So you want her in California with you. Naturally. He walked to the low door and stared thoughtfully at a group of Indian children, playing some absorbing game with a hoop and a dart while a circle of elders watched them lazily in the afternoon sunshine. Strange, Pedro Fages. I always think 'of you as a man among men; a soldier, an explorer. A man's man entirely. But of course you are married. It must be" a long time since you have seen your wife, yes? A long time, he answered in a low voice. A long, long time. Eight years. I have a son, too. Padre. And the last time I saw him he was few days old. Now that I feel I am going to stay here, somehow the need for that son and his mother has become more than I can bear.

Although he seemed to be studying a corner of the brush celling over the Governor's head, he was reading Fages. and Fages knew it. Years of a wary comradeship had taught Serra to read every expression in the other's face. He had seen it light with a strange inner fire when some vista of this new California unrolled itself before Fages; seen it grow lean and tense through long days of starvation and burning heat, or gray and drawn when the Governor's small company of Catalonian soldiers fell, one by one, prey to the scurvy. But he could never quite tell whether the lines that branched from the twinkling brown eyea came from squinting against the blazing sun, or from sudden rollicking laughter. Now he realized he had never seen quite this expression before. He felt a little excitement communicated to himself from Fages feverish eyes. A little excitement, and quite a little fear. This message had it to do with him? Were some of his cherished plans for furthering the Church in California to be frustrated? He breathed heavily. You will 1 dare not suppose. have to tell me. low.

What crops we have will soon be gathered, the fruit will be dried, the corn stored. 'And the mountains shall drop down new wine. A busy happy time. But to me, a sad and thoughtful time. It is autumn, and nature prepares for sleep. And I am recalled to my long sleep, and my body's mortality. At, my poor old body! Don Pedro looked at him quiekly. "You are not well? How 1s your ulcered leg?" That is nothing. Since the young mule driver put some of the ointment upon it that he uses on his beasts I have not thought much about it. But you must know I do not regret my miserable earcais its due infirmities. It is only that I fear I shall be called to my undeserved' reward before I have finished the tasks I have set myself to do for the glory of God in California." Padre mlo, if you should be taken from us this night which God forbid, you have accomplished more than seems humanly possible for one man to do. You have performed miracles, wonders. The other groaned. Nothing! Nothing! A few hands-fu- l of souls brought to salvation when there are still thousands wandering in benighted darkness in this California! It te not enough. Stronger and stronger every day, every hour, I hear the command to bring in more souls.
