The parrot, her claws wide apart, her brilliant -rudder tilting to balance her gray body, industriously snapped at -the blossoms. One secured at last, she turned slowly about and, with -infinite care, let it drop upon the open pages of Padre Alonzo's book. - -The padre brushed the flower away and glanced up. - -"_Buenos días, señor!_" clacked Loretta; "_buenos días! buenos días! -buenos días!_" - -"Good-day to thyself," retorted the padre. He spoke in Spanish, shaking -a stout finger. "And tear not the flowers again. They be the last of -the kind till after the New Year. So take warning, I say, lest thou -find thyself thrust without the garden." - -Loretta recognized displeasure in his voice. She mumbled an inquiring -"_Ga-a-wk! ga-a-wk!_" and shifted thoughtfully from foot to foot. But, -presently, the padre having resumed his reading, she turned once more -to catch at the swaying branch. - -When a second fuchsia came fluttering down to his hand, Padre Alonzo -uncrossed his sandals and rose. "Oh! oh! oh!" he cried, wagging his -close-cropped head so vigorously that the very beads of his rosary -tinkled together. "Thou art the naughtiest bird in all of California! -What if Padre Anzar finds thee despoiling his plant? He will put thee -again where thou must fight to keep thy feathers--in the kitchen with -the cats!" - -At the mention of cats a startling change came over the parrot. Her -plumage ruffled, her eyes began to roll, she straightened on the perch, -uttering hoarse cries of fear and defiance. - -"Then be good," he counselled, "be good. Or off thou'lt likely go. -Me-e-ow! me-e-ow!" - -And now Loretta moved nearer, anxious for friendly terms. "_Dame la -mano_," she suggested; "_a-a-aw, dame la mano! A-a-aw! a-a-aw!_" She -balanced tremblingly on one leg, curling the other under her. - -Padre Alonzo put the stout finger into the proffered claw. "So, so," -he said. "And I shall not tattle. But tell me: What would make thee -forget to use thy sharp pruning shears? An apple? or seeds? or one of -Gabrielda's sweet bis--" - -Loretta perked her head to one side. "_To-o-ny, To-o-ny, To-o-ny_," she -droned coaxingly. - -The padre thrust his thumbs under the white cord of his girdle and -broke into a guffaw. "Thou jade!" he teased. "Wilt have Tony, eh? Well, -I go to find him." He gathered in his brown cassock, preparatory to -stepping over the cacti here bordering the garden path. "But look you, -if he comes, scrape not the gilt from the wires of his pretty cage." - -Another threatening shake of the finger, and the padre crossed the low, -spiked hedge and waddled away through the sun. - -When he came into sight a moment later round the dun wall of the -mission, he carried a canary at his shoulder. "E-oo, e-oo," he cooed, -pattering forward. "Loretta wishes thy company. Sst! sst! She is bad -after thee, Tony! But be wary, little one, be wary." - -The advice was wholly ignored. For, spying the parrot, Tony was -instantly transformed from a silent, dumpy ball of yellow to a slim, -dapper songster with a swelling throat. - -Loretta greeted him with uproarious laughter, and a jargon of Spanish, -patois, but triumphant. She paced the horizontal piece that gave her -perch the form of a cross. She _pu-r-red_ and _gu-r-red_. She swung by -her curved beak and one leathery foot, shrilling her "_Buenos días, -señor!_" Then, as the padre hung the cage to a nail in the trellis -built against the wall, she changed her performance to the clamorous -repeating of a mass. - -Padre Alonzo was shocked. "Sst! sst!" he chided; "thou wicked big-ears!" - -The noon angelus was ringing. He caught up book and gown. But before -going he pulled at Loretta's gaudy tail, not unkindly, and chuckled as -she edged toward Tony with many a naïve and fetching cock of her gray -head. - -[Illustration] - - - - -II - - -High at the garden's centre, nailed to a massive tree of wood, stood -out the Sacrifice. From behind, fir and pine thrust their long green -boughs, as if eager to screen that torn and unclad shape. From below, -jasmine and geranium, carnation and rose, sent upward an unfailing -incense. - -That way, in the heat of mid-afternoon, came Padre Anzar. Thin-lipped -he was, and hollow-eyed. In one hand he held a trowel, in the other a -knife. Down the front of his brown cassock, mingling at knee height -with red brick-stains from the chapel floor, were touches of fresh -earth. Anzar the priest was for the moment Anzar the gardener. - -He walked slowly, here stooping to right a stalk or jerk a weed, there -stretching to pick a fading orange leaf from where it marred the -glaucous sheen