CHAPTER xxIII-Continued

He took his seat beside La Cob
ernadora, ate, drank and replied
absent-mindedly to all who spoke.
It was only when he felt light
touch on his shoulder, and looking
up saw Indizuela offering him cup
of wine, that he reused for a mo-
ment from his reveries. She smiled
at him reproachfully and moved
away, the wine jug poised on her
shoulder.
After the feast, one of the Cover
nor's old Catalan soldiers clapped
his hands for attention.
"Senores y Senoras! Senoritos y
Senoritas! Cabelleros y amigos!
Padres! Peones y Indios! will
sing! I will sing a song of our IL
1ustrious Gobernador, ell Senior Don
Pedro Fages!"
"Viva! Viva!" shouted the crowd.
Someone placed a vine wreath on
his head as the old soldier expert
mented with his guitar.
ST will sing a song of Ell Goberna-
dor concerning his prowess as q
mighty hunter, and how he saved
the Indians of San Luis Obispo from
being eaten alive by bears! How he
saved his people from starving by
giving them the bears to eat, and
how a mission was founded because
of all these doughty deeds!"
Then he began to sing a long Sc
ries of coplas. :,
Dozens of verses sang the old sol
der, and at the end of each the
audience howled, "Ay-ee, Don Pc
dro!" The Governor sat with bowed
head, covered with confusion, and
listened.
The singer went on, telling OF the
frightened Indians, rushing from
their village, afraid of the giant
bears that were killing them one
by one. And of how Don Pedro
faced the savage grizzly bear, and
killed him in a fight most fair; and
how the Indians Toasted him a day
and night, praising him for his great
might.
"Ay-ee, Don Pedro!"
"Hola!"
"Viva ell Gobernador!"
"Viva!" The party gathered in a
circle around him, singing and
shouting, toasting him in fitting
wine-cups, creating more verses for
the endless song.
The Governor stood by quietly I'M
til the song was finished, but when
the circle broke, he slipped away
alone to the tree on the hill, and
threw himself down on the ground.
1t was sunset, and color rioted ev-
erywhere on land and sea. The
voices of the singers seemed to
come from a great distance. He
closed his eyes.
"Ay-ee, Don Pedro!" someone
said softly.
Indizuela dropped on the ground
beside him.

Captain Kidd Again Thrills English
Spirit; New Effort to Find Treasure

Captain Kidd again is thrilling the
adventurous spirits of England, as
plans 60 forward for new effort
to recover his treasure.
A map has been found in Lon
don book shop which seems to bear
a striking resemblance to Oak is
land, six miles from Chester, Nova
Scotia, where Captain Kidd is sup
posed to have buried his spoils. De-
tails of the map are, of course, a
deep secret, but money is being
raised and plans made to attempt to
recover the treasure next summer,
reports a London correspondent in
the Chicago Tribune.
In all 80 shafts have been sunk
in and around that part of the island
where there are indications of some
thing having been hidden. Being
only 1K miles from tip to tip, the
place is fairly well peck marked.
The early searchers took their tip
from an oak block which hung from
an oak tree over depression of
about Il feet in the ground. A
platform of oak logs was found and
a man-made wall beside it.
The next lot of searchers found
the same kind of an oak platform
every ten feet and at the ninth an

waiting impatiently that day, and
the arrival of his Excellency with
La Sonora la Gobernadora.
The feast day arrived. Santa Bar
bara, the Patroness, sent fair wealth
err. The waters in the channel
danced in a fresh breeze, and the
blue hills and mountains, family
tinged with green, rose behind the
mission site like a beautiful curtain.
Frey Fermin Lasuen and Sergeant
Ortega from the preside had been
anxiously awaiting the Governor.
Ortega had sent messengers and an
escort far north to meet him, but
they had returned without the Gov
ernor, and without news of him.
Fray Fermin was worried. A great
responsibility was in his hands. This
was the first mission of his own
founding, carried out through the
wishes of his beloved brother, Juni-
pero Sierra. For over two years the
Governor had been planning this
day, looking forward to it with great
anticipation and anxiety, and now,
with everything in readiness, the
day already at it's zenith, there was
no Governor. And the mission could
not be officially founded without his
presence.
Fray Fermin scanned the distance
as far north as his gaze could reach,
then, with a patient sigh, sat down
on the ground where he could see
the little ramada beneath which the
altar was erected, and where two
bells hung, in readiness to ring out
to all the world, the good news of
the founding of the Mission Santa
Barbara. A recumbent cross was
on the ground near by, waiting to
be erected on the spot where some
day the mission church should arise.
The missionary looked lovingly at
the scene. And as he looked, vi
sion came before his eyes. Instead
of the humble ramada and rough
cross, lovely temple rose to COM
fort him. Glowing pinkly, its square
towers and red tiled roofs rose ma
jestically against the mountains. A
great establishment stretched itself
across the Landscapes: dormitories,
gardens, workshops and wineries.
The little group of dirty Canalenan
Indians who stood about with dumb
curiosity became miraculously thou
sands of clean happy neophytes, who
worked, and sang as they worked.
The handful of soldiers, who lolled
on their horses and eyed the Indian
women, became a dashing compa-

