PAGE FOUR MEMORY OF THE MOON tt by Jeanne Bowman YESTERDAY: Constance meets Carl Pedersen, the dairy man, in San Francisco, and feels confident of his ability.’ Pedro welcomes her back to El Cabril- lo Rancho but something seems wrong. Chapter 20 Rebellion I NO stood in the little en- trance court, and behind. him, white of face, hostile of eye, dressed in shabby clothes, stood the personnel of El Cabrillo cho. “So this is the welcome you give me,” said Constance. Juliano straightened. “Si, sefi- orita,” he agreed, and the heads behind him nodded emphatically. “Juliano, what is wrong? Why are you acting in this way? You were so kind when I went away, are you sorry I’ve returned?” “You weesh to know,” stated Juliano. “Bueno, I tell you. “For more than one hundred year, our people have herd the cattle of the Cabrillos. For them we have work weeth the heart and the hand. Then Pedro he say to us that you will sell to him and they will turn thees place to cows ... cows weeth milk,” he Spat. “Then you come and we think: thees Seiiorita Conchita Cabrillo, she is our saviour. She will save us our place in the sun. She will keep our horses that we may herd the cattle on the golden hills of El Cabrillo, and we are made happy. “We would have worked weeth the hand for Pedro, who is bot a gringo, bot when we learn that thees Seforita Conchita say we are to be shovelers of debris; meelkers of cows, we say no. “She then is not one true Ca- brillo. We have no welcome for one who is not a Cabrillo.” And Juliano folded his arms across his chest and defied her with his eyes. Constance looked at him and tried to stifle the hysterical laughter bubbling up. She was dreaming. She’d wandered into a wild and woolly western film by mistake. “Let me get this straight,” she said. “You would work for the Taylors because they are gringos and don’t know any better, but you refuse to work for me be- eause by turning this place into a dairy ranch, I am proving I'm not a Cabrillo and so demean the name, the place, and you.” “Si!” confirmed Juliano, “si,” echoed the others. ] would make of suggestion,” eontinued Juliano smoothly, “that the sefiorita would return to the sefiora and let the Don Ca- brillo, who is the man of thees family, make attend to thees rancho.” Don Cabrillo. Constance felt a red anger, half-Mahoney, half- Cabrillo, sweep over her. So Don, who hadn’t cared to visit the ranch, who hadn’t been there since child, had more influence over these people than did she who was trying to save it for the Cabrillos. ‘Worship Of The Past’ LL of the bitterness she had tasted in that past two months ‘was on Constance’s lips as she lashed at the people before her. “You say I am not a Cabrilo. Tm not. I'm a Mahoney. I'm a throwback from the old Fishman who saved this land for your peo- ple once. I'm trying to save it for you again. “I'm going to do, in my day, what Michael Mahoney did in his, restock the ranch in cattle best fitted to current conditions. “You outriders know we haven't enough grazing land for the ¢attle‘we run. You, all of you, should know that if we cut down our run it will mean that some of you will have to go outside to make a living. Can you? Do you know what it means to have to pay rent and buy food? “You pretend a loyalty to the Cabrillos. Do you want them to suffer for your stubbornness? Are you so crystallized in your fa- natic worship of the past that you would starve, see El Cabrillo de- nuded of its last bl watch the cattle di save your face? “Well, I won't! “T've had to barter my future for this land, and I'm going to fight through and save it. “Now, you men who are men, back to the herds you left tu tended, and the rest of you, ba and Ss Micheel,” Maria, waddling up, “ make the spee find a smile on her lips .. . for Pedro. From_ the opered wardrobe, where Dolores, to whom keys had been mailed, had hung her THE KEY WEST CITIZEN _ =: SOCIETY : Various Artists Exhibit At clothes, Constance chose_a long Outdoor Mart Held Yesterday dinner dress of garnet velvet, and with it wore an heirloom of the Cabrillos, a necklace of dull gold squares inset with garnets and seed pearls. Dolores stood back in rapt ad- miration. “Eef you could bot look like thees when you make the speak, they would have knelt at the feet before you,” she mur- mured. Constance paid little attention to the thought beneath this, until she was alone with Meg. Meg had gathered her into warm arms and Constance had'found nothing in- congruous in a Cabrillo being so greeted by a “house-keep.” “Divil take them,” muttered Meg, when Constance had laugh- ingly told of Dolores’ doubtful compliment. “Don’t they know ies are dead? They let them find out a lady’s a lady in heart and not in coverings, these days.” Gold Locket HE Taylors gave Constance the holiday she should have had with her own family; the welcome the people of El Ca- brillo should have given her. There was the dinner, with Meg hovering over her, seeing she had the best of everything, and then the Christmas tree disgorged gifts. A turtle necked sweater to match the beret, knitted by Meg. A scarlet poncho and billed cap from Peter Senior, and from Pedro, a long jeweler’s box. Constance opened it slow: frowned a little. It contained an old-fashioned gold chain with a golden heart for a locket. “Open it,” prompted Meg. Constance touched the snap and two faces were revealed, a beard- ed man and a prim, rosy-cheeked have to worship, do they?

In a gay and chatty style, profusely illustrated with 48 full-color illustrations, many of them full-page in size, Mrs. Burroughs’ work glamorizes and jglorifies a hobhy which is claim- ing the attention of an ever-in- creasing number of women. The subject matter of the book ranges from humble sunflowers and morning glories to rare and exotic blooms. Its practical ap- plication covers the cottage, the apartment, and the mansion.

She was the only one in the family who woul have looked at it a second time and she loved it. She sensed then, what she later learned, that it had been pawned by a Cabrillo who had set no value on it. “If you don’t mind,” she mur- mured, “I'd like to cry .. . just a little bit?” “You do and I'll sing,” threat- ened Peter Senior, and burst into When Irish Eyes are Smiling. He led Constance to the piano, piled music before her, then sat down, his injured leg out before songs. An hour before the huge fire- place followed, Constance and Pe- ter Taylor talking of the ranch, Pedro sitting back in the shad- ows, silent. “Of course I’m still manager here,” Taylor warned her once, “but I won't over-ride you if you don’t try to over-ride me. I like that Pedersen. He spent a few after you first wrote him. We'll work together. “Pedro is driving me'down to San Francisco next week. I in- tend getting top prices on the cattle before we send them out. That should offset the incoming herds to a good degree.” He went on talking and Con- stance was puzzled. The man seemed as interested in the re- placement and the future of the ranch, as he would have been had she sold to him. “Mr. Taylor,” she asked sud- denly, “why didn’t you tell us of the proposed railroad right- of-way through the ranch?” Peter Taylor rumbled under his breath, then looked at his son and sighed. “Well, Michael, it was this way.
