CHAPTER XXII—FAITHFUL AND TRUE 

Late that afternoon Arthur and Louise sat in the court, chatting with their guests, who were occupied in coddling and amusing baby Jane, when Inez approached Mr. Weldon and said that Miguel wished to speak with him. 

“Send him here,” said Arthur, and presently the old Mexican appeared, again arrayed in his best clothes and with the red necktie carefully arranged. He held his hat in his hand and looked uncertainly around the circle. Then his eyes wandered to the nursery and through the open door he saw Mildred sitting in a rocker, engaged in reading a book. Runyon had gone home that morning, “to see if the ranch is still there,” he said. 

“I have—some—private talks to make, Meest Weld,” began the old ranchero. 

“Speak out, Miguel,” said his master encouragingly. 

“Oh; but he said ‘private,’” Patsy reminded him. 

“I know. Miguel understands that he may speak before my friends.” 

“It ees—about—Señor Cristoval, Meest Weld.” 

“Yes? Well, what about him, Miguel?” 

“I am once servant for Señor Cristoval. I stay here in house with him, long time. When he get sick, before he die, I care for him. Doctor say to me that Señor Cristoval can not get well; I say so to Señor Cristoval. He say never mind, he have live long enough.” 

This was interesting to them all in view of the recent happenings, and the girls bent nearer to hear the old man’s story. Arthur, the major and Uncle John were equally intent.  QUESTIONS:
