sprawling far out into the gravel.

The celestial addressed him
humbly. and Torres, in his general
rage. lifted his riding whip
savagely to slash him across the
face. But vi Peon did not quail.
The Senorita Leoncia," he said
quickly, and arrested the blow. 'I
have great secret" Torres waited.
the whip still lifted as a threat.

that very nice Senorita Leoncia?"
