What
,
señor
!
"
exclaimed
the
lady
,
in
evident
astonishment
,
"
exchange
your
grand
American
frison
for
a
Mexican
mustang
!
The
offer
is
too
generous
to
appear
other
than
a
jest
.
You
know
that
on
the
Rio
Grande
one
of
your
horses
equals
in
value
at
least
three
,
sometimes
six
,
of
ours
?
"
Calhoun
knew
this
well
enough
;
but
he
knew
also
that
the
mustang
ridden
by
Isidora
would
be
to
him
worth
a
whole
stableful
of
such
brutes
as
that
he
was
bestriding
.
He
had
been
an
eye-witness
to
its
speed
,
besides
having
heard
of
it
from
others
.
It
was
the
thing
he
stood
in
need
of
--
the
very
thing
.
He
would
have
given
,
not
only
his
"
grand
frison
"
in
exchange
,
but
the
full
price
of
the
mustang
by
way
of
"
boot
.
"
Fortunately
for
him
,
there
was
no
attempt
at
extortion
In
the
composition
of
the
Mexican
maiden
,
however
much
she
might
be
given
to
equestrian
tastes
,
there
was
not
much
of
the
"
coper
.
"
With
five
thousand
horses
in
the
paternal
stables
,
or
rather
straying
over
the
patrimonial
plains
,
there
was
but
slight
motive
for
sharp
practice
;
and
why
should
she
deny
such
trifling
gratification
,
even
though
the
man
seeking
it
was
a
stranger
--
perhaps
an
enemy
?
She
did
not
.
"
If
you
are
in
earnest
,
señor
,
"
was
her
response
,
"
you
are
welcome
to
what
you
want
.
"
"
I
am
in
earnest
,
señorita
.
"
"
Take
him
,
then
!
"
said
she
,
leaping
out
of
her
saddle
,
and
commencing
to
undo
the
girths
,
"
We
can
not
exchange
saddles
:
yours
would
be
a
mile
too
big
for
me
!
"
Calhoun
was
too
happy
to
find
words
for
a
rejoinder
.
He
hastened
to
assist
her
in
removing
the
saddle
;
after
which
he
took
off
his
own
.
In
less
than
five
minutes
the
horses
were
exchanged
--
the
saddles
and
bridles
being
retained
by
their
respective
owners
.
