Part 1.
The largest tent of the Tasajasa camp
meeting: wai crowded to its utmost ex
tent The excitement of that dense
mass was at. its highest pitch. Rev.
Stephen Masterton, the single, erect,
. passionate figure of that confused med
ley of kneeling worshipers, had reached
the culminating pitch of his irresist
ible exhortalory power. : Sighs and
groans were beginning to respond to
bis appeals, when the reverend brother
was seen to lurch heavily forward and
(all to the ground.
At first the effect was that of a part,
of his performance; the groans re
doubled, and twenty or thirty brethren
threw themselves prostrate in humble
Imitation of the preacher. But BiBter
Deborah Stokes, perhaps through some
. special revelation of feminine Intui
tion, grasped the fallen man, tore loose
hJs black silk necktie and dragged htm
tree of the struggling, frantic crowd.
Whose paroxysms he had Just evoked.
It may have struck her that his own
condition was not essential to that con
dition In others. Howbelt, he was pale

when he had slightly recovered, it was
found that any attempt to renew his
fervid exhortations produced the same
disastrous result
It so chanced that the medical prac
titioner of the district was a man of
large experience, of military training
and plain speech. When, therefore, he
one day found in his surgery a man of
rude western type, strong limbed and
sunburned, but trembling, hesitating
and neurotic In movement, after listen
ing to his symptoms gravely, he asked,
abruptly: "And how much are you
drinking now?"
"I am a llfelond abstainer," Blam
mered his patient, in quivering indig
nation. But this was followed by an
other question so frankly appalling to
the hearer that he staggered to his

"and an enemy of the flesh in all Its
forms!"
"I beg your pardon," responded Dr.
Duchesne, grimly, "but as your are suf

citation of the nervous system, and the
depression following prolonged artificial
exaltation it makes little, difference

patient

and salt pork and flapjacks simple?"
aid the doctor, coolly. "They are com
mon enough, and if you were working
With your muscles Instead of your
nerves. In that frame of yours they
might not hurt you: but you are suf
fering as much from eating more than
you can digest as the veriest gourmand.
You must stop all that .Go down to a
quiet hotel In some watering place for
two months. ,,. .";
"I go to a watering place?" inter
rupted Masterton; "to the haunt of the
Idle, the frivolous and wanton never!"
. "Well, I'm not particular about a
Watering place,' " said the doctor with
S shrug, "although a little Idleness and
frivolity with different food wouldn't
hurt you but you must go somewhere
and change your habits and mode of
life completely. Call your vocation a
'calling,' If you like It's a vocation, ad
the same, and ydu are suffering from Its
excess: If you wish to be able to' con

find you some sleepy old Spanish town
In the southern county where you can
rest and diet If this Is distasteful to
you, urn continued, grimiy, - you can
always call It 'a trial' "
Stephen Masterton may have thought
It so when, a week later, he found him
self Issuing from a rocky gorge Into a
rough, badly-paved, hilly street, which
seemed to be only a continuation of the
mountain road itseif. It broadened
suddenly into a square or plaza, flank
ed on each side by an Irregular row of
yellowing adobe houses.
Rev. Stephen Masterton felt his throat

guidly In front Of a black rose-crested
head at a white-curtained window. Me
knew he was 'stifling with righteous
wrath, and clapped his spurs to is

