Pacific Salmon a Traveler The Pacific salmon leads a nomadic existence most of its three to six years of life. Although born in fresh water the salmon wanders at sea, far from its birthplace.

Don Pedro aenda for Serra, tell Ing him that two priests are on thetr way from Mexico with Eulalia and young Pedro and that ha ia leaving to meet them. Fagea engages a young Indian girl, Indizuela. as matd for Eulalia. Eulalia sails from San Bias. It Is a desolate trip. From the port of Loreto, a large cavalcade loaded with Eulalias party starts out for the long overland trip. Eulalia, accustomed to luxury and comfort, bitterly regrets having been persuaded to come. The two priests, Fray Mariano and Fray Bartolomeo, call on her and arouse her suspicions as to their genuineness. As the cavalcade stops at various missions. Eulalia hears rumors of the approach of her husband. Spanish-governe- d s, CHAPTER CHAPTER VI Continued But, my Lady, allow me Keep your hands oil me, sir! I will not move. But, Senora, see. It Is night! We must go on. We must progress! "Progress! I have done nothing but progress for weeks months I And I arrive nowberel Now I will go no farther. The Capitan gripped his hands. But we have no water here, no food no provisions for the nightl We can not stay here. Up, Senora, come, come! This is serious." Eulalia settled herself firmly on the ground. "Serious! I should say It was serious. No water no food! Is that my fault? Is it my duty to see the skins and casks are Blled? Did I send the provisions ahead so that we should be without food? She tossed her hair out of her eyes and glared at him. Look at me! Look at me! Disheveled, dirty, hungry, thirsty, weary, and no place to lay my head! And it is your fault! Ah, wait until I tell his Excellency the Governor how you have treated mel Leading me Into this, and ofTering no relief except riding more and Tnor"thiIeiT6'some '"sprlhg'which no doubt will turn out to be a dry one!

It was only at the earnest solicitations of the Viceroy himself. In behalf of my friendship with your husband the Governor, that I undertook VII Pedro Pages listened to the report of Capitan Canete's Indians and dismissed them that they might eat and rest after their journey. Striding to the spring, the Governor splashed face and head, smoothed his hair with his fingers and wrung his beard. Then, cupping both hands to mouth, he whooped until the silent morning rang and echoed. Rise, my children! Rise and greet the fun! Rise and say your prayers, and hear the tidings! To- all-nig- "Nevertheless, you are responsible; you and the Viceroy and the King himself!" She clenched her hands and beat them on her breast "1 wish his Excellency the Viceroy Mayorga, and his Majesty the King of Spain could be here, in my place. If they're so anxious to make California a colony, why dont they come here themselves? Let them have the dirt and heat and thirst and cactus and rattlesnakes! Would they want it then? Would they call California the brightest jewel in the diadem of Spain?" She stamped her feet "No! No! They would say, as I do, 'My God, is this California? Let the Indians have it, or England, or whoever wants it! That's what they would say! And yet they let me, a poor, defenseless woman sacrifice herself to make California a crown Her voice reached pitch. "California, Spain's brightest Jewel! Her choicest possession! she mimicked ironically. Then her voice broke. rotten she egg! Spains and leaned sobbing screamed, against her saddle. By this time the whole cavalcade was milling around the spot Angustias stepped into the breach. She smoothed her mistress hair, arranged a scarf over it, patted the heaving shoulders and whispered meaningless, affectionate, comforting words. Then she turned to a hysterical Ca-net- "I think you can help my lady to mount now, she said. As the Capitan stooped td take the ladys foot in his hand he noticed the moonlight play a strange trick with Angustias face. It almost seem eiTlhat she Winked.' To make sure he gave the duena a lift into her own saddle. Thank you, sir, she said grimly. Then, "You are a gentleman, sir, but you need a firmer hand. Some time later they rode into the camp at Santa Martita, and found it in a great state of excitement. Far. far below them a pillar of fire blazed against the dark night, blazed, - and faltered and blazed again. Young Pedro riding before Canete, as the burro had dot been found, shivered.

Then they heard running feet i rooned in Mexico City, had copied the costume for Eulalia.1 But the had been hustled away into exile, and one of her regreta at leaving was that she had never worn the green velvet habit. Nevertheless it was packed in a leather trunk, which Angustias had marked with a green cross In a circle. And when the Governor of California greeted his lady wife he would see, pilnot a bedraggled, travel-staine- d covhead her in black, dusty grim ered with a rebozo like a Mexican peasant woman, but a real lady of high degree, her velvets green against a white Jennet, her proud head high with nodding plumes.

Yes, the green was a happy thought; green velvet and gems set oil a skin that is white and dazet zling Capitan Canete rode ahead, his perspiring brow furrowed with anxiety. By all the saints, this was the worst day of the entire journey! A narrow trail zigzagged down the aide of a mountain which seemed to bulge over the sea, thousands of feet below; a tortuous, treacherous trail, so narrow it was necessary for the cavalcade to travel in single file, and so winding the animals had almost to bend themselves double at some turns. When his thoughts permitted him, he admired the Governors lady, riding so calmly behind him, with never an outcry or even a gasp of fear as her trembling horse avoided rattlethe ever present snakes. and picked its way among rolling pebbles where a misstep would send horse and rider plunging to death down the mountainside into the ocean lapping hungrily beside-wind- low.

