Jose Sanchez swears an Oath.


Jose Sanchez made use of the delay
at Pueblo to institute further Inquiries
regarding his missing cousin, but no.
where could he find the slightest trace.
Jose swore an oath that he would learn
the truth If It required his whole life
time, and, If 1t should turn out that
his salnted relative had indeed met
with foul play-welll Jose told his
friends they could judge, by looking at
him, the sort Of man he was. He proud
ly displayed LonGorio's revolver, and
called It his cousins little avenger. The
weapon had slain many; 1t had duty
still to perform, so he said.
Jose intended to confde his purpose
to Mrs. Austin, but when Il came time
to start for Las Palmus there was a
fourth passenger IN the automobile,
and he was Obliged TO hold his tongue
for the moment Alaire was in good
humor, and expressed her relief at
escaping from everything Mexican.

confded.

laid her hand upon his arm, saying:
