On the Distant, Dry Wastelands
As they trek through the canyons, Mr. Garcia is a brutish cold-hearted man. He hits Candy and is unwilling to spare any water for Klint or Candy's rose in the desert. Aside from Candy, a destitute family, the Walters travel along because of a debt they could not repay to Mr. Garcia. Mrs. Walter's baby Jimmy develops a dangerous fever, but Mr. Garcia refuses to turn back to the nearest town. When Mr. Garcia inspects the bridals, Candy sees her chance and races off with his tilt cart to the town. The doctor can save the baby, but declares Jimmy will die if they continue their journey into Mexico. To prevent the Walters from being split up, Candy sells her Sweet Candy rose and uses the money to pay off their debt and helps them on the train. She herself returns with the tilt cart to the inebriated Mr. Garcia in the desert. When he asks her why she did not escape, Candy explains she had the impression he needs her help too.
