CHAPTER XXVII
A week later Ramon was driving across the _mesa_ west of town, bound forthe state capital. He was following the same route that Diego Delcasar hadfollowed on the day of his death, and he passed within a few miles ofArchulera's ranch; but no thought either of his uncle or of Archuleraentered his mind.

"Meet you at the southwest corner of the Plaza Tuesday at seven thirty.
"Love,
"J. R."
