CHAPTER IX-Continued

The Governor had risen to his
feet, his face congested with varied
emotions. Across from him Father
Lasuen stood and looked at him
with a white face.
'Why, your Excellencyl" he
stammered. "Your Excellency!
What means this? Are these men
priests? Franciscans?"
FACES nodded shortly, and looked
at the table.
Lasuen Wrung his hands, as the
rest of the company sat silent, look
ing at the two. "But, Don Pedro,
are those the two for whom Holy
Father Sierra has prayed day and
night for months? If they are, Fray
Fermi Lasuen, it is Satan and not
Heaven who has sent them. With
them came dispatches from the Fer
nandine College in Mexico City say
ing they were being sent to Califor-
MIA as punishment for their sins.
And the report went on to say that
they were the scandal of the college,
had broken every rule, committed
every sin, petty or grand, even to
scaling the walls of the dormitory
and going abroad in the city at
night, scarcely on deeds of virtue

FACES sighed heavily; all the
heartiness had fled from his man.

II find am too tired to discuss
this further tonight. If you will ex-
cuse me, will retire now. Per-
haps a new sun will bring a new
light to my problems. Buenas
noches!"
Once in her quarters, the control
that had held La Gobernadora in
leash vanished.
She paced the narrow floor, she
wept; Angustias stood by helplessly.
"Did you hear him, Angustias?
How did he dare speak to me that
way! Ordering me about as though
/ were a slave, an Indian! Oh, how
can / live? Oh, Angustias, what shall
I do? Where shall / go? Here /
am, helpless prisoner, tied to a
brute Of a husband, in this terrible
place. Oh, my God, Angustias, say
something, can't stand this

She fell across the bed sobbing.
Angustias went to her.
Nov, nina, now, now. Come. II
Don Pedro scolded you, it is only
because he loves you so much. You
mustn't behave this way. In the

The lady whirled on her.

Governor cracked his riding whip
with curt phrase in Indian dia-
lect, and the Indians fled with their
plumber. The last one to fade out
of sight, with derisive grimace, and
an Indian phrase that made the Gov
ernor chuckle, was the little original
sin, the Indian maid who had caused
the ado. Proudly she fiourished her
booty, one string of beads.
Don Pedro dismounted and assist
ed his wife to her saddle with great
gentleness. Her face was stony.
"Eulalia," said he in low voice.
"Eulalia, my dear" But the lady
rode on in significant silence.
A. resolution was forming In her
mind. Once at Monterey she would
escape. When the supply ship
reached the port she would go
aboard, and return to Mexico. She
might have to wait, this child might
arrive before the ship. But II not,
better to have the child born at
sea, than in this barbarous country.
Better death from drowning, or
the pangs of seasickness, than stay
ing here. If her husband would
come with her, well enough. If not
well, she would go anyway.
Making up her mind to this
course, she felt better. stronger. and
was busy devising ways and means
when the Commandante of Preside
of Santa Barbara, Lieutenant Orte-
ga, came laundering toward them
with party of soldiery.
The Governor and Don Jose Fran
cisco Ortega greeted each other
with punctilio, and the lady. was
presented. To her delight, the SOL
der stopped to her stirrup, and TAX.
ing her dusty foot in his hand, kissed
it. Then he looked up at her.
''Senora la Gobernadora!" he sa-
luted her. Welcome a thousand
times to California, and the Preside
of Santa Barbara! You are as well
come as the spring, that travels with
you. Since it was known you were
coming, everything has changed.
You are needed, Lady, in California.
We have been land Of men long
enough. We are all your servants,
humbly waiting for you to command
u.s."
Eulalia bowed deeply to him, and
offered her hand. The Comman-
dante kissed that. do You desire
dainties for your tablet" He con-
tinued, eve will scour the noun
tains for the rarest game, plumb the
ocean for the finest fishes. Do you
wish wild fruits or berries? We will
find them. Do you wish skins and
pelts for your house or yourself?
We will slay the finest fur-bearing
animals for you. The finest horses
are yours to ride, the most docile
Indians are your serfs, and we sol.
diers, all a loyal body-guard!"
Eulaia beamed. "Ah, Lieutenant
Ortega, you f1atter mel"
"No! A thousand times, no! I tell
you, Sonora la Gobernadora, I am
as happy as king here, but find
it in my heart to envy one Ian.
And that man is Pedro FACES. Not
because he is the Governor of the
CALIFORNIA;, but because he is the
husband of your Excellency."

