ish love story was published in which
there was an imaginary island in the
Far East called California. Some fif-
teen years later a party of Spanish
adventures came upon the peninsula
which we now call Lower California.
Believing that they had discovered
romantic island similar to the one in
the novel, they called it California.
Later on, the territory to the north
became known as Alta California or
High California and when it became
a state, it was accordingly called Cali
fornia. The first settlers were the
Franciscan monks who came up from
Mexico and established missions, and
many are the legends woven around
these pioneer Padres. There shortly
grew up Mexican settlements around
the missions which the wonderful
climate and fertile soil prOspered
Some few settlers from the eastern
states made their way to the coast
and by sea the New England trading
vessels found welcome in the splendid
harbOrs.
The government, while under MeXi-
can control, was more or less indie
pendent, and at the outbreak of the
Mexican war, Fremont, who was later
defeated for the presidency, occupied
California. When peace was made
in 1913, California became United
States territory. That same year gold
was discovered In the Sacramento Val
ley and the rush Of people to Califor-
MIA began. The population grew so
rapidly that in 1850 California was ad-
mitted as the thirty-first state Of the
Union. With its 15S,297 square miles,
It is the largest state except Texas.
Politically, its power has been rapidly
growing. California now has thirteen
presidential electors.

CHAPTER XIV.

Throughout the forenoon Webster
and Dolores, from the deck Of the
steamer, watched the city. By ten
O'Clock :he sounds of battle had swell
ed to a deeper, steadler roar, and
refugees arriving brought various and
fragmentary stories Of the fighting.
From this hOdge-podge of misInforma-
ton, however. Webster decided that
Ricardo's troops were forcing the is
sue with vim and determination, and
since the most furious fighting was
now well in toward the heart of the
city. II seemed reasonable to presume
the struggle was for possession Of the
arsenal ond palace.
AT noon the deep dlapason of con-
aIct began to slacken; by one o'clock
n had dwindled considerably. and at
two o'clock Webster, gazing anxiously
edward, observed Leber's lounch
coming rapidly out from shore. At
the wheel stood Don Juan Cafetero (;

aePs side he looked up, searching for

his right shoulder and another through
the calf of his leg and had received no
first aid attention; the flies were both
ering him considerably and he was
cursing softly and fluently, like the ex-
mule-skinner he was.
Farther on another white invader
lay face down in the gutter; for him
the fight had ended almost ere 1t had
begun. In the next block half a doz-
en- sandal-footed Sobranteans, in the
blue and red-trimmed uniform Of the
Guardla Civil, lay sprawled In uncOuth
attitudes, where the first blast Of a
machine gun had caught them as they
rushed out of the police station to re-
pei the advancing mercenaries.
Seeing that the main street Of the
city would assume even a more grisly
aspect the longer they followed It, Don
Juan led Webster and Dolores a cou-
pie of blocks down a cross street and
turned out into the Gale de Herman
DEE, parallel to the Gale San Rosario.
There had been no shooting In this
street, apparently; as they proceeded
not even stray bullet whined down
the silent Gale.
Four blocks from the government
palace they found the narrow side
walks of this quiet street lined with
wounded from both sides, with a doc
tor and half dozen of RicardO's hired
fighters ministering to them; as they
threaded their way between the recum.
bent figures they came upon Mother

pressed by the apparent femInlnlty,
neatness and self-respect Of the
young woman attending the counter.
He didn't like to see her handling
worn shoes. He was wishing she we're

shoes were passed along from the
workman to her. She took them,
looked at the tag, called a boy and

London Is famous for its-fogs. Why3
Because for one reason, London Is a
city. Cities make smoke, and smoke
makes fog. Doubtless London fogs
