Monterey. His ideas for Trea.mre Island were gained from the Monterey Coast. PIONEER'S LUCK Jeanne, where is Paul?7' came from Pierre Duval. t'Isn't he with you? I haven't seen him since breakfast, about two hours ago, returned his sister. Then, ttEmile, go with Pierre and help him find Paul, while I finish these doughnuts. He can't have gone far, but we must start in an hour, and it would never do to start to California without little Paul. This conversation took place in the little house of a French family in New Orleans, 1851. The children, Pierre, 18, Jeanne, 15g Amelie, 83 Emile, 11, and Paul, 6 years old were preparing for the journey to California to join their father, Pierre Duval, who had sent them enough money to come to him. It was a serious matter, this journey, to the little family, for it meant they would see their father, who had been gone for two years. Five minutes later the two boys returned with sleepy Paul, who had been waiting in the old wagon for two hours, so as to be ready to start as early as the others.

Many days of traveling found them out on the prairie, marveling over the unlimited space of grass and wild flowers, such as they had never seen before. It Wasnlt long until a group of six wagons overtook them, for the horses, Dolcie and Peter, were slow. This was the best part of the journey for they had big campfires at evening, when each one showed his skill. These wagons kept with the Duvals for about one week, but they were soon im- patient to start again, although they wished to help these plucky children. Before leaving, one little girl named Elizabeth Carter brought a large gray tom-cat to Amelie, who had often admired him. The cat was not handsome, mainly because he was sadly out of proportion and had lost part of his prized tail in some unknown way, but as Elizabeth explained, he had a nice disposition and was really quite likable. Amelie, understanding that this girl was giving a prized possession, said, I shall call him Augustine, after Great-great-grandfather Duval, who was a very l21I
