A PUEBLO LEGEND.
Poetic Tale of the City of Pecos That
Has Been Handed Down Through
Many Generations.

Through all the grotesque darkness
of Pueblo superstition runs a bright
thread ofpoetic legend; and one legend,
since it is woven around the ruined es-
tufa in the ruined Pueblo of Pecos, has
a right to be told here, writes Marion
Hill, in Frank Leslie's Popular Monthly.
Pecos was founded by the man-god,
the great Montezuma himself, and he
therefore probably felt protective in
terest in it; at any rate, when the
usurping Spaniards lay upon the con-
quered Pueblos a cursed rule of re-
straint and wrong, Montezuma invoked
against them the aid of his brother
gods in Heaven. These told him to
plant tree. upside down beside the
chief estufa of Pecos, and to light
holy fire upon the altar, and if the fire
were kept burning until the tree fell
then would there come to the rescue
of the oppressed great pale-face ma
ton, and deliver them from the Span
ish thrall.
So the fire was lit, and sentinel was
posted to guard it's sacred flame; and
the tree was planted-under the cir
cumstances the planter would be ex-
cusable in planting the tree as inse-
curely as possible. But year after year
passed, and the tree remained standing.
Sentinel succeeded sentinel, and the
fame lived on. Generations withered
away, yet deliverance seemed no near
er. One day there came rumor from
old Santa Fe that the city had surren-
dered to a white-faced people. Was
this the band of deliverers? That day
at noon the sacred tree toppled and
fell. Spanish rule was no more. The
prophecy had been fulfilled.
If there be an unbeliever of this
legend, let him go to the, ruins of Pc
cos and see for himself that whereas
the city was built upon a mesa SO bar
rem that no trees are there nor ever
have been there, yet across the crum-
bling estufa lies the fallen body of
pine of mighty growth. The like of it
is not for many miles around. Whence
then did it come?

Bear and Cow Friends.

Out in Wyoming a farmer caught a
bear cub and put it in the barn over
night. In the morning he found it
lying alongside of a cow whose calf
had been taken away the day before.
The bear was taking milk from the
COW. From that day a friendship
sprang up between the oddly assort-
ed pair, and the farmer, out of curios-
ity, let them go together. The bear
went to pasture with the cow and re-
turned with her, and when the COW
was being MIXED, would sit on his
hind legs and watch the operation.
The cow would look at the little fell
low and moo" contenteGly, and lick
him fondly. But the cub soon grew
too big and rough in it's play, and the
COW hooked him, so the pair were
separated and the bear was sold to 4

leign's desk was batch of kilograms
from department headquarters. Two
came in during their long conference
in the afternoon, and the quartermas-
ter had lowered his hand long enough
from that lurid welt on his sallow
cheek to hurriedly write two or three
in reply. One Folsom felt sure was
sent IN cipher. Two days before, Bur-
leigh had urged him to protest as We
hemently as he could against the send
ing of any money or any small detach-
ment up to the Big Horn, and protested
he had strenuously. Two days before,
Burlelgh said it was as bad as murder
to order a paymaster or disbursing Of
ficer to the Hills with anything less
than battalion to escort him, and yet
within four hours after he was put
in possession of nearly all the paper
currency in the local bank secret
| order was issued sending Lieut.. Dean
with ten picked men to slip through
| the passes to the Platte, away from
| the beaten road, and up to ten p. m.
Dean himself was kept in ignorance
| of his further destination or the pur-
| pose of his going. Not until half-past
ten was a sealed package placed in his
hands by the post quartermaster, who
had himself received it from Maj. Bur-
leigh, and then and there the youn g
officer was hidden by Col. Stevens, as
the medium of the department COM
mander, to ride with all haste com
| mensurate with caution, to ford the
of 10, Ok 70 4
the Platte, to travel by night if need
| be and hide by day if he could, to let
no man or woman know the purpose

journey, but to land that package safe

| wane.

| known when he, John Folsom, shook
his hand at parting after tea that

his soldier boy, and found him busy
with the sudden orders, received not
ten minutes before their coming.
Something in Burleigh's almost trem-
ulous anxiety to get that money in
the morning, his ill-disguised chagrin
at Folsoms refusal. something in the
eagerness with which, despite the flu
rious denunciation of the moment be-
fore, he jumped at Folsom's offer to
put up the needed money if he would
withhold the threatened charges-all
came back to the veteran now and
had continued to keep him thinking
during the night. Could it be that
Burleigh stood in need of all this
money to cover other sums that he
had misapplied? Could it be that he
had planned this sudden sending of
young Dean on a desperate mission in
