mounted near him. One, as he
dropped IN his knees. crossed him
self and threw his reins to the other
with the same gesture. Padre Sierra
did not glance at them as they knelt
beside the path. But he knew well
who they were: Don Pedro FACES,
Gobernador- General Of the Califor-
Mas, and his servant were on their
knees at the passing Of the sacra-
ment.
When he had returned sacrament
and pyx to the church and divested
himself. Pho told him that the Cob
srnador was waiting to see him. He
sighed deeply.
He had seen the Gobernador many
times since they had parted so bit
serly that autumn evening. But on
~ at mass. They had never ex-
changed a word since then. AS he
tied the heavy cord about his robe.
his fingers trembled. He prepared
himself for the interview with
brief fervent prayer. and went to
meet Don Pedro.
There was a slight embarrassed
silence. then the Governor moved
impulsively forward and knelt at
the priests feet.
Your blessing. Father" he
begged.
With all my hearth" answered
the Franciscan. lifting his hands
over the broad shoulders of the
kneeling man.
Then FACES rose with a deep
breath, and smile.
WELL" he said.
"Well?"
''Ah, Padre milo, I have news for

prayers have been answered. and

''You mean"
''Yesl Your two men Of God are
arriving. and we shall consider the
Mission Santa Barbara. These
priests are coming in the train that
brings my wife and son to me. and
I am"
But the priest heard only the first
words, and was stumbling toward a
chair to support his trembling
frame, murmuring. ave Maria Pu-
risima! Ave Maria!" For a mo-
ment his head rolled against the
back of the chair, and his eyes
closed.
FACES knelt by him, and looked
anxiously into his face.

asked as he chafed the worn trem-

FACES poured wine from jug on
the table and carried it to Sierra.
They drank, and smiled over the
cups
''Yes. they are coming. They are
even now on their way. Every
thing comes to pass in good time,

how disappointed he was when all he
saw was the Smiling Pool itself
dimpling and smiling in the sun. Mr..
and Mrs. Quack we're nowhere to be
seen. Peter looked eagerly among last
years broken-down bulrushes, but
they were not there. A few little
feathers were all that Peter could
see to show that Mr.. and Mrs. Quack
ever had been there at all. Peter
sat up with his hands dropped in
front Of him and the most disap-
pointed look ever was on his face.
Have you lost something?" asked
q voice which ended in q chuckle.
Peter turned to see Jerry Muskrat

Brook. '"Oh, jerry" cried Peter,

Smuggling Dogs.
Phillips

Because the borders of European
countries are closely guarded to pre-
vent smuggling, those engaged in
this trade are constantly devising new
and ingenious methods of getting
over the liRks without paying duties
on their burdens. The method of
using dogs to do this is a clever one.
The animals are taken over the boun-
dairy and then released at night with
some valuable commodity secured to
them. If they follow the main roads
they would be intercepted, but they
are trained to travel through fields.

like to tease him. On the afternoon
of the day Jerry Muskrat had told
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack of the pond of
Paddy the Beaver deep in the Green
Forest, Peter saw that the way to the
Smiling Pool was clear and he wasted
no time in getting over there. He
was bubbling over with curiosity about
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack. He had seen
Farmer Browns boy 60 home, so he
felt sure that he would find Mr.. and
Mrs. Quack enjoying little peace
and comfort in the Smiling Pool. He
fairly itched with eagerness to hear
from Mr.. QuacK himself all about
what had happened to him.
When he popped his head over the
bank of the Smiling Pool he expected
to see Mr.. and Mrs. Quack swimming
about. He didn't have the least doubt
about It. So you can imagine Just

"Of course I can," replied Peter

Jerry drew little nearer. They've
gone to build a home" he whispered.

astonished as he felt. Il thought Mr..
Ouack had a broken wing and couldn't
fly" You see Peter knew that Mr..
and Mrs. Quack had always made
their home in the far Northland and
he thought that Jerry meant that they
had once more started on their long
journey.
THAT is quite true" replied Jerry.
"It's a cruel shame, isn't it?"
Peter looked at Jerry sharply, but
Jerry looked as innocent as If such
a thing as teasing never had entered
his head. Jerry" said Peter, tell

torted Peter a wee bit sharply. "Oh,
Jerry. don't tell me that anything has
happened to them!"
II won't If you don't want me TO-"
replied Jerry, his eyes twinkling more
than ever.
Peter stamped a foot angrily. "Stop
trying to tease me and tell me where
Mr.. and Mrs. Quack are" cried
Peter.
They've gone away" replied Jerry,
chuckling inside to see Peters impa-
tience and curiosity.

