by Mariano Azuela
Everything was still swathed in shadows as Demetrio
Macias began his descent to the bottom of the ravine.
Between rocks striped with huge eroded cracks, and a
squarely cut wall, with the river flowing below, a narrow
ledge along the steep incline served as a mountain trail.
"They'll surely find me now," he mused. "It's a good
thing they know nothing about the trails and paths up
here But if they got someone from Moyahua to guide
them..." He left the thought unfinished. "All the men
from Limon or Santa Rosa or the other nearby ranches
are on our side: they wouldn't try to trail us. That cacique
who's chased and run me ragged over these hills, is at
Mohayua now; he'd give his eyeteeth to capture me."
At dawn, he approached the pit of the canyon. Here, he
lay on the rocks and fell asleep.