CHAPTER XIV

After the vendimia and the har-
vest the winter season settled down
upon the Royal Preside of Monte
rev and the Mission San Carlos at
Carmelo. Winter meant rain, days
and weeks and months of rain. The
Rio Carmelo flooded it's banks as it
filled, and a hundred rills and
streams sprang into being. The
trees sighed and dripped dismally,
and there was little life astir ex-
cept the screaming seagulls that,
driven from the ocean by storms,
came inland to seek food, shrieking
and wheeling in the gray skies.
In the Palacio of the Governor all
was gloom. Angustias grieved for
Chichi, and moved about like a
gloomy wrath.
explorers La Gobernadora seemed
frozen, all except her somber eyes
that burned resentfully from her
white face. Little lines appeared
about her mouth, and drew the cor
ners of her lips down in a perpetual
expression of unhappiness that
wrung Don Pedro's heart. She spent
hours, days, lying upon her bed,
staring at nothing, doing nothing;
or huddled before the suffering fire,
looking at the flames with a blank
far-away expression that frightened
the Governor with its hopelessness,
its despair.
She no longer spent hours over
her hair, or the little cares of her
toilet, but wore the same gown, day
in and day out, and even adopted the
habit of wrapping her head in a
scarf. She shivered constantly in
the damp adobe house. Sometimes
she would look out on the parade
grounds, churned to a muddy lake
by the feet of horses and men, and
catch sight of the wife of soldier,
a baby Rugged close to her in a
shawl, running from one house to
another.
She almost envied these little SOL
diers' women, with their endless
chatter about nothing, their content
ment with empty lives. Sometimes
she thought wildly of running out
into the rain herself. But if she did,
where would she go? So she only
shivered and drew her manton clos
err about her.
Pedro FACES was profoundly dis
tressed. Living in the small pala-
clio with the unhappy woman Eula-
liza, loving her, sorrowing over her
and unable to express one word of
what he felt, for he had never re-
ferred to the dreadful night when
he had struck her and dragged her

stone. Metal bars, parchment,
coins and ak heads have been found,
but all the shafts fill with water at
the depth of 100 feet and the new
party is planning to offset that diff
Guilty with pumping arrangements.
Five we'll defined drains have
been discovered, built of flat stones
and all converging at one point.
From GARDENERS island off the
east end of Long island about $4,000
was recovered from Captain Kidd's
treasure buried there. Kidd was
hanged at Execution dock in Lon
don in 1901, but he left a wife and
child in New York.

back from running away, depressed
his days and saddened his nights.
His only comfort was in reading
over and over again the few books
he possessed: LAS Sergas de Es-
plandian," "Sancho Panza" and the
plays of Shakespeare. Long hours
he would read, then impatiently or
der his horse and ride for hours
through mud and rain, nowhere.
There was only one light, one spot
of warmth in his darkness, and that
was not the clear warmth of the sun,
or the pure cold ray of star,
a light like a little fire shows from
the depths of some murky cave.
And that was Indizuela. Time and
again he put the thought of the
girl out of his mind, only to have
her walk into his brain and heart,
and through some witchcraft, take
possession of him.
And so the winter pressed down
on Monterey.
But from the south, from Santa
Barbara, came letters from Fray
Fermin Lasuen, bubbling with a
youthful enthusiasm, that rose per-
ennially in his old heart.
1t was summer in the south OF
California, he wrote. The sun shone
all day, and the stars at night.
There had been some showers, and
the brown hills had turned green
quickly. The streams were full, and
it was already like spring.
And on the feast day of Santa
Barbara, December fourth, the Mis-
sion Santa Barbara was to be found
ed. All was ready. The people at

The Feet Always Busy

The feet do more work relative to
their size than any other part of the
body. 1t is hard to visualize the
fact that when a man walks mile
he places an aggregate of $50 tons
on his feet. Three out of every four
adults in this country have some
sort of foot trouble. The blame for
this condition is largely due to in
correct footwear, but the jar Incl
dent to walking on hard pavements
and floors is contributing cause.

READERS ADVISED
BY UNTERMEYER
Poet and Philosopher Tells
Town Hall to Read
- American Writers.

Louis Untermeyer, poet. critic and
philosopher, told members Of the
Town Hall last night what Americans
should read, and why.
1t developed that Americans should
read great literature, with a sprin-
king of non-fiction.
Strange as it may seem. some of
this great literature. Mr.. Untermeyer
Apointed out, may be found between

newer and younger American writer's

life as they themselves uglify life"
In a quick glance over the American
scene, looked at it from the literary
viewpoint, Mr.. Untermeyer recalled
the old writer's of fairy tales, fiction Of
the happy-ending type-the Horatlo
Alger, jr.. tales-and contrasted these
with the works of the present crop of
'realists-the Hemingways, the Cald-
wells, the Faulkners and the Thomas

we were very cordial to it-and now

Hitherto, he noted, Americans had

Asked to give his opinion about the

WILCOX WOULD
AMEND SOCIAL
SECURITY ACT
PURPOSE Is TO REMOVE RE-
oUIREMENT FOR LIEN ON
PROPERTY AND INCREASE
BENEFITS

WASHINGTON, March 10
Congressman ]. Mark Wilcox of
Florida has just introduced bill
to amend the Social Security
Act to remove the requirement
for taking a lien upon the prop
erty of persons receiving old-age
benefits under the act, and to
raise the maximum old-age bene-
fit from $50 to $50.
Discussing the amendment, Mr..
Wilcox said:
The Federal Social Security
Act does not In terms require the
taking of a lien upon the property
of elderly people who receive
old-age benefits. The act does,
however, authorize the states to
take such liens and in that case to
turn over one-half of the amount
to the federal government.
81 believe that the amount to
be paid for old-age benefits
should be increased as rapidly as
the economic condition of the
country will permit The original
act provides a maximum of $50
per month. This was as much as
it was believed at first could be
paid Living costs have advanced
and no one now believes that the
$50 provided in the act is ade-
quate. have, therefore. included
IN my amendment the proposal to
increase the maximum allowable
to $50 per month, instead of the
$50 provided in the original act
Congressman Wilcox interrupt

Social Security amendment and

He EXPRESSED himself as highly
gratified with the progress which
he is making in his campaign for

Il am highly pleased over the

support which have come to me
