In fact, I won't come back till I can." He kept his word. They heard from him at Guadalupe. For months after the Texan had ridden away there came from upriver, almost regularly, choice bits of game from Bowie-saddles of venison and elk; Canadian geese, mallard ducks and, not infrequently, pelts, from the north, of the silver-tipped fox. Of these there were always two, soft tanned and deep piled, for the Dona and her daughter.

When the danger had passed he confessed he had greatly feared infection. ‘‘But I should have known better," he said one day. "Texans are strong blooded. You may be discharged from my care, let us see-it is four weeks. You are a lucky man, Senor Bowie. What will you do now?'' This was the question that was being asked in the Estrada family. After prolonged discussions in which Padre Martinez was consulted Don Ramon spoke to Bowie. **You have come to California to live. You mean to go upriver to join Captain Sutter. I have something better. If you will become major-domo of Rancho Guadalupe I will make you a rich man." Bowie thanked Don Ramon but shook his head. ‘I would rather be free, Don Ramon. I have always been free. A Texan just naturally hates to be tied down. Besides, I want to see more of this country. It is very wonderful. And - who knows? I might be called back to Texas."' Don Ramon did not press his offer. ‘‘As you will, senor. Remember, you are always welcome, with your friends, at Guadalupe. And if you honor us again with your company I shall be careful not to you into any more bear traps. have saved my life." lead You Don Francisco proved too good a prophet. The horse-stealing Indians did grow bolder. Their depredations increased, and they raided the big ranchos with less fear of consequences. Every young Californian along the foothills was angry. They demanded something be done by the soldiers at the mission or the presidio. But the authorities were indolent. Following minor depredations at Rancho Pinole, the Indians, emboldened, ran off, one dark night, every saddle horse on the place. Don Jose Martinez and his son had to borat Ramon Don horses from row Guadalupe. The neighbors were infuriated. They organized a party and set out to recover the horses and chastise the thieves. Don Francisco of Guadalupe was chosen captain. The posse was in the saddle early vaqueros two and morning, next tracked the marauders through the hills to a canyon in the mountains where, toward evening, they charged the Indians in a surprise attack.

As the leader of his little band, Don Francisco was the last to wheel from the scene of battle. The youngster was fearless beyond his years. Unhappily, as he spurred after his comrades, an arrow struck him beFor a moment tween the shoulders. he swayed in his saddle, but before he had galloped a hundred yards, striving to cling to his horse, he pitched forward headlong tv the ground. A score of Indian horsemen in hot pursuit yelled in triumph as he fell. His companions turned to attempt a rescue. But the fighting line of pursuers had already passed the fallen Don, and the pitifully few Californians were driven back It was nearing midnight when a clattering of hoofs was heard outside. Carmen, in the living room, was still trying to comfort her mother; Don Ramon sat gazing into the dying fire. He had smoked a final cigar and given himself over to painful thoughts. At the sound of horsemen he stirred and, answering a rapping on the door, rose to his feet, answering, ‘‘Adelante!'? Don Ramon thought some of the neighbors had returned. The visitor strode somewhat forward and spoke easily in Spanish. "You do not remember me, Don Ramon. It is more than a year since I have seen you. I am Henry Bowie, the Texan." The Don's gloomy features lightened. "Senor!" he cried. ‘Who could be more welcome? I am only sorry that you find us grief stricken."' Bowie why raised I am his hand. here.

Except for that, I like the rainy night. Sabe?" "Si, senor." The others of the party were cautioned to stick close together, to make no noise and not to attempt to light pipes. The faintest light of dawn, penetrating the leaden sky and the driving rain, found the rescuers riding fast. They reached the canyon entrance an hour later, but the high walls shut out the added daylight, and utmost caution was threading the winding re- cesses. Pedro suddenly halted and waited for Bowie to come up. ‘‘Here is the place, senor," he whispered, pointing to a sharp rock that jutted well up from the canyon floor. ‘‘The fight was foot." spoke He to Pardaloe and Sim- mie. ‘Pedro and I will work ahead, Ben," he explained.
