GOVERNOR PARDEE of California. NARRATIVE OF A VICTIM 193 no campfires, fearing that the trees of the park might catch and drive thepeople out of this refuge to the open and wind-swept sands by the ocean.The wind, which had saved the heights, came cold across the park,driving a damp fog, and for those who had no blankets it was a terriblenight. Many were exhausted and could not sleep even in the cold; theythrew themselves down in the wet grass and fell asleep. When morming came the people even prepared to make the camppermanent. An ingenious man hung up before his little blanket sheltera sign upon a stick, giving his name and his address before the fire wipedhim out.

WITH eyes on the future and with memories of past prosperity acting-as inspirations rather than discouraging sorrows, San Franciscoseemed to have forgfotten its comfortable home
