Uuder the jifiernoou sun. the rest lens waters of S in Frauciaro li.xy flung diuinomls and op:ii ut sucli huuiau eye as c 'lanced to look at tln'in. Two voting people who trolle! lown to the Presidio bench, however, had no glance to ppare for anything no com monplace an diamonds and opals. For Lieutenant Anderson was gazing into the depths of the great, soft, black eves of Miss 1'acliita de Sola, and Miss P.tcliita de Sola was looking up into tho ardent blue eves of Lieutenant An derson. She seemed to like it. The tall young soldier, with tho fair hair, broad" shoulders and square, man ly. Saxon face, had uot been long re leased from the hard work and harder restraint of West Point, and in his new freedom of army life went at things with an energy of desire that was quite irre-dhtibie. Mii Paeliita de Sola found it ho, as did i.alf a dozen other girls within as many months. It was a wholly serious business with the Lieutenant this lime, though. had !n-en in California but a few weeks, and t:ds daughter of an ancient, though decayed Soanish f :milv. as American in ed neat ion and lhniig:t as himseif. was ravishing in ln-r noveiiy. Ailcgeiher feminine, l'.ieiiita; at one moment child-like and e.lin rin i; the next, worldly, wiity and ni' ckinz; then, with the Mils hilling those lovely big eyes of Hers; her whole a-pect suirirested especi.illy toayoung Li. iitenanl with ampli: means to inar rv possibilities oi tenderness unspeak able. No wonder that when Miss Paeliita permitted Lieiiteuaut Andei smi to ;raze down into her ees and returned an answering. Ing. long look, iviiifr a little feiifh. too. his head went aft-r his In-art. which had been lost for an eternity that is to say for two terrific, sleepless weeks. IJul the young lady was discreet, and. gently clasping his lingers, re moved t in from her waist, saying demurely : l)i)ii"l : foolish. John. Somebody niav be looking." This, in a city of .100 0)0 inhabitants and in full sight of the ever vigilant garrison, struck John as beiug not im probable. Instant in action. as becime a soldier. Lieutenant Anderson executed a fl ink movement on a sand bank, seated Miss de Sola in its ice. on a large, water whitened, sun-dried log of driftwood. Then t'e consummate tactician re peated the original attack, with entire success. "Pachita. oh. mv darliug," breathed the ecstatic Lieutenant, straining her to his side and immediately showing a disposition to put a knee upon the beach. Well. John?" and the smile of love and gratified vanity that smote his eyes blinded them. Name the day. oh. Pachita; I can not live till you do!"' Pachita pursed her full red lips, puckered the midnight eyebrows and considered profoundly, he digging deep into the sand with his cane the while. "The day. my own love the day!" gasped John. D ar me." Miss de Sola exclaimed, suddenly, "what a beautiful shell" Damn the shell!'1 cried Lieutenant Anderson, reaching for what she had unearthed, to cast it wrathfully out among the unnoticed diamonds aud opals. But he was restrained in wonder. IS ACGUST, 1323. The same sun was enriching the dancing waters of the same bay with diamonds and opals. A young couple who strolled down to the Presidio beach admired the view very much, and Senorita Pachita de Sola had no occa sion to remind the Lieutenant by her side that somebody might be looking. Lieutenant Juan deEuheandia would have liked greatly to coil his arm about that slim waist, but did not dare, though there was only a small sleepy garrison, and no city at all behiud them only the padres and Indians at the Mission Dolores, far over the sand hills, and a cabin or two down at the cm ha read ore. entirely out of sight. Pacaita de Sola was niece of Com mandante Don Luis Antonia Arguello; and though he. Lieutenant Juan de Eeheandia. was a nep!iew of Don Zone Maria, of the same name, one. even tnough an aristocrat, has under all cir cumstances to show proper respect for his commanding olucer. ise-odes. the Senorita Pachita had twice refused his friendly offered hand. It was believed that her voting af fectious were bestowed upon Ensign Tiburcio Mandez. at Montercv, though this was not known to a certainty at the Presidio. Lieutenant Juan de Echeandie and Senorita Pachita de Sola walked leis urely to the little wbarf where that wonderful vessel, constructed but re cently by a wandering British sailor. lay preparing for a voyage to Sausalito four leagues distant. It was a marvelous boat, with oars and a sail, and capable of accommo dating no less than six persons. Dun Luis Antonia Arguello himself had commanded her in person on a dozen passages which she had male to the opposite shore for timber. Previous to the creation of this extraordinary ship, which auuihilated distance and obliterated time, timber was bard to get from Corte de Madera. Sailors were sent around by way of San Jose, armed with axes, who cross ed the Straits of Carquincz on rafts, and in the circuit of seventy leagues encountered hardships and consumed weeks. And the timber was brought over by the Chief Marin, an aborigine, given to cruising on a float of logs and tules. who alone knew the winds and currents of the bay. It was but a day now to sail over for the timber and re turn with it. Corporal Pedro Sanchez had made all the voyages with the commandants, and rated now as a superior navigator, his marine fame being - clear to him. Don Luis had swollen him with pride by placing him . in command for this one trip. His enlargement became perilous when Lieutenant Eeheandia sir? pewits seaijoarg psaoajOQ sacjjj pain as -rjoo ssapqSnoqt pa SanoA" Saiq aq9 pnv 'aSvAOA 8tj aBtu iaqj )tsqi vv.svj l!Joasfi oi pasodoad ijuappng Mejico supertny as tar as Sfvngie lsiaau, descanting eloquently o9 the art and mystery of seamanship. Jssuingto his crew of three soldiers sundry orders in a commanding voice of thunder, he prepared to pass the point. Alas, an eastern wind came whis tling through the treacherous Raccoon strait, and in spite of all Corporal Pedro's seamanship, the Mejico' was caught and whirled round and round, and home with' the racing tide toward tho Golden G it. Senorita Pachita d: Sola screamed, but there was no help scot dowu from heaven, even on the appeal from those pretty lips, grown quite white, or of that pule face, with its big black eyes wild with terror. Lieutenant Juan de Ec'ieandia sworo swore at Corporal Pedro Sane ez. but profanity, though frequently an adjunct to navigation, is not of use ill imoarting knowledge thereof. So out to sea they drilled, far out. almost to Fasellones. For eight days and nights they were as a chip ou the w aves, the Riceooii gusts having snapped the mast and carried awav the sail. Corporal Pft dro. famous as a mariner, ha I forgot t"ii to bring oars.

