The horses, as well as Monica, seemed to know the trail and at length brought within sight a group of buildings, one of which was surmounted by a cross.

He tried his sign language. It was a passport with any tribe east of the Sierras, but not here. With all three chattering at the same time, Monica took the children down to the river, washed their faces vigorously with only sand for soap, talking excitedly while this went on. The men had dismounted, hobbled the horses and turned them out on the grass that bordered the banks, and made ready to camp.

"Because, he went on in broken English, "you have done an inestimable charity to my dearest friends. None but a humane, an honorable, man would have endangered his life to rescue the helpless prisoners of these unhappy savages and now depart without asking or expecting recompense. Bowie laughed. "Padre, you forget Indians mean Indians wherever and however found, are poison to Texans. The priest spoke on. "i forgel nothing, my son; I take nothing back.

The padre, with a smile, raised his hand. Please! Slow! We are Tejanos, Bowie nodded. Padre cannot speak Spanish. We took these girls from Indians a war party in the Sierras. Do you know these youngsters? I know The padre nodded fast. them much, much. Haltingly and brokenly he related to Bowie and his companions the story of the raiding of Los Alamos and the burning of the rancho. With little difficulty the Texan followed and comprehended just how he and his men had chanced on the fleeing warriors and robbed them at least It was of their human victims. not the first time, the padre said sadly, that Spanish girls and women had been carried away by bad Indians raiding the ranchos. And rarely had rescue parties, however expeditious or well equipped, been able to recover the unhappy captives if the raiders could reach the high mountains first And, he added, victims of their these savagery had been made creatures to the chiefs so it had been learned from neophytes. The southern Indians. he added, were even more warlike and ferocious than the tribes about the northern missions. These wretches were Quemayas or Both had been scourges of their missions and settlers for sixty years or more. And now, he asked in conclusion, raising his hands as he regarded the orphans with a world of pity, what shall be done? Monica, he said in Spanish, you know the quarters for the unmarried women. Take the children and find lodging for them and for yourself for the night. In the morning we shall see. When the three had left the room the padre explained to Bowie that he could not speak freely before the innocent victims of the savages or disclose that these had murdered their father. He added that the mother was at San Diego at the home of a relative and that her son, brother to the little ones, was with her He suggested that the Tejanos, supplied with a guard of soldiers from the mission, take the rescued In the morning girls to San Diego to i ceive the thanks and gratitude their mother and relatives. of Where, he doubted not, a generous reward would in part recompense them for the dangers they had incurred in battling the savages and for the hardships incurred in reto their storing the precious ones family. despairing Bovue listened carefully.