of its fellows. Fronting the figure, he paused long -enough to whisper a prayer and make the holy sign. Then he rambled on, -busy with trowel and blade. - -But presently he came to a full and startled halt. He was beside the -trellis up which climbed his treasured fuchsia. The cross-like perch -of the parrot was beyond the bordering cacti, and unoccupied. Near by, -upon its nail, hung the canary cage, with Tony going up stairs and -down untiringly, eying his visitor with no uneasiness, greeting him, on -the contrary, with saucy chirps. While underneath, spotting the ground -in some profusion, and cast as it were at the feet of the garden's -singer, were scores of scarlet blossoms! - -The padre's look travelled from the scattered flowers to the vacant -perch, from the perch to the naked branches swaying against the -trellis, from the branches to the wide, warm top of the 'dobe wall. And -there was Loretta, patrolling in unconcealed apprehension. - -The instant he caught sight of her he knew her guilt. He pursed his -thin lips. Then, letting fall trowel and knife, he straddled the hedge. - -"I'll wring thy neck for thee!" he vowed. - -A sandal in the trellis, a light spring, and his head came even with -her. She backed away, raising her wings a little, and _gawking_ in -protest. He took a fresh grip on the wall, reached out and caught her -like a chicken--by both legs. - -Wild screeches rang through the garden, screeches that put the sparrows -to flight and set the canary cheeping in fear. These were punctuated -next by raucous appeals for "_Tony_" or gurgley parrot language. - -The padre was down now, and standing on the path again. But he was not -fulfilling his threat. Instead, he was viewing his captive angrily, yet -in considerable indecision. - -Loretta, on the other hand, was at no loss for a course of action. -Between cries for the canary, demands for a handshake, and reiterated -"_Good-days_," she was vigorously trying her beak upon the padre's fist. - -But now a new factor upon the scene. Round the mission wall, waddling -fast and propelling himself by his swinging arms, appeared Padre -Alonzo. "Is't the cats?" he asked as he came on; "oh, la! la! is't the -cats?" - -Padre Anzar half turned, scowling. For answer, he only pointed to the -severed fuchsias. - -The other looked, covering any regret with simulated astonishment. -"These were dropping of themselves yesterday," he began between -breaths. "They--they fell fast in the night--eh?" He came beside the -other now, partly to support the suspended Loretta in his hands. "I saw -them--truly." - -"Bah!" And Padre Anzar gave Loretta such a shake that she tumbled, -squawking and sputtering, from the other's hands, and again hung, heels -above head, like a chicken caught for the block. - -"She did but what the wind hadst done," faltered Padre Alonzo. "Sst! -sst!" (This to the parrot.) "Such language from a lady!" - -"Ah-_ha_!" grunted Padre Anzar, "I _told_ thee not to buy a bird that -was raised in a garrison town." - -"_To-o-ny! To-o-ny!_" pleaded the parrot. "_A-aw, To-o-ny!_" - -"Yes," he went on solemnly, addressing her, "and thou art of the devil, -and hast as many tricks. Twice I forgave thee--once for shouting -'Fire!' on St. John's Day, as the censer passed; again, for pulling the -feathers out of Señor Esteban's choice hen. But thou wilt not escape -now. Now thou'lt go to the kitchen and be shut in with Gabrielda's -black mouser. There thou shalt shed some quills." - -With this dire threat, he departed along the path, Loretta still -hanging head down at his knee. - -Scarcely a moment later a commotion sounded from the distance, a -commotion muffled by 'dobe wall. First came the voice of old Gabrielda, -then the clatter of an over-turning pan, next the terror-stricken -shrieks of Loretta. Presently, Padre Anzar appeared, his jaw set, his -eyes shining with the look of duty done. - -"She will be nicely scared this time," he told Padre Alonzo. "She -will match her busy peak with Tomasso's claws, and she will remember -hereafter to let my blossoms alone." - -"Perhaps," began Padre Alonzo, deprecatingly, "perhaps 'twere as well -to take her out of temptation's way, to--" - -Padre Anzar raised his shoulders, strode over to knife and trowel and -caught them up. "Move her as thou wilt," he said grumpily, "and the -farther the better. Tony is proper for us, pretty and songful. But that -parrot,"--he shook his tools as if they were Loretta--"how altogether -useless and ugly and noisy and blasphemous and good-for-naught!" - -With this he departed into the shrubbery. - -Sounds were still coming from