THE PICTURE AND THE STORM
THE church of Our Lady of Piety, in Mexico City, was founded by the Dominicans in 1652. Shortly before that time a member of the order went abroad on some business to the Holy City, and was directed, while there, to order a picture of the Virgin and the dead Christ from the most famous painter in Rome. This commission he fulfilled, but the artist, being of a postponing dis-position, made such slow progress that when it was time for the monk to start back to America the work had been merely sketched, and not a brushful of color had been applied to it. In those times a journey of such distance was not undertaken every day, and as it might never fall to the Dominican to visit Rome again, he concluded to carry the picture with him, slight though it was. He paid the artist a small sum, jogged on muleback and trundled in ​carriages to Spain, and there took a vessel for Mexico, the canvas, closely rolled, forming a part of his luggage.
Not many days from port a furious storm set in, and it seemed doubtful if the ship could weather it. Sails were torn, cordage broken, bulwarks staved, and all on board were in terror, until, at the monk's suggestion, they vowed to build a church to the Virgin in Mexico if she would permit them to reach that land in safety. She allowed the storm to rage a little longer, the better to impress them with their peril, then the clouds were scattered, the waves stilled, the winds abated, and the ship rode serenely into harbor. The sailors were as good as their word. They spent their time ashore in collecting money, and with it the Dominicans laid the foundations of this church. After the altar had been completed the monk bethought him of the drawing he had brought from Rome. He unrolled it, and, to the astonishment and admiration of all, it was finished in color, to the last brush-stroke. It hangs above the altar, and is greatly venerated.
# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/The Councillors of Lagos

Layout 2
THE COUNCILLORS OF LAGOS
SOME of the things that they tell about the New Amsterdam, in the days of Peter the wooden-legged and iron-headed, are strangely like some other things that have happened in this strange land of the sun. Lagos, a thriving city of twenty thousand people, was for a long time the butt of light wits from other towns, and its councillors seem to have been chosen with especial reference to unfitness for their places, wherein they differ from all other statesmen. They have a bridge in that city which for some time was allowed to bear this inscription:
Needless to add that some joker had painted on the last half of the sentence. There were twelve of the famous law-givers in Lagos, and they were accustomed on assembling in their hall to occupy a long wooden bench. One day six of them arrived in advance of the others and sat down, each with his hat beside him,—the big sombrero that takes as much seat-space as a man, Presently came the other six, who looked at the bench in astonishment.
"Santa Maria!" exclaimed one of them. "The dry season is here, and it shrinks the bench."
"True," said another; "but perhaps if we all pull hard we can stretch it out as long as it used to be."
Up arose the six, put on their hats like the rest, and all pulled. Then the twelve sat down with their hats on, and, lo! there was room for all.
At another time the people were much troubled by a hole that had been left on the plaza in con-sequence of some public work. Our wise men ordered it to be filled. The dirt to fill it was dug about fifty feet away, and that left another hole. Children were continually tumbling into it, near-sighted and elderly citizens had narrow escapes every day, graceless beings who had looked upon the fire-water when it was inflammable fell into it head first and went to sleep. This second hole ​was worse than the first, because the people had not grown used to it. So the councillors held another meeting and resolved to fill this second pit. The contractor took the earth from a place some yards away, and this left a third hole. In time this, too, was filled, and the holes thus proceeded in a slow and orderly fashion until they had been chased to the edge of the town, where the last one was left for time and the dumpings from neighboring residences to abate its dangers. Lagos may have been the original place where it was decided to build a new jail in this fashion: "Resolved, that we build a new jail. Resolved, that we build it out of the materials of the old one. Resolved, that we use the old one until the new one is built."
The next time that the minds of the councillors were disturbed was when it was found that grass was growing on the roof of one of its public buildings. How could it be shorn? Various costly expedients were suggested, but the most wakeful intellect in the company conceived this remedy, and his plan was adopted a road was built from the street to the top of the house, a cow was driven up this road to the roof, the cow ate the grass, was driven down again, the road was carted away, and the council slumbered.
# Caroling Dusk/Frank Horne

FRANK HORNE
Born in New York City, August 18, 1899, I have lived all but about six years in Brooklyn. I studied at the College of the City of New York, and was guilty there of my first sonnet; but am ever so much more proud of my varsity letters won on the track—once ran a “10 flat” hundred and a 51 sec. quarter. Went to the Northern Illinois College of Ophthalmology—took degree “Doctor of Optometry.” Have practiced in Chicago and New York. At present ​writing, am doing some teaching and publicity work at the Fort Valley High and Industrial School, Georgia, while recovering from a mean illness. Have had a hankering to write as long as I can remember, but Charles Johnson, Editor of Opportunity and a certain Gwendolyn Bennett are responsible for my trying it openly. My “published works” are limited to the indulgence of Opportunity, The Crisis, and Braithwaite’s Anthology. It is the perversity of my nature to crave the ability to write good prose, and yet my attempts at poetry are the only things to which any notice is given.”
# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/Evil Spirits in the Springs

