tered She felt Indifferent to everything but
the certain plasure of the day. Rezanov
was sure to be charming. What mattered
the morrow, and possible nights of doubt
despair hatred of life and wondering self
contempt?
Rezanov awaited the canoes in the Prov
of the ship. He wore undress uniform and
a cap instead of the cooked hat of cere-
mony which had excited their awe. He,
too tingled with a sense of youthful gayety
and adventure. AS he helped his guests up
the side OF the vessel. and listened to the
delighted laughter of the girls, saw the
dancing eyes OF even the naughty and re-
served Santiago, he also dismissed the NOR
row from his thoughts.
AS Dona Ignacia was hauled to the deck,
uttering embarrassed apologies for bringing
the two little girls, ReZanov protested that
he adored children, patted their heads, and
told of young sailor to amuse them
Four tables the deck were set with
coffee, chocolate, Russian tea and strange
sweets that the cook had fashioned from
ingredients to which his skillfut fingers had
long been strangers.
when she had tried both the tea and the
coffee and had asked for the recipe of the
sweets, he said casually: After breakfast
1 shall ask you to go down to the cabin
for a few moments. l bought the cargo
with the Juno, and find there are several
articles which l shall beg as great favor
to present to my kindest Of hostesses and
the young girls she has been good enough
to bring to my ship. ShaWlS and ellis of
cotton and all that sort of thing are of
no use to bachelor. and I hope you will
rid me of some Of them"
Dona Ignacia lost all interest in the
breakfast and presently, murmurlng an ex-
cuse, was escorted by Langsdorfr down to
the cabin. When the light repastN was
over, Rezanov made signal to several
sailors who awaited commands, and they

went to several impromptu dances at the
Preside and Mission, but he pleaded ia
tigue natural in the damaged state of his
constitution. and left the ship only for
gallop over the hills or down the coast with
Luis Arguello.
But he had never felt better. At the end
of week his pallor had gone, his skin was
tanned and fresh. Even his wretched crew
were different men. They were given much
leave on shore, and already might be seen
escortng the serving women over the hills
in the late afternoon. ReZanov gave them
a long rope, although he knew they must
be terminating with mutinous distaste of
the Russian north; he kept strict watch
over them and would have given deserter
/, his due without an instant's pause.
The estafette that had gone with Luis
letters to Monterey had taken one from
Rezanov as well. asking permission to pay
q visit of ceremony to the governor. Five
days later the plenipotentiary received a
polite welcome to California, and protest
against another long journey; the humble
servant of the King of Spain would HIM
self go to San Francisco at once and oner
the hospitality of California to the Illus
trious representative of the Emperor OF all
the Russians.
Rezanov was not only annoyed at the
governors evident determination that he
should see as little as possible of the in
| significant military equipment of California
| but at the delay to his own plans for ex-
| ploration. He knew that Luis would dare
take him upon no expedition into the heart

or inexhaustible surprise The musicians
watching her began to play more slowly.
Concha her arms still ~supine, her head
lifted her eyes half yelled, began TO dance
I'm stately and measured fashion that
seemed to powder her hair and dissolve
the partitions before an endless vista OF
rooms Rezanov had sudden vision or
the Hall of the Ambassadors in the royal
palace at Madrid where when q young
man on his travels, he had attended state
ball There he had seen the most dlgnlheo
beauties OF Europe dance at the most
formal of its courts. But Concha created
the Illusion of having stepped down from
the throne in some bygone iashloh 10
dance alone for her subjects and adorers.
She raised her arms. barely budding at
the top. with a gesture that was not only
the poetry of grace but as though bestow,
ing some royal favor; when she curved
and swayed her body again 1t was with
the lofty sweetness of one too highly placed
to descend to mere seductfveness. she
glided up and down, back and forth, with
a dreamy, revealing motion as II assisting
10 shape some vague, imprisoned image IN
the brain of a poet. She lifted her little
feet In a manner that transformed boards
into clouds. There were moments when she
seemed actually to soar.
..She is a little genius!" thought Rezanov
enthusiastically. Anything could be made
of a woman like that
1t was not her dancing alone that in
terested him. but its effect on her audience.
The young men had begun with audible
expressions of approval. They were now
shouting and stamping and clapping. Sud

be laughingly ignored. Rezanov looked
on in amazement wondering II this We're
a part of the performance and II he
should follow suit. But after a glance at
the faces of the young men, lost to every
thing but-their passionate admiration for
the unique and beautiful dancing of their
Favorita and when Sturgis. after wildly

cold, naughty solemn stern to others and
himself, you see him: but once In a
while-Madre de Dios! The Preside does
not sleep for three nights!'
Rezanov laughed heartily. then turned
abruptly away. Come" he said. Il had
almost forgotten. Will you ask the others
dinner shall be served on your island?'
In the cabin Concha forgot him for
few moments. Her mother, her eyes dwell
ling fondly upon several shawls she hoped
ing the baby to sleep in the deep chair Of
his excellency. Ana Paula was playing
with an Alaskan doll she had appropriated
without ceremony. ReZanov came in when
his guests were assembled, and ne had a
gift for each; curious objects Of Alaskan
workmanship for the men, miniature totem
poles and fur bordered moccasins; but silk
and cotton, linen, shawls and fine handker-
chiefs for sonora and maiden
''They are trifies," he said, in response
to an enthusiastic chorus THE cargo l
was obliged to take over was a very large
one You must not protest. l shall never
miss these things And he knew that he
had sown the seeds of a rapacity similar
to that implanted in the worthy bosoms
Of the priests when they had paid him
their promised visit. If the governor were
insensible to diplomacy he would have
pressure brought to bear upon his official
integrity from more quarters than one.
There are also many of the presents re-
jected by the mikado, somewhere" he added
carelessly. But I could not find them

and quite impartial as he distributed his
offerings with a chosen word to each; his
memory for little characteristics was as
remarkable as for names and faces. He
had taken off his cap on deck and the
breeze had ruffled his thick fair hnir
brought the blood to his thin cheeks. The
lines of his face, but by privation and anX-
iety and illness, had almost disappeared
with the renewed elasticity Of the flesh
and his blue eyes were wide open, and
sparkling in sympathy with the pleasure
of his guests and the success of his own
strategy. These few Insignificant Span
iards dislodged, a half-dozen forts in this
harbor. and the combined navies of the
world might be defied; while a great chain
of hungry settlements fattened and pros
pered exceedingly on the beneficence of the
most fertile land in all the Americas.