the kitchen--Gabrielda's cracked voice, -Loretta's cries, the sullen yowling of a cat. Nodding sadly, Padre -Alonzo waddled to the perch, vacant and formed like a cross. This he -lifted and bore to a place along the wall opposite the great crucifix, -where climbed no flowers. Then, smiling gently, as if with some tender -thought, he waddled back to the trellis, took the cage from its nail, -and, returning to the perch, hung Tony close beside. - - - - -III - - -Late that night, on coming out of the chapel, Padre Alonzo discovered a -little black something blocking his way along the moonlit path. As he -paused, leaning forward to peer, the black something sidled nearer him, -and saluted. - -"_Buenas noches!_" it said, its voice monotonous and human with grief -and weariness; "_buenas noches! buenas noches!_" - -The padre bent lower and lifted the parrot to the level of his face. -"Aye, good-night truly, as thou sayest," he repeated proudly. "Thou -hast some wicked words of a garrison town, but thou knowest the -difference between sun and moon." - -"_Aw, Lora_," murmured the parrot; "_aw, Lo-ra! Lo-ra!_" - -"Yes, Tomasso has used thee badly." Padre Alonzo patted her head. "I -shall put thee on thy perch," he went on; "though I trust good Anzar -will not know it. But the moon is up, and my heart is tender. Alas! -one does many things when the moon is up. And the next day--one does -penance." - -He thrust the parrot into a fold of his cassock, made along to where -was the perch, and placed her upon it. Then he stood back, folding his -arms. - -"To-morrow is Christmas Day, Loretta," he said. "And what wilt thou -give to Tony? What can the cactus give the golden poppy? Thou hast -only love, eh? Well, that is much, though it grows from naught, as a -China lily blooms from a bowl of rocks." - -He turned, and found himself before the Tree. Fir and pine massed their -branches behind it, making a background of plushy green. Against that -background, showing full, hung the torn and unclad shape. The moon -glinted upon it, haloing the head of the Crucified. - -The padre sank, bowing, and touched himself in the sign. - -"_Aw, To-o-ny! To-o-ny!_" came a sleepy croak at his back. The parrot -was settling herself for the night. - -Padre Alonzo rose and turned, reaching up to stroke her. "Good-night, -Loretta," he said fondly. "There were none too lowly for His gift of -love. It was spared to thee, a yawping fowl, a talker after the manner -of the lazy Mexicans that bred thee." - -He turned back upon the path, sighing and raising his eyes once more. -"But for high or low," he said, musing aloud, "the fruit of that love -is sacrifice." - - - - -IV - - -Out of the chapel came the sounds of the noon service--the level -intoning of prayer, the rumble and swell of the padres' voices. From -her place before the great crucifix Loretta mocked it, only ceasing -now and then to answer Tony's warbles with little whistles of delight, -or to run her open bill up and down the bit of vertical pole dividing -her perch. Yesterday's bout in the kitchen, yesterday's hunger and -fear, the lonely night ramble along the path, the lack of her preening -friend--all these were forgotten in to-day's safety, sunlight, plenty, -and companionship. And so she _gurred_ and _purred_, _a-a-awed_ and -_ga-a-wked_, shrilled her "_Buenos días!_" across the garden, laughed -uproariously, or droned the familiar mass. - -In reach of her pacing, in touch of her very tail, was the gilded cage, -with Tony darting up stairs and down, yet sparing time now and then for -a sip or a seed or a saucy chirp. - -But of a sudden the happy cries of both birds were changed to notes of -alarm. The canary, its round eyes starting like two polished shots, -fluttered high and low, beating its yellow wings against the wires; -while Loretta squared her rudder, spread her pinions and squatted -belligerently. For on the ground, advancing that way by soft steps, -and with the gloating look of the hunter fixed upon the cage, came -Tomasso, the cat. - -[Illustration] - -Quickly the parrot rallied from her panic. As if she knew that her -arch-enemy was not seeking her now, but the precious bit of fluff at -her side, she began a series of terror-inspiring performances learned -in the profane garrison town of her hatching; she gave tongue to dire -words that had long since gone out of her repertory. Ruffled to twice -her size, she strutted along her perch, shrieking angry orders to -mount, flinging out "_Vuelta! vuelta! vuelta!