightfully;" and she looked keenly at Felipe as she seated herself in the arm-chair where poor Ramona had swooned a few hours before.
Nobody will hinder your doing what you please; but, dear, I wish you would not go away from us!" Tearing the paper into small fragments, Ramona thrust them into her bosom, to be destroyed later.
Ramona turned her steady glance full on Margarita's face. "You would not be any happier if she were deceived, do you think?" she said gravely. "O Senorita, after it is mended? If it really does not show?" pleaded the girl. "I will tell her myself, and not till after it is mended," said Ramona; but she did not smile.
Waiting is the only safe thing. Alessandro said, to wait here. He will come." The word "Alessandro" was plain. Yes, Alessandro had said, wait; Carmena was right. She would obey, but it was a fearful ordeal. It was strange how Ramona, who felt herself preternaturally brave, afraid of nothing, so long as Alessandro was by her side, became timorous and wretched the instant he was lost to her sight.
"She's a good little boat, all right," said Jack, who knew something of motor craft. "So I perceive. And now, if you will allow me to use it on behalf of the government, we will try to catch the Ramona." "Is there really a chance of doing that?" asked Cora, in her eagerness laying her hand on the sleeve of the young officer. "There really is," was his answer.
And thus vanished the last chance of succor for Ramona; vanished in a moment; blown like a thistledown on a chance breath, the breath of a loyal, loving friend, speaking a lie to save her. Distraught with grief, Felipe returned home. Ramona had been very ill when she left home. Had she died, and been buried by the lonely, sorrowing Alessandro?
"Nothing whatever." "Then as long as Ramona is here, everything will be just as it always has been?" said Felipe. The Senora smiled sadly. "Dear Felipe, do you think that possible?
Ramona, riding up, held out her hand, saying, as she did so, "Ysidro?" Pleased, yet surprised, at this confident and assured greeting, Ysidro saluted her, and turning to Alessandro, said in their own tongue, "Who is this woman whom you bring, that has heard my name?" "My wife!" answered Alessandro, in the same tongue. "We were married last night by Father Gaspara.
"Say, I bumped into something big this mornin' when I was goin' to fetch Ramona," Billy said, the clay pit trouble banished for the time. "You know the hundred an' forty. I passed young Chavon along the road, an' I don't know why just for ducks, I guess I up an' asked 'm if he thought the old man would lease the hundred an' forty to me. An' what d 'you think! He said the old man didn't own it.