EVIL SPIRITS IN THE SPRINGS
ATZCAPOTZALCO, near Mexico City, is renowned for two springs and somewhat feared because of them. The first, near the ruined Zancopinca aqueduct, is an innocent-looking pond of sweet water; but beware, especially if you hear singing; for down beneath it is the palace of ​rock-crystal where the dreaded Malinche lives during a half of each day. During the other half she is in her spring at Chapultepec. Forbidding, even fiendish, in her disposition in Atzcapotzalco, she is angelic in Chapultepec. This is probably because she adheres to the old gods of the nation that linger about the battle hill, while the nearness of Christian shrines and blessings in the other home arouses every fell instinct in her nature. She spends her days in Chapultepec and her nights in the Zancopinca pool. At early morning and in the evening she sings, and her voice bubbles through the cool, clear flood in wondrous melody. Christian, if you are one, be careful as you approach the edge. Down there the moving reflections of the sky resolve themselves into a lovely form, a face with star eyes, hair like the finest water moss. Put your hands upon your ears, hurry off and say your prayers; for if you stay the song will dull your sense like wine, a languor will enchain you and delude you with dreams. You will bend over farther and farther, the face will smile up at you, the graceful arms invite you, the buried treasure of Guatamotzin, that Cortez could not win, though he put its owner on the rack, will glitter behind the figure, and it is all yours, nymph, palace, treasure, all. You plunge forward. The arms enfold you, and it grows dark. Christian intruder in the Aztec land, have you won joy, or death?
​In another direction you come upon a grove of large ahuehuetes surrounding a space where a fount once brimmed its basin,—brimmed, and never over-flowed. It was so cool and pure, that spring, that in the warmth of mid-day the stranger coming upon it was moved to fall to his knees, bury his face below the surface and cool his dry throat with a long draught. Hapless mortal if he did so, for this spot, too, was inhabited by a spirit as dangerous as the Malinche, and at the first sip the drinker disappeared, nor ever again returned to the air in the sight of men. One day a procession of priests emerged from the church, not far away, carrying the Virgin's image and chanting solemnly. They walked up the road as far as the spring, set up an altar for the statue beside it, one of their number mounted its step and preached against the wickedness of the water sprite, then all threw in stones and earth until the basin was filled, and a chapel was presently built above it to keep the water down. In time the chapel crumbled away, and the spring may yet be free again; for, if you listen, you may hear it, deep down, laughing softly to itself. It is as much alive as ever, and who knows———?
# Myths and Legends Beyond Our Borders/Why Cholula Pyramid Was Built

Layout 2
WHY CHOLULA PYRAMID WAS BUILT
IN the land of Anahuac and elsewhere were many giants. The Tlascalans who showed their bones—real bones, taller than a man could not be persuaded that such things might have belonged to lizards and elephants, for there are no such animals about here now. The Tlascalan ​people were so annoyed by the misbehavior of the giants, many centuries ago, that they were forced to kill them or drive them into the wilderness, to perish of starvation. Nevertheless, so many were left that the lives of the people were in constant peril, and around Cholula the monsters became so wicked that the gods decided to destroy them, even though they incidentally had to drown or change the innocent also, and they poured a mighty deluge upon the earth. All the people were overcome by the sea and turned into fishes, except seven, who succeeded in gaining a cave, where they stayed until the waters were withdrawn, either into the sky or under the earth, when they came forth and peopled the world again. It appears that these folk learned little from having been drowned, for they acquired new sins, and, in order to get the better of the gods in the event of another deluge, they decided to rear a pyramid whose top should reach the heavens. They might have climbed any of the great volcanoes, but perhaps those peaks were in eruption; and they began to build on Cholula plain. Bricks were shaped and sun-dried at a distance from this spot, were passed along from hand to hand by a file of men extending for miles across the country, and after being put in place were plastered with bitumen or some other sticky substance. The work was not to proceed far, because this monument of presumption angered the gods anew, and ​according to one report they bent down from the heavens and blew off its top, their breath striking the earth as a tornado, while another account says that they hurled down fire. Reasons for this latter version are strengthened by the fact that a great meteorite was preserved in the sun-god's temple on the summit of the pyramid, where it probably fell, and was greatly venerated. This meteor, the priests said, was the thunderbolt of the gods. On the destruction of the mound, which some say was merely defensive in its purpose, the people were further punished by being unable to understand one another. Aztec historians said that Cholula pyramid was built, not by giants or wicked people, but by the fair god, or prophet, Quetzalcoatl; for he lived there, taking refuge from his enemies (Cholula means "place of the fugitive"), and teaching useful arts and forms of worship to the inhabitants. A relic of his father, a quantity of blond human hair, was shown to the Spaniards when they came, but the god himself had long been gone to happier climes.

​ONE DAY
Today I have been happy. All the day I held the memory of you, and wove Its laughter with the dancing light o' the spray, And sowed the sky with tiny clouds of love, And sent you following the white waves of sea, And crowned your head with fancies, nothing worth, Stray buds from that old dust of misery, Being glad with a new foolish quiet mirth.
So lightly I played with those dark memories, Just as a child, beneath the summer skies, Plays hour by hour with a strange shining stone, For which (he knows not) towns were fire of old, And love has been betrayed, and murder done, And great kings turned to a little bitter mould.
