O^ ( ^ By Mary Edith Griswold. ^ . ^ ' ; , A sea of sand with waves of sage- 1 brush. Far off on the horizon the jagged peaks of the Sierras. Over * all the blue sky and burning sun of 1 Arizona. 1 Something was the matter with the 1 engine. The train crept up to the ' next station and stopped. Jane Mac- 1 kenzie got down to take the air. Oth- ' er passengers were walking up and ! down within ear of the conductor's 1 3ignal. ( A small Indian girl ran out of an 1 adobe house across the way and waved her little arms in beckon to } tnem. Jane went toward her. The - child fled into the house, but Jane 1 went right on, past the hut, past the ' other huts, straight toward the moun tains. The swift breeze brought her s a message. 1 As she walked on the tired look, ' the sadness in her eyes, the droop in 1 the shoulders vanished. Her soul was awakening. The scream of the ' locomotive sounded from the moving ( frrain Sho tnrnpH and watnhed the s cars recede across the face of the desert. "Good-bye, old life; good-bye, am bition; good-bye, Malcolm." At this name the exultant note in her voice changed to infinite tenderness. A tear slid out of the corner of her eye and sparkled a minute on her cheek. Then it fell on her hand. She brushed it away. "I didn't think I could ever say that and really mean it. But I do." With this declaration the last fetter of gloom vanished. She threw her arms up toward heaven and shouted: "I am free! free! free!" Presently Jane found herself fol lowing a trail. It led up through a dry arroyo to a little mesa where a small adobe house basked in the sun. An old Indian woman was sitting in the shade. Jane went up to her and held, out her hand. "Buenos dias, madre," she said, smiling. The old woman returned the salu tation, took the proffered hand and pressed it. I am lost to my world, began the girl; "won't you take me in and let ( me become a part of yours?" The old Indian woman did not un derstand the full meaning of the J academic Spanish spoken by her guest, but she understood the appeal 1 In the voice. "You are welcome, aenorita," she said, "enter." "It is pleasant here," said Jane. 1 "Let us sit ohtside where we can 1 watch the world." 1 "Bueno." * The two women sat down on a * bench in front of the house. A long : silence followed. The shadows grew Into long purple lines across the gray of the sagebrush. Finally the girl epoke: "I am very hungry; have we ' anything to eat?" s '"fhere is corn in the tin and wr.'.ar In the olla. We shall eat," said old ^ Guadaloupe. "It Is well, madre; I will grind the 2orn while you make the fire." Jane had been reared in a Cali- j fornia town with a Spanish past and understood the manufacture of the * tortilla. She found the metate and 1 was soon busy grinding the hulled ^ corn into meal on the stone mortar. Guadaloupe watched, her eyes lit ? with curiosity and Indian caution. .. Her life up to this day had been a succession of days as like each other as .blades of grass. Thir was her first real experience since her Apache " husband had taken her to w^fe. In the days of her youth the dance had made her heart beat quick, but those were years agone. Her man had long been serving as a section hand on the railroad; nothing ever stirred him up except the periodical persecutions of his section boss. But even his sullen hatred of the Amer ican boss had grown to be an old j1 Btory. Away off, very far in Apache c land, the braves did sometimes even 1 yet dance the war dance, make medi- r cine, and ride on the warpath, but ^ Guadaloupe and her man, Juan, only 1 heard faint rumors of such delight- r ful doings long after they had hap- * pened. Juan had been a pacifico ever c since his love for her had made him 1 a "soft heart," and the tribe never c sent him word to join their raids. s Guadaloupe did not in the least ( understand how a young American 1 lady wearing such fine clothes should stray so far from her city home, nor 1 why she should wish to stay with two ] old Indians in the desert, but the \ love she bore for her man illumined k the dark recesses of her mind and : made her full of sympathy for the 1 stranger. Guadaloupe had worked for the American station agent's wife and knew that her household utensils were meagre, but the stranger didn't * seem to mind. She was so pretty, so 1 gay, so joyously hungry that Guada- 1 loupe aia not tninK too deeply or v these things. What pleased her best ? was that so fair a creature should f call her mother. I The short Arizona twilight was al- c most gone when old Juan came home. The surprise he must have felt at ' finding a strange young lady in his * fcouse was carefully concealed. He shook the girl's hand gravely and * went inside to eat his evening meal. 1 Guadaloupe went with him. 1 Jane was left alone in the gloam- c ing. From afar off over the desert s sounded the cry of a coyote. With- 1 in, her heart beat fiercely, exultingly. c Jane's hour had come. She felt that it was her entrance into the promised land. There are rare moments when i the soul soars and, leaving the real 11 far below, carries us into the big wide spaces where nothing mundane mat ters. In such moments the voice in terior is heard, and we commune with the music of the spheres. Jane knew but vaguely that such moods are out | moments, though moments big aa years; yet they pass. It was a mo ment when the cry of passion and of worldly pain was hushed within her. The heartache of the past months dissolved into a feeling of ecstatic freedom. Behind those hills lay the land of yesterday, left by her forever. ! and she had come to a new land j where all was peaceful, rhythmic, harmonious. Night came. The stars shone out I The three lay down upon the mats ' on the floor of the house and slept, j ?*?