His only comfort was In reading over and over again the few books he possessed: Las Sergas de Sancho Panza and the plays of Shakespeare. Long hours he would read, then Impatiently order his horse and ride for hours through mud and rain, nowhere. There was only one light, one spot of warmth in his darkness, and that was not the clear warmth of the sun, or the pure cold ray of a star, but a light like a little fire shows from the depths of some murky cave. And that was Indizuela. Time and again he put the thought of the girl out of his mind, only to have her walk into his brain and heart, and through some witchcraft, take possession of him. And so the winter pressed down on Monterey. But from the south, from Santa Barbara, came letters from Fray Fermin Lasuen, bubbling with a youthful enthusiasm, that rose perennially in his old heart. It was summer In the south of California, he wrote. The sun shone all day, and the stars at night There had been some showers, and the brown hills had turned green quickly. The streams were full, and it was already like spring. And on the feast day of Santa Barbara, December fourth, the Mission Santa Barbara was to be founded. All was ready.

The feast day arrived, Santa Barbara, the Patroness, sent fair weather. The waters in the channel danced in a fresh breeze, and the blue hills and mountains, faintly tinged with green, rose behind the mission site like a beautiful curtain. Frey Fermin Lasuen and Sergeant Ortega from the presidio had been anxiously awaiting the Governor. Ortega had sent messengers and an escort far north to meet him, but Govthey had returned without the ernor, and without news of him. Fray Fermin was worried. A great responsibility was in his hands. This was the first mission of his own founding, carried out through the wishes of his beloved brother, Juni-per- o Serra. For over two years the Governor had been planning this day, looking forward to it with great anticipation and anxiety, and now, with everything In readiness, the day already at its zenith, there was no Governor. And the mission could not be officially founded without his presence. Fray Fermin scanned the distance as far north as his gaze could reach, then, with a patient sigh, sat down on the ground where he could see the little ramada beneath which the altar was erected, and where two bells hung, in readiness to ring out to all the world, the good news of the founding of the Mission Santa Barbara. A recumbent cross was on the ground near by, waiting to be erected on the spot where some arise. day the mission church should The missionary looked lovingly at vithe scene. And as he looked, a sion came before his eyes. Instead of the humble ramada and rough comcross, ,a lovely temple rose to fort him.

