"Thanks!" he said, on seeing them.
"You ordered me to come, so I obeyed as usual," the Tigrero answered.
"You were right, my friend."
"And now what do you want of us?"
"That you should accompany me to the place whither I am going at this moment."
"Would it be indiscreet to ask you——"
"Where?" the hunter interrupted him with a laugh.
"Not at all; I am going to lead you, Doña Anita, and the persons here present, to the capilla in which General Guerrero is confined."
"The capilla?" the Tigrero exclaimed in amazement, "for what purpose?"
"What does that concern you? The general has requested to see you, and you cannot refuse the request of a man who has but a few hours left to live."
