The Indian servant woman came softly to the door. "Does the Senora wish anything?"
"No, thank you, Ynez; come and sit down."
Noiselessly the woman seated herself on the top step.
"It has been warm to-day, Ynez."
"Si, Senora."
"It is nearly three weeks since Mr. Worth left with Texas Joe for San
Felipe, Ynez."
"Si, Senora."
"Do you know how far it is across the Desert to San Felipe?"
"Si. I think three—four day, maybe five, Senora."
"It will be very hot."
