CHAPTER vI-Continued

"But, my Lady, allow me-"
keep your hands off me, sirl I
will not move"
'But, Sonora, see, it is night! We
must go on. We must progress!"
Progress! I have done nothing
but progress for weeks-months
And I arrive nowhere! Now I will
60 no farther"
The Captain gripped his hands.
"But we have no water here, no
food-no provisions for the night!
We can not stay here. UP, Sonora,
come, come! This is serious"
Eulalia settled herself firmly on
the ground.
Serious! / should say it was Sc
rious. No water-no food! Is that
my fault? Is it my duty to see the
skins and casks are filled? Did I
send the provisions ahead so that
we should be without food?"
She tossed her hair out of her eyes
and glared at him.
'Look at me! Look at me! Di-
sheveled, dirty, hungry, thirsty,
weary, and no place to lay my
head! And it is your fault! All, wait
until I tell his Excellency the Gov
ernor how you have treated me!
Leading me into this, and offering
no relief except riding more and
more miles to some spring which
no doubt will turn out to be dry
one! You are responsible!"
Canete's dignity was touched.
"Senora, it was certainly not I
that suggested this trip. 1t is no
pleasure jaunt to me, assure you.
1t was only at the earnest solicita-
tions of the Viceroy himself, in be-
half of my friendship with your hus-
band the Governor, that undertook
it,"
Nevertheless, you are RESPONSE
BILE; you and the Viceroy-and the
King himself"
She clenched her hands and beat
them on her breast.
II wish his Exce1lency the Vice
roy Mayorga, and his Majesty the
King Of Spain could be here, in
my place. If they're so anxious to
make California a colony, why don't
they come here themselves? Let
them have the dirt and heat and
thirst and cactus and rattlesnakes!
Would they want it then? Would
they call California the brightest
jewel in the diadem of Spain?"
She stamped her feet.
"No! No! They would say, as /
do, My God, is this California? Let
the Indians have it, or England, or
whoever wants it'll That's what they
would say! And yet they let me, a
poor, defenseless woman sacrifice
herself to make California crown
jewell"
Her voice reached hysterical
pitch.
California, Spain's brightest jew
ell! Her choicest possession!" she
mimicked Ironically. Then her voice
broke.
"Spain's rotten egg!" she
screamed, and leaned. sobbing
against her saddle.
BY this time the whole cavalcade
was milling around the spot.
Angustias stepped into the breach.

to death down the mountainside
into the ocean tapping hungrily be-
low.
What a woman! And after that
scene of last night.
But the lady's head was full Of
other things: the green velvet habit,
the jewels that lay dark in the little
case strapped to her jennet, only
waiting a CLEAN Of light to make
them leap and glow like green
flames. against her white skin.
Tonight she would see her husband
again.
Would he be the same? Would he
look the same? She could picture
him in armor and plumed helmet
like the great conquistador, Cortez;
or in rich velvets like the gentlemen
Of the viceregal court, or as the
Governor of the CALIFORNIA;, sur
rounded by bowling attendants.
But no extension of her imagina-
ton could show Pedro FACES as he
actually was, bluff soldado de
Guerra. EARLY in the California cam
paigns he and his tough little COM
pany of Catalonian volunteers had
adopted cuirasses Of hide, and had
Immediately been dubbed, "the
leather jackets -soldados de Guerra.
And Don Pedro, though he had risen
from humble lieutenant of the Cat
alonian volunteers to the governor
ship Of the CALIFORNIA;, was still only
a soldado de Guerra and wore his
cuirass on all expeditions. His skin
was tanned to the color of his jack
ct, his beard grizzled, his face lined.
Poor lady! How could her inagi-
nation stretch to such imaging!
AS evening approached the trail
twisted between two great arms of
the mountain that opened to the
Vermillion sea, and led gradually
into an arroyo.
After consultation with the In
dian guides, Captain Canete turned
to the lady.
'It is only several hours from
here to the camp Of his Excellency,
and if you wish to stop and refresh
yourself before going farther I will
withdraw and send the bearers
ahead"
II will gladly avail myself of the
opportunity. You are very kind"
said Eulalia with smile that wiped
out all the calumnies Of the night
before. $50 kind that I will ask
you to get me one chest from my
belongings = a large iron-studded
chest-marked with green cross
in a circle"
Canete looked at the chests and
boxes strapped on the weary bur-
ros and opened his mouth. But Eu-
lalia smiled again.
The captain approached the anil
mails, searched carefully, then
called an Indian who carried the
trunk to the lady. Then the train
moved on out of sight down the can
yon.
Eulalia and Angustias unfastened
the great lock with little laughing
cries of anticipation. Slowly Angus
tias lifted out garment, and shook
it. 1t was not velvet, and it was
not green. Eulalia gasped.
Grimly the duenna began throwing

