  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."
