Days Journey Apart.

The missions were located one days
journey apart, and consisted of large
buildings, like the monasteries Of south
ern Spain. with dark. cool cioisters in
closing courts filled with fountains and
flowers. Attached TO each was chapel
and each chapel had a picturesque tower
hung with bells. which called the Indians
to prayers. The buildings were of the
most substantial materials that could he
found-generaliH stone quarrlcd In the
neighborhood, the walls were as thick
and solid those Of a fortress, Tor the
missions were places Of defense rs Well
as devotion. The monks We're the archi-
tects and engineers: the Indians did the
labor, and the remains that may be seen
today testify to the skill OF the design
and the thoroughness OF the work.
There was a great deal of trouble with
the Indians at first, which was due al
most entirely to tie evil conduct OF the
soldiers who gsrrisoned the presidios
that were established in the neighborhood
of each mission. But finally the patience
and the tact OF the friarS Wen confidence
and gave them unlimited influence over
the simple children of nature who were
gradually gathered In villages around tho
missions and were taught the peaceful
trades. Each mission became a center or
civilization and there remain today IN
the neighborhood Of the monasteries
prosperous cities or thriving villages In
which may be found descendants OF In
dams converted by those brave aud lar
sighted monks.
The missions were hospiccs for travel
ers. Every conner WAS welcomed, ana
was given food and shelter without price
and no questions asked. although II was
expected that those who accepted the
hospitality OF the monks would drop
whatever contribution he could afford
into the aims box at the door.

About three miles above the mission is
a remarkable illustration of the engineer
ing skill OF the monks, who built an irri-
CATION system about ITO years ago to
water their farms. There is a dam ana
reservoir and an aauednct constructed
with tiles imbedded in p mass of cobble
stones and cement. which passed through
a deep precipitous gorge and crossed sew