_" in husky trooper tones, -and whistling the bugle calls. - -It failed to scare Tomasso. Within the cage, as it gently danced -from its spring, was a tempting morsel, one that lured all the more -through its effort to escape. The cat crept steadily forward, velvet -foot following velvet foot, across the shifting dapple before the great -crucifix, across the packed gravel of the garden path, to the near -shade of a gold of Ophir. There, under the roses, he paused, amber eyes -glowing, whetted claws slipping in and out expectantly, muscles rolling -and flexing with the measurement of the leap. - -Then, with the cunning of the wild mother, Loretta adopted new tactics, -seeking to divert him. She wobbled upon her perch, giving vent to -bursts of hysterical laughter; she got between him and the cage and -railed at him. - -His unblinking eyes did not leave his quarry, his muscles kept their -quiver of preparation. At the end of his sleek body, touching the path, -his long tail swept, to and fro, to and fro, to and fro, like a furry -pendulum marking off the dread time. - -By now other inmates of the garden were alarmed. A blue jay scolded -from the terra-cotta roof of the chapel. From the cross-piece of the -tree a line of sparrows gave over their squabbling to look down. - -Loretta's excitement grew wilder. Out of her beak poured phrases not -of mass or military, not of good-days or--nights. For under the gold -of Ophir the furry pendulum was standing out straight and the moving -muscles down Tomasso's length were tight and still. Her instinct knew -the signs, and again and again she quavered out the "_Fuego!_" that had -disgraced St. John's Day. - -No one heard. From the chapel still sounded the intoning of prayer, -broken by the rumble and swell of the padres' voices. - -A moment, and she acted. With a "_Ga-a-wk!_" of defiance, she aimed -her flight for the ground, took it in all but a somersault, and landed -herself directly before the astonished Tomasso. Then once again she -spread her wings and squared her rudder, making ready for a clash. - -Tomasso's eyes fell to her, he relaxed, body and tail, spitting -resentfully. - -Quickly emboldened, she came a hand's breadth nearer him, snapping at -the black tip of his nose. - -He retreated to his haunches, but directed a swift cuff her way. - -To this she responded with hoarse laughter and yells of "_To-o-ny!_" as -if she summoned the canary to witness the encouraging progress of the -fight. Then she stalked forward once more. - -Tomasso wrinkled his face. Their positions were unpleasantly reversed. -In Gabrielda's domain it was she who backed off or sought the safe -places, and he who sallied out from his cozy nook by the range to scare -her into noisy protests. While here she was bristling to him. His paw -poised itself in mid-air. - -Loretta grew reckless. Fanning her wings, in one lightning stroke she -bit him between his flattened ears. - -The pain of it enraged Tomasso. With a jump, he met her. - -Then ensued such a scene as the kitchen knew. There was mewing and -spitting and yowling; there was _gawking_ and squalling and a rending -cry for "_Tony!_" All the while, close to the gold of Ophir, the cat -and the parrot went dizzily around and around, a whirligig of gray, -scarlet, and black--that tossed off fur and feathers. - -It was over in a moment, when Tomasso fled, over path and grass, and -into a dusky recess between the trunks of fir and pine. There he lay -down, sulking and grumbling and licking his paws. But Loretta stayed -where she was a little, holding her head sidewise in the attitude of a -listener. - -[Illustration] - -"_Lora_," she murmured presently, her voice inquiring, "_Lora, Lora_." - -Then, slowly and clumsily, she made her way to the base of the perch, -and with beak and talons climbed it. - - - - -V - - -It was past the noon angelus when Padre Alonzo came waddling along -the path, and he found the garden still--still, and filled with the -sun-drawn incense of trees and flowers. - -"Sst! sst! Tony will be too warm, I fear," he was saying aloud as he -neared the cage. "The little one shall go to a cooler spot." And with -this conclusion, he halted beside the perch of the parrot and lifted -the chirping canary down to his knee. - -"Buenos días," he said to Loretta, pausing a moment; "a good day, -truly, but over-hot, so that my cassock makes of me a living olla, for -I am beaded with water drops from top to toe." - -The parrot shifted a little, and again set her head sidewise, as -if she were puzzled and listening. Next, she edged toward him, and -uncertainly, putting a foot down, clasping and unclasping the pole, -trying it cautiously. Against the vertical piece that made her perch -like