CHAPTER IL

The Tigrero had let his head fall on
his chest again. and seemed engaged with
gloomy thoughts. The hunter, somewhat
embarrassed by the turn the conversation
had taken. and anxious to continue it,
mechanically stirred up. 1.-THE fire.
Stay" he said. presently. as he thrust
hack with his foot a few embers that had
rolled out; pardon me. sir, any insult
which my exclamation may seem TO have
contained You have mistaken my mean
not such strangers as you suppose.
have known you for long time"
The Tigrero raised his head and looked
at the hunter incredulously.
"You?" he muttered.
"Yes. l. and it will not be difficult to
prove il to you"
What good will it do?" he murmured:
what interest can l have in the fact Of
your knowing mef
Valentine reflected for a moment, and
then went on as follows:
.'Some months ago. in consequence Of
circumstances unnecessary to remind you
of. but which you doubtless bear in mind,
YOU met at the colony of Guetzalh a
TpnCuEldu Nuu q hAAlcA. win
whom you eventually stood on most init
mate terms.
ut is true" the Tigrero replied, 'the
Frenchman to whom you sllude is the
Count de Prebois GRANGE OH shall
never be able to discharge the debt Of
gratitude l have contracted with him."
A sad smile curled the hunters lip.
.'You no longer owe him anything he
said.
'vhat do you mean?" the Tigrero e1-
claimed eagerly; surely the count can
not be dead :"
He is dead, caballero. He was as
sassinated on the shores Of Gusyamas.
His murderers laid him in his tomb. and
his blood. so treacherously shed, cries for
vengeance"
The hunter hurriedly wiped away the
tears he had been unable TO repress while
speaking of the count, and went on in
voice choked by the internal emotion
which he strove in vain TO conquer:
but let us, for the present, leave this
sad "reminiscences TO slumber in our hearts,
The count was my friend. my dearest
friend. more than a brother to me- he
often spoke about you to me. and several
times told me your gloomy history. which
terminated in frightful catastrophe.
The Tigrero, in few moments, began
his narrative as follows:
my friends must have fancied me
dead. You are aware that l was at
tackled by Black Bear just as | believed
| had saved friends. We fought on the
edge of a pit and l was just about to
finish him when the Comanche war cry
was heard. Startled, let the Indian go,
he rushed at Dona Anita, member Of
the party, who, however. repulsed him.
He fell backward in the direction OF the
pit, ciutching me, and down we went TO-
gether."
Go on" the hunter said, II am listen
ing to you with the greatest attention.
The Indian was desperately wounded
and It was . corpse that dragged me
