y scatter in all directions, pursuing the few fugitives hiding
in the brush. Demetrio aims; he does not waste a single shot.

His famous marksmanship fills him with joy. Where he settles his
glance, he settles a bullet. He loads his gun once more ... takes
aim....

The smoke of the guns hangs thick in the air. Locusts chant their
mysterious, imperturbable song. Doves coo lyrically in the crannies of
the rocks. The cows graze placidly.

The sierra is clad in gala colors. Over its inaccessible peaks the
opalescent fog settles like a snowy veil on the forehead of a bride.

At the foot of a hollow, sumptuous and huge as the portico of an old
cathedral, Demetrio Macias, his eyes leveled in an eternal glance,
continues to point the barrel of his gun.
