Ramona, The blessed child"" Father
Salvierderra, nearing his journeys
end. cried out with Joy. Through the
golden mustard tangle that overhung
his path a dark-haired maiden came
swiftly to meet him At sight of
Ramona's angelic face the aged Fran
ciscan forgot his weariness, almost
forgot his burden of grief over his
beloved Missions. despoiled and crum-
bling. A silent blessing. and he fol-
lowed her contentedly to the Moreno
ranch. where sbeepshearing had been
delayed until his visit that he might
confess the shearing band.
Before Mexico's surrender Of Cali
fornia, Gen. Moreno's estates were
lordly indeed; now huge portions had
been Topped away by the United
States Land Commission and the gen.
erals widow revenged her losses by
d n ouncing all Americans as

Sonora Moreno. whom her handsome,
gentle son Felipe obeyed in every
thing and knew it not! Yet she never
suspected that Felipe's affection for
Ramona could be more than brother
ly; she had never loved the girl. For
Ramona was not of Moreno blood.
Her father was a tempestuous Scotch
man who. cruelty Tilted by the
Scnora's sister. married an Indian
woman. To his old love. childless and
unhappy. he gave his beautiful blue
eyed baby to rear as her own. At
Sonora Ortegna's death the child came
as a legacy to Sonora Moreno, but at
19, Ramona still waited to learn the
mystery Of her parentage. The stern,
silent Sonora would not tell.
The Indian sheepshearers arrived at
sunset, just at Ramona hurried to
the brook to wash an altar-cioth. Her
face aglow. she bent over the stones
all unconscious that Alessandro, cap
tain of the shearing band, beholding
her. stood spell-bound.
When Father Salvierderra led the
household sunrise hymn next morn
ing, new rich barytone voice thrilled
Ramona strangely.
II Inever heard anything like it."
she told Felipe.
That is Alessandro, old Pablo's son
"a splendid fellow. He plays the
violin beautifully. the old San Luis
Rey music. His father was band
master there"
strengthening began most un-
fortunately. Felipe. up too soon
from a long illness. suffered a re-
lapse while packing the dusty
heeces. Only Alessandro could
soothe his delirium: accordingly,
Alessandro was persuaded to re-
main until the invalid should re-
cover.
As Felipe improved. he lived on