**#* Days passed. The old life did not reclaim Jane. After a few days she went down into the town and got a roll of manila wrapping paper. With :oals from the fire she began to draw pictures of Guadaloupe and her man. First she did so only to please the aid people, but gradually the artist's longing for self expression came back, only saner and truer. Then she sent for oil colors. Jane was astonished to find how her grasp of medium had ijrown, and how with each day she :ame nearer to achieving complete success. At last she began to paint ler picture, an old Indian woman wel- < :oming her man home at the close of 3ay. i Day after day old Guadaloupe and tier man Juan watched the picture. Day by day It grew in beauty and power. To the two Indians it be came a sacred thing. "There is good in the world so long is two people can love Jiko that," j | :hought Jane, as she watched the ;entle kindness of her two wrinkled parents. At last the picture was finished. Jane put it away for a time. Then, Dne day, she uncovered it to see what she had wrought. A long time she : ;azed on the picture. "0, Love," she ' :ried. "O, dear Love." When Guadaloupe came in she found Jane in tears. The old woman put her arms about the young girl ind let her cry her heart out on her jreast. A few weeks later Juan brought a j letter for Jane. It was from her i picture dealer. Jane read it and put t away. She had won. The years of onging for this hour now seemed ;rivial compared to the big things of ife which the desert had taught her. N'ext evening, as the three sat watch ng the stars come out, Jane told Juan ;hat she had sold the picture for so nuch money that if she gave him a jeso each day he would have to live is many lives as all the men in the section gang put together before she i :ould get rid of the money. Then she ;old him that he and the mother should have anything they wanted 1 so long as they both lived. i "Will you always stay with us?" i isked Juan. "Yes," said Jane, "and I shall take i lare of Guadaloupe as if she were my >wn mother." i A strange light of satisfaction :ame into the old Apache's eyes. ' 'Would you give me a hundred '< jesos?" he asked. Without a word Jane untied hei eather purse and handed him the noney. The old Indian took the gold jieces and put them into his tobacco jouch. Next morning, when Jane arose, ruan was gone. It was the first time le had left the house before break ast. A few hours afterward the sta ion agent and one of the white sec- j ion hands rode up. They were both irmed. "Where is your man?" they isked Guadaloupe, threateningly. "I don't know," said the old woman j vith a shruj;. "What is the matter?" asked Jane, j "The section boss has been mur lered," said the station agent. "He vas found dead on the track with a mllet through his heart. We knew ight away that an Indian hacl done t, because he had been scalped. We enow who done it, too, because this lere Indian only this morning bought i rifle and cartridge's from one of the Mexican section hands. And now he j las run away on the boss' horse.'' Juan joined his tribe. A troop of ; loldiers was sent to get him. In the | ndian war that followed, the leader j >f the renegade band that escaped nto Mexico was Juan, the former jacifico. He, too, had followed the i :all of the inner voice.?San Fran- j :isco Argonaut. Germany's Mask Industry.

Infant's Bottle Holder. Probably the first thing the young infant learns?or inherits?is an in stinct to toss his nursing bottle on the floor. This continual breakage of bottles is invariably put down as an expense to be expected, and no ef fort is apparently made to prevent it. Tying a string to the bottle is consid ered too great a nuisance to warrant the trouble involved. A very excel lent and simple arrangement is a lit tle holder invented by a Maryland man. It consists of a tether, at one end of which is a spring loop which fits around the neck of the botle. The ends of the spring loop are spaced apart and connect with a cord hav ing a slip knot, which tends to draw the ends of the loop together. The free end of the cord is attached to the couch or crib, and when baby pitches out the bottle it is prevented from striking the ground and break ing.?Washington Star.

Call of Another World." by Charles Torquet, In the Metropolitan Magazine. The days in Mars are of about the iame length as ours: twenty-four lours, thirty-nine minutes, twenty hree seconds. Mars makes her orbit f iround the sun in a little more than e 586 days, therefore the seasons are a ilmost twice as long as they are with 1 is. The atmosphere of Mars is rich i n watery vapors. Oceans can be a ;een, and at the poles thick ice, which e nelts when summer comes. The i variations in temperature are ex- t ;reme. Mars receives only half as a nuch solar heat as our globe does. ( The sun appearn half as large, and < ;he nights receive their light from 1 ] ;wo moons, which are smaller than >urs?Deimo3 and Phobos. The weight is such that one of our iilograms would only weigh three s lundred and seventy-six grams there. f ^ man is only able to carry his own * weight on his back. Transported to < Vlars, he could carry three times as ) nuch, something like two hundred md twenty-five kilos. In taking ob- t servations of Mars through the tele scope, one can see a distinct red , lisk, marked with more or less bril iant spots. Some of the spots which , iro crppnish are the oceans, other ^ rery red ones are the continents, * greater in extent than the oceans, vhich is the opposite to the way the c. ;arth is disposed. ,The most bril iant spots are the ice-covered re gions of the poles, and the clouds ire almost equally bright. The at uosphere of Mars is more transpar- * ;nt than ours, and its sky is incom- ? )arably clear. 1 The waters of Mars are more di- * rided and distributed in inland seas 1 oined by long arms, which are some- i :imes incurving, but oftenest almost 1 ectilinear, and which mark the bril- * iant surface of the planet wit? dark 1 ines, just as the line of lead divides * he panes of glass in our church win- t lows. All these dark lines form a i Dattern which is relatively symmetri- 1 :al, and which does not seem to have | ? aeen made by chance. A plan so i egular must have been designed, and 1 !or a long time the observers of Mars t laVe been disposed to consider these ines as canals dug by thp inhabitants jf the planet for the needs of their jivilizatton. t WORDS OF WISDOM.
