Montezuma's Long Sleep.

The stone face in the desert near
ella Bend is believed by the Mexican
Indians to be that of Montezuma, who
will one day awaken from his long
sleep. " So strong is this. belief in
some parts of Mexico" says. the Over
land Monthly" that people who passed
through the country years ago tell Of
some localities where fires were kept
constantly burning in anticipation of
Montezuma's early coming. 1t looks
as though the stern face up. there was
just little softened in its expression
by the deep slumber that holds the
eyelids over the commanding eye, and
all nature seems hushed into death like
stiffness. Day after day, year after
year, century after century, slumbers
the man up there on the height, and
life and vegetation sleep on the arid
plains below-slumber never disturbed
"a sleep never broken for the battle
cry of Yuma, Pimo, and Maricopo,
that once rang at the foot of the noun
tains, did not reach Montezuma's ear
and the dying shrieks of the children
of those who came far over the seas to
rob his scepter and crown. fall unheed
ed on the rocks and TIE deserts that
guard his sleep.
