Headquarters. The British sailor has
scant reverence for soldiers OF his Own
land and less for those of any other, no
matter what the rank, and this particu-
lar son OF. the sea was more BritOn than
Yankee, despite the fact that he had
"sailed the California trade long years
of his life and had taken out his papers
in the early statehood of that wonder
full land. Ever since the days of Stock
ton and Kearney he had fed fat the an
cient grudge he bore the army and
steered as clear of soldier association as
was possible for man whose ship
was dependent in great measure on
army patronage. Days before his I'M
heralded coming to general headquar
tiers the rumors of Loring's bravery and
GOODNESS the night of the wreck had
been floating about the building. But
the engineer had drawn into his shell.
He came and went to and from the
Office assigned to him, working appar
emily over field reports and maps, and
never entered another room in the
building unless sent for. 1t was believed
that he had written urgently to the
chief of engineers requesting to be re-
lieved from further duty at San Fran
cisco. He was neither cleared nor con-
victed of the allegations at his expense.
There seemed no way of bringing about
either result in the absence or silence
of witnesses But meantime he had
bitterly resented the apparent readiness
of certain of the officials to look upon
him with suspicion and had withdrawn
from all except most formal and dis
tant association. No wonder he desired
to be relieved from further service with
or near them.
Mrs. Nevins had insisted on remov-
ing to cheap lodging in Sacramento as
soon as able to move at all, and had
taken her dependent sister with her,
sorely against that young woman g wish,
as she had made an impression, decid-
ed impression upon an unmarried aid
de camp who was reported to be wealthy,
but whose attentions fell short of the
matrimonial point as the poverty OF
the sisters became revealed to him.
There was, therefore, no longer to Lor-
ing the possible embarrassment of meet
ing or seeing the girl who had SO
wronged him, yet there was constant
evidence Of the seeds that she had sown
Some man, he felt sure, must have kept
alive the rumors to his discredit, and
the extreme constraint of manner, the
avoidance shown by this very gentle
man, stamped him in all probability as
the person at fault. Loring was only
waiting now for proofs.
1t so happened the very day the stanch

COLD WEATHER FOR POULTRY.

Many people in this part of the State re port
that the recent cold snaps have seriously af
fected the egg production of their hens. The
reason is that poultry requires different food
in the cold weather than in warm. They re-
quire more heat in their bodies, and more
phosphites in their food. Pages Perfect
Poultry Food seems to supply all those needs.

country. Send your name postal card to

Dread OF Drudse-y.

Many people fall to get on in the

They gladly pick the flowers in their

that are easy and agreeable, but shirk

The best way to overcome this dread
Of drudgery is to determine resolutely
to do the disagreeable things first.
Take hold OF them with vigor, as you
would grasp a nettle If you would

will find what seemed 80 difficult In

An, Lrlislta vas very lovely, but
she was only LuisiiN, all told, while
to see Pablo overtaken by his own
curse would be vengeance absolute
and perfect, and the savage within
him arose and clamored for revenge,
sitting all tenderer feelings in its
intensity.
He was going away, he told her
folks, far away, perhaps ten miles
beyond the valley, and, knowing Luz
isita's glances had never wholly
turned from the handsome figure
of Pablo, he chuckled to himself at
the obvious outcome. l.aisita would
be easily consoled, and when she was
married to the hated Pablo, just
when he thought himself comforta-
bly, ensconced in the seventh heav-
en-, the curse upon e'whomsoeveF'
she married would descend. Then
would he, Jose, come back to gioat
over him, mock him, jeer at him,
watch the failure of his every un-
aeTtahiug and recall the scene of
the cursing. Oh, that would be a
proud day!
Jose's wanderings covered many
montha He penetrated not only
ten but hundreds Of miles beyond
the valley. He saw things and did
things he would have thought be-
yond belief in the shadow of Lis
own little patio and returned at
length with his horizon trifle
broader, but his longing to gloat
over his fallen rival no whit abated.
So promptly the day after he reach
ed home he betook himself to see
the desolation wrought upon Pablo
during his absence, to taunt him
/; with the curse wkerewith ne had
ruined himself, to repeat the words
"Stay there, then, till you die" and
SO on, for he had it all at his
! tongues eud and would repeat it
slowly while he watched his victim
writhe and cringe before him.
But as he made his way down the
little, crooked street, his lips NOV
ing with the monologue he was pre-
pairing, he stopped suddenly, and his
/ jaw dropped. There sat Pablo Varo
, on the sunny side of little patio,
looking the very happiess Of men,
/, and with good reason. The sun was
warm, the subject of crops didn't
bother him in the least, and Luisita,
nesting beside him with the nina
J on her lap, was incontestably his.
/ Not until then did Jose realize that
he had outwitted himself and that
he was many times fool.-Argo-