alcade Of Captain Canete Rise,
beggars, vagabonds!"
Curiosity overcame laziness, and
soon the camp was buzzing with an
ticipatory preparations. The arrival
of Canete meant news from home;
letters, messages from Spain and
Mexico. 1t meant a fiesta, for there
were women in the Captains train,
surely the Governors lady would
bring maids!
Don Pedro moved with dynamic
energy. His eyes glowed, his step
was light, his energy boundless and
his orders legion.
Indians were dispatched into the
canons for deer, quail, rabbit, ante.
lope. Others gathered wood and
piled mighty pyre on the beach.
At last the Governor, having as
signed to each his task, turned to
one he would entrust only to him
self.
A large round tent which had re-
manned rolled and packed on the
journey, had been pitched some dis
lance away from the camp. He en-
tered it, and almost fell over tiny
Indian boy, naked as a rabbit,
brown as berry, with wild bright
eyes.
"Ah, Escabellito! Lazy little one,
begone and eat thy tortillas!
Wouldst sleep all day?"
The child scampered toward the
cooking fire, and the Governor went
to work with the happy expression of
man performing a labor of love.
He began opening bundles that had
been mystery on the trip as they
had never been opened, and had
taxed the pack-animals to the ears.
There were bright blankets Of In
dian weave, supple serapes in gay
colors, skins of mountain lion, wild
cat and bear, robes of otter and
rabbit. These he spread on the
ground until it was covered, ar
ranging and rearranging until their
disposal suited his fancy. And as
he worked he sang little soldiers
song beneath his breath.
Eulalia had seen painting of a
lady of the French court dressed in
a green velvet riding habit, with
volunainous draped skirt, tight fit
ting basque trimmed in rich cream
lace, on her head saucy velvet
hat with a nodding, sweeping plume.
A clever Partisan sempstress, ma
rooned in Mexico City, had copied
the costume for Eulalia.
But she had been hustled away
into exile, and one of her regrets at
leaving was that she had never worn
the green velvet habit. Neverthe-
less it was packed in a leather
trunk, which Angustias had marked
with green cross in circle. And
when the Governor Of California
greeted his lady wife he would see,
not bedraggled, travel-stained pill
grim in dusty black, her head COW
cred with q rebozo like Mexican
peasant woman, but real lady of
high degree, her velvets green
against white jennet, her proud
head high with nodding plunes. And
jeweled-
All, yes! She would wear her EN-.
eralds, Of course. The heavy gold
set necklace, the long earrings, the
massive ring on her first finger.
Yes, the green was happy
thought; green velvet and gems set
off skin that is white and daz-
cling
Captain Canete rode ahead, his
perspiring brow furrowed with anx-
iety. BY all the saints, this was the
worst day of the entire journey! A
narrow trail zigzagged down the
side of mountain which seemed to
bulge over the sea, thousands Of feet
below; tortuous, treacherous trail,
so narrow it was necessary for the
cavalcade to travel in single file,
and so winding the animals had al

A VERY SERIOUS PROPOSITION.
A CHANCE FOR THE NEGRO TO
BUILD A NATIONAL HOME.
Garvey Speaks On Senator Bilbo's Motion

