If it is clear we will be making some last observations of I will be waiting for the stars you. I will manage it even if it is I will wait Can you not clear disguise yourself?" She caressed his shoulder with a feline gesture that made him shiver. "Fear not! I will be there, prepared, starlight or fog!" The Indian games and dancing were over, but the program Fray Lasuen had planned for the guests was to continue with some of the old Spanish dances, and another group began tripping to the music of some guitars and a flageolet. One figure stood out among them. scorned the Indian Indizuela dances of her people, but had taken pains to learn those of the Spaniards, and while her face showed and indifferent as she stolid danced, her slim body was alive and graceful, supple as a sapling. The others stopped dancing to admire her, and she stood alone. When she had finished there was a burst of applause led by the Governor. "Olel" he called. "Bravo, nina! Viva la nina de los ojos negros! Viva la morena!" With a gallant gesture he threw his hat at her feet She picked it up gravely, and after a slight hesitation put it on her head, did another impromptu pirouette, and stood with her hands provocatively on her hips. The Governor half rose to go to her and claim the sombrero with an embrace as was the custom. But La Gobernadora, who was staring at the performance with set jaw and disapproving eyes, clutched him be fore he could rise. "Sit down!" she commanded. "Do not make a scene of yourself. Well done, moza," she called in a high voice, with a chill smile. "Well done, indeed." The Governor subsided automatically before he could protest, and the Indian girl, her face asmolder,- carried the hat to him, presenting it with a contemp tuous gesture. La Perouse rose and stretched himself delightedly. "Magnifique!" he shouted across the space to Fray Lasuen, who was moving toward them with a pleased smile. "One of the most interest ing performances I have ever seen! These Indians, whom I had thought so crude, so stupid, can really do things, can they not?" "Ah, Senor el Conde," replied the priest "you must not underestimate my poor children. Perhaps you would like to come through the establishment again, and see what they have done?" he invited eagerly. La Perouse protested hastily. "Non, non, mon pere. I have already carefully examined the Mission San Carlos, you will remember, and have made notes about it all, and about you. Perhaps all Europe will some day read of this little place, and of your good works! Now, I am leaving you a souvenir of our visit It is a mill, a hand mill upon which to grind barley. Thereby one woman can do the work of many. Instead of grinding the meal by hand on stones as I have seen them do here. I will have it sent over tomorrow." Lasuen began an exclamation of "And I pleasure and gratitude. am leaving something else, auss!, something for you. and for my host his Excellency, the Gouverneur. Perhaps I am being presumptuous in thinking there is anything you need in this California, and I have been wondering what it could be that I might leave as a gift and to insure the fact that you, perhaps, will not forget your French broth- ... ... in his arms, and tossed her into his own saddle, swung himself up behind her and said, "I think I will have you ride with me, chiquita, like a little peasant girL tired and sleepy, from the fair. Que no?" Eulalia tried to sit bolt upright to express her outraged dignity, but Don Pedro only pulled her closer and there was nothing to do but lean against him, in the circle of his arm, and be quiet On they rode, silent under the thick bestars, with neath the horses' hoofs, and startled night birds rustling among the trees at the disturbance. From some of the riders came, bursts of song, the twanging of a guitar. The horse ambled quietly, for no one seemed in a hurry to break the spell of the night Eulalia abandoned her dignity, nodded and dozed. La Perouse and Fages talked in low tones. They spoke of La departure, and a little wistfully of his visit in California. The Frenchman had fallen under the spell of the country so beloved of Pedro Fages, and would leave re gretfully, he told his host. And the Governor had found a warm friend in the genial little Frenchman, with his quaint Spanish, learned in the mountains of his native South of France, among the Basques. He ers." ,nt - .1)8 fS- - mil i ry 4& im He paused and looked about him, beaming. "It is two sacks of potatoes," he announced. "I noticed that you have none, either that you have planted or that grow wild. And these we have brought from South America. So I will leave one sack with you, Pere Lasuen, for your mission garden, and one for you. Monsieur le Gouverneur, for that garden of yours of which you are o Justly proud!" After the Governor and his party had ridden away from the mission, when the Indians had retired for the night Fray Lasuen sat in his cell and wrote carefully in his Journal: "This has been Indeed a day of historical Importance. This day the potato has been introduced into Cal- ifornia." CHAPTER XXI As the cavalcade of the Governor were mounting their horses to return from the fiesta at Mission Carmelo. Dagelet stooped for foot to assist her into her saddle. Suddenly he was Jostled aside by Don Pedro, who. in sign language, made known to the young Frenchman that he would take care of the lady. Then, to Eulalia's surprise, Instead of seating her on her horse, he took her 's t of ver, ked. iries nmi the Impossible Conditions y What would happen if an irresistible force hit an immovable object? The only answer to this old question is that it presupposes impossible conditions, the two terms being mutually exclusive. You cannot conceive of a force that is irresistible being stopped by any object, nor can an immovable object be moved by any force. As the existence cf the two conditions at the same time is impossible, it is also impossible to say what would happen if they did as practical as Book which is now ready.

Not since Junipero Serra's death had there been anyone in California with whom he felt such companionship. All these things the two men made known to each other, with few words, as men speak, but of profound meaning, then were silent Although formal farewells would be made later, this was the real leave-takin- g between them. Fages felt deeply the importance of the visit of the French ships, the first foreigners to visit California. And be wondered vaguely, what other people, and ships of how many other nations would visit the shores of the distant province. "Ships and people and cities," La Perouse had predicted. Fages pondered. So deep was he in thought that he had not noticed Angustias riding close beside him. When she spoke out of the darkness, he started. "On my word, Angustias, you almost frightened me." "AI, Senor," sniffled the woman, "forgive me for speaking to you like this, but there is something I want you to do for me. It means much to me. Excellency. A matter that has lain sorrowfully close to my heart for days . . ." "Speak, then. What is it?" "It is about Chichi. He is dying, Don Pedro, in these fogs and cold weather of Monterey. 1 have managed to keep him alive so far, but I am afraid he will die." She sniveled dismally. "But what can I do?" asked the Governor in dismay "I want to ask your permission to give him to the Senor el Conde de La Perouse," she said. "He Is going to sail from here to the tropics I understand, where it is warm, and safe place for little monkeys to dwelt Chichi would become alive and well there." She was tumbling her words one over another in her excitement "And though it will break my heart I must let him go. When el Conde reaches those tropic isles, he can release Chichi, and then . . . and then he will be happy and well. And he will perhaps forget his adoring Angustias and," she snlfTed loudly, "find him a little mon!iV wife!" she ended, her voice breaking on a high squeak. Fages saw the need for being firm. "No, Angustias. You must not ask It Chichi has managed to live here this long, and will not die until his time comes. He would die away from your loving care, I know. The Jungle is no place for him.

But then, she thought with satisfaction, the expedition would no doubt stop at the Filipino Islands, and there, in Manila, a real capital, she could buy new raiment It would be better that way, for it was only too probable that her clothes, which she had had for more than three years, were demode, and in Manila she would find lovely things from Paris. She lifted the load to her head. and experimented with a few steps. Yes, she could do it She looked at herself in her mirror, and swayed there, her hands on her hips. In the mirror she saw the face of her baby, staring at her in amazement Hastily she dropped the bundle and whirled on the child.

He stopped, for he realized he was talking to himself, and Angustias was crying in her shawl. Yes, he was talking to himself, he suddenly was aware that he was wishing that it was Don Pedro Fages who commanded the two ships, and the men, and was sail ing away to find new worlds. He spoke harshly, both to him self and the weeping woman. 'No. Out of the question. I for bid you to ask him, mujer." Angustias drifted away, sniffing sadly. Fages bent his head again over the sleeping Eulalia. There was a warm perfume from her relaxed body, and the weight of her sagging against him was delicious to his senses. "Let him have his ships, and men and distant lands," he thought have Eulalia." He lifted his head. and saw with eyes accustomed to the dark the wooded hills, the more distant mountains.

At the great gate of the presidio grounds good nights were said. "It has been a marvelous day,' said La Perouse almost sadly.

Chinese Use Brutal Trapping Methods to Capture the FurBearing Animals Game laws mean very little In China. In the more remote sections, where trapping Is carried' on use the operators extensively, bombs and poison to make their catches although this form of hunting is forbidden by law, but there are no wardens to enforce the provision, notes a writer In the Detroit News.
