“Precisely of that individual.”

“What news? Have they seen him?”

“No, not exactly him, but his trail. They have discovered his lair, and know where he is at this moment.”

“Good!” exclaimed Vizcarra and Roblado.

“They can find him at any time.”

“Excellent!”

“Pues, cavalleros; that is my news at your service. Use it to your advantage, if you can.”

“Dear padré!” replied Vizcarra, “yours is a wiser head than ours. You know the situation of affairs. Our troopers cannot catch this villain. How would you advise us to act?”

The padré felt nattered by this confidence.