a cross, she teetered awkwardly and stopped. - -"Loretta," said the padre, in some concern, "hast anything in thy craw? -Well, gulp down a stone and grind thy grist. What one swallowest that -must one digest." - -The gravel crunched behind him. He glanced back, to see Padre Anzar -advancing, brown cowl shading hollow eyes. - -[Illustration] - -Padre Alonzo colored guiltily. "Tony must go to the shade," he said. -"The sun is hot to the cooking-point." - -Padre Anzar paused a moment, glowering up at Loretta. "Then may it -singe the plumage of that vixen," he answered. "She desecrates our -garden." Another frown, and he passed on. - -Padre Alonzo watched him out of sight before he again addressed the -parrot. "I fear thou must mend thy ways, Loretta," he said. "Here -it is Christmas Day, and yet Anzar has no good words for thee. But -see,"--he held up a plump hand, displaying one of Gabrielda's sweet -biscuits--"riotous as thou art, I have remembered. And now tell me, -what hast thou given Tony?" - -As though in mute answer, the parrot suddenly lowered her head toward -him, and he saw that over the gray of her feathered face was a splash -of scarlet, as if a vivid fuchsia petal had fallen there. - -"Loretta!" he cried anxiously; "Loretta! thine eyes!" - -She lifted her head until her beak pointed past the giant crucifix and -straight into the glaring sun. - -"Buenos días," he prompted tenderly, alarmed now at her unusual silence -and the indifference shown his offering; "Loretta, buenos días." - -But she was settling herself upon her cross-like perch as if for the -night. "_A-aw, To-o-ny! To-o-ny!_" she returned with a little sleepy -croak; "_buenas noches! buenas noches!_" - - -The University Press, Cambridge, U. S.

While underneath, -spotting the ground in -some profusion, and cast as it -were at the feet of the garden’s -singer, were scores of scarlet -blossoms!</p> - -<p>The padre’s look travelled from -the scattered flowers to the vacant -perch, from the perch to the naked -branches swaying against the trellis, -from the branches to the wide, -warm top of the ’dobe wall.

Then, letting fall -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_22" id="Page_22">[Pg 22]</a></span>trowel and knife, he straddled the -hedge.</p> - -<p>“I’ll wring thy neck for thee!” -he vowed.</p> - -<p>A sandal in the trellis, a light -spring, and his head came even -with her. She backed away, raising -her wings a little, and <i>gawking</i> -in protest. He took a fresh -grip on the wall, reached out and -caught her like a chicken—by -both legs.</p> - -<p>Wild screeches rang through the -garden, screeches that put the sparrows -to flight and set the canary -cheeping in fear. These were -punctuated next by raucous appeals -for “<i>Tony</i>” or gurgley parrot -language.</p> - -<p>The padre was down now, and -standing on the path again. But -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_23" id="Page_23">[Pg 23]</a></span>he was not fulfilling his threat. -Instead, he was viewing his captive -angrily, yet in considerable indecision.</p> - -<p>Loretta, on the other hand, was -at no loss for a course of action. -Between cries for the canary, demands -for a handshake, and reiterated -“<i>Good-days</i>,” she was -vigorously trying her beak upon -the padre’s fist.</p> - -<p>But now a new factor upon the -scene. Round the mission wall, -waddling fast and propelling himself -by his swinging arms, appeared -Padre Alonzo. “Is’t the cats?” -he asked as he came on; “oh, la! -la! is’t the cats?”</p> - -<p>Padre Anzar half turned, scowling. -For answer, he only pointed -to the severed fuchsias.</p> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_24" id="Page_24">[Pg 24]</a></span></p> -<p>The other looked, covering any -regret with simulated astonishment. -“These were dropping of themselves -yesterday,” he began between -breaths. “They—they -fell fast in the night—eh?” He -came beside the other now, partly -to support the suspended Loretta -in his hands. “I saw them—truly.”</p> - -<p>“Bah!” And Padre Anzar gave -Loretta such a shake that she tumbled, -squawking and sputtering, -from the other’s hands, and again -hung, heels above head, like a -chicken caught for the block.</p> - -<p>“She did but what the wind -hadst done,” faltered Padre Alonzo. -“Sst! sst!” (This to the parrot.) -“Such language from a lady!”</p> - -<p>“Ah-<i>ha</i>!” grunted Padre Anzar, -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_25" id="Page_25">[Pg 25]</a></span>“I <i>told</i> thee not to buy a bird that -was raised in a garrison town.”</p> - -<p>“<i>To-o-ny! To-o-ny!</i>” pleaded -the parrot. “<i>A-aw, To-o-ny!