Nevertheless In a few days, by the aid
Of a letter to the Innkeeper, he was In

not unlHce those he hau seen, but situ
ated in .the outskirts, and overlooking
the garden and part of the refectory of
the old mission. It had even a small
garden of Its own If a Strip of hot wall,
overburdened with yellow and white
roues, a dosen straggling callus, a bank
of heliotrope, and an almond tree could
be called a gardner. It had an open
doorway, but so heavily recessed In the
thick walls that it preserved seclusion,
a sitting-room, and an alcoved bed
room with deep embrasured windows,
that, however, excluded the unwinking
sunlight and kept an even monotone of
shade.
Strange to say, -he found it cool, rest
ful, and. In spite of the dust, absolutely
clean. A wrinkled Indian woman,
browed and veined like a tobacco leaf,
ministered to his stmpble wants. But
these wants had also been regulated uy
Dr. Duchesne. He found himself break
fasting on a single cup of chocolate In
stead ot his usual bowl of molasses
sweetened coffee; crumbling a crisp tor
tilla Instead of the heavy saleratus
bread,' greasy flap Jack, or the lard fried
steak, and, more wonderful still, com
pleting his repast with purple grapes
from the mission wall. He could not de
ny that it was simple that It was even
refreshing and consistent with the cli
mate and his surorundlnffs. On the
other hand. It was the frugal diet of t.ie
commonest peasant and were not those
peons slothful Idolators?
At the end of the week his corre
spondence being also restricted by his
doctor to a few lines to himself regard
ing his progress he wrote to that ad
viser: The trembling and unquiet has al
most ceased; I have less nightly turmoil
and visions; my enrna! p.Dpetlte seems
to be amply modified and soothed by
these viands, whatever may be inelr ul
timate effect upon the weakness of our
common sinful nature. But I should
not l truthful to you if I did not vrani
you that I am viewing with the deepest
spiritual concern a decided tendency
towards sloth, ard a folding of the
hands over matters that often, I fear,
are spiritual as well as temporal. I
would ask you to consider. In a spirit of
love; If It be not wise to rouse my apa
thetic flesh, so as to strive, even with
the feeblest exhortations against this
sloth in others If only to keep oneself
from falling In the pit of easy Indul
gence. What an answer lie received In rot
known, but It Is to bepresumed that he
kept loyal faith with his physician, and
gave himself up to simple walks and
rides and occasional meditation. His
solitude was not broken upon; curiosity
was too uctlve cY vice, and Induced too
was to active b vice, and Induced too
much exertion for his Indolent neigh
bors, and the Americano's basking se
clrslon. though unlike the hnblts of his
countrymen, did not affect them. The
shopkeeper and Innkeupor saluted him
always with a profound courtesy.whlch
awakened his Flight resentment, partly
because he was conscious that It was
grateful to him, and pavtly that he felt
he oucht to have provoked Tn them a
Icbs satlslled rendition.
His afternoon meditations and the
perusal of his only book the Bible
were regularly broken in upon at about
sunset by two or three strokes from the
cracked bell that hung tn the open bel
fry which reared Itself beyond the
gnarled pear trees. He could not say
that it was apgreruive or persistent,
like his own church bells, nor that It
even expressed to him any religious
sentiment. Moreover, It was not a
"Sabbath" bell, but a dally one, and
even then seemed to be only a signal to
ears easily responsive, rather than a
stern reminder. And the hour was al
ways a singularly witching one.
It was at this hour, one afternoon,
that, with the released scents of the
garden, there came to hlin a strange
and subtle perfume that was new to his
senses. He laid aside his book, went
Into the garden, and half unconscious
of h.is trespass, jiased through the mis
sion .orchard and thence Into the little
churchyard beside the church.
He walked to the door of the church;
to' 'his surprise' it was open. Standing
upCri the threshold, he glanced Inside
and' stood for a moment utterly bewil
dered. In a roan of refined tasto and
education .that bizarre and highly col
ored Interior would have only provoked
a sfriile or shrug; to Stephen Master
tori's highly emotional nature, but ar
tistic Inexperience, strangely enough,
It waa profoundly ' Impressive. The
heavily-Umbered, roughly-hewn roof,
barred with alternate bands of blue and
Indian red, the crimson hangings, the
gold and black draperies, affected this
religious backwoodsman exactly as
they-were designed to affect the heath

ds-led him like the rayed disc of the
setting sun. v
He was turning quickly away when
the keeper of the Ttenda a man of
sloth and sin gently approached him
from the shadows of a column, with a
mute gesture, which he took to be one
of Invitation., 'A fierce protest of scorn
and Indignation swelled tp his throat,
but died upon his lips. Tet he had
strength enough to erect his gaunt
emaciated figure, throwing out his long
arms and extended pslms In the atti
tude of defiant exArclsm and then rush
swiftly from the church.' As he did so
he thought he saw a faint smile cross
the. shop keeper's face, and a whis
pered exchange of words with a neigh
boring worshiper of more exalted ap
pears net. came to his ears. But It was
hot Intelligible to his comprehension.
The next day he wrote te his doctor
In that quaint grandiloquence of written-
speech with which the half-educa-ed
man balances the slips of his col
loquial phrasing: ;
Do not let the purgation of my flesh
be unduly protracted. What the sloth

