Delina dc Capalleja, after months of
deferred hope, stood with the crowd ut
the dock, awaiting the return of the
troop which had gone to defend the
mission of San Gabriel in its building.
There was no flutter of color beneath
her white skin, and tho hcaHily-lashed
lids almost concealed the impatient
depths of the eyes; the proud rcposc of
the head indicated the reserve and self
control of her nature. Over her white
gown and black dense hair she wore a
black lace mantilla, fastened below
the throat with large yellow rose.
The ship swung to anchor and
answered the salute from the fort.

nor soldiers descended. The murmur
Of disappointment on the shore rose to
shout of eXccration. Then, rs the

themselves to the earth, beating their
heads and brcasts-all but Dclfina dc
Capalleja, who drew her mantilla about
her face and walked away.

swarmed like ants over the great nave
and transept. Those who were not
lighting smashed the altar and slashed
che walls. The callous stars looked
through the apertures left for windows,
and shed pallid light upon the with
ing mass. The padres had defended
their altar, behind the chanccl rail; but
they lay trampled, with arrows vibrat-
ing in their hurd old muscles.
De In Tore forced his way to the
door and stood for II moment, solitary,
against the pale light of the open, then

trees behind it, while an outer circle of

time they came back for visit.
Only grandma clung to it closer and

busy sons and fashionable daughters

she fell a-dreaming of by-gonc times,
when her faithful John had brought
her bride to this dear home, which
seemed.so grand and beautiful then,
after an orphaned childhood and girl
hood without n settled home.
How could it ever seem lonely and
humble to her, when it was so rich in
thousand happy, blessed associations?
Had not she and John planted that
very mountain ash together? Had not
that been Johns favorite rose bush?
And could the rooms ever seem empty
and cramped to her, when every nook
and corner spoke to her, sometimes of
the living or the dead, as clopuently
as tongue could do?

Gabriel. The Indian worllmcn were
slugs; California, Il vast region inhab-
tied only by savnges and Il few priests,
offered slender attractions to n young
officer craving the gay pleasures of his
icapital and the presence of the woman
he was to marry. For months he had
watched the mission church mount
slowly from foundation to towers,
then spread into pillarcd corridors and
rooms for the clergy. He could have
mapped in his mind every acre of the
wide, beautiful valley girt by noun
tains showed on their crests. lie had
thought it all very lovely ut first, the
Iyellow atmosphere, the soft, abiding
warmth, the blue rejecting lake; but
the green on mountain and flat had
waxed to gold, then wancd to tan and
tbrown, and he was tired. Not even a
hostile Indian had come to be killed.
He was very good looking, this
tall young Spaniard, with his
Impatient eyes and naughty, in
ltclligcnt face. and it is pos
isible that the lady in Mexico had added
to his burden by doleful prayers to re-
turn. He took letter from his pocket,
read it half through, then broke from
himself and walked rapidly over to the
mission, seeking interest in the work
of the Indians Under the keen, mer-
CHESS supervision of the padres-thc

foot in America-they were mixing and
laying the adobcs, making nails and
tiles, hewine uQucduc;s, fasltoning

Tore speculatcd, after his habit, upon
the future of Il country so beautiful
and so, fertile, which a dozen priests
had made their own. Would these In

terrified into worthy citizens of this fair
land? Could the clear white flame that
burned in the brains of the padres
strike fire in their ncpphytcs' narrow
skulls, create soul in those grovclliu.
bodies? He dismissed the question.
Would men of race, tempted by the
LONELINESS Of this great gold-haired
honri sleeping on the Pacific, come
from old and new Spain and dream
away Il life of pleasure? What grapes
would grow out of this rich soil to be
crushed by Indian slaves into red wine.
And did gold vein those velvet hills?
How all fruits, all grains, would thrive.

might attend: it was long since any

sympathy felt for Dclfina de Capalleia,
Mexico's most beautiful woman,
served to shake society from peak to
base, and no event had ever been
anticipated with more enthusiasm than
the casting OF that silver bell. No one
had seen Delfina since the arrival of
the news which had broken so many
hearts, and great was the curiosity re-
garding her possible presence at the
ceremony. Universal belief was

After the reading Supt. Gilbert took
occasion to explain that he had drawn
the report at the instance of the COM
mittee and that lie had earefullyomitted
the Objectionable clause that prescribed
that the board should drop teachers that
fail to pass the examination, OR rather
to drop those that fail to qualify tor
permanent employment under the new
law.
Dir. Smith thought that the wording
might be SO construed as to require an
annual election while it is seemingly
palpable that the intention of the law is
to avoid this very thing. He then asked
why the examinations had not been held
and the superintendent explained the
course of the committee outlined above
The committee had concluded it wise
to postpone the examination for two
months when III would be more satisfac-
tory TO the principals. They waited
upon the committee, it seems, with a
petition for this course. Mr.. Gilbert

opportunity the same time with the

timated that this action was really taken

much as the committee on schools had
been increased by the addition of two.
new members, and that gave majority
of the board. ~
DO you mean to say that there was full
meeting of the committee when this action
was taken?" asked Mr. Smith.
Yves, think so, returned Mr.. Gilbert.
Then Mr.. Pyle explained that there,
was some mistake about this, as Dr.
Smith is member of the committee
and he was not in attendance. Other
wise the meeting was full. Mr. Pyles
at some length, explained the position
of the committee, but DR.. Smith insist
ed that not one valid excuse had been
offered for reversing the action of the
board. He felt that it tends to bring
the board into contempt to have COM
mittee positively instructed to do Ger
tain thing, and then have this commit
tee take it upon itself to upset the acts