</i>”</p> - -<p>“Yes,” he went on solemnly, -addressing her, “and thou art of -the devil, and hast as many tricks. -Twice I forgave thee—once for -shouting ‘Fire!’ on St. John’s -Day, as the censer passed; again, -for pulling the feathers out of -Señor Esteban’s choice hen. But -thou wilt not escape now. Now -thou’lt go to the kitchen and be -shut in with Gabrielda’s black -mouser. There thou shalt shed -some quills.”</p> - -<p>With this dire threat, he departed -along the path, Loretta still hanging -head down at his knee.</p> - -<p>Scarcely a moment later a com<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_26" id="Page_26">[Pg 26]</a></span>motion -sounded from the distance, -a commotion muffled by ’dobe wall. -First came the voice of old Gabrielda, -then the clatter of an over-turning -pan, next the terror-stricken -shrieks of Loretta. Presently, -Padre Anzar appeared, his jaw set, -his eyes shining with the look of -duty done.</p> - -<p>“She will be nicely scared this -time,” he told Padre Alonzo. -“She will match her busy peak -with Tomasso’s claws, and she will -remember hereafter to let my blossoms -alone.”</p> - -<p>“Perhaps,” began Padre Alonzo, -deprecatingly, “perhaps ’twere as -well to take her out of temptation’s -way, to—”</p> - -<p>Padre Anzar raised his shoulders, -strode over to knife and trowel and -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_27" id="Page_27">[Pg 27]</a></span>caught them up. “Move her as -thou wilt,” he said grumpily, “and -the farther the better. Tony is -proper for us, pretty and songful. -But that parrot,”—he shook his -tools as if they were Loretta—“how -altogether useless and ugly -and noisy and blasphemous and -good-for-naught!”</p> - -<p>With this he departed into the -shrubbery.</p> - -<p>Sounds were still coming from -the kitchen—Gabrielda’s cracked -voice, Loretta’s cries, the sullen -yowling of a cat. Nodding sadly, -Padre Alonzo waddled to the -perch, vacant and formed like a -cross. This he lifted and bore to -a place along the wall opposite -the great crucifix, where climbed -no flowers. Then, smiling gently, -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_28" id="Page_28">[Pg 28]</a></span>as if with some tender thought, -he waddled back to the trellis, -took the cage from its nail, and, -returning to the perch, hung Tony -close beside.</p></div> - -<div class="chapter"> -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_31" id="Page_31">[Pg 29-31]</a></span></p> - -<h2>III</h2> - -<p class="no-indent"><span class="smcap">Late</span> that night, on coming out -of the chapel, Padre Alonzo discovered -a little black something blocking -his way along the moonlit path. -As he paused, leaning forward to -peer, the black something sidled -nearer him, and saluted.</p> - -<p>“<i>Buenas noches!</i>” it said, its -voice monotonous and human with -grief and weariness; “<i>buenas -noches! buenas noches!</i>”</p> - -<p>The padre bent lower and lifted -the parrot to the level of his face. -“Aye, good-night truly, as thou -sayest,” he repeated proudly. -“Thou hast some wicked words of -a garrison town, but thou knowest -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_32" id="Page_32">[Pg 32]</a></span>the difference between sun and -moon.”</p> - -<p>“<i>Aw, Lora</i>,” murmured the parrot; -“<i>aw, Lo-ra! Lo-ra!</i>”</p> - -<p>“Yes, Tomasso has used thee -badly.” Padre Alonzo patted her -head. “I shall put thee on thy -perch,” he went on; “though I -trust good Anzar will not know it. -But the moon is up, and my heart -is tender. Alas! one does many -things when the moon is up. And -the next day—one does penance.”</p> - -<p>He thrust the parrot into a fold -of his cassock, made along to where -was the perch, and placed her upon -it. Then he stood back, folding -his arms.</p> - -<p>“To-morrow is Christmas Day, -Loretta,” he said. “And what -wilt thou give to Tony? What can -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_33" id="Page_33">[Pg 33]</a></span>the cactus give the golden poppy? -Thou hast only love, eh? Well, -that is much, though it grows from -naught, as a China lily blooms from -a bowl of rocks.”</p> - -<p>He turned, and found himself -before the Tree. Fir and pine -massed their branches behind it, -making a background of plushy -green. Against that background, -showing full, hung the torn and -unclad shape. The moon glinted -upon it, haloing the head of the -Crucified.</p> - -<p>The padre sank, bowing, and -touched himself in the sign.</p> - -<p>“<i>Aw, To-o-ny! To-o-ny!</i>” came -a sleepy croak at his back. The -parrot was settling herself for the -night.