Borego and Yenny were among only a few Americans still in Tam pico as most United States employees of oil companies already had left.
 It was the second direct action taken by workers. On Saturday, a group here busted American, Brit ish and French employees from the local offices of the Mexican Eagle Oil company, subsidiary of the Royal Dutch Shell company.
 Mexico meanwhile experienced a rise in living costs because of a fear of the worth of the paper peso.
 Soon after Cardenas appropriated the oil industry, long lines formed in front of the Bank of Mexico to exchange paper pesos for silver, and the bank, anxious to restore public confidence, announced that it would make all exchanges.
 Although still begged officially at 3.60 to the dollar, the peso was quot ed privately at from 4 to $50. In some quarters it was believed 1t might even drop to seven.
 Food prices rose. Hoarding was reported in many sections.

 "The city now throws away more than $100,000 a year." she declared. One wouldn't have to be smart to reduce the tax rate and save on un- necessary things.
 Another thing, we're supposed to have merit system. It's a joke. We don't want it administered by any Tom, Dick and Harry because he's friend of the mayor. We need career men.
 "The people of New Britain have been used for political stepping stones and when the politicians got through with them they had no further use for the people.
 Give full publicity to all expendi- lures and let the taxpayer know where his money is going"
 Mrs. Roche saw the need of a housing program to "take care of the factory worker who makes SIS a week and pays $35 month rent. Something should, and can be done about that"
 The primaries will be held Friday night. Three other candidates op- pose her.
 I'm not suffering from inflated ego, nor do I consider myself a saviour of New Britain" she said but I think my chances for the nomination are as good as the oth- CTS. Besides, I'm the only candi- date who has come out for organ iZed labor"

(Continued from Page D under his feet collapsed with a bang and he shot straight down to the concrete floor of the pit, 12 feet be- low. Since his arms and legs were bound, he keeled over on his side, blood coming from 8 gaSh in his right cheek and the Scraped flesh of his right hand. Prison guards ran down the gallows steps, picked him up, put him on a stretcher, and carried him back to the platform, where he was permitted to stand to one side while the trap catch that had given way prematurely was tested and retested to such cries from the guards as: Don't trip it!" Nov trip itp Hold that trap!"
 At last the trap was ready, and Adkins was moved cnto it and the moose was put around his neck. Travis had waited with the moose around his neck, and, since the fall had quieted the audience, he spoke first.
 T wish to meet everyone in this auditorium some day in heaven" he cried out, exultantly. q hope to see every face in heaven with me. God bless you all. Goodbye"
 It was Adkins turn. He had been smiling when the guards picked him up in the pit, he had smiled while they tested the trap, and he still was smiling.
 T want to see you all in heaven" he said. T know God will forgive. I am sorry for the family of Dr. Sed- CT. Heaven is glory and will meet you there. Goodbye. God bless you all."
 Warden Stone pressed buzzer. Three guards below the gallows pulled three levers, and Adkins and Travis dropped through the traps. Two of the levers were dummies. The device is one to prevent the guards knowing which one was the actual executioner.
 The 30 witnesses were ushered out with some difficulty, the bodies were cut down, and 60 more witt (nesses were brought into watch Booth die.
 Dr. Seder was kidnapped from his home in Huntington, w. Va, Nov. l and held for Il days in an aban- doned coal mine where he was sub jected to brutal privations. He es- capped his prison, but died four days later of exposure. The kidnapers demanded $50000 ransom. It was not paid.

A hedge may be cut all summer long at any interval, but be sure that the shape is maintained to have the top narrower than the base. This will permit sunshine to reach the lower part of the plant and avoid leafless stalks near the ground.
 When a hedge is first planted, cut the stems evenly to about two- thirds its height as it arrives from the nursery. During the first year let the hedge increase its height by inches. If good growth is made the second year add another 6 to g
