RICHMOND RODEO Then, insolently, he puffed a cloud of smoke in the face of Don Carlos. Suddenly Don Pedro awoke to the fact that he was reclin- ing on the floor, spitting out fragments of cigarette, which had been propelled into his mouth by a well directed blow from the fist of Caravantez. Enraged beyond endurance, he sprang up and whipped out a revolver. There was a lightning like move- ment of Caravantez’s hand, a sharp report—and Don Pedro reeled and fell. The music stopped; the dancers came to a standstill, and the whole hall assumed a death-like silence. Then cries of astonishment and rage came from the assem- bly and there was a rush toward the prostrate body of Don Pedro. Breaking through the throng of people, Caravantez walked calmly to the center of the hall where Felicia was standing alone, a look of cold accusation on her awe-stricken face. ‘‘There was no other way,’’ he said simply. ‘‘He attacked me.’’ Felicia drew from him in horror. ‘‘Madre de Dios! You have murdered him! Never come near me again.’’ The stir in the room was increasing; the friends of Don Pedro were many and powerful. Caravantez, with a deep sigh, bowed low to her. Then looking to his pistol he dashed for the door. The sharp beat of horse’s hoofs were heard outside—then Silence. Carlos Caravantez rode to the hills—an outcast. —BUFORD WRIGHT, ’09.

iy H i Mi Sin RICHMOND RODEO ‘‘T have to get another horse, Felicia. This one is far too spirited,’’ said the aunt. x x It was the week of the great festivities at San Pablo, held yearly in honor of Mexico’s independence from Spain. Elab- orate preparations had been made. There would be no principal event during the week, unless it was the speeches of General Castro and other men of note, or the grand dance at the finish. Beside these there would be pull fighting, barbecues, horse races, gambling, drinking, dancing and murder. Rich and poor, peons and blue bloods, came from San Fran- cisco, San Jose, Monterey, and every other town within two or three hundred miles. They came to test the swiftness of their horses, their capacity as wine barrels, and the length of time their money would stay in their pockets at the gambling table. There were senoras and senoritas dressed in their flow- ing silks of many hues, and the young and the old gallants in their wide-brimmed sombreros, their flaring colzonazos, and their high heeled boots. On the evening of the grand dance, Caravantez, dressed in his flashiest attire, rode to the dance, and upon entering came face to face with Don Pedro, who sneeringly said, ‘‘Ho, gaudy peon; there are no servants allowed at this dance.’’ ‘‘You had better leave before anyone sees you, then,’’ said Caravantez in a modulated voice, as he brushed by the Don. Don Pedro had enjoyed the first dance with Senorita Fer- nandez. Then as the music began again he watched her glide away with another. She and her partner stopped at the end of the hall where Caravantez was lounging and chatted a mo- ment with him. Don Pedro’s suit had not been prospering of late. Muttering a curse and drawing fiercely at his cigarette, he strolled to the end of the room where Caravantez stood. 13
