Grouse Bird of Importance to Scots,
According to an Authority in London

How in the course of century
and half the grouse has become
a bird of national Importance in
Britain, is related by Henry Doug
las Home in The Field of London:
''It is fine morning in August,
1773. Boswell turns to Johnson,
whose eyes are still weak from the
frewater, drunk by barbarians be-
You'd the Solway: DO you suppose
these hills will become valuable on
account of these excellent moor
fowl?' please don't be stupid at
this early hour. These barren noun
tains will never produce anything
of value to a civilized people. No
one can stomach their melancholy
emptiness
"The disgruntled doctor would
have been astonished to learn that
the moor-fowl would prove more
valuable to the Scots than the host
of quails which saved the Israel
ties from an awkward predicament.
Perhaps in some far distant sphere
Boswell turns to Johnson each
twelfth of August: 4 told you so.'
(The doctors reply would be banned
in the Field.)
IA century later the grouse had
become bird of national impor-
lance in the internal economy of
Scotland. Some idea of its value

CHAPTER TX

Early one morning couriers had
dashed into the preside at San Di-
ego announcing that Ell Senior Cob
ernador and his lady, La Goberna-
dora, were at the very gates of the
citadel.
Lieutenant Jose de Zuniga, in
charge of the preside, issued orders
right and left. There must be royal
entertainment prepared, and at
once! A dispatch must be sent to
good Padre Lasuen at the mission
to come and celebrate a thanksgiv-
ing for the distinguished travellers;
he must bring his Indian musicians.
There would be music, dancing;
food must be prepared = bull
slaughtered. The arms and equip
ment of the little garrison must be
in perfect order. Guns must be
made ready for salutes.
The women listened to the Com
mander's orders, nodded among
themselves and went to work. The
Indian servants stared in stupid won
der. Never had they seen the genie
so hard at work. Such a scrubbing
and cleaning, such an aroma Of food
in the air!
Carefully boarded clothes for
who could tell when they could be
replaced?-were drawn from chests
where they reposed from funeral to
funeral, christening to christening.

music by the roots out of his guitar
"a guitar that had travelled from
the province of Catalonia in Spain,
across the Atlantic, across Mexico,
and up and down the CALIFORNIA;,
Baja and Alta. Voices rose in the
beloved songs of the old country,
soldiers songs, gipsies' roundelays
and haunting Oriental strains that
had persisted in Spain since the
days of the Moors.
Pedro FACES lifted horn of wine.
II give you toast, my men! To
his Majesty King Carlos the Third of
Spain, and to his Royal Spouse!"
They drank the toast standing,
amid cheers.
The Governor refilled his horn.
"And I give you Eulalia, the
Queen of the Californias!"
He drank deeply, then threw the
empty horn into the dying fire.
STOPPING lightly, he lifted Eulalia
from the dais, held her aloft a
moment, then strobe away with her
to the tent.

He whispered in the brown ear. The
child dropped on his round belly
and wriggled to the lady's feet,
turning his head toward the Cover

black bright eye.
"There you are! Put your feet on

Don't Scar Meat.-Searing meat

of fat and moisture.
Appetizing Eggs.-Poached eggs
will be made white and plump
and more appetizing if tea
spoonful of milk is added to the
water before the eggs are placed

Importance of Pressing.-Most
hens should be pressed twice,
once after lacking; and again
after the seam is finished. Press
the hens on the wrong side over
a damp cloth.
Filling for Representatives,
rice or macaroni mixed with
cooked meat makes good filling
for green peppers or tomatoes.
The latter need to be cooked only

went on in a low tone. "You are

better retire now. But tomorrow
you must see them. You will make
them some little gifts, you must be
kind, cordial to them"

"You must. Those are my or

Eulalia bit her lips to control their
trembling and strained her eyes to
keep back a rush of tears.

nausea gripped her. The low-ceiled
room, close with smoke and tobacco
and fumes of wine, swan before
her. Her limbs quaked, and her
hands were clammy, but she rose
grandly from her chair. The COM
pany sprang to their feet.
"Viva la Gobernadora!" toasted
the men.
She managed a graceful bow, and
left the room, Angustias in her
wake, eying her anxiously.
The women gathered in corners
and whispered, then slipped away,
leaving the men to their talk.
Don Pedro watched his wife de-
part, with a slight frown, and a
doubtful unhappy feeling in his
heart. Then he strobe to the table
and poured himself another cup of
wine.
"By heaven!" he roared, tyou