</p> - -<p>Padre Alonzo rose and turned, -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_34" id="Page_34">[Pg 34]</a></span>reaching up to stroke her. “Good-night, -Loretta,” he said fondly. -“There were none too lowly for -His gift of love. It was spared to -thee, a yawping fowl, a talker after -the manner of the lazy Mexicans -that bred thee.”</p> - -<p>He turned back upon the path, -sighing and raising his eyes once -more. “But for high or low,” he -said, musing aloud, “the fruit of -that love is sacrifice.”</p></div> - -<div class="chapter"> -<hr class="chap" /> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_37" id="Page_37">[Pg 35-37]</a></span></p> - -<h2>IV</h2> - -<p class="no-indent"><span class="smcap">Out</span> of the chapel came the -sounds of the noon service—the -level intoning of prayer, the rumble -and swell of the padres’ voices. -From her place before the great -crucifix Loretta mocked it, only -ceasing now and then to answer -Tony’s warbles with little whistles -of delight, or to run her open bill -up and down the bit of vertical pole -dividing her perch. Yesterday’s -bout in the kitchen, yesterday’s -hunger and fear, the lonely night -ramble along the path, the lack of -her preening friend—all these -were forgotten in to-day’s safety, -sunlight, plenty, and companionship. -And so she <i>gurred</i> and -<i>purred</i>, <i>a-a-awed</i> and <i>ga-a-wked</i>, -shrilled her “<i>Buenos días!</i>” across -the garden, laughed uproariously, -or droned the familiar mass.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_38" id="Page_38">[Pg 38]</a></span>In reach of her pacing, in touch -of her very tail, was the gilded cage, -with Tony darting up stairs and -down, yet sparing time now and -then for a sip or a seed or a saucy -chirp.</p> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 400px;"> -<a id="illo3"><img src="images/i_039.jpg" width="400" height="522" alt="Advancing by soft steps came Tomasso the cat" -title="" /></a></div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<p>But of a sudden the happy cries -of both birds were changed to notes -of alarm. The canary, its round -eyes starting like two polished -shots, fluttered high and low, beating -its yellow wings against the -wires; while Loretta squared her -rudder, spread her pinions and -squatted belligerently. For on the -ground, advancing that way by soft -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_39" id="Page_39">[Pg 39]</a></span>steps, and with the gloating look -of the hunter fixed upon the cage, -came Tomasso, the cat.</p> - -<p>Quickly the parrot rallied from -her panic. As if she knew that her -arch-enemy was not seeking her -now, but the precious bit of fluff -at her side, she began a series -of terror-inspiring performances -learned in the profane garrison -town of her hatching; she gave -tongue to dire words that had long -since gone out of her repertory. -Ruffled to twice her size, she -strutted along her perch, shrieking -angry orders to mount, flinging out -“<i>Vuelta! vuelta! vuelta!</i>” in husky -trooper tones, and whistling the -bugle calls.</p> - -<p>It failed to scare Tomasso. -Within the cage, as it gently -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_40" id="Page_40">[Pg 40]</a></span>danced from its spring, was a -tempting morsel, one that lured all -the more through its effort to -escape. The cat crept steadily forward, -velvet foot following velvet -foot, across the shifting dapple -before the great crucifix, across the -packed gravel of the garden path, to -the near shade of a gold of Ophir. -There, under the roses, he paused, -amber eyes glowing, whetted claws -slipping in and out expectantly, -muscles rolling and flexing with -the measurement of the leap.</p> - -<p>Then, with the cunning of the -wild mother, Loretta adopted new -tactics, seeking to divert him. She -wobbled upon her perch, giving -vent to bursts of hysterical laughter; -she got between him and the -cage and railed at him.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_41" id="Page_41">[Pg 41]</a></span></p> - -<p>His unblinking eyes did not leave -his quarry, his muscles kept their -quiver of preparation. At the end -of his sleek body, touching the -path, his long tail swept, to and -fro, to and fro, to and fro, like a -furry pendulum marking off the -dread time.</p> - -<p>By now other inmates of the -garden were alarmed. A blue jay -scolded from the terra-cotta roof of -the chapel. From the cross-piece of -the tree a line of sparrows gave over -their squabbling to look down.