CHAPTER v.
OAQUIN'S heart was, indeed,
singing, and so were his lips as
he logged homeward:: He car
~ ried some oats for his horse
and some dried beef for himself and
again he took two days to make the
journey; at night he slept on the
ground, wrapped In his serape and the
saddle blanket. When he rode into
the great yard fronting on the haci-
enda Of the Rancho Del Luis Rey,
brave in his newly purchased finery.
it was evening and from the colonade
where she sat with her father, Juanita
De La Cuesta saw him.
"Yonder. my father" she mur-
INJURED, comes our peon from Sonora,
but he is peon no longer"
Don Ricardo stared hard. THAT
fellow has been spending money,
Juanita. Where, then, did he obtain
it?" He stood up. ''Hola, Murietta,
come hither"
Obediently Joaquin turned his
horse, rode up to the colonade, dis
mounted and stood respectfully, hat
In hand. Don Ricardo gazed upon
him disapprovingly. You purchased
this new clothing?" he queried.
Joaquin bowed in the affirmative.
Where did you procure the
money!"
Joaquin told him.
But this is an impertinence," Don
Ricardo reminded him. 1T is not
permissible for one of my poems to
array himself as if he were the son of
this house"
Il was born, Don Ricardo, 1t seems,
with great wish to dress fashion,
ably and in good taste. And God, I
think, did not give me an ungainly
figure. 1t is true l am peon, but
it is not true that because am a
peon must always remain one"
That is we'll. I am not, as you
should know, a harsh man. but the
proprieties must be observed. And
did you also purchase that magnifl-

The horse is yours. Don Ricardo.

thought it we'll to give him a long
ride to take the edge from him"
And this by the orders of Felipe
Sanchez"
Juanita flashed him a warming
glance and Joaquin interpreted it
clearly. but he would not lie to save
her and then ask Sanchez to make
good that lie. The girls restrained
cordiality oppressed him, for in his
way Joaquin. too, was a stickler for
the proprieties. Also the sadness
the apprehension she caused Rosita
annoyed him. He answered:
| mo. Don Ricardo, although Felipe

has not protested it. I gentle this

Juanita."
"Ah," Don Ricardo murmured
THAT is all. You may CO."
When Joaquin had reached the
corral Don Ricardo spoke to his
daughter, first having desolated her
with his long silence.
Blood of the devil" he rasped
"You, who have two of the best
hammered, best-bred and handsomest
horses I ever raised, require new
mount, eh?" He turned smoldering
glance upon his daughter. Why. II
you desired this palomilla, did you
not communicate your desire to me
instead of direct to this handsome
peacock?"
Il have erred, my father" Juanita
answered humbly. TT was the i'm
pulse of a moment" But her face
was white and the tears Of her temper
were visible.
Il have not forgotten how favor
ably you were impressed with this

rived" he warned. 'Peon that he Is
it might well be that he has the
power to turn the head of De La
Cuesta. However" he added biting
ly and with an unsupported shrewd-
ness, 1T is not his intention to pre-
sumo, otherwise he would have lied
and attributed his orders to Felipe
Sanchez. You have been rebuked-
and by peon. You have been suffi-
GENTLY punished and we will say nc
more about this matter. 1t is In
my mind that you will not again for
get your dignity as my daughter"
He rose and walked across to the
corral, meeting Joaquin as the lat
ter came out
"Murietta," he charged, you lack
q certain gallantry. Are you aware
Of that?"
Il am, Don Ricardo"
1T is we'll that you are For your
other estimable qualities give that
palomilla to you"
| Il shall be ever grateful. Don Ri

such q gracious mood, may I pre-
sumo to ask favor?"
What is it?" the don inquired
sunspiciously.

Jesus and my old mother are at a
place called Suffers Fort and I have
a yearning to join them"
"A justifiable yearning, Murietta
You may go as you came-of your
own free will"
Il thank you, sir. In my own
time, may l return?"
Don Ricardo waved his hands to
signify that this was a matter OF
no importance to him. One mouth OF
a hundred more to feed. it did not
matter Aside from his stern and
( unyielding allegiance to the code OF
his class. he was a kindly and just
man. Also, bit of Wag.
There is. then. some great attrsc-
ton for you at my rancho?" he
parried.
Il admit it. Rosita. the daughter
of Felipe Sanchez. I have fallen in

Scattered as they have been, how.

Most of these exiles, impover-

the time to escape with their lives

homeless people who found they

THEIR MECCA
New York, then, the coSmopoli-

realistic enough to waste no time
brooding about the grandeur that

The Senator'S announcement follows a statement by
Representative Mary T. Norton to the effect that she
will make similar effort at the Democratic National
Convention.
Thus is indicated sentiment on both sides of the
Capitol to do something for the voteess residents Of
Washington.