Corporal Pedro, though a fool ami un lort iinate. was loyal. With dim the Lieutenant kept waich ami watch and through all those eight days an I nights by my pen it is true tnat the boat was gone that long, as von niav read in Ilittell's "History of California" the Senorita de sola wanted for neither food nor drink, and the delicicv of Lieutenant Juan would have brougnt tears of gratefulness to any woman's eves, lie did wonders, as tradition has handed down, with cloaks and coats an 1 stray bits of rope to cabin the lady. On the eighth day sincere prayer is answered a blessed wind sprang up from the west. aud, tide assisting, blew the Mej'co badi through the Goidmi Gale. The cruising Chief Mrain. on his tule float, was sent by Providence to tow her to the Presidio wharf, where the command int and t he cheering.gar rison awaiied the return of the lost to life, the ones saved in an unquestion able miracle. The padres bore the lesson home in many a sermon. . As the Senorita de Sola rose in the stern to disembark she tottered from weakness and agitation. Lieutenant Juan stretched out an arm and pre served her from a ducking. She gave a little scream, not at the public embrace, but because, in throw ing up her small brown hands, she had broken a slender gold chain that hung about her neck broken it, aud over into the deep yvater it went, to getirer with a locket that had rested on her virgin bosom. Mv dears."' said Commander Don Luis Antodio Arguello, when they had refreshed themselves at his quarters and related tiieir adventures "my dears, I think that under all the cir cumstances the b"st thing you can do is to get married, and at once." "I'm with you." exclaimed Lieuten ant Juan de Echeaudia, in Spanish, opening his arms. And Senorita Pachita de Sola crept timidly into them, hiding her lovely, blushing face upon his happy, weather beaten breast. is august, is. o. again; Lieutenant John Anderson was re strained from throwing ih.i ahalona shell into th bay. afwr his indefensi ble language concerning it. oecause, imbedded under a transparent over lying iridescent deposit, re beheld an open locket, showing the face of a handsome young man, evidently Span ish. Miss de Sola excitedly took it fro n him, scrutinized it intently. looked cp with sparkling eyes and pointed a slim, triumphant olive linger at a name beneath the miniature. - "There." she cried, "grandma did love that Monterey ensigu, though she alwavs denied it!" "But Pachita Pachita. darling, do name the day." pleaded Lieutenant Anderson all a throb. "Oh. bother!" impatiently returned Miss de Sola, absorbed again in the abalonc. "Name it yourseif." Sun Francisco Argonaut. Paying for the Patch. An oll sea-dog. Sawyer by name, was a privileged character ou a certain man-of-war, writes a correspondent, because of his age and the length of time he had been in the service. lie eked ont his pay by making aud sell ing uniforms for the other men, and as he had the market entirely to him self it was natural that he should be come a little autocratic in his dealings. On one occasion a young sailor wished to buy a pair of white duck workiug trousers. Old Sawyer, holding a pair of second-hand trousers at arm length, de canted upon their various excellencies until he was compelled to pause for breath. At that point the youug fel low ventured to ask, meekly: "And what might the price be, Mr. Sawyer?" The old man hemmed aud hawed and began thus: "Waal, young fellow. I reckon you know what white duck costs from the paymaster, don't you? Fifty cents a yard, ain't it? And so many vards is $2 altogether. Then there's the "thread. 10 cents yve call it. $2.10; and the mak ing will bring it up to $3.50. I calker late ye yvon't quarrel with that; and then there's this blue patch," he con tinued, stroking it lovinglv; "I put that in myself last summer, an1 it's a good piece of work. I'm 'fraid I shall. have to charge you 20 cents extra for that patch, say $3.70 altogether." I he money was paid and received without a word, neither party seeming to, think it surprising that patched trousers should cost more than whole ones. Youth's Companion.
