''Iou are just in time for an apple pie |

"Bless your kind heart and sweet face y
said the old woman "You are never so
poor yourself but you remember those who
are worse off. But it's Miss Matte want
to see"
"Iou are just in time, then. There is
the noon bell ringing, and here comes Aunt
Matte and May to help about dinner"

chorus, "Oh, Peggy, did you find one?"

here it is"
And from the folds Of her shawl Peggy
drew forth large folded document, in
dorsed in round legal hand on the back:

Aunt Matte sat down and cried softly.
Bessie danced around like an insane In

last, when she was exhausted with her
solitary dance
"Well, dears, said the old woman,

empty the mattresses, for they were won
derfully comfortable for my old bones in
the winter, and so today ripped them
open, as Mick Calloran said he'd give a
fair price for the hair and fill them up
again with husk. And pushed in one of
them, near the middle, in little slit cut
with knife, found the paper. And it's
thankful l am this day that it's good news

"Good news! The best of news" said
Bessie. 'You shall have the warmest

lawyer. "And so Mr.. Oldfeld wanted
you to burn the bed and bedding! HIM.
| shouldn't wonder if he was afraid of this
very discovery and was too great coward
to risk hunting for it himself. 1t is my
opinion that he will burn the whole house
down yet if he keeps possession long.

The will was given into Mr.. O'Bryne' 5
keeping and in due time proved and eX
ecuted. The heir-atlaw made a great
bluster, but knowing his rage was useless
left the house once more, considerably
the worse for his sojourn in it. The fact
that even the temporary enjoyment of his
unce's money was an altogether uneX-
pected event probably aided his acquies,
cence in the legality of the will.
The house was cleaned and purified and
once more given over to Aunt Mattie's
quiet rule and the happy occupancy of the
twin sisters who gladly gave up their sew
ing and teaching to join in the social pleas
ures OF Topham. The hospital flourishts,
and old Peggy never tires of relating how
she found the fortune of the Joyce ladies
in the hair mattresses William Oldfield
ordered to be burned on the day when fear
made him too cautious.

A BURGLHRiOUS REIGN
Two More Residences Entered on
Sunday Night.

Burglarfes have been 50 numerous in
Phoenix and vicinity Within the last
three or four days that a sense of in
security announcing almost to a reign
of terror prevails. Don't say that
I'm going away" said a gentleman who
was leaving town last night for a few
days; eff the burglars should see it in
the paper they would probably raid my
house and scare my wife to DEATH
1t was discovered yesterday morn
ing that the house cf Mrs. w. l. Hor-
ner at Sixth and Van Buren, streets
was burglarized on Sunday night. The
house is unOccupied but there is
stored in it a lot of furniture betong-
ing to Mr.. C. J. Hail The burglar
made an entrance in the rear by break
ing iL.-0 a bath room. The door be-
tween that and the rest of the house
was locked. They then went out and
broke into the other side. They make
a very thorough search for valuables.
Dresser drawers were torn out and
their contents scia.tered about the
floors. 1t was not ascertained that
was carried away When the
robbers left they took all the keys w:.h
them.

uation of these heavenly bodies de-
sired, the doctor is at present unable
to determine, and is now engaged in
making calculations in the hope of as
cef'-ain,ing by rules how this
ds'-e is annually fixed. One thing,
however, seems to be apparent. That
is that the native priests desire as
prOpitious an occasion as possible on
which to offer their prayers, believing,
reasonably that they will be of more
practical effect.
The stars are watched faithfully
during the summer season and when
the proper times arrives the observa-
tion is taken by the chiefs between the
hours of II and O'Clock in the morn
ing, and the date of the snake dance
is then set twenty days thereafter.
The next night after the setting Of the
date of the drnce a PTieEI named

THE SNAKE DANCERS
Peculiar Rites and Customs
of the MOqui indians.
A Partial Description of Their ReIIgi-
Gus Belief and Secret Cere-
monIsIS as Witnessed by Dr..
J. Miller of Phoenix.

Much has been written regarding the
Moqui snake dance and the work,
meaning and influence OF their secret
orders. But the half has never been
told and much more will of necessity
be written befcIe the reading public
has any we'll defined ideas of the story
of this ancient race or the historical
value of their traditions. The seem
dngly awful orgies of the snake dance
alone, which is but a demonstrative
feature of their religion, has been fire.
quently described by gifted writers
who have been permitted to witness it,
as that particular portion of'thEir cere=
monials is Of a public character and
therefore can be seen by all who will
take the trouble to journey to their
villages at the proper time.
But to The student and the thinker
who has learned to look beneath for
ideas, who cares for the philosophy of
a people rather than their ceremonials,
the MOqui customs present a field of
research as yet but scarcely entered
upon, and what is more disheartening
the difficulties 20 be overcome are so
great that none but these, deeply in
terested VIII attempt to surmount
them. DR.. ]. Miller, superintendent
of the territorial insane asylum, is well
known as student OF ethnolOgy and
archaeology, and has made two trips
to the Moqui villages, having for his
purpose scientific Investigation rather
than the qualification of Idle curiosity.
He had previously made the acquain'--
ance Of some OF the important per-
sonages of the tribe, and this year was
promised admission into their secret
orders. Accordingly on the 18th of
July he left Phoenix accompanied by
q Moqui Indian youth named Frank
Tcu-a-whei, a studer,. of the Phoenix
InGian school, as Interpreter, and in
due season they arrived at the villages
about eighty miles north of HOlbrook.
There are seven villages located on
three different mesas known as the
East, Middle and West mesas. There
are three Villages on each the East
and Middle, and one on the West
mesa The political government of
the villages is strictly under the
United States Indian agents direction.
as he appoints the different chiefs of
the villages, and all the peculiar Gus
toms talked and written about pertain
entirely to the religion of the people
with which the government has made
no effort to interfere.
The tribe is divided into different
gems, of which it is believed there are
about twenty-three. The priests hold
their religious offices solely by virtue
Of the gems to which they belong, and
their dignffied positions are attained
through what might be called a sys-
tenn of royalty.
1t was Dr. MilIer's intention on Ieav-
ing Phoenix to obtain if possible the
ritual work of the snake gems, as he
