probably one or two other more savage in
gradients, a sort Of Sierre Madre succOtashs
as it were.
The civilized Tarahumaris are quite
clearly for savages, nOticeably more so
than the lower order Of MeXicans, and yet
there was plenty Of room, great unswept
back counties Of it, for improvement in this
characteristic.
We left the very interesting little village
of Naqueachic at 3:15 p. m, after our lunch,
and at once started over a high range or
crest some two thousand feet above our
level. and from the crest of which we could
see far down in the beautiful valley one of
the largest and most important Tarahumari
villages in the Sierra Madres, the town of
SisOguichic. I would have liked very much
to have camped here for the night, as it was
late enough when we passed through 4:30
in the afternOOn) but there was no corn tor
the mules and no grass to feed upon within
three or four miles Of the town, so We
passed on.
The most important building in the place
was the Catholic Church, for these civilized
Tarahumari Indians were Christianized by
The Jesuits a century or two before the first
Bible was seen or heard Of west Of the
Allegheny range in our own country. In
fact, some of the cliff jewellers and cave
abiding Indians have adopted Christianity.

efforts to adopt the ways and customs of
the white people, or even their more civil

spoke many soIcitous words Of sym apathy,
finally drawing a chair up near the girl and
sitting down himself. 1t was the bathing
hour. and the hotel was practically DESERT
ed, so these two sat chatting away about
sprained ankles and liniments till the
crowd began coming back from the beach.
All the girls looked with enViOuS eyes at
the little fairy who had turned her ankle
and wondered who the stylish young man
time came, and suddenly the girl jumped
up from her chair:
q must go now and have my hair fixed
for dinner, said she. Il Will see you
again, shall I nOt?" And she cast upon
him look Of fattering hope that he Would
not forsake her.
Il sincerely hope I shall have that pleas
ure." he replied.
Then the jade went prancing on in a
manner that showed that her ankles were
in perfect condition. Recovering her pres
enee Of mind at the door, she turned with
m1schleVOus and cOquettish look toward
the asGOntshed yOunr man, and ltmped out
Of sight, Struggling her shoulders as she
went.
At these seaside places eating is reduced
to a delicate dude the first time he eats
with a girl who has acquired an Old Or
chard appetite.
What shall I order?" asked one no ice,
as he aimed his eye glass at a bill Of l. @.
We'll, usually have it all brought, she
replied, and not half of it gets away again. .

ethereality would indicate a limited capac-
ity in all save soul come down to earth and
consume rare roast beef and boiled pota-
toes with an air Of profound triumph.
1t is all in the air, of course. This sea air
covers multitude of everything. It stimu-
lates children so that they can't get to bed
till near midnight. 1t instigates here more
successful dances than one is accustomed
german here is positively imposing in its
Whirling plentifulness. The dance hall is
dazzling with a moving throng Of people
who are not afraid to come out in every
color that nature knows or dyeiDg establish

courage is not artistic, but it opens up new

invest it with d. unity. 1t would CONCEAL

is hard to conceive of the copiOusness in
the way Of young people that is to be found
at this place. Every hotel is cornucop ja
of youths and maidens, and, of course thai
assures a vast amount OF frivOlity. Dancing
is a perfect rage. 1t begins after breakfast
and doesn't cease till toward the following
morning Twice each week a fulI-dress
hop is perpetrated and the girls dare to be
snowy in their costumes, while the men
actually have nerve enough to come down
in evening dress, looking like trussed tur-
keys. 1t is a strange distortion Of rural
ness, this. So fashionable are some Of the
girls that have sketched one of them in
her afternoon promenade attire, and of an
evening the toilets are ball-Ike. as shown
by the next picture Of two fair young Old
Orchardites.
One becomes acquainted readily here, for
a lovely young man is hired on purpose to
promote social intercourse. He gets a new
conner by the lapel Of the coat and lows him

At 1920, by the Mexican method of tray

hours.
It was at the quaint little civilized pueblo
OF Tarahumari Indians named Naqueachic,
they living in stone and log cabins instead
of caves and cliff dwellings.
entered one Of their houses and found
much of savagery badly mixed up with
their so called civilization. On the top Of
a loom for weaving blankets was CULVER
containing bows and arrows. There was
nothing particularly we'll made about the
latter, the culver being OF coarse sheepskln
In one house and OF mountain lion in the
other. the bows being Of very modest,
plain design, while the arrows were simply
wooden ones with the usual feather tips,
although they told me that they were yet
to receive an iron or steel barb on the end
before being used. They use them In the

country, which is then easier to secure,
besides being a season Of more leisure to
