"Mi Primavera," My Springtime, how well her father's pet name suited her! John wondered why he had not transferred it to her when she told him the story of the naming of Spring street. "Do tell us, Mr. Carrillo," he begged. "Consuello has already told me how Spring street was named. Old stories, old homes, the old names of old streets charm me."
Returning to his desk after the conference in the "chief's" office on the story told by "Big Jim" Hatch, John found a sheet of copy paper stuck in the roller of his typewriter. That was the office boy's way of leaving memoranda of telephone calls for the reporters. "Call Miss Carrillo at the studio," John read. He went immediately to the telephone booth.
This was a piece of rare good fortune for Apolinaria, for Senor Carrillo was noted for his kind heart to all inferiors; and with this family she found a home than which none could have been happier in the whole colony.
An hour suffices to drive up the "caballada," and remount the bandits at any friendly interior ranch. Obstinate silence is all the roadside dwellers' return to questions. Valois cons over the bloody record of the last two years. The desperate crimes begin with Andres Armijo and Tomas Maria Carrillo. They were unyielding ex-soldiers. Both of these have been run to earth.
Not long after this Senor Carrillo was called to Santa Barbara to take command of the presidio, and knowing he should be kept there for many months, perhaps years, he decided to move his family to this new place of activity, and make it his future home. Apolinaria alone, of all the household, was averse to the change.
It was only necessary for him to mention his name. "Miss Carrillo asks that you be directed to her dressing room," the gateman said. With one exception the automobiles were already occupied. John recognized the cameramen with their equipment piled in one of the cars.
Well, you must have been mixing in proper. I wish I'd known Gibson was out there. Brennan, here, has been trying to find him all afternoon. You don't happen to know where he is now, do you?" "I saw him leave." "Alone?" "No, there was someone with him in his car." "Who was it?" Brennan asked. "Miss Consuello Carrillo," John answered, puzzled by this cross-examination.
As this recollection came into his mind, it also occurred to him that his mother had never volunteered to say anything of Consuello after her visit to their home the previous Sunday. "Mother, dear," he said, "tell me, did you like Miss Carrillo?" He felt that the question was almost unnecessary and asked it casually. He was surprised when she hesitated before answering.
The rebels then sent Padres Ordaz and Tapia to Santa Inés to warn Sergeant Carrillo not to come or the families would be killed. Before an answer was received, the soldiers and their families were permitted to retire to Santa Inés, while Padre Rodriguez remained, the Indians being kindly disposed towards him. Four white men were killed in the fight, and seven Indians.
