DEVILS Dance OF the Apaches.

A curious peace ceremony of the
Apaches is @the devil dance" which
Is celebrated in honor of their great
est chief, long since departed. They
have been taught through tradition,
through their medicine men," that
their great chief departed with the
setting of the sun, and that his re-
turn can only be secured by the adj
herence of his tribe to the manners
and customs prevalent during his
reign. There are five principal act
ors, each arrayed in fantastic mask
which covers the whole face. Around
blazing camp fire is circle of
bucks, squaws and children to the
number of four hundred. Tom toms
beat, accompanied by wild mono
tonous chant. Suddenly a dozen
bucks rush frantically into the circle
and begin to pound monster, which
proves at closer glance to be simply
d rawhide, with desperate energy.
Then out of the darkness comes a
piercing cry, and the five dancers APP
pear, trotting in single file, brandish,
ing weapons, and comforting their
bodies. They dance up to the mon
ster that is being beaten, and back in
to the darkness; they circle round,
and leap and yell till the night wears
away. Not until the glow in the east
heralds approaching day do they
stop.
