"I shall join General Bambos in his war against Yozarro, and we'll make him pay dear for his deviltry." "Do you prefer the friendship of General Bambos to that of General Yozarro?" "I don't care a picayune for either, but I will use one against the other." "You forget that there is no choice between the good will of the two. When you came up the forked river you first called at Zalapata."
"Ah-um!" mused the American, who picked up a pencil from the table and made a few figures on a blotting pad; "the present value of a peso is twenty-eight cents. That would make the total damage eleven dollars and seventy-six cents in the currency of my country. Does President Yozarro refuse to pay this claim?"
Jack will find it out within twenty-four hours, and General Yozarro must know what will happen then." "Dearest Warrenia, you do not see as much in this as I. What stronger proof can I give of my love to you than to say that we must separate and you must leave this part of the world with the least possible delay? Your own loveliness is your peril.
"No need of that; I have questioned him; I know that your real business with General Yozarro was to meet the Señorita, your sister, and I know all that Martella knows." "And what is that?" "Señoritas Starland and Estacardo were passengers on the boat, but ten miles down the river they went ashore, and, under the escort of two soldiers, set out for the summer home of General Yozarro."
"Señor the Major may have been right when he said my desertion would not be known for several days, but he mistook when he thought I had made no mention of it. I told Valentin Herrera, the engineer of the gunboat, before I left; I asked him to tell General Yozarro with word from me that if I ever gained a chance I should kill him just as surely as he killed my brother.
"We shall not, if such proves to be the fact; but if there are more, it is not well to attack until that is the only means left. It will be little trouble for Martella to learn the truth." "Do you mean that he shall make himself known?" "If necessary; what objection is there to that?" "He is a deserter from the service of General Yozarro, who will show him no mercy if he once lays hand on him."
"I think it is the smoke of the gunboat," said the Señorita; "General Yozarro means to come to the Castle over the same course we followed." They looked long and anxiously, but the horizontal streak of vapor gradually faded without bringing the craft into view. The tug had steamed in the opposite direction, or there had been a change of mind and the fires were banked or allowed to go out.
Thinking he might appear again the two watched the spot for the following half hour, during which he was not seen again. Then, looking in the direction of Atlamalco they were unable to detect any trace of the finger of smoke which had faded out and which they thought might come to view again. "General Yozarro may have sailed further up the river," suggested the Señorita.
The novelty of her experience was its chief enjoyment to Miss Rowland, who found a thrill in the life, with its conditions the opposite of those to which she had always been accustomed. She and her aunt were received into the household of General Yozarro, who immediately became their humble slave.
If General Yozarro finds fault with him, it will be just like Captain Ortega to say right before all the other officers 'I gave you a chance, but you had not the courage to use it and I would not waste any more effort on you." None of the three could make a satisfactory forecast of the policy of General Yozarro.
