she said nothing, gave no sign. She

her spirit for five years; she would
give them no satisfaction now. Five
years. One day. San Antonio-Tam-

gave no sign. Curiously, the picture
that was passing in her mind was this:
she saw herself, as though it were
some one she had known in the dim,
far past, standing in the cool, shady
corridor of the mission school in Wich-
tia. She saw, through the open door,
the oblong of Kansas sunshine and sky
and garden; there swept over her
again that wave of nostalgia she had
felt for the scene she was leaving she
was shaken by terror of this strange
Indian country to which she was going
with her husband.

It was into the hands of Don Felipe

governor of the province Of California
in 1881, that Carlos III, king of Spain,
intrusted the duty of founding Los

In order to establish in California

related that Don Felipe came from the
capital at Monterey with a military
escort to the mission of San Gabriel
late in August. 1871. The mission Of
San Gabriel was already prosperous
and well established, having had its
beginning ten years before.
Don Felipe and his escort spent sew

the morning Of September A, set out
upon a march which took them three
leagues westward to that spot which
is still the plaza of Los Angeles. Moth

Since the great trade routes of the
Middle ages, Frankfort-on-the-Main
has played one of the most important
parts in the commercial activities Of
all Europe. and for many years was
the undisputed mistress of the interna-
tional money market. However, her
simplicity and quiet charm have not
been affected by her eminent position
in international affairs She reflects
her ancient walls and towers in the
clear waters of the Main with a mod
est dignity becoming beloved mon
arch. 1t is no wonder she beguiled
and endeared herself so keenly to the
heart of Goethe, her native son, who
was inspired to write his famous opera
"Faust," in the first part of which old
Frankfort breathes in almost every
verse.

CHAPTER TX

Remember the Maine! To hi
with Spain!" You read this inflam-
ing sentiment on posters and banners
and on little white buttons pinned to
coat lapels or dress fronts. The Okla
homa Wigwam bristled with new
words: Manila bay Hobson-Philip-
pines. Through the Southwest SOM
treros suddenly became dust-colored
army hats with broad, fiat brims and
peaked crowns.
Rough Riders! Here was some
thing that the Oklahoma country knew
and understood lean, hard young
men who had practically been born
with horse under them and a gun in
hand; riders, hunters, dead shots; sun
burned, keen eyed, daredevil. Their
uniforms, worn with swagger, had
about them dashing something that
the other regiments lacked. And their
lieutenant colonel and leader was that
energetic, toothy young fellow who
was making something of stir in
New York state-Roosevelt, his name
was. Theodore Roosevelt.
Usage was shaken by chills and
fever; the hot spasms of patriotism,
the cold rigors Of virtue. One day the
good wives of the community would
have a meeting at which they ar
ranged for home-cooked supper, with
coffee, to be served to this or that
vor;rooD+ TI,o,r ooturac would So toy,
with sentiment, their bosoms heave
with patriotic pride. Next day, eyes
narrowed, lips forming a straight line,
they met to condemn Dixie Lee and
her ilk, and to discuss ways and means
for Kidding the town of their contain
mating presence.
The existence of this woman In the
town had always been a fostering sore
to Sabra. Dixie Lee, the saloons that
still lined Pawhuska avenue, the gam
bling houses, all the paraphernalia Of
vice, were anathema Jumped together
in the minds Of the redoubtable sun
bonnets. A new political group had
sprung up, ostensibly on the platform
Of civic virtue. In reality they were
tired of seeing all the plums dropping
into the laps of the early-day crew,
made up of such strong-arm politicians
as had been the first to shake the ter
ritorial tree. In the righteous ladies
of the Wyatt type they saw their
chance for strong ally. The saloons
and the gamblers were too firmly in
trenched to be moved by the reform
element: they had tried it. Sabra
had been urged to help. In the col
umns of the Oklahoma Wigwam she
had unwisely essayed to conduct a
campaign against Wick Mongold' s
saloon, in whose particularly lawless
back room it was known that the
young boys of the community were in
the habit of meeting. With Gins flu
ture in mind (and as an excuse) she
wrote stirring editorial in which
