CHAPTER v

Leagues of Eulalia's journey lay
behind; many terrible leagues trav-
ersed doggedly, day and night,
with heat, dust, thirst, WEAKNESS
and an awful numbing fear of the
unknown that robbed her of rest.
When, at the end of a days travel,
Eulalia lay on her pallet and felt
sleep must come, that the blessing
of complete oblivion and release
from suffering would at last requite
her, the blessing was denied. AL
ways at the moment when she
seemed slipping into unconscious
ness, a rude hand gripped her weary
heart and shook it cruelty, until her
whole body trembled and sweat
coldly.
During the first nights she would
cry out, and creep to little Pedro's
side for comfort, or summon An
gustias to her. Then she grew
ashamed of her childishness, and
only lay the quieter when her fear
specter haunted her.
Sitting before her campfire one
night at the end OF trying day,
she questioned herself. Why had
she been persuaded to come on this
journey? She, who was born to lux
ury, soft cushions and luxurious
coaches?
Lifting her face she stared at the
fire.
'Queen of the Californias!" she
muttered bitterly.
Angustias, busting into the circle
of light, broke into her rebellious
musings.
"The two priests are coming to
call on you, Dona Eulalia," she an
nounced.
Eulalia did not move.
"Yes?" she questioned duly.
eyes, and I think it's about time.
Do you know, nina, I think there is
something queer about those two.
have heard"
Eulalia shifted as her duena, with
Chichi in her arms, hunched closer
to the fire.

"You would hear gossip on a des-
ert isle, and you the only soul on it, "
she remarked, bending her ear, new
ertheless, closer to her companion.
IT have heard" continued Angus
tias, "that there are two people on
this journey who are being sent to
California as a punishment for their
sins, and I wondered :"
Eulalia flung out her arms dra-
matically.
"a punishment for their sins! And
I am sent to reap reward for my
virtues! A strange country, this Cal
fornia, to which, at the same time,
people are sent for punishment and
reward"
Angustias nodded.
eyes, it is. I am wondering who
will get what. Sh-h-h, here they
come"
Into the light of the fire two
brown-clad figures doomed out of the
shadows.

DRESSES that not only satisfy
- your present craving for
something new and spring-like,
but also look ahead to a later sea-
son, too. Make them yourself at
home, for very much less than
you usually spend on clothes.
You'll find it very easy to do,
with the sew chart that accompa
MES each pattern.
Corselette Waistline.
If you have a slim figure, this is
the afternoon dress for you! The
fullness over the bust, the sleeves
cut in one with the shoulders, and
the lifted waistline, are just as
f1attering as they can be! It's the
kind of dress you can wear to
bridges, luncheons, meetings, and
for every afternoon occasion, with
the assurance that it is not only
smart but becoming.
Slenderizing House Frock.
Especially designed for full fig
ures, this house frock follows
straight, tailored lines, and fits
beautifully. You can get into it
in nothing flat, and it doesn't take
long to make either, thanks to the
complete and detailed sew chart
that comes with your pattern.
Make it up in a pretty, small
figured printed percale, and trim
it with rows of old-fashioned rick
rack.
A Frilly Home Cotton.
This is perfectly charming,
made up in dotted Swiss, wolfe or
dinity, in some fower-like color
like delicate blue or pink or sun
shiny, clear yellow, with sheer
white collar and cuffs. It's ideal
for slim figures. Nice to wear
around the house now, and per-
feet to wear anywhere, later on,
during summer afternoons.
The Patterns.

16, Is and 20, 40 and AZ. Size IA

From one to five holes were drilled
in each block and unusually small
charges of explosive gelatin were
placed in the holes. Electricity was
used to set off the charge. Since it
was necessary to keep the two col
ors of marble completely separate,
first the green blocks were blasted
and then, when they were finished,
the red ones. The marble had to be
reduced to chips between one-eighth
and three-eighths of an inch in di-
ameter. All holes in each block
were fired at the same time, but
only one block was fired at time.
Wet sand was packed into the holes
drilled for the explosive.

"Will you help herr" she asked,
struggling for control. "Will you
help her to catch that fool little
Chichi? He has eloped with Pedro's
burro!"
ooh, damn that ape, and damn
that ass! Oh, pardon me, Sonora
but I-are you all right, my Lady,"
eyes, yes, of course. Oh, here
she comes!"
Out of the dusk came Angustias,
trying to hold the monkey which
struggled and clawed in furious
panic. 1t had pulled the woman's
gray hair in tatters over her face,
and she looked like witch emerg-
ing from the night.
"He doesn't know me! He is mad
from fright! Oh, my little darling,
my sugar-plum, you are safe in your
mothers arms. There, there!"
The Captain exploded.
"By the holy bones of Saint Bar
tholomew, woman! Why didn't you
get the burro? Here you," to an In
dian, "fetch back that animal"
Grinning, the Indian loped away.
He hated and feared Chichi as the
rest of the natives did.
Angustias climbed on to her horse
again, soothing her weeping treas
ure.
The Captain heaved a sigh.
WELL" he said, care we all"
But suddenly piercing Shrek
came from somewhere, long high
wall that ended in, "Ma-a-a-ama!"
Eulalia slipped from her jennet.
PEDRO, Pedro! What is it! My
God
Before the Captain could reach
her, she had met the child and had
him clasped in her arms.
Mama, look! Look, mama! All,
al! am hurt! All, al, all"
"What has happened? What is it?
Do no cry, speak to mel"
He held out his hands to her.
"Look, cactus! All the needles
ran in me! Ouch, al, al, ai!''
The Captain took the child from
his mother and set him on his own
knee as he squatted on the trail.
eyes, yes. What happened?"
81 was back therein the bushes
"a big black something came after
me and I ran, and stumbled into the
cholla-ouch, ouch!"
His face and arms were swelling
from the hundreds of needles that
had penetrated his skin, singing
him to agony as he strove to scratch
them out. Canete took firm hold of
his wrists.
Don't scratch! Dona Angustias,
let down your hair!"
Angustias put her hand to her
scant gray locks in bewilderment.
"But-why?" she stammered.
because you must help this suf-
fering child. Only long hair will
draw out cactus thorns. Quickly!"
But young Pedro was already en-
veloped in a flood of black tresses
as his mothers hair tumbled about
him, soothing his stings, and draw
ing, by some strange attraction, the
needles from his flesh.
At last his cries dropped to sobs,
and his sobs to whimpers. Then he
sniveled softly in his mothers arms.
"Now, my brave little man, will
you smile at Mother? Poor darling,
poor little soldier!"
II want a drink of water" whim-
pered Pedro.
"He wants drink of water" said
Eulalia to Angustias.
"He wants drink of water" said
Angustias to the Captain.
"He wants a-but, by my life,
there is no water!"
"No water?" exploded Eulalia.
"No water, Sonora. But we are
not far from the Spring of Santa
Marta. Come. Let us get on our
way before it grows darker. Come,
my Lady"
Eulalia grew very still. Canete
leaned over her and touched her
arm to assist her to arise.
Don't touch me-" she said dan
gerously.