Curiosity overcame laziness, and soon the camp was buzzing with anticipatory preparations. The arrival of Canete meant new from home; letters, messages from Spain and Mexico. It meant a fiesta, tor there were women in the Capitana train, surely the Governor's lady would bring maidsl Don Pedro moved with dynamic energy. His eyes glowed, his step was light, his energy boundless and his orders legion. Indians were dispatched into the canons for deer, quail, rabbit, antelope. Others gathered wood and piled a mighty pyre on the beach. At last the Governor, having assigned to each his task, turned to one he would entrust only to himself. A large round tent which had remained rolled and packed on the journey, had been pitched some distance away from the camp. He entered it, and almost fell over a tiny Indian boy, naked as .a rabbit, brown as a berry, with wild bright eyes. "Ah, Escabellito! Lazy little one. begone and eat thy tortillas! Wouldst sleep all day? The child scampered toward the cooking fire, and the Governor went to work with the happy expression of a man performing a labor of love. He began opening bundles that had been a mystery on the trip as they had never been opened, and had to the ears. taxed the There were bright blankets of Indian weave, supple serapes In gay colors, skins of mountain lion, wildcat and bear, robes of otter and rabbit. These he spread on the ground until it was covered, arranging and rearranging until thetr disposal suited bis fancy. And as he worked he sang a little soldiers song beneath his breath. pack-anima- ls Eulalia had seen a painting of a lady of the French court dressed In green velvet riding habit, with voluminous draped skirt, tight fitting basque trimmed In rich cream lace, on her bead a saucy velvet hat with a nodding, sweeping plume.

Tonight she would see her husband again. Would he be the same?-Woul- d he look the same? She could picture him In armor and plumed helmet like the great conquistador, Cortez; or in rich velvets like the gentlemen of the viceregal court or as the Governor of the Californias, surrounded by bowing attendants. But no extension of her imagination could show Pedro Fages as he actually was, a bluff soldado de cuera. Early in the California campaigns he and his tough little company of Catalonian volunteers had adopted cuirasses of hide, and had immediately been dubbed, "the leather jackets soldados de cuera. And Don Pedro, though he had risen from a humble lieutenant of the Catalonian volunteers to the governorship of the Californias, was still only a soldado de cuera and wore his cuirass on all expeditions. His skin was tanned to the color of his jacket, his beard grizzled, his face lined. Poor lady! How could her imagination stretch to such imaging! As evening approached the trail twisted between two great arms of the mountain that opened to the Vermillion sea, and led gradually Into an arroyo. After a consultation with the Indian guides, Capitan Canete turned to the lady. It Is only several hours from here to the camp of his Excellency, and if you wish to stop and refresh yourself before going farther I will withdraw and send the bearers ahead. "I will gladly avail myself of the opportunity.

Slowly Angustias lifted out a garment, and shook it It was not velvet, and it was not green. Eulalia gasped. Grimly the duena began throwing things out of the chest on to the ground until it was strewn with garments. But the riding habit was not among them. And the were out of sight and sound. Angustias looked fearfully at her mistress whose lip trembled. What shall I do? Oh. Angustias. what shall I do? I had set my heart on that green velvet! Angustias braced herself. She could cope with the situation when her lady wept It was only the cold tearless storms that baffled her. She turned to the scattered garments. "Ai, God be praised! Nina, look!

Eulalia permitted herself to be dressed, at first submitting in sulky silence, then growing interested and at last enthusiastic as the charming little Maja costume was fitted to her. As she fussed, Angustias talked volubly. Eulalia spoke briskly. "Come now, woman, how do 1 look?" She pulled her little jacket over her bosom and turned slowly around. The tiny fitted jacket was of red with a little white lace collar, and pulls of golden-colore- d embroidery over the shoulders like epaulettes; sleeves broke the long close-fittinat the wrists with another puffing of satin, then tapered over her hands.

Stats Nevada Hotels Finds Parasite That Destroys Black Widows Eggs; May Control the Creature Spread of the black widow spider may soon be controlled by the laboratory propagation of a rare and tiny parasitic fly that preys on the egg sac of the spider, writes George Elwood Jenks in Nature Magazine. The fly, known to science as Gau-ra- x araneae, was discovered in Los Angeles about 40 years ago, but apparently was forgotten until Jenks rediscovered it In the spiders egg sacs: Nature -- has checks on the undue increase of many creatures in the form of parasites, and it is this minute fly that controls the black widow. Probably assisted by settlement, however, the black widow has been increasing in numbers despite the activities of Gaurax. The spider spins her sac about the eggs she deposits and remains on guard throughout the incubation period, but It sometimes happens the parasite evades heh watchful eyes and succeeds in laying Its own eggs on the surface of the sac. These eggs soon hatch, and the tiny maggots, provided with instinctive knowledge at birth, at once bore through the tough walla of the . T- S- Sag egg sac to feast on the eggs within. Jenks has experimented in an attempt to propagate this parasite, and has succeeded in raising several thousand under artificial conditions. The main problem at present is the preparation of a synthetic food for the larval flies that will substitute for the egg sacs of the spider. When this problem is solved, he believes it will be possible to propagate the parasites In Insectaries by the million for widespread distribution and thus check the increase of the black widow.
