one raid. That is why his fellows called
him ''Coyote-That- Drags- His Foot. :
Thirty years ago, when he was only a
little boy, man in a black dress ut the
mission had thrown a few drops of
water ON him and then said something
in Spanish, and ever since that time
the white people had called him Jesus,
and it was against that name that the
rations he drew were entered.
He had assisted at the burning of the
mission and the killing of the priest
some years after.
Back he turned into the mountains.
For a week or two he waited to hear
from the rest of the band, but no orders
came back. He would wait until spring,
when some of them would surely break
away from the reservation and take the
war trail back into Mexico. Old Geroni-
mo and Chatto and the rest always
broke away in the spring. He didn't
know that the incomprehensible white
men would send the bad chiefs off in the
railroad train SO far that they could
never get back.
So Jesus started out alcne. There
are not many people about the Sierra
Madre, but he knew a trail where the
prospectors sometimes Travelled, and he
loitered along this urail. AT last he saw
mounted man against the sky on top
of hill. He knew it was not an In
dian, even at that distance, because
Apaches do not ride along a ridge
where their silhouettes can be seen
from miles and miles away. So Jesus
simply slipped behind rock and wait
ed, and the man with his packed burro
trotting ahead came on down the trail
and passed the rock behind which the
Indian hid, and when ne had passed
Jesus raised his Winchester across the
rock and shot him fair in the middle
Ct the back. The man rolled off, of
course, and Jesus watched him struggle
and choke and die, and then Jesus cut
the body and crushed the features with
rocks. Then he caught the dead pros
pector's horse. He did not need horse,
SO he simply hamstruEg the animal
and let him die of hunger and thirst.
trouble, but that would not have been
in accordance with what he had always
done, and the Apache is creature of
habit.
The murder of the prospector would
of course, be discovered, and men would
come to hunt him. Jesus, from his
long experience, knew this, SO he
manned and mangled the dead man
some more to show his derision and
contempt, and went away. What he
found in the pack was welcome. He
got drunk, and he ate until he could
eat no more, but he did not celebrate

DEVELOPMENT OF FICTION.
Herbert Spencer Says 1t Originated in
Biography.

Biography.
That fiction has developed out of BIZ
ography scarcely needs proof. Unless
a biographer is accurate, which even
modern biographers rarely are, and
which ancient biographers certainly
were not, it inevitably happens that
there is more or less of fancy mingled
with his fact. The same tendencies
which in early times developed anec-
dotes of chiefs into NEUROLOGICAL
stories of them as gods operated uni
versally, and necessarily produced in
narratives of mems lives eXaggerations
which greatly distorted them. If we
remember the dispute among the
Greeks respecting the birthplace of po-
ELS and philosophers, we see how reck-
less were mems statements and how
largely the actual was permeated by
the imaginary. So, too, on coming
down to Christian times, it needs but
to name the miracles described in the
lives of saints to have abundant proofs
OF such vitiations. AS. in our own days
the repeater of an anecdote or the cir
culator of a scandal is tempted to make
his or her story interesting by making
much of the striking points, SO, still
more in early days, when truth was less
valued than now, were stories step by
step perverted as they passed from
mouth to mouth.
Of course, the narrator who gave the
most picturesque version of an adven-
ture or achievement was preferred by
listeners, and, of course, ever tempted
TO increase, the imaginary additions,
passed insensibly into maker of tales.
Even children, at firstanxious to know
Ivy and by become ready to accept un-
true stories, and then some of them,
thus taught by example, invent won
derful tales to interest their compan-
ions. With the uncivilized or semi-civ-
i]iZed like genesis naturally occurs
among adults. Hence the established
class of story-tellers in the east-au
thors of oral fiction, And how gradual
ly by this process fiction is differenti-
ated from biography is shown by the
fact that at first these stories which,
as exaggerations of actual incidents,
are partially believed in by the nara
tors, are wholly believed in by the lis
tcners. In his 1.-TWO Years Residence
in a Levantine Family" Mr.. Bayle st.
John tells us that when ''The Arabian
Nights" was being read aloud and when
he warned those around that they must
got suppose the narratives to be true,
they insisted on believing them, ask
ing: "Why should man sit down to
write lies?" So that after fiction comes
into existence it is still classed as biog-
raphy-is not distinguished from it as
among civilized nations. = Herbert
Spencer, in Contemporary Review.