deeply on this question and then
unitedly give his support to Sena-
tor Bilbo in this respect.
The founding of nation, the
start of a people toward honest ma
tional expression, with the hope Of
attaining the highest and best in
independent national effort, are
things that may be considered from
the most idealistic and courageous
point of view. These are the things
that Senator Bilbo's resolution will
ultimately do for the Negro. Those
who may be removed voluntarily,
and become part of such nation
in Africa, may not be able to see
the greater opportunities Of inde-
pendent self-expression today, but
their generations will rise to be-
come free men inheriting the insti-
i tutions of their fathers that would
tend to number them among the
real thoughtful and progressive men
of the world.
A great cry may be raised IN
America about the quantity Of
money to be disposed of. The
American nation is able to do any
thing it wants. 1t has always done
its duty by the people whether they
be Jews or Gentiles. There is no
question more important and press
ing than the Negro question. 1t
must be solved today or hitched up
for the dangers of tomorrow. Why
/ not solve it now. The thinkers of
| the nation who are far removed
from the idle sentiment of some of
| the masses will be able to gauge
Senator Bilbo's bill and give it their
support. The thing is worthy OF
support. Let the people support it.
All branches of the Universal
Negro Improvement Association in
the United States of America and
all its members are requested to
give their sincereSt support TO oeI-
ator Bilbo's bill. 1t is the one dream
of the UNA that stands uppermost
in its mighty program. It is better
for the Negro to have nation
through which he can express him
self and do things for himself than
| to labor as he has been doing here,
there, and everywhere, at the mercy
of majority races that may one day
doom him.
No race that is numerically de-
pendent upon he numerical
strength of another has any sure
reliance upon the good determine
tion Of the majority at all times.
Majorities change and no one can
tell when the change will come.

BY MARCUS GARvEY

It may be once in one hundred
years or FIVE hundred when q real
opportunity presents itself to a peo-
pie for the decisive step toward q
given point. The acceptance OF the
opportunity or its rejection may
mean eternally the set position in
the career of the particular people.
Such an opportunity is to be pre-
sented to the American Negro in
January, 1939--it is that of an eff
fort to induce the United States
Senate, by motion of Senator G.
Billbo Of Mississippi to consider and
make law the establishment of a
country or countries Of Negro ma
tionality on the continent Of Africa.
and to SO people it or them that
those Negroes who are desirous of
returning to their ancient home
land in Africa may do so.
Stripped of all sentiment which
may be based upon hate, dislike, or
affection or love, and whatever
might be said that may lend even
the most sensitive Negro to become
offended, the fact remains that this
effort is the grandest in the history
of American craftsmanship since the
original efforts of men like Lincoln,
Jefferson, Mercer and Monroe, to
bring to head the Negro question.
The Negro in America who is
succeeding, and who has the pros
pect OF continuous success before
him, need not be disturbed about
the object of this bill, for the bill
seeks to establish and make man,
someone different to him. There Is
no doubt that there are different
groups of Negroes in America. This
bill seeks to satisfy one group with
out prejudice to the other groups.
1t should be considered fair, there
fore, that the merits of this bill
should be accepted as good for
those who are interested, and left
alone BY those not interested.
Senator Bilbo may not be re-
garded as true friend of the Ne
gro race, but in his desire to pro-
mote and carry such bill, he has
written down himself as an adyo-
cate Of a section of the Negro race
that regards him in this respect as
being sincere. There would be very
little wisdom, therefore, in anyone
tring to surround the issue Of the
bill with prejudice against Senator
Bilbo. The past and future career
Of the Senator does not really en-
ter into the question. Let the in
terested Negro of America think

W.P.A. WILL BUY
JOBLESS CLOTHES
Purchases of Grapefruit
Juice for Needy Also
Announced.

Unemployed persons in need Of
either grapefruit juice or suits may
turn now to the Works Progress Ad-
ministration for these wants.
Administrator Harry Hopkins an
nounced last night that the w. P. A.
will purchase $lo,o00,ooo worth of
clothing and 100000 cases of grape
fruit juice for distribution to families
on relief
Both purchases are calculated to
have two-fold effect. In the case of
the clothing. removal of the $10,000,-
600 supply from surplus stocks is ex-
pected to stimulate unemployment in
that industry and to provide needed
clothing for relief families. In the
case of the grapefruit juice, a record
crop of the fruit has threatened prices.
The purchase of such a large supply
as contemplated by the w. P. A. is
expected to help the price structure
as well as to make available an item
Of foodstuff for needy.
While purchases Of commodity
such as the grapefruit juice is not
unusual for the w. P. A., that of
clothing for direct distribution to men,
women and children is an experiment
in this direction.
The idea was first brought to the
w. P. A., it is reported, by Sidney
Hillman, president of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers, an affiliate
of the Committee for Industrial Or
ganization. Mr.. Hillman estimates
that purchases between So 8,000, 900 and
$10,0O0,000 will account for all the
surplus clothing stocks and should
stimulate new manufacturing and
employment for about 100000 gar
ment and textile workers.
The purchases will be started this
month, Mr.. Hopkins said.