which I see dally around me. I feel that
without a protest not only the flesh but
the spirit is mortified. But my bodily
strength Is mercifully returning, and I
found myself yesterday able to take a
long tide at that hour which they here
keep sacred for an Idolatrous rite, un
der the beautiful name of "The Ange
lus," Thus do they bear false witness
to Him! Can you tell me the meaning
of the Spanish words, "Don Keyhot
ter?" I am Ignorant of these sensuous
southern languages, and am aware that
this is not the correct spelling, but 1
huve striven to give the phonetic equiv
alent It was used, I am inclined to
think. In reference to myself, by an
Idolater.
P. a Tou need not trouble yourself.
I have Just ascertained that the words
In question were simply the title of an
Idle novel, and, of course, could not pos
sibly refer to me.
Howbelt It was as "Don Quixote"
I. e., the common Spaniard's concep
tion of the Knight of htk Mancha. mere
ly the simply fanatic and madman
that Mr. Stephen Masterton ever after
rode all unconsciously through the
streets of the mission, amid the half
pitying, half-smlling glances of the peo
ple. In spite of his meditations, his single
volume, and his habit of retiring early,
he found hla evenings were growing
lonely and tedious. He missed the
prayer meeting, and, above all, the
hymns. He had a fine baritone voice,
sympathetic as may be Imagined, but
not cultivated. One Right, In the seclu
sion of his garden, and rt-cure in his
distance from other dwellings, he raised
his volco In a familiar camp meeting
hymn with a strong Covenanter's ring
in the chorus. Growing bolder as he
went on, he at last filled the quiet night
with the strenuous sweep of his chant.
Surprised at his own fervor, he paused
for a moment, listening, half fright
ened, half ashamed of his outbreak.
But there was only the trilling of the
night wind In the leaves, or the far
off yelp of a coyote.
Tor e. moment he thought he heard
the metallic twang of a stringed Instru
ment In the mission garden beyond bis
own, and remembered his contiguity to
the church with a stir of defiance. But
he was relieved nevertheless. Hla pent
up emotion had found vent, and with
out the nervous excitement that had
followed his old exaltation. That night
he slept better. He had found the Lord
again with Ppalmody!
The next evening he chanced upon a
softer hymn of the same simplicity, but
with a vein of human tenderness in its
aspirations which his more hopeful
mood duly rendered. At the conclusion
of the first verse he was, however, dis
tinctly conscious of belli followed by
the same twanging sound he had heard
on the previous night, and which even
his untutored car could recognise as
an attempt to accompany him. But be
fore he had finished the second verse
the unknown player, after an ingenious
but Ineffectual essay to grasp the right
and almost pettish flourish, and a loud
chord, abandoned It with an Impatient
bang upon the sounding-board of the
unseen Instrument. Masterton finished
it alone.
WKh lil-i curlonity excited, however,
l.e tried to discover l!e locality of the
h'dil''ii player, the ronni evidently
nun" from thu n. in garde, but in
In- l i liinci' the Itnguagp he cjlild
. not even Interrogate his Indian house
keeper. On the third night, however,
his hymn was uninterrupted by any
sound from the former musician. A
sense of disappointment, he knew not
why, came over him. The kindly over
ture of the unseen plnyer had been a
relief to his lonellnets. Yet he had
barely concluded the hymn when the
familiar sound again struck his ears.
But this time the musician played bold
lyconfidently, and with a singular
skill on the instrument.
The brilliant prelude over, to his- en
tire surprise and some confusion, a
soprano voice, high, childish, but Infin
itely quaint and fasclnnting, was mis
chievously uplifted. But alas! even to
his ears. Ignorant of the language, t
was very clearly a song of levity and
wantonness, of freedom and license, of
coquetry and : Incitement! Yet such
was Its fascination that he fancied It
was reclaimed by the delightful child
like and Innocent expression of the
singer.
Enough that this tall, gaunt, broad
shouldered niun arose, and overcome by
a curiosity almost as childlike, slipped
into the garden and gilded with an In
dian softnesss of tread towards the
voice. The moon shown full upon the
ruined mission wall, tipped with clus
ters of dark foliage. Half hiding, half
mingling with one of them an Indis
tinct bulk of llKht-colored huddled
fleeces like an extravagant bird's nest
hung the unknown musician. So In
tent was the performer's preoccupation,
that Masterton actually reached the
base of the wall Immediately below the
figure, without attracting Its attention.
But his foot slipped on the crumbling
debris with a snapping of dry twigs.
There was a quick little cry from above.
He had barely time to recover hla posi
tion before the singer. Impulsively
leaning over the parapet, had lost hers,
end fell ciutwarda. But Masterton was
tall, alert and sclf-Tinpsessed, and threw
out his lore arms. Th" lfxt moment
they were full of soft flounce?, a strug
gling figure was against his breast, and
p. woman's frightened little hands
around his neck. .
