Chapter 40 MATEO 'T'HE guards lassoed the first roan to bolt from line, threw him flat on nil face, and beat his back raw with their whips. Afterwards they threw him Inside the threshold, since bs was not able to walk, and over that prone body the rest of the con demned stumbled. Once Inside, each man made for a bunk, In a desperate scramble. These bunks rose In tiers of five deep, with narrow aisles between them. The swiftest or the strongest took the lowest bunks, not because they were simply easier to reach, but because during the night the foul tench of humanity kept rising In the air. But many who lagged too far be hind In the general rush got no place whatever for the night. And most of those who failed were the men who bad been In the valley so long that the labor, the climate, the frightful food, had worn them to a frail shell. They would die soon. What the trlar could made him drop to his kneel. lie was (till praying when a bull-toned voice bellowed through tbe room: "Who says that a friar Is hereT Who says that a big man, a giant, a priest or a friar, Is here with us?" The friar leaped from bis prayer to his feet. "Mateo!" he cried. He heard a grunting answer, and then the thumping of heavy foot falls. Towards that sound he hurried In turn. And suddenly the tremen dous grasp of Mateo Ilubrli was on him. He put bis huge arms around tbe bandit and crushed him with an embrace. It was like hugging a huge, rounded barrel. "How bare they brought you bere? The dog Estrada was It he T Answer me, brother Mateo my friend "I came with El Keed, to And you, lllateo." "To and met Herat You came wllllnglyt Willingly do you say, paacual ?" "Ay, willingly." "And El Keed he Is heret Where b bet" "In tbe bands of Juan-Sllva." "San Juan of Caplstrano, forget II my prayers. Remomber only this last one let the hands of El Keed close on the windpipe of tbe devil, Juan-Sllval" Rubris began to beat bis breast with bis great, bands. "What have I done that God should be so good to me?" be said. He recovered his voice a little and want on: "But I told you I have always told you, Pascual that the saints had marked me out for a great thing. Otherwise, why should they have given me two such friends as you and El Keed?" Mateo cried out as though in pain. "Now I am ready to die!" be said. "It would be bettor to pray, brother," said the friar, "Pray for El Keed!" "1 shall pray," said Mateo Rubrli. "And yet I have a better hope than prayer. For the three of us what fools they were to let tho three of us come Into this one valley! We hall find things to do. Do you doubt that?" "I know that the mind of El Keed Is never quiet. It stirs even at night 1 bsve beard him call out softly In bis sleep. Sometimes of horses, sometltnos of guns, or of gaming, or the name of a gringo girl or Koslta!" "May a curse" began Rubris. "Peace, brother." commanded the friar, with a certain austerity, "She UNIVERSITY OP OriBaOJI. Eugene. (5pl.)
