He gazed Sternly at the other. "Oh, tut, tut, tut Arent you shamed. Brother? "Stop it, hypocritical wretch!

The other screamed, and reached p - blindly before him, but Rubi had retreated to a corner, for in the doorway stood the Father President, looking in at them, shielding with a protective gesture, the Indian youth, Pio. For a moment the padre stared at the two, then covering his eyes with his hands, stumbled away, limping painfully to his own cell. As though his legs could not support him, he sank on his knees beside his bed, and resting his head on the rough uncovered planks, wept. Pio stood awkwardly beside him, watching compassionately the thin heaving shoulders. "Padre mio, he said at last very Padre mio, come, Pio is softly. here beside you. Do not grieve. He laid a timid brown Father. hand on the priest. Junipero Serra raised his ravaged face to the Indian. "Yes, Pio, you are beside me. Thank God for that. Thank God for you, my own, my true little son. He allowed Pio to lift him to the cot. Pio, he groaned, I have been a sinner. I have failed, somewhere, somehow, or else I would not be now forsaken. 1 had gone to those two with love and forgiveness in my heart, to beg them to help me. to be my eyes, since my spectacles are gone. And you saw them. Pio. Your innocent eyes saw them. Ah, why have they been sent to me. for X do not remember any sin I have committed black enough to deserve them as a punishment. "No, Father I Say it not! You are no sinner "Dear son. The father smiled faintly. "Little loyal one. You are all 1 have, Pio. it seems.

Junipero Serra smiled. he whisFather Francis I recpered, "Father Francis ognize thy messenger . . . Then he lay very still. Into the room, after a long while, darted Pio, as swiftly and noiselessly as the swallow. Padre mio! he crowed, Padre mio! Look, your spectacles! There was no answer from the priest. Pio leaned over him breathlessly. "Look, he said, I have them, your spectacles, Father." At last Serra stirred. he Ah, bless you, my child? Now light said in a faint voice. the candles for there is work to be ...... Pio lighted the candles. If the father had not been so engrossed in his own thoughts he would have seen the youths face was bleeding, that one eye was closed, and that his hair was standing wildly on his usually sleek head.

He dashed out of the cell, through the mission grounds, and in the direction of the village of the gentile Indians. Junipero Serra did not feel the hard floor beneath his knees, nor the hard boards on which his head rested. He was pondering deeply, sadly, praying to keep the bitterness from his thoughts. He began dreaming of the past, of his earlier days in California. Episodes which he had forgotten long since came into his mind. His first baptism of an Indian child, the sweetness of a hedge of wild roses along a newly broken trail, a sunset glow on the white peaks of the lofty sierras. With each of these impressions came the figure of Pedro Fages, whose eyes saw the same beauty, and whose heart loved it as he did. he sighed, Ai, mi companero, you have deserted me. Friend, "Slipped It Into the Sleeve of My Habit. those of the Brothers of San Francisco! Ah, it is just a rumor it could be nothing else, God forbid that it should! Serra clasped his hands and was stilL Are there no more letters? he asked calmly. Here is one, but it is not from Mexico, Padre. It is from his Excellency. "Don Pedro! Read it." The note was curt, brief. The ... Governor had received dispatches Mexico, regarding the founding of the Mission Santa Barbara, and he presumed the holy father had received the same intelligence. It was unfortunate the holy father had not seen fit to communicate with him, or shown any disposition to enter again upon friendlier relations. He himself and La Gobernadora. with an escort, were leaving on the San Antonio when she sailed for the Presidio and Mission of San Francisco, where La Gobernadora would be confined by the eminent doctor who was stationed there. And that was all. The father rose painfully from his cot. and stood in the center of the little cell, his hands outfiung to Heaven. "Deserted! Betrayed! The face of all mankind is turned against me, but Thou, O Father, art with me! Thy rod and thy stall they comfort me! Thou art with me always . . . And I, Padre, whispered Pio, I am kneeling at the father's feet. with you, always. The Missionary put one hand on the Indian's bowed head, and with the other still upraised, stood, with rapt face, his lips murmuring prayers. Pio could feel the heat of the trembling hand even through the thick thatch of his hair, and close to the father as he was. could feel his limbs trembling. At last Serra spoke to him. "It is finished. Pio. And if all the years that I have toiled have brought me nothing else, it is enough that you are here, simple, Pio mio. He loving, righteous. smiled at the boy, and turned again to his cot. He knelt beside it. But, Padre, will you not lie down? questioned the anxious boy. "This attitude is more comfortable, son, for it is one to which my body is more familiar than any other. Pio, will you try to find Estcvamco. and bring back my spectacles to me?