Fray Fermin gazed at his dream. Ah, Padre Junipero! he exclaimed gladly, it has all been worth it, has it notl Sing, 0 heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains; for the Lord hath comforted his people. Padre mio . . So steeped was Lasuen in his dream; so real was the vision, that at the sound of the voice he started, really expecting to see the brown figure of his brother Junipero beside him. But it was Sergeant Ortega, who stood, a worried frown on his brow, his hat in his hand. Padre mio It grows late. There is absolutely no sign of his Excellency. Soon the day of Our Holy Patroness will be past What shall we better do? Painfully Lasuen made his decision. We must go ahead with our ceremony, he said sadly. And when his Excellency comes, we will have a rededication. There must be some good reason that he is not here. He rose painfully from the ground, sighing, It is a disappointment but it is in Gods hands. And so, on December 4, 1786, was founded the Mission Santa Barbara. The standard of Spain waved above the humble altar, and the sacred flags of the Church, Marys blue banner, and the bloody banner of Christ The bells rang, prayers were said, incense rose in pale blue clouds. Then it was over. The Indians returned to their villages, the soldiers returned to the presidio. Fray Lasuen was left with three brothers and a few soldiers to guard the shrine dedicated to the Holy Patroness of artillerymen. Several days before Don Pedro planned to leave for the south for the dedication of the Mission Santa Barbara, he was riding the highlands back of Monterey and pondering how best to approach La on the matter of accompanying him. As he drove toward the presidio, the clouds lifted for a moment from the sea, and, it being sunset time, a rich glow spread over the gray ocean, turning it for a few minutes into molten gold and rosy silver. The Governor paused and admired the scene for a moment. A good omen! he said with a All will turn out well, deep breath. As he cantered into God willing! the presidio grounds the guards at the gate smiled at him respectfully, noting the cheerful expression on his face that had for so long been unnaturally gloomy. And as he approached the palacio his heart lighted again as he made out gleams of fire- - and candle - light stealing through the chinks of the closed shutters. he cried heartily as he Hola! And how stamped into the sala. are all in my household this evening? Did you notice the little bit of sunshine at sunset time? A gloomy silence met him. Huddled near the fire sat Eulalia, with the baby girl on her lap. And leaning over the fire, looking like an old witch or Indian sorceress, Angustias mixture stewed some in a pannikin. At Eulalias feet the Indian nurse crouched and looked fearfully at her charge. What is the matter? asked the Governor, all bis cheeriness fading in the gloomy atmosphere. the baby, murShe Is sick mured Eulalia. Ah! Don Pedro retired anxiously to a corner and watched helplessly while the women doctored the tiny girl, rubbing her little chest with unguents, dosing her with the mixture that Angusti ra g g as had brewed. The child fretted and cried, but at last became quiet Her nurse carried her from the room, and Angustias followed. Don Pedro strode toward Eulalia, and picked her up in his arms, cuddled her on his knee as though she were a child. She did not respond, did not struggle against him. But she was slack in his embrace, inert unresponsive. "Is the . . . my little flower very 111? he asked. She has a bad cold. This damp house . . . She looked about her. Oh, a little cold . . . she has had them before. Let us not worry about her. Let us be happy, Eulalia! Let us be happy againi" He turned her face toward him, and lifted her chin on his finger. There was not a single answering gleam in the black eyes. But be persisted. Pack your traveling cantina with jewels, pack a chest with your finest clothes, and let us go south, to the Presidio of Santa Barbara for the founding of the mission. It will be a great affair! There will be feasting at the presidio, a baile, and the Queen of California should be there. And what is more, we will find summer there, Fray Fermin writes me, for the sun shines on the southland and it is already spring! Come with me, Eulalia With scarcely any change in her expression the lady shook her head. Ah, come, querida! He held her Let us closely, and whispered, make a little moon of honey of the a luna de miell expedition Yes!" Eulalia pulled away from him her face settling in stern lines. You should not ask me to go away from my sick child. And I do not think that you should go and leave her either. Don Pedro loosened his arms. That is nonsense, of course. She is not that ill, and besides she is in very good hands with Angustias. Nevertheless, I shall have to go anyway, for without me the founding of the mission is not legaL He stood, and she slipped off from his lap on to the floor gazing into the fire. The Governor began pacing the length of the sala. Yes, I should go no matter whether it were necessary or not The Mission Santa Barbara! At last, oh, at long last! It will be a happy day for me, and a happy and significant day for California when that mission is founded. When I think of all the talks and quarrels I had with my poor Padre Junipero about it, I am overjoyed to think that finally the mission is to be founded. Yes, I shall be there. Eulalia glanced obliquely at him from where she sat He was tugging his beard and did not see her. she thought "Junipero Serra! Can he never be entirebitterly. ly at rest? Is his spirit to follow me always; haunt and punish me? She shivered. Pedro Fages delayed preparing for his trip until the last possible day, and with a deep disappointment in his heart, resolved to say But he nothing more to Eulalia. was frightened about her, as she sat hour after hour, saying nothing, doing nothing, but watching the fire and listening to the rain that lashed the little house unmercifully. The baby was no better but certainly no worse, yet he saw it was hopeless to persuade his lady to go with him. On the morning when he had planned his departure he stood before her, stern, unhappy. I must tell you adios, Senora, I will return he said formally. as quickly as possible. She said nothing, only turned and looked at him, he exAh, come, Eulalia! claimed suddenly, his reserve breaking.

Wide windows often make a room seem larger and give wall spaces better proportions. Extensions at the sides may also be used so the draperies will cover less of the window, giving more view and sunlight.
