to search in certain rancheria which he described, few miles off, and ln an opposite direction from the way ln which he intended to guide Don Anto- nio. As soon as the Americans had gone, he bound up Antonio's feet in strips of raw hide. gave him 8 blanket and all old tattered hat, the best his stores afforded, and then led him by q long and difficult trai! to a spot high up in the mountains where the old women of the band were gathering acorns. By the time they reached this place, blood was trickling from Antonio's feet and legs, and he was well-nigh fainting with fatigue and excitement. Tears rolled down the old women's cheeks when they saw him. Some of them had been ser wants in his fathers house aud loved him. One brought gruel; another bathed his feet; others ran in search of healing leaves of different sorts. Bruis. ing these in stone mortar, they rubbed him from head to foot with the wet fiber. All his pain and weariness van- ished as by magic. His wounds healed, and in day he was ready to set off for home. There was but one pony in the old women's camp. This was old, vicious, blind of one eye, and with one ear cropped short; but it looked to Don Antonio far more beautiful than the gay steed on which he had ridden away from Los Angeles three days before. There was one pair of ragged shoes ot enormous size among the old women's possessions. These were strapped on his feet by leather thongs, and bit of old sheepskin was tied around the pony's body. Thus accoutered and mounted, shivering in his drawers under his single blanket, the captain and fag-bearer turned his face homeward. At the first friends house he reached he stopped and begged for food. Some dried meat was given to him, and stool on the porch offered to him. It was the house of dear friend, and the friends sister was his sweetheart. As he sat there eating his meat the women eyed him cautiously. One said to the other, How much he looks like Antonio ?
 "Atlast the sweetheart, coming nearer, asked him if he were 'any relation of Don Antonio ?
 No he said.
 ssJust at that moment his friend rode up, gave one glance at the pitiful beggar sitting on his porch, shouted his name, dashed toward him, and seized him in his arms. Then was great laughing and half weeping, for it had been ru- mored that he had been taken prisoner by the Americans.
 'sFrom this friend he received well come gift of a pair of trowsers, many inches too short for his legs. At the next house his friend was as much too tall, and his second pair of gift trowsers had to be rolled up in thick folds around his ankles.
 "Finally, he reached Los Angeles in safety. Halting in grove outside the town, he waited till twilight before en- tering. Having disguised himself in the rags which he had worn from the Indian village, he rode boldly up to the porch of his fathers house, and in an impudent tone called for brandy. The terrified women began to scream; but his young, est sister, fixing one piercing glance on his face, laughed out gladly, and cried "tYou can't fool me, you are Anto- nio.

they were submitted. know, OF course, the modi-

| They are, however, as I said before. not In the

How viii you apport,on appointments Mr.
Eaton was asked.
| ~ am glad you asked the question. First. the
commission has nothing TO do with the service
| ss IL now IL. The civil Service law requires the
commission TO apporton appointments eQutably
ance with the 10th census; that is TO say, after
the law goes into fun force and effect are to
| apport!on all future appointments This, how
ever, has nothing to do with the examinations.
We can examine AS many applca nts as we may
see fit but required only TO make the equitable
apportionment or course, we cannot at the very
outset do this with exactness. For instance. take
] Rhode Island or Delaware; under the apportion-
ment they would not. perhaps, be entitled to one
| fractions. What We VIII do, however viii be 20

not do the llrst year. but in time we can even the

OPPOSITION EXPECTED.
Have you faith n the o. the civil service
law?
81 have, OF course. II is not expected In great
reform like this we are not TO encounter opposi-
tiOn. The great trouble the commission will have
| to encounter will not be In the appointments OF
| clerks In the departments In THIS city. 1t will
come when the custom houses and post Offices are
brought under the operations OF the law-when
politicians nnd out that no more can be put into
places In them except as result Of fair competi-

CIVIL service reform for many years, and am pre-
pared to meet all the attacks which Will BE- made
upon the commission"
