mind that we will come
again. You have yet to hear from Mexico and Santa Anna."

"When Santa Anna comes he will find us here ready to meet him," replied
Ned.

The Texans in the hour of their great and marvelous victory behaved with
humanity and moderation. Cos and his army, which still doubled in
numbers both the Texans who had been inside and outside San Antonio,
were permitted to retire on parole beyond the Rio Grande. They left in
the hands of the Texans twenty-one cannon and great quantities of
ammunition. Rarely has such a victory been won by so small a force and
in reality with the rifle alone. All the Texans felt that it was a
splendid culmination to a perilous campaign.

Ned, Obed and the Ring Tailed Panther, seated on their horses, watched
the captured army of Cos march away.

"Well, Texas is free," said the Ring Tailed Panther.

"And San Antonio is ours," said Obed.

"But Santa Anna will come," said Ned, remembering the words of Urrea.