Junipero Serra sighed deeply, and breathed a prayer for those sainted souls. California had exacted her toll from the Franciscans . . . but there were many left, praise God. ... o, And to them he must write; to Mission San Buenaventura, San Gabri- el Arc angel.

As he leaned over the table his head was light with fever, and the moquill in his hand shook. For a ment he needs must lay his head down on the clean page before him, and close his eyes. Yet he must write . . . though well he knew those brothers of the farther missions would never reach him in time. But Palou, his closest brother, his Mallorcan countryman . . . he must come. He roused himself and started writing, ending the letter, Good Brother Palou, come and assist me to die! For hours into the night, the little cell was quiet except for the of the pen, and the gentle clicking of his rosary when he rested from his writing. Once Pio slipped in, and put fresh candles in He curled up the candle-socketat the fathers feet, and was soon asleep. As he wrote a white fog moved silently in from the sea, traveling inland to the great valleys of the Salinas, the San Joaquin, toe Sacramento, drowning all things in thick g white vapor. Along the coast, golden beaches, shingly strands, jutting promontories and forbidding rocks the tides of morning raced. The letters were finished, all but one. Junipero Serra walked to a wooden shutter, opened it to the cold dawn. A breath of fog drifted into the cell like a wraith, and warmed itself at the candles. He seated himself again. With a prayer he pulled a clean page toward him, and wrote slowly: To Be Delivered After My Death. To His Esteemed Excellency, Don Pedro Fages, Gobernador-Gen-erof toe California s, Baja and Alta. Lifting his spectacles, he wiped away some tears that had gathered beneath the thick lenses, then wrote, My beloved son . . .

But the lady herself, when she learned that a very learned man of medicine was stationed at the Presidio of San Francisco, made up her mind that she would not remain in Monterey, to be delivered by the midwife from the Mission Carmelo, who also delivered the Indian women. The Governor himself, greatly worried by the news he had received from Mexico concerning the possibility of the missions of California being put under the guardianship of the Dominican Order, felt the need of discussing the situation with Junipero Serras countryman, Francisco Palou, the Mallorcan, at San Francisco. Fray Palou was wise, liberal, friendly, and with him Don Pedro felt he could discuss his impasse with Serra, and other mat- ters. (TO BE COMIMED) Puzzle of Folding Paper Maps Can Be Solved by Just Doing the Best You Can Pick up the map by the .upper corners and let it hang down in front of you. Study the creases carefully to determine where it was first folded. The horizontal line through the middle looks promising, so use that and fold the map once on itself. You will now find that some of the convex creases are facing some of the concave creases. So evidently it can't go that way. Open toe map and start all over again. Try toe line running perpendicularly through the middle. There now, that s better. The concave creases lie on the concave creases and the convex creases on the convex creases. Now fold the map a second time on itself. If it doesn't seem to fit. it's because you have folded along the wrong crease, in which case unfold the map and start all over again. Perhaps you are trying too hard. Hold the map as lightly as you can and see if it will not help itself to fold up the way it should go. Since you have now folded the several times map the wrong concave creases will begin to way look like convex creases and convex creases like concave creases. Just do the best you can, says a writer in the Baltimore Sun, th map until it lies before folding you in a long narrow strip. Tty folding the strip from left to right. If that doesnt seem correct, fold it from right to left. Or maybe the trouble is that you should fold both from the right and the left end and meet in the middle. The map instead of being neat and compact will look like an inflated football. Well, at any rate you have done your best After all why need it be folded as it was at first? Jest take the inflated map, press the air out of it with your hands and finish the job by sittine on it If you have failed, just remember that once a map has been unfolded the odds are 10 to 1 that it will never be folded the way it was before. A Mile The measurement to which wt usually refer by this name is whai can be more particularly called the statute mile. It equals eight furlongs each of 220 yards, or 5,280 feet in all. There is another mile-- toe geographical or nautical. This mile is of a degree of latitude, or 6.085 feet. The word us from th Latin word "? ,! mule, meaning a thousand, says London Answers Magazine. The Roman mile was 1,000 paces. They measured a pace as the distance between the points where the same heel came down in making stride. The Roman pace which we should regard as two paces was reckoned at about five feet. This made the Roman mile 5,000 feci noticeably shorter than the mile measurement we use today.