</p> - -<p>Loretta’s excitement grew wilder. -Out of her beak poured phrases not -of mass or military, not of good-days -or—nights. For under the -gold of Ophir the furry pendulum -was standing out straight and the -moving muscles down Tomasso’s -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_42" id="Page_42">[Pg 42]</a></span>length were tight and still. Her -instinct knew the signs, and again -and again she quavered out the -“<i>Fuego!</i>” that had disgraced St. -John’s Day.</p> - -<p>No one heard. From the chapel -still sounded the intoning of prayer, -broken by the rumble and swell of -the padres’ voices.</p> - -<p>A moment, and she acted. With -a “<i>Ga-a-wk!</i>” of defiance, she -aimed her flight for the ground, -took it in all but a somersault, and -landed herself directly before the -astonished Tomasso. Then once -again she spread her wings and -squared her rudder, making ready -for a clash.</p> - -<p>Tomasso’s eyes fell to her, he -relaxed, body and tail, spitting resentfully.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_43" id="Page_43">[Pg 43]</a></span></p> -<p>Quickly emboldened, she came a -hand’s breadth nearer him, snapping -at the black tip of his nose.</p> - -<p>He retreated to his haunches, but -directed a swift cuff her way.</p> - -<p>To this she responded with hoarse -laughter and yells of “<i>To-o-ny!</i>” -as if she summoned the canary to -witness the encouraging progress -of the fight. Then she stalked forward -once more.</p> - -<p>Tomasso wrinkled his face. -Their positions were unpleasantly -reversed. In Gabrielda’s domain -it was she who backed off or sought -the safe places, and he who sallied -out from his cozy nook by the -range to scare her into noisy protests. -While here she was bristling -to him. His paw poised itself in -mid-air.</p> - -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_44" id="Page_44">[Pg 44]</a></span></p> - -<p>Loretta grew reckless. Fanning -her wings, in one lightning stroke -she bit him between his flattened -ears.</p> - -<p>The pain of it enraged Tomasso. -With a jump, he met her.</p> - -<p class="bgap">Then ensued such a scene as the -kitchen knew. There was mewing -and spitting and yowling; there -was <i>gawking</i> and squalling and a -rending cry for “<i>Tony!</i>” All the -while, close to the gold of Ophir, -the cat and the parrot went dizzily -around and around, a whirligig of -gray, scarlet, and black—that tossed -off fur and feathers.</p> - -<div class="figcenter" style="width: 608px;"> -<a id="illo4"><img src="images/i_044.jpg" width="608" height="400" alt="Fanning her wings in one lightning stroke" -title="" /></a></div> - -<p class="gap">It was over in a moment, when -Tomasso fled, over path and grass, -and into a dusky recess between -the trunks of fir and pine. There -he lay down, sulking and grum<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_45" id="Page_45">[Pg 45]</a></span>bling -and licking his paws. But -Loretta stayed where she was a -little, holding her head sidewise in -the attitude of a listener.</p> - -<p>“<i>Lora</i>,” she murmured presently, -her voice inquiring, “<i>Lora, -Lora</i>.”</p> - -<p>Then, slowly and clumsily, she -made her way to the base of the -perch, and with beak and talons -climbed it.</p></div> - -<hr class="chap" /> - -<div class="chapter"> -<p><span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_46" id="Page_46">[Pg 46-49]</a></span></p> - -<h2>V</h2> - -<p class="no-indent"><span class="smcap">It</span> was past the noon angelus -when Padre Alonzo came waddling -along the path, and he found the -garden still—still, and filled with -the sun-drawn incense of trees and -flowers.</p> - -<p>“Sst! sst! Tony will be too -warm, I fear,” he was saying aloud -as he neared the cage. “The little -one shall go to a cooler spot.” -And with this conclusion, he halted -beside the perch of the parrot and -lifted the chirping canary down to -his knee.</p> - -<p>“Buenos días,” he said to Loretta, -pausing a moment; “a good -day, truly, but over-hot, so that my -<span class="pagenum"><a name="Page_50" id="Page_50">[Pg 50]</a></span>cassock makes of me a living olla, -for I am beaded with water drops -from top to toe.”</p> - -<p>The parrot shifted a little, and -again set her head sidewise, as if -she were puzzled and listening. -Next, she edged toward him, and -uncertainly, putting a foot down, -clasping and unclasping the pole, -trying it cautiously. Against the -vertical piece that made her perch -like a cross, she teetered awkwardly -and stopped.</p> - -<p>“Loretta,” said the padre, in -some concern, “hast anything in -thy craw? Well, gulp down a -stone and grind thy grist.
