CHAPTER TX
We will now leap over about two
months. and invite the reader to accom-
pany us to the heart of Mexico. TO the
capital. Half-past nine was striking by
the cathedral clock at the moment "hen
a dull sound resembling the rustling OF
reeds shaken by the wind was audible on
the gigantic highway joining the city to
mainland This sound soon become more
distinct, and changed into the trampling
of horses, which was deadened By the
damp air and the ground, softened oy a
heightened rain. a black mass emerged
from the fog, and two horsemen wrapped
in thick cloaks stood out distinctly in the
moonlight.
These horsemen seemed to have made
long journey. They at last reached 10"
rooted house through whose dirty panes
doubtful light issued, which showed that
the inhabitants were still awake
The horsemen stopped before this
house, which was an inn, and without
dismounting one of them gave the door
two or three kicks and called the host IN
a loud, sharp voice. The latter was IN
no hurry 10 answer. and would have PROB

dog is resolved not to open, l will send

This menace had scarce been uttered
ere the door opened as if by enchantmen'
and the landlord appeared on the thresh'
old.

what a distinguished caballero did me the
honor of stopping before my humble
dwelling. l should have FASTENED to open.