Little Stories for Bedtime.
BY THORNTON w. BURGESS.
Pray never let folks know you're teased;
Pretend that you are really pleased.

THERE is no fun in trying to tease
people who do not show that they
are being teased. So no matter how
you may feel inside, don't show it.
When people play tricks on you to
tease you and laugh at you. laugh
with them. Laugh the hardest OF all.
It is the quickest, surest way to put
q stop to teasing. When you know
people are keeping a secret from you
just to tease you, pretend that you are
not the least bit interested.

ers have been conducting the
debate on a plane designed to
Stiffen the backs of their House
majority against the Senate.
They have been stressing the
contention that the original

tax bill would have been all
right had not the Senate
amended it.
ONLY really new evidence
" brought up in the debate
was the assertion Of Repre-
entative MacCormick Of Mas

held family corporation dis

third sledge hammer) would
punish IS per cent Of the news
papers, so per cent of textile In
dustry and much of the furni-
ture industry. Henry Ford
would escape If he distributed
as much Of his earnings as he
did in 1896.
COME newsmen at Mr.. Roose-
~ velt's press conferences have
an impression his latest argu-
ments have not been quite up to
his superior standard. Specifi-
cally, news jurors doubted that
he would ever get any substan-
tial part of $4,000 for charity
or otherwise on the script OF
his declaration favoring publica-
ton of salaries paid to execu-
tives.
The President contended pri-
vate executive business is a
public trust, which is true. He
wants incomes Of corporate ex-
ecutives made public. But he
did not say anything about pub
lie executives and their tax re-
turns, including his own.
In this connection, newSmen
have been trying for weeks to
get an explanation of the Presi-
dents refund of more than
$1,000 from the Treasury, but
no one outside the Treasury has
the information and the Treas
ury says all information about
refunds of less than $4,000
must be kept secret under the
law. plausible outside expert
guess is he probably neglected
to deduct his New York State
income taxi
Certain Congressman have
been discussing the feasibility of

tives publicity law to include all

WANTS WHOLE PICTURE

To understand the Presidents
mind on this matter it must also
be understood that he gives the
impression Of a man trying to see
the social and economic picture
as a whole. That is the reason for
his frequent questioning of the in
dustrialists, economic royalistS,
editors and others who call at the
White House for q heartto-h heart
talk on problems Of industry or
finance.
He is evidently trying to find
out whether half the world knows
how the other half is living. He
says he is finding out that the
Big Business TycoonS who call on
him have no idea at all Of social
and business problems outside
their own particular board Of di-
rectors' room, and that they are
amazed to learn the President
believes that the problems Of the
Arkansas sharecropper have a d.
rect relationship to the problem
of raising the national purchas-
ing power so that Detroit motor
magnateS might enjoy o larger
sale Of cars.
HINTS AT BLINDNESS
Mr.. Roosevelt has limited at the
economic blindness affecting
many Of the Big Shots to whom
he talks. Some of them appar-
emily have no idea that he be-
lieves the current farm program
of cash payments to farmers for
conserving more soil and raising
less crops has a large part in
reaching the goal Of a hundred
billion dollar national income,
which is the point where the
President has indicated all will be
we'll in the Treasury; when there
will be so much well distributed
business that tax pains will di-
miniSh. II
This is an explanation of the

that he and a group of other
captains Of industry, called on

eral economic situation. The mag
nate reported the President left
the conversation to business men
for seven minutes, and to hill
billies and ,what-not for So min

He believes that it is impossible
for the average journalist to see
the whole picture and that the
Requirement Of a daily news story,

current writer to the Iong-range
objectives. He believes he is the

The reason President Roosevelt

of making a journalistic feat OF
his writings in explanation of his

that should come from the feed

and that's exactly the status of
