He opened to find the vaquero Pedro standing before him.

"I have XIV go to bed." that's Doctor-that's Doane. but surely Car- know Maria, tell. "I think it's fine,'" replied the doctor.

The surgeon jogged back to Monterey, feeling somewhat guilty about his breach of confidence. He busied himself framing a story to break Bowie's anger. He reached home late; so late he thought there would be no danger of facing the Texan before morning. Yet within ten minutes after he had lighted his lamp in his bedroom adjoining the office there came a tapping on his window. "Henry," he protested after he had carried the lamp into the office and let in the Texan, ‘‘I didn't expect to see you before morning. You don't sit up all night, do you?'' ‘How did you find things at the rancho?'' The doctor shook his head doubtfully. ‘‘Not very bright, Henry."'

He did not reappear till suppertime at the restaurant where the two took their meals. "Well," asked Doane when they had reached their coffee, speaki ng as if he thought he had a right to know, ‘‘what's it all about?"' "Since you've let the cat out of the bag, anyway, and Don Ramon is down sick, I thought I ought to send a few little things out to Guadalupe to show I hadn't forgotten their past kindnesses, and," he added haltin gly, ‘‘things like that.

It was from Carmen. ‘‘My mother has asked you to come out for a visit at Guadalupe before you leave for Sutter's Fort. We should all be equally happy to welcome you to your old home, as you well know. But even if you haven't time for a good visit, Mother wants to ask a very special favor. "Strawberries are ripe. Don Francisco Guerrero is giving a strawberry merienda, Saturday. There will be a neighborhood gathering from all the ranchos-you remember what a famous host Don Francisco is. We are going from Guadalupe. Won't you join us? Come out Friday night. ‘‘Carmen."' Bowie did not stop to read the formal Spanish greetings that closed the note. He saw on the white sheet of paper only the.magic word, **‘Carmen."' He slapped Pedro on the shoulder and bade him go down and feed the horses and get his breakfast. It was .already merienda day-Saturday. Bowie made up his mind to ride straight to Don Francisco's. It was the only chance to catch the party. He scribbled a hasty note for Captain Sutter, saying that he had been unavoidably detained and would follow on the next boat. Thirty minutes later he and Pedro were riding rapidly for Don Francisco Guerrero's. At Don Francisco's a disappointment met him. The merienda party had already left. However, it was easy to follow. He sent Pedro to Guadalupe and took the trail to the valley of the strawberries himself. A pretty scene greeted Bowie's eyes when he reached the brow of the hill. Below him a valley opened like a huge inverted bowl rimmed by surrounding hills. Each rancho had set up its own pavilion, bright with Spanish colors, and the pavilions were spread in a _ crescent, opening out on the valley. The various ranchos had their complements or servants; and the horses, tethered among the trees, were as happy as horses could be, close to a running brook, but pestered by flies. Bowie rode rapidly down the long hill and around to the camp near the pines. Dona Maria saw him first. She called to Carmen where she stood at a little distance, talking to Don Vicente, a cousin of Don Francisco's from Santa Barbara. Carmen greeted Bowie with cordial enthusiasm, and he explained in turn the mishap that had prevented him from joining the party at Guadalupe the night before. Don Vicenté, Carmen's escort, scrupulously well mannered and somewhat senior in years to the rest of the group, eyed the newcomer with polite interest. While dinner was on, Don Ramon rode in with Aunt Ysabel from Mon- terey and was more greeted servants. by Don Bowie Ramon like a long lost friend.
