"But, when you saw it four years ago, did it not recall anything to your memory?" "No, nothing." "Nothing?" repeated the Canadian, interrogatively, and in a despairing tone. "Nothing more than this same dream, which I have mistaken no doubt for reality." Bois-Rose again resumed his attitude of melancholy, and remained silent.
"Child," cried Bois-Rose, "do you not see that every one is here for himself, and yet that our three interests are but one? When for the second time, God sent you to my arms, were we not already pursuing the man who was ruining your hopes, and had already assassinated your mother, and stolen your name?
If we fall, God himself, when we appear before him, cannot reproach us with the sacrifice of his life, since we risked our own for the common good." "No," replied Bois-Rose; "but let us still hope in that God, who re-united us by a miracle; what does not happen to-day, may to-morrow; we have time before us before our provisions fail.
"I have good reasons to know Elanchovi but there's no time to talk of it now; I will settle that business by-and-by, for it's a secret you can't comprehend without my help. So indeed it is the young count, and you have found him again! Well that's enough at present. Now, Bois-Rose, forward! You take to the right of where the shot came from, while this young man and I go to the left.
So saying, Bois-Rose rose slowly, like the eagle who agitates before completely unfolding his wings those powerful wings the rapid flight of which will soon bring him down to the plain. "Senor Don Estevan," said Pedro Diaz, "I think we should return to the camp." Don Antonio hesitated a moment. The counsel was good, but it was too late to follow it.
"Let us have done with this trifling," cried the sonorous voice of Bois-Rose, whose generosity made him averse to profit by his advantages, and who scrupled always to shed blood if he could avoid it. "You have heard that we wish no harm to any but your chief, and you must make up your mind to let us take him. Retire then willingly, if you do not wish us to treat you as we intend to treat him."
This man, in seeking the enemies whom they were pursuing, had reached the bank of the river, and concealed by the willows, had perceived three white men. These three men could only be Bois-Rose, Pepe the Spaniard, and Fabian de Mediana. It was indeed this trio of friends.
"Did you not remark how a few hours ago the whole islet trembled under our hands when we tore away some branches to fortify ourselves with, and how you yourself made it shake just now? well, I thought once of making a raft, but now I believe we three can uproot the whole island and set it floating. The fog is thick, the night dark and to-morrow " "We shall be far from here!" cried Bois-Rose.
"God," cried Bois-Rose, solemnly, "who commands the breeze to waft across the desert the fertilising seeds of the male palm to the female date-tree God, who confides to the wind which destroys, to the devastating torrent, or to the bird of passage, the grain which is to be deposited a thousand miles from the plant that produced it is he not also able to send upon the same path two human beings made in his image?"
The Apaches hold in their toils a whole camp of southern warriors." "So much the worse for the gold-seekers," said Bois-Rose. "If the warriors of the north will join the Indians with their long rifles, they shall share the horses and the treasures of the men of the south; the Indians and the whites will dance together round the corpses of their enemies, and the ashes of their camp."
