Pete knew Spanish he had heard little else spoken in Concho and he thought that "Joseph of the Cross" was a strange name for a recognized gunman. "But Mexicans always stick crosses over graves," soliloquized Pete. "Mebby that's why he's got that fancy name. Gee! But this sure beats tendin' store!"

"You want me to perjure myself and you 'want me to do it quick," she mimicked.
