crowded close with bloom of purple
and red, their fragrance drifting down
the mountainside, through the net
work of wild grape vine, to valley
below.
From deep caverns of the earth He
released glistening threads of silvery
water that sought sunlight through
clefts in the mountain’s base, ana
coming forth in bubbling springs,
gathered volume, and spread into a
winding river, crystal clear.
Tall marsh grasses and swaying
reeds grew along the river’s margin,
and morn and night-time, harbored
birds that whirred about, rose and
fell to drink and dip into the cooling
waters, then swept on like speeding
gulf clouds on a summer’s day.
Finished, the Great Gift lay wait-
ing—who knows whether an aeon or
a day? Who shall say?
One morn there rose from the sum-
mit of the highest mountain a curl
of thin blue smoke. Again and again

THE SIN OF OMISSION
Per Column inch ..............................25c curl, for straight as the crow flies,
from the distant Northwest had come
the Chieftain, Rain-in-the-Face,
bringing his squaw, and his daughter
sweet Wind-in-the-Rushes, fairest and
loveliest of all Indian maidens. With
them came a young chieftain, Brave-
Heart, lover- of the maiden.
And time sped happily for the
young lovers, with canoe skimming
the shimmering waters, with long
journey to find the wild bee’s honey
tree, with the weaving- of gay colored
beads into the mosaic of tribal his-
tory, with recountal of the great
deeds of warriors now roaming the
happy hunting grounds of the Great
Spirit.
Many days had dawned and waned;
the silken tassels of the corn had
turned to russet brown; the wild haw
fell in rich harvest from the trees,
when one morn an Indian runner
came bearing rumors of strange men
from across the Great Waters; men
who wore gleaming sheets of metal
before their hearts, and strange wea-
pons; men who planted shining points
in the soil and named the country
for their king. The Spaniards, from
the security of their mission-forts
threatened the safety of the Red
tribes, cached in mountain glen, and
on guard from their teepees on moun-
tain top.
Joy faded from the faces of Rain-
in-the-Face and Brave-Heart, ^ and
gathering battle axe and bow, in the
stillness of night, they passed down
the mountainside.
No word was said to sweet Wind-
in-the-Rushes; the ripple of her
laughter, the light fall of her dainti-
ly moccasined feet, the glean? of her
richly beaded robe, as ever, were the
light of day to all who came and
went upon the mountain top.
Only the old squaw, her figure sil-
houetted in the moonlight upon the
cliff, saw them go.
“Take her”, said the young chief-
tain in farewell to the old squaw,
placing a tomahawk in her hands,
and pointing to his canoe, “Take my
sweet Wind-in-the-Rushes, and if the
Spaniards come—”. Then with face
set resolute, he went down the moun-
tainside to the Southward.
Many days passed, then came ru-
mors, startling, strange, and terrible.
The mid-summer harvest moon, a
silver crescent, hung high in the sky.
The old squaw took the maiden and
waited where the fireflies glimmered
in the tall, rank rushes, and when
the tramp of Spanish ponies, the ex-
ultant cry of a strange language
broke upon the stillness, the moon
flashed upon a lifted tomahawk, and
the bosom of the rippling water was
troubled for a moment.
The old squaw sat in the
silent—stolid—alone.

“What'k the difference?” asked the
man.
“A difference of 50 cents in this
case,” replied the agent. “The lower
is higher than the upper. The higher
price is for the lower. If you want it
lower, you’ll have to go higher. We
sell the upper lower than the lower.
In other words the higher the
lower. Most people don’t like the
upper, although it is lower on ac-
count of being higher. When you
occupy an upper you have to get up
to go to bed and get down when you
get up. You can have the lower if
you pay higher. The upper is lower
than the lower because it is higher.

It isn’t the things that you do, Dear;
It’s the thing you leave undone,
Which gives you the bit of heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten,
The letter you did not write,
The flower you might have sent,
Dear;
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brother’s way;
The bit of heartsome council
You were hurried too much to say;
The loving touch of the hand, Dear;
The gentle and winsome tone
That you had no time or thought for
With troubles enough of your own.
The little acts of kindness
So easily out of mind;
Those chances to be angels
Which everyone may find—
They come in night and silence—
Each chill reproachful wraith
When hope is faint and flagging
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all top short, Dear,
And sorrow is all too great;
To suffer our own compassion
That tarries until too late;
And it’s not the thing you do, Dear,
It’s the thing you leave undone;
Which gives you the bit of the heart-
ache
At the setting of the sun.

WIND-IN-THE-RUSHES
(A Legend of the San Marcos River)
The Great Spirit, His heart swayed
with infinite love toward the children
of earth, said, “I will make for them
a fair land, that shall be as a great
Gift to them,” and He gathered to
Himself the majesty of many low
swung hills, the green depths of the
valleys, and the mightiness of the
forest trees, deep, hung with mist-
like mosses.
The rain-clouds and the sunshine
nurtured a carpet of grasses, studded
with rain-lillies, star-like blossoms of
the storm; made to grow the lusty
laurel and the buckeye, their green
leaves glistening like emeralds, and

“The rapidly increasing; divorce
rate,” remarked the wit,, “indicates
that America is indeed becoming the
land of the free.”'
“Yes,” replied his prosaic friend,
“but the continued, marriage rate
suggests that it is still the home of
the brave.”
